BATEs HoUsE.-Visitors 10 the
State Capital viii be gratifed to know
that this hotel. which has passed
through so many hands of late years,
with very littlo change for the better.
appears at last TO have come under
the control Of proprietors who give
promise OF a decided Improvement in
that establishment. Messrs. Chap
man G5 Bailey, the new lessees, are
giving the house a pretty general over
hauling, and when the repairs in pro.
gress are completed, the old patrons
will be welcomed to a good hotel,
cleanly. attractive and comfortable.
A good hotel at the Capital has been
a confessed want, and the new propri-
etors will do the public an appreciated
service if they will supply it. We
believe they will.

A SHoEMAKER's TROUBLES
There is a Divinity that shapes our
ends rough" as some reckless reader
has chosen to quote the words of Will
liam Shakespeare, and We think there is
something rough P" il The way NOR
tails are occasionally treated, who at
tempt to "shapc our ends" This is
illustrated by the statement of shoe
maker in Lamasco, who was so uufor
tunate as to take orders from three
individuals few weeks ago, for boots,
one Of whom has since died, another
has moved away FROM town, and the
third IS now lying quite i'll. The
boots are made, and stand in a rev
on the shelf Of the tradesman, mate
rial evidences Of the uncertainty of
human life.

ALMOST a FIRE.-We learn that
on Tuesday night, lady in the upper
part Of the city, after kindliug a big
fire to dry some clothes which she had
hung up By the stove, went out to call
upon a neighbor, leaving two or three
children locked in the house. Upon
returuirg she found the clothes on
fire and her youngest child almost
stifed with the smoke. Neighbors
attracted by her screams for help,
rushed to her assistance and extin-
guished the FIRE without material
damage to the building, This was a
narrow escape Of her children from a
terrible death, and should be warn
ing to persons to exercise caution and
prudence in such matters.

COMMON PLEAS COURT.-The only
case tried in this court, yesterday,
was that of Aston Shorter (colored)
vs. John f. Grill. Shorter brought
action against Grill to recover
money which be alleged to be due
him for services as the servant Of Col
Grill, while in the army. We believe
the amount claimed was several hun
dred dollars. The jury returned a
verdict in favor of Colonel Grill, de-
clariug Shorter 10 be indebted to him
in the sum of six dollars. This was
certainly an unexpected verdict to
Shorter. Hill appeared for plaintiff,
and DENLY for defendant. We under
stand that the plaintiff s attorney will
make motion tor a new trial, this
morning
In the case Of Schaetier vs.. S!ahl-
hoefer. tried on Tuesday, the jury
failed to agree, and were discharged.
The jury were out all night, and
were not released uptil yesterday
morning.

OPERA HoUsE. TO night, the mu-
sic loving people Of our city will turn
out en- aeasse to hear the Mendelsgohn
Quintette Club. From the number
of seats reserved at Scott's, up to last
night, We are satisfied that the Opera
House will be crowded from parquette
to gallery. As We have repeatedly
stated, this j, perhaps the finest mu-
sicsl organization in The country.
The great specialize upon which their
high reputation has been built. that
of quintette playing Of concerted
classical music, Is Of course a promi-
nent feature OF their programmes,
but they also offer 6ne selec-
tions of miscellaneous music. both
vocal and instrumental. Each is
a faultless performer individually.
while SO perfect is their sym
pathy and so thorough has been their
training during the twenty-one years
which sha Club has been organized,
that rhen together their playing
seems to proceed, not from five, but
from enc strong instrument of won
droUs power and beauty.
Miss Jenny Busk. who accompa-
nies them, is pronounced one Of the
finest Sopranos liviog, aud has al
ready won her laurels both in Europe
and the Eastern States. IF but
1.-THE of what the Eastern critics say
be true, the popularity which Miss
Busk has already achieved in this
country. may be readily understood.
They will remain one night ouly.

FoRD's TOBACCO WAREHoUsE.-
The large and splendid tobacco ware
house erected for Wm. S. Ford, Esq
the well known tobacco man. has
just been completed, and is model
warehouse. It is located on the cor
ner of Water and Goodsell Streets,
Lsmasco, and presents a fine appear
ance. The break-room is the
finest in the West. being one hundred
feet wide by one hundred and forty
feet deep. The building is splendidly
lighted. Mr.. Ford also has an addi-
tional apartment constructed specially
for seed leaf room. and has large
piece of ground adjoining the ware
house, which he can soon cover with
roof if ne desires to use the vacant
lot for storage purposes. The light
in the warehouse, at present, Is too
clear and brilliant, and the skylights
will shortly be painted so as 10 tone
down and soften the light. The brick
floor will shortly be rolled with an
immense iron roller, which will place
it in condition to bear the weight of
the heavy hogsheads of tobacco that
will be rolled and stood up on it.
In the front part Of the building,
q second story has been erected. for
use as an Office, and to store samples.
MIR. Ford's Office has been neatly and
tastefully fitted up. and b. has taken
up his quarters therein His sample
chests are exceIlently arranged, and
many of them now contain samples
of fine Havana and Connecticut to-
bacco.
This tobacco warehouse is an or
nament to the city The erection of
such building shows Mr.. Ford 5
confidence in Evansville as future
tobacco market. Such business en-
terprises are the best advertisements
that our city can get.
It is expected that there may
be tobacco sale at the new ware
house before long. but there viii be
no sale until there is enough on hand
to make large break" !"

HOME, SWEET HOME" - Last
night, about nine O'Clock, we heard a
quartette Of young scalaWags engaged
in whistiing Home. Sweet Home"
The thought struck US that they
should have been at hons some
time before. Our city is afflicted
with a lot of graceless boys, who
nightly hang around the Opera House
corner, and indulge in profanity and
obscenity that is really disgusting.
Parents should see that their bcys
remain at home during the evenings,
as there is no telling what kind Of
company they keep while bobbipg
around after night. Look TO the
boys.

TOOK THEM "STRAIGHr.n - We
heard a good joke on an old citizen,
yesterday, who has lately been suffer-
ing with bodily ailments, which his
physician said could only be removed
by a course of medicine. The Doctor
made up ten powders, to be taken
alternately, and to distinguish the
two kinds. marked FIVE of them with
an x. The sick man went home, on
Tuesday evening, and began taking
his medicine, but, in place of taking
as per directions, he took all those
marked with an x frst. These had
no particular effect upon him, and
yesterday morning he began on the
other kind, but with different result,
for the more he took the sicker he
became. The physician was sent for,
and upon examination found that his
directions had not been followed.
The Doctor asked why he did not
mix them-take them alternately-to
which the old gent. replied. with a
grim smile, that he had taken his'n
straight" for so many years, that he
thought it would also be the best way
to take the medicine. Another pre-
scription made matters all right. and
yesterday evening the gentleman was
on the streets again, ready to take
his'n straight"
