KDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

TWO EDITIONS

Of this Paper are published. Tbe FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening baa a large circulation In the sui^ounding towns, where it is sold by newsboys ant1 agents. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Eren lng, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city, and the farm ers of this Immediate vicinity.

Every Week's Issue is, in fact, TWO NEWSPAPERS, which all Advertisements appear ONBOHABOK.

for

THE Presidential muddle Hayes tens to an end. IT is better to be born lucky than & Democrat.

GOLD is getting down so low you can almost see it.

IT is now affirmed that Cinderella' fairy slippers were made of blue glass.

BUSINESS men anxiously await the settlement of the Presidential dispute and other small bills.

JEFF DAVIS is writing a history of his public caieer. It will not include the sleeping-car adventure.

THE present Congress has but eighteen working days left, but the Texas Pacific Railroad lobbyists are not discouraged.

WHO would have thought that as straight a man as Senator Plumb would have become such fruit for the punsters

THE Governor has appointed Major George W.Russ, ex-Independent, Adjutant General of Indiana. The,, salary is $700. V-*

FOUR weeks from next Monday and Rutherford B. Hayes will be inaugurated President of the United Staites—perhaps.

Miss KATE FIELD has accepted a regular place on the London Examiner, which is classed as "a ponderous English weekly."

THE Indianapolis Journal says that ex Governor Hendricks proposes to take a trip to Europe, leaving in May, the object being recreation.

THE poor little Spitz dog is catching it on all siles. The New York papers try to make it appear that no other kind of a dog ever has hydrophobia.

THE New York Commercial Advertiser reflects the sentiments of the people, too, when it says, "Real estate proprietors find their taxes decidedly own-er-ous in these hard times."

IT is estimated that eight million cigars are consumed daily in this country and that more than seven million of them are smoked by men whose income is less than two dollars a day.

ROCHESTER Democrat: Mr. Beecher says a million dollars is a very poem. We desire to state that this artice of poem will be accepted if we have to crowd out advertisements to make room for it. __________

THE American Paper-Car-Wheel Company, of Hudson, New York, has been sold out under legsl proceedings. The company had lots of faith in the invention, but lacked the capital to put it in popular use.

ONE of Adam Forepaugh's elephants has given birth to a baby elephant, at Germantown, Pennsylvania. It is the first ever born on American soil and is valued at 920,000. Mother and baby are "doing as well as could be expected."

ST. LOUIS is having a course of dime lecturers. They are given on Sundays, and are reported as only tolerably well patronized. Carl Shurz delivered the first lecture and has been followed by some of the best talent in the country.

SCARLET fever is raging to an unprecedented extent in Chicago and there is almost a panic on the subject. During the month of January there were one hundred and sixty-nine deaths from the disease, and the rate has not diminished since. ___=s^======a^== **4

Now let us have a general under standing, says the Boston Dispatch, that the Supreme Court knows some law, and that a decision in which five picked Judges take part is as likely to be constitutional as not and, further, that the Judges have as much sense of honor and justice as any partisan Congressman or newspaper editor. It would be well to agree on this in advance.

IT is proboble that the public is beginning to acknowledge to a slight incredulity with reference to the "Keely motor." The public shouldn't do it. Perfect confidence is a plant of slow growth, but a Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Sun says there is an unusual activity in Keely circles and revived hopes of immediate results." Let us give the mysterious inventor another chance.

A MANIA on the subject of bine glass for sanitary purposes, threatens the country. Gen. Pleasonton, thf originator of tbe madness, is trying to prove that blue glass Is mightier than the sword, pinning hooks or anything else and we suppose I bout such another furore may be expected as there was a few years ago over hydropathy. Hardware men would do well to secure a good stock of blue glass.

THERE was a great outcry when it was proposed to settle the matter of selecting a fifth judge by chance, though nobody supposed then that Hideo's "fool friends" in Illinois, would throw their only chance entirely away. f,

A PARTY oi English and German capitalists have purchased 3,000,000 acres of the Florida State lands, and are organizing an emigration company to settle there. The amount paid the State for the lands will pay off the State debt and leave a balance in the treasury, •.?

ANYBODY specially interested in the Congressional investigations now going on in which Littlefield, big Field, Maddox, Wells and other scoundrels figure prominently, is respectfully referred to the metropolitan dailies. Life is too short and space in this paper too valu ble to waste in that way. fr

THE

Spiritualists have made prompt

connections with Commodore VanderT bilt'snew place of abode, and communicate with him with the greatest ease. If there isn't a through line, with Terre Haute connections, for passenger travel, established withiu the next sixty days we shall begin to doubt.

AWAY along last winter Bob Ingersoll contributed an article to Carl Pretzel's paper, showing that a man's "fool friends" did him more damage during a political campaign than all his enemies were able to do. The fact couldn't have had abetter or more conspicuous illustration than is afforded by the recent action of Tilden's "fool friends" in Illinois electing David Davis to the Senate. That action laid Mr. Tilden out "dead'r'n a mackerel."

INTIMATIONS have been given out, by a chairman of one of the Democratic Investigating Committees of the House that in the event of the commission deciding in favor of Gov. Hayes the friends oi Tilden will apply for a writ of quo warranto to try before the Supreme Court his right to take the office. It appears then that the Compromise Bill has been regarded -by some of these patriots as a "heads I win tails you lose" sort of a game for the Presidency.

AN interesting communication from our spiritually-inclined friends, the Pence Hall Committee, is unfortunately crowded out of this issue, but will appear next week. They have made an important discsvery in the science of materializing spots of lamp-black or printer's ink surreptitiously applied to spirit hands, by which is clearly demonstrated—to their entire satisfaction—that black can be white and white black as easy as "rollingoff a log."

MR. HOLM AN, the typical demagogue from this State, received some rather rough handling in Congress the other day, from one of his own party associates. The squabble occurred over a proposal to cut down the pay of members of Congress from $5,000 to $4,500. This was characterized by Mr. Waddell, of North Carolina, as a sample of Holman's "two cent economy," of which he (Waddell) was "tired and sick," and of which he inferred from the result of the late election that the country was tired and sick also. 1

A NEW eight-page paper with "patent insides" and half "patent outsides," Democratic in politics and called the "Bowling Green Review," has recently been started by Jason W. Browu, at Bowling Green, Indiana. We have received Number 1 of Vol. 1. The rirst editorial paragraph (original) is this, which is so old it smells fishy: "Bennet(Mav) return to Jiew York soon, and he may not."

The second is a lie of this captivating pattern: "Governor Anthony, of Kansas, raises his voice for war unless Hayes is counted in."

This is as far as we've gone in it yet..

THE Moody movement, says the Christian Union, is in reality a combination and partial combination of three movements: 1. A movement toward an active Christian union, not on the basis of any creed l»ut in that of the Bible alone a union not to establish a school of philosophy, but to promote active Christian work. 2. A movement for the more thorough study of the Bible accelerated by the importation of English ministers who are more Biblical and less dogmatic than their American contemporaries. 3. A movement for the ingathering of outsiders, which has been gaining headway for fifteen years. Tbe conclusion is that the power is in tbe movement, not in tho man, and that Mr. Moody's success is due to the fact that he has compiehended the spirit of tbe age and has conformed to it.

THE Toledo Blade calls attention to the fact that while the peaudo aristocracy of tho South has sedulously cultivated tbe idea that work of all kinds is degrading, the genuine aristocracy of the Old World are striving to undo the mischief which tbe Inculcation of a similar idea eenturies ago has done. Noblemen in all parts of Europe are setting the example of engaging in some useful pursuit— not only for tbe moral effect upon others, which is a secondary consideration, but for the training and occupation which sach pursuits afford, and in many instances the actual profits.

The leading noble in Sootland, the Duke of Argyle, father-in-law to the Princess of Lorne—rQueen Victoria's daughter—lias educated all his younger sons to some business. The next son to the Marguis of Lorne was for along time a clerk in a mercantile house in New York, and the others are similarly employed. Tbe only son and heir of the late Duke of Qalierdo—the wealthiest man in Italy—has decidedly refused

HAUTE SATURDAY EV BNlNCt--IVIAi

to accept bis father's position in society and politics, and will continue in his present position as professor in a college. The latest intelligence of nobility "going into trade," is that tbe son of the late Lord Ribidesdale has heroine a clerk in the Bank of England.

Tbe deductions are that this is the result of more intelligent ideas in relation to the duty every man owes to society. No one, either man or woman, has the right to be a drone, but each owes it to his fellows to contribute something to tbe general production, over and above what he consumes for his support. No one is exempi from the obligation to return more to the world than he takes away.

THE movement which ended in deposing the Rev. Phoebe Hanatord, pastor of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Jersey City, originated with and was successfully carried tbrengb, almost wholly, by the female portion of her congregation. The old maids and the young ladies of the congregation (it is said) wanted a male pastor, and they packed the meeting that was to decide tbe matter. The resolution to depose Mrs. banaford was adopted by a vote of 42 to 40. The minority threaten to secede and organize new church, and the end of this controversy, illustrating woman's injustice to woman, is not yet. Mrs. Hanaford received a salary of |2,500 per annum, and accepted the call to the Jersey City pulpit in 1874. She has filled the pulpit acceptably to everybody except the classes named above.

THE Electoral Commission have decided tbe Florida matter in favor of Hayes, and this morning the Secretary of the Commission delivered to the President of the Senate the lormal report to that effect. The decision settles the points (first) that the Commission has no authority to hear evidence outside of the certificates of the government of the State, founded upon the determination of the canvassing board (second) that they cov.ld not consider as evidence any act of the Legislature or courts, in determining whom the State had appointed as Electors, after the day the Electors gave their vote (third) that T. C. Humphreys was eligible as an Elector.' Practically, the decision settles the Oregon matter in favor of the Republicans, and gives them encouragement in regard to Louisiana. The vote on the decision was 8 to 7.

BEECHER WEPT.

And so Did Many of His People, on Parting With Him for a Few Weeks.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—At the close of his sermon in Plymouth Church, yesterday, Mr. Beecher announced to the congregation that he would not preach to them again for seven weeks and there was a possibility of his never returning. Man.y of the women were in tears. Mr. Beecher's voice choked with emotion. Tears struggled down his cheek as be gave whit he said might be his last testimony, and his words at tbe close of his parting address were scarcely audible.

Mr. Beecher lectures to night in Oswego. He preaches in Chicago on the 11th and 18th inst. and in St. Louis on tbe 18th of March. He has lecture engagements in Cleveland. Chicago, Milwaukee, Des Moines, Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and intends to return to Brooklyn in the latter part of March.

City and Vicinity*

WHY don't some Terre Haute baker introduce Vienna bread

THE fly-by-nights have fourteen night policemen to dodge at present.

THE Market Master reports gross receipts for the month of January at |60.

No- family ought to be without a valentine they are selling three for a nickel.

MAPLE SUGAR is making its appearance. It tastes rather more of money than it did last year.

SEVERAL new residences are to be built on the lower end of south Sixth street the coming season. ...

THERE is to be another attempt to change tbe location of the steam fire engines. Let them alone where they are.

ALL the unpaved portion of south Sixth street is receiving attention. Contractors have been laying sidewalks all week.

STOVE-WOOD is cut very low in tbe Beck now and laid into the wagon bias. It

retails for a dollar a load, cash ia advance. THERE is one promising thing about

the year 1877 a man's wife won't be coaxing hitn all the time to take her to the Centonnial.

DURING the month of January there were twenty interments in the city cemetery—seventeen from the city and three from the country.

TERRE HAUTE has twenty-three churches, and yet there doesn't seem to be a superfluity of piety lying around the city's confines.

THE dizzy excitement of real estate speculations seems to have lost some of its fascinations. The heaviest operator at present is the sheriff.

A SECRET association has been formed in this city whose members are pledged to assassinate the first mischievous rustic that starts the regalar spring story that the fruit is all killed. Look out!

THE council has ordered the completion of the work on south Sixth street to Hulman street, as advertised and let some time ago. It would have been a serious injustice to property owners on this side of Osborne street for them to have done otherwise.

FIVE boxes of cigars and two dollars in copper cents was the net result of a burglarious raid on Dan Miller's Seventh street grocery.Saturday night.

THE base ball clubs will soon be running on full time. They will give employment to large number of young men and sort of break the monotony of political discussions in tbe newspapers.

THE horses attached to one of Mayer*s beer wagons ran aw«y, Wednesday, seriously damaging tbe driver, Mr. Xavier Graff, who resides on south Ninth Btreet, but breaking no bones, we are glad to say.

TAX collectors are again making it sultry for "delinquents," and tbe inr creased demand ou tbe drug stores for quick poisons, indicate that numerous suicides may be expected if the racket continues.

THE fire committee of the city council think it necessary to buy a couple of new bose reels. How long have the present ones been in use? Certainly not much more than four years—that is, one of them.

A LOCAL Mrs. Partington, suffering from an attack of biliousness, sent a note to Gulick fc Berry's drug store this week requesting "a quarters worth of some kind of easy-taking medinne that wonld bring the boils ff her stomach."

IT is stated that competent contractors have offered to rebuild Monniger's Tivoli—which cost $75,000—as it was before the.fire, for $20,000, the amount for which it was insured. The insurance companies are canvassing the question which to do—pay or build.

WILLIAM EDWARDS, driver of one of Mr. Jacob Brown's milk wagons, absconded this week with about $75 of his employer's money. William was a recent graduate of the Jeffersonville institution for klcptomaniaes, and will probably be given a chance to go back and "review."

Alvestis Hunt and Alice Stark.

\|.

No MAN ought to be asked to pay his taxes right here in the time of a great revival. Such obstructions to Christianity shouldn't be permitted under a republican form of government. Why, who can think of religion properly on the same day he happens to be reminded of his unpaid taxes?

WE are reminded by tbe Gazette that that the Lenten season begins this year on St. Valentines day—the 14th of Feb ruary—and ends on All Fool's day. It is easy enough to remember tbe first date, but we invariably forget the last, every year, till after we have disabled a foot trying to kick an old hat off from the sidewalk.

MARRIAGE LICENSES Tho following marriage licenses have been issued since our last report:

Thomas Cain and Minerva Bosworth. John C. Hagad and Anna J. Alvey.

Theodore H.Kloerand Katie Katzenbach. Joseph Ward and Rebecca Smith. Sylvester Winningbam and Sarah J. heek. George McHenry and Mary Alice Wyeth.

A COLONY of "single men" are going from this place to Texas, in March, to grow up with the country, the Gazette says, and they're going to represent every branch of trade, and they're not going to take any women along, and they're going to stick together through thick and settle near Eugene Heiner, at Dallas. Bet a quarter section of Texas land that the Utopian idea had its birth in the Cooper Lyceum. Who'll take it?

HERE is the arithmetical nut that is puzzling the sporting brain of Terre Hante. Can you crack it? "Seven men buy a billiard cuo and agree to give it to the one of their number who witis the most games. Each man has to play each of his companions one game, and no more. How many games would they play in all Now don't be to® confident about tbe answer and bet anything.

AND now it turns out that tho new Small-pox Hospital is only fit for a big boarding bouse and the depraved architect who made the plans, and tbe baseborn building committee who carried them through, and everybody else who had any hand or voice in the disgraceful business, is to be dragged forth from inglorious retirement and set upon by the irrepressible correspondent. It is sad and sorrowful indeed.

SUPERINTENDENT DAILY has this week secured homes for two orphan children who were under his care and a home for one last week. The first mentioned was an infant, seven months old, which was put in a good family in the city the second a litttle boy three years old, given to a farmer tho third child, two years old, was adopted by a respectable family hero in the city. He has five more siout boys of nine years and upwards at the Asylum, for whom he desires to find homes. There are also a number of women, able to do good work, who want places. Charitable peop'e should make a note.

"WHY don't you fellows steal something, set a bouse on fire, or something of that kind, and get .into the penitentiary, where you would at least be sure of a comfortable place to sleep and plenty to eat?" said a rolling mill man tbe other morning to a couple of tramps who bad slept all night in the warm ashes from the furnace, and who declared lugubriously that they hadn't bad a mouthful to eat for eleven days.

Well, I tell ye, boss," was tbe confidential reply, "me an' my pardner here did lay for a man yisterday. He brought a lot o' bogs inter town an' Bill an' me seen 'im git tbe money fur 'em, and we sbadered 'im all day—didn't we Bill?— an' cuss my liver ef th' wuzn't eight men started home with 'im in the evenin'! No use tacklin' a mob like that!"

THE Ladies Aid Society disbursed $1,400 in the way of charity during the month of

January,

and $3,200 since the

last Tuesday in October. They have given assistance, in money or supplies, to two hundred and fifty-nine persons, nrarly all of whomliave families. The sooiety consists of fourteen members, all of whom engage in the work in the most systematic manner. No aid is given to any but persons who have resided in the city more than one year. For theso facts we are indebted to the Evening Gazette.

ON Monday occurred the sale of property

for

delinquent city taxes. Four

hundred and ten pieces were advertised, but one hundred and ten of the owners paid before the day of sale. Of the three hundred remaining pieces only twentyfive were sold, there beiug no bidders for the rest. All that were disposed of went for the taxes even, cxcept one piece, the purchaser of that agreeing to take one fonrtb of it and liquidate tho pecuniary burden imposed for the support of the municipal government, and sail it square.

ON Saturday last, a young man by the name of Howard, tbe sen of a well-to-do farmer living six miles west of Paris, brought one of his father's horses to this city and had it sold at auction for fifty dollars and fifty cents. Receiving the money, less the commission, he shipped the saddle back home and lit out for parts unknown. Monday his father put in an appearance and claimed tho horse as stolen property. Upon the threat that the son should be arrested and sent to the penitentiary, if he refused, the old gentleman rather reluctantly paid back the fifty dollars and expenses before taking the horse away. It appears that the son, though not married, is about to become a father ami, having no taste for domestic life and none of the wherewithal with which to indulge his ardent and irrepressiblo desire for foreign travel, adopted this as tho only practicable method of raising the wind. Tbe old man will be apt to "raise" him if he ever comes back home, lie (was savage. 1 ......

Think of the Immortal William! Generations live and perish, dyna&tios rise and fall, reputations bloom and wither, and still is the Great Poet's fame fresh still his words are household words still talent draws from his inexhaustible fountains its supplies of wisdom and wit. And so shall it be till the crack of doom. Sbakspeare is the intellectual phenomenon of all time, as Rippetoeis the wonder of our day. Friends and fellow citizens, jou will honor yourselves and your race by liberally patronizing both. Read Shakspeare and buy groceries of Rippetoe and you will have performed the main part of your duty.

HUM ASTON 8 HAMS

Tbe readers of The Mail will read with pleasure tbe news that Humastsn's Hams are out of smoke. It has long been settled beyond disputo that tbe bams cured by our townsman are supe rior to any sold in this market. They are selected and cured under his own personal supervision, by a process exclusively his own,'and are certainly, at this season of the year a raro and toothsome table delicacy. He has them on sale singly or in any quantity at his office, No. 1 north Third street, in tbe Farrington Block.

OPERA SHOE STORE."

This is the name D. C. Greiner's new place of business, which was opened to the public this morning, is to be known by. The location is 407 Main street, opposite the Opera House—the building so long oocupied by Holmes' auction establishment. The large room on the first floor has been fitted up in the most elegant metropolitan stylo and will be by all odds the handsomest shoe store in the city. The shelving, cases, tables, carpets and everything else, is brand new, and the painting, paperbanging and decorations could not have been excelled in design or finish. New goods throughout have be9n purchased and aro arriving by every train It is Mr. Greiner's design to strike at once for the best trade in this and adjoining counties,an& some prices may fco looked for that will astonish tho native*.

DAVY CROCKETT.

We do not know of anything in the way ot amusements booked at tho Opera House until the 26th and 27th inst., when Frank Mayo will present his great creation of Davy Crockett. Of his recent appearance in Indianapolis tho Herald says:

Frank Mayo, in Davy

Crockett, drew

full bouses Tuesday and Weil end

evenings. This is one cf

ay

the plays

does not depend upon

that

scalpitiji,

or any other phase of high

murder,

or low trage­

dy, for its popularity.

It is

entirely

American, and not only American, but western. Its phenomenal characteristics are its simplicity

and nattiralnes—

characteristics which aro usually incompatible with popularity,

and,

in fact,

strangers to dramatic literature. From the moment the curtain Hues on the wild mountain scene until it falls at tho close of the last act, on Mr. and Mrs. Davy Crockett's first reception, the interest of the audience never lags. It is not that anxious interest that is feverish to know "bow it turns out," for most of them know beforoband. It is a sympathizing, earnest interest that comprehends tbe deep and pathetic anguish of Davy Crockett when he bandu Miss Vaughn her solicitor's letter, and confesses that he can't read and which pays him tbe priceless trioute of silent applause when he sinks, iaint and worn from his long vigil, at tbe door of the bunting lodge, a living barrier against tbe ravenous wolves. Davy is a type of backwoodsman rarely met with out ot books, and never in them. It would be a blessing to the world if the flamecovered novels, which tbe ad-venturous youth of the times devour with snch rapacious greed,contained heroes of Davy pattern but unfortunately they do not. Air. Mayo proves in this drama that genius can make simplicity grand
