Two or three discontented young men of this city who have become dlsheartened because the lavish hand of fortune has not thrust untoM wealth upon them in the morning of life, aro now endeavoring to inveigle a number of valuable young citizens Into a plan to buy tho State of Texas and remove thither next spring.
NVorldly honors have their druwbacka. The truth of this can be observed any week in tho Court House when a member of the bar is called to preside temporarily ns judge.

Major Smith sold the Mail with the fixed purpose ol establishing a Sunday paper in St. Louis. But as tho time approached for severing the ties of home and friends, and he realized that he was to cast his lot among btrangers in a strange city, his heart failed him, and the purchase of the Express, of which he has a third interest, affords us the ploasure of retaining him as a citizen.
Troasurer Sankey received counterfeit money to the amount of thirty-live dollars from various persons in payment of taxes, during tho busy days in his office, ending on Monday. Tho only pleasant feature Mr. Sankey discovers in this is that he is now better able to sustain the loss than ho would be at any other time.
General Cruft owned the Express a few months over eleven years. He purchased it from Col. Hudson mainly for the benefit of his father. Shortly after, the General entered tho army, and the death of his father threw the management of tho paper Into other hands. Although he has never been able to give It much personal attention, still, under his proprietorship, the paper, from the first day of its transfer, has steadily improved and at all times been fully up with the growth of the city. vVo are just in receipt of a lotter from astray lloosier boy. Only a few years since he gave up a clerkship in J. 11. Cunningham's drugstoro and started for tho Far West in search ot i'oruno.

Ills income return, as we loarn from tho Salt Lake Daily Tribune, to U. S. Assessor, is for three hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars, on which tho tax eight thousand dollars. Pretty good for a Terre-Haute boy.
A lady living three miles southeast of this city, whose husband is a ver}* successful travelling agent for a Chicago lumber firm, received a present fVom fhe firm some time since, consisting of a tine two-hundred-dollar gold watch. The house in which they live had not been completed at that time, and thej' had not yet succeeded in laying up sufficient means to finish it. The lady considering the completion of her house more importance to her than the gold watch, returned it with the request that its value be sent in lumber. The firm responded to the request with a car-load of the handsomest lumber ever shipped to this city. The house Is now completed and the family are happier than twenty watches could have made them, flow st range ly senaible some women are.

TKRHE-HATTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. APRIL 20. »7¥.
Dress makea the man" la a saying, the truth of which eannot be deuled. It 1s also true that at some clothing houses may be found wearing apparel that looks flashy and gay, but is far from being in accordance with true taate and a proper aenaeof aeatneea. ^nd so we recommend our readers to patronise auch an establishment aa W. H. Bannister's, where the proprietor, aalesmen, and the cutter, Mr. Black, all gentlemen of fine taate take pleasure in advising what is most becoming, the most serviceable and the most economical in gent's wearing apparel. They have just now a very fine liue of goods to select from
The retail grocorv trade is a big thing in tbis city. There is greater competition in this line than in any other branch of trade. Hence to do a large business more than oidinary Inducements must be offered. R. W. Rippetoe understands tbis and the result is that he is probably doing alarger trade than any other retail grocery establishment in the city. We doubt if there is another establishment in the city presenting a larger or finer assortment from which to select from.
I am going to paint my house this spring. Where would you advise m« to get my white lead '"Why, a', Gul'ck A Berry's, of course?" "Why so?" "Because, that is where the painters deal, and they havo several of the finest brands, including the Phoenix, Mugnolia, Eagle, and Pittsburgh. They also carry a full stock of paints brushes, glasses,"oils, varnishes, dyestuffs, Ac." This conversation is reported as having occurrod in the street one day this week.
The building season is getting in full blast and Cory A Co. have a stock on hand sufficient to supply the entire town with all the hardware neccessary for house building. You do not have to run from store to store to get a full assortment if you patronize them, for they have everything wanted. They have a full branch of tools for every branch of mechanic arts, and selling at very low rates command a large custom with mechanics of all trades
White «fc Melvin, with their new grocery and provision store, in the Cook building, corner of Fonrth and Cherry streets, are doing a tine business, and giving great satisfaction. From personal observation and a practical trial of their goods, we can safely recommend their establishment to the consideration of the peoplo who are partial to good living. Their edibles aro always selected with the utmost care and are always fresh and of the best quality. Prices very low.
It is really astonishing! What's astonishing? Why, what a neat and elegant suit of clothes John Kuppenheimer will sell you for a small sum of greenbacks. He has an immense assortment of the nobbiest spring styles ever seen tbis city, and dealing exclusively in ready-made clothing he can afford extra inducements in tbis line. Just try him once, if you have never done so. This advice is not necessary to those who have done so.
It is said that the number of American books in the British Museum is greater than in any library in the United States, an1 the number of books at Bartlett tfe Co.'s two bookstores is greater than all the other bookstores in the city. They aro prepared to do an immense trade this spring. Half an hour can be spent with interest in examining the many attractions at either of their establishments.
In these days of adulteration and poisonous liquors it is a pleasure to refer to an honest dealer, whero pure liquors can be obtained. That man is J. B. Lyne, opposite the Terre-Haute House, whoro you can get the pure Kentucky whisky, which is rapidly growing in favor, native and foreign wincw, brandies, etc. At his establishment only can be found the Pure Kentucky Whisky, by the barrel.
Jet Jewelry will be quite fashionable thisspringaud nextsuinmer, worn with muslin and other light dresses. Jet cut into the "diamond" and ball shape will replace the peudant form, which, although very graceful,must give way to novelty. So says the New York Home Journal. We can't say positively that this is true, and refer our readers to 8. R. Freeman, 161 Main st.eet, who is posted, and is always up with the latest styles in jewelry.
The city election occurs on tho Second Tuesday in May. There is not much interest manifested in it, but the men are interested in knowing that Erlanger ifc Co., In the Opera House Block have a superb lot of piece goods, which Miller is rapidly transforming into elegant suite. They have a large stock of the Model Shirt, and a full line of children's clothing* ..
It la asserted that men would attend church regulary If they were only allowed to smoke in the sanctuary. And so they would if they could always be snpplled with such choice and richly flayored cigars as the Duddleston Bro's. Call on them, fn the Gilbert Block, ye smokers, if you want something extra nice.
Why do so many people go to the Old Postoffice building for their harness, aaddles, trunks, valises, whips, etc.? Because Peter Miller manufactures and keeps on hand the beat art idea in these goods, sells at the lowest living prices, and Is a clever and honorable dealer. Go and see if this is not true.
The prettiest young lady in town waa seen on the street last Thursday. She said her bean bought all his cigars and tobaeeo at Scott Shoafc, on east Main street, because he kc^t the choicest brands In his Una.

•. G. Dickhout haa shown this week in front of his extensive trunk factory, on Main atreet, several- mammoth trunks, which, If put on wheels would answer for railroad freight cara. At his establishment you will find truuks ot all gradea and prioes, from the site above mentioned down to the miniature toy trunk, from tne most costly and elegant structures down to the very cheapeat. It is one of the most com-
lete the kind la the
Reader of Tho Mall, do you want any work in galvanized Iron, slate or tin roofing? Go to Moore A Haggerty's for it. They are doing thia line of work not only in this city but in surrounding towns, and are ready to send out workmen to any point. Their marblelaed uiatiilea and grates give great satisfaction for elegance, durability and cheapness.
That story about "Winter lingering in the lap of Spring" is not true. Spriug's father thought tbat he was entirely too familiar, and kicked him out some time ago, and now all the peoplo are going to R. L. Ball's for their refrigerators, iue chests, water coolers, ice cream freezers, bath tubs, toilet sets, bird cages, clothes wringers, etc.
Tuttle, of the Tea Store, has been charged with being tbo T. T. of The Mail. But Tuttle and Tea are a more important coupling of T. T. There is no "Protest" against his Tea Tea, and, like The Mail, everybody takes it into the family. The children cry for It, and mothers will not be comforted when it is not in the house.
