A NOTABLE Increase in the quantity of advertisements in the papers of the larger cities is a sere indication of improving business.

"DEAD men tell no tales," and many men who have figured prominently in New York politics doubtless feel relieved at the death of Tweed.

THE National Bank at Richmond was first in the State to resume specie pay ment, having began the redemption of its notes yesterday. Our city banks are yet to be heard from. In a few days they'll all do it, and thus theoretical mountains will be resolved into molemolehills, by doing instead of talking.

THE repeal of the bankrupt law may now be set down as oertain. The decisive vote—37 to 6—by which the repeal bill passed the Senate settles its fate. The House is known to.be in favor of it, and will probably pass it as soon as it can reaeh it. The repeal is absolute only existing proceedings that have been commenced are allowed to be prosecuted to an end under it.

AT last, and yet before the day appointed, gold has touched par and is worth in the money markets no more than a paper dollar. Dispatches from Chicago and other cities stkte that many national banks are redeeming their notes in gold, and that the yellow metal

a

is beginning to circulate freely. With gold at par and the Immense grain and fruit crop in prospect, what undor heavens is to hinder the dawn of that long-promised "good time comlBg"?

THE European situation has a more paciflo look. Germany is acting as a gobetween for the two beligerent powers, while Lord Salisbury is engaged in preparing a reply to Russia's answer. By the time these diplomatic pleadings, so to speak, havo gone through the entire scale of rejoinder, surrejoinder, etc., to the final issue, it is highly probable that both parties will have gotten quite out of the notion of fighting, and will shake hands across tbe Baltic and make it up between thom. 1'

THE determination of Congress to finally adjourn on June 10th will be received by the country with pleasure. The session has lasted from tbe middle of October and has spent a great deal ef money and wearied the country with a vast amount of talk, but ss to tbe accomplishment of any wise legislation, it has been wofully tardy and deficient. Some four months of gasconade were expended upon the silver bill and tbe question of specie resumption and how much better is tbe oountry^off to-day for all that was said or done? The Republican members have done little but quarrel with the President and the Democrats have been mainly occupied in quarreling with the Republicans, and so the nation will bear with a lightened heart that this fussing, fighting, farclal Congress has concluded to bring its long session to a close.

THE custom of eating eggs at Esster has been traced up, not only to the theology of Egypt, but to the philosophy of the Persians, the Gaols, the Greeks and the Romans, all of whom regarded the egg as an emblem of the universe and the work of the Deity. "Easter," says Geblin, "and New Year's have been marked by similar distinctions. Among the Romans the New Year is looked upon as the renewal of all things, and is noted for the triumph of the son of nature, as Easier is with the Christians for the Son of Justice, tho Savior of the world over death by his resumption." The early Christian at Mesopotamia had the cttstocu of dying and decorating eggs at Easter. They were stained red in memory of the blood of Christ shed at His crucifixion. The Catholic church adopted the custom and regarded the eggs as the emblem of the resurrection, as is evidenoed by the benediction of Pope Paul V., about 1610, which read thus: "Blew, O Lord! we beseech Thee, this Thy creature of eggs, thai it may become a wholesome suitenance to Thy faithful servants, eating it in thankfulness to Thee on account of the resurrection of tbe Lord." Thus the custom has come down from the age* tail in antiquity.

ACCOROIXO to a late statement of events at Wyoming, N. Y., the accident of thirteen persona at (me dinner tabis has proved singularly fatal in that community. It is a revival of the old superstition of thirteen persona at dinner put very strongly—eo strongly la

fact as to throw discredit upon the thirteen theory. The story goes that a healthy young lady came in hungry from a ride, and found twelve persons at dinner. She made the thirteenth, and although reminded t&at .thirteen was an unlucky number, she insisted upon sitting at the table and taking dinner with tbe rest ratbor than being tbe fool of superstition on a dunce stool at aside table. In a few days she sickened and died. The day before her death her physician occupied her seat at the table and there were thirteen. He died a few days after in Elmira. Some time after in tbe same house a southern planter was a visitor. One day he entered the dining room where twelve were seated at the table. Tbe rest begged him not to sit down with them But he laughed at the superstition, and wanted to tort it. He became the ill starred thirteenth, A few weeks later on his way home he took sick and died. This is too much, especially as the names of tbe unlucky tbirteeners are withheld.

THE Beecher-Tilton nastinesS' has been again thrust under the noses of a public that have long since had a surfeit, and the papers this week have been full of it. The Mail will do nothing more than make a passing note. Mrs. Tilton in a letter to Ira B. Wheeler, a confidential friend, and authorizing publication, says that tbe charge of adultery brought by her husband against Henry Ward rfeecher was true sud that the lie she has lived so well for the lsst four years has become intolerable to her. Mr. Beecher, who is out on a lecturing tour, promptly comes to the scratch, selfpoised as ever, and denies the accusation. On the occasion of tbe great trial three years ago, it was lucidly remarked that there's a lie out somewhere," and it is not probable that this last confession will dispel that belief, or to any great extent change public'opinion. Those who believed Mr. Beecher innocent will continue in that belief, and those Who believed him guilty of "the great transgression" will need no further testimony. Mrs. Tilton's contradictory stories have destroyed her reputation for veracity, even with those who may think she is telling the truth now. That we may be spared another deluge of the nastlness should be the prayer of all lovers of good morals. To think of going over all the stuff again might well provoke the wish that we were dead."

MORE INDIANAPOLIS RASCALITY. Another piece of rascality in high places has just been, or rather i« being exposed, (for it is evident the whole truth has not come to the light of day yet), at Indianapolis. It has been known for some time that the Bank of Commerce of that city bad lost heavily by an injudicious investment of a large amount of its funds is the water works, and while the matter looked rather suspicions, not much was said about It, until a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette recently got hold of the case and presented some of the inside history of the affair. The Wets developed have a very ugly appearance and Involve several gentlemen of high Bocial and business standing at tbe Capital. It is known now that the bank sustained a clear loss of sbout $400,000, or four-fiftbs of its entire capital. The shock came like a thunder-clap from a clear sky and the stockholders went to bed one night with their stock at par to wake up the next morning and find it worth twenty cents on the dollar. Several prominent lawyers of Indianapolis, among them Oscar B. Hord, Wm. Wallace, Judge Rand, Gov. Hendricks and ex Gov. Baker found themselves suddenly robbed of sums varying from $5,000 to $20,000.

So much was known some time ago. What was not known, was how tbe loss came about. That mystery is now in a fair way to be unraveled. It seems that William Henderson was president of the Bank of Commerce and also a director in the water works while John R. Elder wss president of tbe Water Works and director in tbe Bank of Commerce. Elder needed money to run the water works,-or for some other purpose, and Henderson loaned him various sums from time to time, taking' no security therefor and finally loaned an additional £150,000, taking a third mortgage on the water works, which was In effect no security at all, as tbe works were already encumbered for more than their value. These transactions were kept from tbe knowledge of the stockholders of the bank until recently, when the astounding diaoovery waa made that $400,000 of the bank's capital bad been swept out of exlstenoe. Henderson resigned tbe presidency of the bank and has resumed the practice ot law. The mysterious part of the business is, what wss done with the large amount of money received by tbe water works, and what was Henderson's motives in thus putting out tbe bank's funds where he must have knowo tbey would be lost. It is intimated that Influences are at work which will result in clearing up these mysteries, and that the reputations of several gentlemen whose names have hitherto Mood unblemished, will suffer badly when all the truth Is known. Meantime, the denizens of the city of concentric circles are much befogged to know what Is the true secret of all this crookedness.

THEY ALL DO IT. Washington Star.

The practice of advertising a Utile now and then may be of some bene/it, hut, as a contemporary remarks, "li is only a drop in tbe bucket oomtMred with a standing advertisement in the columns of an Influential and rssp«cft*ble newspaper." All the prosperous business men of to-day who nave made their money legitimately, have doue so by steady, persistent advertising.

UNDERWEAR.

There are many different kinds of underwear nowadays, and ladies can choose to suit themselves. The "practical" kind consists of several garments in one, Is high in the neck and long in the sleeves, and, like the princesse dress, forms a complete undersuit without division, being cut all in one, using a slight gauze vest ss a foundation for a corset, if one is worn. A garment of this kind is all that is necessary as a foundation for the skirts, and fills tbe place of chemise, drawers and oorset cover. It is not beautiful, but is plain, simple, easy, and well adapted for women of business, for workers, or for traveling purposes.

Women who do not need the economics, and who wish to be beautru), adhere to the diversified garments, and have them made exquisitely, with masses of laee and embroidery, and dainty finishing or delicate bine or pink, use blue ribbons very narrow, and arranged in bows formed of many small flat loops.

At present there are three quite distinctive styles for fashionable underwear—one is round, another square, tbe other tbe Breton. Each of these seems the prettiest till you have seen the other —tbey are lined so charmingly sad finished so eoqoettiahly. There are also three styles of trimming which are equally fashionable, so that It to a mere matter of taste to choose between them, and in getting up a trossean, one dozen ofeaeh is generally furnished. Tbe trimmings oonsist of torchon lace, Irish crocheted lace or Irish point, and French needlework. All have their good points, &at the laees carry off the palm for dur-

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

WONDERFUL, IF TRUE! It is astonishing how a bit of news will become distorted as it travels from psper to paper—especially if there is the lesst bit of sensation about it. Now here's the Baptist church matter. It had only got so far as Bloomington, Illinois, when it comes back to us in "The Sunday Eye" in this shape:

We exist in an age wfcen a very little thing will launch a man into a sea of fame—an act, a declaration—nay, sometimes, a mere word! A Terre Haute Baptist preacher, named Henderson, formerly considered tame and dccile, and not drawing unusually large congregations, joined with Ingersoll and Beecher and longer refused to believe that there Is a bell. Tbe pious deacons were paralyzed and the members gener ally shocked. In fact, the reverend gentleman was Invited to resign, and he did so. But when he arose to deliver bis farewell discourse, a multitude was before him. Empty pews were filled, and even the gallery groaned with its load of carious bumsnity. Preacher and congregation were dazzled in a realm of tame. Both weakened.. The throng continued and a larger edifice was re~ sorted to. In consequence, at the next trustees' meeting, tho prajed for resignation was tabled, and subsequently refused by almost a unanimous vote of the congregation. Therefore, Rev. Henderson, a disbeliever in eternal punishment, is preaching to bearers of another faith, and tbe Baptists of that city have stigmatized Christianity. Tickeled by the touch of fame, and dizzied by man's temporary popularity, tbey insult their creed! Such religious farces are deplorable.

SPRING FASHIONS.

The Sort of Bonnets the Autocrat has De creed—Some Remarks about Under wear. ...

Jenny June's Correspondence. Women have more bonnets than they nsed to, but they cost them less. They buy material and make tbem to match suiiB, or they- purchase the finished straws, felts or velvet, twist apiece of gauze or a scarf around them, clasp it with pearls or silver whip, snd lo! a hat or a bonnet as tbe case may be. There is nothing so fashionable in the best society as a bat or bonnet to match. A forty dollar bonnet with a tweed traveling suit would be laughingly vulgar and absurd. A plain hat of tweed, piped with silk ana finished with a band of galloon, would be style" at a cost, if made at home, of about a dollar and a half.

Bonnets this season take largely the capote form, and sit closely to the head They have greater breadth than formerly, but narrow brims, wbicb sometimes spring out slightly, like a Mary Stuart cap but they do not show such fantastic variations as have been observed for a few seasons past. Tbe new bonnet par excellence is of tinted white faille, laid plain, upon tbe foundation, and having a double brim, one of which lies close to tbe bead, tbe other slightly indented in the middle, and springing out from it, gives tbe Marie Stuart effect before alluded to. The edges of both brims are sown with pearls, which increases tho resemblance, and it is further strengthened toy lining the upper brim with black volvet. But plain silk bonnets have never found favor in the eyes of American women. Tbey prefer tbe soft crown in silk, and tbey are right there is not enough body in silk to bold, or reflect light or shade, and it therefore looks fiat unless the surface is raised, roughened or corrigated by being made fufl. There is a simplicity about the plain bonnets which is pleasing snd particularly attractive in oeige shades of rich silk, finished with loops of narrow satin ribbon of tbe same color, lined with white. And to this a couple of soft ostrich tips, shaded from light to dark, in beige color, and clasp and ornaments of pearls, ana there is a bonnet distinguished enough for a princess and plain enough for a Quaker. Nearly all bonnets have a little cape at tbe back and tied under the chin witb satin faced ribbon. This cape is some:imes spilt and turned up over tbe soft crown, a row Of satin loops furnishing the finish at tbe back. This may be tbe case when tbe brim and capo were of straw, and the crown of silk, and was observed also In an exquisite evening bonnet, in which the capote ciown was of white tulle, tbe brim and cape of white satin, edged with pearl*, tbe latter split and turned up over the crown, and the ornaments two half ostrich, half marabout tips, fastened with a pearl clasp with pendent loops. There is no trimming, and no room for trimming inside tbe brim. A narrow band alone holds it to tbe bead, but this, band is not unfrequentiy studded with pearls, and in other cases a narrow fringe of amber or Bhaded bronze beads finishes the upper edge. A queer little poke bonnet, shaped very much as if a large cabbage leaf were folded and put over tbe head, is designed for young girls, but it is not at all likely tbey will exchange tbe stylish pretty round bat and Gaines bo rough, which still hold a place, for a shapeless oddity which does not even afford protection to tbe face.

all around the bottom of the

skirt Thess retain their place. while the skirt is sweeping aside and displac­

ing or exposing tbe underskirts. Tbe underskirts, both short and long, are gathered at the back into a deep yoke, which oovers the hips snd preserves tbe outline of tbe form. In front snd upon tbe side they are left as nearly straight fcs possible. All except very short skirts have a drawing string In about 12 Inches below tbe lifte of the waist, which masses tbe fullness, draws it toward tbe back, and keeps it in place. Dress extenders snd the like show no fullness within several inches of tbe waist line, and generally consist of flounced skirts or tournures, arranged with strings Jo tie in front-a sort of trussing process, wbicb is anything but agreeable.

MORSELS FOR SUN DAY CONTEMPLATION. Jealousy is no more tbsn awkward homage.

Time is gold throw not one minute away, but place each one to account. It Is sad but true that we can silence our consciences easier than our desires.

What a catalogue of social virtues a man requires to make him generally beloved!

I have always observed this, that tbe people of this world never speak well of it at parting.

Hope is like a bad clock, forever striking the hour of happiness, whether it has come or not.

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.

It is an unoontroverted truth that no man ever made an ill figure who understood bis own talents,nor a good one who mistook tbem.

The world is all title page there are no contents the world is all face the man who shows his heart is hooted for bis nudity, and scorned.

Satiety csmes of too frequent repetition, and be who will never give himself leisure to be thirsty can never find the true pleasure of drinking.

Tbe rude man is contented if he sees but something going on tbe man of more refinement must be made to feel the man entirely refined desires to reflect.

There never did, and there never will, exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character whioh is a stranger to the existence of a resolute self-denial.

Talents give a man superiority more agreeable tbau that which proceeds from riches, birth or employment, which are full external. Talents constitute our very essence,

To know one person who is positively to be trusted will do more for man's moral nature—yes, for bis spiritual nature—than all tbe sermons be has ever heard or ever can hear.

The purposes, objects and resolutions of life are tbe perfectly formed links, and the fulfilling of their aspirations is tho linking of them togother, which form the useful chain.

Honors soften fatigue. It is easy riding in a gilded and embossed saddle. Atlas, while he sustains the world upon his shoulders, Is himself sustained by tbe admiration which bis feat excites.

Plenty and indigence depend npon the opinion everv one has of tbem and riches, no more than glory or health, have no more beauty nor pleasure than their possessor is pleased to lend them.

When we hear people ready to speak of tbe faults of others, or to censure tbem as holding scandalous errors, or to lessen the wisdom and piety of those about them, that themselves may seem tbe wiser and better, this is a sign that they have a vain religion.

A wife's love is tbe golden chain which unites her to her husband. It has a thousand delicate links, forged by sympathy, self-respect and mutual confidence sever but one of tbem and the chain is as completely broken as though a hundred were destroyed. i/ S
