THE MAIL
A PAPER FOR THE ProrLE.
P. S. WESTFALL,
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
TERRE HAUTE, NOV. 6, 1875.
TWO EDITIONS
Of thl* Paper are pnb!Uh«i. The K1R8T.EDITIV-N, on Friday Evening haa a large circulation in the *urroundlng towna, when It to nold by newaboj"* and agenta. The SECOND EDITION, ou Ha turd ay Evening, goes Into the hand* of nearly every reading person In the city, and the farm en of thi* immediate vicinity.

ONE CHARGE.
TERRE II.t VTE NEWSPAPERS. Tlio Express yesterday remarked that "the newspapers of Terr© Ilavito haVe tnticli lirf^iT circulation than Is usual in places of the sine and importance of this city.
We add our testimony to the truth of this statement. It is a well known fact that outsido of Indlacapolis there is 110 paper in the State with a larger circulation than The Saturday livening Mail.
And just here we may ineution that never in the history of tbo T»'-ro Haute press bas any paj»erincreased circula tion, in a singlo month, as has The Mail during the month just past. During the latter part of October, the circulation of The Mail has increased nearly one thousand copies.
The publisher of this paper is conversant with the newspapers of this city— tlieir rise and fall—knows whereof he Hj»eaks, and we desire to repeat the assertion that never has any Tcrrc llauit paper increased in circulation, in a ningle month, ah has The Saturday Evening Mail during tlio month of October. This is said not to disparage any of our cotemporarles, but simply because it shows that such a paper as Tho Mail will command the support of the people.

STEALING "A CCORDINQ TOLA W."
It Is reported that Jay Gould and the band of operators of which he is tbe bead have commenced a campaign to capture tbe Western Union Telegraph Company. Whether be suoceeda or not at the approaching election of directors, it can only be a qustlon of time when thia corporation will follow in the wake of tbe Erie railroad oompany, Pacific Mail, Union Pacific, and the thousands of other corporations that have been plundered by the stock gamblers. Indeed, so uniform of late years has been the fete of stock inveetmenta in this country that we wonder any people are left credulous enough to pay out good money for the stocks and so-called "1 curitles" with which the market is fleoded. Rings are invariably formed among the directors and officials who are "inside the ropes," aud the first thing the stockholder knows all the available assets have diappeared and the property is found to be hopelessly embarrassed. The laws of the couutry do not seem to be of any sorvlce either to prevent such cheating and wholesale robbery, or to punish those under whose management the stockholders have been swindled.
s,
If an investor iiricls himself swindled by tho stock gamblers, who sooner or later get control of every company, he can noither recover the amount ho loses by tho depreciation of the stock, nor get any satisfaction by prosecuting the swindlers. Take the late so-callod "reform" movement in Erie, when the English stock speculators combined with a party 011 this side and under tho lead of Gov. Dix, Gen. Sickles and others took possession of the general ofllccs by force, bought up majority of tho directors, and established a new management. After that date honesty was to be the rule. Hut according to tho late circular sent out by the committee of still another reform campaign, the crowd of reformers who overthrew Gould & Co., are the worst set that have ever yet mismanaged the road. At any rate, reading both sides of the present controversy In Erie, you canuot avoid the conviction that both parties are "going Tor what they can make," utterly regardless of the interests of those innocent people who purchased the stock In the hope ot receiving an income therefrom. It is just about the same in othor corporations. And those which now stand well, with a fund of accumulated profits, are for that very reason tho more likely to be proceeded against by the stock gamblers. Some of thfcse longheaded speculators know how to rob a company "according to law" at every step. The lessen to bo drawn from these lamentable facts is that people who have money should invest it in Governmentor State securities, or in real estate mortgages, or, In real estate Itsell. They should put it where they can have control over it, or at least where they can give it their personal attenticr
THE Horticultural Society has raised a fine breeze in Printing House Square. At tho last meeting, Monday, the subject for discussion was "What bookB and papers are best for family reading?" and the astonishing fact came out that the members of tho society pretty unanimously regarded the bible as superior, for family reading, to the dally papers.
Of course tho Express promptly and emphatically denounced such a sentlmept, and in a red-hot editorial, proved the bible a very Immoral sort of a beok, and the people upholding it,'base hypocrites.
The Gazette admitted that the bible was better than any of the dallies except the Gazette.
Tho Journal took a position on the fence and declined to express any opinion before Monday morning.
The Banner swore some frightfal arid perfectly untranslatable Dutch oaths, directed principally against "Der groesoedle Potter," and immediately ordered two extra kegs of beer.
Tbe Mall—Well "let tbe galled jades winoe, our withers are unw^n^." Ai« Eastern paper auggesta that the pin-beck skirts are a delbslon and a snare that tbe Intention ta to make them tighter, until finally it will be necessary to have one skirt for each limb. Then, preato I the great reform will have been accomplished trousers for women will have been Introduced, and good-bye liberty. This la not all. Astheaklrta grow tighter, tbe trousers become looser. Modeat men do not now pretend to ascend any great elevation In public or in the daytime. It ia plain that a foul conspiracy baa been formed between tbe tailors and the dreaunakers to change tbe relation* of the sexea. There Is no time to be to*. That which a abort time ago waa the •tenter aex most rise or be forever flailem. The men must get tighter and the women looser—the reference, of course, only to garments—or there will be bloodshed. Ills better to die freemen than to live slavea.
TBB result of the elections last Tuesday, was a surprise to the whole conntry, and sbowa an extraordinary reaction in fkvor of the Republican party.

New York ia still in doubt with the probebriities In fbvor of a small Democratic majority. As a whole, the result can only be taken as a great Republican victory.

Rev. C. R. Henderson's sermon, on Sunday evening last, was a reply to the lecture of that amiable Pagan, Wong Chlnfoo, at Dowllng Hall, the Sunday evening previous. It showed deep research, a surprising familiarity with the subject—China and Confucianism—and a breadth and liberality that oould not fail to commend the speaker to all as a man of ideas and honesty.
THERE are many trilling matters In this world whl sclenoo will probably never be able to account for on natural principles.

LAST Sunday night the burglars made a descent on Lena, a station on the I. & St. L. railroad, in Clay county, and robbed the store of G. W. Hedges of tobac co, liquors, jewelry and other articles. They made an entrance by cutting through the weather boarding. The villians stole the only copy of Tho Mail that Mr. Hedges had on band, but fortunately he bad read it almost through.
THAT grave looking young man at the Adelphi tbe other night, waa either precious greon or blessed with a fine sense of irony. At the conclusion of tbe first part he leaned over to a neighbor who was dllligently engaged in stamping his feet in token of enthusiastic approval of the performance, and remarked, appreciatingly, that the Young Men's Christian Association was quite a different thing from what he had always supposed."

A CALL baa been signed by a large number of leading citizens for a public meeting to be held at the Court House next Monday evenlng»to consider what we may do towards helping to make the approaching Centennial the grand event of the time and age. Colonel Thompaon, Mr. Voorheea and State Agent Greene will each address the meeting. Let everybody turn out, ladlea as well as gentlemen, and make tbe meeting a grand demonstration.
'X YOUNG married gentleman, whom we all knew, came softly tip-toeing out of bis house, tbe other morning, and after carefully and noiselessly closing the door behind htm, passed down tbe steps and up tbe street as if treading on air. One look at his beaming face and proudly carried bead would have made it evident to the moat unobservant person that something tremendous bad hap pened, and by reason of It, his heart waa overflowing with love for all God's creatures. Not to keep the reader in suspense, It waa a baby—* boy baby at that and the first of any kind—that canned this blissful state of feeling. A* he passed up
tbe
street, happy and radiant, his
passage was Interrupted by tbe recumbant form of a cow In the middle of the sidewalk. What did he dot Did be arooae her with a vicious kick and tell her harahly to "Ifubey 1" aa had been hie habit, and a* he would have done only yeaterdayT Not at ail. Pausing a moment, be gently touched ber in the flank with tbe toe of his boot, almost caressingly, and old with a smile of ineflkble sweetnMt "Oft up cow: get OQt of P*pa1i way!"
DEFYING THE "BOOT8HINE8." He waa a long, hollow-cheated, weak eyed youth with an agricultural cast of oountenanos and anew overcoat, and as he emerged from the poatoffiee four dirty-faced hoodlums with boxes slung over their ahouldeni assailed him with the inevitable "bootahlne, mister bootshine He stalked majestically through and past them, as one confident in his own strength and the rectitude of bis intentions, without deigning them any reply. But the lmpe followed him, and on the opposite sido of the street were reinforced by throe more of tho brotherhood. Whether the young man really wanted his boots polished, or whethor ho succumbed to the Impudent remarks about "them gunboats," and made up his mind to give them a job to get rid of them, is a dark and impenetrable mystery but at any rate he stopped on tbo corner of Sixth and Main, and hesitatingly placed a No. 12 "stoga" on one ol the halfdozen boxes that were instantly presented for his patronage, all the rest of the bo}*s, as is thoir invariable custom, squatting around on their boxes and overlooking tho job.
When the work was completed tho tall youth dropped the nickel, which ho had all tho timo been holding in hia hand, into the extended hand of the perspiring artist and was preparing to move on, when ho was indignantly informed that an additional nickel was due.
Hey he exclaimed, stopping suddenly, as 11 not exactly comprehending. 'Nother nickel a comin'," was tho composed reply.
Another nickel! what for?n "Fur shinin'yer boots that's wot ftir!" in an injured tone. "Here—come! You can't play that on me. I've had my boots blacked aforo to-day, an' I know what you cliargo!" "Mobbo yo wasn't aweer that this beer's Cbcwsday," rospouded "bootshine," bis tone changing into ono of cutting irony. "Wo alius oharge ten cents on Cbewsdays don't we Rill? don't wo Roach
Course we do," answered the party first appealed to, with the utmost promptness 't's tho law now. We're boun' ter charge ten cents on Chowsdays for the protection of the widders and orphlans. An' its worse nor that qgi Fridays. Fridays wo have ter charge a quarter. Boun' ter do it or git arrested —wishermadvo ef wc kalnt!"
Well I don't care," said tho bcleagured victim, "I never did pay more'u fivo cents, an' I'm not goin' to pay more'n that nowand ho started Impetuously dowu tho street.
But every boot-blnck snatched his box from off the sidewalk and went troopafter him, tho injured cberub who bad performed tbe work, digging his dirty knuckles Into his eyes and uttering tho most dismal and oar-piercing bowls of bitter griof, and all tho rest booting and jeering at tho distracted victim for trying to cheat a poor hard:werking bootshine with a mother and five children to support, out of his bard earnings.
At first, tbe young man turned savagely and threatened to tear tbetn limb from limb, and even attempted to put tbo threat Into execution, but they easily eluded his grasp and redoubled their out-cries/ Then this desperate young man clutched his hair with both hands and tried to shutout the Jiorrid din but notwithstanding his painful agita* tion, tho fact became quickly evident that escapo by flight was out of tbo question. Half a square from tbe starting plaee, there was a halt and a capitulation. The other nickel was paid and the victorious bootshines retired In high glee, while the toll young man with the agricultural cast of countenance wont his way dreaming dreams of a terriblo vongancc.
A TRAM of borsos belonging to Mr. Ellsworth, a gentleman residing on the other side of the river, ran away Tuesday from near tho intersection of Fourth and Main stroota. Tbey started west at a frightful gait and, to tbe amazement of everyone, passed through the bridge without touching upon either side. Tbey kept tbe grade till near the trestle-work, but apparently receiving afresh scare, just before reaching it, plunged down tbe side of tho grade which is very steep and bordered with trees, and tore tho buggy to kindling wood. Both of tho horses wero Injured—one of them very seriously.
THE "English Tea Party," under tho ausploea of tho Young Men's Christian Association, will be held at Dowllng Hall on Friday evening, tbe 12th Inst. The price of admission will bo seventyfive cents which will entitle tbe person purchasing a ticket, to supper, and there wlU be no other mode of soliciting money, but tbe supper. There will be twenty tablea, presided over by ladies, and the Tea Party will, undoubtedly be one of the pleaaentest afflUrs of the season. Good music has been secured.
FRAXK LATHAM was wrested four miles south of Saline, on Tueaday, by Fred Stoecker, of the revenue department, and Chief of Police Sltewmaker, on tbe charge of Illicit dbtilling, and his still and whole apparatus captured. He Is a yeung man, native of Kentucky, and seem* to take things very coolly. He says be knew he waa violating tho tow, but thought he would "tako his chances." He wss put away in tho county jail.
Ta* line of street railway up Sixth street will be built at cnoe—in a born. There's a man In Nebraska who says thai stockholders in railroads, of whatever kind, are tbe most accomplished llani In this country, but the statement may not be entirely true. At least wo can't vouch for ita truth in regard to all kinds of railroads. .***
