THE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, Is a good medium of communication between Terre Haste basinets men and I he ople who bay their goods— Became, It has the largest circulation any paper yuBitshed in this city. But not on thin account alene, but— Beeaase, It goes into the family circle on

Saturday evening, and daring Saturday •right and Sunday is read thoroughly, advertisements and all, by every member «f the family who can read, alter which it is loaned to the neighbors. Because* After baviag been read by the «, borrower* and bajers in the city, it is enveloped, stamped and sent to some friend oi relative in some other town or city.

Because, It is a paper which reaches all classes, higX and low, rich and poor. Because, Of its very large circulation among farmers. Because, It is an especial favorite with the ladles, who do*a large part of the baying of household-goods, in addition to the Jewelry and dress goods they wear, and are critical readers of advertisements. Because, Two editions are published, Thursday aid ttatuiday evenings, and all advertisements go both editions for price of one issue. •Because, Its rates are cheaper, all things considered, than those of any other paper in the city.

FOUR brick business houses are to be erected this season on Main street, west of-Seventh, by W. K. McKesn'£sq.

THE new bath bouse and fixtures will cost the owners about ^8,000. The grounds are to be laid oat lo-a park.

SHELDON SWOPB is n.jw tb« owner of the largest safe in town. It weighs six tons. He wanted one which burglars could not carry off and open at their leisure, and he thinks he has got it.

THERE are said to be a great many saloons running in this city without license. This should not be allowed. The law should be enforoed against all -suoh. It would be no more than a.uact of justice to those who comply with the law, that their rights should be protected.

A.ttOuNG man who was in the oouutry this week, upon business, reports that at nearly every farm house he saw a sign bearing the Ascription, "Wanted, farm hands." Here is a good opening for the town roosters who infest the street corners and stare people out of countenance. Walk out, boys, and find something to do.

TKJB grand jury has been at work all week, a great many oantestify who have received complimentary invitations to attend the daily matinees. Many were call ad, and a numerous band ehosen, who, during ttbecoscing week will pay their respects to U-utige Long, and be oalled upon to answer-tbe charges preferred against them.

AN old cititen who resided on aouth Sixth street, five squares from Main, nearly forty years ago, and whose plaoe ot business was in the vicinity-of the old oourt house, says his wife oseefcto call bimtoome at meal timesiby hanging out a signal, at that time there being no buildings between the two points to intercept the view. How time wosks changes.

THAT monument of departed grandeur, the triumphal arch, with its drooping flags and faded decorations,^ has at last departed from Its accastomed fta&d, and tbe plaoe which knew it aall know It no more forever—Ahanks to a kind Providenoe, through the instrumentality of Its owner, who kiudly and satisfactorily let it stand until after the Fourth for a—-consideration.

A SUPPOSED

case of rabies varied the

monotony of the usual routine of business at Bauer's drug store the other evening. It dashed through the store as though It were possessed of an evil spirit, ran up stain where for a Ume It held high carnival, but Anally came down and took possession of the back yard, from whenoe it was enticed by an enterprising polioeman, shortly after which it came to its death from the effects of a wound indicted by some person «r persons, unknown, as the coroner would say.» 1

HAYING obtained permission from the Board of County Commissioners, the oity wis! Immediately take peases sion of the eoort house square, clean It up thot^Ujr, lay it ont In walks, place seata in it, and throw it open for the use oftbe public. This is stop in the right dlrecMoo. A pobllo plU1^ has long been needed here, and if this movement is properly managed, will prove to be a great boon to the citizens of the city daring the summer months. Thanks, gentlemen of the council. Small jtarois thankfully received, and larger one»—public library for Instance —in proportion.^

THE rise ia the river is doing very serious damage to the crops in the bottoms. In tbe vicinity of Clinton a great deal of wheat has been destroyed, and the oernis mined. This is Che third year out ef four that the crops have been lost in this manner. In such localities tbe farmers will never be sare of a crop until leveee are built along the basks of the river.

Two women from the rural "deestricts" attracted considerable attention on tbe streets the other lay by tbe curiosity they evinced.

THE city "dads,1'- with that wisdom for which they are particularly noted, have passed an ordinance for the appointment of a "city detective," whose duty it shall be to ferret out crime and iniquity and iraw two dollars per day from tbe treasury. It was a similar action on the part of a ^Republican council which, a few years ago, caused a howl to proceed from the (Democratic camp, aad to which, in his inaugural address, the late Mayor lEdmunds referred in very strong language, which was Immediately acted upon by the new Democratic police board, to the discomfiture of the imported detective, who was unceremoniously bounoed.

On returning, be boarded the west bound train at tbe depot, Intending to ride as far as the crossing on Fonrth street, which, feeing behind time, ran oat at a rapid rate. Upon his attempting to alight, his foot caught one of the ties, and he was thrown under the wheels, the can passing over begfc legs, and also breaking bis skull in a frightful manner. He lay there until his groans attracted the attention oi someone passing who had him conveyed to his home, where be died on Thursday morning at tOTOVdOCk.^' 1V

The deceased was seventeen years of age. He was for some time a clerk la the store of Greiner and Paddock, but latterly has been attending the Commercial College, and clerked occasionally lor Paddock and Puroell. He was a young man who was highly esteemed by ail who knew him. At the time of the accident his father was traveling in rainris, none of the family knowing anything of his hereabouts, -bot^nes•engers were immediately dispatched in search o! him*

AMONGST other institutions, this oity is enrsed, to a certain extent, by the "bummer" element. Go where you will, yon are sure to find him. He is an animal whioh you cannot flail to recognise. He Is as easily distinguished from the rest of mankind as la the orthodox clergyman. He is everywhere at all times. If you do not see him he is sure to make himself known to you. He generally manages to keep himself well dressed, although how he does it is a mystery to everybody exoept himself, his God, and whoever furniahes him the clothes. He is "everything to all men," unless he is morally certain it will be a dead loss to him, when he may ohange his complexion for a short time. He generally lodge* about saloons, and can always tell wj&ere tbe best "free lunch" Is set. No matter who goes in for a drink, he is always on band, and never requires a second invitation to "take suthln." He can tell by the shape of a man's mouth whether or not he said drink. The saloon keeper knows bim, and when be serves bim with a drink, he never forgets to give him a tumbler with a bottom not less than two inches thick, fearing be might forget himself and take too much, thereby doing himself great harm, if such a thing were possible. But his best catch is just before an election then it is that he gets his work in in a very artistic manner. He calls upon all the candidates upon all the tickets he can afford to be a little more independent at such a time the candidates are always thin skinned and oan, or at least have to, stated ftU kinds of talk be informs tliem in time, and privately of course, where he can secure so many votes, but to do which he must have some money, and he is pretty sure to get it, too, after which he goes off and spends it upon a glorious spree, laughing at the fool who gave it to him. He is a very sociable fellow, and has actually been known to stay with a friend as long as he has any money. If his friend can't spend the money be will kindly take care of it for bim, calling the deposit a loan, which, by the way, is never paid. He is a member of society wbose room is preferable to bis company-
