THE MAIL.

P. S. WESTFALL,EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

Office, 142 Main Street.

TERRE-HAUTE. APRIL 6,1872.

SECOND EDITION.

With Four Page Supplement.

THE 8 UPPLEMENT

Which accompanies this sheet and forms the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th pages of The Mail, contains the city news, personal meDtion, interesting miscellany, new advertisements, business notices, etc., and will be found as interesting as any portion of Tbe Mail.

THIS WE&JC8 MAIL.

This issue of the Saturday Evening Mail is a TWELVE PAGE PAPER,containing seventy-t\co columns of reading matter and advertisements. It is the largest newspaper ever issued in Terre-Haute.

THE INDIA# ORCHARD. This interesting legend was written by Mrs. Dr. Warren, who will be remembered by our older citizens as a former resident of this city. It was published in the Wabash Express about fifteen years ago. The limited circulation of the Express at that time causes the legend, which we reprint in this issue of Tbe Mail, to new fall in the hands of almost an entire new set of readers. On account ot its local character we believe it will be read with interest. Many of onr citizens can remember the trees that once stood in the Indian Orchard, just north of the upper railroad bridge. A NS WERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We will give under this head, when occasion requires, attention to all persona seeking information. Editors are generally expected to know everything, and although we say it modestly, we hope we shall not be found an exception to the general rule.

LITERARY ENQUIRER.—The expression "Waiting till the last dog is hung" is, we think, inelegant. Polite society renders it, "Tarrying until tbe termination of the canine execution," which much improves it.

FRIEND OF THE MAIL.—We cannot consent to use our columns in abuse of a citizen to gratify your own personal spite. Your attempt in this direction shows you to be a mean, vindictive, cowardly sneak.

DRUGGIST.—We respectfully decline your very generous offer to exchange a bottle of your best castor oil for a ten line notice: If you have more oil than you can dispose of, why not give the times a liberal dose They are tight enough In all conssience.

A LOVER.—You are correct in your views on the subject. When a young lady so far forgets the respect due her aged mother as to call her a "gibbering idiot" and waft a quart cup at her, damaging tbe oup in the manner described by you, we don't think she would make a first-class wife for anybody. We advise you to letborslide.

PROPHET.—We cannot consistently advise you to adopt the profession you mention. We don't think a prophet ever "makes much money or has any fun." A man of tbis profession in Winchester, Va., recently prophesied that he would die on the 22d of February out in his case the prophecy was only half fulfilled. In order that bis prediction might be verified bis wife knocked him down and beat him over tbe head with a chair. He has since retired from tbe business in disgust.

MODERATE DRINKER.—Your theory about moderate drinking is absurd. If a man should drink one glass of intoxicating liquor each day and live to be a hundred years old, it is certainly no sign that by drinking two glasses a day hecould live two hundred. Your father, even though he was formerly a member of the City Council, as you state, ought to have been equal to the task of disabusing your mind of this erroneous Idea. 1 I

REJECTED LOVER.—If the young lady refiiaed to allow you to accenipany her home, we can't see why you should lose your temper in consequence. Be patient, and learn a useful lesson from the young man in thiscity who, a abort time ago, aaked a young lady for her company and was flatly refused. He then humbly asked the privilege of sitting on the fence and seeing her go by. Should vou be inclined to take advantage of this numaation, do not, you have any regard for your feelings, select a picket (fence.

BUSINESS MAN.—We can't give you a half column puff of your buainesa, as "an item of general interest."

Several letters are laid over to be an. awe red at our earliest convenience. However, we might aa well tell the truth and say that none of the communications to which tbe above refer to have been received. The answers are only our own Imaginings, made in our own office, just aa is done in tbe offices of all the eastern literary papers, bavins a column of "snswers to correspondents.

TEMPERANCK CONVENTION. A few fhnatics. from varioua portions of the State, met in Indianapolis on Wednesday and went through tbe feree of nominating a ticket lor State officer*. Tbe names are not material, as they will scarcely be feeard of In tbe eemlng campaign. 8odi man as pot this ticket In nomination are calculated to de the temperance eanss more barm than good.

DOJOUL1KEIT.

To-day we issue sn edition of 10,000 copies of The Saturday Evening Mail. The extra edition will be distributed st business snd dwelling houses by agents in the principal towns of Clay, Sullivan, Clark, Edgar, Coles, Vermillion snd Parke counties. It will fall in tbe bands of many new readers, snd some, perhaps, who haye never seen The Mail, We sak that it be given a careful perusal, and if satisfactory, will be pleaaed to enroll your name aa a constant reader.

We are compelled to confess that the present number is hardly a fair sample on account of the, extraordinary prfis? sure of advertising tbia week.

In the towns of Paris, Marshall, Sullivan, Brazil, Bowling Green, and Clinton we have already made arrangements to deliver The Mail by carrier In the same manner and upon the same terms aa in this city. ,ri.trf

We expect by the time'this 'issue reaches tbe reader to have similar arrangements in Rockville, Newport, Eugene, etc.

NEWSPAPER

WRITING.

Editing a newspaper, in the opinion of most people, is the simplest thing In the world. A man may have grave doubts about bis talent for publio speaking, may freely admit that he cannot turn a tune or recognize one when turned by anybody else, may confees that he is no poet, not much of a scholar, and nothing of an artist, but there is no creature so poor-spirited as to avow his incapacity to edit a newspaper. On tbe contrary, that is a work to which every man has a manifeat call. No matter what bis actual business in this world may be—preacher, lawyer, physician, butcher, baker, merchant or dray-driver—he haa a secret fancy that if he only had a chance he could make a newspaper a little bit spicier and livelier than anything in the shape of a public journal that has ever come in his way. Tbia is one of the most amusing and universal weaknesses of the latter times. The number of people who are Infected by It Is known only to publishers, just as the extent to which opium eating Is practiced Is realized only by druggists and physicians. The drawer and waste baskets of every leading newspaper office overflow with evidence of the ambition and harmless vanity of the vast public who scribble by stealth, and fondly and patiently toil over realms of composition which nobody can be induced to print.

It must be admitted that there is something enticing and enviable in editorial life, as it appears to the outside world. The delight of gettlpg into print for the first time is one of the keenest enjoyments of li e. What, therefore, we reason, must be the pleasare of that man who daily feasts the public with bis wisdom and whose smallest scribbling finds Its way Into type without criticism or delay. But this reasoning is altogether unsound. Little boys who cherish the solitary bit of candy which a chance penny enables them to buy, who enjoy every bit with a keen relish, and feel their appetite for the sweet morsel keener than ever when it has melted away, fancy that the lad in the candy shop, who lives in a bower of sweets, and has every variety of confections from which to choose, and as much of each as he wants, must be the very happiest lad in the world. How grievously they are mistaken. To that unfortunate youth, ever since the beginning of his apprenticeship, when be sickened on a surfeit, the sight of the shapely sticks and dainty drops and balls is utterly loathsome. His day dreams are of pickles—candies are his nightmare.

As with candies, so with editorials. It Is enebantlng to write a lucky one whlch'a friendly publisher puts in fair type in bis leading column. You have written it at your leisure, crossed every t, inserted every comma, read it in manuscript to half a dozen admiring cronies, and tbe sight of the delicious periods, and the well turned phrases staring you in the face from the printed page, Is certainly one of the most thrilling and exhilarating of spectacles in the world. You carry tint paper about you. Hourly, yea, oftener, in sweet stealtb, you read the dear effusions, and wonder If there Is such a mortal dunce extant as to deny that it is about tbe most pointed and elegant piece of newspaper writl'.g that he has ever seen. You dream snd dote over that sheet until It is black and tattered. This Is one of the most Innocent and blessed of human pleasures. It is the solitary mlntstick which whets your appetite for sweets.

Rut the edltor.that eh viable nlan who feeds on tbe candy which you have only got a taste, is in truth as unhappy and surfeited a person as that pickle craving lad who weighs out the bon-bons. The freshness, the exquisite charm of seeing his reflection in print, haa long vanished. He writes painfully and under pressure—oftentimes harrassed by a thousand petty vexations, with the gabble of score of idlers in his ears, with.acning head and weary hand. Hia work is, of all works, tbe most wearing and vexatioua. It la tread mill drudgery. It exhausts body and brain.,

The call for copy is tnexborable and cannot be refused. He must write. He most bear patiently to be esteemed doll when be cannot be witty, and be applauded for wit when he knows that he has bsen dull* Every blockhead who ever spends a dime for his paper, foela that be has pnrekased thereby an indeleaalble right to dictate the manner in which it shall be cooducted, to criticise sharply everything that appears in it, and to "elevate its

tone'' with his own asinine lucrubrations, fairly written out snd enclosed ins note demsnding their instsnt pub-| Hcstlon, signed "s paying subscriber," one who buys your weekly," or, "s

oonstant reader." If yon were to ask this modest friend to cutyonr coator measure you for pair of beets, he would Indignantly reply that that was not his trade that he fcnows nothing sbout it. But the diffidence which shrinks from the shears and ooyly draws back from the awl and lap-stone, boldly grasps the pen snd undertakes to instruct snd illuminate the world. Breeches and shoes require art, experience,reflection,^ their making—political essays flow spontaneous from the most addled pate, or can be plumed out of it by pure hand labor without the aid of the vulgar appliances of study, knowledge snd thought.

There is snother view of editorial life suggestive of much amusing reflection, which want of space compels us to reserve for another paper.

HIUHL RESPECTABLE "All tbe parties are highly respecCable." So ends a dispatch from Nashville giving an account of a desperate affray resulting In the death of a young lawyer. Shall we ever get to the time when reporters and correspondents will break themselves of the habit of eulogizing people who are proved by their own actions to he anything but what they are asserted to be? Here are two young men in the case in hand, of whom it is discovered that they go about carrying revolvers, ready to use them upon each other, or upon anybody who might happen to provoke them by a mere Inuendo or imagined insult. Yet the telegraph Informs us they are highly respectable. They are not. They are neither respectable, nor flt to be admitted Into respectable society. No man is worthy ot respect either from other people or from himself who goes about tbe strets with a alung shot or a pair of brass knuckles conveniently concealed In his breeches pocket and any system of social organization that recognizes respectability In such performances needs radical reorganization.

ADVICE TO WRITERS. Omit the beginning of your essay. Most writers not used to the press imagine that a newspaper article, like an oration, should have an exordium, an argument and conclusion. Not at all. The argument is all that is wanted. That is, state your case, say your say, and stop. Do not take time and space to get into the subject, and more to get out of it but come out of it instantly and stop when you get done.

Be short. Time is short, the world is very fast now, and readers of newspapers do not want long articles. Pack your thoughts into short words, short sentences and short essays.

Come to the point. If you have no point, lay down the pen, and do something else rather than write. It is not every one who can write for edification, and you may not be one who can.

Write the article two or three times over carefully, making It shorter each time. Write on one side only ot the paper. Write

legibly.

If your band-

writing is poor go to school and learn to write. Do not worry editors with your .scrawls. Keep a copy of whut you send to the press. Editors do not return manuscripts.

Be very modest In your estimate of your own productions, and do not fret if others esteem them even loss than you do,

CONCERNING DRESS.

We saw tbe following In an exchange tbe other day and cut It out for transfer to our columns: "Tbe church attire of American women: They enter tbe bouse of God as they would a theatre they don their gayest plumage, hang on all their chaina and lockets, take off their kid gloves to show their rings in the sacred temple. Worse—they stare and comment on each other's costumes, and absolutely make the church of worship a place in which to study the fashions. Tbe same lack of fitness in dress is seen in tbe utter disregard to age as well as occasions in the adaptations of dress. The woman of thirty or forty may be as beautiful as a woman of twenty by her own right, if there is no incongruity between her years and her attire. It is only when tbe woman of forty dresses like tbe girl of twenty, that she looks absurd. We despise her, not tor what she is,but for trying to appear that which so palpably she Is not. Everywhere, American matrons with faces lined and scarmi, may be seen with staring jockey hats set on their gray beads like helmets, beflowered and befeatbered and more fantastic than the ones worn by their little daughter* of ten.

LIFE would be less miserable than It Is If we were incapable of taking oold, and if so much of it were not devoted to coughing and sneezing. The spring time of tbe year would be perfectly charming If people didT not frequently make such terrible mistakes In prematurely taking oft tbeir flannels. It is now suggested In tbe Cleveland Leader that the Signal Service Bureau at Washington might mske itself a blessing to the nation by letting us know when we most wear wool, and when we may with impunity discard It. It would add greatly to the Interest of the Wsshington predictions, rendering them much more entertaining to the ordinary reader, if they were interspersed with such warnings ss these:

Don't Ml to take your umbrella I" Remember your overshoes for the next twenty-fbur hoots J" "Pot your "trust in spring overcoats."

8ATURDA NIGHT.

It* Facts and Peculiarities.

Saturday night in a city the sise of ours, hss characteristics, marked snd distinctive from other evenings, and it is interesting to go up snd down tbe streets on this svening, and observe tbe fsmilies snd individuals waking their purchases for the week others, dressed in Sunday attire, resting from the week's labor, and note the many other familiar scenes. The working olaiwwy whose enly inoome is derived from their daily avocations, are the great majority of our population. Rich capital itts and others, with sore snd ample incomes, are the small minority. How small, proportionstely, is the number in this or any other city, tbe world over, whose maintenance and that of their families do not depend on the continuance of their life or health,which hang on theslender thread ofthepsssing moment.

So in proportion as their money is hatrdly earned, it is—or ought to be— carefully spent, and where, as is the case with multitudes, the week's income is barely sufficient to oover the week's out-go, the question of expenditure becomes one of nice discrimination of careful weighing of the need of this thing, the want of that, and the advantage of how to obtain the most vslus for the lesst money. Where, however, penuriousness slone dictates this closeness of calculation, it is simply despicable where the proper economy of moderate, though not uncomfortable circumstances permits it, it is commendable when grinding and hopeless poverty compels it, it is pitiful. All these motives may be seen in a leisurely walk about the stores of Saturday evening.

The week'a work is done. The hammer rests on the snvil the plane has cut the last shaving the paint dries on the bruah, tbe horse of the teamater is quiet in his stall, the workshops are closed and labor is free. The week's earnings are in hand aud the boaineas of spending them is to come. The flour barrel has been sounded, the remaining weight of tea and coffee approximated, the necessary supply of butter, sugar, meat and other articles for the commissariat computed, the necessities of the wardrobe debated, the oondition of the foot-wear examined, and the best disposal of the finanoes finally decided on and then the husband or wife, or both, sometimes with an escort of children, set but on their errand. For the small rolls of dirty currency brought down town, hundreds of bundles of luxuries, comforts and necessaries radiate in every direction to the extreme suburbs.

The influx from the country on Saturday, on the same errand of purchase, is also noticeable. The stalwart farmer, with his buxom wife and healthy offspring drives In in the afternoon, or come in the morning and make a whole day of it. Tbey carefully and severally examine tbe articles of merchandise under consideration, criticise generally tbe tertas, and insinuate that a lower rate would be more acceptable, finally buy in goodly quantities—for they cannot step Into a storo eve-y day—load tbe purchase into the ample vehicle, and at nightfall set off homeward.

So Saturday, especially among the laboring masses is the purchasing day, wbereon empty larders and meagre wardrobes are replenished, wblle hungry children aud careful housewives rejoice. There is a pleasure in the sense of possession, and tbe tired man and woman take much satisfaction in contemplating the good things whlob tbelr well-earned money has bought. True, there is generally, an underlying feeling of animosity toward the dealer, who Is suspected or accused of exhorbitant chaiges but this softens to feeling of mild regret at their evil doing, and they turn to the contemplation of tbelr creature comforts. Blessed are tbey who have the wherewithal to experience the pleasure of purchase on Saturdsy night. If the amount be small their possessions will be tbe more valued. For a brief boor or two, at least, they may be as happy as th owners of great estates. Unfortunate are those to whom the end of tbe week comes with empty bands, while in their homes are hungry little ones. May none of the readers ol The Mall be among them.

CONNECTICUT.

Tbe election in Connecticut on Monday, like that of New Hampshire, resulted in a victory for the Republicans. Gov. Jewell's plurality Is nesrly two thousand, but owing to tbe Temperance and Labor Reform votes his majority over all is reduced to about 30. The Senate stands 15 Republicans, and 6 Democrats, and tbe House 131 Republicans and 110 Democrats. The republican ma|orlty on a joint ballot Is 30. Last year it was 24.

DEA TB OF PROFESSOR MORSE. Samuel Flnley Breese Morse, the Inventor of the electric telegraph, died on Tuesday evening, at a ripe old age, having lived to see his wonderful Invention encircle the earth—with wiry nerves and sinews connecting the entire civilised globe. ...

SPRING TRADE OF ISA Our Wholesale Houses.

Year after year the wholesale trade of Terre-Haute bss grown with great rapidity until now tbe houses or

tbis

cityosn oompete with any city in the Weet. The spring trade of 1178 promises to be largely inereased over that of 1871. We are told by lesding merchants, and know from personal observation, that the stooks offered in this city to the retail dealers will surpass in extent, variety and styls of goods sny ever before offered here.

The wholesale merchants of TerreHaute have always been noted for their liberality and honorable method of transacting business and this tact has contributed very largely to the rapid inorease of the wholesale trade of the •city.

There is no branch of mercantile busi- i? ness but is largely represented among the wholesale establishments of TerreHaate. Perhaps we may exoept the single item of exclusive wholesale dry goods houses, but the several large retail houses here can supply the wants in this line.

As an Index of what Terre-Haute-is prepared to do in the wholeaale line,we invite attention to the eleventh page of this psper which is entirely made up of houses engaged in the wholesale trade. Retail dealers in this and surrounding towns will peruse the several columns with interest. Therein will be found the houses of—

Hulman

Cox, Grocers and dealers

in domestic and foreign wines and 11quors, cigars, tobacco, flour, salt, nails

eW. H. Sage,manufacturer and whole- 4 sale dealer in caudles, crackers, confec* tioneries, nuts, etc.

R. Buokell.oan supply the trade with wall paper, paints, glass, oils, eto., in any quantity.

Wittlg Dlok, characteristic of their. large business occupy large space to tell of their large stock of notions snd goods in thst line.

U. R. JeflersJA Co., take sn humbler position, but are doing sn immense trade in the same line—Notions, eto.

H. Robinson

Co. are in the same

line. In fact, In this branch of trade Terre-Haute can compete with any city in the West.

T. H. Riddle has just opened a largo x1 and well-selected stock of millinery, straw goods, laoes, ribbons,fancy goods, direct from the manufacturers and lmporters.

T. H. Riddle is also jobbing jewelry and makes prices as low as any Western cities. He has the finest regulator aud best watchmaker in this section of the country. I

Fred. A. Ross, wholesale dealer in n. saddlery hardware, whips, etc., and and manufacturer of saddles and collars, invites special attention to the ', "Prairie City Breeching Loop," tor short tug harness, of which he is the patentee.

Slaughter and Kerchoff, are also largely engaged in tbe saddlery hard- a ware trade. Their card caine In too late to be placed with the other wholesale houses, and will bo found in another partol tbe paper.

Crawford, O'Boyle A Co. have recently opened an exclusively wholesale boot and shoe house—a need long felt —and are prepared to do a large trade.

The Wabash Woolen Mills, established in 1854, offer at wholesale a full stock of Jeans,flannels, blteukels,yarns, etc., and pay cash for wool.

Gulick A Bfrry, the well-known? druggists, carry a heavy stock of Phoenix, Magnolia, and Pittsburg White Lead, paints, brushes, glass, oils, varnishos, dye-stuffs, etc.

Ji B. Lyne is largely engaged in tho wholesale liquor trade. He makes a specialty of puro Kentucky whisky.

Syfers, Trader

Co., present their

card as wholesale grocers and carry a heavy stock.

Frank Helnig

-7

Bro. show a correct

cut of their building, where tbey mantffacture crackers, candies, etc., for the wholesale trade.

Bartlett

Co's card came in too late

to be placed on tbe page with the wholesale houses. It is printed in another part of the paper. They are Jobbing books and stationery as cheap aa any city In the West.

Thej-e are other large fioiises in tbfs city, whose cards have not been sent in, engaged in the above lines ^nd in other branches of trade, so that it will readily be observed that the wants of retail dealers in the towns adjacent to tbis city can be fully supplied here and we guarantee, that on all leading artlcles Eastern prices can be duplicated with the slight addition of freight, and in many instance* this will lit- saved.

DR. JOHNSON, when in the fullness of years and knowledge, said, "I never take up a new-paper without finding something 1 would have ddeined it a loss not to have seen never, without: deriving from it Instruction and "amusement." Tbe newspapers in Johnson's time wece meagre enotigb, compared with those ef to-day. Now journalism sweeps into its ranks the: tbe most brilliant minds of the age, and yearly newspaper volume is a perfect encyclopaedia.

A MICHIOAN horse tamer has written a letter in which be says thst "niture has designed the horse to eat bis food I from the ground, else the pasturage S: would be raised to a level with the' he td." It is evident, as it is, tbat tbe horse's besd is a good deal more level than tbat of this particular horse timer, for he might go on with tbis line ot argument and claim that nature intended man to eat potatoes raw, else tbey would grow alresdy cooked.
