THE CONSERVATORY CONCERT.—The great event of the coming week is conceded to be the grand closing concert of the popular Musical Conservatory, which has recently been so successfuly established in our city, by those mo3t affable gentlemen and efficient musical instructors, Messrs. Kilbourne, & Paige, assisted by Prof. B. F. Baker, of Boston, a gentlemen who is a great favorite in musical circles at the "Hub." The entire school will participate in the choruses. The reat star soprano, Miss Fanny Kellog, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and the star tenor of the West, Mr. Ora Pearson, of Indianapolis, will render the solos, duetts, etc., in large part. The former is well known here and is- a universal favorite -and has no superior in natural or acquired musical accomplishments, when her age is considered, that ever honored our city with their appearance in public. Prof. Baker will act as director, Prof. Kilbourne as pianist, and Prof. Zobel as organist, the reputation of each of whom is too well known to need any comments from us as to their accomplishments and abilities.

The affair will, no doubt, be the great event of the season, and certainly the grandest success of any like entertainment ever given by local talent in this city. The anxiously longed for event will take place at the grand Opera House next Thursday evening. In behalf of the success of the management who are doing much for the advancement of our a sthetical interests, and also for the well-merited encouragement of the talent of the institution, and the foreign talent, we ask that all our readers patronize the .closing concert of the Conservatory.

STATE NEWS SUMMARY.

There are 2,600 tons of coal mined •daily at Brazil. At Danville beef has declined to prices ranging from six to fifte.en cents per pound, and yet Danville is not happy.

The Bethel Church, five miles south of Greencastle, which is being repaired and beautified, is almost ready for service.

The local editor of the IiaFayette Courier introduced a quantity of carbolic acid into his bed-room to drive away the mosquitoes, and then—went and slept in the woodshed.

The Hoosier State says that Jas. A. Bell and Wm. White dumped a thousand pound chunk of stone coal in front of Joe. Collett's office the other evening. It was taken from their mill coal bank near town.

Putnamville has its mineral spring. It is located one mile southeast of that town on the farm of John Cooper, and the water is reported to be strong with minerals. Mr. Cooper is talking of erecting a bath house.

The saw mill recently blown up on Robert M. Bradahaw's farm is to be rebuilt. It is located just over the line in Clinton township, instead of in Madison township, as we had it last week.

Sil. Davis, a colored man, living in Independence, got all ready t© get married a day or two ago, when a woman, who claimed to be his wife stepped in, and adjourned the party with great eclat, and Sil. is not happy any more.

Mrs. Hornbrook, on learning that Mrs. Robert Dale Owen to whom she was ardently attached, was seriously ill, made haste to go to her assistance. While watching over that lady, Mrs. H. contracted the same disease with which she was afflicted, and, lingering only one week after the other's death, followed her to the unseen world.—Evansville Journal.

The city editor of the LaFayette Dispatch is in tribulation over the loss of his pup. Let him be consoled. The ownership of a dog is a continual source of trouble. Witness the condition of the city editor of the Madison Courier, who has "worrited" himself about his dog Schuyler Colfax, till he has been repeatedly ou the verge of insanity.

The Rockport Journal contains the following notices "WANTED—An intelligent and active young lad of about fourteen summers, to learn the printing business." "BORN—On Thursday, August 10, 1871, to the editor of this paper, a son."

If he had advertised fourteen years ago, he would have had a boy about old enough by this time.—Princeton Clarion. "Nothing like advertising,"as all newspaper men are aware.

At the preliminary examination of the supposed Gossett murderers, at Danville, day before yesterday, quite a number of witnesses were examined before a Justice, at the Court House, a very large crowd being in attendance, and at the conclusion of the evidence, by agreement of the attorneys, the accused parties entered into recognizee© the sum of $5,000

each for their appearance at the November term of the Hendricks Circuit Court. There is considerable excitement existing in the county over the arrest, and opinion appears to be almost equally divided concerning the guilt of the accused.

ABOUT WOMEN AND FASHIONS.

Evening toilets are of white tulle, gauze or grenedene. Large sun-shades are now trimmed with gay fringe.

High-heeled slippers must necessarily revive the ugly Grecian bend. Young lady equestrians are very numerous in the towns along the Hudson. "Lubin's

most

Jockey Club" seems to be the

popular perfume among fashionable ladies. It is the latest edict that the bride be married in plain and simple traveling dress.

A blue veil tied about the neck is supposed to add to a young lady's beauty at the seaside.

The Cavalier hat is fastened up upon one side with an aigrette, and is lined witn silk.

Sleeve buttons made of peach stones are worn by our rustic cousins and would be swells.

A cook, detected in the act of giving a joint or so of cold meat through the railings, to her sweetheart, excused herseli on the ground that they were "airy nothings."

We hope that sensible men will do all they can to favor the schemes for finding employment for woman. We had far rather see them employed in sober business than devoted to tight-lacy-ness.

A charming young friend of ours, who has got tired of the prevailing fashion for short dresses, recently horrified her friends by declaring she would put an end to herself! She subsequently explained, to their great relief, that she only meant to resume "long trails."

First young lady: "So poor Susan is dead?" Second young lady "Yes, poor thing. She suffered terribly, didn't she And only think, she couldn't wear that beautiful silk dress her mother gave her, and it's too short for her sister!"

A Louisville (Ky.) girl whose bridal dress was white satin and point lace, and whose train was carried up the aisle by a page, caused the choir to sing, by her own special request, during the ceremony "Strip me of the robe of pride

Clothe me with humility."

Imagine the astonishment of the audience upon the handsome damsel repeating over the first line.

A second edition of the Grecian bend is now fashionable. It consists in holding the arms as close to the body as possible, bending them until the back and forepart nearly touch the wrists remain elevated, and the hands assume a listless, drooping position, which has been likened to the kangaroo, and to various other animals which are known to assume a similar position. It is all the rage in Saratoga among our metropolitan belles and the Flora McFlimseys from other cities.

Several young ladies of Fort Wayne, a few days ago, accompanied a young gentleman friend to witness an exciting game of base ball, in which he was to take an active part. The young gentleman had forgotten his belt, and his pantaloons kept kitching toward his pedal extremities. One of the young ladies, more thoughtflul in cases of emergencies than most of her sex, suggested in a whisper that her three fair friends—there were four of them in all—should each contribute one of their red, white, or blue (as the case might be) garters to make up a belt for "Charlie." As only women or the blushing maidens know how, each divested herself of a silken elastic, which they clasped together, making a variegated base ball belt for "Charlie," who had nothing to say. but blushingly encircled himself with the newly invented ball belt.

The New York Herald employs a Squid to follow up President Grant. The Squid saw the President the other day, and among other thrilling incidents he recorded the following: "Here the President took leisure enough to strike fire from one of the numerous matches in his little box, but the breeze from the sea, blowing through, the sitting room and out into the piazza where we were standing, put it out."

There was wrath, indignation and hunger in a Titusville hotel, on Saturday. It seems some creditors, who had sued the proprietor, had secured judgment, and sent an officer to the house just as dinner was ready. He levied upon the materials provided, and the boarders were compelled to look elsewhere for their dinner.

In a late number of the Traveller, an international monthly, published at Birmingham, England, is an extensive article on Indiana and Indianapolis, with a map of the railways centering in that city and their connection, and a cut of the new Court House,, which by mistake is designated as the capitol of Indiana. The article gives a clear and terse description of the mineral, agricultural and commereiaLresources of the State, and a brief sketch of that city. It will do much toward advertising the advantages of Hoosierdom.

WE are perfectly willing that clergymen should get as large salaries as they can for, generally, they have a fine talent for everything except for making money, and frequently they show great ability in spending it. But if, as in San Francisco, salaries have been fixed at unreasonably high rates, they will almost inevitably be curtailed before long. We read that one pastor in the above city (a Presbyterian), who was settled at $6,000 per annum, has been cut down to $3,000 and anotherchurch, the preacher of which had been getting the largest honorarium ever paid to a pastor in California, has reduced to $4,000 the annual wages of its shepherd. Hearers grow critical of the sermons when such an extraordinary price is paid for them and if, after all, the pews are not promptly filled up the poor pulpit-man is regarded as a hard bargain.

His late Imperial Majesty of France would be back upon his throne soon enough, if fine words and tender fraternal wishes could restore him. He gave a fete at Chiselhurst on the 17th inst., and invited most of the reigning monarchs, who, however, sent their regrets. Russia's Czar, Sweden's King, Austria's Emperor, the Monarchs of Portugal and Holland, and the Prince of Wales, were all sorry that "previous engagements," &c. This would be soothing to the troubled breast of the royal exile, if fine words were bullion and bayonets but if he be half as shrewd as he is said to be, he knows that all these polite monarchs together have not power enough left to hoist him to his stool again.

THE Springfield Republican calls a family in Ohio which has eighteen children "the champion family." This is a mistake the real champion family is the Grant family. The number of its children is not large, but its offshoots and relations are almost countless, and they are ail successfully quartered upon the Treasury. No other family in the world can approach the Grant family in the talent its chief exhibits for pensioning his worthless relations upon the public crib.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 26, 1871.

MISS JESSIE TAGGART.

Her Arrival Home—Her Experiences in Paris During the Recent War—Interesting Details of Life During tlic

Siege. Miss Jessie Taggart, daughter of Sam uel Taggart, and well known in musical circles, returned home on Wednesday afternoon, from quite a lengthy stay in Paris, where she has been since the 8th of March, 1870, pursuing her musical studies. Miss Taggart passed through all the varied scenes of the two sieges of Paris by the Prussians and the Versaillists, but happily without sustaining any injury. Her health was not at all affected, and she arrived home looking very well, and in most excellent spirits.

A reporter of the Journal called upon the lady at her father's residence, yesterday evening, and learned from her a few facts concerning life in Paris during the late war. All the time of Miss Taggart's stay in Paris she resided at 36 Rue de Pen thieve, (Faubourg st. Honore) near the Champs Elysees. This was a boarding house kept by Madame Verdiu, with about thirty tenants, as they are called.

During the first siege the manner of living in this quarter of the city was not changed very perceptibly from the ordinary as the Prussian shells only reached the Latin, or old quarter, of the city, nearly four miles from the Champs Elysees. The children and their maids played and gossiped on the Champs Elysees as they were accustomed to before the war. The inhabitants amused themselves pretty much as formerly, ex cept that there were no theaters open Miss T. pursued her studies without in terruption. The only time during the Prussian siege that Miss Taggart was under the fire of the enemy was on the 15th of January, when, in company with a lady friend, she visited a boy's school in the old quarter of the city, for the purpose of taking thatlady's brother from school. The Prussians had ceased firing that morning, but as Miss Taggart ap proached, the shells began falling again With her friend she passed through short street, in which but a few minutes afterward a number of persons were killed by the explosion of a bomb. The ladies retired safely and in good order, after accomplishing their object, but did not again venture into that part ot the "doomed city."

About six weeks after the siege had commeuced, the landlady remarked to her tenants that they would soon have to eat horse and other animal flesh, as the supply of beef was rapidly decreasing. They all begged her not to tell them when they began to eat it, as they feared they would not be able to overcome their repugnance at the idea of such food. The landlady gratified their wish, and it was not until a week or ten days had passed that they knew they had been living on "new meat." Miss Taggart said she found it not only palatable, but pleasant Mule meat was very nice, tasting like fresh juicy beef horseflesh was good, but not so tender cats were really excellent, and when served up with rabbit could not be distinguished from it. For dog meat, however, Miss Taggart acquired a distaste she could not overcome Her fellow boarders said it was because her first piece was not a tender one, as they had developed quite a partiality for it. Of rats and other vermin as food, Miss Jessie knew nothing She showed our reporter two specimens of bread they ate during the siege. They were about the color of Boston brown bread, and Miss Jessie said quite palatable. She had only one fault to find with it—almost everything but flour,including a poor specimen of dirt, was used in its composition.

This state of things lasted until the end of the siege, when we all know, the city was revictualed. During the Commune seige, there was plenty of all kinds of food but the Versaillists were not as careful as the Prussians, where they threw their shells, and consequently the neighborhood in which Miss Jessie resided, which is "new Paris"—that part built and beautified by Napoleon—received considerable attention from the beseigers. Madame Verdin's house was entered by pieces of 11" shells, but none of the occupants were injured. A piece that entered the house Miss Taggart has brought with her, together with a fragment of a Prussian shell, given to her by a friend. She also has apiece of marble from St. Cloud, which she picked up the day after the armistice was signed. On it is stamped, in golden letters: "Palace de St. Cloud. Siege de Paris, 1870-1871." Of the later and more horrible scenes of the Commune, our readers are fully aware, and Miss Taggart is unable to add anything to their history. The mail communicatioa with the outer world was ke|t up by means of balloons and carrier pigeons. Minister Washburn received regular packets, and informed Miss Jessie that if she told her father to direct his letters in his (Washburn's) care, she would get them Without fail. She so instructed her father, but the letter never reached him, and as a consequence she received no news from home while the seige lasted.

Having concluded her lessons for the present, Miss Taggart left Paris on the 4th inst, and came directly home, with the exception of stopping a few days in New York. She is yet undecided as to her future. Efforts are being made to have her return to Paris, and from the tone of Miss Taggart's remark they will doubtless be crowned with succsss in a few weeks.—Indianapolis Journal.

Good Joke on Editors.

Soon after Chief Justice Chase (then a Whig) assumed the gubernatorial chair in Ohio, he issued his proclamation appointing a thanksgiving day. To make sure of being orthodox, the Governor composed his proclamation almost exclusively of passages from the Bible, which he did not designate as quotations, presuming that every one would recognize them and admire the words as well as his taste in their selection. The proclamation meeting the eyes of a Democratic editor, he pounced at once upon it—declared he had read it before—couldn't say exactly where—but he would take his oath it was downright plagiarism from beginning to end. That would have been a pretty fair joke but the next day the Whig editor came out valiantly in defence of the Governor, pronounced the charge false and libellous, and challenged any man living, to produce one single line of the proclamation that ever had appeared in print before.—Columbus Statesman.

THE Chinaman is a source of sore trouble to your true Californian. Both political parties in the State recognize the fact, and the leaders have paid the poor compliment to their respective followers of introducing into their platforms resolutions opposing Chinese immigration. Not only that the highly respectable Californians are afraid of the morals or religion of the heathen, but of his competition |in labor. In point of fact, however, it is conceded that the Chinese are disappearing from the Pacific "slope. The highest number ever there is stated by

the

Sacramento Union at

52,000,

and

the number is placed at only 30,000. It would seem, {therefore, that the sound and fury of the political orators were uncalled for, while the hopes which our Eastern

The Very Latest News.

ST. LOUIS, August 26.—Last night at twenty minutes past one o'clock, when the mail train, bound north, on the Iron Mountain Railroad was just below Jefferson Barracks, it struck a short piece of rail imperfectly spiked down. The engine, express car and the front trucks of the baggage car had passed over it in safety, when the end became loosened and moved.

The rear trucks of the baggage car caught and tore it up throwing several cars immediaiely following from the track. The spot at which it occurred was one of the worst on the road, it being directly ou the bank of the river, and but for the fact that the train was moving at a slow rate, the ladies' car, smoking car and Blook's patent car must have gone over the bank and into the water. The couplings did not break.

Although the ladies car was turned over on its side and two others were thrown a short distance down the bank, they were not badly damaged. The passengers, with the exception of one lady, escaped injury. She had one of her limbs bruised, but was not so seriously hurt as to prevent her walking to the station.

Several of the baggagemen and brakemen were pitched down the bank, and one of the latter was considerably bruised by the fall. The mail train was followed by the excursion train of ten coaches, closely filled with the members of the National Association returning after having spent the day at the Iron Mountain. This train was signaled and stopped in time, but was so delayed that the teachers did not reach here until 3 o'clock this morning.

Modes of Death.

To be shot dead is the easiest mode of terminating life rapid as it is the body has leisure to feel and reflect. On the first attempt by one of the frantic adherents of Spain to assassinate William, Prince of Orange, who took the lead in the revolt of the Netherlands, the ball passed through the bone in the back, and brought him to the ground. In the instant that preceded stupefaction, he was able to form the notion that the ceiling of the room had fallen and crushed him.

The cannon shot which plunged into the brain of Charles XII, did not prevent him from seizing his sword by the hilt. The idea of an attack and the necessity for defense was pressed upon him by a blow which we would suppose too tremendous to leave an interval for thought. But it by no means follows that the inflicting of fatal wounds is accompanied by a pang.

From what is know of the first effects of gunshot wounds, it is probable the impression is rather stunning than acute. Unless death be immediate, the pain is varied by the nature of the injuries, and these are past counting up.

But there is nothing singular in the dying sensation, though Lord Bryon remarked the physiological peculiarity that the expression is invariably that of languor, while in death from a stab the countenance reflects the natural character to the last grasp.

Some of the cases are of interest to show with what slight disturbance life may go under a mortal wound, until it finally comes to a full stop.

A

foot

soldier at Waterloo, pierced in

the hip by a musket-ball, begged water of a soldier who chanced to possess a canteen of beer. The wounded man then drank, returned his heartiest thanks and mentioned that his regiment was nearly exterminated, and having proceeded a dozen yards on his way to the rear, fell to the earth, and, with one convulsive movement of the limbs, concluded his career. "His voice," said the trooper, who himself tells the story, "gave scarcely the slightest sign of weakness."

Captain Basil Hall, who, in his early youth, was present at the battle ef Corunna, has singled out, from the conclusion that consigns to oblivion the woes and gallantry of war, another instance, extremely similar, which occurred on that occasion. An old officer, who was shot in the head, arrived pale and faint at the temporary hospital, and begged the surgeon to look at his wound, which was pronounced mortal. 'Indeed, I feared so," he responded, with impeded utterance, "and yet I should wish very much to live a little longer, if it were only possible."

He laid the sword upon the stone at his side, as gently, says Hall, as if the steel had been turned into glass, and immediately sank senseless upon the turf.

A COLORED clergyman in Maryland, who seems to have been gradually losing control over his flock, has struck upon a very ingenious method of punishing backsliders and regaining his influence. A few days since an old woman died in Sumter county, in that State, who had at one time been a member of his Congregation, but had fallen so far from grace as to have ceased to attend the regular service of the church. The pastor attended her funeral, and as a fearful warning to her surviving friends, ordered the remains to be interred with the head downward. He then preached a sermon over the closed grave, and terrified his hearers by declaring that the spirit of the deceased had already gone to the in fernal regions, and that theirs would follow, on their heads also, if they did not immediately reform their lives. The device really has the merit of originality, and promises to work as well as did that of the Chinese priest in Nevada, who saw his charge casting longing eyes on a hog-pen, and prevented them from despoiling it by representing that one of the animals was possessed of a devil.
