THE headless man, who performed in this city, is at Terre Haute, role of moneyless man.—Neio Albany Ledger.

Thanks to the

from

non-appreciation

of our

citizens of such a dead beat show, the headless man did not

make

much money

in that role, and found it necessary to roll out of the city on short notice.

JUST before we go to press we had the pleasure of a call from C. A. Bruce, agent of the Moulton Concert Troupe, who arrived in the city last evening, and we presume will see to the proper advertising of the concert to be given by the troupe he represents, on the evening of March 5th. Reserve seats at Cox's bookstore Friday morning. See the notice

the Cincinnati Enquirer of the concert there, in another column of the Evening GAZETTE. ,'

THE Opera House at Terre Haute, and upon the ground which it is built, cost $176,000, and it is, sinca the destruction of the Opera House at Chicago, the finest building in the kind in the West.—J inclines Sun.

The Te»re Haute Opera House now has but one competing structure in the West of like character, and that is the Pike's Opera House, Cincinnati, which Miss -Laura Ream, in a letter to the Commercial, says will not compare favorably to the one in tills city, even as revised, or words to that effect.

SOMETIME last week we published an article from Lippincott's Magazine entitled, "The Public Baby," from the pen of Prentice Mulford. At that time we were not aware of the fact which we have since learned from Capt. C. H. Allen that this choice bit of sarcasm applied to a Terre Haute infant in particular. In another column of the Evening GAZETTK of to-day, we publish a communication from "Charity," who takes up the cudgei

the infant prodigy, made the subject of the graphic sketch alluded to above. THE stingiest man in all Indiana has been found by the Muncie Telegraph, Tom Pacy is his name, and he rode to Muncie, where be ordered his horse fed at the Motes House stable. The old gentlemen fed the horse, and afterwards Pacy went in and fed him some more. When he went to start Motes charged him a quarter, helping hitch up and all. The stingy cuss insisted that he must throw off five cents, as the horse had not eaten up all his corn. Motes refused to do this, when stinginess went to the stable and picked the Cbrn out of the trough and put it in his pocket, and also cleaned the hay out of the manger. resser."

Though but little attention has been paid by the agents and managers of the troupe to the advertising of Mrs. Moulton, who is to appear at the grand Opera House in this city in the role of a prima donna on the evening of the 5th of March, we presume she and her support will duly appear, pursuant to announcement in the amusement oolumns of the city press.

Sheusang in Cincinnati not long since, the Enquirer paying her attention in a lengthy notice. The Enquirer says that "the prima donna was grandly dressed, and her manner was that of a "Grand Duchess" in real life. Diamonds, whose value would ransom a Prince, glittered |ipon her coiffure. At elbow and wrist were bracelets of priceless value, which with her robe of blue silk, heavy with lace, and traiu of blue velvet, similarly trimmed, spoke the queen and favorite of an Imperial Court, at a time when France held her head highest, And yet the Song Queen came before the audience simply as an American lady, ask ink approval of the gifts with which nature had generously endowed her.

Her first song, "B.el.Raggio," gave the critics full opportunity of judging the voice, whose oue failing they found to be want of compass whose great points they discovered were thorough cultivation, tolerable sympathy, and wonderful smoothness—a smoothness which rippled over the most difficult notes with less friction than that with which a mountain stream passes over thewellworu rocks which lie in its path.

The song was encored, and the response was ever welcome, '"Bake cafe, she is fooling thee," sung exquisitely.

Pease's "Tender and True," gave the songstress scope to show her wonderful pronunciation—and pretty French accent—and was loudly encored, the reply being a French Bong, so sung to carry the 1 house by storm. Iu fact we would yote the last effort the success of the evening —manner, dress, voice and all considered.

In the second partj Mrs. Moultou's "La Capricosa" was a decided success, while Jier share 6f the duet, from^'Crispin et la Comare," showed how densea wilderness fc of vocalization she could wander among and yet come out trtBW»f^auW

Proposed Ship Canal. have called attention more than once through the columns of the Eve. ning GAZETTE to a movement now on foot to open the navigation of the Wabash river more effectively than is uow the case. Congress, as we have stated, has been asked by representative Niblack of the Vincennes and Evansville District, to appropriate money for this purpose. Though the amount proposed would be but a tithe of the amount necessary to the eud4 to be attained. If more cannot be obtained, better accept it and make fTp the remainder necessary iu other ways than let the project fall through with, especially if the following enterprise proves successful:

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati •Qazettc of recent date says: Reprsentative Shanks and Coburn were both speakers in the House yesterday in favor of a survey by tbe Government looking to the construction of a ship canal from Lake Michigan to a point on the Wabash river, "in the vicinity ofLaFayette. They claim that snch a canal can be opened at a very small expense, which will allow vessels to pass between, the Ohio river and the Lakes.

If the above gigantic enterprise could be carried into execution, it is of the utjnpst importance to the businesi interests of Western Indiana and Eastern Illinois, that the Wabash river from the southern point reached by this ship canal, at least, be opened to navigation the year round, if possible, to attain so desirable a result.

It is an enterprise worthy the attention of two such powerful States as Indiana and Illinois to have navigation opened from Lake Michigan to the Ohio river. We expect to hear more of the movement advocated by Messrs. Coburn and Shanks, in which event we shall keep our readers posted. This is much better business and of immensely more interest to the constituency of these gentlemen than politics. We surmise, too, that it is much more to their interest, as it advances them in the good graces of their* constituency more than anything else they could devote themselves to in their present positions.

Another Fair FlowerCut Down. It will shock and grieve many of the readers of the GAZETTE when they read that Miss Gertrude Stephenson, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Dr. L. M. Stephenson, of this city, is no more. Her death occurred at Rushville, Logan county, Ky., last night, at the residence of her uncle, where she was visiting. Her father received a dispatch to the effect that she died very suddenly, withoat announcing the fatal malady. It is supposed by the doctor to Ifave been congestion of the lungs, as her lungs were in so delicate a condition that he took her from her studies in the Normal School not long since and sent her South for her health. The Doctor, though just recovering from a severe attack of sickss, leaves at 4 P. M., to-day for the scene of death, with a sorrowing heart, which only partats who have yielded up their loved ones can understand and sympathize with. The funeral will take place where the death scene occurred, as the mother of the deceased lies buried there.

Miss Gertrude was but 16 years old and was a bud of extraordinary promise was jpf the rarest intelligence, and the noblest qualities of head and heart, in all respects characterized her. life. She was loved and respected by all who knew her, who"will grieve with her father and relatives, that she has thus been cut down as a beautiful flower when in full bloom.

THAT "PUBLIC BABY.*':

A Reply to Prentice Mnlford's Attack on the Public Baby. Published in the Evening Gazette ana Morning Express, from

Lippincott's Magazine. Prentice Mulford's baby, Which he has pleased to term the "Public Baby," in my estimation, does not so much distort the usually benign and happy face of the traveling public with its fitful outbursts expressive of hidden pain, so much as it seems to have disturbed and distracted poor Prentice's delicate organism, even to such an extent that he should forget past, present and future pleasures.

When we hear a gentleman who has traveled the journey of life alone until he has nearly approached, or may have passed its, meridian, Express himself as bored, aggrieved and angered by younger member of this great progressive family, who simply gives expression to its yet small rights and privileges, we are forced to draw some conclusions of said person's desire to rid himself of such, uncongenial associations.

Can it be that he has so outgrown his early experiences as 4o the ,result of jun overdose of sugar-plums and lasses, as-to be ignoranteof the result therefrom Or is it duty neglected, which robs him of peace? Or does it awaken within his manly breast those deep paternal feelings, which have been stifled so long, that at last they have been perverted into feelings of ebmlty, instead of sympathy for the tender house-plants of humanity?

I think lean speak of what I knoWw this subject. I claim to have a moderate acquaintance Ptyijte ps aspirauts to public notice. Pretty, ugly, laughing, crying ones have all elicited thy, because, it reminded die

or yet have I learned that these domestic treasures were confined to the lowly

yet I am aware that the wealthy usually have fewer of such blessings. There comes to my mind a scene I witnessed in New York city a few weeks since: When one of these little ones, enveloped in fine fabrics, costly laces and soft wraps, was handed from the French nurse to papa, in the elegant carriage, and then to mama, with all the ceremony and dignity with which a Prince could have been led to a throne.

Remembering that "like attracts like it is not so surprising after all, that P. M. should, of all he saw whilesojourning in our modest, though ambitious little city, have forgotten all save the Qjying "Public-Babv." rrear he, too, was suffering from a

surfeit of too much goodies.

CHARITY.

Terre Haute, Feb. 27,1872.

Danger Ahead.

We do not wish to figure in the character of an alarmist but it is only a matter of duty to state that the railway companies on the east side of' the river are threatened with a disaster at no distant day which will, unless promptly averted, cut them oft from communication with St. Louis. The danger to which we refer is one of which we spoke at some length in our issue of February 9th, viz The probability of the river's bitaking through the Americau Bottom into the old "Long Lake channel," at a point ppposite the mouth of the Missouri. We showed how swift and resistless WAS the ahraiding influence at that point that it had penetrated into the Bottom 950 feet ij^a little over two years. We showed that the remedy for this evil lay, not in building dykes and revetments at, or opposite, the mouth of the Missouri, but in digging a canal from river to river, at a point 12 miles above the mouth of the Missouri, and thus turn that stream against the Illinois limestone blufft. But we do not wish to repeat further, but simply to add that the imminence of the danger of the river's breaking through into Long Lake is even greater than we thought when we penned our former article. A reliable civil engineer, (who is familiar with every foot of ground on the American Bottom, between St. Louis and the point threatened,) informs us that there is now only a narrow strip of land, about 400 feet wide, between the river and Long Lake, and that the abrasion is still going on unchecked, and at the present rate of progress will, inevitably, soon cut through into the Lake. In all probability this action will be hastened this spring by the high water which will, doubtless, o^cur. Should the frail barrier now remaining fail to withstand the flood, and allow the rijer to break through into the Lake, every line of railroad running into St. Louis from the east will be cut off. The railroad companies, therefore, cannot be too prompt in striving to avert the disaster. An old and experienced Government engineer, who has made several hydrographical and topographical surveys of the mouth of the Missouri and vicinity, stated, a few days since, that the plan we proposed in our issue of February 9th, viz, a canal at Portage Des Sioux, from river to river, was entirely feasible, and was, in fact, the only plan by which the river could be prevented from eventually finding its way into the old Long Lake channel: It is not yet too late in the season to dig such a canal, before high water, and if it is not done this spring so favorable an opportunity may not oecur again until the evil is past remedy.—^. Louis Railway Register.

WACHTEIJ is a great singer, and yet a good many people in Chicago wish that he had never floated into this port on his high C. Among them are the young men who are out in kid gloves, neck-ties, carriage-hire and refreshments for the night, when he suddenly concluded%not to sing the young ladies who spent hours in arraying themselves like lilies,*and then exhibited their attire only to the coachman the livery men who had made up their minds on reaping a great harvest this week, and were disappointed tbe worthy treasurer of the Globe, Mr. Marsh', who finds that establishment out of pocket on three occasions, for which he had figured large profits the vivacious De Vivo who has innocently got himself into a law suit through the tenor's perversity of throat, and Wacbtel himself who has left behind an indefined impression that he is not the most delightful gentleman in the world to deal with. All this shows the folly of aiming too high. IfWachtelhad not soared after his he might have kept his valuable throat in health and all this misery would have been averted. Young men, avoid the high notes and content yourselves with warbling sweetly on the humbler tone of baritone.—Cfo'cafifo Eve-, ning Mail. S5"THE personnel of the United States Senate changes more rapidly than many suppose. Comparing a Congressional directory only six years old with one just issued, we find there were but twenty-five States represented in the Senate in 1866 against thirty-seven in 1872. Of the fifty Senators of the Thirty-ninth Congress, ten are dead—McDougal, of California Riddle, of Delaware Grimes, of Iowa Lane, of Kansas Guthrie, of Kentucky Fesseriden, of Maine Howard: of Michigan Norton, of Minnesota Wright, of New Jersey, and Foote, of Vermont and of the remaining forty, tWentystwo are in private life, one (Gratz Brown) is Governor of a State, one (Buckalew) is member of a State Legislature, and one (Poland) is member of the House of Representatives. Of the remaining fourteen, the successors of two—Davis, of Kentucky, and Harlan, of Iowa—have already been chosen, and one or two more are likely to be superceded by elections next winter. Statesmanship is not a permanent occupation in this country^

OuRNdaily railroad accident yesterday was of unusual horror. A train loaded with passengerg on the Louisville & Cincinnati Short line broke through abridge and was precipitated down an embankment twenty-five feet, a mass of human beings killed and maimed, involved in the debris of the train. Over fifty were wounded, two of whom were killed outright, and majiy more must die. Disgraceful ignorance or outrageousrecklessness alone can account for this terrible calamity. If the officers of the road had a decent knowledge of the business, or an ordinary care for the safety of their passengers, the weakness of the rotten structure would long ago have been discovered and provided against.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28—An accident, which will probably prove fatally, occurred on a train yesterday which was conveying the remains of Legraiid Lockwood to Norwalk. When the train stopped at the Harlem bridge, a young lady who was afterwards found to be a daughter of Rev. Dr. Rogers, the pastor, who had officiated at the funeral service of Mr. Lockwood, got on the train, but the car doors being locked, she was compelled to remain on the platform while the train was crossing the bridge, the wind in the meantime blowing fiercely. When about half way across the bridge, Miss Rogers either fell off or was blown off the train and received injuries which will likely prove fatal. The train was stopped and she was conveyed to a hotel, where she still remained last night in an unconscious condition.

[Condensed from Associated Press Report.] CONGRESSIONAL.

... .. '-senate. Miscellaneous business of no general interest was transacted.

The question of the sale of arms to France again coming up, the following remarks were made:

Mr. Wright said the greater part of the session had been spent in mere political debate. He then proceeded to give his reasons why he would uot vote for amnesty, either universal or general.

Passing to the pending resolution, he said that whatever others might do he would not note for it with or without the preamble, because the discussion had shown beyond all question that there was no warrant whatever for an investigation. He believed it had been demonstrated beyond all doubt that there was absolutely nothing to throw the least suspicion on the nation or its officials. This was au era of investigations, and he would always vote for proper investigation for legitimate purposes, but be would uot vote for this investigation, because he believed it was neither for the interests of the country at large nor for the protection of the rights of any of the citizens of this country. In its iaain purpose this measure would certainly fail, for the people had already decided that Gen. Grant should accept the Presidential chair for another term.

Mr. West followed, taking similar grounds. Referring to the Missouri Liberal Republican Platform, he said of the resolutions composing it that they were not inconsistent with Republican principles, and therefore there was no reason why any Republican should leave his party for the sake of them.

Mr. Schurz said he wanted to say a few words in reply to Mr. Frelinghuysen's remarks yesterday. That Senator had said that if this was not a question of a violation of the neutrality laws it was nothing, and had seemed to imply that he (Schurz) and#Mr. Sumner had been engaged in tryingto make up a case for Germany.

Mr. Frelinghiiysen said he had not impugned the motives of the Senators. He had merely spoken of the effects of their acts. He would not say that of the Senators, but he would say that the measure was unpatriotic.

Mr. Schurz said he was glad to see that the Senator did not mean to impute to himself or to Mr. Sumner any designs, sympathies or interests that were not purely American. Mr. Schurz then contended the resolution was not meant for Germany. The case as it stood was emphatically our business, and not Germany's. As to our relations with foreign powers, the only way mischief could come out of this matter was by wantonly undertaking to defend a false position, and if any of our officials have wantonly betrayed us into such a pOsi4ion, it was our manifest interest to disavow their action, and to take steps that we could honorably andUsSafely defend.

At this point Mr. Schurz gave notice that he would move to amend the resolution so as to direct the committee. to inquire also whether breech-loaders and Other muskets capable of being transformed into breech-leaders, Were sold in such quantities as to seriously impair the defensive capacity of the country.

The discussion then drifted into the New York general order business, which was debated at length by Messrs. Schurz, Harlan and Sherman.

Mr. Schurz finally said: "It has been said that I am going over to the Democracy. Let me set attest the souls of those who make that suggestion. I shall not go over to the Democrats. I have never thought of going over to the. Democrats, and I do not think of it now but what I do think is this, that there will be an opportunity of opposing the re-election of the President without voting for a Democratic candidate. I think there will be an opportunity for voting for as good a Republican as there is on this floor, without voting for General Grant." [Applause in the galleries.]

The presiding officer directed the Ser-geant-at-Arms to arrest the persons Who applauded.

The people, he said, were gratefifl to General Grant for the capture of Vicksburg and other places, but they were still more thankful that Vicksburg and those places wore no longer to becaptured, and what they wanted now was ajree, honest and pure government.

Mr. Freelinghuysen briefly replied. He disclaimed any attempt to arouse native American prejudices, and denounced, this as the first attempt to mrfke the American Senate take ground against the honor of our own country.

Messm. Edmunds and Conkling discussed Mr. Trumbull's motion to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Conkling's amendment was adopted, and insisted that Mr. Schurz bad admitted that he had held unauthorized communication with an agent of a, foreign power,

Mr. Sumner obtained the floor for the purpose of reviewing fhe whole question: but said he would prefer not to proceed to-day, and moved to adjourn.

The Senate, without reacting a vote, adjourned! Petitions were* presented from the Pennsylvania hiiners remonstrating against the reductiojpof the duty on coal and iron, and from efifzens of Harrisburg for the repeal of the duties on tea and coffee.
