THE chimney sweep now going about the streets always wears his business soot.

CHRISTMAS goods are being displayed in great profusion by our enterprising merchants.

A SURE indication of a hard winter coming is the large number of marriages now being put on record.

THE first car load of coal shipped to this city was in 1852, by A. C. Combs, now engaged in the same busldess. It came from Harmony, Clay county. Block coal was then unknown.

THE Sunday school boys who began after the May and June picnics to take a vacation are now considering to what schools they had better attach themselves for the oomlng holiday festivities.

THE holidays are close at band, and thoss merchants who are plucky enough .to put forth advertisements In a liberal way, will certainly rejoice overinereawnl gains. If ever advertising paid it will in holiday times.

THE Surakosch Opera Troupe—some ninety in number—passed through this city, Sunday evening, from Chicago to St. Louis, on a special train, by way of the Danville and Vandalia roads. There 1a nothing romantic in the appearance of an opera troupe off the stage.

REV. BAOOS has stirred op a hornet's nest with a couple of sermons preached last 8unday, at the Congregational Church, on the temperanoe question, in which be criticised in very plain and forcible language the present methods of temperanoe reformation—claiming that the work bad been a failure. The reverend gentleman's position has caused no little private talk, and there promises to be no end of public controversy. Our "Woman's Opinions" occupies all the space we can give the subject this week. i« IB-

THE Express mentions that the largest family gathering In this city on Thursday was that of thirty-one persons, all related together. They are the following: Harry Ross and family Edward Ross and family John Ross, mother and family James and Rebecca Ross Mrs. Jeffcoat Mrs. Tee! and family Frank Gullck and family L. F. Perdue and faml.v Edward Bryant and family. This family gathering is held every year, on Thanksgiving day. This year it was held at Mrs. Jeflfcoat's residence, at Ohio and Seventh streets.

THANKSGIVING DAY was one of the pleasantest known in this section of country for many years. Many of the stores were closed all day and business us generally suspended in the afternoon. At the Baptist church a union service of the Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Congregational and Christian churches was held—Rev. T. R. Bacon delivering the sermon to a very large audienoe. St Stephens had the usual services, the rector preaching a sermon. At the Catholic churches high mass was celebrated. The streets, all day had the appearance of a holiday. Everybody appeared happy, gladness was plotured on every countenance, and genuine thankfulness for the prosperity and peace vouchsafed duriog the year seemed to flashed from every eye.

GEORGE M. SIBLEY, the eldest son of the late John Sibley, died at his residence on north Fourth street, Monday night at 12 o'clock, after along illness of heart disease. He was in his fifty-fourth year, was born, and has always lived, in this city. Although of modest demeanor and retiring in his manners, he bad many warm friends who knew him and respected him for his true worth.

WAGNER

A

RIPLEY, of this city, se­

cured the contract, this week, for erecting a $2,000 granite monument over the grave of Samuel Neff, at Mattoon. The deceased directed in bis will that such a monument be erected. This becoming known, of course there was a lively competition among marble men. Indeed, they were so numerous that the widow actually hesitated to open the door, for fear of running against a tombstone emissary. Wagner fc Ripley are to be congratulated In getting the prize.

EDWARD FREES, boss roller at the nail works, was accidentally shot and killed, Saturday evening, about nine o'clock. In company with Nat Preston andEd Hathaway, he bad started on a hunting expedition. The party were in a wagon, just south of the Idaho grocery, below strawberry hill, when, in handling the guns, one was accidentally discharged, the load entering Frees' head, just below the eye, causing Immediate death. The body was taken to Wheeling, West Virginia, for interment.

THE ladles of the Congregational church have in preparation a grand Bazar, In the room formerly occupied by Crawford, O'Boyle A Co., on the evenings of the 12th and 13th of December.

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.

An audienoe that did not number more than two hundred people, gathered to bear Wendell Phillips, Monday evening—another evidence that Terre Haute is not a lecture town. Lecture committees and associations, however, should be Impressed with the fact that seventy-five cents is too muoh to charge for a lecture. At fifty cents, and in some oases twenty-five cents, the receipts would be greater.

Madame Rents' female minstrels, Wednesday evening, had an audienoe exclusively of the male sex. Those who crowded the front chairs were disappointed in their expectation of vulgarity, and likewise were those who sat back and expected to see a good variety show. The exhibition did not satisfy either class, and the general verdict was •thin." "Our Boarding House" was given on Thursday afternoon and evening to two large and delighted audiences. Several changes have been made since last season in the cast, and it is hardly so strong as formerly. It is a play full of strongly drawn characters, and every soepe Is full of lively interest. We cannot agree with the writer of "Woman's Opinions," on the first page, except as refers to the unneocessary use of the words "damn" and "damned." Just suoh characters will be found in many fashionable boarding houses up and down the land, and the lesson of the play is that impostors are certain to be found out, villainy will be punished, and good people will la the.$1*4, be happy. -.»

It is a coincidence that "Our Boarding House" was given here last year on Thanksgiving Day. Madame Rentz' minstrels came on the evening after instead of the previous evening, as this year.

Mrs. H. M. Smith's grand concert party will be here on the evening of the 10th of Deoember, and will give a concert at the Opera House. The press everywhere speaks in the highest terms of the members of the company. The Cleveland Herald says:

Mrs. Smith is a lady of remarkable attractiveness. She Is possessed of a face beaming with intelligence and earnestness that instantly puts her en rapport with her audience. Her voice is of pure quality and sweetness, combined with great power, and possessing a flexibility and compass that give the strongest evidence of a high order of natural talent to which has been added the closest study and cultivation.

A remarkably attractive programme has been prepared, of which we will speak more fully next week.

On the evening of the 12th of December Louise Pomeroy's dramatic company will appear. 'Hearts Ease," anew lecture by Theodore Tilton will be delivered at the Opera House on the evening of the 19th of December.

Gotthold fc Rial'8 Uncle Tbm troupe comes on the evenings of the 20th and 21st.

The Agnes Wallace-Villa Combinanation follows on the evenings lof the 23rd, 24th and 25th.

The Hess English Opera Troupe will be here on the last two nights of the month.

For the month of January we are to have the Williamsons in "Struck Oil," on the 9th Mrs. Chanfrau's dramatics company on the 11th the "Celebrated Case" combination, from the Union Square theatre, New York, on the 13th and 14tb, and Joe Murphy cn the 16th.

Cbss. S, Anderson did not go to Ohio as reported, but is acting as stage manager and playing in Mr. Hanohett's drama of "Bed Rock," a new name for "The Tramp," now devastating southern Indiana.

Can it be possible that the winter is to pass without anew Hamlet being incubated in Terre Haute. If this is to be thus, truly will It be our "winter of discontent."

Bessie Turner, of Beocber-Tuwp notoriety, is playing with the "Celebrated Case" company, to be here in January.

Somebody, says the Express, has discovered that a certain person who visited the Opera House Wednesday evening to see the Dizzy Blondes, wore an overooat with collar turned up, and a slouch hat, to oonceal long hair in the gallery kept the hat on and enjoyed the performance very much.

The Hyers Sisters' colored opera troape were refused aocommodatlon at the hotels of St. Joseph, Missouri, last year, and were obliged to proceed twenty miles in a special train to Atchison after the performance. The same refusal has occurred again this yesr, and rooms have been engaged for two nights at Atchison ss before.

A bill poster in Atlanta, Georgia, was before the Reoorder of that city lately on the charge of* posting indecent pictures. They were simply represents* tlons of Msdame Rente's Minstrels In burlesque oostnmes, the same, we presume, ss posted here this week. It wss ssserted that there might be a little more girl and a little less dressing than in other pictures of the kind, bat there wss nothing objectionable In them. The Recorder adjourned the ease until he ooold personally see the pictures. The esse was an excellent advertisement for the oompany.

Etelka Gerster, the Hungarian prima donna, who has created great enthusiasm in New York, with Mapleson's Opera company, is 21 years old, married, and sings with ease in German, Italian, French and Hungarian.

A novel idea is that of H. J. Sargent, the manager of Modjeska, in having a car constructed to convey the Polish actress and the oompany supporting her on their tour through the oountry. The oar will be fitted up in palatial style, each member being assigned a special place, which they will retain during the tour, wbioh will last six months. The oar will travel over the different roads there will be no trouble about "sleepers," snd even rehearsals can go on abroad.

The English novelist, Charles Reade, who has turned literary pirate, having taken a copyrighted American novel, "That Lass ot Lowrie's," and made a play of it, last'week got the first money ever received by him for a dramatization from America. The sum was f400, and was part payment of a dramatization by him of his novel "White Lies," under the title of "The Double Marriage." The play will doubtless prove a strong one, as the plot and muoh of the inoldent are said to have been pirated from the Frenob. ZO\

The highest terms ever given to any combination visiting the Pacific slope are those paid to the Josh Hart variety oompany, wbloh opens in San Francisco, Deo. 2nd. They receive sixty per cent, of the gross receipts, and fares for the entire oompany both ways. The engagement is for six weeks:

Kate Claxton has recently purchased from the American agent of Charles Reade, a play by the latter which is considered very strong. It will be produced in New York, early in Deoember.

Dan Rice's wife is worth $75,000. She is worth it because the money was so left that Daniel couldn't draw it.

Pusey Anthony Peer, a negro, has obtained a veralct of f925 against the manager of the Arch-street Theater, in Philadelphia, for being refused admission after purchasing tickets for orchestra seats for himself and wife.

The business manager of Sothern published a card from two prominent London physicians, stating as their opinion that Sothern will not be able, for the next six months, to undertake the discharge of any professional engagements without Berlous risk to his life. This will couse the cancellation of all his contracts for the coming season, L*
