BISHOP'S BECEPTION.
An Indiana Welcome Given to Bishop Knickerbacker at the Terre Haute House
Last Night.
Bishop Knickerbacker arrived in the city yesterday morning and will remain until to-morrow, during which time he will be the guest of Mr. Lewis B. Martin. It was expected that Mrs. Knickerbacker would visit Terre Haute at this time with the bishop but she was unavoidably detained in Indianapolis. Yesterday the bishop made a tour of the city, and reports that he was very much pleased and surprised to find that Terre Haute was such a large, handsomely built go ahead place as it is. In the afternoon he met the vestry of St. Stephens church in the parlors of the Prairie City bank, where an informal talk was had relative to the condition of the church. Last night a reception was tendered to him at the parlors of the Terre Haute house, at which there was not only a unanimous outpouring of the parish, but a large representation from the membership and clergy of the other Christian denominations. From 8 until 10 o'clock there was a constant stream of visitors, all of whom the bishop welcomed with cordial grasp of the hand and a few pleasant words, that proved him to be a gentleman of most genial nature and liberal ideas. The presentations were made by Dr. Stephen J. Young, senior warden of the church. After all the visitors had been individually presented, Dr. Young called the assembly to order, and the bishop made few remarks. He said, "You have made me feel so at home that I hardly think it is necessary for me to assure you of the pleasure it affords me to meet with so many pleasant people, You have extended to me a most cordial reception and I am delighted with your people and the city of Terre Haute. Its prosperity, its growth and its magnitude has indeed been a surprise to me. Your beautiful church has made me feel at home imd I will use the utmost diligence to secure for you a rector. I know that good, solid work has been done for the church in this community, but there is still a great and good work to do, and if only the church people will unite for one common purpose great progress will be made in the Lords work here. I felt great trepidation in connecting myself with this work, a field that has been occupied by the saintly Kemper, the faithful Upfold and the devoted, earnest Tulman. I can only ask for your prayers, but I meet so many manly men that I feel encouraged in the work before me. I feel that a bright day is in store for the diocese of Indiana, and I will use all my power, as God gives me power, to further in your midst the great and holy cause of the church. I want you to feel that you must not depend on the bishop alone to further the cause of Christ there is a bright prospect before us, and each one of us must do our share and look to God to bless and prosper our labor. With a hearty support of the laity, standing shoulder to shoulder, I know the church will achieve glorious results in Indiana. Such proud and prosperous cities as Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Evansvil'le, Lafayet'.-, Logansport and others, I might name should all enjoy tiio blessings of God's holy church. If we are ever to conquer Lli is grand state the laity must go to work. In only forty of the ninetyfour counties of the state is the church established, and during the time that God spares me to be with you I shall look for your hearty, Christian cooperation in spreading the cause of Christ throughont Indiana. I thank you again for the welcome you have given me and shall ask the blessings of God to rest upon the church and people of Indiana."
To-day the bishop w'll hold services at St. Stephen's church, morning and evening, and also take part in the Sunday school exercises. All who had the pleasure of meeting him last night were delighted with his bearing. He is just in the prime of life, with a face that beams with good nature, and indicates a mind and heart full of Christian grace. His welcome to this city was most cordial, and he expressed in warm terms his obligations for the kind and social manner in which he had been received.
General Ben P. Runkle, a retired army officer, who was the bishop's missionary in the Minnesota diocese, will be located in this state, in the same capacity, and will conduct the services at St. Stephen's, two weeks from to-day,

Close application to business, attention to the wants of customers, and a free use of printers' ink, will always succeed in building up a good trade, as attested by the success of J. H. Nelgen, 660 Main street. Aside from having the largest trade in the city in the way of cleaning, dyeing, repairing and scouring clothing, he has now in running order his two new departments— coloring of feathers, and embroidery stamping. It is not necessary to say that his success is as great in the two latter as in the former, for his work speaks for itself.
The old adage: "Lay up for a rainy day," applies as well to "a cold day.' The wise man will see the application of this when informed that coal of all kinds is cheaper now than for many years past, and that it is only a question of a little time when prices will be considerably advanced. While on this subject it may be well to remark that at no place in the city can you obtain a better quality of coal, either block or anthracite—in quantities to suit—than of the Coal Bluff Mining Co., corner of Lafayette street and I. & St. L. R. R. This reliable firm also handles wood of the best kind.

Buried Treasure.
Laredo Times.
It has been a tradition in New Laredo ever since the occupation of Mexico by General Taylor's army that on the evacuation of that country by said army there was a great amount of old Bourbon whiskey buried somewhere in the environs of New Laredo by General Taylor before crossing the river. Last Sunday Tom Gallegher started on foot to the outskirts of the town. He extended his walk some distance, and soon approached an arroyo that makes into the Rio Grande just above town. He had not proceeded far before he noticed some rather peculiar#mounds just tooneside of the bed of tKe creek. He got a sharp stick and began to dig, when he found a brown stone jar. He quickly opened it, and discovered that he had in his hand two gallons of the finest Bourbon whisky that ever made a man drunk. He tasted it so many times before he got home that he was rather unable when he did arrive. After a few hours' sleep he took a couple of men and proceeded to the arroyo, where they succeeded in unearthing ten two^allon jugs of that historical whisky, which is now thirty-seven years old. .-i?
Mexico will never be inhabited to any great extent by Anglo-Saxon, according to Don Patricio Milmo, a wealthy capitalist of Monterey, for the very good reason that there istoo much available land in the United States for people to settle on rather than cast their lot among Spaniards and Italians in Mexico. Those English speaking people who are now there are generally adventurers, with no money, "'but plenty of brass and wind," and Don Patricio predicts their downfall and final expulsion in the course of time.

THE TERRR HAUTE EXPRESS. SUNDAY HORNING. NOVEMBER 11.1883
HE DYES TO LIVE.
And in His Spare Momenta Gives •way toan Exprees Reporter the Secrete of Hie
Trade.
"I presume you meet with some strange experiences in yonr business, remarked an Express ambassador to a well known dyer yesterday. "Yes, occasionally" replied the man of colors." "It was only a few months ago that a disconsolate husband whose wife had just died brought a pair of white kid slippers in here for me to dye black which I had cleaned for his dead wife previous to her marriage a year or so ago." "And did you dye them?" "Of course I did. Business is business, you know, and she was buried in the same slippers she was married in, only the color was changed, and the worst thing of all about it is that I have not yet been able to* get my pay from the husband for dj4hff those slippers, and now he has married again, and I suppose I never will be paid. I sometimes have a notion to send the bill to his new wife, state the circumstances, and perhaps, she would pay it. But there was a funny thing happened last summer which I will tell you if you will promise not to publish it." "All right, fire away, we cross our heart not to breath it!': said the reporter. "Well, there was a wedding among the upper tendom of society in this city, and the bride was arrayed in one of the most elegant white satin dresses you ever saw. I believe it was made by a fashionable New York dressmaker. Well, as 1 said before, she was married, and within a few hours after the ceremony bad been performed, she was being whirled over the rail in a palace car bound for New York, and would you believe it, that before herself and husband reached Cincinnati I had that dress in my pot being dyed a beautiful red." "I have no reason to douDt your word, providing yon swear to it." "Well, it's a fact, the garment was sent to me within one hour after the marriage. A colored servant brought the dress here, accompanied by a high ly perfumed note written by the bride herself, which stated that a white dress would never suit her complexion and Bhe hoped I would have it dyed a cardinal red by the lime she returned from her wedding tour, in ten days." "Of course ydu dyed it?" "Indeed I did business is business, you know, as I stated before, and in ten days the lady came and got the dress, but returned a few days later and said her husband had several times wanted to know why she never wore the beautiful white satin she was married it that she bad made all excuses possible, but her husband insisted that she should array herself in her wedding robee." "Well, why did she come to you again?" "Why, she wanted irie to dye the dress white, or in other words, restore it to its natural color." "Of course you did it?" "Of course I did not, the thing is impossible. You can dye a white garment any color desired, but you cannot dye a colored dress white." "Then that is one of the loat arts?"
Lost, no indeed, it never was found. Why, don't you know I could retires millionaire in no time if I could dye a colored garment white?" "But the lat|y, what did Bhe do about again appearing before her husband in her white satin wedding dress?" "She sold an elegant diamond ring for $300, sent the money to New York, and had a duplicate of the dress made and during the time the dress was being made she feigned sickness and kept her bed, so that her husband would not think of asking her to wear the dress, but as soon an the duplicate arrived she got out of bed, and wh the husband returned home from his office that night, he not only found his wife fully restored to health, but adorned in what he supposed to be her original wedding dress?" "But the diamond ring she sold to procure money for the drets, didn't her husband miss it?" "No indeed, she arranged that by purchasing a fac simile made of Hot Springs' diamonds for $7, and her husband don't know tbe difference. Now, don't you say anything in the Express about this?" "Of course not but 'tell me something else." "Well, let me see. Oh, yes, a widow, who was recently remarried brought fl light suit of clothes here the other day, which belonged to her first husband." "What did she want done with them?" "Why, what do you suppose? She wanted them dyed black, so she could present them to her second husband as a birthday present." ..Did you dye them?" "I did." "Did she present them "She did/' "Didn't husband No. 2 tumble?" "He didn't." "That settles it good evening." "Good evening call Bome other evening." "Not this year thank you." v.
Miss May McBwao's Concert. Communicated. The many friends and admirers of "our own May" (and who is not both a friend and admirer of her?) have persuaded her to consent to be the recipient of a concert at the Opera house on Friday evening the 23rd. Miss McEwan's kindness in always so promptly responding to every demand upon her to appear in public for the benefit of every other person but herself, entitles her surely to the most cordial patronage of all classes of our people. As she is so eminently a popular favorite there are no fears but that she will receive a magnificent ovation upon this occasion, especially as the entertainment will be first-class in every respect Both Miss Helen Jeffers and Miss Elora Keller, either of whom can command a full sitting at our Opera houfce, appear and assist upon occasion. Prof. Leibing and Mr. Allyn Adams have kindly volunteered their services. Miss Belle Closser, of Indianapolis, a natural young elocutionist and one who is not a victim of that modern elocutionary training which has ruined so many aspiring young artists and has shocked and horrified so many thousand audiences, will appear and show the superiority of nature over modern so-called art, in a number of select recitations, intruding James Whitcomb Riley's gem, "That Old Sweetheart of Mine." The entertainment will be worthy of the fair young beneficiary, and we know will receive the most liberal patronage of our citizens. M.
A BmuurfeaMa Peach.
Furdy, of the Fruit Recorder, has discovered a remarkable peach. J. C. Kilboro, of Canada, sent him a lot of the peaches which kept from ten to sixteen days, only one of them showing signs of decay. It ripens between the Alexander and Hale, is abont with tbe former in si fee, free stone, good flavor, small pit, thick meated and of beautiful appearance. The tree from which these were picked is a seedling, and has borne regularly for five years and has shown no rot, while nearly all other kinds in the same orchard were rotting badly.
The tree has the great merit of bearing every year, in a very severe climate, and may thus be considered perfectly hardy and reliable as a bearer. A second merit is its earliness ripening before any other good peach. A third merit in its favor is its entire freedom from rot and its splendid shipping quality. Then its large size and fine color commend it to fruit shippers. No other so early peach of any size is so entirely freestone as this. We will be glad to have this peach tried in this section.
The Hale, Amsden, Alexander and all that class of peaches have proven untrustworthy here. Should this new Canadian peach sustain its good name when grown here, it will supplant all other early varieties in our orchards. We give it this extended notice because we are in serious need of anew good peach, and as this one is being largely propagated it will undoubtedlv be soon offered for sale to our peach growers.
Fifteen and twenty dollar bouquets are to be dispensed with this winter among the "best" people of the metropolis, and only the tinieist bunches of flowers are to be in favor.

ANew and Simple Cure (or Diseases of the Stomach.
It is a conceded fact that buttermilk possesses many curative qualities for all diseases of the stomach and liver. It is recommended by the best physicians. A glass of good fresh buttermilk is a delightful drink nnder any circumstances, and it is astonishing that it is not more freely used. The Woodland Creamery agency, 914 Chestnut street keeps only the purest and best creamery buttermilk. Persons who a few weeks ago on the recommendation of their physicians began drinking extensively of creamery buttermilk have been cured of aggrevated stomachic troubles, which had baffled the skill of the physicians. These statements can be verified by calling on Mr. D. Hawkins, 914 Chestnut street. Tbe creamery buttermilk to be found at 914 Chestnut street is received fresh daily and will be found to be pure and wholesome. Call or telephone quantities of a half gallon or up will be delivered free.

Caution.
By years of unremitting effort, MESSES. DECKER BROTHERS have established a high reputation for their pianos, not only throughout this coun try, but the world over, and it is not, therefore, to be wondered at that persons were found ready to pirate the firm name of DECKER BROTHERS, and attempt to impose upon the public a number of inferior instruments by creating the impression that they were the justly celebrated DECKER PIANOS. There are always men who, lacking both tbe ability and industry to make honorable reputation for themselves, are ready to make a dishonorable living by trading upon the hard-earned reputation of some repectable house. Nearly every first-class manufacturer in this country has suffered at the hands of such persons. DECKER BROTHERS were no exception to the rule.
It is, therefore, necessary that intending purchasers of genuine DXCKBR Piano-Fortes should exercise the greatest circumsjiection in order that they may not be deceived by specious arguments and fraudulent misrepresentaions. To protect the public and to guard their own interests, DECKER BROTHERS have, at various times, instituted legal proceedings against infringers upon their rights. Their efforts were crowned with complete success injunctions having been obtained in every case against tbe guilty parties. The courts of law have established beyond con troversy that the only piano known to tbe public and to the Piano Trade as "THE DECKER" PIANO—(also known as DECKER BROTHERS' PIANO) and DECKER PIANO is manufactured by
