He will be supported by what is said to be one of the best compares that has ever traveled.

Of his Richelieu the Louisville Cour-ier-Journal says: In Mr. Barrett's rendering of Richelieu we see nothing of the actor. The illusion is complete. We seem to behold the physically 'weak, infirm, old manthe crafty cardinal who, 'where the lion's skin fell short, eked it out with the fox's the ambitious prime minister of France who for 18 years maintained the ascendancy over his master. Louis XIII., dismembered Spain, numiliated Austria, crushed internal treason and conspiracies, and laid the foundation of the French kingdom. In short, Richelieu, not Barrett, appears to stand before us."

And the N. Y. Tribune says "His Richard is masterly wrought. He is our ideal of the character. The intellectual rather than the brutal villain. His method was admirable his transitions from the humility of the fawning hypocrite to subtile wit and devilish malignant viper—closed one of the most clearly conceived and deftly rounded pieces of acting It was ever our good fortune to witness.

Yesterday morning, at slem o'clock precisely, an unfortunate young man, Charles Augustas Pipkins, suffered the extreme penalty of infatuation, by explating his auaohmeat to Clara Amelia In front of the altar raillog Of the church on Seventh street.

HISTORY

*11

CMMNAJ

Juat two yeans ago—it seems but yesterday—Augustus wss Introduced to Clara, and immediately began to pay her particular attentions. From that period their intimacy dates, and It was continued until it ended at laat in the painful catastrophe of yesterday morning*

Poor Pipkin had barely attained his 28th year, bat there is every reason to believe, that, bad not extreme impecunlosity prevented, his singls life would earlier have came loan untimely end.

A ohange for the better, however, occurred to his circumstances, and Clara's friends were inclined to sanction his addresses, snd thu* became accessories te the awful calamity which has overthrown him in the heyday of his youth.

THE LAST HOCT1W,

The unhappy young man passed the laat night of bis batchelor existence in his solitary chamber. From half past 8 to 10 he was bn»ll/ engaged in writing letters. Shortly after 10 o'clock, his younger brother Henry knocked at the door, when the doomed man told him in a firm voice, to "come in."

Upon beiug asked when he intended to go to bed, he replied, "not yet." The question was then asked him, "how he thought he would sleep," to which his answer was: "pretty well." He then expressed a desire for a cigar and a glass of water, which were given to bim. His brother now demanded of him if he would "want anything mere that night."

He said "nothing" in a firm voice His affeotionate relative then rose 10 take his leave, when the doomed man oonsiderately advised him to "take care of himself."

At precisely seven the next morning the victim rose and promptly dressed himself. He had self-control enough to shave without the slightest injury, for not a single scratob appeared on his chin after the operation. It would seem that he devoted more than usual oare to his toilette on this occasion. The wretched man was attired in a neat fitting suit of black, with white^jest and patent leather boots. Sy

Having descended the stairs with a quick step, be entered the apartment where his brother and a few friends were waiting. He shook hands cordially with all present, and on being asked how he had slept, answered, "Very well," and to the further demand as to the state of his mind he said "he felt happy," One of the party having suggested that it would be well to "take something" before the melancholy ceremony, he exclaimed with much emphasis, "Decidedly." Breakfast was accordingly served, and the poor fellow ate the whole of a roll, a slice of toast, two sausages, and three eggs, washing the whole down with two large cups of coffee. In reply to expressions of astonishment on the part of the company, he said that he "never felt better in his life."

Having inquired the time, and ascertained that it was just ten o'clock, he remarked that "it would soon be over." His brother then asked if be could do anything more for him, when ke said he should like to have a glass of ale. Putting it to his lips, he remarked "here's luck," and drank it with satisfaction.

The fata! moment now approaching, he devoted the remainder of his time to distributing among his friends those little articles which he would no loxger want.

The clook at length struck eleven, and he was told that a carriage was at the door. He merely said, "I'm ready," and was conducted to the vehicle. Arrived st the tragical spot, a short delay took place, when they were joined by the lady, with her friends. Little was said on either side, but Clara, with customary decorum, shed tears.

Pipkin endeavored to preserve "composure, but a slight twitching of his mouth snd eyebrows proclaimed bis inward agitation. The victim now walked side by side with Clars, with a firm step, to'the altar, He surveyed the imposing preparations with calmness, and ga%6d unmoved on the clergyman, who waited behind the railing.

The floor of the dancing hall is slippery. Velocipedes are the rage In Brazil Just now long legged men fit them the best.

Oharlev Barrlek of Terre Haute sralUd on his numerous friends in Brazil last Mouday Riley is in a tlx—his printers having struck for the wages that is paid ln the Echo office.

Now there are rumors ef a duck hunt in which several well known ramrods of Brazil will participate.

There is an Anti-Grangers' society In town, and Judge Coffee of Bowling Green, was initiated last Sanduy night.

The Union Band of Terre Haute selected a bad night tor their concert and dance In Brazil, there being two ether dances set for the same night.

As I. Kerr would have said had he been here Tuesday, Ye Pluvial Gcdn." In other words it rained all day and was awful disagreeable both ln and out doors.

It is reported that the proprietress of the Weaver House has been sued by a Terre Haute firm, and that she has au account against them to offtet it.

There came near being a row in the mayor's office last Monday, between a city official and an attorney. They did not come to blows however, and the question as to how many fires Gaugans kept up is still unsettled. \n animated discussion on Temperance, woman's rights and kindred topics took place on Main street last Sunday, Captain Jack taking the negative on all the subjects introduced, and would not be convinced.

Jake Thomas declares that he walked from Greencastle to Brazil one afternoon last week. L. G. Lewis can vouch for the truth of the statement as he knows that Uncle Jake was sitting on the fence when the train went by.

The champion fiddler lives in Brazil he recently fiddled at a dance for eighteen consecutive hours, stopping one hour for breakfast. His only support was a gallon of whisky, which, however, gave out before he did.

A Bowling Green man who Is regarded as being the best talker in this county met his match one day last week ln Terre Haute.

Misses Sallie and Lizzie Feddle, Mlas Lottie Smith, Mrs. Fred Barnes, Misses Bttle and Lou Freeman, Misses Mame and Lou Hedden, Miss Delia Blalze and Messrs. Barnes, Keudrlok, Smith, Wetzel, and Hunter, of Terre Haure, attended the hop of the Brazil Social Club, iaBt Friday night.

Marlon Daniels hunted up three physicians to hold a consultation on a patient who however, was considered to be in no great danger, and then announced his intention to immediately go for an under* laker.

It must have been noticed by the other correspondents of The Mall, what a number of people there are who have such good tokeson other people which they would like to see In print as long as they do not have to assume the responsibility of having published them.

A grocery llrm of Brazil refused to lend the proprietors of a hotel who are perhaps their bost customers, half a dozen cupsand saucers, because they were to be used at a supper of the Brazil Social Club. Thty said they were opposed to dancing on principle

and

would not countenance It. any way. Does not that smack of a Pharasaical splritt or Is It business?

Mel MeClure was quite iatimate with Gen. Giant during the war, and it Is interesting to hear him relate how he prevented a fight between Grant and Wen McCIernand, after the former had pulled oflT his coat to pitch in. by slapping him on the shoulder and saying "Now, Grant, don't make a damned am Of yourself." Mel says Grant sat down immediately, but there is no use talking,he wUI fight. It is proper to remark hem that Mel has never taken advantage of his former Intimacy with the president to endeavor to holkt either himself or friends into office.

Moonlight nights are delightful and are most enjoyed by young peopl^who during that period travel in palw. To enJoy the beauties of moonlight however, the cirenmstamses must be in accord.

Miss LIDA RJJSH, a* a Sister of Charity looked out of place in sueh a gay assembly. She made a very lively nun.

Is A AG KAHS, as a negro with his banjo, was the Bensation of tho evening. He created an immense amount of amusement, and his actluy was so natural that Jim Alllssn could hardly keep from arresting him for disorderly conduct.

DICK BAKES as a big Irish woman, was another Bplendid make-up, and caused a great deal of merriment throughout the entire evening.

PKTE CHRISTY made a very dashing milling officer, and wore the gayest suit on the floor. He was by no means a blank, as the Banner made It appear.

M, MORRISON appeared as a Heathen Chinee, and was a lalthful representation of the Ah family.

Gus DANIELS was a jolly tar, and looked like somebody bad just put a nose on bim. HEBK JOHNSON WHS the most ridiculous looking object in the room. Before the evening was over It was evident that the coffee sacks or soda was too much for him.

Miss Loc BARTON, with her skipping rope, was very sprightly and full ef fun. CHARLEY KKIFKB madea very good devil. His bag leggings also made a very good place to carry refreshments.

Miss ANN RYAN was a perfect queen, and Clark of the foundry, was one of her very faithful subjects.

E. P. TENNANT was a Granger and carried his agricultural Implements, which were obtained direct from the manufacturer.

JOE BAKER was a shabby genteel walking gent, and was oneof the best characters on the floor.

JACOB BAKER made a very good lady, whose sex was not suspected until he unmasked.

FRANK HAFER also represented a female and was very elaborately dressed by a dressmaker. Before unmasking time he changed to a black domino, but his little trick was not thick enough.

BRIQOS, of the press, was not masked, and could not danoe. but he enjoyed himself by promenauing with the Irish women.

Miss EHMA KEIKKR and Amelia Noe, were twoilttle glrlr, ve-ynrettllv dressed, and attracted a great deal of attention.

The Alt acq ue Ball of theOerman sbclely, at Brown's Ball, one week ago last Tuesday, was a grand success. None of the costumes were very elaborate or expensive, but considering that they were all gotten up at home, they were veiy creditable. A large number of unmasked spectators were present, and seemid to enjoy the fun hugely, especially our Judge, Prosecuting Attorney and Hhcriff, who at times might have been seen promenading, or dancing a hoe-down with negro wenches, Irish Biddies uud other members of the motley ciowd.

BAM ISAACS was the principal wench, and was one of the best make-up's on the floor. His disguise was so complete that he passed his employer, Levi Cohn, at the door, without being recongnized,and left Mr. Cohn wondering all the evening why Sam didn't come.
