is to be regretted that the Republican# in the Fifth ward were not more vigilant and earnest on last Tuesday. It has come to our notice that at least a dozen Republicans of the Fifth ward failed to tfo near the polls on that day. This action on the part of Republicans demonstrates that no good results can be accomplished without (Treat labor
THE State National Greenback Convention of North Carolina met at (ireenaboro ye*terday, There were four delegates present and »nc of these wius ti Republican Postmaster. After a very noisy time mi executive committee for the State waa chosen and delegate* to the National Convention at Chicago, June 0th were appointed.
KEEP AT THE 000D W0BK. Now that the city election is over, and the Republican party has come out of the contest so victoriously, it behooves ever)' one who has an interest in the welfare of our county affairs to awake and lie pre pared to meet the old enemy this fall.
We have broken up the old city ring, which has l*»en such a powerful engine of fraud, and we must now look to affairs around the Court House, and if the County affairs are administered in the name manner that the city offices have been, we must, without hesitancy, pre}are to remedy the evil.
There have been many complaints made to us in regard to the manner in which tho Grand Jury system is conducted, and if thoae complaints are true there will be such a scrambling among the dry bones of Democracy next fall as will surprise every one. We are working for tha public good, and will strike at every thing where reform is needed.
AH AFFLICTED FAMILY.
A strange disease has recently made its appearance in the family of Andrew tdiaw, of Oxford, Indiana, which has excited the atteu of the doctors, and resulted in the death of fout of Mr. Shaw's children during the past three weeks, A swelling in the throat, with a few hours' attendant sickness, and death ensues. The most skillful physicians have been employed, and everything done that science could suggest, to determine tho nature of the disease and arrest it* progress, but so far no success has attended their efforts, every ca,io having resulted fatally. Out of seven children, four have died suddenly, and great fear Is expressed that the end is not yet. Aside from the disease leing treated throat, it bears no resemblance to diphtheria, and the physicians seem to be united in the opinion that it is not diphtheria, and can not locate it.
HOLY THURSDAY.
Ascension Day is one of the movable festivals of the Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches, kept in commemoration of the nscention of Jesus, recorded by St, Mark to have happened on the fortieth day after his resurrection. It ia kept on Thursday, and t^e day is nlso called Holy Thursday. It has been observed at least aine© A. D.. 68. In the fifth century Maenertus, Bishop of Vienna, instituted a-three-days" preparation for this festival This occupies the three days immediately preceding Holy Thursday, which are called rogation days. From the year A. IX 432, it has been a law of the Latiu Church that these three days should be observed annually with processions and supplications to secure a blessing on the priests of the earth and the temporal interests of men, and though discontinued by the Church of England at the Reformation, they are still ohsenr ed as private fasts, and in the Book of Homilies we find a homily divided into three parts, specially designed for the improvement of the*# three day*. It is customary in London to solemnly observe Ascension Day. The Block Exchange is rlo*ed and all unnecessary business s«s pended. The Episcopalian as well as the Catholic church observe this day of commemoration of the glorious ascention of the Messiah into Heaven and openlog the kingdom of Heaven to all believers, and it is but natural, owing to the resemblance of all their customs,, rites ami rer eroonie*

TtopiE flpurrE. Mav 5 —At the election of yesterday 5,001 votes were polled, the largest In the history «*theSj&T-
th,at
number the Republicans polled -,800. the Democrats 2.006 and the Nationals 103 the Bepubllcan plurality being 774. about 75 votes more than their plurality at the April election. In the evening about 3,000 persons, headed by two bands of music, marched to the Terre Haute House, where ther were addressed by Hon. Thos. Nelson, after which one of the newly elected Conncilmen was serenaded. The Fifth Ward will probably be contested, asH i* known that some illegal Demcratic votes were cast. The success of the Republicans has been the result of a most thorough organization. The Y. M. R. C\, which now numbers 550 member?, were out in full force and did most effective service. John O. Hardestv, through the medium of the Courier, which now goes into everj' household in the country: M. N. Dial, the chairman of the city committee. and the Exprttt have leen of the greatest benefit to the party. The effort* of each have been untiring. Vigo county is now Republican bv a large majority.— fndianapoU* Journal, fa-day.
Of coarse the TERMS HAUTE DAJI.Y NEWS can claim no honor in the Republican victory, according to the J'tftrnal'* correspondent.
We know the name of the Journal'* correspondent, and we know him to be a political sucker, and we further have an eye on him. He will be a candidate one of these One mornings, and he will see if the NEWS don't amount to something as a factor in politic*.
At the funeral of ('has. De Y«-urm at San Francisco the other day, an old lady trudged feehly^up the steps and enlertd the linll and desired to be shown the casket. She had in lygr hand a boquet of flowers, and wished to place them on if. A gen tleman offered to take them for her, but she said no, and from her voice and eyes the gentleman saw that she was weeping. "I want to put theni there myself if I may," she said timidly. "I picked them myself because I loved him." "Did you know him?" asked a friend of the family. "No but I know what he did for his mother, and I love him, and I'm sorry, s« sorry," said she. as she gently laid her offering beside the oth ers.
It was less pretentious than some of them. It was a lot of miscellaneous flowers, the evident product of some humble garden, carelessly joined by the feeble hands that brought them, but there was a breath of kindliness and a wealth of loving pity adorning it, with which no florist's art could endow it, and which made more than one share the sorrow of the old lady, who, all unknown, wept beside the form of the dead son and brother. ____________________
Reverence.
A Minnesota correspondent sends the following We have had for many years in this county, ns Clerk of the District Court, an intelligent and eareful German, wfeo, during the session of the Court, was very fas tg tidious about violations of decorum. Recently, in an important trial, a somewhat "bumptious" young man from the rural districts was called as a witness, and took his place on the stand without removing his hat. He was told to hold up his hand, which he did, and the Clerk proceeded to administer the customary oath, reading it from the statute. He had read about half way through, when, happening to glance up over his spectacles, he noticed that the witness had not removed his hat. The Clerk slowly lowered the book, and, gazing intently at the young man. said
Look here, sir, when you swear before me and Gott. take off your hat, air!"
Our Bodies After Death.

This circle of changes h|s been going on ever since man became an occupier of the earth. He feeds on the lower animals and oil the seeds of plants, which in due time become a part of himself. The lower animals feed upon the herbs and grasses, which, in their turn, become the animal: then, by its death, again pass into the atmosphere, and Sire ready once more to be assimilated by plants, the earth or bone substance alone remaining where it is deposited, and not even there unless prosecuted as a common swindler.
An iffni* faluus in the shape of balls of fire was seen *to rise out or the Brushy Fork. Wednesday night, at a point South of town, Several of our citizens witnessed this rare sight, which continued nearlv tfr milte all night. A ball of fire appeared to rise slowly out of the water to the tons of the trees, when it would increase in size for a minute or two, then return to its former sire and shoot down into the water like an arrow. Several of these balls were seen simultaneously. They resembled the balls projected from a Roman candle.—AVtrm/jn Independent.

SPRING GREETING.
Spring has come, and considerably abend of its usual time. Yet we have anticipated the coming, and are pleased to offer our customers and friends such a line of Clothing and Furnishings as has been rarely if ever seen in this market. Our shelves and counters are full of beautiful goods, elegant in style, select iu materials, and perfect in workmanship. Our ample capital and larg£ resources have never availed us greater advantage in manufacturing clothing than at the present time, and we propose to give our customers all the benefit from it that is possible.
Having preconceived the idea of a heavy advance in woolens, we bought largely of staples before the advance, and to-day we are able to offentoour customers these woolens manufactured into cloth at but a slight advance fever last year's prices, and at least 20 per cent, less than othef. 'dealers can buy the same in New York. ^4
Since occupying our present room oui*jusiness has so vastly increased that we have been compelled to enlarge our already spacious room, that we may the better accommodate our daily increasing trade. The additions made are in the rear of our present room, and will be used exclusively as our Boys' and Children's Department, being neatly carpeted and furnished with chairs, sofas, tables, mirrors, etc.
We havo never been fixed so well ns now to add to the com forts and wants of our customers. In our selections of cloth, nnd manufacture of Boys' and Chilldren's clothing, we certainly never had such an array of beauty in design of cloth and makeup in style as we arc able to present to the citizens of Terre Haute and vicinity this Spring.
While others have croaked we hav^worked, nnd that, our work has been effective, not only for our own benefit but for the good of the people at large, is attested by tho generous pntronage we have been accorded. Be assured it is cheering to re ccive such tokens of appreciation, and we shall not remit our efforts to merit them hereafter. We havo no occasion to disparage our neighbors, and have no complaints to offer of honorable and fair competition. We transact our business on strictly business principles buy in large quantities such goods as we do not manufacture at our own mills manufacture our own cloth ing: sell to consumers at the same price that the New York Job ber charges the ordinary merchant.: sell for cash only, and thereby save all loss from bad debts mark our goods in plain figures and never deviate therefrom have spacious store rocrms and gentlemenly salesmen with whom it is a pleasure to deal, and our guarantee is absolute and unqualified.
We shall be pleased to serve you. A personal visit will af ford you more satisfaction than what we can say here, and we would most gladly welcome you in our new quarters.
