MONTREALs MERRYMAKING.
Opening of the Ice Pslace-Accidents from
TObogganing
Montreal Thursday


Tobogganing.
Montreal Special, Thursday.
The ice palace was opened in the evening
with cheers for the Queen and the President
and people of the United States as baptism
of red fire made the palace glow. The blue
lights of thousands of snowShoers in the
torchlight procession gave extraordinary
brilliancy to the scene Twenty thousand
upturned faces reflected the lights from the
palace, now CHASTITY with green, now glowing
with red, now blushing with purple and now
like blue devils with blue.' The white
snowshoers with their torches looked like
huge witches procession from Macbeth"
The palace was now opened formally Thou
sands rushed in, overturning the police and
overwhelming the band, who were playing
yankee Doodle" The torchlight process
sion slowly passed on up the mountain side
"a streak of fire leading like fiery serpent
all the way through the trees to the summit
Then they scattered and returned again to
town. The night very dark from clouds,
gave the ice palace good chance, as it shone
under the ever-changing fire. The toboggan
hills were ablaze with lights, but some slides
are closed to prevent accidents. Hundreds
and hundreds are skating by electric light on
the river. 1t is estimated that nearly DO, 900
people are on the streets.
Mr.. Hutchinson, the architect, whose design
of the ice palace was strictly carried out, has
taken scientific observations from the foun-
dation up as the work advanced, to measure
the changes, if any, in the dimensions. So
far he has discovered none. 1t was noticed
also as remarkable by scientific Observers how
readily and quickly the various blocks of ice
became cemented firmly together under pres
sure and without even the addition of water.
An eminent scientist remarks that this ex
plains the curious accommodation of glaciers
to the channels through which they pass.
The quantity of ice required for the edifice
was between 10000 and $4,000 cubic feet.
The front is adorned with national statues
sculptured in ice by a native artist On
each side of the entrance an Arctic hut, con-
structed of ice, has been erected. About two
hundred men, many with teams drawing
ice, we're engaged for several weeks in the
work, which all the principal contractors in
the city united in furthering in order to
have the building finished in time. The
cost is betrayed out of the large voluntary
fund subscrib ed by the citizens for the ex-
penses of the carnival.

The Saturday journal,

The Saturday edition of the Jsss nal has
taken such rank as to make it almost special
and independent paper. 1t is prepared to
meet the demand for a newspaper of the
highest class, filed with reading matter of
the best character, and thoroughly unobjec.
tlonable in every respect-a paper that
can be welcomed into every home and be a
companion at every tireside. 1t isa splendid
treasure-house of the best literary ability OF
Indiana, and, as such, is worthy the support
of the people. The Saturday Journal reaches
into the furthest limits -four territory in time
for Sunday reading, which Sunday paper
cannot possibly do, because of the lack of rail-
way facilities on that day 1t is also on hand
for the long hours of Saturday night The
Saturday Journal will be found to contain
that which will interest the old and the
young alike, the farmer, his wife and his
daughters, the literary man, the scholar the
politician, or simply the one who desires the
fullest news of the day. 1t already has much
wider reading than any other issue of the
week. and a greatly more extended and better
patronage than any daily published in the
State. Special contracts for advertising for
the Saturday edition are made, and special
subscriptions for it are received.

GENERAL WALLACE AT SHILOH.
The Absurdity of the Charge that He
Missed His Way in that Battle.


From General Alvin p. Hoyey's Paper.
General Wallace and myself have never
been what the world would call close or
bosom friends. Our natures, as the Spanish
would say are not simpatieo, but | know
and respect him as true, brave soldier and
a patriot, and can only feel Indignation at
the attempt to make him the ''Scape- goat"
for other mems mistakes and plumbers, and
deem it but justice to tell the truth in vindi-
cation of history and the right.
To say that Wallace missed his road to
Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing is more than
absurd. 1t is cruel criminal He and his
command repaired the road, made corduroys
culverts and the bridge across Snake creek,
and knew every inch of the route he was
commanded to march. Even the same his
torians give him credit as a roadmaker in
that locality. Yes, they admit he built the
Snake creek bridget 1t will be readily OBJ
served that his position on Sherman's right
or the right of W. H. l.. WaIlace's division,
as is indifferently stated by said historians,
was from one to two miles further from the
river to the west; and Sherman tells us he
fell back to the bridge across Snake creek,
so that Wallace might cross at that point.
But really before Wallace had been ordered
to march from Crump's Landing all our
forces had been driven back toward the river
from one to two miles, and even at that time
it would have been impossible for Wallace
to have taken the position to which he had
been ordered in the morning without strik-
ing the enemy in the rear. Seldom have
there been such chances for a great victory
as Wallace really had on the first day. At
the time he was commanded to march back
toward the river the rebels were robbing and
reveling in our captured camp, and quick,
sharp dash in their rear with the bayonet,
by his three gallant fresh brigades would
have scattered the victorious Confederate
army to the winds He could not have been
nlappd fortune a
favorable position than where he would
have struck the rebel rear; but it was not the
decree of fate that Wallace should be tbs
