Additional Local tfews.

THE sale of reserved seats to the Moultou concert, of Tuesday evening, com menced at the bookstore of O. Bartlett & Co., East Main street, this morning, quite a lively rush being made, judging from the diagram. Better be in haste if you expect to get a good seat.

A COTEMPORARY publishes a lengthy article under the caption of Henry Clay on the Pacific Railroad. If this eloquent statesman was ever on the Pacific Railroad, the veracious chroniclers of history are very mijch in error as they recorded his death many years since. Probably he was there in his spiritualistic capacity.

"LIES and Liars" is the gigantic subject of the Rev. Dr. Bayless, a popular Indianapolis pastor, for to-morrow evening. The People's correspondent, who slandered the M. E. Church of that city, recently, has not been invited to occupy a reserved seat—in the vestibule. He will be allowed to sit on the gate post.

MADISON wants an Opera House. Terre Haute has one to sell, and we might be induced to sell an interest in ours.— N. Ledger.

Terre Haute has no Opera Haute for sale, but she would like very much to purchase some flrst-class operatic and dramatic entertainments for a.reasonable consideration.

WE are informed that the distance from Indianapolis to St. Louis by the proposed Indiana fe Illinois Central Railroad will be three miles less than by either of the Terre Haute lines.—Bockville Patriot.

Three miles are nothiug in comparison with the great length of time in the future that even the most sanguine friends of this proposed line can hope to see this, their fondest dream, realized, viz.: the construction and equipment of the Indiaha & Illinois Central Railroad.

A GIGANTIC, stupendous and mammoth sensation is in store for the press of the civilized world from this "city. The fiery, untamed juveniles of our public schools are on the eve of a sanguinary civil war. All because the young Americans and young Fenians cannot amicably adjust the "Bible on the public school question?" Au effort is on foot to have the differences arbitratrated by the Geneva arbitrators.

THETerre Haute & Chicago Railroad, under the immediate management of the efficient President, Collett, and his able and experienced Superintendent, Nesbett, is in a most prosperous condition in all its departments. Freights are being shipped over this popular line by day and by night, block coal being a very large percentage of the freight sent over the line. This lYfrom the Clay county mines, and is shipped to this city by the Vandalia, thence north.

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.—The Western Indiana Railway Company yesterday filed articles of association in the office of the Secretary of State. The proposed line extends from Brazil, Clay county, through Park and Fountain counties to a point on the Illinois State line about ten miles southeast of Rossville, Illinois, a distance of about seventy miles. Covington, Fountain county, and Montezuma, in Parke county, are objective points of the survery. The directors of the company are Edward Walker, J. S. Campbell, C. B. Mansfield, C. Greenwood and Joseph E. Young, and $50,000 has been subscribed to the capital stock.

SHOPPSRS FROM ABROAD.—Hon. Hiram A. Beckwitb, of Danville, Ills., accompanied by his acomplished wife, was in the city yesterday, and did a large amount of shopping, the completion of the Terre Haute, Danville A Chi vgo railroad furnishing them the facilities of travel to this city where they can do their shopping to their interest and also the interest of our merchants. Mr. Beckwith is one of the leading members 7 of the Vermillion Bar of Illinois, is a gentleman of rare mental capacity and legal lore, has many friends, and a most prosperous business practice. He does much of the legal business of the Terre

Haute & Chicago R. R.

THE OLD AND NEW.—The Revolution has again proven itself but a feeble insurrection and has subsided for the second time, as we learn, under feminine •. management. It died in giving birth to an infant prodigy to be entitled the New

Itmes. Those who have taken the Revolution in this city will make a note of this and^end for the New Times. Miss Laura Keeneand another actress, one of the Webb Sisters, will edit the new venturf, we understand. Both are well known in the dramatic if not in the literary world. Fifty cents is the modest price per number which will be asked of those who purchase the new publication.

Business.

Those mammoth "Fairbanks Scales, capable of weighing Fouts' huge "Wa bash pets," deserve notoriety. If the enterprising agent will furnish us an order, with the necessary details of their capacity, prices, etc., we will endeavor to "elevate" the ccales in public esti mation.

Our friend Allen, of furniture fame, at 18 and 20 South Fourth street, justly deserves all the notoriety and popularity which printer's ink can impart. In ac cordance with a liberal invitation from Mr. Dickout, we present below the details of another.brauch of industry.

THE TRUKK TRADE.—Iu recording, as we cheerfully do, our sincere conviction, that the Trunk Manufactory of Mr. V. G. Dickhont, at 196 Main street, is not excelled, is equalled in vari ety of style, orquality of workmanship in the State, we but express our gratification at another euidence of the triumph of

home

skill and domestic industry in

our city. The basement of their building at No. 196 is used exclusively as a manufactory, and is their main workshop. On the first floor is the well filled salesroom, while above all is a finishing and storing department. As one of their specialties, you have but to inspect their famous sole-leather trunks, embracing all the modern improvements, and finished in fine style, both for ladies and gentle men's use. This elegant stock also embraces the modern styles of trunks, valises, traveling bags and satchels in great variety also trunk, shawl and tourists' strap", etc. The proprietor is an experienced business man, has worked at this business 17 years, about half of that time at Indianapolis, and refers to Mr. Gallup, the agent of "Fairbanks' scales" there, for the durable quality of his work, as he is furnishing them his sole leather cases, by contract, for $16,00, which are. warranted to stand 9 years use by their agents. If they stand half that time with the professional "baggage smasher" at railway depots, they must be lightening proof. But rough usage or gentle, from Fairbanks' agents, or the professionals, neither ruins the business, or reputation of this house, as their trunks and cases are manufactured for rough usage. A moment's conversation with Mr. D. will convince any one that the proprietor is an energetic, wideawake business man, and ready with his business facilities, and corps of experienced workmen, to compete with any part of the country, east or west, in the manufacture of substantial work in the trun-k line. Nine different styles of gentlemen!s traveling trunks, and an equal variety of ladies' trunks are here manufactured. To suit every variety of taste and purse, this establishment will furnish you trunks varying in price, style and quality, from $1.00 to $200 cash. Success attend this enterprise. As a cheerful and liberal patroa of the printer, and standing, as does Mr. D., at the head of his business in the State, we confidently commend him to the notice and combined patronage, both wholesale and retail, of the residents of Indiana and Illinois.

Mrs. Moultoii's Concerts.

Of course you are making your arrangements to attend the Moulton concerts at the grand Opera House next week. From what we have heard everybody must contemplate attending. Everybody should attend, for from the enthusiastic press notices of this divine American musician, and information obtained from reliable private sources we are led to the conclusion that the entertainment under consideration will be of the highest order of music.

The Cincinnati Commercial• says that "the appearance of Mrs. Charles Moulton in a grand concert at Pike's Opera House, this evening, is justly regarded, in the light of full intelligence regarding her career and reputation, as one of the mort attractive and interesting events of this most musical of seasons. When she was the youthful Lillie Greenough, in her Boston home, the extraordinary natural beauty and sympathetic qualities of her voice made an impression such as no one can hope for who is not of the chosen few blessed with a superlative talent. Mrs. Moulton has had ia Europe, where she was also recognized as the belle of beautiful Americans, a musical culture of the highest and most thorough character. Her appearance in the field as a professional singer, so often urged by composers, teachers and admiring frieuds, has been made this year With a degree of success that is not only brilliant, but equal to that which has attended the coming* of any of the more widely celebrated songstresses. The concert of this evening and a matinee to-morrow embrace the only opportunities that will be given Cincinnatians to hear the prima donna of American production. Mrs. Moulton will sing to-night the following selections: 'Bel Raggin,' from Rossini 'Tender and True,' song by Pease 'La Cappriciosa,' by Blumenthal, and in a duo from 'Crispinoe la Comare.' Of her voice, a mezzosoprano, a critic says: 'For purity of intonation, exquisite delicacy of nuances, and the rare power of conveying by phrases or single notes the most spiritual shade of meaniug, we accord to it the superiority which .Rossini so well epitomized when he exclaimed after hearing her, 'It is the voice that sings to me in my imagination when I am composing.' Mrs.- Moulton will be ably supported to-night by Mr. Wehli, Mr.

Brookhouse Bowler, Signor Fossatti and Mr, George W. Colby."

PERSONAL.—Senator Morton is expected at Indianapolis at 5:30 P. M., today, direct from Washington via PanHandle R. R. "Snacks," of the Indianapolis Sentinel, having Incurred the bitter disjdeasure of a mammoth Teuton butcher, tias employed a "sub," and is visiting at Danville for his health.

Hon. W. B. Tuell, President of the *7f

-J"--"'

T. H. & S. W. R. R., returned home from Springfield last evening. Several days since we announced the severe illness of Judge Shaw, of Olney, Illinois. The day we made the announcement, his family telegraphed for his two beautiful and interesting daughters to come home from St. Mary's at once. They did so, and when they arrived and had been there but a short time, it was discovered that their father was afflicted with the small-pox. The Judge is doing well, but serious fears and apprehensions are entertained of the safety of the daughters, as they have been exposed to the malady.

Mr. Daniels, of Roekvilie, is in the city to-day. W. F. Scheullerman, late chief clerk at W. S. Ryce'S Buckeye Cash Store, has retired from that position, and left for his home in Philadelphia last evening". He will probably take a position in a wholesale house in New York City.

A YOUTHFUL Caseyite has been reading "What I Know About Farming," by H. Greeley, Esq., and devoting a part of his spare time to injudiciously courting a Casey girl. This resulted in the father of the girl giving him an unexpected call, flourishing a navy revolver in one hand and a white intimate garment, the property of his daughter, in the other, demanding the 'youth topay him $1000 cash, or marry the girl. The youth was "cornered," but give leg bail and escaped. He finds that the valuable information he got from the great agriculturists of the Tribune very necessary to his future welfare. He has gone West to grow up with the country.

For the Evening Gazette.

The Gordian Knot Untied.

The lecture delivered last evening before the "Eclectic Literary Society" and Debating Club, of the Normal School, by Prof. L. H. Jones, of the same, was certainly an excellent production, embodying mucfi thought, bespeaking much culture and observation, an,d delivered in a style appropriate to the occasion and the subject.* The articulation and pronunciation were certainly the most beautiful and correct of any that we have beard of late, to say the least, not excepting even that of our most popular lecturers.

It was regretted by the societies that, owing to a misunderstanding, the lecture was not more extensively advertised that the public might have had the advantage of instructions in the mysteries of untying the Gordian Knot, rather than cut, as is~done by our present forcing, hot-bed system of education. Doubtless in imitation of the hot-blooded conquerer of nation of olden times, Alexander. By pictures, true to life, the Professor clearly demonstrated that true education is growth and development, both of which require time, perseverance and industry.

A STUDENT.

For the Evening Gazette-

THAT PUBLIC BABY AGAIN.

A Lady's Opinion of This and Other Public Calamities. I was much amused at the attack on that inevitable Public Baby, and equally well entertained by the Very earnest reply of "Charity."

A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind," and from the touching tone of the plea for the poor infant I cannot but think that "Charity" must have a Public Baby of his own. (Don't misunderstand me.)

Now, as I am not "a bachelor past the meridian," but a lady, young and married, I think I may be permitted to say something about th*s cr»/ing evil we have all had to endure at sometime in our lives.

In the first place, if I understand Mr. Mulford right, his complaint is not against babies in general, but only against Public Babies. So we will not jause at the nursery, the place where babies ought to be and where nobody denies their right to eat molasses caudy, squall or do anything else their babyships choose, but proceed at once to said babies where they appear in public. 'Charity" grows pathetic and informs us that all babies elicit his sympathy because he was once a baby. If "Charity" saw a boy stealing apples his heart would warm with sympathy because he was once a boy. Does it follow that because all people were once babies they were all carried around to distract public audiences? Let us rather hope that a few of us, at least, were blessed with parents who were sensible enough to know that although their babies' shrillest squalls were the sweetest music to their ears, other people might haye a different appreciation.

Then Charity waxes wroth, and asksr if only poor people have children. Certainly not, but I feel safe in saying that people of cultivation and refinement, (not necessarily of wealth) no not take their babies to places of public amusement.' ^bies have no business at a theater, concert or lecture. If the parents are not able to employ a nurse at home, let one of the neighbors care for the child an hour or two.

Nor have babies any right at church, as they are too young for the Gospel to make an impression. One of the most eloquent ministers I ever heard, said to me, "I cannot preach if there is a noisy baby in the hoifee, but of tne two evils, I would much rather have the child cry than have the motiier trot it."

Babies in a railroad car are unavoidable, but can't they be fed on oranges and apples instead of molasses candy and cake? The effect would be so much pleasanter externally, and could not be worse internally. And after the little angel takes milk, murt it be churned into butter?

Let* no one think I blame the babies for squalling, but I do wish Bergh would take charge of the mothers.

Before I close, let me ask Prentice Mulford one question. Are there no Public Lovers on your train? Or do the babies absorb all your atteution, and the Lovers escape your notice

They wear mohair curls and frosted mustaches. They also wear a last year's bat, trimmed in faded roses, and a large blue neck-tie. They sigh, they kiss, they squeeze, with such sublime contempt of all scornful or mirthful glanees from the passengers. Sometimes they sing, and then you turn with relief to the screaming baby.)

When we abolish Public Babies, O Mr. Mulford, what shall we do with Public Lovers? MRS. MINESTBEX*.

Terre Hante, March 2, 1872.

FERNANDO WOOD, in a speech in Congress, on Thursday, on civil service reform, said the time would soon come when throughout the country the universal watchword will be "Universal Purification." "Beginning at New York," he should have added.

LONDON, March 2—The excitement over the assault on the Queen, is subsid ing. It is generally believed that O'Conner is crack-brained, as strict inquiry fails to roveal the existence of the organ ized plot or accomplices. An extraordinary character of the documents leads to the.firm belief that the attack was purely the result of mental derangement.

NEW YORK, March 2.—The Tribune's special, from Washington, says the President and Cabinet are understood to feel hopeful that unless some political excitement arises in England between now and the meeting of the Geneva Conference, the questions in dispute will be allowed to go there and the treaty will be sustained.

The fact that no protest against our case was made for so many months after it was in the hands of the English Government, and that the excitement arose just as Parliament was meeting and subsided when the vote testing the strength of the parties had been taken, convinces our Government that the whole proceeding was a political necessity on the part of the Gladstone Ministry, and that it will be so anxious to find its way out of the trouble that it will be successful.

NEW YORK, March 2.—Comptroller Greene yesterday paid $100,000 to the Department of Public Works to pay laborers employed in that department. He will to-day pay the salaries to the teachers of the evening schools^ for the months of October, November and December last, amounting to over $52,000, also painters of public lamps and lamp posts, for eight months, prior to last Januaiy, amounting to nearly $10,000.

Delegates from various Irish societies met last night and decided to celebrate St. Patricks day. by parade, on Monday, March lOtb

A moiton wiis made and to extend an invitation to the colored societies of the city. The Poliee Commissioners have offered an escort, and the Mayor has consented to review the procession. The route of the procession having been agreed on, the meeting adjourned.

One of the most adroit forgers in the country, and who has on several occasions victimized banks and banking firms, was captured by detectives yesterday. Hn

His last transaction was "an attempt to victimize Jay Cooke, of bonds to the amount of $130,000, with which firm he concluded arrangements for the purchase of bonds to that amount, but owing to the shrewdness of the detectives, the firm was made aware of the intention of fraud. After four weeks search, the detectives yesterday succeeded in capturing a man calling himself Mr. Kenney, who has been recognized by Jay Cooke & Co., as the person who negotiated with them for the purchase of the bonds.

Had it not been for the detectives, he would no doubt have succeeded, as his plans of operations were well laid. He will be arraigned for trial this A. M. When arrested, he went under the cognomen of Barclay.

WASHINGTON, March 2,—A fearful storm fell since daylight, afoot deep,and still snowing heavily.

LOUISVILLE, March 2.—The steamer Falls City collided with the tow-boat Garrett, at the foot of Sand Island, last night,. between eleven and twelve o'clock The Falls City had a full cargo of freight and passeugers. The collision is supposed to have been occasioned by the mismanagement of the Garrett.

The Falls City took fire and burned to the wafers edge. Insurance on the boat $8,000 cargo entirely lost. The. passengers lost most of their .clothing, and all of their baggage. They had to remain on Sand Island until the New Albany ferry boat came to their assistance and landed them on the Kentucky shore.

The boat belonged to the Green & Barrow River Navigation Company. The loss and insurance on the freight is not-known. Two of the crew are missing. The boat was commanded 'by Captain Robinson.

CHICAGO, March 2.—The policy holders of the Garden City Insurance Companies, held a meeting last night to try to get a settlement of their claims. The Secretary reported the losses at $1,500,000 nominal capital, $200,000 but available assets less than $115,000. Many of the stockholders lost everything, and can't pay the assessmen ts. The policy holders will get but a few cents on the dollar.. The meeting appointed a committee to takei the action.

It is .snowing briskly this morning. COUNCIE BLUFFS, March 2.—Great activity is. displayed in hurrying the great bridge to completion, in which there.has been some delay through the failure to receive timber from the lumber regions of Wisconsin. A large trafic is being done over the pile bridge and no delay occurs to freights or passengers here or on the Union Pacific Railroad.

From the Brazil Miner.

Brazil in the Future.

Shalispeare says that wine is a provoker of three things—aud one of those things is sleep. I found it to be true when I had returned from the C. & T. H. R. R. excursion, but a liberal supply of the viands furnished by mine host of the Rigby made my rest somewhat troubled, and as I slept I dreamed a dream.

I left the great city of St. Louis in 1885 for Brazil, Indiana. Seated in a magnificent palace car, my attention was constantly absorbed by the great beauty and wealth ot the country over which we gently glided. Elegant cottages, amid groves, gardens, orchards and vineyards, had changed what I remembered as a wide monotonous prairie into a moving panorama of Paradise* At last there arose upon our view a great cloud of smoke, such as the traveler beholds from the hill-tops as he nears the city of Pittsburg. "Where are we?" said I to the conductor. "At Mattoon," said he, "and that smoke arises from Terre Haute, fifty miles distant, where they mannfaeture steel, and iron, and glass, to be used on both sides of the globe."

Still on we glided until at a sudden stop the call "St. Marys" greeted us. Here the truth burst upon us. All around us was the roar of machinery, the hiss of steam, the glow of furnaces and dense columns of smoke, huge caldrons filied with boiling steel, sending up moiton showers to fall like burniugsnow. "Here we are," said the conductor, "on the edge of the great city." And thus it proved to be. Henceforward we passed through, a terrific chorus of industry—the heavy thud of the trip-hammer aud the click of the workshop, mingled with the trampling of crowds upon the streets and the tumultuous voice of the .multitude. In vain I looked for the old familiar town. We crossed the Wabash, expecting to see its neat cottages spread over the prairie as of old, but there stood a grand city. The weak idler, the bloated loafer, the listless palefaced group of overdressed maidens were all gone and I was jostled on all sides by a living, moving, thinking, working people.

We returned to the depot, appalled and confused, and were about getting aboard of an express train when we were asked, "When arft von coinc. sir?" "Brazil."

Where* are you going, sir?" "Brazil, was my confident reply. "We don't stop there, sir. You must wait for the 'accommodation.'"

y-nv

"Accommodation!" thought I.^'Has Brazil become a 'flag station?' and I returned to the passengers' room and sank upon a seat to rest my reeling brain.

But at last our accoMMocIatiou started and we with it and, after stopping at about twenty coal mines to unload passengers and provisions, we heard the welcome call, 'Brazil.' We stepped on the platform to greet our old friends but they were not there. A few dirty Chinamen loitered here and there aud winked at us their almond eyes.

A venerable man, all solitary, approached us as the train moved away, and we ventured to ask him if he lived here. He winked and gently moved his ears and said: "I am the oldest inhabitant." He lifted up a small mail bag which appeared to have nothing in it, and feebly walked away. I walked near him noticing that the streets were overspread wixh an enormous growth of dogfennel. The houses tottering and mosscovered, and all things wearing a look of desolation, with here and there a Chinaman baaking in the sunshine. Jtfy thoughts became- confused, and I asked my venerable friend if the Japanese Embassy were visiting the Brazil miners. "Brazil has rfo mines," he said. "A sudden demand for coal to make iron caused them to be worked out and abandoned years ago. The operators became rich and removed to the cities, trade ceased and the people either sold their property for a trifle or abandoned it and went where they could make a living. These people are not Japanese. They are Chinamen driven from the mines by white laborers to drag out life here as best they may.

I §aid Brazil, once had a fair name. "Yes," he replied. "There is a tide in the affairs of men that taken at the flood leads on to fortunp. Brazil let ln#r%pportunity slip aud all is lost."

By this time we had reached the corner of Meridian and Mai tf, and Seeing two large candles burning upon the steps of the bank, I asked my friend what it meant. "That building is now "a Joss, house, where the heathen offer worship and sacrifices to their idols." "And is there no other religion here?" "Yes—a missionary who belongs to all churches, preaches atKnightsville, Brazil,Newburg and Stanton but he has few hearers and no churches. I asked, what has become 6f Bryson & Kerfoot, across the way?" "They are the great iron-masters of Terre Haute, and are now furnishing steel rails for the Alaska A Cuba Railroad. They have the whole contract."

We crossed Main and walked east. All was tumble down desolation. In front of Turner's Hall stood one who looked like an old citizen. He was trying to perpetrate a "sell" on a poor Chinaman about a "Scotch pig." Fortunately the Chinaman could not understand a word hesaid.

Looking south I perceived a great cloud of smoke overhanging th« country, and asked what it meant. "That is the city

of Tubal

Cain, named after the father of

all these who work in brass and iron. It is the rival of Terre Haute, situated on Eel river, and in the center of the coal field. It has many railroads and immense manufactures. It was at first proposed to iOfteggeiner.but the name

"j£

was afterwards abandoned as not being sufficiently comprehensive." "Where," said I, "are all our trades men, merchants, etc.?" "They irn proved their opportunity, became the possessors of comfortable fortuues, and are carrying on enlarged business in the adjoining cities." "How far seeing are these business men," I replied. "Those men sold beef, ham, potatoes and provisions generally at prices that plainly said: "The time is short." "Make hay while the sun shines." "It took money to live here then." "But what of the saloon keepers?" "They, too, did well. They got money, and became influential through their ill-gotten gaius. Some of them are very pious gentlemen, holding prominent positions iu fashion&ble churches, and most of them now deliver an occasional temperance lecture, but their patrons are in drunkard's graves."

Again I looked about on the old, desolate, quiet town. Its wooden buildings quietly rotting away, and no sound of hammer or axe, or even the rumbling of a wheel, in all its streets. The stillness was painful. "After life's fitful fever he sleeps well," I thought, for this is certainly the sleep of death. And then I recalled the days when Brazil's best men— her true men—urged upon her people the expenditure of a little money tnat would have secured for her a bright pre-emi-menfce among her many rivals. The day when her fame was so fair and her prospects so bright. The day when "Have something more, sir?" I started, and there was Rigby, himself, urging upon me still, those good things of which I had already partaken too freely.
