Terre Haujte alread^ haa beenjvidely advertised.

The Standard Oil company by accredited representatives is visiting Terre Ilaute at present. The Standard company generally appears on the scene when there is a chance for big money the oil or natural gas business.

It is very diflicult to learn anything from the shrewd gentlemen who have suddenly dropped in on Terre Haute from the oil and gas regions of Ohio and Pennsylvania as to what their candid opinion is of the find, but the cumulative evidence is that they believe natural gas also will be found.

Mr. Joseph Jefferson as Rip Van Winkle will be at the Opera house this evening. It is not likely thatMr. Jeffer son will again be seen in the character in Terre Haute. The personation is like a good book—its merits and pleasureaffording qualities increase with ac quaintance. But there are many of the younger theater-goers who have not seen Mr. Jefferson in the great personation and they, above all others, should miss no opportunity to see this artistic ideal, which will be recorded in the years to come as one of the most delightful comedy representations ever seen on the stage.

VANITY AND PARTISANSHIP.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Gazette, is much exercised over the result o? the visit of Mr. George W. Faris to Washington, where he went as an emis sary to secure the recognition due Vigo Republicans in the distribution of federal patronage. The information which caused our contemporary to become angry was given in THE EXPRESS yesterday morning and consisted of a list of names of new fourth-class postmasters and the Bimple announcement that the name of the postoflice at Ellsworth had been changed to "Edwards" from "Ball." The Gazette reprinted the dispatch as it appeared in Tur. EXPRESS, with the exception of the two lines as to the change of name of the postollice and there's the rub. Several years ago the name of this postoflice was changed to do honor to the Gazette proprietors and editors. There was a claim that the change was necessary because of duplication but the claim was not founded on fact. Now the Gazette devotes a column to abuse of Mr. l'\iris, but, mind you not based on the true cause of offense, information of whichf.it suppressed, but ostensibly because one or two Republican postmasters who had been appointed in pursuance of the resignation and purpose of Democrats after the defeat of Mr. Cleveland were removed to make room for other Republicans. It was an old trick and did not win, and the name of the postottice at Ellsworth is Edwards.

Minnie Won't you come to the kissing sociable to-night'.' Mamie-What's that?

Minnie—Why, the young men are bllndtolded and allowed to kiss the girls, you know. It's for charity's sake, you see.

Mamie No, I think 1 won't go. A young man might kiss you for Charity's sake—If lie were blindfolded but 1 can get along very well under present conditions.

Mrs. Browne I'm afraid you are getting into your old card-playing habits again. And you promised me so faithfully to break yourself of all such things.

Mr. Browne—Well, I generally do break myself every time 1 sit into the game.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Macon ((in.) Telegraph: The country would be astonished to find that Porter is a coward, but would not be even mildly surprised It Butler were shown to be a liar.

Philadelphia Press: Blsop Potter sees only the blue In the stars and stripes. But the red and the white are still there, notwithstanding his dreadful color blindness.

Buffalo Commercial: Unlike his predecessor, President Harrison has intrusted the duty ot supervising the execution of the civil service laws only to men known to be In sympathy with them.

Denver Times: Felix Adler thinks "the newspapers most Important function is that of weathercock." He Is mistaken. The newspaper holds in Its list the political winds, the moral tempests, and the social breezes, and sends them out at will. The politicians, the professional moralists and the social leaders are the weathercocks.

Boston Globe: The swell amateur circus performance In which the elect of the elect of New

York

society posed as clowns, rode barebacked horses, and jumped through hoops for the benelit of their friends suggests pictures of the declining days of the Roman empire. To thosj wholesome citizens who believe that work ano action are the duUes of every man In the world there Is something inexpressibly disgusting aboUt Such a display of well-bred folly.

'ONE OF THE TIGERS."

[A. C. Gordon, in St Louis Post-Dispatch. [CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY MORNING. I

The sprained ankle throve apace uh der the Dunkard housewife's wholesome medicaments and once more the Tiger's thoughts turned battlewarda. Two weeks had passed by, and at their end he found himself able to hobble, about with com parative ease. H^

The girl had spent many hours in his presence, pausing amid the whirlings of her wheel to listen attentively to stories of the daring deeds of his Tigers, or of the days long ago when he had been a lad in Louisiana. Her serenity and sweet companionship charmed him, and was remorsefully conscious during such times that his desire for the scenes of strife and battle was certain.

The early evening meal was ended and by the light of a "tallow dip" the Dunkard preacher read a chapter from the Bible. The Tiger found his lame foot strong enough to enable him to do what he had not done for many years, save to get a a steadier aim at an enemy. He knelt down while the man of peace :ayed that the sun might not long con iSL-.to set on the wrath of the men, his

B,

and! that there might be a

speedy cessation of the wicked from their troubling. When the prayer was finished they sat about the room in silence. The moon came over the Blue Ridge, and its light flooded the threshold of the wide open door with a radiance that finally faded away in the light of the garish candle on the stand near the chimney, where a summer moth was singeing its ephemeral wings. "Let's go to bed, Eli," said the Dunk ard mother and when they had left the room the soldier whispered to the girl at his right hand: "It's a beautiful night. Will you help me to the stile, Eglah?"

She gave him her arm, as she had often done before, and together they went out of the house. "I am going away to-morrow," he said abruptly, as they passed down the short walk. He felt the tremor that ran over her at his words. They sat down, side by side, upon the stile. A whippoorwill piped his dolorous note from the direc tion of Port Republic. The air was sweet with odors of thr early honeysuckles on the paling fence. "You'll be glad ter go," she said "you think of nothin' but war an' death an' sorrow." "I am going to look for peace," he an swered with a smile. "I'll find it some day." He paused and added—"when I die." "What makes you talk that way?" she asked.reproachfully. "Stay here. This is peace."

She looked up at him. In her blurred vision his face was glorified. "You have taken me in for humanity's sake," he said, sadly. "You will do no less for the next who comes than you have done for me. Is it not so? It is written over your door."

She made no reply. "In the eyes of your faith," he continued, "I am a red-handed murderer, unfit for association with such as you and yours."

For answer she laid her hand in his. "Eglah," he said, and his voice was very tender, "tell me that you will think of me sometime^when I am gone away. I have been almost happy here with you."

She hesitated for a moment. Then she replied: "I say it—and more!"

He drew her to him. She laid the culy gold-brown head on his shoulder contentedly. "This is peace," he whispered but it •night have been to the night or to his heart, so low was his voice.

You air going to stay, now," she said, assuredly. "Let us not talk of that to-night, Eglah. When the war ends we shall be married, you and I and we'll go back to the old place in Louisiana for a little while, and then return to live and die here in this valley. "To live an' die here in this valley," she echoed his words softly. Then she lifted her head and asked: "It's very far away, ain't it?" "Very far but we will go there. It is where I lived with my mother." "Farthe'n Tuckahoe?" "Tuckahoe! Where is Tuckahoe?" "In eastern Ferginyeh, beyon' the Ridge."

He smiled and said: "Very much farther than that." "I'll go if you want me," she made answer and the head returned to its resting place.

On the morrow he stood in the presence of the little family, with the dingy red fez in his hand. "Good-bye," he said to the elder woman "I can never forget your kindness, madam."

Air you goin' back to the fightin'?" she asked. "Yes." "You'd better bide here 'twel it's over'n and ended. We'll be glad fur you to stay. There's work enough fur two about the place."

She looked at her husband, who nodded ready acquiescence. "That would be desertion," the soldier said, smilingly. But the prospect seemed alluring to him. "That 'ud be servin' God," she answered.

He shook his head and bade them all good bye, one after the other, and Eglah last, stooping to kiss little Eli's round brown poll in his turn. "Then he started on his way. The girl saw him climb slowly over the stile. "He's furgot sump'in," she said, and hastened after him. He looked back and saw her coming. As their eyes met she haned to him across the pailing fence a small object, which she drew from the bosom of her dress. He took it without a word and thrust it into his blouse. "What was it?" her mother asked when she returned. "Sump'n he'd forgot, that he can't git on without," she answered. Then 6he went into the house.

I'm sorry ter see him go like that," the Dunkard housewife said to her husband as they watched the outlandish figure hobbling down the lane. "Yes," he answered, "he's like an oak whose leaf fadeth, and a gyarden that hath no water."

TV.

The month of June was drawing to a resplendent close, and the wheat fields of the Shenandoah valley were ripening to the harvest. Beyond the Blue Ridge in Tuckahoe the battle of the Chickahominy had just been fought.

Two sinster-faced men, roaming about the battle field, came across a slim figure in the Louisiana zouave dress, with the characteristic colors dimly visible through the grime and dust which covered them. It lay face downward upon the earth, with outstretched arms.

An empty musket had dropped from the soldier's hands when he fell. "Yer's one o' them devilish Taggers said the elder of the evil-looking men kicking the body as he spoke.

HI

didn

know thar battalion was inter this yer fight." "No mo' it wasn't, I reck'n," the other answered. "Doncher see, this yer chap was a Tagger officer, an' yet a-totin' of a gun? He must ha' been a, sort o' straggler. an' went in on the guriller plan." "They are h—11 fur fightin,' wherever bey "T urn him over," said the second

The other stooped and rolled the dead man over on his back. His eyes were shut, and there was a smile on his lips. A minie ball had gone through his heart. "He ain't got nothin'. Them Taggers never have. We might as well let him alone." "Hold on! Wait a minute. What's this?"

A rough hand was thrust into the breast of the dead soldier's blouse. "Look yer, Tony," the first robber said with brutal glee: "What d'ye reck'n this is? Did ye know the leper could change his spots or the Tagger his skin?" "Ef it ain't a testament I'm cussed!" said the other.

The last speaker reached out and took the book curiously. It opened in his hand at the first chapter of first Chroni cles. He saw a pencil mark drawn be neath three words of the third verse, and a date written in the margin. "June the 9th, 18G2," he slowly road aloud. "That was the fight at Fort Rapublic over thar in the valley. There was lots a' Taggers inter that. I was right thar that very day."

He continued reading in the little Bi ble he had in his hand. "Eglah, his wife?"

A strange expression flitted across his coarse features. "Here," he said, returning the volume to his comrade, "put it back whar yer got it, or by the Lord, I'll run this bay'net smack through ye!" [THE END.]

AMUSEMENTS.

The long looked for engagement ol Mr. Joseph Jefferson, which occurs tonight, will undoubtedly call out one of the largest and most brilliant audiences ever in the theater, and we can but add that the occasion will be a deserving one, from an artistic stand point, for iff the highest, most elegant and polished style of comedy, and in the airiest and most delicate of force, the English speaking stage of to-day possesses no rival of Mr. Jefferson. There is nothing on the stage that is higher or more noble in genuine art, or that so wonderfully blends pathos and humor as Jefferson's impersonation of "Rip Van Winkle," and what more could we add but to repeat what has been said a thousand times, unless it be simply to chronicle that Mr. Jefferson's art is as fresh today as twenty years ago. THE EXPRESS has devoted a great deal of space, and cheerfully, too, to properly bring Mr. Jefferson's engagement before thepeo pie, for such as this should be encouraged. *1

Mr. Jefferson's tour so far has been very successful. He has been greeted everywhere by crowded houses, playing only one night in Cincinnati, Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis, etc. Next season Mr. Jefferson will bring out one of the strongest combinations everput on the road. The tour is necessarily a limited one, and will be confined to the large cities, excepting three or four nights. Manager Naylor is endeavoring to secure a date with the big combination for next season in Terre Haute.

New Albany's New Mayor.

7

The election of Mr. Morris McDonald as mayor of New Albany is likely to prove a very fortunate thing for the city. Caring nothing for the office itself, and possessing none of the instincts of an officeseeker, he accepted it from a sense of public duty, and for the opportunity it gave of instituting needed reforms in city government. New Albany was badly cursed by Democratic ring rule and political bossism. Under these conditions the city government had become extravagant and inefficient, a large debt had been piled up and the city's credit was severely impaired. The election of Mr. McDonald was immediately followed by a considerable rise in the price of city bonds, and the indications are that his administration will mgrk the beginning of anew era in city affairs. His inaugu ral address showed a business man's grasp of the situation, and contained recommendations which, if carried out, will give the people of New Albany an excellent illustration of practical reform. Mayor McDonald is liable to make a reputation.—[Indianapolis Journal.
