WK invite attention to an article from tho Express speaking of the new Upright Lindeman Piano recently received at Kissner's. It is certainly a remarkablo instrument, but it is so well and faithfully described in the article referred to that further mention isunnessary. Prop in and see and hear it.

THE annual masquerade ball of the Torre Haute Mtwnnerchor took place at Dowllng Hall, Tuesday evening, ana was a highly- successful and pleasant affair, proving conclusively, as is regularly done each year, that this society know how to manage such things and cannot bo excelled. The music wa» by the Ringgold orchestra, tho supper by Rouser.

ON Wednesday afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. Milton Rogers, a well known and highly respected citizen of this county, died at his residence, four miles north east of the city, of yellow jaundice. Hisage was ilfty-seven years. Wo have not for a long time been called upon to record a death which will occasion more genuine sorrow or be more generally mourned in the community in which he has so long resided, than this of Milton Rogers. It was with such as him in view that one could exclaim with the poet, "An honest nun's the noblest work of God The funeral yesterday was one of the largest ever witnessed in the county, outside the city.

THE Women's Christian Association report quite a large and satisfactory list of donations of cash and supplies for tho proposed "Ilouie."

The girls ontering thia Home shall be put in the way of doing for themselves as soon as possible, ana the sewing machines donated to the Home shall be used in tho interest of the Home for the present, and as there are two or three seamstresses among those who will become present inmates, Christian ladies in the city can aasftt this movement by giving employment to those girls.

OUR readers will notice in this issue a new advertisement from Ryce's Carpet Hall. One of their mottoes is, "We study to please," and it is very evident that they are putting forth special efforts for the Spring trade. Their display of new styles of carpets and paper hangings is very attractive and prices are exceedingly low.

DANIEL MILLER has massed all his branch stores in this city at his headquarters, on north Fourth street, and with new plans, new goods and renewed energy proposes to outdo anything he has yet accomplished. He does an im mense trade. This may be judged from the fact that in less than one year past he hd£ bought over sixteen thousand dollars worth of sugar from one house, One day last week he sold goods to cus tomers in seven different counties. The attention of the reader is called to his. announcement in another column, giving tho reasons why he can underbill most of his competitors.

The Rothschild* have counted their money again. They have only $3,400,000,000. And when they got through counting they looked sad, and drew down their mouths and wrung their hands and said: "Such awful hard times! Oh if we'd only bought all our groceries at Rippetoe's the last few years we might liavo been well off now!" People of Terre Haute, take warning by the fate of these miserable men. Rippetoe's stores are at 521 Main street, and 113 south Fourth street, next door to the Market House.

Doubt that the stars are fire doubt that the earth doth move doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt that the choicest stationery to be found in Terre Haute is at Button A Hamilton's "Central" book storo. They keep also a full lino of blank-books and all the standard publications of every sort. For books and stationery therefore, go to Button & Hamilton's.

Good gracious! how the prices ai£ coming down." This was the remark of a lady while in the elegant grocery store of Gwynn Nay lor, on north Fourth street, on being told the remark ably low prices they are selling all kinds of groceries and country produce. It is the experience of almost every housekeeper that there is a great difference in prices at different grocery stores and we feel that we are doing our readers a favor in directing them to Gwynn tfc Naylor, the successors to B. H. Alvey

W. S. KYCE & CO.

THE recent advanco in cotton goods together with the Jarge stock laid in by W. S. Ryee it Co., which tbev are selling below eastern cost during the big sale that they are now having Ims increased their sales threefold. This is partly owintr to their liberal advertising

well as low prices. Read their change of advertisement.—[Express. The reason why W. S. Ryee A Co are doing tho largest retail trade in Terre Haute, and the largest they have done for years past, is because they have taken advantage of the market, and before the recent rise in goods laid in a largi stock, probablv the largest to-day by odds, in Terre Haute. Instead of wholesaling them to other merchants, which they could easily do at the prices they are selling them for, they are selling them to consumers, or in other words to their retail customers, at less than wholesale prices—l iving to their legitimate trade the advantages which they have secured to themselves. Tell us why W. S. Ryee «fc Co., should not be liberally and extensively patn nized, Read their change of advertisement.— ^Gazette.

It don't take people long or require much of an effort to find out what merchants keep the largest stocks and who sell the cheapest. This accounts in patt in connection with the liberal advertising, as well as immense purchases just before tho rise in Cotton goods, Cassimeres, Jeans and prints, (the latter they are selling irom 6% to 7 cents per yard) why W. S. Ryee fc Co. are doing so extensive a business as they are at the present time. It will well repay consumers of dry goods, who wish to save money in purchasing, to watch for W. S. Ryee A Co's change of advertisement, as well as far the merchant to look for market reports. Notice the change in to-daj''s Mail, then go and profit thereby.

Ntw Upright Piano rhal lias Never Been to llie Centena

A Brief Resum of the Marvelous Excellencies. Mr. Kissner's Pride in the Little

Wonder—His Merits as'T a Musician and Abil-, iti as a Piano.

Exnert and i)ea!er. V%"v-

[Frjm The Express.]

Anions the list of home attractions, anil, in thi« f\ er age of home necessities, found ihe noblest of all musical ins'ru uent*, the piano. There are few miilirs no in town or country that can afford i', wlro .ire wiilingtodo without one. Just what kind of a piaro to select puzzling question oftentimes The Express has tBpecial preference, but if our djubting readers had been with our reporter at Kissner's Palace of Mu^ic yesterday, the ques ion might have been petthd. Early yesterday morr.ing Mr. Kissner received one of the most truly elegant little upright pianos in the world, and we surrender space today for a description, wishing we could do'full justice to its excellencies.

It is irom the well known firm of Lindemann ASons, N. Y., whose fainrfis world-wide as first class makers. .This upright is but four feet in heighth, yet Lr tiemendous power, fullnes? of tone, prolongation, sweetneps and richness, for that clear singing quality, it is certainly a marvel. Its power ij indeed equal to a grand piano, ard when tde tone is forced by a powerful player like Mr. K., it yields only a sweet, clear, rich tone, nothing linny or metal lie about-it thi is due to ihe peculiar excellence of the agraffe which is made at the proper an gle, and is anchored into wood so that no metal can enter into the sound at all. This is a wonderful improvement, and developes atone that has all the soft, sweet, rich elements of music that belong to such woad instrument) as the harp, flute or guitar. Theie are three strings to each note another excellence. Iti singing qualities have been mentioned and, for searching ri hness, full sonority anc true elegance of tone, it is unsurpassed by any upright in the cily, and its power is such that two uprights of some other makvs could not afford the same volume of exquisite melody. A grave oojection to upright pianos has been overcome in the construction of this gfm among pianos, viz: Stiff action and difficult, movement of keys, but no pl.no is easier played upon. Indeed it is a perfect instrument. Mr. Kissner take* a pleasure in exhibiting i's superior merits, and as he sat down before if, the rarest tones issued at its touch. In deed that is a superiority he possesses over other dealers, he is at once a composer of merit, a manufacturer of pianos, and a player of markfd ability, so that hedo°sro! i'rpend upon the mgrits of his piano* at printed on paper, but can, from his thorough knowledge of the mechanical construction of all pianos, exhibit the merits of the instrument under consideration, an advantage no other dealer in Inrliana pjsesses. As he played, the iiidtrrment sounded at the distance of the length of the vast Palace of Music, much like an orchestra, so coiftpleie and exquisite is its melody. We really want t^e public to know how superb this little upright To resume its merits are: It ha'i never been to the Centeimial, and has no doubtful certificate of excellence from that institution, but stands on itn merits. It lias a peculiarly constructed and mo^t excellent agraife, which is *el in wood throughout, so that no metallic sound is ever produced. The action is extremely sensitive and correct. There are three fillings to every note, even down into the bass. It possesses wonderful power, revealing a grand piano in its strength and fullne?* of tone, built of the finest material, is one of (he smallest of upright piano?, is perfect in all its registers from the lowest to (he highest, and standing on its merits alone, is entitled be called what it certainly is. The Gim Upright of the world.

The La:gford Bindery, of this city, has purchased the right to manufacture and sell in this county and in twelve neighboring counties the add on Patent Blotter and Tablefa, one of the most convenient and valuable of modern inventions, for the use of businessmen. It consists of an arrangement by which blank letter-checks, receipts, drafts, etc. are held together in convenient packages for use, like a "scratch book," and with a blotter and calendar attachment. So cheap is its construction that the manufacturer is able to furnish it with the blanks named at the cost of the blanks alone. It combines convenience with economy. It keeps the blanks neat and clean, and as there are no loose sheets, there is no waste. The Bartlett Bindery uses Soutworth's paper, the best made in this country. Our business men should call and examine the Blotter and Tablet. No eounting-room should be without it.
