TKKRE AUTE.

[From Thursdays Dally Mall.]' LAtrr evening at tha Congregational Church William F. Arnold, Deputy Postmaster, and Miss Mary Foote were married in the prese. ce of friends and acquaintances, who filled the house. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. F. Howe. After the marriage service the newly married couple received their friends at tho residence of the bride's father, J. A. Foote, Esq.

Mr. Arnold having so lonp and so well filled has present public position, has, by his affable manners and accommodating spirit, won the esteem of all and the sincere friendship of many. The br de has been equally esteemed in the social circles of the city, and it is seldom that a young touple start in life with so many earnest well wishes as do Mr. and Mrs. Arnold. 00.1 Ll COAL.' 01VE US COAL/

For the past two weeks it has been almost an impossibility for a dealer to I3fet a car load of coal, on account of the illness of the miners in Clay county. Enough were well at a time, however, to barely supply the city, but within the last few days not ten bushels have been brought to" this city, as the miners all quit work to taken hand in electioneering, and they on Id not be induced to go to work until yesterday morning, when a few went into the mines, while others arc holding off to sec the result of the election. The mines will all be worked this week, however, and you can live on your neighbor's coal for a few days.

TRAMPS-

'flie prospects at present are that this city will be literally overrun with tramps this winter. Rail road men report that in the cast the country is full of these p^sts and they are all making their way west and south. Terre Haute has always been rather liberal to this undeserving class of people and when one tramp is well fed it is like sending a telegraphic dispatch, it travels all the country, and the hand that feeds them is forever surrounded.

The city is having a comfortable home built for these persons, and when one of them calls and in a whining voice asks asristance it is far better, both for the trump and yourself, to send him to this retreat where he will receive a good hot bowl of soup and ji bunk on which to sleep. Money given to a tramp as a general ruie is money thrown away. •.

THE GRAND OPENING

OF FALL MILLINERY AND LA DIES FURNISHING GOODS AT T. II. RIDDLE'S CELEBRA-

TED TRIMMING STORE

The great event in business circles this week has been the grand openiug of millinery and fancy goods at T. II. Riddle's famous "Trimming Store." Twice a year Mr. Riddle opens his store for tho exhibition of fine goods in bis line, and the fashions and styles in ladies furnishing goods, for all this region, are regulated by the display then made. Tl.as® "openings" are viaited by not only by all the ladies within reach of Terre Haute, but by all the other city dealers, and dealers in all the town9 surrounding this. Everything for the coming seas 'it takes its run on the authority of Mr. Uiddle and the''Trimming Store."

The opening for this Fall began on Thursday morning and will continue until 0 o'clock this evening. Thousands of people have been in attendance, and it is safe to say that the exhibition has never been more satisfactory. Mr. Riddle returned from New York last Saturday, where, for several weeks his entire time has been devoted to the selection of the most beautiful things to be found in that market, in the line of ladies oods. The result appears on bis tables counters, shelves and show cases to-day.

A representative of the mail called there this morning, and after making bis way through the excited crowds of handsomely dressed ladies that throng the store, back past the bewildering array of jewelry, silverware and fan?y notions, and ioto the part of the store devoted to the display of fashionablo millinery and ladies furnishing goods, found bimself really so bewildered by the gorgeous display of beautiful things that ho utterly lost confidence in his powers of description and frankly confessed his inabililty to do the subject justice. Tho princpal attraction to the ladies present seemed to be the magnificent display of trimmed hats, many of these are imported and certainly are the finest tbat wo have ever had the pleasure of examining. Several of these cost over forty dollars in France.The large variety of beautiful flow* ere caught tbo eye of the writer next. Ho never imagined anything so lovely in that line could be produced by art. Around the aides of the room hundreds of yards o£ tbo richest sliks, velvets and serges, in all shades—cardinal, navy blue, olive, corn and all the resthang in graceful festoons. These silks, serges, diagonals and rich velvets—of course we do not remember the namesare all for use as trimmings. Tbey are auperb in appearance and we beard frequent remarks from the ladies present proving that they were much finer than had over leen seen in Terre Ilaute before. In feathers, certainly nothing conld be finer. One case wo wore told contained almost one thousand dollars worth. Au elegant bridal vail and outfit attracted much attention and was elegant enough for any occasion of the sort for which it is intended.

It would be impossible in a hurried, notice like this to mention the many elegant things In laces, ruchfng, ribbons hosiery, and untrimmed hats, as well as a number of other articles all beautiful and rich, which are to be seen on this floor.

We were hurried up stairs where were displayed the stock of flowers, ribbons, feathers, velvet ties, hosiery, glaves and fancy and variety goods, with the covers of the cases removed for the convenience of wholesale customers, many of whom were busy making their selections and pure! ascs. This room is the full length of the building and was quite as -ittractive as the first.

Above it ia still another floor especial Iv devoted to untrimmed hats, and this floor, like both the others, was covered with customers. There is no kind of doubt that T. H. Riddle, in the fall trade of 1876, is ahead of any dealer in the line of fashionable millinery and ladica' trimming goods in the State of Indiana, if indcecl ne does not excel any in the West.

The Big Brother.

BY MATG.UtET K. 8AXG8TER. There is nobody in the household who has

many chances to make the rest happy as the big brother. He is the pride and delight of father and mother, and the younger children fairly worship him. ffis si«ters arc ready to do as he wishes, and unless he is very unkind and disobliging, they are quite right in this disposition for the big brother is always supposed to be a manly, generous fellow, willing to help weaker people and ready to lend a hand to those who need it.

I remember one big brother whom I greatly admired. He was abouteighteen years old, tall and broad-shouldered, with Or faint shadow of moustache on his upper lip. IIo was studying hard for his profession, but there was not a moment when he could not lay his books aside to solve difficulty for Lulu or Jennie, whose parking troubled them, and he never said an ungentle word to the little brother ten years his junior, who came to him with his kites ana skate-straps nnd broken toys to be mended. The manly big brother lost nothing by his kindness and suavity, and now thnt he is a physician, a little bald, and with boys of his own to bring np, the same gentleness of demeanor recommends him to patients and friends.

Some boys think it is very fine to a fleet rudeness and hluntncss of manner at home. They takeoff their hats very gallantly to tho young ladies who reside in the opposite house, but it is too much trouble to be courteous to their own sisters. They scorn the idea of encumbering themselves with a little brother or cousin who wants to go and see a procession, or to accompany them on an excursion. It does involve some self-sacrifice to give up one's careless independence on a journey and be responsible for the safetv of a child but then if all the world were looking out simply for itself, where would the happiness go to?

Relieve me, boys, that the people for whose opinion you really care, will valne and honor you more for your habitual tenderness, good nature, steadiness, ami patience with those who are younger than yourself, than for your most brilliant performances in the school room. If yon are tempted sometimes to be cross and petulant, to say sarcastic things to those who cannot ensilv answer them, nnd to snub your little sisters and brothers, a«k yourselves whether or not after all you do not love these home folks better thau any others in the world? Are you not sure ot their love for you? Then it is not worth while to be amiable and lovely to th:i»e whose love makes earth dark indeed? I often think if we arc more easeful to be kind in little filings, we would he repaid by the comfort we should have in our own consciences. A kind, pleasant word even in the way of reproof costs no more than a gruff one. and is a hundred fold better. If you doubt it, try it.—[Christian at work.

A Wovcl Diforce-Mttrrlcd for Eight Years, and then Noparating Bccausc ofa Prcvlotw

Marriage. [From the Davenport Gazette.J Anew ense was entered on the docket of the District Court, now in session. It was entitled *'B. R. Babcock against Fannie liabcock." It seemed to be an urgent case, for Judge Hayes heard it last evening, at chambers, and disposed of it.

It appears that eight years since Miss Fannie Ilurd and Mr. Babcock were united in marriage. The bride was highly respected by licr acquaintances, and well known here as a music teacher. Four years of happy wedded life passed, and then the wife, impelled by conscience, confided a troublesome secret to the husband. Years before her union with him she was the wife of a man in Pennsylvania no clergyman nor justice had officiated at that marriage—the two promised each other to be true to cach other, live as husband and wife, and made vows as solemn as though a preacher had joined them, and kept house and lived as a married couple, nnd were respected as such by their relatives and the neighlorhood. After some rears the husband went awav, and then llie wife came west. What troubled her was the fact that she became the wife of Mr. Bibcock without having been legally divorccd from her first hnsb«nd, who "was still living, and without informing Mr. Babcock of the facts.

She madt her confession, as stated, four years ago, and during the period since, until recently, Mr. Babcock made no motion of eon»ejucnce for separation in fact, a child, their second onoj has been born to them during this period. But lately both parties have become impressed' with* the idea that thev were not doing right in living together, their conscicnccs were burdened, and thev felt that separation was the only course allowable. Judge Hayes heart! the facts in the case he made himself sure that the poor, sorrowing woman waa perfectly free in her •wnt to the proceedings instituted— questioned her thoroughly. She had implicit confidence in her husband, and felt Just as he did about it. So the Judge granted a decree declaring the marriage of Mr. Baboock and,' Miss Hard a nullity on account of previous marriage of the lady, which had nave? been set aside,

child (to be retained by tbe

father and the other by the mother. The proceeding* were not instituted for the purpose of obtaining a divorce from tbe vioo* husband aad then remarriage, wparatkm is intended to be final.

A TOUCHING ROMANCE

Mad Termination ofa Prom-1 tiling Union.

A Story of Bloated 'llopwu

The San Franciseo Bulletin has Ac following: "More than a year ago the Bulletin published under the heading of a 'Charnaing Romance' one of the truest stories dt worthy love and laudable ambition ever told. Briefly related, the facts were these: Lieutenant Philip Read, a young army officer, heard in a Topeka church choir a voice so sweet and musical, so tenderly 1 sympathetic, that his soul was touched to know more of the sweet singer. lie sought her acquaintance, was introduced, and found a young lady struggling against the hardships of pecuniary misfortune to make headway. £he was ambitious to go abroad and study under the great masters in the foreign lands of |oetry and song. Her genius, her aspiration, and more than all, the nobility of her character and her modest worth, found readv admiration in the mind of tli? young officer. He made her causc his own, and so readily responded to every aspiration off •her young life that ho pledged his own fortun to enable her to goto Italy nnd there finish her musical education in the best schools of Florence and Milan. Poer in purse but rich in womanly pride, she declined to accept the giit of so much money. Alone and with the aid of money earned in local concerts and private tuition, she visited Rojton and turther progressed 'toward the fame which she longed to achieve. ller refusal to accept money increased rather than diminished the young officer's regard for her, and he rcncwod the offer of aid to Minnie Beals, for such was her name, with a proposal of marriage. They were married in New York one morning more than four years ago. At neon on the weddingday the bride sailed for Italy and the husband started for Arizona, where he had been ordered on military duty. Frequent letters brought him tiding- of her success. Her voice waa like a "string of pearls," said the renowned impressario. Time wore on and she made her debut in tho finest theatao of Florence to a dense assemblage df inudc lovers. Fortune seemed to smila, and she secured an engagement to sing in the leading theaters of Europe. Ilsr singing in Constantinople elicited tho highest praise from the press and the populace.

Durint the past year every letter exchanged octween the two referred to the happiness reserved for the reunion. Tbe aim of their lives wvmcd to have been realized, and they hsvl hy common consent centered every hope and thought bi expected enjoyment of \yhat had been obtained at the cost of so many sacrifices and the peril of so many adverse chancsa. She had fixed the date of her departure from Italy next November. Fate fixed it otherwise. A single sentence from a strong mnn, utterly crushed and broken down, concludes the story:
