Hata that have been punched in all conceivable shapes will be stylish. Neckties will be of the shade and material of the sister's or wife's last summer dress.

DR. YON MOSCHZISKER, well known in Indianapolis and several western cities, contemplates making this city bis place of residence, for the treatment of chronic and other complicated dis eases. Anticipating bis departuro from Evansville, the Courier has this to say in its editorial columns:
Dr. Yon Moscbzlsker, the distinguish ed scholar, literateur and specialist, who has been practicing bis profession in this city for over seven months, we regret to say, leaves this week for Terre Haute, During his stay here the Doctor has not only had great success in the treatment of the maladies to which he has given life time of studious attention, but has made many warm friends among our best people. .The Courier takes great pleasure in commending him to the good graces of tbe press and people of Terre Haute as a gentleman of refine ment and culture, and as a physician of the first merit. It will be gratifying to his personal frifids and patients Evansvilla and vicinity to know ttf tbo Doctor will occasionally make pro fesslonal visits to this city, a fact that will more easily recouclle tbem to bid ding birn good bye and God speed.
And the editor of tho Evansville nal has this to say: Dr. F. A. Von Moschzisker, the distin guinhcd medical specialist, who has been residing in Evansville for the past six months, will transfer his temporary rcni detice to Terre Haute in a few days. I)r, Von Moschzisker is. not only a successful physician, but a gentleman of rare ex periencc, fine culture, and profound edu cation. In literature and art, he has ven tured with unusual success, and his con tributions to the local press have evi denced his culture and talent to the delight of many readers. The Doctor will make frequent visits to Evansville, to give jwrsonal attention to the patients yet un der his chargc. He deserves the fullest success in his labors in the vineyard of the afflicted in Terre llaute.
A QltEATHISTORICAL WORK. The National Publishing Company, of St. Louis, have sent us advance sheets of "The Pictorial History of the World, embracing full and authentic accounts of every nstion of ancient and modern times, and Including a History of the rlso.and Hill of the Greek and Roman Empires, the growth of the nations of de»n tho Middle Ages, the 'sudal System, the Ref-
Modem Europe, Crusades, tbe Vei ortnatlnn, tbe discovery and settlement of the New World," etc., etc., by James D. McCabe, a well known historical writer. This is one of the most valuable books ever issued by an American publisher, and it is in all respects the most complete History of the World ever published. The author does not content himself with a mere dry statement or facts, but sketches the life aud tninnersof the various nations of which ho treats, in life like colors, and points out the causes which led to tho prosperity and (Way ot tbe great powers ot the world. Hefebows us tho ftramus war riora, statesmen, poets, sages, and orators of ancient and modern times, and makes them familiar to the reader. Tbe book is a complete treasury of history, and there is not a question that can be asked concerning any historical subject but an answer to it can be fbnnd in this
5oublework.
real It contains 1290 large coium pa ires, and is embellished with ever fine engravings illustrative of the events recorded in the narrative, embracing battles and other historical scenes portraits of tbe great men of andent aud modern times and views of tbe principal cities of tbe world. These engravings are genuine works of art, and were made at a cost of over 125,000. The great number and high character of these engravings make this the most valuable art publication of this century. We cannot too highly praise tbe numerous and beautiful pot*, tratsa of historical personages) with which it abounds. A marked feature of the work Is a complete "History of the late war between Russia and Turkey," which is the only complete account of this war in print. This Is an appropriate time to read the History of the World, and we predict for this book an immense sale.

JAMES B. HARRIS, chairman of the council committee on printing, has laid on our table a copy of the newly revised city ordinances. It was printed at the Banner office, and the typographical work reflects great credit upon that printing bouse. The compilation and revision was entrusted to Sidney B.

In tho appendix is given a chronological table showing who have served as town and city officers from the 10th of May, 1838, the date of the organization of tho town corporation, to the present time.
