Capt. 8. H. Pott®/ is gaining strength rapidly and will spend the healed term in Wisconsin.

John G. Berry, of Gulick A Berry, is spending a month with bis parents at Springfield, Massachusetts.

Issac Herr, our Husks A Nubbins," bas formed a law partnership with Stanton J. Peele, at Indianapolis.

Jacob White returned from Cincinnati, on Monday, where he purchased $1,000 worth of fireworks for the Fourth.

Philip Schloss is acting Mayor, until an election is had, and Esq. Grace is attending to the judicial business.

Tom Moore has entered the School of Design, at Cincinnati. His sketches evince talent in this line of very high order.

Charley Turk bas resigned his position in the post office, after four years of faithful and acceptable service, and is now visiting at Hillsboro, Ohio.

A crayon drawing of Mrs. James Hunter on exhibition in Button A Hamilton's window, attracts muck attention and deserved admiration. It is the work of Miss Lou Freeman.

The observed of all observers, was the young man who grabbed his hat and hastened out of a front seat of the Congregational Church Sunday morning, as the picnic band came by.

Bill Howard, our colored policeman, in answer to the question: "Why don't you go out after Whitehouse?" replied with a grin: "It sort o' damages a fellow's reputation to go out on that chase."

Brown and White, the amatuer detectives of the.band of cattle thieves, asked the County Commissioners this week to allow them one thousand dollars for their services. The Board refused to grantthe request.

Col. McLean is to read the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth. He will do it well, but in view of the fact that some of our people have heard it read, wouldn't it be as well to do as they do in the legislature, read it by title."

It Is mentioned on good authority that not a little of the distress among our business men is caused by gambling. Men least suspected stake their money at cards, and as the professional gambler must live, onr business men manage to lose sufficient to array this class in fine linen and give them a generous living.

Secretary Thompson is going to live in the remodeled Sickles mansion on Lufayette square, Washington. The house has always been associated with official hospitality, for several cabinet officers and other high functionaries have occupied It anrl entertained in it— among tbo latest of them Governor Dennison and Vice President Colfax.

A party of ladles were gathered in the parlor of a certain house this week, and, as is too often the case, conversation turned upon a lady acquaintance, of course not one of the number present. Said one, "I don't like her!' Another echoed tbo same sentence, and finally they all chimed in "I don't like her!" Just as they had come to«this conclusion a lady, on looking out of the parlor window, saw the victim coming in at the gate. "Gracious," exclaimed the looker here she comes I" And here she did come, sure enough. Into the parlor she sailed, a prim little body with a self satisfied smile upon her face, and a tongue that never tires. Iler first exclamation was: "How do all. I've worn my new dress for the first time to-day, but It don't fit, does It?" In a moment she had all eyes upon her, and her little self, her littlo children, her hu.e lite, her little husband, and the little space she occupies in the world, were the sale subjects of her thoughts and conversation. She would listen to nothing else. Tnrn the subject as adroitly as they would she was back to the circle of herself. No oae else seemed to exist on the world. The most trivial circumstances of life were detailed, and sometimes when others wished to say something, to keep up a general conversation, this little minx would raise her voice and with* volume of sound sweep away entirely all obstructions, This was kept up for an hour and she departed, to tbo great relief of all present, "Well," said one, with a sigh, *1 always feel humble-in the presence of that woman. She impresses me with her own importance so much that, reaily, I am aahamed of myself Another remarked: "Indeed, I would never go to her for sympathy or information. I had a little heartburn once* and I just ran over—you know we axe neighbors—to find a sympathetic ear. I tola her my little story of grief, mud, what do you think, she never looked up, never let on she heard me, bat inquired how I thought her new green silk woald look with lavender colored trimming! I do not like her!" Do yon, reader.

Mrs. Geo. W. Haberly bat returned from her visit to the sea coast cities.

Mrs. Sheeks,of Galveston, Texas, Is In the city, the guest of Mrs. Col. McLean. E.H. Bindley, the druggist, is down at the French Lick Springs for pleasure and health.

Mrs. Louise Cloeser, of Indianapolis, has been visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Paddock, the past week.

Mrs. J. P. Farley, ef Laporte, said to be a brilliant speaker, will occupy.the Centenary pnlpit to-morrow evening.

Ben Deering, editor of the Woodford Sun, Versailles, Kentucky, is visiting the family of Henry Miller, south Third .treet.

Miss Clara Reinmann is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Kissner while in the city. She will sing at St. Mary's next Wednesday.

Jacob White has been in business, at bis present location, one .nonth, and in that time has made over three hundred gallons of ice cream.

Miss Laura Smith, from Glendale, Miss Jennie B. Wilson, from Oxford, Miss Nellie Patrick from Philadelphia, and Miss Maggie Tuell, from Cleveland, are home from school to spend vacation.

That poor old tramp so badly beaten last week by the two pairs of polioemen and journalists is slowly recovering from his injuries. He says that if he'd had a pistol he would have shot some of them—that is if he could have caught them, after they let him up from the ground!

The shortest oratian ever made by a high school graduate was that of Harvey Huston last nigut. It was astonishing that he should have the courage to stop off so short. II wa9 to is as much as the merit of tho production that caused the audience to manifest such enthusiastic applause. ,1

Mrs. Mollie C. Cochran, Chicago, in renewing her subscription to The Mail, says "it is looked for each week, as the coming of a dear friend. I could not think of doing without it. I hope there is no one in Chicago whe ever claimed Terre Haute as their home, thinks of doing without The Saturday .Evening Mall."

W. S. Jewell, for eighteen years a resident of this city—but for two years past superintendent of the Kuttawa, Kentucky, hub and spoke works, has returned to this city, and purchased the Archer residence, south of the First Ward school, where one evening this week a large party of his old friends surprised himself and wife by coming and taking possession of his house.

One morning this week, a certain candidate who believes the Mayoralty a Haven of rest, thought to take time by the forelock by getting pledges from some of his party friends. His astonishment may be imagined when it is stated that about the first half dozen men he approached, met him with a reply something to this effect: "Baally, I should be happy to do anything I can for you, but a number of friends have already called on me arglng that I accept the nominating myself!" f.

Put on your old hat this afternoon, and follow the crowd to A. B. Stoner's and secure a comfortable summer hat from the elegant stock he has on exhibition, embracing all the late styles, and at prices that must bo satisfactory to all.

Not many women are blacksmiths, but most of them can "shoo" a hen. Speaking of "shoo," the best place in Terre Haute for women to buy shoes, is at D. C. Greiner's Opera Hoase Shoe store. He can shoe all the men, women and children who apply and send them away satisfied with goods and prices.

Marriages are said to be made in Heaven—at least the preliminary arrangements. Some of them ulay be, but there can be no doubt that for years past hundreds have been talked over and arranged in the cosey Ice cream parlor of W. H. Scudder, where ice cream is just heavenly and dishes heaping full. Young man, when you feel moved by the tender pangs of love drop In at Scudder's.

The name of J. H. Chapman seems to be in alatost everybody's mouth, and so are his victuals and his elegant homeliavored bread. One of the busiest places in town is his dining rooms opposite the Fourth street market about meal time. It is astonishing the amount of good eating he gives for tho money. If there is any eity reader of The Mail that has not tried his bread, we advise an immediate trial.

Samuel Stone has tatarned from his trip to Ohio, and is again industriously engaged in collecting for his patrons the very best the country affords in the way of table supplies. His sources of supply are such that you can always rely on getting at his honse, on Main, near Seventh street, anything, and that of the freshest that may be in market, and that to, at the very bottom prices.

You needn't read this item unless you contemplate buying a piano or an organ. If you do, by all means call at W. H. Paige A Go's., see and hear the Chickering Piano, and the Mason A Hamlin organ, and learn the favorable terms on which they axe sold. They got in this week some more of those

An lspiring young man in this city, in answer to an advertisement in the ^ew York World, forwarded $1.50 to find out "How to appear well in society." In due time the reply came by mail: "A!wt\ya keep your nose clean,«snck only ono finger at a time, and buy your stationery at Button A Hamilton's Central Bookstore, the headquarter* in Terre Haute." It is at the Central Bookstore, also, that people go for anything in the blank book line.
