Gen. Frank White, on Monday turned over to D. W. Minshall the office of revenue collector. Herbert Madison, who has proved one of the most efficient men in the service, will be retained as chief deputy.

It is with much pain that we have to state that W. H. Buckingham is lying at death's door. Those near and dear to him, who are so tenderly watching his bedside, were a little more hopeful, yesterday evening, but this afternoon the chances of his recovery are very much against him.

S. A. Herrick and daughter, of Denver Colorado, have been visiting their old home and friends here this week. They went to Chicago last night, and, returning will pass through here next Thursday on the way home. Mr. Herrick finds the Colorado climate greatly beneficial to his health.

Indianapolis Journal: Charles Eppinghousen, the architect, drew fl,250 from the state treasury, yesterday, in payment of his services as an expert witness before the state house investigating committee. He says this is all be has to show for an investment of -140,000 in state bou9e plans and competition.

Ed. W. Ross took an involuntary bath on Wednesday. A portion of the grade running north from the west end of the Main street bridge, has been washed away and the gap filled temporarily with brush and rubbish.

He was married only last Christmas eve, and his young wife was awaiting his return from a business trip, when the awful news came of hia death.

The papers have uuwittingly done Jamts P. Voorhees an injustice in coupling his name with some ShakEDearian recitations at the Oakland, Ills., depot. It was Frank Roderus, travelug for r. R. Jeffers. who was introduced, as a joke, to a correspondent of tbe St. Louis Globe-Democrat as Mr. Voorhees, and quoted Shakspeare while waiting for a train. We learn that J. P. V. basin contemplation giving tbe Indianapolis people another chance to praise or condemn his Hamlet.

Tbe Ypnkers Gazette says that "one thing in this world that men never to understand is a woman." We never saw one yet that couldn't make herself understood if she wanted anything very bad—for Instance, some of tbe elegant new and nobby stationery for which Button «fc Go's Central Bookstore has such an enviable reputation, or the elegant books, albums, pictures, mantel and table ornaments, that render tbe Central so attractive.

Tacitus once said that early marriages make us immortal. If this be so there is a grand army of young men in the country wbo don't seem to care muob for wings, crowns, harps and other celestial furniture. They ougbt to reform, get married, enjoy tbe pleasures of housekeeping, and boy tber table supplies of Wright fc King, tbe popular grocers on tbe corfier of Main and Seventh streets. For it is a real pleasuae to keep house when such a well filled grocery house is so bandy, and where you hsve only to leave orders for anything in season* and it Is promptly delivered at your house without farther trouble.

People and Things.

"We fiud him guilty, but not very guilty," was a recent Chicago verdict. The Boston Globe thinks a felon on tbe band is worse than two in the peni tentiary.

A Burlington, Vt, blacksmith has just established a "conservatory of horseshoeing."

Grant's feet are pointing this way now that is, he's on tbe other side of the globe.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, pays Ben Butler $17,000 rent for his residence in Washington.

The latest firearm—the Chinese musket. See? this ougbt not to hang fire too long.—Buflalo Every Saturday.

It was a Chicago journal that said: "A few more medical schools, and there will be no business left for resurrection day."

Francis Murphy, after a lecture tour through Kansas, intends to settle a town at gome point on the Kansas Pacific railroad.

A sign before a Boston grocery reads as follows: "Wooden pails, 6 cents each. Notice—We did not steal these pails, but we think the man we bought tbem from did."

Dr. Parr says that "The nearer people live to each other the shorter their lives." This is discouraging information to young people wbo spend seven evenings each week sitting on tbe same chair.

Dr. James Freeman Clarke, of Boston, recently delivered a discourse on the Chinese question. He very quaintly and truly said that in America, if a man is black we enslave him 4f he is red we steal his tands and massacre his wife and children, and if he is yellow we won't let him come bore at all.

A bride waited two hours after tbe time appointed for a wedding in Goshen, Ohio, but tbe bridegroom did not come. It was decided to send for him before dismissing the guests. He wss found at home with one side of his face shaved, and so nervous that he had not been able to wield tbe razor soy longer.

Tbe* Boston Herald calls the public schools "a paradise of red tape," and adds: "Teachers are oompelled to give much of their valuable time to filling up'blanks' with statistical Information for State and ooanty officials and to swell tbe archives of some board." The same remark would apply this side of Boston.

Tramps are defined by Michigan law to be "persons refusing to work for tbe usaal and common wages given to other persons for like work in the place where they may be." This definition is certainly a lenient one, snd does not take in tbe vast army of unemployed wbo are willing to woik even for less thanthe wages usually paid.

TKRRE HAUTE jSA'LUKDAY EVENING MAIL.

One of Emerson's diversions is to wander through the streets aud watch artiaana at work. There are a great many perarm* without bis knowledge and culture who are amused in tbe aame way.

A Virginia colored man was Indioted for selling liquor without license. Wbeu He saw the jury before whiab he was to be tried, about equally divided between white and black, be exclaimed "For God'a sske don't let tbem niggers try mel" Efforts were made to pacify him, but be Insisted that "niggers would hang a man juat to see him kick."

At Burlington, Iowa, a night or two ago, about a dozen tramps gathered in an empty box ear in tbe yard of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, intending to steal a free ride westward. They were discovered by some of tbe employes, wbo locked tbe oar, switched it up and down tbe yard, banged it agalnat other cars and sidetracked it several times, and finally left it locked upon a awltcb.

SPECIAL CARD

FROM

Thanking our numerous friends for their liberal patronage during former seasons, we invite pa to our

NEW SPRING STOCK.

The large and tasteful selections, together with uniform low prices, must please every buyer. We have for many years held tbe position of tbe leading bouse in our branch of business, and, being recognized as such, we shall not lower our standard by keeping inferior grades of Carpeta, and other goods, to deceive purchasers. We are pursuing a legitimate business and honest merchandise is entitled to a lair profit. We do not propose to sell some goods at less than oost as a bait, but are prepared to proteot our-customers at «11 tlaaes and under all circumstances. We never buy "job lots" nor "auction stock" through whloh channels so many inferior goods are disposed of. We deal directly with manufacturers, and every article sold will be guaranteed of superior quality.

Our facilities for work are always ual to the requirements of trade and orders receive prompt and careful attention.

eqo all

We shall enter upon no "war" with our competitors. Tbe field Is wide and there is room for all and we do not believe the public are any better served by discourtesies and rivalries between merchants.

FOSTER BROTHERS DEPARTMENT sToik

And its unparalleled low prices. If you want to buy a pin, or ad elegant silk dress, a spool of cotton or a |50 shawl, a paper of needlfes or a superb Ingrain or Brussels carpet, and you are foolish enough to go and purchase of anybody else than us, we propose that in all and every case your pocket shall suffer by your lack of wisdom.

The new firm of Foster Brothers was organized a few days since and has bought out tbe estate of John Gray Foster, a former? member of tbe firm. As reorganized the Arm consists of:

SCOTT FOSTER, of New York City, O.N.FOSTER, of Fort Wayne, Iud.,

A. Z. FOSTER, ofTerre Haute, Ind.

For tbe past three months we have been selling off the stock of goods on hand at a great sacrifice, so that when tbe new firm opened it would not have to show hardly a dollar's worth of old goods to its customers. At present, our large store is full of empty shelves, but our New York partner and his assistant buyers are now purchssing an elegant stock of new goods, which we shall offer for tbe first time on our opening day,

Saturday, March 29th.

Remember our store will be closed, to enable us to make some improvements and needed alterations, on March 22 J, 23d, 24th, 25tb, 26th, 27th and 28th.
