OPERA HoUsE.-A very far audi
,ence was in attendance last night to
see the last representation Of the
Field of the Cloth of Gold which
was admirably rendered. and vocifer-
ously applauded.
Tonight there is an entire change
of programme, and Miss Kate Put
nam will sustain FIVE characters in
the protean play of the " Little De-
tective," in which she appears to
great advantage. and will be support
ed by the entire troupe. which is. SO
far as we are able to judge, first class.
The performance will commence with
the laughable farce of the Married

u. s. COMMISSIONER CoURT,-A
case was tried before Commissioner
Marsh yesterday, in which a man
named Sehewilz was defendant. It
appears that man named Linck gave
Schewitz a promissory note, which
both parties failed to stamp. The
note was not paid at the proper time,
and the account was sued on, but with
what result we do not know. A few
days ago, an affidavit was fled against
ScheBilz by Mr.. Joseph GfTerer. for
falling to afix the proper fve-cent
stamp on the note, such failure being
a violation of the revenue laws. We
believe that both the maker and re-
cipient of the note are equally liable.
The revenue law expressly says that
any person giving or receiving
a promissory note who shall fail to
stamp it, with intent to evade the
provisions of this act. shall. for every
such ofense, be liable in a penalty of
fifty dollars.
Mr.. Peter Maier, the defendants
attorney, argued that the prosecution
had not shown any intent to commit
fraud on the revenue laws, and thought
the case had not been made out, 10
which Commissioner Marsh concur
red, and Schewitz was discharged.
The prosecution was commenced by
private party, but conducted by
Assistant Assessor Eber8ine, in be-
half af The United States, for want Of
a Government Prosecuting Attorney.

LOCAL NOTICES.

MULTUM IN PARvo.-George Pea
body was the Great American repre-
sentative Of philanthropy, but upon his
decease. his mantle fell upon III. j
Schl@pfer, at the corner of Main and
Second Streets, because SchlaDfer
keeps the greatest assortment OF Toi-
let Articles to be found in the West.
A lady can drop in there and pur-
chase everything needed. In fact,
Schl@pier has gone into camp, and
has fortified his position with Fancy
Articles, Brushes, Card Cases, Porte
monniaes, Pearl aud Tortoise Shell
Combs, Memorandum Books, and
a thousand other things suita-
bic for Holiday gifts. An active
siege was begun ye. terday by a bri-
ga9e of ladies, aud his line was broken
on the left. and the attacking party
got away with some valuable trophies,
including some Of the finest French
and English perfumes, fancy soaps,
etc. The attack will be resumed to-
day, and it is thought that by to. NOR
row there will be some prospect of
carrying the works by storm. A
whole division of ladies, commanded
by leaders of renoWp. will make a
grand charge. but Schl9pfer feels con-
fdent of holding his position, al
though his loss may be heavy. Phil.

EXTRAORDINARY SHIPMENr.-We
noticed yesterday a box Of fine dry
goods. purchased Of E. A. Cooke &
Co., In this city, addressed ready for
shipment, to Cincinnati. That any
person should make such a purchase
in Evansville, to ship to a place like
the Queen City, is something extraor-
binary, and is another item for Evans
Vile to boast of. The bill of goods
amounted to about $40O.

TEMPERANCE MATTERS. = At q
called meeting, By the Rev. Charles
Martindale, General Agent of the
State Temperance Alliance. the fol !
loving persons we're elected as a
Central Committee for Vanderburgh
County: DR.. Fl. G. Jones, Chairman :;
j. w. Buttress. Secretary; Fl. A.
Mattisson, Alvah johnson, D. G.
Marks, o. NJ. Boyd, H. B. Cassavant.
Samuel Curnick, R. B. Hart, Prof.
f. WilIett, B. T. Gillett, ]. E. Har-
per, DR.. Floyd Stinson, Local Agents.
The Committee adjourned to meet in
the Criminal Court Room on Monday
evening, December 9th. at z o'clock
Pm.
We find upon our table circular
issued in the interests of the above
alliance. Among otker interesting
facts this singular combination of
figures appears. Referring to the
effects of intemperence upon our
financial prosperity, it declares that
retail sales of ardent spirits alone
amount to 81. 4s3. 191. 665, basiBg its
assertion upon reliable Revenue re-
ports. According to this the sum
expended would amount to S43 for
every man, woman and child in the
nation. This is an astounding col
lection of figures, aud at first glance
it seems almost incredible; but as
the statement has been cleaned care.
fully from the most reliable sources
thsre can lie little doubt as to their
reliability, and we are only left to
wonder at them. We extract the
following in its entirety:
In FIVE years this amount would
buy every farm in the United States,
at the value fixed BY the census OF
1860, and leaves $519 Dos, 322 1t
lacks but SIG, 354,669 % of the
whole amount of money coined by
the general Government up to 1860.
In one year it would buy ali the live
stock reported in the census Of 1860,
and leave 1922, 509,784. In two years
it would amount to $564, 322, S39 more
than the expenditures of the general
Government up to 1861. In two
years 1t would pay our national debt,
and leave $341, 480, 1872 for the inter-
nal improvement of the country. 1t
would feed and clothe the nation, and
furnish them with books. papers and
periodicals, and do all their printing
for Eve years.
A still further examination gives
these additional figures, which viii
doubtless prove none the less interest
ing:
There are 419. AGA more persons en-
gagged in the manufacture aud sale Of
ardent spirits than are engaged in
preaching the Gospel and teaching
the various branches of science and
literature. As a result we have
nearly three million persons who
drink; 100000 confirmed drunkards
100, 1000 annually sent to prison; 200,-
600 children dependent on charity.
and 100000 children deprived of all
thesmeans of securing an education.
