THE Terre Haute Horticultural Society meets at the residence of Cory Barbour, Esq., at ten o'clock A. M. Thursday, the 4th inst.

IF you fail to read Crawf. Scott's special literary productions in our local notice columns of this issue, you will miss a good thing that you will.

WE publish, to-day, a very interesting letter from the descriptive pen of the accomplished, vivacious and brilliant lady, Mrs. Cora Donnelly Gookins, formerly of this city, but now traveling in Europe. Don't fail to read it.

THE JefFersonville reporter of the Louisville Courier-Journal says "Aud now comes a report that the car works are not going to be rebuilt here, or anywhere else, but withdraw their capital invested, divide their surplus, and quit business."

MESSRS. DEWEY & WHIPPLE are engaged in getting us a city directory, to be printed on a card, to be districuted to the towns tributary to this city, also placed in hotel and railroad offices. Our business men will do well to see that theii names appear on it.

IS with pleasure we note the efficient services of Commissioner Voorhees and his workmen who are now putting Main street in splendid order. Mr. Voorhees is doing his whole duty, and doing all for our streets, so far as he has the power confided in him by the city authorities.

ANTICIPATED BUSINESS.—"WestEnders," including wholesale and retail dejxlera and manufacturers, are looking for lively times, on the completion of the Terre Hau»e & Cincinnati Railroad up First street, if the company decide to construct their road along this thoroughfare.

IT is sfiid that the family of George H. Knapp, of the Orangecounty Union, who, it is alleged,is non est, with an indefinitely stated amount of money belonging to Uncle Sam's postoffice, has dispatched to liis family from New Orleans, that he "can be found," and that he is to return Jiome very soon.

PARTIES from Paris, Illinois, were in the^city yesterday, looking up an enterprising though nocturnal horse dealer, who had purchased but forgot to pay for four horses and three mules near that beautiful though afflicted city. The searchers went hence sorrowfully. They didn't find the tradesman.

OF course the Evening GAZETTE readers—which means the general reading public of Terre Haute and vicinity—will bear in mind that the world-renowed Duprez & Benedict's Minstrels will attract crowds to their entertainment at the Opera House to-morrow evening. These boys are well and favorably known here as proficient in the line of their profession. ______

THE most ridiculous and radical case of elongated physiognomy we have seen since the Chicago conflagration, this morning, called at Bartlett & Button's book store, to secure reserve seats to the Ivellogg benefit, vhicb occurs this evening. Seats nearly all sold except in the galleries. Had the possesors of the elongated physiognomy been aware of the fact that the gallery is the best place to listen t6 a concert or operatic singer they might have been spared sueh exerutiating facial expressions.

PERSONAL.—A. V. Lawrence, Esq., well known in the Capital city as a prominent wholesale and retail dealer in groceries, and shipper of eggs, butter poultry, etc., Is in the city, aud favored us with a call. He was cn route to St. Louis on business.

W. S. Ryce, Esq., of the Buckeye Cash Store, will leave the city forNew\ork aud other points immediately after the concert at the graud Opera House. Look out for new goods at the Buckeye.

Mr. Forbes, assistant agent of the Duprez & Beuedict minstrels, is in the city, a g#est of the Terre Haute House.

L. B. Martin, of the Saviugs Bauk, General Cruft, Auditors. Royse, aud other prominent Knights Templar of this city, will go to Indianapolis this evening.

Miss Mollie Steele, daughter of General G. K. Steele, of Rockville, is in the city.

A Commendable Movement. The rtwliiinapolis Sentinel of this morning says: in re in S rior Court,George Carter will move to take the depositions of witnessess in divorce cases who reside in the county, instead of examining them orally in Court. This motion will be made in the hope that, it its legality is sustained, the Court will make it a rule applicable to all cases. II legal the proceedure would be beneficial in this one respect, if no other.^ It would save lady witnesses the mortification and embarrassment of being compelled to testify in open court upon delicate matters.

This certainly will be an improvement over the general rule of law which requires, when accessible or practicable, the presence of such witnesses to testify in open court to mo- disgusting details of scandal which ikes the souls of even gossipping women shrink within them, being stared in the fuce by a gaping crowd of dissipated loafers aud scandal mongers of the most nauseating type. H(Avever much women like to gossip about their feminine neighbors at the tea table or in the private social circle, they almost invariably shrink from telling what they know or claim to know in open court in a case of divorce. While the general rule of law as now practiced in our courts, compelling women to testify to such details in court may serve as a lesson to many busy bodies to abstain from gossip, the great majority of women are placed in a most undeserved position thereby. To ladies who detest gossip and shun gossippers, such rule as now prevails,in this respect in Indiana courts, do great injustice aud wrong most foul. And really, this class of ladies is much larger than many think or pretend to think. However this may be, it would be far better that ninety-nine chronic gossippers escape such a legal examination and cross examination in court, as they are subjected to when testifying in a divorce suit, than that one modest and discreet lady should be subjected to such an imposition as imposed by the law as it is now dealt out by unfeeling attorneys in many instances, who take advantage of their legal priviliges to bring to the cheeks of a modest woman the blush of outraged .modesty, and the heart-pangs of injured innocence, in the presence of an unfeeling court of blackguards, who hang around our court houses. By taking depositions in such cases, none but the attorneys, notaries, and possibly stenographers need be present. We think this movement of Mr. Carter a commendable one, and wish him success.

EIGHTY-TWO impecunious and other individuals enjoyed the hospitalities of Station House Master Superintendent Smith during the month just closed.

European Correspodence. MUNICH, BAVARIA, February 25, 1872.

Just before Christmas

the head,of one of the large firms here (the royal establishment) invited us a number of times to come and see their display of Christmas goods. Finally, the day before Christmas we went. .The room in which the display was, seemed to be at the very top of the house—in the garret I should say—judging from the number of stairs we mounted. We were preceded by a young woman, as a guide, and as bearer of the key that unlocked the portal of the fairy regions. My first sensation when the door was opened was faintness, fir a most powerful odor of burning pastiles seemed to pervade the atmosphere. The windows were closed and the room brilliantly lighted with lamps. My first impressions were of sunset—lightniug—Roman sashes—and a flower garden. For there were marvelous clouds of rose-colored and silvery white tarleton,with zig-zagdaslies of gold and silver through them, strikingly like flashes of lightning, and pure white tulle covered with little silver flecks, that glittered and shivered like new fallen snow. And they were ball dresses, but I wondered how it was possible such cobweb material could be formed into anything as tangible as ball robes, save by the waud of some amiable fairy god-mother, four beautiful robes of white tarleton, richly embroidered in chenile, one in blue, one rose, one green and the other cherry. Exquisite satin, lace, silk fans, French flowers, Roman sashes, and enameled flower jewelry made up the gorgeous mass of color.

At the extreme end of the room, in strong contrast to the moonshine, were the rich, substantial Oriental goods.India shawls, tiny crepe mantles, solid with embroidery, fragrant with sandal wood, costly with lace a cashmere opera cloak, wonderfully embroidered in wool, a thing to go into extacies over, as it bore, beyond a dispute, the mark of its faroff birth-place. The fastenings at the throat were massive-autique silver clasps. Altogether it was very yellow, very coarse, and very expensive. Many rich silk robes, madefup the Christmas scene.

The proprietor coming in just as we were leaving, a short, heavy built man, with a rich yellow skin, iron grey hair, long grey beard, "and his eyes how they twinkled," made a most suitable Kris Kingle. I saw one of the King's presents. The confectioner wear us bad it on the day before Christmas

wasin there. It

was, in shape and size, an exact copy of the foot-stool in our parlor at home, but made of therichest white satin, elegantly and elaborately ornamented with the

royal

coat of arms, in crimson and gold. When I saw it, I thought it was a very rich foot-stool, but it seems it was a bonbon

box,

that some admiring soul was

to present full of sweets, to Louis the Good. The King passed here yesterday, elegautly dressed iu his uniform, white plume, &c., with blue and silver liveries. I send you a sketch of the King as he rides through the English garden. First you see the ayaunt courier, dressed in top boots, white knee-breeches, blue coat, with scarlet trimmings. Then come the four bay horses aud out riders, with the big coachman, dressed in blue, the blue carriage fthe every day carriage not the Sunday or state coach.) Two lackeys at the back, dressed in green—black velvet caps, with large white feathers. Another out-rider brings up the rear. The out-riders shout and yell, the people pull off their hats, and the dirty little boys howl '-Der koenig komt!" The sparks fly from the horses' feet, as the scarlet and blue, silver and gold, flash past, and in an instant only a cloud of dust remains.

Christmas afternoon we took a walk, and in our wanderings through the old and qutj it parts of the city, we came across an interesting building—a large

AUTE

grocery store, bearing an immense bronze medal ion stating that, in that house, iu the corner room, Mozart wrote his opera of "Idomte," and to-day we came across the wonderful place.

Going down a picturesque side street and under an old stone archway, then passing through an immense doorway, we came into an old court yard belonging to the mint. The building forms a square —on three sides are stone corridors, arched in great massive stone, uuder the centre arch hangs a quaint clock, in oue of the arches a sun dial—the whole bearing the appearance of having stood there hundreds' of years. As we stood contemplating it, the clock struck five. Immediately, all over the building, bells began to chime iu a 'most peculiar manner, lending an additional charm to the quaintuess of the great building, and carrying one's imagination back to the age when they were first fashioned.

Christmas eve, with several friefids, we attended midnight mass, expecting a musical treat in the "Frauen Kirche." Very singular it seemed in that vast cathedral, with its grand vaulted roof, the alter brilliantly lighted, all the high priests in full robes marching in and out but the vastness of the church almost wraped it in total darkness. Though it was crowed to overflowing, and every woman carried a burning wax taper, so immense is the church they seemed as a few dim stars in a universe of darkness. The stone floor was bitterly cold, and from some place the cold wind came whizzing through the cathedral, striking cold through and through one. Before the sixteen or eighteen altars, and along the aisles many were burning red and amber censors. The music did not amount to anything, consequently we did not remain long. We all took cold while there, and are now suffering from the ill effects of being musically enthusiastic.

A short time since we attended the Opera "Rieuzi"—Wagner's first opera— written thirty years ago—and this the first time it was given. When we bought our tickets we were told that General Von Moltke would be there, and we had a capital seat to see him, as it was quite near the royal box. When we arrived, there were no lights in the royal box, no Kiug, no General. All around us, the people were saying, disappointedly: "Where is'the General?" "I (Ton't see him It's too bad!" "We were told he would be here." There seemed to be a general disappointment all around. We were disappointed, although we said nothing.. Some Ameriicans, back of us, complained loudly.

After the second act, I was somewhat startled by some one whispering in my ear. I ntver imagined there $as a soul in the house that I knew, or at least that spoke English, as I then heard it. Looking around I discovered our friend Mr. Healey, who said he had just come to ask me if I had found out Gen. Von Moltke. I expressed great surprise—did not believe ne was here. I saw uniforms of various grades and ranks, many badges, leaions of honor, cordons, crosses, medals, feathers, helmets, &c., &c., but amongst them all, certainly no Von Moltke.

Mr. ri. told me to look right opposite, I would see a person looking this way with a glass and sure enough in plain citizen's dress, no gloves, his slirt-bosom sticking out like some of one of our Americans, no order, no insiguas, nothing to denote his rank, setting between two (at Duchesses, lookingdirectly at us, was the man that the uninitiated were in such a state of anxiety about.

The opera of Reinzi is nothing in comparison, as far as the music is coucerned, with Wagner's other operas. But the scenery is wonderful, perfectly wonderful. I never saw anything like it. The customs for richness, variety, and quUintness, are beyond description.

First of all, there is Reinzi, the last of the Tribunes, in robes of royal richness then the courtiers in magnificent dress, and the ladies of the court, soldiers, pages, citizens in the Roman dress.

Just imagine some four or five hundred persons at one time on the stage, attired in such a manner, and in the midst Reiuzi and some of his followers on horse back. He was on asupurb white horse that beat time to the music vtfith his foot, throwing up his head in a most sportive manner, and had a way of throwing out his hind feet in a manner that the brave Roman soldiers in spite of their mail armo",sought refuge behind their shields, and the satin clad courtiers—crimson robed and ermined decked grey bearded Senators—fully appreciated the reverence due Reinzi, by paying their homage at a most respectable distance.

One scene is particularly beautiful, the call to war, we hear first the trumpets in the distance, then "they appear, and the mustering of troops takes place on a plaza in Rome, in full view of the collineum the old ruin seen first in broad day-light. The scene of preparation for war is afterwards seen in the soft and bedewed light of twilight a second scene occurs, and so on. Throughout all the acts, the scenery is wonderful.

Another scene—Reinzi and his sister and court, are about to enter the cathedral, and are waiting on the steps, listening to the music, the. grand notes of the organ, and the chanting of the choristers. It was almost impossible for me to believe that the representation before me was not a real cathedral, with its wonderful cairvings and stainings, and that the music came from some far off, secluded nook of this vast cathedral it had such a dim, faint echoing sound, as though caught up aud resounded through lofty domes aud arches. Just as they were about to enter, the music ceased. The vast doors were suddenly thrown open and the Pope followed by all the Sacramental officials, choristers, Ac., appearing upon the threshold and pronouncing excommunication upon them. Away beyond the portals, domes, arches aud paintings could be seen." Then the doors swinging slowly to, soft, solemu music was heard. Machburn as Reinzi *vas very fine.

But the last was the crowning glory of the whole the scene at night, a square of noble Roman .palaces, statues and fountains, the architecture, all in keeping with the sumptuousness and luxury of those days. In the noblest of the palaces, lived Reinzi. The courtiers come with torches before his palace Reinzi appears through an open door on the portico, and greets the crowd. You see through the palace doors the gorgeousness of the interior. Suddenly there is a red, lurid glare of fire, one of the distant palaces is all in flames—then the adjoining palace catches—cannons are booming immediately beyond—Rienzi.and Irene are seen in the hall of their palace—the fire breaks forth in their palace—the portico, Reinzi and Irene the citizens the buildings, the monuments and statues, are one blaze of light red, lurid light. Everything is on fire roofs are falling, floors and columns crashing—music, aud in the caidst of all, the curtain falls. For an histant I supposed it all ail accident, and was quite startled—ready to fly, but perceived 'tbat every one remained seated, and thought it best to do as others did. Immediately there was an immense applause for the three principals. As the curtain arose and they appeared, and I saw not the slightest debris or remains of any kind upon the stage, my fears were quieted. And so ended one of the most magnificent representation I have ever witnessed, C. D. G.

PARIS, April 2.—At the trial of the publishers of the Figaro newspaper today, a great sensation was produced by the evidence of Marshal McMahon, stated that after the severing of the two Wings of the graud army, the march to Losinar was directly against his wishes, and that it was his desire to return to Paris.

The testimony of Marshal McMahan caused a great excitement throughout France. M. Henri Rochefort and assistants and other prominent Communists were dispatched from Cherbourg Saturday last, en route for New Caledonia, in the South Pacific Ocean, where they are sentenced to remain for life. The last farewells between the prisoners and their families were of the most affecting character.

LONDON, April 2.—Earl Dufficin was appointed to succeed Lord Lisgar to the Governship of Canada..

The Hague tri-ceutenary celebration of the anniversary of independence in Holland, yesterday, was a brilliant success. The King, family, Ministers and ex-Minister Motley, of the United States, were present.

MANCHESTER, April 1.—Disraeli arrived yesterday for a three days' stump, aud received an oyation. The carriage was drawn to the hotel by thirty workingmen.

NEW YORK, April 2.—The Connecticut election was not an exciting topic in this city last evening. Telegrams from Gov. Jewell to Collector Arthur and Thomas Murphy were received during the evening and posted up at the rooms of the Union League Club.

The Tribune, commenting on the result of the Connecticut election, this morning, says that the Republicans worked decidedly better in the average for Jewell and his associates on the State ticket, but showed their strength more emphatically in their choice of Representatives, hardly losing one that they had strength to carry. Should it prove that Jewell is not rechosen by the people the new Legislature cannot fail to make his calling and election sure. The Republican majority in either House must .be overwhelming. This secures the reelection to the Senate of Hon. O. S. Ferry, or some other Republican.

The Herald thinks the result of the the Connecticut election will probably prove disastrous to the Cincinnati Convention, and instead of co-operating with the liberal Republicans, the Democratic party may find it more expedient to call

National party convention, as usual, for the nomination of a Democratic Presidential ticket.

The Times feels confident over the result of the election, and states that there is not the slightest indication of any defection from the party on national issues.

The World reviews the result of the .election as a foregone conclusion, and says the Democratic party did not receive the outside support on which it had counted, and thinks the party could have made a better show, had it made no concessions with a view of influencing the liberal Republican vote. It does not, however, consider the position of the Connecticut Democracy as a mistake in view of the Presidential campaign.

Michael Hays, lately arrested, charged with the murder of James O'Donnell, on May 17,1857, will be tried to-day.

The Tammany Society met in secret session last night, Graud Sachem Schell presiding with fifteen members present. The Committee of Seven reported that 53 out of 125 persons elected to membership in January last, were regularly elected. These members include Gen. McClellau, ex-Mayor Havemer and others of similar caliber.

Certain Erie stockholders are said to be preparing statements of some of Gould's transactions, which it is expected will materially assist the efforts of the committee of stockholders to bring to a

Professor Morse was still alive at 1 o'clock A. M. His feeble palsations and occasional faint breathing are the only signs remaining of his life. The physicians are astonished at the endurance of the patient, but agree that he cannot possibly live beyond a few hours.

It is further asserted that Woodward, an accomplice of Garvey, is in the city and under the police surveillance, preparatory to appearing as a witness against his associates iu the ring.

NEW YORK, April 2.—Prof. Morse is still alive. He grows weaker hourly. JackHollister, a noted ruffian, was shot through the head and instantly killed by John Menken, bar-tender,during a quarrel in a liquor saloon to-day. Menken was arrested. JfeMsu/

CINCINNATI, April &—George Deagle, a well known theatrical man of St. Louis, was arrested on a charge of attempt

ing to commit a rape on a girl named Adelia KeH^. After a preliminary examination before a magistrate, he was released on $500 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. He was arrested at the instance of the girl's mother.

Returns of the election are still incomplete. The Democrats, however, elect their entire city ticket by a majority ranging from 2,000 to 7,000.

Indications are that the Democratic Board of Contract in this county is elected by a small majority. The Republicans have a majority of six in the Aldermanic Board. The Democrats have a majority of six iu the Board of Council, making a tie on joint ballot, a sweeping Democratic victory.

CHICAGO, April 2.—As a man, named David Brannan, was going along near Displaines and Carroll streets, about 11 o'clock last night, he was set upon by three young men and two young women and robbed of forty dollars. This is the second case of female robbers in this city in a short time. Their names are M. A. Galvin and Mary Chester.

The colored people met in honor of the Fifteenth Amendment yesterday, and celebrated it with speeches aud rejoicings.

The annual meeting of the Board of Trade was held iu their room in Farwell's building, last night, President Preston in the chair. There were about one hundred members present with the tellers to count the ballots cast at the election. In the afternoon the committee on officers for the eiisuiug year submitted their report and the following named gentlemen wer.e elected:

President, J. W. Preston Vice Presidents, O. E. Calver and W. N. Brainard. Board of Directors—C. J. Davis, W. N* Sturges, J. R. Bensley, W. E. Richardson, B. M. Ford.

Committee on Arbitration—Geo.Field, A. S. Burt, A. Ratkins, A. J. Fisher and H. W. Rogers, Jr.

Committee on Appeals—S. H. McCrea, D. A. Jones, W. H. Goodman, David Keyegh and D. H. Lincoln.

Speeches were called for, and those who were present thanked the members for the honor done them all would discharge their duties to the best of their ability, and hoped to retain as many friends as they had now.

NEW ALBANY, April 2.—Cyrus Shrillman, a prominent merchant of Gosport, Owen county, Indiana, borrowed a gun yesterday, saying that he iutended to kill a cat at nine o'clock. The discharge of a gun was heard in his room, the family and neighbors rushing to "the room they found Shrillman dying, the contents of the gun barrel having passed through his heart. It is not known whether he committed suicide or shot himself by accident.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel of this morning says: Ten flat cars, manufactured at Terre Haute, arrived at Vincennes yesterday morning, for service on the Vincennes fc Cairo road.

The Terre Haute Car Works supply as good an article in their line as can be obtained in the market anywhere on the continent, and it is but right that they should supply the Western market in a large measure. Why not patronize home industries in this regard as in any other? Messrs. Seath & Hager merit all the patronage they can supply.

Attempt at Snicide.

Yesterday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock, as the passenger train of the E. fc C. Railroad was passing out of the city, between- Main and the Bloomington road streets, a man about fifty years of age threw himself on the track in front of the coming train with the evident intention of committing suicide. Fortunately an employe of the road was near at hand, and seeing the act, snatched the wretch from the jaws of death. He stated that disappointment in love was the cause of his attempting the rash act!—Journal.

Yesterday was "all fool's day," and this disappointed lunatic certainly was one of the most inexcusable fools developed during the day, else the Journalv man "bit" and was as badly bitten.
