TERRE HAUTE, IND.

Wednesday Morning, Feb. 28, 1872

Lore and Liwncy.

A young woman residing in a rural portion of this county, who, two years ago, was basely deserted, almost on the threshold of marriage, and whose mental balance was so much disturbed by the occurrence that she has since been regarded as a harmless lunatic, came to our office, yesterday, bringing what was doubtless intended a* a poetical effusion, and tearfully besought us to give it a place in our columns. The reqne«t was followed by a solenmn assurance that she would be our daily visitor until "the poetry" appeared in the EXPRESS. As a choice of evils, we comply with her entreaty, and give her production without the change of a word, though not without serious apprehensions of unpleasant consequences should this paper fall under the notice of "Zeph" or his "squint eyed" wife. The doggerel runs thus Dospair has struck me through and through Since Zeptmniah said "adiou:" Sinoe he dopartod from my sight My toars have flowed by day and night Through winter's oold, through summer's hent Thesp briny toars have beon my meat-

My griof knows no restraining bounds,— I'vo tall' ofT full forty pounds. Until, at last, these doleful tones Come from a mass of (kin and bones.— Cut off. by fate, f-om all that's dear. What is there left my soul to cheer? Why should I longer linger here? Oh, Zcph I my first and onlv beau. How could you tr«'at your Sally so? How could you cast uiy levo at-ido To go and marry Ann McBride? A squint-eyod girl with turned-up nose, With hair as rod as any rose Or any poony that crows? A girl with laco all blotched and frockled, JVith clumsy ne.-k as badly spocWled, And a mouth-from car to car— A collar to storo lagor boor! Oh, Zeph 1 youv'o boon tho denth of Sally 'Frois such a blow cannot rally. I'm fading, sinking, caving in, And soon shall quit this world of sin, But, oro I loavo to go up higher, 1 want to curso you, Zephaniah, To curse your bones and fiesh and hide, 'To pour my wrath out like a tide.

Or as an avalancho would slido Thu d'ring dowu Alpine mountains' side,— And lot it on his head abide i\Vho jilted me for Ann McBrido.— May pi'ace forsxke your hearth and home, •May sorrow to your fireside come. May your girl baby and its brother •J3e pictures ufthoir squ'nt-eyed mother. May you bo dropped trorn good men's prayers

May all rour hash bo full of hairs May all your wheat turn into tares May your feet trip in bid men's snares. And may thoy «a«ch you unawares Rushintr headlong into their lairs. May every button fly your shirt. May all you starch be streaked with dirt When your soul thirsts for music sweet. May ivern gongs yonr long ears greet. May art jour sad soul cease to charm. And poetry yiold you no balm May your pervort'-d tn*to fiud charming In Greeley's "What I know of Karmiug." At night, when you lie down to sleep. May eighbors' dogs kill all your sheep: May horrid fanci-s fill your head May demons rally round your bed. May elephants s«u»t on jour breast And snakes coil round your wri hing chest May each car hold a hornet nest. And when these hurrors murder sleep, May you awake to gronn and weep In dark despair's uiifathomcd deep. This may your wretched hours drag on Until your weary life is done. Ending in abject misery Troubled with constant thought of me.

SrEAKiso of the Hon. Godlove S. Orth, the Journal says: "When we first knew him he was at the bead of the Know Nothing organization in this State, and he has been more or less prominent ever since."

PRENTICE MULFORD'S MALICE.

How a Boor Treats Gentlemen,

Disastrous JSquall of a Baby.

Prentice Mulford, a perverse and crusty old bachelor, paid a visit to our city, a few weeks ago, ostensibly to "write up," for "Lippincott's Magazine," whatever of special interest he might discover in Terre Haute or its surroundings. He was lionized ad libitum, if not ad nauseam. All our "local institutions" were proudly exhibited to his gaze by their respective custodians and self constituted historians. Professors Cox and Foster were engaged to lecture to him on Block Coal and Bessemer Steel. His olfactories were delectated with the odor of our three artesian wells. His ears were not strangers to our Echo. The best coach in the city con

for unstinted expenditure of time, politeness and cash. But, alas for the vanity of human expectations! In an evil hour Prentice Mulford was invited to witness an entertainment at the Opera House, where the Wallace Sisters were playing. He was escorted to the best Feat in the Balcony and surrounded by our best citizens, arrayed, if not "in purple and fine linen," at least in broadcloth, brocade, point lace and diamonds. The play went on delightfully until Fortescue and one of the Sisters commenced that soul-ravishing duet, "If Ever I Cease to Love" Prentice Mulford's head was leaned forward, with ear alert to catch each dulct note, while a smile of ineffable sweetness overspread his austere, but intellectual countenance. Just as the full, rich tones of Fortescue's inimitable, unapproachable, incomparable tenor struck the lines "May Horace Greeley's pants

Do a doable sornt and dance If everl ceasfe to love"— Just at this supreme moment, we repeat, when the ecstacy of the rapturous hour was culminating, the shrill, sharp squawk of a baby filled the hall, drowning seraphic melody as a tubfull of soft soap would extinguish a butterfly. A twinge of pain distorted the face of Prentice Mulford. A half smothered oath escaped bis compressed lips. He seized his hat and cane, rushed to the Terre Haute House, strode up stairs,entered his apartment, slammed and bolted his door, sat down to his table, andjwrote the following article—simply this and nothing more— his first, last and only tribute to Terre Haute:

THF. PUBLIC BABY.

On whatever railroad you travel, on whatever steamboat you find yourself, you find there also the Public Baby. If vou change your car to rid yourself of the Public Baby, you will find its duplicate in the next.

Your journey is at an end you have secured vourroom at the hotel from the adjoining apartment a squall arises, the Public Baby has preceded you: it, he,she is there. Go at night to the theater— another squall arises: the Public Baby is there aluo

The parents of the Public Baby deem all this howling harmonious: they would not have a single note wasted in private. That is why ii must go off in public, that is why it is taken to all manner of public places. It is taken to the theatre that it may insert its screech into the finest orchestral strains, or shiver all effect and sentiment to pieces by utterin? its Da! da! in the culminating moment of the acior's performance.

The father of the Public Baby wears a black suit, creased by being long folded in his trunk at home a paper collar several days old a green silk neck-tie a gaily-figured vest, and trowsers of some color as Widely cantrasted as passible with the rest of his garments. As to color, be is dressed in compartments. He chews largely of tobacco gets out at every station for a drink puts his ticket in the least known and explored lecesses of his clothing, so as to involve a long search for it every time the conductor comes round At home, he keeps tied up in his back yard a howling and barkingpup—a pup which crowds the debit column of the Recording Angel's ledger with the neighbor's curses. When this pup grows out of the howling and harking stage, he sells him and gets another just old enough to bowl. 'Tisn't the pup he wants—it's his howl. That howl is a part of the Public Baby's diet.

The mother of the Public Baby wears a black velvet bonnet, more or le-s faded: it has been hung up where she has raised a dust with a broom. Her hair is slung in dusty, reckless coils there is a washing day look about her her skirts are careless in their disposition she hath a general dustv air, and bears many traces of amalgamation with the Public Babv. She married because she had a chance because a man came along because it is a part of life to marry. The union has resulted in one, perhaps several Public Babies. Society shudders, without ex actly knowing why, on the appearance of each. She doesn't. She would regard

In disposition thePublicBaby is uglier than a convention of rattlesnakes, more venomous than a caucus of centipedes, meaner than a band of coyotes. It does not intend to be suited or pacified: it is

But it came .it the next sta lion The little fiend never misses a train or pays a cent This Public Bahy at first cried and howled on general principles. It had not as yet discovered any special cause lor grievance: because of this it cried. Its little hands were sticky with some manner of saccharine stick iness- its little face was sticky with the same! especially its little noisy mouth it rubbed its little sticky face with its little sticky hands the general stickiness of its face was amalgamated with that of its hands, and vice versa- When it had prepared this mixture, it wanted to rub it over all who sat near. It clutched at a ladv's bonnet-ribbons, and succeeded in transferring a spot of molasses colored brown to the bright blue or the silk. The ladv turned. She noticed the Public

Babv she looked a« if -he wished King Herod were alive and doing a lively busi ness in that particular car. The parents withdrew their ffticky offspring from the front.

Twelve Bnalnesa Homes Burned!

LOSS, $25,000 TO $30 OOO.

Onr dispatcher .yesterday morning brought intelligence- of a destructive Ire at Worthington, Greene county, on Tuesday morning. From an extra, issued by the "Valley Times," we learn that the fire started about twenty minutes before three o'clock. It was the work of an incendiary, as it broke out in the southeast corner of N. Shaw's warehouse, occupied by P. Burr, situated about the middle of Commercial Row. It was not discovered until the flames had burst through the roof of the warehouse, and it was then too late to render any possible means of reducing the fire- The flames almost in stantly seemed to flash all over the building, and at the same time several kegs of powder .exploded in the warehouse, scattering fire brands hither and thither.

The entire square, together with Commercial, Main and Ann streets, were covered with goods of every description. From the time the fire was first discovered, until it reached the south corner, was about two and a half hours. Very fortunately the merchants saved nearly all their goods, The loss by the fire cannot be correctly estimated this morning The goods are damaged materially, as a matter of course

There was but little or no insriranceon the buildings and stock, as responsible companies did not feel safe in assuming risks in it.

The number of buildings destroyed were as follows: G. W Langwortby & Son's two story business room, occupied by Haviland & Throop as a dry goods store, no insuiance C. Howe's onestory building, occupied by Grimm Brothers as a grocery store, no insurance C. N Shaw's two story building, occupied by P. Burr a« a dry goods and grocery store and a second story by the Masonic fraternity as a lodge hall, no insurance Godfrey Shryer's four business honses, occupied by the following persons as business rooms, partly insured: One a one-story building, occupied by Theodore Scheepers as a notion store and saloon one two story unoccupied one one story building occupied by John H. Groves & Brother as a boot and shoe shop and leather store and a small frame building occupied bv M. V. B. Smith as a notion store and "saloon. The other losers of business houses were, William Wilkins two story business house, occupied by him as a dry goods and grocery store, partially insured W. M- Morrison, one story building, occupied by McKee Brothers, as a family grocery store, no insurance M. Mullinnix's one story building, occupied by bim as a drug store, no insurance

Each business firm in the row sustained more or less loss, although but few oMJje buildings were owned by them. The damage, as near as can be estimated at the present writing, is about as follows:

W. Langworthy & Son, $3,000 Haviland & Throop, $1,000 C. C. Howe, $600: P. Burr, $1,000 Tbeo- Scheepers, $1,500 William Wilkins, $2,700 R. 8. McKee & Bto., $600 M. G. Mullinix & Co $1,200 W. Morrison, $800 Wm. Andrews, $1,000 N Shaw, $2,000 Godfrey Shryer, $1,000.

The Masonic Hall was in Shaw's build ing, and everything in it was consumed, including the charter. The books ®nd papers, however, were saved, a-s the secretary had taken them home with him.

Quite a number of our business men are this morning without places to do business in, while others have already secured buildings, and will open in a day or two.

THE STATE FAIR.—At

the meeting

of the State Board of Agriculture, on Wednesday, it was decided to sell the present State Fair Grounds, at Camp Morton, and affer this year adopt the migratory system and then the location of the next State Fair coming up, Col. Dowling submitted the following proposition in behalf of the city of Terre Haute and the Vigo County Agricultural Society: To the State Board of Agriculture:

The undersigned, on behalf of the city of Terre Haute, proposes to grant the use of the County Fair Ground, situated near that place, to the Stale Board for the holding of the annual State Fair for 1872. The grounds comprise upwards of 70 acres. The citizens of Terre Haute, by the Vigo Agricultural Society, pro pose to spend four thousand five hundred dollars in erecting additional halls, cattle and horse sheds, hog and sheep pens, and other necessary improvements. In addition to this, they propose to pay to the State Board the sum of $1,000. As is usual, we invite the Stale Board to the hospitalities of the city.

We have now seven railroads running in and out of Terre Haute, two east, two west, two north and one south.

THE

TIIOS. DOWLING.

After some remarks by various members of the Board a vote was taken, which resulted in favor of Indianapolis 13 to 3 Messrs. Dowling, Burk and Nelson voting "No."

The hearty thanks of the Board wer? tendered to Terre Haute for her liberal offer, with an assurance that she would be "remembered'' in the future.

AN OPINION ON OYSTERS.—Some one who has evidently bestowed not only a great deal ol mental effort on the subject, but also much time in experimenting, asserts that in nine cases out of ten, housekeepers do not know how to stew a dish of oysters. By the ordinary routine, that nearly every one follows, either the oysters are stewed and shrivelled outof all semblance of themselves in shape, size and flavor, or else the soup and "thicking" has a raw taste that spoils it. Here is the right method try it once, and we'll warrant you won't need telling the second time: Pick the oysters out of the juice with a fork, as dry as possible stew the juice, thickening with the milk, of which the soup is to be made, until thoroughly cooked then drop the oysters in, and just as the cooled soup begins to show signs of simmering, empty out altogether, and you will have lich soup and plump oysters, luscious enough to make you think you never tasted real oysters before.

afternoon a man

named Caylor was observed to suddenly fall upon the pavement in front of a saloon opposite the Mayor's office. Several gentlemen ran to him, and supposing that he was suffering from a fit carried him into the saloon and laid him upon the floor. Col. Bob Stewart and Geo. C. Day were especially solicitous for the sufferer, Mr. Duy running across the treet for a bottle of hartshorn About the time he returned Dan Crowe came in and recognizing the man, said:

Hellol

old fellow, get up and take a drink!" The man slowly arose, stare 1 about wildly but no liquor being offered, he coolly walked out. And then Dan brought the laugh upon Duy and Stewart by stating that this was a repetition of an old ruse of Caylor's to get a drink of liquor. This (Sme it was a failure.

WAS IT SUICIDE?—On Saturday morning last, a single barreled pistol was found about six feet from where the lifeless body of Thomas Bensinger was discovered last week The finding of this weapon, however, does not shed any new light upon the manner in which Bensinger's life was taken. It may have been suicide, or the murderers who could place the body in the position found, could also leave the pistol where it would be observed.

Irish American citizens are in

earnest and determined to bring things to a focus in a business like and systematic manner. They have called a meeting on the evening of the 6th of March, for the nomination of a candidate for one of the five county offices. They say in their call that "the Irish American citizens are reminded of their great strength in this county, and that their demand for one of the county offices is but a right belonging to them, and which they have made themselves entitled to by their long adherence to the Democratic party." It is evident that our Irish citizens of the opposite political faith mean business I

A ROMANCE.—There is, or rather was yesterday, in this city a gay young man, a mixer of cocktails, a slinger of gin, who got into trouble with two females, both of them united to him in bonds of matrimony. Some months ago he came here with a young womin who now proves to be wife No. 2. He lived happily enough until day before yesterday when the early morning train from the east brought wife No. 1. The poor persecuted man tried to reason the thing with the latter and get her to return home. Failing in this he left the city and the two women, and is now wandering in strange parts.

COAL OIL has added another to its list of victims in this vicinity. A Mr. Fisher, living three miles east of Bowling Green one night last week attempted to fill a lamp with coal oil while the same was lighted. The result was as usual, the explosion of the can, and more horrible still, the burning to death of a little girl, and the serious burning of another child, bosides. FUher is so badly burned that he is not able to be out of his house.

Sr., as has hereto

fore been briefly mentioned, died on the 21st instant, at his residence in Vermillion county, Indiana. If he had endured his longsickne's till fo-dav he would have reached the ripe age of 85 years.

The deceased was a native of Huntington county, Pennsylvania. He became a resident of Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1799, where he resided, except for a short time, whisn he lived at Columbus, in that State, until 1820. He was commissioned Sheriff of Ross county, Ohio, in 1818 and two year? after that time moved to Terre Haute, Indiana, holding the position of Deputy Surveyor of the United States. He surveyed a district ol land, composed of parts of the counties of Hendricks, Montgomery, Putnam and Parke. In 1825 he removed to the County of Vermillion, where has since resided. ,^

BYCE'S CARPET HALL-

Terre Haute, Ind.

Since this well-known and popular es tablishment has been in existence it has achieved a reputation that is a source 0 pride, both to its proprietors and the community wherein it is located. Prior to the removal of the Buckeye Dry Goods House of W. S. Ryce & Co., to its present location, the two branches of business were conducted at No. 77 Main street. The steady growth of trade necesitated additional room, and when the stocks were divided, flie Dry Goods, Notions, &C-, were transferred to the splendid double room in Beach's block, the House Furnishing Goods being retained at the old stand. The entire building was immediately filled with a "complete stock of goods, inaugurating the first exclusive House Furnishing business in the city. The experiment has resulted in a complete success, more than realizing the sanguine expectations of its proprietors and their many friends.

By making a specialty of this class 0 goods, its manageis have been enabled to concentrate that care and attention wnicn were so essential to tha proper development of the business, and even a superficial observer will be struck by tbe systematic methods, even to minor details) that characterize the entire establishment. This success has been accomplished through inderatigable energy proceeding from the proper use of brain and muscle. A tireless vigilance and a live, progressive spirit have distinguished the house since its commencement. Occupying the position of the only establishment of its kind in the city, its record is certainly enviable. Yet we predict for it a future of still more brilliant results.

Ryce's Carpet Hall wilt long maintain its well-earned reputation of displaying the largest variety and most attractive styles of the staple goods belonging to the business, such as Carpets, Wall Paper, Window Shades, Oil Cloths, Mattings, &c while it controls the trade in elegant Damasks, Lace Curtains, LambrequinsOttomans, Hassocks, Window Trimmings, Decorative Paper Hangings, fine Rugs, Ac. Practical and competent workmen are employed in the various departments, and orders are promptly and satisfactorily executed. Window Shades are manufac tured to order, special attention being given to large and odd sizes for stores. These goods are beautifully bordered, ornamented and lettered.

The fineU Pier and Mantel Mirrors, in choice variety, are tastefully arrayed upon the first floor. We cannot, however, in an article like this, enumerate all the attraction of this young and vigorous house. To the residents of Terre Haute it is needless to call attention to the various attractions presented, for the entire population "from the least to the greatest" are familiar therewith but to the stranger and visitor, who are temporarily in the city, either upon business or pleasure, we strongly recommend the "sightseeing" which the Carpet Hall affords, assuring them they will be amply repaid for the time and effort.

The spring campaign will soon be started, and we notice active preparations to meet the heavy trade which is awaiting them. We observed especially the immense piles of Wall Paper, of eveiy conceivable style, which for variety, magnitude and beauty, constitute a display altogether without a parallel in this part of the country.

A special feature of ibis house is the attention given to completed work in the various departments, such as measuring rooms, cutting, making and laying carpets, fitting oil rloihs, mounting and hanging shades, lambrequ'ns and cornices, plain poper hanging, and all intermediate work to the highest styles of decorative finish. The greatest care is exercised in the filling of orders, and housekeepers are thus relieved of the many annoyances to which ihey have heretofore been subjected by irresponsible parlies.

Mr. Edward M. Walmsley, who lias had the management of the Carpet Hall for more than two years, is now one of the proprietors, and will continue lodevote his time and energies in the same direction as in the past.

The development of new trading communities, caused by the rapid growth of onr railroad system, necessitates a degree of enterprifC unknown in our past history, and it requires a "wide awake" house to fully meet the requirements of the situation.

With 'he'unusual facilities for the purchase ot goons, ampie capital to operate with, the knowledge derived from a thorough appreciation of ihc wan's of the people, united to unremitting zeal in the prosecution of business, we venture the prediction that the luime chronicler of (he hintorv of our beautiful Praine C-ity, will have' the solid facts to justify the mot flattering encomiums of hyces Carpet Hall.

From the Brasii Miner.] A Valuable Discovery Fire Clay Equal to that of Mount Savage.

It has been known for some time in private circles, that Messrs. B. F. Masten and E. Montgomery had purchased and leased a large body of land near Highland, in Vermillion county, which was supposed to have upon it a valuable vein of fine tire and potters' clay. Not

u°lIJ

the present time, however, have we bad the permission of these gentlemen to make the matter public.

The land of which we speak is some four or five hundred acres, and lies along the south side of the E ,T. H. & C. R. R. The bed of clay is about seven feet thick and of the finest quality. Thorough tests have been made, and we were shown a brick which had been made of this clay, and which had been subjected to a verv high degree of heat in a puddHng furnace, side by side with a Mount Savage brick, the most famous for withstanding heat of any known in this country. Both bricks were about a third burned away and covered on the side which had been exposed to the fire by a thick coat of glazing. Their appearance was very similar, save that ihe Mount Savage seemed to have a little the worst of the bargain, being melted away more at one end than at the other, while the Highland brick burned entirely uniformly. This test is considered satisfactory in everv respect, and there cannot be any further doubt of the highly valuable character of the clay. So far, we believe, no fire clay of anything like so superiors quality has been discovered anywhere in the West, and all the brick which are used for lining furnace bashes and puddling furnaces, as well as for similar purposes where a high degree of heat is required, have been imported from Marjland or New Jersey. The discovery of such a bed of clay, therefore, is justly looked upon as of no small importance.

Mr. Montgomery contemplates removing to Highland, we understand, where works for the manufacture of the brick will be erected at once. It is expected that they will be finished and ready to go into operation by June or July. In addition to lire brick it is thought the clay ill be superior for gas retorts, terracotta work, Ac. Messrs. Masten and Montgomery believe that they control the Pr'® cipal portiou of this bed that is of the highest excellence. If so, and the clay proves to be of as good quality as the. testa so far applied would indicate, thftre everv prospect that they will realize handsome fortune from it. j*
