THE JUDGE USKIRK INVESTIGATION.
Our oandid opinion is that the Judge was not well posted on prloes of Sole Leather Trunks, Leather Traveling Bags and Satchels, for had he sent to Terre Haute for these artioles be surely could have taved the State considerable money, as Mr. V. Q. Dlckhout, our Popular
and Traveling Bng|
Manufacturer, declares that ho can disoount any Indianapolis trunk house fortyper cent.
To prove yourself tho above statement, please call at Dickhout's Factory, and be astonishod at the low figures of a fine Trunk or Traveling Bag, which he is selling at present, at Main, between Sixth and Seventh streets.
FRUIT AND NUTS.
The first time you happen to be passing Whito A Mewhinnoy's, stop in front of the door and take a good look at that fruit stand and tho arrangement of the show-windows. In tho latter are displayed all different species of nuts known to this market and of tho finest qualities thai are to be had. The display of fruit is also splendid. White A Mewhinney's is headquarters for these things, they furnishing all tho rest of the trade. To get the best call on them.
THE UPRIGHT GRAND. Tliis is one of the handsomest instruments ovc seen in this city. Like all tho rest of the Chickering pianos it is perfect in tone and will commend itself to any lover ol music. Messrs. Paige «fc Co. aro the Terre llauto agents for all of Cliickerlug's pianos and also for the Mason A Hamlin organs. Give them a

MICH AND RARE WERE THE GEMS SHE WORE." She bought her entire outfit at T. II. Riddle's, and she told us confidentially that she had first visited every other jewolry establishment in tho city and that she was perfectly confident that she had saved fully thirty per cent, by buying of Riddle, besides having the satisfaction of knowing that the goods were more elegant and fashionable than tbe others kept.
THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME Will please take notice that "The Central Book Store" is headquarters for everything in the book and stationery line and when they have letter paper, pen?, pencils, inks, games, school books, books on history, books on travels, books of poetry, books on art, scienco, religion or love, th*t "The Central" is the place to buy them. Visit The Cen. tral early and often if you would live happily and die in peace.
FIX UP THE HOME.
1
All over town there is a very praiseworthy movement in the way of improving painting and ornamentation ot dwelling houses, of door yards, fences and sidewalks. If any readers of The Mail want the services of a good painter our advice is to call on J. W. Roberts, under Dickhout's trunk factory, on Main street, west of the Terre Haute House. He gives personal supervision to all work, employs the best painters, uses goed stock, and his prices are so low that pther painters in town dislike to cotne in competition with him.
CHANGE OF BASE.
Cal. Thomas, the jeweler and watchmaker, has moved back on Main street, occupying half of the room recently vacated by S. R. Freman. His Fourth street house will not be closed, being left in good hands, but he will make his headquarters at the Main street house, near Sixth. •. v/!
People who want good g*ods will consult their interest by visiting the store of Milier A Arleth, Fourth street, between Main and Ohio, whenever they want harness, collars, saddles, whips, lap robes, horse covers or anything in that line.

COMFORTS OF WATER. Except for putting out fire, the valuable water works are of no benefit to our people, if the mains are not tapped. Every family along the lines of pipes should at least have a bath tub erected, and the
pipeB
once in, the water can be
used for so many purposes and is so handy, that you will wonder how you get along without it. When you do have the water put in your house, be careful who you get to do the plumbing—for this requires experience, and good judgment, good materials and good workmanship. Moore and Hagertv, on Main street, just above Sixth, are giving special attention to plumbing this season, and are executing all work in such a way that there can be no cause for future complaints, and their prices will be found satisfactory.
