Beeaoae, It la a paper which reaches all classes, high and low, rich and poor. Beeause, Of its very large circulation among farmers. Bfcause, It is an especial favorite with the ladies, who do a large part of the buying .ef household good)*, ID addition to thejewelry and dress goods they wear, and

critical readers of advertisements. Because, Two editions are published, Thursday atd Satux! -y evenings, anc allad vertlsement* g: both editions for prloe of one l«ftue. Because, It* rates are cheaper, all things considered, than those of any other paper in the city.

GET ready to "swear off!" THESBare indeed (n)loe times.

Now the days will begin to lengthen. THE ice is ripe and is being canned for Bummer.use.

THJS Wabash Rolling Mill gave its men a rest this week.

No green Christmas—so no fat graveyard the coming year.

MOST of the oollege boys and girls are home for the holidays. THB nail works have suspended work until after the holidays.

NEARLY all the Sunday Schools have bad delightful holiday festivities. KKYES & SYKE8slang turkeys around to each of their employes on Christmas eve.

THE ice on the river just above the I. A St. L. R. R. bridge is nine inches thick.

THB station liSusB* Was WHhotit a p^soner on Christmas day—a notable circumstance.

A aE?ER«t?s heart? and an empty pocket book have^ms^e^i^any a ^rnan sigh this week.

DON'T grumble at this cold spell. One of our ice men says it is worth in the way of ice fully $60,000.

three times the other morning before she was able to "warble off on her bright sunny way.

THK effect* of whisky could be seen on the streets Christmas day, bnt the air WAS too cool for people to get boisterous, and little rowdyism occurred.

STh* uian who ts not forming some good resolutions to take effect New Years day is either totally depraved or else has grown wise from experience.

AT this season for "turning over a new leaf" it is well to consider Josh BilUog's remark that: "After a man get* to be 38 years old he kant form enuy 11 habits much the best be can do is to steer his old ones."

ONK luiedred and Ally turkeys were given Christmas eye by Seathd Hager— one to each married man in their employ. The single men all got a can of oysters. This is a custom this liberal rtrin has observed for several seasons putt

AXY persons have adopted our suggestion of last week, to send The Mail one year asa holiday gift to some absent friend. We have a tew copies of last week's holiday issue to betfn the year with. Such a present is a reminder of the donor fifty-two times in t£e year.

IT is an evidence of better times that more presents were given this Christmas than on this holiday tor several years past. Dealers are happy over a big trade. The giftar purchased were for the most pert not costly or extravagant, proper economy and utility being considered by the donors^

THE PASSING SHOW.

8HOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE,

Hie Agnes Wallace-Villa company played here Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday evenings with a Christmas mat Inee. What with the intense cold and the excitement attendant upon Christ mas preparations, it was not until Wed nesday afternoon and evening that our people found that a very deserving oom bl nation held the boards at the Opera House. The matinee and last evening performances attracted large and de lighted audiences, and such an impression was made that good houses will greet them at any time they return.

Hie big event of the season will be the oomiug of the Hess Opera Troupe on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week. The immense sale of seats yesterday morning assures that the Opera House will be filled full on both even ings. The operas selected are two thst bring out every member of the com pany. On Monday evening it Is Gou nod's "Faust," with Emma Abbott in the lead, and on Tuesday evening the beautiful "Chimes of Normandy," led by Annis Montague. Among the new faces that will appear are Emma Abbott, Miss Montague and Addie Randall And then the familiar and ever wel come Seguins, Castle, Turner and others come also—in all making a very strong and effective combination. Thus far their trip from east to west Jbas been a series of grand ovations, and the sale of seats yesterday is evidence that Terre Haute will not be behind her sister cities in giving the party a warm and generous welcome. A popular and agreeable feature is the scale of prices— one dollar paying for the best seat in the house. Other seats at 75 and 50 cents, There is no extra charge, for reserved seats.

Amusements will be few and far be tween next month. Bessie Turner, who is with the "Cele brated Case" company which comes/his month, was advertised in Chicago by handbills as "the resl and original wit ness in the famous Beecher-Tilton case."

The Agnes Wallace-Yilla combination played "Maple Cottage" at Clinton Thursday evening. The good people up there, for their enterprise in building their neat Opera House, deserve frequent visits from such excellent parties as oom prise this combination.

The Mexican Circu3, which was here during the latter part of fair week this fall, recently exploded in San Antonio, Texas, the affair having been attached by a St. Louis livery stable keeper for a debt of $2,500

A recent issue of the Dramatic News, contains, as one of a list of celebrated actors, the portrait of Rev T. Dewitt Talmage, who is noticed by the editor as a "genuine Star Performer." In the dramatip intelligence of the paper bis "show" is thus mentioned: "Taberna cle— A grand entertainment every Sunday by Prof. Talmage and cornettist Arbuckle play "Our Club" one act at each performance."

It is wonderful what a good actor, with a fair company, can do with a mis erable play. B. Macauley, with his "Messenger from Jarvis Section," commenced a five weeks Engagement in New York week before last, and the papers pro nounce it "an unequivocal euccess," He opened to good busicess and it has con tinued since bis first night.

It takes six hours to read Mr. Tennyson's new play. It could be acted in about three nights by an industrious company.

There are more amusements in New York this winter than ever. Sixteen places of amusement are in operation. About two thousand people are connect ed with and dependent upon them. "Colonel Sellers" tickled a young man into a fit at a Memphis theater.

A Chicago daily has betrayed Mr. J. H. Haverly's confidence by prematurely revealing the following plan of that giant among amusement caterers: "Jack Haverly is now organizing seventy Brobdignagian combinations, of one hundred performers each, to traverse the globe during the coming summer. His advance agents are now engaged In advertising the most important cities of Cyprus, Afghanistan, Cochin China, Tartary, and of the interior of Africa and Australasia. Each performer will be supplied with board, washing, transportation for selt and valet, and no man will be engaged at a 1MS salary tban f&X) and two clear half-benefits weekly." "Wind her up again," ia the howl the New York gallery gods make when they encore "Grandfather's Clock."

Mr. Louis Simons, formerly business manager for the late Blanche Meda com bination, has commenced suit against that lady, Mrs. Delphi n, and General Hideout, her financial manager, for $10, 000 damages for defamation of character. It is alleged that Mrs. Delphio(Blanche Meda) formerly lived in Springfield and Boston, Mass., and did a very profitable business with "Madame Delphin's Celebrated Pills" for ladles.

The Buffalo Express says a rude follow in the third tier of the theatre, FricUy night, gave a resounding Imitation of tbe popping of a cork just as Modjeska, as "Juliet" opened tbe vial containing the poison given her by "Friar Lawrence. There was a general laugh in the galleries and Modjeeka indignantly left the stage, while tbe .curtain was rung down. After a few moments the curtain was raised sgain and the offended actress finished the play, bnt, as the Express says "the life had gone oat of it." Of coarse It had: the bottle had been open too long.

WR reprint upon tbe seoond page this week a out with description of W. A. Crawford's Ingenious device for protecting water pipes from freezing. It is a seasonable publication, because msny of our citizens are annoyed this week with bursted water pipes. Mr. Crawford guarantees absolute protection. Sach is his faith In it that]he agrees to pay all damage from its failure to operate. The machine has been thoroughly tested at the National State Bank and at Eppert's gallery. It deserves the attention of every person supplied with water from the water works.
