A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Personal.

Miss Katie Bauer has returned from a Vlorida trip. Col. Nelson occupies his old law office on Main street.

Ixm Ripley has purchased C. E. Aikin's news agency, at Paige's music house.

Pr. Read, who has been dangerously ill, is out of danger, and rapidly-conval eecing.

J. M. Dishon has removed his family to the fair grounds—having rented the grounds this year.

J. W. Gaskill, formerly of this city, will shortly open a dry goods house at Charleston, Illinois.

Warren W. Bailey, late of the Kansas, Ills., News, was in the city, this week, enroute to take charge of the Carlisle, lad., Democrat, the successor of the late Register.

Charley Chad wick came home this week after a month's stay in Flori ia, on his father's plantation. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Chadwick will return about the first of May.

Mr. and Mrs. Will shryer moved into the Griswold house, on south Fifth street, yesterday, which they will oecu py until the return of Mr. John G. Shryer, a year or more hence.

Col. Hudson's family has been sorely afflicted—all of his children, four in number, having the scarlet fever. Two were given up as beyond recovery, but we are glad to learn that the danger is passed, and all are convalescing rapidly.

Owen Tuller had his life insured to the amount of $60,000 for the benefit of his wife. He left, without a will, property estimated at about four thousand dol Jars, which will be divided between his wife, daughter and two sons—George and Owen, jr.

Richard J. Durkln, the clever and genial deputy county clerk, was married on Tuesday morning, at St. Joseph's dhurch, to Miss Mary T. Donaghoe. The happy pair took the train for St. Louis and other western points, to be absent about ten days.

Luther G. Hager showed ws yesterday a copy of The Mall that had been all the way to Switzerland and back. Mr Hager sends a copy there each week and one copy goes direct from this office to the same country, If any of our advertisers receive orders from Switzerland they will please give The Mail credit.

I't will be remembered that when Mrs E. F. Howe left this oity she was suffering from a diseased eye. Her friehds will be pained to learn that in order to wave the other eye, she had to submit to its removal. The operation was per formed last week, when it was found that the trouble was caused by a tumor growing in the eje. The operation itself was painless. As she came to herself from the effects of the ether, she •aid, I have been dreaming—dreaming and have been away off so far." What a blessing is ether.

Mr. W. II. Wnlmsley, of Philadelphia started for England and France, on Thursday last, per Bteamer Illinois, to purchase stock. Mr. W. is one of the leading microsooplsts in America, and a member of the Frankli-i Institute of Arts and Sciences and of the California Mioroscopical Society.. As a preparer of objocts, he is well known on both sides of the Atlantic. His brother, Mr. E. M. Walmsley, will be pleased to give information to those whose pursuits will cause them to be interested in Microscopes, accessories, mounting materials, prepared objects, opthalmoscopes and trial sights, clinical thermometers and meteorological Instruments.

Just about one-half tho men who marry nowadays have the clerk mark on the record, "don't publish." Now, this, wo tako it, is shabby way of treating tho newspapers, to say nothing about the moral pusillanimity in the male species, which it reveals. Any man that will got married and then try to conceal the fact from the public, is a bad eittaen, and doesn't deserve to ha7e a wife. Toung wives who do not see their names published among the "Marriage Li censes" had better look a little out. In nine cases out often, the omission means more than they are aware o'. It isn't natural for a man to be ashamed to have the fact known, if he has married a woman whom he sincerely respects. To try to hide It argues something crooked.

Spring house cleaning time is at band, and good housekeepers are getting ready to go through the semi-annual process It is a disagreeable task, and some women seem to endeavor to make it more so than others. But then how nice the bouse looks afterwards—especially if you go to Button fc Hamilton's Central Bookstore and get some of the nice pictures, brackets, mantel ornaments., and other articles of which they have so many for home ornamentation.

Don't pifk your teeth with a fork jit is apt to scratch off the enamel.
