SpIrEFUL.-The Jasper Dubois
County, Courier Of last week, con-
tanned a squib which aimed to be
very sarcastic. abiding to a visit of
the Assessor of Internal Revenue to
that county, for the purpose Of look
ing after the interests of the Govern
ment in the matter of distilling fruit
brandy. The Courier of this city
copies the lame attempt at wit. The
spirit of the paragraph was opposl-
ton to the internal revenue laws, aud
there was cropping out of it justifi-
cation of illicit distiliing. This
course is just what might be expected
from two such papers.
We are informed on good authority
that the prediction of the two Cou-
rsers, that expenses would not be
made in that county, viii not be real
lied. The public treasury will be
several thousand dollars richer at the
end of the fruit distilling season in
consequence Of the visits Of the reve-
nue. officers to that county. There
will Lave been twelve distilleries in
operation there under the law, and
possibly more.

OPERA HoUsE.-There was very
lsrge audience at the Opera House on
Saturday night to witness the repre-
sentation of Macbeth, which was rem
dered in admirable style, and was re-
ceived with the warmest applause.
Mr.. Stetson and Miss Minnie Monk
during their brief stay here, have es-
tablished most enviable reputation
as artistcs of superior ability, and
hosts of the lovers of the drama in
this city regret that the season was so
short, but are gratifed to know that
they will return in November. Mr..
Duffeld combines with the abilities cf
a sagacious manager. the character
istics of true gentleman. His music,
as Queen of the Witches. was exceed
ingly fine. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Pierce added to the we'll deserved
reputation they have gained in this
city, and the whole company deserve
especial commentator. They will
receive a most cordial welcome on
their return.

THE TOBACCO CRoP.-A gentleman
who has just returned from tour In
Spencer, Dubois and Warrick Coun-
ties. reports the tobacco crop in these
counties to be enormous. The farm
ers are busy gathering aud housing it..
Everything in the shape Of shed or
shanty, not needed to live or keep
stock or provender in, is full of tobac-
co, and vast quantities are hung in the
fence corners and otherwise in the
open air. Efforts are being made to
gather the crop before heavy frost
comes.
The fame Of Evansville as tobae-
co mart viii attract large portion of
the crop to this point. 1t rests with
our buyers to extend their opera tions
to their hearts content.
A person who is we'll posted ex-
pressed the opinion to our informant
that the crop this season will be the
largest and best ever known in this
district.

CHILDREN's FESTIVAL TO-NIGHT.
The weather on Saturday morning
was SO unfayorable that the st. Pauls
Mission Sunday School had to give
up all idea of picnic on that day.
In order, however, not to disappoint
the children, the teachers resolved to
get them up little festival, this even
ing, at Masonic Hall. This, we know,
will be good news to the little folks.
The congregations of St. PauPs
Church and the Church of the Holy
Innocents are invited to attend and
assist in the exercises. Baskets of
provisions can be left at St. PauPs
Parsonage at any time to-day, or may
be sent to Masonic Hall after six
o'clock this evening We feel con-
fdent that the children will have a
pleasant time.

Disabling BRANDY FROM FRUIT
Owing to the abundant crop of
peaches and apples in this region of
country, and the notifications that
have been made in the Treasury reg
uIations governing the distilling bust
ness, in favor of fruit distilleries,
the business of distillation of fruit
brandy has been commenced with
great vigor In this collection district.
Twenty-Five distilleries have taken
steps to run according to law, and
some are already at work. OF this
number, four are in Spencer County,
twelve in Dubois, two in Martin. one
in Daviess, one in Knox, one in Po-
sey and one in Vanderburgh.
Distilled spirits bear a tax easier
than any other commodity. The pros
pect is that Uncle Sam will realize
handsomely from this source the
present season.

The OAUsE.-Last Wednesday, on
the up trip of the mail train on the
B.. & G. Railroad, something about
the engine got out of order, and the
train stopped at Carlisle about twenty
minutes until the defect could be
remedied. The passengers and nearly
all the citizens of Carlisle congre-
gated around the engine to know
what was the matter, bat "Bony :"
Lyon, the popular engineer, did not
have time to answer questions; and
after the train left. Jim Speake, an
old railroader, who now lives at Car
Isle, explained the matter by telling
the crowd that the plunger showed
itself through the swyfax, thereby
heating the boxing to such an extent
as to cause the main shaft to collide
with the smoke-stack in such man
ner as to make the danger of COLI
sion between the throttle-valve and
the spanner very imminent, but the
catastrophe was averted by the en-
gineer, easing off the piston-rod."
This was as clear as mud"

"WHERE is Drake 8. 4. I86OX?Y We have
heard this question asked many times, ana
for all we knew for a year past be might
be dead. Recently, IN New York, we
called at his Laboraf DRY IN Liberty 81,
and there found this gentleman barricaded
behind a tremendous pile Of boxes dis
tributing funds to q Sunday School Com
mfttee. Our business was TO secure an al
Vertisement. He said: My dear sir,
what is the use of advertising the Planta
ton Bitters? They sell better now than
when I ADVERTISED at such enormous eX-
penses, and now have not made con-
tract for year. 4 have all this amount 10
give to the poor. To satisfy the press,
however, who have always been my
friends, 1 think / will give you a little
something 20 do again, for 4 have ina
proved the Bitters greatly. and IL may be
well to have you LET the pc pie know it."
And so he ran on ia happy, cordial, APP
preciative manner, showing us the won
ders OF his place and the cords Of certtE-
Gates. Everything is on a magnificent
scale, and is done with neatness and
promptness. While there we saw az least
forty orders come in for these celebrated
BItters. Cases were being shipped to the
four corners OF the world. Drake Is not
