Sunday's Express: The adverse criticism of Ed Friend's "Roman Sentinel," in The Mail of yesterday, does not set well on Ed's stomach. He desires us to Insure the public that "the Bentinel" VfaS hot Ah original c6HC$pti9B« It was introduced at the request of the man a^ers of the entertainment. The Chinaman was an accident. Ed found the costume in ono of the dressing rooms, and on the spur of the moment appro pristed it.

James McCutcbeon has reason to be proud of his victory in election to the city council last Tuesday in the Sixth ward. It was the third time he had been put forward by the Republicans, and each time he had taken the race, though he knew his party was hopelessly in the minority. He evidently believed that there was something in the saving that: "Tho third time's the charm," or that: "If at first you don't suoceed, try, try again.

Major George M. Barbour, the correspondent of several out of town papers, has found since he took charge of the Indianapolis Journal's Terre Haute department, his duties so arduous as to necessitate his retiring from the city department of the Evening Gazette, where he has done some excellent work. The proprietors of that paper pay him a high eompliment on his withdrawal. Mr. Barbour is editing a very newsy column In the Indianapolis Journal, besides contributing to its editorial columns.

Charles Forbes, propriety, of the dramatic company now playing ot the Opera House, came to this city oa the first canal boat that arrived here some twenty-five years ago. The town was brilliantly illuminated and decorated on thf important occasion, for it gave the little Prairie City some other Mode of travel than Voorbees' stage coaches and steamboat*. Railroads at that tine had not come west. He taught music here several months and then thought it one of the prettiest towns in the west. He has no reason to change his opinion since taking a little observation yesterday afternoon, though he misses many of the old land marks.

It is better to improve by other people's errors than to find fault with them. The fault of a few people is to bay furniture at other placas than R. Foster A Son's.

The clothing var this spring has been war to the knife and the knife to the hilt, but none of them can get below the prices of J. P. Brennan—that is, for perfect fitting, well made garments.

Try him once.

In past years gentlemen in visiting the eastern cities have noted that many of the nobbiest and prettiest styles of summer bats do not get out this way, either from lack of taste or enterprise in our dealers. But now it is quite different as will be seen on a visit to S. Loeb & Co's, corner of Main and Fifth streets. The light summer hats, and especially the straw hats are remarkably pretty and stylish this season, and Loeb & Co have them in great quantity and variety. (f p,

The Rev. Lyman Abbott writes from Boston to the Christian Union that the Rev. W. H. H.

The Baltimore minister who ordered the pews of certain delinquents to be nailed up overdid the business. The pewholders were some months behind in the payment of their rents, and he took this method to make them settle. They went to church with their families on a recent Sunday morning, and were both astonished and offended to find what had been done. Instead of planking down the amount of tbeir indebteness, they marcbed out of the sancta ary and said that the pastor was welcome to nail up every pew in^the church if it pleased him to do so.
