THE SATURDAY EVENI?fo MAIL 1* a good medium of communication between Terre Haute business men and ihejeofle who buy their goods --..v ?*-*',

Becaase, It has the largest circulation of any paper publinbed In this city. Bat not on this account atone, but— Because, It goes into the family elide on

Saturday evening, and during Saturday night and Sunday is read thoroughly, advertisements and a.1, by every member of the family who can read, after which it is loaned to the neighbors. vO v-» Because, After having been read by the borrowers and buj en in the city, it is enveloped, stamped aud sent to some friend 01 relative in some other town orclty4H Because, It is a paper which reaches all classes, hlgk and low, rich and poor.

THAT remarkable nail pteker down at the Nail Works is a real bonausa to that manufactory. All imperfect nails are taken out, and hence mechanics will "take no other" than the Terre Haute nail.

TUK Western Comedy Company, composed of youug men o( this oily, was oompllmented on Monday evening with an audience that completely filled Dowling Hall, and the young men gave a very uteres ting performance,

THKRR was scarcely dry eye In the audience last night when Mr. Slarlnand his little daughter rendered the scene in the garden, and Mr. Slavin tells us that this wonderful child seldom renders the scone without teer* oomlng to its own eyee.

FIIANKIJN MYKRS, a brakeman on Oonduductor Robert J. Watson's train, while coupling oars in the yard of the E. T. II.

His widowed mother resides on the oorner of Six-and-a-half and Tippecanoe streets.

TUB best newspaper* to advertise In are tbuee papers which go into tbe household and are reed by the whole family. The Saturday Evening Mail Is emphatically a paper lor the family droU and hence as an advertising medium is worth more to the merchant or general dealer than a paper hastily read in the business houses solely for tbe news of the dayend then cast aside.

W. H. SOTTDDER has done a good thing for our merchants. lie has got through the council an ordinance protecting tbemjfrom tbe pirates that come in here untaxed and take away trade. Hereaf ter no person can sell any article on tbe public streets without a license, under penalty of a fine not exceeding f20 for each otlense. The sum payable for license is fixed at |2 per day, $9 per week or 115 par month, no license to be granted for a longer period than one month. The ordinance is now in force. .....

RBV. C. R. HENDERSON will to morrow do an act that will cause pain both to himself and his congregation. This will be the reading a letter tendering his resignation as pastor of the First Baptist Church, where ho has served so acceptably for a period of five years, during which timo the church has steadily grown and prospered, and is new erecting tbe handsomest church building in the city. Mr. Henderson's main reason for taking this step is an inability to oouscientlously preach the doctrines of his ohurcb, and particularly that of endless punishment. His course is manly and honorable. Tbe position of the church is very explioit on this point. While tbe lay members may dodge It, and a majority of church members at tbe present day do dodge it, no man oould honorably occupy a Baptist pulpit, holding his views. We learn that Mr. Henderson will immediately retire from tbe ministry, a step we are very sorry to record.

BENEFIT CONCERT.

A large number of our beat citizens this week tendered to tbe family of W. G. Davis a complimentary benefit at the Opera House, as an expression of appreciation for tbe many volnnteer efforts of this remarkable family of stngers in various benevolent, religious, temperance and other worthy causes. Mr. Davis has consented and baa named the evening of Tuesday, the second of April, as the time for tbe concert. A programme well worth tbe price charged for admission will be prepared, and the Opera House ought to be filled tolls tallest capacity. Let everybody go to work and make it a success.

APRIL ELECTION.

The three political parties now have their tickete in the field for the town* ship electien to he held one week from uext Monday. It will be a three-corn-ered fight, and promises U» be one of tbe most hotly contested elections ever held for township offloera. The tickete are as follows:

Prompt Cash For Goods Will always bring close figures. Farmers generally understand that Smith A Townley always pay oaah for their goods, consequently their trade in Stoves and Plows ts rapidly Increasing, and never was better than It Is this Spring..

UNCLE TOM'S CA UIN &

All over tbe country just now there is a revival of the old ante-bellum dram* of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and it baa been one of tbe moet successful entertainments of tbe season. Last night at the Opera House, we bad it presented to us by tbe very fine combination under the management of Mr. J. H. Slavin, who, by the way, was one of the first, if not tbe originator of this revival. The large audience last night shows that interest in tho fortunes of Uncle Tom and the saintly Eva has not abated, and the incidents of tbe play, which are simply impossible to happen now, are relished through tbe memory of a former condition.

The leading members of this combination do tbeir roles well and are impressive features. Prominent are little Amy Slavin, daughter of the manager, who gives a wonderful and affecting persona tion of "Eva," Mr. Slavin as "St. Clair,' Frank Dond, a brother of Oliver Dond Byron, as "Uncle Tom," a character he has long studied, Harry Moreland, who gives the character of '*Legree" in real Bowery style, Wm. Hamilton "George Harris," J. R. Smith, as

Marks, tbe lawyer," and so we might go on through tbe entire list with the exception of the artist who took the characters of "Phineas Fletcher" snd

Deacon Perry." His personations are terribly overdone, and need toning down considerably.

Tbe ladies of tbe company are good notably Nellie Sanford, as "Aunt Ophelia," and the "Topsy" of Miss Kate Partington, in songs, dances and banjo solos. The audience oould hardly get enough of the latter.^

The scenic^ effeefs* are very1 fine, and the music of the Jubilee singers adds greatly to tbe effect.

Matinee this afternoon and to-night tbe last performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

To-morrow evening, the Jubileo Singers of the Combination will give a sacred concert, with admission at twenty-five cents. Miss Isabella Miles, who has a remarkable soprano voice, J. M. Waddy, one of the original Hampton Students and A. A. Lucca, the tenor, will take part and besides the Jubilee songs render a number of classical pieces.

J. W. Gaskill has returned to this city, leased tbe room lately occupied by E. B. Cole, and has had It dressed in the handsomest style. He rt turned from the east this week, where he purchased an immense stock of millinery and ladies' furnishing goods. The latter be proposes to make a special feature/ keeping suits, cloakt, shawls, underwear, and in fact, everything that a lady may need in wearing apparel or personal adornment. As may readily be imagined, the stoek will embrace an infinite variety of goods. He will open on Tuesday next, and in several places in this week's Mail be tells oar thousands of lady readejs what be proposes to do.

About the first of Apfll Mrs. S. A. Brock man A Co. (R. A.

NEW BUSINESS.

Thai' Cbere is promise of lively trade this season is indicated by the number of new houses to be opened shortly.

The first ol these and the largest will be opened next Saturday, and a large share of the space of The Mail has been taken to keep our people posted as to what they will do. This Is a branch bouse of Owen Pixley A Co. Mr. J. T. Brush, tbe manager of the celebrated "When" clothing house, Indianapolis, was in tbe city this week making arrangements for opening the house, which is to be losated in tbe Deming block, on Main, east of Sixth. This will make tbe seventh branch house of this extensive firm. Their factory is in Utica, New York. They manufacture all tbeir cloths and then make the same up into clothing, thus being enabled to retail at wholesale prices, and this they promise to do.

A NEW DEPA TURK IN THE MIL LINER TRADE. It is well known fact that Millinery Goods as sold on the old plan—100 to 200 pier cent, profit, is ruinous to purchasers. Every lady knows when buying a bat or bonnet, she psys at least 80 per cent more for it in proportion than for any other article of Ladies' Goods. Why ia this?

Milliners say their business lasts only six months out of tbe twelve, hence they most make enormous profi's in order to bridge over tbe long dull months. This is true. I have had many years' experience in Millinery and know whereof I speak. In order to be able to sell Millinery Goods at a fair and reasonable profit, I have added a department for Ladiee1 Furnlshiug Goods, which sell twelve months in the year. I commence with Spring suits, Cloaks and Shawls, Ties, Collars and Cuffs, Corsets, Underwear, Ruchings, Embroideries, Hosiery, Kid Gloves, Ac, Ac.

Old Goods this spring are dear at any price. Every dollar's worth of goods in my store are new. Respectfully,

J-W.GASKILL,

Yr No. 324 Main street.
