died so suddenly that his sister Trevc-

dead in his chamber at eight. It was
some little time after, before his death
was published; for to shrink from pub
licity of any kind, was a pec,iliarity Of
his family. The London Globe of the

Hear Both sides--A word for Hoops.

Hear Both Sides--A Word for Hoops.
As we recently gave our lady readers
the opinion of Miss Harriet Martineau
against hoops, it is but fair to present
what is said on the other side of the
question. The following is from the
Home journal, a high authority in
matters Of taste:
Indeed the present fashion of hoops,
which we are glad to see continues un-
changed, Notwithstanding all the gossips
say to the contrary-is becoming to
more persons than any style of dress
heretofore adopted 1t combines grace
fulness and elegance with healthfulnoss
and comfort Since their introduction
spinal diseases, once so common, have,
in a great measure, disappeared; nor
has any other complaint arisen in its
place The latest and most authentic
advices, received since the lst Of Jan.
from the Courts of Europe, state that
hoops not only continue in much favor,
but their popularity is essentially in
creased, especially since the French
Empress has, for weighty reasons, ex-
pressed a desire that they should re-
main in vogue. All American ladies
who consult taste, comfort, health, and
good sense, would not dispense with
them on any account. A slight altera-
tion in the shape Of the skirts is the
only change at all apparent They have
become, we perceive, trife more mode
rate in dimensions, noticeable particu-
larly in the upper part Of the skirt
the hoops in the lower portion having
suffered little diminutiOn. The FASH
ionahle skirt, as now manufactured, ,
combines several novel features. not
heretofore introduced which renders it,
we think, not only more becoming, but
secures for it permanent existence
among the thinking aud cOnsiderate
portion Of the community. We refer
to the "new patent Corrugated Springs,
which, while they increase the strength
md stiffness of the skirt, yet reduce
fhr weight of it nearly one.h half, a most
important feature, We judge, to their
general worth. This is, undoubtedly,
the greatest improvement made in the
skirts since their adoption in this cOun,
try,
There is no dress a lady can wear, no
matter what may be its material, its
color, or its fashion, that is not improv,
ed in its general appearance by being
spread out by hoops Through their
aid, dignity and grace are attained, and
the sweeping line Of the skirt preserved
in all its purity.

Press. He stands seven feet eight inches in
his boots, weighs 24O pounds, and is twenty
three years old. He was born and raised

he looked taller than he really is for com
mon-sized men standing around him looked

The President,s u essage.

We publish in this issue of the Daily one
half of this important document. To-mor-
row we shall publish the remainder. For
several reasons we concluded not to attempt
to publish it all at once The Cincinnati
papers containing it arrived yesterday, hav-
ing obtained it by telegraph, and as they
circulate quite number of copies here, the
Message has already been extensively read
Had copies been sent to the West in ad-
vance for the use of the Press, we could
have beaten all other papers considerably
in the publication. Another reason why we
divide the Message is, that by so doing we
may give telegraphic and other news,
whereas, if the whole were published at
once it would crowd out all other reading
matter. Still another reason is, that our
hands have been working all night for
number of nights, and are prostrated with
such wearing labor. These reasons we
know, will constitute sufficient apology for
our indulgent readers. Most of them will
find half the Message as much as they can
read and inwardly digest in one day so the
disappointment at not getting all at once
will not be very great.
We shall ask the indulgence Of some of
our advertisers for a few days, in crowding
certain advertisements out. The pressure
on our columns caused by the Message and
the city delinquent lists will soon cease.
AN INTERESTING AND INsTRUCrIvE ExHI-
uITIoN.-By an advertisement it will be
seen that there will be an exhibition on
a boat at the river this (Frdayl afternoon
and evening, of Allegorical Tableaux and
Indians This exhibition will be one
of the most interesting that has visited
Evansville for years The Allegorieal por-
ton of it is novel and impressive, while the
Indian portion of it contains many things
well worth seeing.
The Indians are the "real article" They
will appear in their native costumes, dance
their wild dances, End enunciate their
gutteral sylIables.
The alIegorical tableaux are formed by
living fgures-persons and animals-repre-
sentine prominent scenes in American his
tory, aided by scenery, costumes, and other
adjuncts, to make the representation appear
natural to the life.
This is an exhibition which both old aud
young can enjoy. We expect to see
large audience present. 1t is entirely un-
exceptionable in character-in fact wholly
commendable in its tendencies.
