TERRE HAUTE, APRIL 17,1880

THE boom in iron and nails baa banted, and the prices of these articles are declining. ___________

MASSACHUSETTS elected delegates to the Chicago convention on Thursday. They will do what they can for Edfl&unds. __________

CONFLICTING reports come from southern Indiana concerning the injury to the fruit crop by the late cold weather. In the midst of this diversity of opinion ~we may take .courage and hope that an •excellent crop will be forthcoming.

SECRETARY SHERMAN exhibits increasing strength for the presidential nomination. If the friends of Grant «nd Blaine succeed in catting each other's throats there may be some show for him.

GENERAL GRANT is "doing" the South and bis tour appears to be extending -much beyond the limits first contemplated. He is received everywhere with great enthusiasm, the people turning -out in vast crowds to welcome him.

THE position of Congress on a new bankrupt law is stated to be about this: they would pasi such a law if they thought the people wanted it, but they have not sufficient assurance that they do, and will therefore wait until petitions for such a law begin to come in.

WEDNESDAY was afield day for Grant, Kentucky, Missouri and Wisconsin instructing for him. The same day Iowa chose delegates in favor of Blaine. The,

THE boom in prices has partially boomed itself away. Wheat, corn, pork, iard, cotton and iron have all sensibly declined during the past few months. They went up too fast and it is no bad Sign to see them coming down. The country will be all the healthier for it.

SINCE the beginning of the year, 34,855 emigrants have landed in New York, against 11,052 for the first quarter of 1870. Recently in a single day the arrivals numbered 4,000. This beats the oolored exodus all hollow, and calls for Investigation at the hands of Mr. Voorhoes. ___________

THK Indianapolis News of last Saturday evening contained 4i4 different advertisements, the largest number ever printed in an Indianapolis paper. From a hard struggle /or a bare subsistence ten years ago, the News has worked •into a position of large and steadily Increasing income and is now one of the *osost profitable newspaper establishments in the west.

A MASSACHUSETTS court knows the 'value of a traveling man's legs. In a •ait against the Grand Trunk railway the other day for damages for the loss of leg, the plaintiff was awarded 945,000. This was the third trial of the case, the flrBt trial resulting in a verdict for 918,000 and the seoond in a verdict for 928,000. The railroad company will hardly oare to obtain another trial of that case.

OUR own gorgeous De La Matyr has lately been delivered (in the Congressional Globe) of a surpassing oratorical effort of which "the hand of fire writing the sentence of relentless doom on the alabaster walls of the gorgeous temple of Mammon," is about as modest a sampleas can be selected. Our readers will be pained to learn tfcat the Doctor Is doing well and will soon be able to begin the production of another speech.

WITH 951,000,000 in government fonr per cent, bonds which yield him an annual income of $2,000,000, William H. Yanderbllt is considered one of the richest men In the world. It seems strange that one man should possess so much and yet it is a matter for serious question whether with all this enormous fortune Yanderbllt really enjoys the world auy better than many who have incomes merely sufficient to supply all .their reasonable wants.

THE report from India that the King -of Barinah had caused seven hundred people, men, women, boys and girls, to be buried alive under the towers of the city walls, sent a thrtll of horror and indignation throughout the civilised world. The sacrifice was made in compliance with the advioe of the astrologers, and for the restoration of the king's health. There is evidently plenty of missionary work yet to do In King Ttaeebau*s dominions. It is gratifying to hear that the King Is dead.

FiPTBKN years ago—on the morning Of the 15th of April, 1865, the country

as startled by the news of the assassination of President Lincoln, the night before. Persons of mature years will recall the tearful all-pervading gloom that shrouded the couutry fifteen years ago, and the dark days that followed. *. jt was the most shocking event that had .ever occurred In the nation, and the anoat dreadful experience the country was ever called upon to undergo. How near it came being averted is told by a correspondent of the New York Son, printed on the second page of this paper.

GBN. HUHTKB has officially announced his withdrawal from the race for Governor on account of the state of his health, which he says would prevent his making such a canvass of the state as be would wish to do. It it to be regrfctied that the General's impaired health renders this step necessary on his part, he would undoubtedly have been the choice of his party for the head of their ticket, and his nomination would hardly have been contested. As it is, his with drawal leaves the field open to numerous other gentlemen who pressing their claims for the place.

A FAST mail train from Cincinnati to Indianapolis now delivers the Cincinnati morning papers throughout eastern Indiana as early as the Indianapolis papers can be distributed. This bit postofBce enterprise is not much to the liking of the Journal and Sentinel, and the former charges that it is a plan of Assistant Postmaster-General Brady to vent his spleen on the Journal attacking bis conduct in reference to the "Star" routes business. On the other hand it is claimed that the train was promised a year ago but, owing to insufficient appropriations, could not be put on until the present time.

VEGETARIANS have long flourished in the world, in many lands and ages, but in England tbey have lately organized themselves into an association, with initiation ceremonies, vows, badges, tassels, degrees, and other details of a regular sect or society. Tbey are beginning also to greatly favor marrying within their society, in order that tbey may not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers in the vegetable diet. They call themselves akreophagists, or non-flesh eaters: the outside world more commonly calls them Danielites. If a long name was the thing desired, Nebuchadnezzarites might have sufficed, in memory of the monarch who for a time was put out to a grass diet. The members forswear fish, flesh, fowl, beer, spirits, and tobaoco. Their places of resort are called

point is made that the delegates from the south may compel the nomination Of Grant while they can do nothing to Gardens of Eden and although it is -elect him.

only three and a half years since the society was started, Gardens of Eden are said to have multiplied with rapidity. As Mr. Richarson, the founder of the sect, not long ago visited this country, it will not be surprising to find Gardens of Eden springing up here but butchers need feel no immediate alarm lest their occupation should be gone.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY JjiVJCJ^ING MAIL,

Announcement Extraordinary!

OWXN, PIXLKT A Co., leaders of the Clothing Trade In this oountry, are ont in an "Announcement Extraordinary" to their patrons in particular, and the publio in general

The large addition to the salesroom of their Branch Store in Terre Haute is completed, and tbey are now especially prepared to meet the wants of their immense trade, having received large consignments direct from their own Manufactory, and filled- every available space in their six thousand feet of floor room.

Their display of Mens', Youths', Boys and Childrens' Clothing, in all grades: styles and prices, is well calculated to attract general attention, and the verdict of the most skeptical is that their display is the grandest ever made in Terre Haute.

Inasmuch as they originate their own styles and manufacture their own goods, they exhibit novelties in the various departments not to be found in any other clothing house in tho West. Their garments are fashionable in fabric, artistic in shape, and perfect fitting, equaling the finest efforts of the best custom tailors. Novelties in modes and textures are introduced in their seasons, the choicest products of foreign and domestic looms, of their own importation, are represented in their elegant assortment of goods in departments, and no pains have been spared by them to attain the highest possible standard of excellence in the manufibture of reliable goods. Hence an inspection of their attractive offerings is a genuine surprise to those who were not aware of the superior style, shape angTfinish of their goods.

The constantly increasing trade of this immense establishment is evidence that the people are becoming alive to their interests, and satisfied that in trading with them tbey are dealing direct with the Manufacturers, and are saved the Middleman's profit.

Their system of doing business is incomparable. They mark everything in plain figures, are absolutely One-Price, and cheerfully refund the money for any article purchased of them that does not prove entirely satisfactory. Wherever you find Owen, Pixley A Oo's stores, East or West, you find them following the same system, and pre-eminently the Leaders of the Clothing and Gents'Furnishing Trade. ^4 j? ri
