A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
City and Vicinity.
Kow w.1 harvest apples.
POTATOES are dirt cb^ap.
Timaitnmn draweth nigh andnocircos yet. The Vincennee Sua calls it "The siege of K(c)UB.rf
THE street cars Btopped—long enough to let the passengers on.
THE ministers to-morrow will probably touch upon the labor troubles.
AI» "obserwatory" is being constructed on the top of Thompson's flour mill.
QUITE a number ef private lawn socials were held in various parts of the city during the week.
THIS city has too mduydead ordinances. Some of them should be buried, and others resurrected.
Now the parodists may strike out on this style: •••••9 "Oh, the horse, the beautiful horse."
UNLESS our authority is unreliable, and we think it isn't, Terre Haute has half as many grain mills as Chicago.
'^AT Parker's machine works pillars weighing 01C pounds eaoh are being cast for the Polytechnic Institute building.
THE first sign of the approach of Barnum is the fact that every exchange bristles with fierce wild cats and hyperhorrible hlppoptami. 1 1 1
THIS is potato-bug year, grasshopper year, and locust year yet, strange to say it iB «lso wheat year and corn (y)ear in all parts of the country.
A MAN named Peter Campbell, quite 'well known in this city, and who resided at Marshall, hung himself In his barn last Saturday afternoon.
A BRIDGE is being constructed over Coal Creek, near the river. The road for which the bridge is built passes through (be most picturesque portion of this country.
TURN about is fair play, and fair exchange is ncyrobbery. Terre Hauteans gm 8° to the Orango county springs to get their sulphur water, and outsiders come to the Terre Haute hot springs for theirs.
WHITBHOUSE is still on the ragged edge. His latest misery is that he can not get to Terre Haute from tho far West to see the personation of himaolf. He may be oonsoled, as the play is post-
THE last person in the world to know anything about the plans and appointmeats of the Brownstockings is any one of the members of the club. None of them seem to know anything about what is to be done.,
INDIANAPOLIS is ambitious to become a maritime city. When ileh of two to five pounds in weight are caught in •Ai White river there, the capture is of suf-
Helent importance to be noticed in the V3 pap®rs. Here we call 'em "nilnners."

THE Knights Templar go to Cleveland on a "pilgrimage," 2rtth August—if thoy can get there by rail. If the railroads 1 are closed up at the time, we are not certain that the Knights are so devoted as to walk, in imitation of the bona fide
Hindoo aud Arabian pilgrims! 1 THE Influence of the Whitehouso ex5 citement is beginning to bear fruit. Two
Paris boys, aged thirteen aud fourteen S? years, started out this week to become bandits. They got as far as Chicago, their intention being to go from there to the plains and then they wrote home v. for money to get back with.

VISITORS, excursionists, drummers 4 and wanderers unite in singing this old but ever new song: "Alld pleasures and palaces though we may ,• roam,
There's no place like Home, no, there's no I place like home." Especially is it so when the exchequer runs low and the pocket book waxeth
fat. TiMU was when the belio of the period wore ahnt which the male paragraphia delighted to ridicule as a "panoake tied on with a ribbon." Bat now she has her revenge, for the average swell of summer docks his head with a little round specimen of straw-weaving which would protect his head if the sun's ra/s wore perpendicular, but which even thou would leave his ears outride.
A RWWDiWT of Kansas, 111., named Kirkham, has had a model of anew hay stacking machine made in this city, on which to obtain a patent. It is quite an an ingenious affair. The part which Dei see aud lilts the hay revolves, ris^s and falls, like the dumping apparatus on one variety of harvesting machines. The principle advantage is that the home is not compelled to go backward and forward, but can move in a circle as In a common horse-power apparatus.

A GOOD job of detective werk was done by officers Vandever and Buckingham on last Sunday, In the capture of N. Summers, a counterfeiter of long standing, The oapture was made in an ingenious manner, Vandever pretending to be a granger, alio wing himself to be handeuiM with Summers, who does not yet know bat that Vandever waa an intended aooomplloe. The arrest waa made one mile west of Sullivan. Summers will board si JeffersomrHle during the noxt lew yean.

THE dirt baa been flying this week south of Chestnut street, in the excavation for the new sewer.
THE strike is the subject for the debate this evening at the meeting of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Society.
THE county jail has at present seven prisoners. They would like to strike, but the grasping Carioo holds them as in the iron dutches of otpitaL
ON account of the strike Mr. Mossier will probably get orders to close out the entire stock of clothing, and not move the balance, as contemplated.,
THE Brazil Miner was the first to go under as the result of the strike. The editor anonunces through the columns of the Mirror tiiat he can not get paper.
A SUNDAY excursion from Brazil to this city was announced for to-morrow in that town, via the Vandalia line. It is not announced now so much as it was.
THE continuation of the temperance meetings has been deferred until after the excitement of the strike cools down. In the mean time red ribbons may already be seen numerously on the street.
QUITE a number of letters liave Leen received inquiring as to the dates for engaging the Opera House, some t'me in the autumn, but it is not thought the approaching amusement season will be very brisk.
THE more respectable working men who have been holding meetings at Court Park during the week have exeased an intention of reorganizing their society and kicking out the men who disgraced them by incendiary talk.
THE enterprising grocery firm of Wright A Kaufman are getting out cards similar to those used by the express and coal oil companies, by which their customers may notify them when groceries are wanted, by hanging the cards at front doors.
OUR Terre Haute dailies have earned congratulations on the metropolitan manner in which they have giveu the news of the strike to the public this week. On one night the number of manuscript pages of the Associated Press report reached nearly 150, most of whioh was printed. All this additional matter, also, was for the most part, a clear expense. 1m
MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses hare been issued since our last report:
Alonzo J. Ayres and Eliza J. Mowlilnney. Andrew Smith and Eliza Felkner. Caleb A. Beare and Rachel A. Blue, John Paddeck and Louisa Pierce. Henry Miller aud Mattle Fredericks. Francis M. SUivens and Emma^Hays. William M. Bmlthwood ond Matilda A. B&ti
Andrew Smith and Ann Elisabeth Russell. John Prebble and Sarah Stevenson.
"ARCHITECTURE is frozen music"— [Gems of Thought, in a neighboring cotemporary.
That may be true, but If so the music frozen into the architecture of the average Hoo8ier farmer's barn# must have been out of the mouth of a tin horn. It is a novelty to picture the gudewife calling her lord to dinner through a pewter trumpet, and the music congealing into a log stable.
SOME people, citizens and "freeholders," are inclined to sit back in their chairs at home and say "Well, the strike don't concern me. I don't own any railroad stock, and have no freights on transit,.and don't want to go anywhere." Such were appalled to read that lyitteburg was likely to be held responble as a municipality for the damage to the railroad property. Thus it is that possibly every citizen is interested in the way of additional taxes which might follow any lack of proper precautions.
THAT big silver watch mentioned recently by The Mail as having been the property of Slade, the Roeky Mountain desperado and hero of Mark Twain's "Roughiag It," and which was ou his person when he (Slade, not Twain) was hung, has passed through another episode. It was stolen this week from Dick Tiernan, of the North End, its present owner. The watch waa in the pocket of Dick's vest, and both were stolen by one Frank Stewart, a gentleman of loose conscience and of the colored persuasion. After some of the 'cute tricks of the polioe, Stewart was apprehended and seared into a confession, aa a result of which the place where he had hidden the watch was disclosed. Stewart has been i-oell-ated.
WHEN yon see a member of the prees preeent at a meeting of a committee or of dtitens, concrning which an injudicious report to the yabtto might do barm, the right way for you jo do is to bounce to your feet and publicly call the attention of the obtuse reporter to the foot that "tbia must not be (rabUahed," etc. Newspaper men have very little discrer tion or sense, any way. If you should goto them privately they might think you were joking. Never trust one of tHrw, as they have nooonaaienoea. Unlike other dtiaeus, they have not the publio weUhre at heart, Besjiea, their mtatoa In this world la to make trouble and expose private plana, to erase miscellaneous misery and stir up qtxarratings. Newspaper saen area sevrriloutsat, sad It is alw*ys the proper thing to tmt them as spies sad thieves!

THE corner stone of the new Baptist church building at the corner of Cherry aud Sixth streets was laid at 7 o'clock last evening. The weather was very threatening, but a large audience assembled, and waited respectfully during the ceremonies. The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. S. M. Stimson, former pastor of the Baptist church. It was a finished and scholarly production. Most of the city ministers were~present.
The
articles deposited in
the box were the following: Copies of the dally and weekly papers, roll of the members of the Church list of the present officers names of the building committee, architect, contractors and builders a brief history of the Church and names of all former pastora brief history of the city. The stone was plaoed In position by the contractor, Mr. Jacob Miller, !and it was left to hold its treasures until that new church is old.
THE MAIL has blundered. It owes an apology to Joe. Strout. It was in a wholly unintentional and unpremeditated manner that praise was given Dr. Roberts' horse when Joe's was about. This animal, from being the property of a civil engineer, has become an adept in measuring the slope of streets and the relative depression of gutters, regulating tho number of stepB to their respective decline. It refuses to travel on any except graded streets, and in switching its tail describes an equilateral triangle.
CHURCH NOTES.
Services at the Baptist church at 11 a. m. Theme: "The Place of Work—In Our Moral Training." Evening service at Court Park, if it does not rain, at 7 p. ui. C. R. Ifenderson, pastor.
Quarterly meeting at Mont Rose church, Saturday night and Sunday. Preaching Saturday night and Sunday morning by Elder Greene Sunday night by J. H. Siddell.
Episcopal Church.—Sunday School at 9:15. Morning Pr*yer and Litany at 11 o'clock as usual. There will be no service in the afternoon.
Usual services in the Congregational Church io-morron morning and evening.
When you buy articles which you seldom want, you can easily stop iu at any place where they are kept on sale. But as regards groceries, it is advisable to establish your trade at some good place and patronize that one, because you dont want to be bothered with looking alter various accounts of constant purchases at different stores. Now, consider the central location of Samuel Stone's Red Front, Wabash near 7th, and instruct your family accordingly. Speak to Stone about it.
