GRAND CONCERT IN PROSPECT.—We are already informed that our citizens are to be favored with a grand social concert to be given at the Opera House on some Sunday evening in the early part of April, upon which occasion Mr. James E. Murdoch, the renowned Elocutionist will favor the audience with a reading, from sacred writings, including Paul's Defen.se before Agrippa. No effort will lae spared to make the entertainment successful in the highest degree. Thegentlemen who have assumed its management, are arranging to have the best instrumental and vocal talent the city and State affords, to furnish the music upon that eventful occasion. Of course it will be largely attended.

THE LIZA WEBEE TROUPE OF BLONDES.—As has been previously announced and bulletined throughout the city, the famous Liza Weber blondes are coming to this city and will be at the Opera House Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of next week,upon which occasion one of the best and most laughable entertainments of the season may be expected without fear of disappointment if we can judge by the favorable notice which this popular troupe receives from the press. The following we clip from the Louisville Courier-Journal:

Tho Lisa Weber Troupe commenced a three night's engagement at Weisiiier Hall last evening to a fair house. The company is the best that has appeared here this season, and among the best we liavo ever seen. Lisa Weber herself is protty, dances very well and sings even better. As Ernai,"last night, she was eminently successful her bright manner and address winning her frequent applause and recalls. The inimitable Ketchuni, the funniest man on the burlesque stage, took the part of Don Ruy Gomez, and played it with all the jollity and absurd contortions of face and body of whic-ii Ketchum is alone capable. Geo. Atkins, as Jager, with his lugubrious cast, was excellent, and his "cure" dance as good as possible. Miss Cassie Troy, as Don Carlos Miss Flattie O'Neill, as Donna Elvira and Mr. James Vincent, asSeampa, were severally admirable in their respective parts, the latter in his stilt-dance receiving hearty applause. The troupe throughout Is a well made up one, the programme, so far as we could see, being without objectionable features.

whisky-drinking element of this

place and vicinity, seemed to bo on a regular "benuer" on Saturday last, and we feel safe in saying that during a ten years' residence in this community we have never before witnessed so great a per cent, of drunkenness upon our street as was exhibited on that day. Is it not high time that the friends of sobriety and good order consider the

this much to be desired object, and that is to follow the example of Danville. In that village the ladies have taken the matter in hand and have called upon a saloqn keeperin town, who strange to say, has some respectability left, and in the most determined spirit and the mildest manner, protested against the sale of intoxicating beverages to their fathers, brothers, husbands and sweethearts, and assuring him of their support and patronage if he would go into some other kind of business. This he agreed to do, and has now gone into the grocery business, and is having the hearty support co-operation and patronage of the better class of people in the village.

The next move this noble band of ladies made, was to call on a saloon keeper at Greencastle, who proposed going to Danville and starting a billiard hall, whisky saloon and gambling hell, and remonstrate with him against introducing into their town the evils incident to the establishment of such an institution. Danville ladies have worked up public opinion to such a degree that it is considered a disgrace of the first magnitude for a young man to go into a saloon, whether he patronizes the bar or not. The only way, therefore, for Rockville or any other village to remedy this constantly growing evil, is through the medium of public feeling. And what applies to Rockville or any other village's applies with equal force to Terre Haute or any other city, though it is a work of much more magnitude.

THE DICKINSON LECTURE.—It has been pretty generally announced that Miss Anna Dickinson would lecture in this city next Wednesday evening on the subject of "Men's Rights," but from the following letter received at Mattoon, which we clip from the Journal of that city, it will appear that she will not lecture on that subject at that place, and from the tone of the tetter it seems to us that she will not here

The Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association at Indianapolis has received a similar communication and it has been decided that she lecture on "To the Rescue" in that city, and we supposed our city will be favored with the same lecture. In the face of these letters, the young gentlemen in this city, under whose management she favors us with a lecture, received a communication from Miss Dickinson's agent in Bostou, a few days since, to the effect that she would lecture here ou "Men's Rights."

As it is yet undecided what her theme will be upon the occasion of her coming, the surest way will be for all who are interested in knowing, to be present at the Opera Hoi se next Wednesday evening. We have no hesitancy in guaranteeing those who are fortunate enough to be present, the richest intellectual treat of the season. Let the beautiful Opera House be tilled with the intelligence, beauty and chivalry of our city. Reserved seats can be secured at B. G. Cox's book store, the sale of seats commencing this morning.

CONGRESSIONAL SIMMAKY.

WASHINGTON,

February .25.

Senate.

Mr. Howard presented the credentials of his successor, Thomas White Ferry, for the term commencing March 4th.

Mr. Wiley, from the Committee on Patents, reported bad the bill to revise, consolidate and amend the statutes relating to patents and copy rights. Passed.

On motion of Mr. Cameron, the Senate took up the House bill providing for celebration of the 100th anuiversary of American Independence at Philadelphia.

The Chair stated the question would be on an amendment by Mr. Conkling, to provide for a similar exposition atNew York.

Mr. Fenton, in the absence of Mr. Conkling, called for a vote on the amendment, when it was rejected by a large negative vote. The bill then passed.

On motion of Mr. Howard, the Senate nonconcured in the amendments of the House to the Southern Pacific Railroad bill, and a committee of conference was ordered Messrs. Howard, Kellogg and Flanigan were appointed as a committee.

The Senate then took up the Postofiice appropriation bill and discussed the various amendments reported from the Committee on Appropriations.

The amendment proposing reduction in the item for inland mail transportation, of nearly $500,000 after discussion was defeated, 21 to 23. The clause making appropriations for postage stamped envolopes was discussed, upon the expediency of continuing the practice of the Government in furnishing stamped envelopes with business cards and addresses printed on. The clause was finally adopted as amended prohibitingany engraving or lithographing oh the envelopes, or any other printing than a request to return the letter if not called for, to the address of the writer, and also prohibitingany person who has been de tected in frauds on the Government from bidding for a contract to furnish envelopes.

Mr. Williams moved as an amendment to the bill, the Australian steamship subsidy bill providing a subsidy of $300,000 per annum. He advocate the proposition as a means of creating a valuable commerce across the Pacific, in connection with our Pacific railroads.

Mr. Chandler's motion to lay the amendment on the' table was agreed to, 27 to 24.

After further discussion the Senate went into executive session, and soon after adjourned.

House.

Sir. Hooper, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, presented a letter from General Pleasanton, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, stating that in view of the action taken by the Senate and Committee of Ways and Means, looking toward the repeal of the income tax, he had naturally delayed until the last moment before authorizing any expense in connection with assessment of the tax, but longer delay on his part was impossible. He therefore urged that the action of the House be pressed to a conclusion at once.

Mr. Hooper gave notice in connection with the letter, that at the earliest opportunity he would move to go into Committee of the Whole for the purpose of taking up the bill and repeal the income tax.

Mr. Cox, from the Committe on Election, reported a resolution to pay Mrs. Lei'tswitch, widow of a contestant for a seat, $2,500 for expenses. Adopted.

Mr. Conger, from the Committee on Commerce, reported back the Senate bill to amend the act to establish the railroad and bridges of the New Orleans, Mobile & Chattanooga Railroad Company a post road. Passed.

The House then resumed the consideration of the om tiibus appropriation bill. The item of six millions to indemnify the States for costs, charges and expenses properly incurred for defense of the United States during the late insurrection, was struck out on a point of order, as not, being properly in order in the appropriation bill. The like disposition was made of the item of $850,000 for the payment of horses and other property lost in the military service of the United States.

The items in regard to public buildings in and around Washington, for coast survey, for Freedmeirs Bureau aud navy yards, gave rise to considerable discussion.

On motion of Mr. Scofield, after opposition by Mr. Dawes, an item of $200,000 was inserted for works at League Island navy yard.

After this vole, and in the midst of much contusion arising from a proposition to adjourn, Mr. Sargent asked leave to report from the Committee on Appropriations the Senate amendments to the Indian appropriation bill, and submit a motion that they be non-concurred in and acommitteeof conference appointed.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, objected and the House resumed consideration of the omnibus appropriation bill.

Mr. Starkweather moved to insert an item of $00,000 for construction of a navy yard at New London.

Mr. Dawes expressed the belief that it was needless to oppose the proposition, as he believed there was an understanding that this item was to be put through, after the League Island one.

Mr. Starkweather repelled the insinuation of there being an understanding in the matter. The amendment was rejected.

Mr. Dawes moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill. Mr. Farnsworth declared there were too many jobs in the bill to be passed under a sus'pension of the rules.

Mr. Dawes replied that there was not one item in it which had not been regularly estimated for. The motion was rejected.

The House, at 7 P. M., adjourned. An announcement of a Democratic caucus of the 41st and 42d Congress was made for Monday eveniug next.

What CloYes Are.

Cloves

lu-"!

are the unopened flower of a

small evergreen tree that resembles iu appearance the laurel or the bay. It is a native of the Molucca or Spice "islauds, but has been carried to all the warmer parts of the world, and is now cultivated in the tropical region of America. The flowers are small in size, and grow in large numbers in clusters to the very ends of the branches. The cloves we use are the flowers gathered before opened, aud whilst they are still green. After being gathered they are smoked by a wood fire, and then dried in the sun. Each clove consists of two parts, around head, which is the four petals or leaves of the flower rolled up enclosing a number of small stalks, or filaments the other part of the clove is terminated with four points, and is, in fact, the flower cup and the unripe seed vessel. All these parts may he distinctly seen if a few jloves are soaked for a short time in water, when the leaves of the flower soften, aud readily unroll. Both the •taste and smell of cloves depend on the quantity of oil they contain. Sometimes the oil is separated from the cloves before they are sold, and the odor and taste is in consequence much weakened by such unfair proceeding.

THE DEVIL'S HOPPER.

5

5 Remarkable Care in Georgia. Near the line of Brooks and Thomas counties, Georgia there has been known a cave or opening in the earth, called "Devil's Hopper." Many persons residing in the neighborhood had visited it, but neither of these attempted a real exploration. A gentleman who has recently visited it says it was the most beautiful place he ever saw in his life, and he would not have missed seeing it on any account. He says, after creeping through a narrow entrance at the surface, they descended to the depth of two hundred feet, winding about in the narrow path, walled with sold flint rock, until they came to a well, which they descended by means of a rope, and found it be forty-five feet deep, without water.

At the bottom of this well they found the narrow passage leading off as from the first, in a tortuous course, still walled with flint rock—they continued to follow it, and at some distance from the well entered a large room or hall walled with the same impenetrable flint rock, but jagged and pointed in a thousand fantastic shapes. He declares his inability to describe the grandeur and beauty of this hall by torchlight, but says he found himself in a large room so walled with flint rock so jagged that a fall against it would cut one to pieces, and beautifully hung with stalactities that reflected the light in a thousand forms and sparkled with diamond brilliancy in the nooks and corners of the hall.
