lTHK MAIL

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Night-Hawk.

Now ilont get alarmed, good people at tho appearance of our title. It ia not our intention to do anything mean or tell anything but tho truth, and not all the truth. Noither is it our mission to unravel all the mysteries of nightly occurrence in tho city, for it will be impossible for us to bo everywhere at-one and the same time, and learn all that transpires after business hours. We are simply going to assist the police in ferreting out gorno misdemeanors by "watching the cornere," and tell the readers of The Mail—with Mr. Westfall's permission— what is going on while many of them are quietly sleeping.

T. T. has done some excellent work, su»d served a good purpose, since his first appearance as a contributor to the columns of The Mail, and is now doing much toward correcting the many ovils of our city ami all good people doubtless will join N. II. in wishing the old man success in the future as in tho past. But tho city is growing, and there is more work to be dono than T. T. can do justice to. Then, again, T. T.'s mission is principally confined looking after what transpires in tho day-time. The old gont is getting too old—not being blessed with a wife to look after his health—to stay out late at night, and it is time T. T. had a night clerk. Remerabel Night llawk is not employed by T. T. to do the night work bat simply volonteers his assistance, and if T. T. does *ot think his service worth paying for, why then—N. H. will serve awhile •without remuneration, just for the good «ke thinks ho can accomplish-by staying «ut a little late at night and telling wha •an bo seen by hovoring over certain localities.

WHO IS HE?

N. H. is at quite a loss to know who the young mun is that T. T. says ought to "swear ofT." N. H. saw old T. T.'s horse and buckboard hitched in the •lloy one evening last week, and suspi«ioned that some young bloods weie ieing watched. But what particular we of tho crowd does T. T. refer to? There are more than one of these "Dear ©eorges," who have "pale faces and red ©yes." Come, old man, be a little more •xplicit next time, wuen you are giving •town talk" on this subject. If. II. wants to know who is tho chap. Why not tell on all tho members and not single out tho youngest, and the last one |hat joined tho band, and hold him individually responsible for all tho rest?

THE THEATER.

N. II. seldom goes to places of amusement, but an idea struck hitn New Year's night that the Opera House would be a good place to see the "boys" and learn ther ne\r "tricks," if they had any Bow ones. Hut it was a failure nothing Dew the same old story. Come to tiink of it, N. H. did see something a trillo different freui that which ho saw tho hist evoning he was there. Some of the boys are accustomed to getting up at the close of each net of the play and going down to "rest" a few minutes. N. H. discovered a slight variation Ttiov didn't go out, but stopped par ir ty, and talked to some "ladies"—N. II. suiloscs thoy were ladies, or these young men would not have been so fasniliar with them. At tho beginning 1 •he next act of the play, theso younv utieHien resumed th. ir former seats antt laughed and talked about what funny things tho "girls" said, lor the Vnedt of all that sat in hearing distance. .Atviner thing about the actions of these xing men—don't think this a new ir ek, however—they invariably sit on the back seats in tho dress circle. N. H. •Ui i"8cS this is for convenience, as he tuein got up at the close of tlie enii an us do a in greai hurry, where they seemed to be w.nt ngwhen N. 11 |Htssed them at the fino oi the stairway, for some "frionds" w. were going home with them to*»tay Alt n,gut. cutmcn.

N. U. iioes to Church occasionally

w*i« ooi little surprised on last Sundtiy «veung to set*some of those same youn. men "here, scarcely recognizable. In litet. N. II. would not have known l\ their actions that they were tho gune persons he

at the Opera House.

They behaved so nicely. And then a^ain, they were in such respectable socit-l^. JJ. H. was surprised to wo that the.v

HO acquainted with soni of tl»e first AunUtosm tuecity. Aathe rung** coincidences these and all in a •itv of twenty-rtve hou*«nd inhabitants, -en* everybody knows everybody.

SPOTTED.

N. has struck »trail. Tlie'lie is well salted, and artfiK-hody'* dc(«)r ni iv g-'t canght some these Itoftutiiiil moonlight evenings if he ain't just a little bit eareftil how he lools stjont a certain place where his wi ia not known to 1)0 living. N. H. happened to fly over certain house not a mile from Main siiwt, the other night, away after proper bed time for man who has a wife and fiunilv, and noticed a gentleman wnose 1st quite familiar come out of the bOiis N. II. don't believe that this Bonn's wifc lives in that house, and it wan a litilo late for a married man to be •ut calling on friend*- N. H. won't tc*ll Ihis time, but ft ii'i think It be*t, Jo*t -o-if, It ,i be long till your wife will know it.",

Robert Buckel, formerly of this city, now residing at Oxford, England, in renewing his subscription, says among other things of The Mail: It is not only we Americans who enjoy tho paper, but it has to go the round of the family, who from hearing us speak of Terre Haute ,'fiends and fYom constant reading of ,ho paper since its starting, seem to .% now the parties as well as we do ourselves. Prices of dry goods, Ac., are very carefully scanned by the ladies, md all changes of residence, business, &c.., as well as the personal items. By the way, some of our friends are very ureatlv amused at the personal items— thero being nothing of the kind in English newspapers—which have been charu'terized as heavy and are really so to oiio used to the American papers.

At last the Beecher case is before tho •ourts. A jury has beon empannelled md is ready to receive the voluminous •vidence that will be submitted.

Mr. Fechheimer, of the popular Cent "•Sore, desires us to tell the ladies that tho holiday rush being over, he and his assistants have more time to wait upon customer*, and can give them more careful attention in tho selection of goods. He has added this week many new novelties in the way of notions and trimmings. The Cent Store is having a surprisingly large trade in Real Ilair Goods. Mr. Fechheimer wishes to go Easi as ©arly as possible and in order to reduce a large stock of Woolen Goods, they will be sold regardless of cost

Tho highest prize in a Chinese lottery is twenty-nine cents, and the man who draws it has his name in the paper and is looked upon as a heap of a fellow. Speaking of prizes, people are daily drawing prizes at T. II. Rlddlo's. Tho beauty of it is that there is no risk attending the drawing. Since tho holidays he seems so anxious to dispose of his stock of fine watches, elegant jewelry, superb silverware, clocks, etc., that his patrons are absolutely astonished when told the prices. Reader, if you want anything in this line now is the tinio to have a little earnest talk with Riddlo.

Cliargo! ladies, charge! On! ladies, on! were the last words of Marmion as he commanded a force made up of all the ladies in Terre Haute to march straight on to the well known "Hoosier Store," corner of Ohio and Fourth streets, and buy everything needed in tho line of dry goods, boots and shoes, notions,J&c., at astonishingly low prioes. Grateful for past liberal patronage D. C. Greiner & Co. have resolved to make goods and prices entirely satisfactory and pride themselves on being able to meet the wants of all classes, both of country and city trade. Remember the "Hoosier Store" for bargains in dry goods.

It is something to a city to have such an institution as the Central Bookstore* It is an evidence of culturo in the people. It shows hat they have brains of their own which they love to improve by adding the products of other people's brains to theirs. It is a proof of progress and enterprise. The men who have spirit and enterprise to encourage and keep pace with public progress in its better intellectual developments, as Button & Hamilton do, deserve reward —tho reward of prosperous business— and we are glad to note that they are getting their reward.

IN SOUTH TERRE HAUTE.

The undersigned desires respectfully to announce to the citizens of Terre Haute and adjacent county that ho has Just opened an apothecary shop and prescription office on south Second street, between Moffat and Willow streets, Terre Haute, at which he will furnish his patrons with family medicines, carefully compounded of pure drugs, and on as good U-rnis as they can be purchased in the city. Also all the drugs and medicines usually kept in drug stores, all at tho lowest cash price.

He also solicits practice in the city as a physician (not as a surgeon). Has made those forms of disease peculiar to females a particular study, and for the last twenty years has made the treatment, of ulceration of the womb a specialty, and in that time he lias treated a great many cases successfully, to whom reference will be given if desired.

Having been engaged in tho practice of the duties of his profession for forty-five years, he hopes to be able to merit the confidence and patronage of his patrons.

Has on hand for mediolnal purposes a very superior article of Tenneseo Apple Brandy.

Physicians prescriptions carefully compounded and neatly put up at any hour. Ydvice in ordinary cases, gratis.

Respectfully, THOS. B. SPRINGS, M. D.
