Our talented artist friend J. F. Gookins has put on exhibition at the Central bookstore the laUst production of his brnsh, upon which he has put in odd hours for tbe past year and a half. It is entitled "The Land of Nod," and represents a fair-haired little boy, who, tired with play has crept in under an overshadowing bank of flowers, and sat down on an old stone step to read Fairy Tales. He has dropped asleep and dreams over again the stories he has been reading, and the procession of the little folk swarms around him.

A. W. Freeman, of Aurora, Ind., son-in-law of the la James Cook, and well known to our older citizens, spent a few days in this city this week. His friends have been sending him occasional copies of The Mail, and now he says to send it regularly, direct from this office. Oar Terre Haute friends who are sending away their copy of The Mail, after reading it, have no idea how in time itswells our subscription list, like tbe case now mentioned. Send them away. You send your friend what is more acceptable than a letter, and at the same time are doing us a favor.

Prof. Robert Garvin, of the Terre Haute Commercial College, went to Louisville last week, where he formed a partnership with W. B. Steele, one of bis former graduates. Mr. S. was for several years in the employ of W. S, Rvce and has been conducting a Spencftrian college in Louisville. Mr. Garvin we consider one of the best educators in commercial bookkeeping in tbe land, and tbe new firm of Garvin A Steoleisa strong team. Mr. G. retains his interest with, Mr. Daily in the commercial college here, and will be back and forth, making his home here. While we wish him the fullest success in his new venare, we are mean enough to hope it will •not be so successful as tc cause him to pull up entirely from this city.

Husbands and wives should consult one another in all that comes within tbe experience, observation or sphere of the other. A hesitation or grim yielding to the wishes of the other always grates upon a loving heart. They should be in accord upon one thing. That is in buying their grocer and table supplies at Wright A Kings, if they want tbe best in market at bottom prices. A fev Hnes in big black type in another column tells of some of tbe good things they new offer.

TERRE HAUTE A RD AY EVEN

Vice President Wheeler is declared to be one of the most acceptable presiding offtoers that has presided in the Senate for many years. He is quiet, firm, courteous and dignlfiod, understanding tbe rules nf the body thoroughly, and enforcing tbem quietly, without noise or bluster. ^Tbe English language ts wonderful for its aptness of expression. When a num ber of men and women get together and look at each other from the sides of room—that's called asooiable. When hungry crowd call upon a poor minister and eat him out of bouse and home— that's called a donation party.—Turner Fall's Reporter.

James Murray wanted to show the crowd, who were dlsoussing the subject In a Syraouse, N.

Boston's latest tragedy, the killing by Wilson, of himself and wife, appears to have b9en caused by his conviction that she was bis superior Intellectually, Not long previously they went to phrenologist to have their heads examined, with a view of settling the troublesome question. The phrenologist told tbem that the wife had the best brain and was fairly entitled to the leadership in the family. Wilson was greatly agitated by this information, and weepingly declared that he had made the most serious blunder of his life in marrying a woman who knew more than he did.

There is a great scarcity of womankind in Idaho territory, and New England is to be appealed to.

Among young ladies who are learning to skate this winter the interest in fall styles has been revived. "Dipped into a weak solution of accomplishments" is the term now applied to those of our girls professing to be highly educated.

He was bound to be accurate, and he described the woman's costume thus: "She wore an elegant suit of something or other, cut bias, and trimmed endwise."

A lady in Louisville has a husband who snores.

But pretty often when a young girl says she doesn't want you to kiss her is the very time she does want you to and you'd better take the bece fit of the doubt.—Norristown Herald.

If a lady sitting for a picture desires td compose her mouth to a bland and serene character, she should, just upon entering the room, say, "Bosom," and keep the expression into which tbe mouth subsides, until tbe desired effect in the camera is produced. If on the other hand, she wishes to assume a distinguished and somewhat noble bearing, not suggestive of sweetness, she should say, "Brush," the result of which is infallible. If she wishes to make her mouth look small, she must say, "Flip but if the mouth be already too email, and needs enlarging, she must say, "Cabbage." If she wishes to look mournful, she must say, "Kerchunk If re signed, she must forcibly ejaculate, "S'cat to Kamscatka." "What shall we teach our girls?" yells an exchange. 1 bat's easy. Teach them that nature knows best what color of hair will harmonize best with their complexions. Teach them that an hour glass is not necessarily the best model for the human figure. Teach them that there are some young men who appreciate a girl that can pound beefsteak, and mend socks, and make soap, as well as one that can frizzle the hair all over her head, torture a piano, and talk about ball dresses, ceramics qnd Society. Teach them that such young men are dreadfully scarce—though that isn't exactly what we started out to say.
