A«fn,

THE SATURDAY EVKNINtt WAIL is a good medium of communication between Terre Haute bOKincfs men and iho people who buy their goods—

Because, It ba* tho largest circulation of any paper published In thi& city. But not on this account alene, but—

1'

Because, It goes into the family circle on Saturday evening, and during Saturday night and Sunday is read thoroughly advertisements and all, by every member of the family who can read, alter which it is loaned to the neighbors.

Because, After having been read by the borrowers and bu* ere in the city, it is enveloped, stamped and sent to some friend oi relative in some other town or city. Because, It Ls a paper which reaches all classes, high and low, rich and poor.

ClftTRCH NOTES.

TRADK dollars are still taken in church collections that is to say, wlxfrii any body chodses to put tbem in. Bat tbe lower denominations of silver are more generally used. Tbe objectionable little three cent ooin is so unpopular that most holders desire to get rid of it. It makes as respectable jingle in the collection basket as almost any other coin, and therefore is got rid of in this way.

ALL the street cleaningfthis week has not been done by tramps. When yon see a man working on tbe streets yon mast not set it down that be slept the night before in tbe station house. By no means. This class of gentry towards the latter part of tbe week have become quite scarce. They don't like to work, and bence avoid tbe station house since tbe Mayor's crder was issued. Mr. Cox tbe street commissioner bas had a large force of la borers on tbe streets and bas done some excellent and needed work

THK temperance folks have had surfeit of water this week. The continuous rain, and bad condition of tbe streets have had a discouraging effect. Nevertheless tbe meetings have been kept up, bat tbe signers have not come forward in such great numbers, since Monday night, on which evening 138 signatures were enrolled. Tbe total number to dats is over 6,i00

Last night Lather Benson, tbe author of tbe book entitled "Fifteen Years in Hell," a sort of biography of his awful experience with tbe demon drink, made a short and ringing speech. To-morrow afternoon at three o'clock, at the Opera House, be will make an extended lec ture, when an admission fee of ten cents will be charged.

Free meeting to-night at Dowling Hall, and tbe usual ten cent meeting at the Opera House to morrow night, when H. C. Bell, of Marshall, will be one of tbe speakers.

IMPEBHA PS HE KNEW HIM it was tbe day after tbe Convention. A knot of d. d's—democratic delegates —were standing on the corner. They had been over to "work for Shannon," and one after another was giving his theory,of tbe defeat, when Ben Havens remarked "Well, there was one man elected yesterday who feels in good spirits." Who's that?" said one. "The new Pope—Joachim Pecei," said Ben. Then arose a controversy as to the pronunciation of the Cardinal's name. While this was progressing, an eldery, partially deaf countryman, edged his way into the circle, and partly catching tbe drift of the conversation, said: ••What did you say bis name was?" ••Joachim Peccl," said Ben, with his usual smile that was bland and bis best attempt at the correct pronunciation. "Ob," said the countryman, "I thought perhaps I know'd him, I)ii Jtip,„U^e around here?"'

A LADY ou Sixth street had an awful dream. The door bell rung, but before opening tbe door, she peeked through the Bide lights, and lo! there stood her mother-in-law, with a plethoric traveling bag in her band and a large bundle under her arm. Most ladies would have fainted under tbe circumstances, but this one thought better of it and fled to a neighboring house, where she gathered up such articles of wearing apparel as she could find lying around loose and started for Chicago. Why Chicago suggested itself in the dream she connet imagine. Tbe journey seemed long and tiresome, but she arrived at last, and was about to congratulate herself, when, horror—there stood her mother in-law, satchel, bundle and all, waiting to receive her at the depot. This was too much. She spoke not a word, but rushed by the old lady and leaped over a precipice one thousand milee high. She counted the mile posts in making the descent, and finally plunged iut* a cold and dismal ocean. She was still going down into the dark depths when she awoke and found her husband dashing water into her face, and endeavoring to bring her out of what appeared to be a terrible fit. Tbe lady is undoubtedly fond of her bitsband's mamma.

THEBUCKBYE CASH 8T0JIEJ Since we were a boy, and a very small boy, the caption of this article bas been familiar to us, for "The Buckeye Cash Store" bar. been long in the history of this community. It was founded in 1S14, nearly thirty-four years ago, by Mr. L. Ryce. who has been continuously with it year after year in all this long period of time. As years went on, Mr. Ryce'a sons grew to manhood and finally he was permitted to place upon the shoulders of Mr. Will S. Ryce tbe cares of the constantly growing business. We all know how sucoessfolly he conducted the legacy. Honest and conscientious in all his dealings, courteous and pleasant in his demeanor, ever eheerful outwardly in tbe darkest days of business and of disease, he was the life of the trade and gave brightness to all surroundings. But death c.tme while yet he should have been in tbe prime of manhood, and again Mr, L. Ryce had to take charge until some ad vantageoos disposal could be made of the stock. That time has oome, a sale having besn made to Mr. George Ar buckle, of Paris, who has placed Mr. H. B. Little at the bead of the business. Of die new management we may apeak at another time. Just now we only wish to bear testimony that all throngh the record of the Buckeye, from hither to son, and back again to the father, we have never known of a dishonorable act, not even the slightest atain upon their bu*inem integrity. This a high trihnte to the deoeased, and a conaoia-

THE birthday of George Washington —who is remembered because he was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen," and first to chop down a cherry tree and not lie about it—passed yesterday in this city almost wholly unnoticed. Tbe Circuit Court •adjourned—and that was all Even tbe patriotic Light Guards, after being commanded to turn out for parade, declined to wade .through the sea of mud.

THE sad news came last Mondav of the death, at Ottutnwa, Iowa, of Mrs Sal lie P. Barr, sister of Mrs. J. R. Chambers, She was here only a month ago, and her illness, from pneumonia, was of only foHr day's duration. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Chambers left immediately for Otturawa, to bring tbe body here for burial, and yetterday it was laid with the bands of kind and loving friends in tbe cemetery along with all her little family, a husband and three children, who bad gone before. Sallie Barr was ie every respect a most estimable woman.
