siderable lapse of time Newberry has again
been treated to another musical feast by this
celebrated maestro, and his accomplished
anu charming daughter, Miss Amelia, as
sisted by Messrs. C. G. Jaeger on the Piano,
and VIM. Milan as second violin. and We arc
pleased to pronounce the concert, as far as
the distinguished performers were able to
make it, a brilliant success. But not so, we
regret to say, was it as to the size OF the audi
ence. True the notice was short and necesSa-
rily, but our music loving people who were
apprised of the promised concert, should have
shown greater appreciation for the master by
turning out in larger numbers. The hall was
only about two-thirds full, but we venture to
say, that each one of the number present
realized in full measure q sense Of the eS-
au!site entertainment afforded, and the
pleased attention and hearty applause given
was triumph in itself to the performers
1t is with pain we allude to this seeming in
difference 20 real merit, and wholesome,
pleasing entertainment; it should not be, and
reflects great discredit on our taste as re-
fined people. 1t is needless to name the
choice selections Of music rendered on that
occasion; it is sufficient to say that each piece
was gem, and that they were executed US
oplv first rates could do. Prof Schmitt
has not lost any Of his old power and softness
OF touch on his faVorite instrument, the
violin, if anything, he draws better bow
now than in the old times, and in the lapse
of time since we last met, Miss Amelia has
ripened not only into beautiful young lady,
but splendid performer. As the concert
was Prof. Schmi.t's, and the other gentle
men, above named, were only assistants
but we must say most able coadjutors-and
are withal entirely TOO modest to bear much
praise we will not put them to the blush by
giving full expression to the NEED OF praise
they are entitled TO. It is unnecessary be-,
de, for they are part and parcel of US, land are

delighted a whole generation by the nov
city, variety, ingenuity and grotesque-
ness of his invention. He had an unlim-
tied command of all the characters of
common life; dandy, highwayman,
a scholar, swindler or Jesuit, all flow
from his magical pen with equal fidelity
and facility; he has ransacked history
and culled all the choicest flowers of
fiction he is political writer of great
vigor, poet of some merit and origi-
nality, and has won such laurels as
translator may hope to attain. He is,
besides all this, brilliant debater, and
illustrates the dry debates of politics
with a profusion of epigram and anti
thesis to which no other can lay claim.
A liberal in his youth, a conservative in
his ripper years, he has seen both sides of
the shield, and knows which is silver and
which is golden. He has ransacked an
cient times for fresh subjects for his
genius, and revived the picture of the
corrupt Empire of Rome, with its wit,
its dissoluteness and luxury, at least as
wildly as any modern painter of ancient
manners, Such a man comes armed at
all points, and there should seem to be
no subject on which he could be taken

According to medical authority, the

to poultice the feet.

Desperate Battle with the nodocs.

San FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.
A dispatch from Yreka to-day states
that message had just arrived from the
headquarters of General Wheaton, com
handing the troops in action against the
Modoc Indians. A severe battle was
fought last Friday by the troops under
the command of General Wheaton, con.
sisting of two hundred and fifty regu-
lars, two companies of Oregon volun-
teers, twenty-five California ritlemen,
under Captain Fairchild, and few Klo-
moth Indians, making altogether about
four hundred men. The battle took
place near the eastern shore of Tule
Lake 1t appears that, Thursday, Cap
tain Bernard went around the north end
of the lake to the east side, and to the
east of Captain Jacks position. He was
to advance against Captain Jack from
the east, and General Wheaton from the
southwest, the force of the latter to be
under cover of the fire of Howitzer. On
Thursday night such dense fog envel-
oped the country that they could not see
forty yards. The two forces were then
about twelve miles apart, though to
communicate with each other, it was
necessary to go to a much greater dis
lance.
On Friday morning, Captain Bernard
opened the battle against Captain Jack,
who had about two hundred warriors
concealed among the rocks along a line
Of two miles in length. General Whea-
ton heard firing and had no alternative
but to move to the aid of Captain Ber-
nard, without the fire of the howitZers.
The troops fought an unseen foe from
eight o'clock in the morning to dark,
under a terrific fire, during which
scarcely one Indian was seen. The loss
to the troops was forty killed and wound
ed. The loss to the Modocs is unknown
The troops were finally obliged to re-
treat to their camps. Bernard's forces
bore the brunt of the battle and suffered
terribly All the cavalry fought on
foot Among the killed are Frank
Trimble and J. r. Brown of Oregon.
G. w. Roberts was mortally wounded
Captain Perry of the regulars and Lieu
tenant Kyle were slightly wounded. The
movement is called forced recon
noisance Of Captain Jacks position,
which the leaders say that they will take,
but one thousand men will be required
to dislodgc him from the lava beds. The
troops, for the present, will only try to
prevent the Modocs from raiding on the
settlements and will wait for reinforce
ments.

Death, ever busy reaper, strikes
quick and fast thus early in the new
year On Saturday, Lord Lytton, wider
and better known as Sir Edward /. Bull
wer, was added to his many victims. He
died at the age of sixty-eight, having for
upwards of fifty years held front rank
as a writer and, for nearly forty years,
been intimately connected with the poll
tics of Great Britain. Probably no
writer, who has arrived at distinction in
British literature and oratory, has more
delighted his friends and COMPOUNDED
his enemies than Lord Lytton. Upon
the appearance of his first novels, as
we'll as his first drama, it was confident
ly predicted that he would never make a
writer. His answer is in his numerous
novels and plays, known and read by
all men. So, on his first attempts at
public speaking, he could not be intelli-
gently heard or understood at a distance
of three feet, yet he lived to rank among
the foremost of the eloquent orators of
Great Britain. How did he obtain these
great triumphs? Only by persistent,
steady study and practice with the deter
mination to excel. Here is an example
for our youth, that they would do well
to study and follow. Nulla .fana sine
lahore was his motto, and he worked
and acted by it. OF course his charac-
ter and reputation as a man of letters
and as statesman and orator will be
rated differently by different individuals,
and 1t is impossible to anticipate what
may be the verdict of posterity, but we
are fain to believe that it will substan-
italy accord with the summing up of
London 1tnss some years ago. ''He has

ELoPEMENT. We read of an elope-
ment remarkable for some of its par
ticulars, which has just agitated Newton,
Mass. A young married man named
Train had in his employ young woman,
Miss Norris, with whom he fell in love.
The pair determined to elope during the
absence of Mrs. Train. The trunks We're
@early packed the carriage was at the
door; everything, in short, was about
ready for the guilty flight, when, IN the
most provoking manner, the injured
wife made her appearance. But the
wicked husband was equal to the en-
Urgency. He unblushingly avowed his
purpose of flying with Miss Norris, and,
in order to make things pleasant, locked
his wife up until he had finished pack
ing, when the guilty couple drove away
to the station, and thence vanished into
space, with a good deal of borrowed
money. The last mentioned fact has
stimulated pursuit, and there is some hope
that Train may be caught and served as
he served his unfortunate wife. Such

GERMAN TRIUMPH OVER CONQUERED
FRANCE German Imperial Crown
has resolved, apparently, that the French
people shall not forget the humiliations
which their country endured in the late
war Eighty-six French flags captured
in battle were solemnly placed in the
garrison church Of Potsdam, yesterday,
for the decoration of the walls of the
building. His Majesty Emperor VIII
liam, the Empress Augusta, the Imperial
Princes and a number of the most dis
tinguished commanders of the army
were present. The scene was complete
ly national, of a compound of military,
religious and corporate citizen character.
The Emperor addressed the assemblage,
and thanked the army for its heroism,
pronouncing, like unto an infallibist, the
eternity of its glory. Whether France
will accept the dogma. now that Napo-
leon is dead, remains to be seen.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE. = Nellie
Magernie, native of Pittsfield, and a
young woman of extraordinary beauty,
died of starvation and poison at St.
Paul, Mimi, last week, at the age of
~ years, under very painful circum-
stances. Her father was at one time
wealthy, and gave Nellie thorough ed
ucation. He died insolvent, leaving his
daughter friendless in cold world.
-Four or five years ago she went to St.
Paul and tried to earn living by max
ing vests in tailoring establishment,
but her want of skill and highly sensi-
tive disposition prevented success, and
she tried other means of earning an
honorable support, till her health gave
way and she was found, one morning,
by the family with whom she roomed,
in dying condition from starvation and
the effects of opium taken to relieve
her pain. Medical assistance was futile
and she died soon after.

More Sick Horses.

The eerebrO-spinal meningitis, by
which mysterious term is designated the
species Of horse disease common in the
latter part of the winter and the first of
spring, has made its appearance in Bos-
ton, in both public and private stables.
This disease must, of course, be distin-
guished from the epiZOotic, which ran
through the country last fall. While
not so alarming in its nature as the
malady which so ragged in the autumn of
last year, it requires careful attention,
inasmuch as horses appear to die Of this
disease even more, in proportion, than
of the epiZOOtic. The best care and
treatment is imperatively demanded, and
there seems to be no reason to doubt
that the veterinary profession are alive
to their duties in this matter. The
cerebro-spinal menengitis is not like the
horse epidemic of last year, a new and
unknown thing; and consequently both
doctors and stable owners feel confident
that the disease can he speedily brought
under control, and that no serious injury
to business will result from its prevail
ence at this time The Metropolitan
company have about fifteen horses sick;
the Highland company four or five only,
while the number afflicted with the di
sease in private stables it is of course
impossible to give. In all these cases it
is to be hoped that the best of care will
be taken of those horses which are sick,
and that all necessary precautions against
the spread of the disease viii be taken
The horse railroad companies, it is pleas
ant to state, are taking every pains to
procure the best treatment for their
sick animals. Some seem to fear that
this horse disease will be a repetition of
the epidemic of last year, and that all
precautions will be unable to prevent
The malady from running its course but
those who are IN position to know are
very confident that the disease will, if
even common care and precaution is
taken, he soon overcome and cradicated.
