In (lie latter thoy succeed rnlly, but in tho former they are a failure. Their conversation la of the indicated by the ahape of their howls rrow and nothing In it.

and nnleaa it is stopped he will take great pleasure in exposing their tricks. TfftHiws have been insulted time and again by these loafers. It is not long since T. T. heard a prominent citizen complain of this and wonder why it could not be stopped. It is becoming altogether too common in this community and the administration of severe punishment in a few instances without the formality of going to law might have a wholesome effect. It ia an insult to any community to have such brutes in its midst and the sooner there is a thinning out the better.

OBNOXIOUS PXOPLK.

There are people in this world who can take pleasure in that which would disguat others, elae there would bo no obnoxious people in tho world. During his bachelor life T. T. haa boarded around to some extent and haa observed boarding-house manuors aa practised by many different people. He has heard the regular boarder at a first-class hotel use language so vulgar, towards a helpless waiter, because some one had taken his aoflt, that a low-down blackguard would have been ashamed of his oonduct and this, too, was indulged in tho presence of ladles. T. T., to draw It mild, considers such a man a very obnoxious person, even though he does niovo In good society. Another obnoxious person who frequents boarding houses ia the individual who is always finding fault with his victuals nothing please* him, and tho sins of tho proprietor and cook are visited upon the Innocent waiter who has the miafortuno to be in attendance at hla table he comes in with a growl and goes out liko a thun-dor-cloud. Judgiug from his actions ono would think he is bound to that particular board Ing-houae by a tie tighterthan the matrimonial knot in a country whero divorcos ore unknown but he is not so bound, and, go where ho will, he ia always the aanie nothing ploasea him if hoover reachoa tho Heavenly land there will le trouble ahead for the angels, and should he bo assigned a position In the other place Baton will have to neglect his business in other quarters to keep him straight. "Hut the most obnoxious object which T. T. haa seen lately ia a conumdrum who frequonts tho Opera House. He is often to bo found in the front row of the balcony circle. His make up is only exoellod by his check and both are immense. Ho is gotten up regardlews of taste, although some care is evidently taken In regard to tho exponce. Hla hair is parted in the middle with the utmost care, and tho few hairs on his upper lip are artistically arrangod. His clothes are of the latest cut. Sometimes he appears in kid gloves and sometimes bare handed, but always armed with a huge opera glass. He is jwjsaessed of the assurance of a successful politician of forty years standing. His face is always wreathed In smiles which he casts around In profusion which would put to shun 10 the greateat spendthrift who everllvod. He grins at everybody whether they like It or not. His opera glass is always leveled at some one and it Is almost as quick in its motions as a gatling gun. His appreciation of the play is always evidenced by an idiotic laugh which is probably the only natural production which ho is capable of. No one seems to know hint. Some says he is a "beer jerker" and others incline to the opinion he Is a knight of the rasor. No matter what he isT. T. is not of the opinion that he ia commissioned to put on all the airs in the world and inflict his annoying attentions upon those who do not appreciate anything of the kind. Hereafter he should occupy a less conspicuous position and confine his attentions to something else his mind ia not of the order which can grasp tho preformation and the audience at one andtheaame time.

HKV. E. K. HOW» while pastor of the Congregational Church, promised in the way of one or more lectures to contribute one hundred dollars to Plymouth Chapel. In fulfillment af that pledge he stopped here Wednesday evening, on the way from his present home, Newtonville, Masa., to the meeting of the National Council of Congregational Churches at St Louis, and delivered a lecture on Charles I*mb, the English poet and humorist. It was an intellectual treat greatly enjoyed by the large audier*" composed almost exclusively of friends and admirers. At the dona the lecture an informal reception mJ tendered him in the church parlors. Soch an enthnseaatte greeting we have never beforp witnessed, and the joy of the occasion waa mutual between pastor and people. Mr Howe lookng well, and that he is popular In his new home as well as here. Is evidenced by the fact that at a social gathering of his church people last week he was handed a little surprise in the way of a pone contalng thirteen gold pk*«»-Jt99Q. Mr. Howe went to St L*uls the same night of the lecture. He will return the fawt of next week, and hope* to arrange his movements no as to stay here two or three day*. Mrs. Hew*, who, by the way, was gladly welcomed, is here meanwhile, the guest of the fkmily of George E. Brokaw. eoath Sixth stmt.

The pressure upon our columns, this week, prevents the usual attention to the delightftil entertainments of the pest week at the Opera House. We should be pleased to tell of

BAR!«KY MARAT*LKFV

On Wednesday evening, as "Uncle Dan'l" In "tho Messenger from Jarvis Section," a play full of deep interest, a chapter or two in the life of a homely, practical, N§w England farmer, with such an admixture of hayseed and honesty, homespun and heartiness, unsophistication and unselfishness, simplicity and shrewdness, that he at once finds his way to the affections of all who see him and then on Thursday and last evenings

MILKS' JUVJBNILHB, |j.

In operas of "Little Duke" and "Chimes of Normandy," scarcely a stiff or awkward boy or girl in the lot, their fresh -young voices and graceful movements, charmlug the audiences and causing the wonder tp arise bow so much precocity and talent could be gathered into one organization. But as we remarked at the beginning, we haven't the space to speak of these and to toll also of what is coming to amuse and instruct ourahowgoing peoplo, who by their patronage thus far seem disposed to give a liberal support to the long list of first-class entortainmonts engaged by the enterprising management of the Opera House

On Monday evening will be produced the new play of a

$! OENTLKHAN FROM NEVADA its recent ^ppsentation at St. Iiouis the Republican Said:

'At the Olympic theatre Mr. J. B. Folk introduced his new play entitled "A Gentleman from Nevada." with very apod company as support. This play has made an undoubted hit, and It has future which will familiarise It everywhere. In proof of Its substantial succMi here it tuny be stated that "A Gentleman from Nevada" opened to a fair audience on Monday nlftht, and that In theatrical parlance the houses Jumped nearly #100 a night for each succeeding performance until Friday nlglit inclusive. The play is Intrinsically interesting, and its situations afford flue scope for genteel comedy, as has already »een stated in these columns Christopher Columbus Gall (J. B. Polk) Is a free and easy, cool and breezy American who get* Into a neat of English nobility and opens the windowH and doors and lets the air and sunshine In. He is addicted to Innocent slang and chronic Americanisms which sound to the lords and ladles of Egerton pork like a a foreign language. He is a millionaire doing Europe and talks dashingly of his travels and impressions of the old countries nnd art. He criticises busts and pictures upon the llnanclal basis,draws ludicrous comparisons and altogether makes great merriment. But his true manhood and nobility of character are rccognlred by his noble friends, and he receives the reward of honesty in the hand and heart of the noble young girl whom lie had lH'frlended In the wilds of Nevada. He Is never repulsively rough or uncouth, tho Incidents are natural, even to the love-ntnk-ing, and the compensation is Just..

OTTO, A OKRMAN.

On Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Knight will again produce thoir pretty drama of "Otto," which has been roceivod by large and delighted audiences at its every presentation here, it was written especially for Mr. Knight with a view of giving prominence to his powers of re-producing the German type of character. It abounda in amusing and pathetic situations, and bristles with quaint humor. Unliko most peraonators of German character, Mr. Knights chief strength is not shown in his humor he reserves that for the pathos of the play. Ho is greatly aided by his talented wife and together they produ« a number of songs, ballads, duetts, dances, anil specialties as the play progresses. Since they were here last, they have scored a big aucceas in Great Britain, and now return flushed with the triumphs of their visit to the old world.

THK rmMALK xvmmutLAt

Fr6m all accounts the exhibition of Fknny May's Blondes, at Dowling Hall, last Saturday night, waa the nastiest show ever given in thia city, and should have had the attention of the police, The Opera House management acted wisely In refusing them the use of that building.

The people of the Christian church have been successful in securing Rev. Oeo. B. Sweeney, of Chicago, as their pastor, and he will be here within a month, im -si,

IF you will read every advertisement in this issue you will get much valuable and interesting information. Like everything else in The Mail the advertisements aro always fjoslt and sparkHng.

THK opening ball of the season will be given by the McKeen Cadet Hand, at Dowling Hall, on Mondavevenlng. The proceeds are to be used for an uniform fund, and the "boys" should be encouraged in their efforts to get new uniforms No improper characters will be admitted and all who enjoy a good social ball should go to Dowling Hall on Monday evening.:'^

THH Oratorio Society have in lively preparation the oratorio of Judas Macabous, to be produced on theevenlng of December 3d, and have secured Miss Fannie J. Kellogg for the solo parts, an announcement that will be received with delight by her many admirers in this city, where she scorod some of her first triumphs.

THKRK is a little advertisement at the top of the last page of this paper which we imagine will attract attention. It requires considerable nerve as well as some little cash, to occupy so much of The Mail's space, and we don't think the proprietor of the "Bankrupt Store" would do so, unless he has secured what seems to.be a bonanxa, and is prepared to offer his patrons some rare bargains. Go and see.

FRANK MCKKKN, cashier of McKeen's Bank, and Mias Mary McGregor,daughter of Alexander McGregor, Esq., were united in marriage, at St. Stephen's Church, Thursday evening, the rector, Rev. S.F. Dunlmm officiating. After a reception ai the home of the bride's parents, the bridal jwir '.oa* the night train for New York They will remain east about two weeks, and on their return will go to housekeeping on north Seventh street, the house being already furnished for thoir use. I waa one of the most brilliant weddings ever solemnized in this city—worthy of these representatives of two of our oldest and best families. May all their future life be bright and happy as this joyous occasion.

MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses have been issued sincoour laat report:

Jeflteiwon Allen and Klmln* Price. Chan. Room and Anna Barton. Chas. Hasan and Cecelia Michaels. David H. Reed and Fanny Homely. Jefferson Derrictaon and Indiana wakten. Harvey M. Jackson and LacindaC Woolen.

THK following redept for a "plum cake," taken from a 000k book published in England 150 years ago, tends to to bear out the reputation our forefathers had for bring hearty eatera. These are the constituents: 'Take a peek of finest floor, spread it abroad, and dry It before a dear fire, work it up with four pounds of the beat butter, and four pounds of sugar, an ounce of doves, once, cinnamon, ginger, a pound of oandyM lefttoa and orange, warm milk, six pounds of currants. let the whole rise, then bake."

ABOUT ADVERTISING. Lockport, X. T. Union. Fence board advertisements are well enough, but if you are desirous of purchasing aw article, it is esaksr and more convenient to look through the columns of a newspaper to see who has it for sale, than it is to "hook up" a team and drive around the country reading the fnt«Q signs.

Great Preparations at the CENT STORE for the Holidays.

OUR PEOPLE.

Richard J. Sparks is to be retained as Sheriff Stepp's deputy. The Qaaette says D. R. Cunningham, a colored man, has commenced the practice of law here.

Geo. E. Partington and family started for Washington yesterday. Mrs. F. will stay there some time.

George G. Duy has set up business for himself as a dealer in real estate, and has already several bargains booked.

Geo. F. Boggs, after recuperating in Canada for some five months, is again greeting his many friends at Jauriet & Co's.

Moses C. Carr, for a l/ri$c time with the Express, has gone acros&fne street with the Gazette. Mr. Carr is a valuable and handy man to have about a news-

A merry party of gay masqueraders surprised Harley Pritchett, at the Bronson House, last night, and tripped the light fantastic till the "wee sma' hours" this morning.

It is understood that W. H. Rippetoe has resigned his membership in the Light Guards and will take the Captaincy of the McKeen Cadets, which has been tendered him.

The Express mentions Harmon L. Miller, J. O. Jones and D. C. Greiner as reported candidates for the postoffice, and the Gazette says H. H. Boudinot Is to be collector of revenue.

W. H. Armstrong has been making an exhibit this week of Buntin A Armstrong's medical preparations and surgi cal instruments at the meeting of the Tri-State Medical Association in Louisville.

Capt. Potter met Charley Minshall in one of the corridors of the Vatican, at Rome. The meeting was a surprise to both, and doubtless the Captain gave Charley some fatherly advioq about how to see the world.

B. F. Bolinger, of Shelbtjrno, Sullivan county, and H. B. Iindasy, of Flemingsburg, Ky., are two welcome additions to our city. They have opened a hardware store, with a well selected stock, at 114 south Fourth street.

Jesse Cleveland, the whitewasher, waltzes to the front aa an original Garfield man. It will be remembered that in Andy Johnson times he told Judge Scott that if there was going to be trouble in getting a man to serve as postmaster, he would take it.

Perry Huston came up from Evansville to serve as one of the attenants at the McKeen-McGregor wedding. It is surprising that our good looking friend has not long ago acted as principal on such an occasion. There is a "good catch" yet in store, for some lucky girl

Mr. Kussner's family are now eagerly looking for the arrival of their children from Europe. Mr. Albert Kussner has earned for himself such a splendid reputations as a most skillful tuner and repairer of Instruments, that owing to the great amount of work contracted to be seen to regularly, Mr. Kussner has been totally unable to keep up during the past few months, but hopes in a short time to fully catch up again and be able to attend to all calls promtly.

The center of town ia the corner of Main and Seventh streets. It is here is located the big grocery house of Wright A Kaufman. It is not necessary to go farther if you want the choicest groceries, the freshest country produce, the finest fruits, canned goods, cured meats, poultry and table supplies of every description, at the very bottom prices. Their long experience enables them to know what the people want, and they know where to get it.

One of the most attractive places in the city—one in which an hour or two can be pleasantly passed—one where a person is always welcome—is the Central Bookstore, with its table and shelves filled with books, walls adorned with fine pictures, cases full of mantle and table ornaments, fine knivss and scissors, pocket books, photographs an the hundreds of articles usually found in a well stocked book store. In stationery, staple and fancy, their stock Is large, varied and attractive. Blank Books of every desaription and ail kinds of school supplies are to be found there.

At aa early this morning, a woman might have been seen in the vicinity ai the police headquarters, in great anxiety for the safety of her husband. Her story waa that at daylight this morning he left his bed without saying a word. This was so strange that she got up and immediately dressed, to see where he was. He was not about the house. He wss seen soon after near the river bridge, but here all trace waa lost, until finally the agonised wife found him at A. IL Bocyman'a, 118 aouth Fourth street, trying on a pair of the famous Lalkyette Boots, which are now having each a big sale. It Is here that ia to be found, at low prices, a carefully selected stock of boots and shoes for men, women and children, add a corps of the heat boot makers ia the city making up to order.

present moment should go and see the Cottage Sets and the Parlor Sets R. Foster A Son on north Fourth stroet aro selling for $40.

Ohio street, between Third and Fourth No's 311 and 313. He can now

boast of having the largest stock in this dtv. Call and learn his prices before buying elsewhere.

J. P. Brennan haa settled down in hi# ew and elegant merchant tailoring quarters next to Rippetoe's now stand, and would like to have the public call and inspect his goods. Tho stock apeaks for itself, being large, variod and elegant. There's no one who cannot get what be wants.v 2^$*

The readers of The Mail should bear'. In mind that for smoked white fish, trout, halibut, codfish, mince meat, buckwheat flour, oysters, celery, cranberries maple molasses, and a choice line of fresh, canned fruits and vegetables you should call on Richard Dahlen, on Fourth street just south of Main. $

The end men in Havorly's new Masta-* don minstrol troupe aro to wear costumes of scarlot and plush, and the people in this vicinity are mostly wearing hats purchased at S. Loeb A Co's, sign of the? Big Black Bear, corner of Main and Fifth streets, because of the largo and. attractive variety there found, and the,: reasonable prices. S. Loeb A Co., show a choice line of gents furnishing goods.M
