PIKE's OPEaA HoUsE.-Departing Winter
yesterday looked back and scowled upon the
coming Spring, At noon, through many
clouds, she smiled; but they, condensed, soon
after fell in tiny drops, which then the breath
of Winter froze, and geld snow-fakes fell
upon the shivefing Earth until the Night, re-
treating from the coming Morn, tho scepter
gave to Day; and yet all this did not prevent
the attendance Of large and fashionable au-
dience at the above-named Musical Temple, to
witness the performance of Trovatore.
Parodi has always, as a singer, been favor-
lite with us--now, she is such as an actress.
Her rendition of the self-sacrifcing "Leonora"
was excellent throughout, while in tho last act,
her joy at being permitted to bear to her lover
the tidings Of his freedom, her entreaties and
implorations, as she urged him to fy; her
laintness in consequence of the poison she had
taken, and, finally, her death, were each, in
their way, positively great. ..-
1aAs "Azucena" Madame Strakosch surprised
even her most enthusiastic admirers. We knew
her as a pleasing contralto, but we were not
prepared for such force and energy as she ex-
hibited last night.
Brignoli as "Manrico" sang sweetly, as also
did Amodio as the "Count di Luna !" while
both won fresh laurels, and made deeper i'm
pressions upon the minds of their many ad-
mrers. ....
The anvil chorus, we are sorry to say, was
not so effective as we could have wished it,
and this was the only weak place in the perform
| ance. The anvils seemed out of tune and in
harmonious, while the voices were somewhat
| too few for the orchestra. This may be easily
remedied, and we presume it will be; for thil
evening Irorasore will be repeated, with tn,
same magnificent cast as that by which it wa
so admirably rendered last night.
By the way, the troupe will give concer
on Wednesday evening, for the particulars o
which we refer our readers to the advertise
ment undcr the appropriate head.

HOME INTERESTS.

Deters' Boot and Shoeware House,
No. SO West Fourth street.-our readers, as
they have passed along Wost Fourth street,
must have been attracted to tho brilliant win
dows of the Wholesale and Retail Boot
and Shoe establishment recently opened by
Mr.. John II. Deters, in Carlisle Buildings,
No. SO West Fourth street, on the South side,
between Walnut and Vine streets.
This establishment is, without question, one
of the most extensive and we'll arranged in all
this Western country. It bears witness
which none can gainsay-to the enterprise,
capital, taste and business qualifications of this
highly -honored son of the immortal Crispin,
whilo 1t offers purchasers, of every class, ad-
vantages not to be despised.
The building is divided into three parts-the
first being the wholesale depot, which occupies
the basement, whore the town or country dealer
will find displayed every variety of size, shape
and quality, of both boots and shoes, for Ia
dies, gentlemen and children. ., ,-i
The retail department is found on the first
hoor-of which it is useless to write word,
but simply to request the reader to step in and
see for himself. The stock here is extensive
and as varied as will be found anywhere
therefore, we say, ego and see."
In the second and third stories there are to
be found, at all working hours, close upon two
hundred jolly hearted " cordwainers," who
while they hammer and peg, for the specia
benefit of the community, endeavor to keel
their heads from nodding over lap-stones by thu
singing of ditties and songs of the most in
spring character. These two stories, then
form the Manufacturing Department
Finally, we recommend visit to the ware

ROMANCE ON THE L. M. RAILRoAD-A some
what singular affair took place yesterday on
the train from Columbus to this city, which re-
suited, as.do all comedies, in a marriage. A
man who was on his way to Kansas, met lady
on the cars, and accidentally fell into CONVEX
sation with her. She said she was coming to
the city for the purpose Of purchasing q SOW
ing machine; that she was poor, and was com
PEELED to resort to this for livelihood; for al
though teacher, she was without employment
Of that kind, and that sewing was now her
only hope. He was practical, and asked her
why she did not get married, and received for
a reply that she would If she could but find
some one she liked. He then told her his
name, business and destination, and asked her
to accompany him, and she consented When
they arrived in the city he went to the Probate
Court, got license, and they were married
forthwith. They left the city last night on the
train for st. Louis, as happy as most newly
married couples are; but whether their dreams
will last until they reach Kansas, we leave our
readers to imagine. They have married in
haste, and have whole lifetime in which to
repent ....

DIGNIFED PRocEEDINGs.-On Monday
Christmas, the usual monotony of the pro-
ceedings in the House of Representatives was
varied with an episode which conferred lustre
on all concerned. Extra Billy Smith of Vir-
ginia, while making speech which threatened
to occupy the entire day had presented to him a
glass of egg-nogg, which he proceeded to drink
to the great delight of his fellow members. In
imitation of the bibulous gentleman in reduc-
ed circumstances, who, said ''if there was any
think he liked better than glass of rum, it
was two glasses" Mr.. Smith received Sec
ond tumbler of his favorite beverage, which
met with the same fate as the first, the House
in the meantime becoming uproariously mer-
~. 1t is very painful to observe such levity at
a time when the Union is in such imminent
danger of destruction. Where were the sol.
emn and desperate prophets of ruin while this
little allegro was going on?

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Message of the President, which has
been many times threatened, was delivered to
the Senate, at noon, yesterday. We present
it in full to our readers, this morning. The
lateness of the hour at which the document
was received would at this time prevent ex-
tended comments, if we had more room for
them. The President starts with "the re-
cent bloody occurrences at Harpcrs Ferry"
and, after reading homily on that sub
ject, he does not think the Union in much
danger, but lie desires that slavery may
not be contradicted or disturbed. This
leads him to the bred Scott decision and the
question of slavery in the territories, and he
congratuates Congress on the final settle
ment'' of this question, made by the Supreme
Court He asserts positively that its decision
establishes the right of every STAKEHOLDER to
take his slaves into any territory under the
Jurisdiction of the confederacy, by virtue of
the constitution, and that neither Congress,
territorial legislatures, nor any human power
whatever, has the right to interfere He repeats
the same thing in different forms with dogmatic
postiveness, and is especially strong in assert
ing that the decision is final and "irrevocable."
Mr.. Buchanan does not seem to understand that
it is the Divine law of right that is final and
irrevocable, and not human attempts to crush
it out. He renews the demand, that Congress
shall confer OH the President the power to
make war In certain cases-a demand which
should be spurned in such a manner as would
prevent another repetition of it. The message
announces that the San Juan affair has been
peaceably arranged; and then it devotes
great many words to Mexican affairs, which,
after all, make us feel that the President
means more than he ventures to say. Beside
these matters, there is the usual variety of pru-
dental topics which relate to the wants of the
government, the exigences of the times, and
the duties of Congress.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY Il learn that some persons
in your city have the impression that DR.. Green's

sulting one. This must come from entire ignorance
of what it contains. In all it would seem the

merit, and the best and most reliable editions Sc
cured. II contains, perhaps, the only rul set OF
Bohn's Popular Libraries in New England. There
will be found of our American issues from the va
rious sects and parties their most reliable treatises
OF the still born and ephemeral books it has been
his aim to leave elsewhere TO expire. have often
heard his judgment for selecting books commended

rather than to police or almshouses as must be if
the unfolding mind is neglected. 2. BAKER.
