We had tho pleasure yesterday of making tho acquaintance of Mr. Mark Herman, of London, Kngland, who was here to introduce his celebrated vermin destroyer, an advertisement of which vrill found in this paper. He partlcalarly interested us in showing the same advertisement in a down or more papers of different languages, and widely separated countries, iucludlng Chinese, Arabic, etc. tiulick A Berry are .sole agents for this Stat*.

The incredulous, after having priced goods in all all other houses in the city are convinced that Jauriet A Co. are offering their entire stock at as low figures as their neighbors and still take off 20 per cent, on all purchases, excepting Domestics which are offered at cost.

Mrs. lin A Co., In the now McKeen block, first door west of theTerre Haute House, are in constant receipt of now novelties in millinery goods, embracing alt the latest styles and shapes. With a desire to ple**e, they solicit the .patronage of our ladies, confident of giving the fullest satisfaction in style and price.

The delightful weather of the past week has kept the painters and paper hangemou tho jump. There seems to be more Axing up, renovating and decorating dwellings, offices and stores than in any previous season. One muse *oi this is the low prices inaugurated by J. "W.

Roberts

Co. In the prices of wall

paper. Their new establishment at the corner of Sixth and Ohio is well stocked with the greatest variety of patterns, and competent hangers are ready to put it promptly on the wall.

Those elegant goods spoken of last week have arrived at J. P. Brennan's popular merchant tailoring house, and have put Mr. Brennan's large and lively force at work with all possible speed to make them up into suits. The man who is not suited with these goods, the elegant tits, the good work and the low prices at Brennan's deserves to go ragged and half naked all the remaining days of his life.

An humble, happy, man enjoys far more enviable lot than a great and misorable one still it is kind .of nice to be a millionare. But all can afford to cover the head with a nice late Htvlo hat, at the low prices sold by S. Loeb A Co, corner of Main and Fifth streets. Drop in there and see the great variety and take a look at the well selected stock of gent's furnishing goods.

Why is it that a farmer's wife can get out of a high wacrnTi T.-HKov»t ttlirai-.tiuu attention while a young lady, alighting from a buggy, creates intense excitement amongst all the young men in tho neighboorhood. Just make a note of this, for instance at the corner of Main and Seventh streets, where farmers wives and the daughters of our citizens get out of wagons and buggies, in such great numbors to purchase table supplies at Wright A Kaufman's immense gro ory house.

Ymong the good features this city none tho least is the well stocked book and stationery establishment of J. Q. Button A Co. The standard books of the ago, and the latest publication of tho day will be found thero. Aud any book not in stock will be promptly ordered. Tho Central Bookstore has long been recognized as headquarters for blank books aud commercial stationery and as for nobby writing materials you will always find there the very latest and most desirable styles.

Editors are as likely to do wrong as are ordinary people. It is wroug, on general principles to commence an item and before tho reader is awaro of the fact, land him into an advertisement. But we are doing no wrong to the twenty thousand readers of The Mail in saying that nowhere in Torre Haute can be found a better general stock of shoes of tho finest material, as well as the more substantial manufacture, for women, mines and children, and home made work of every description, at the lowesi prices, than at A. H.Boegeman A Go's No 104 south Fburth street.

STEIN HECKLES BERG Are doing a big business at 451 Main Street, which is not surprising, as it is well known they handle only the best makes of Boots and Shoes, among which can be found Dunbar's fine shoes for misses and children also, Cox, Young A Gardner's, Reed A Weaver's tine sewed shoes for ladies. Call and examine their large and handsome stock of goods, which are now all in, and ask their prices, as they are offering some good bargains in fine foot wear.

OTHER PEOPLE. _:

A San Francisco court has decided that a '"an has no right to whip his wife after he is divorced from her.

Josh Billings says that an enthusiast is a person who believes about four times as much as he ean prove, and who can prove about four times ss much as anybody believes.

A few days ago, Patrick Madden stopped his little child in the street in New York, as he was on his way to school, pulled the boy's coat off and pawned it for whisky. He was arrested.

Judge Swing, while presiding in the United States Supreme Court at Cincin nati recently, sprang off the bench, pulled off his coat, and with it extinguished flames which enveloped the head of negro boy, who had exploded a ean of alcohol in the court room.

An old man in Lqwiston, Me.rrefused to ride at his wife's funeral, saying that he wanted to take his last walk with bar. And so, in a pouring rain, unprotected by umbrella or overcoat, he followed the hearse with bowed head a distance of more than a mile to the cemetery.

That was a philosophical bigamist in New York the other day, who received a sentence of a year and a half with the remark to the first wife, who prosecuted him, "I am "satisfied it is worth ten years, madam, to get away." Thus does justice miss its mark when it tries to punish.

The man who rubbed vitriol into woman's face on Long Island, after first carefully protecting his own hands with rubber gloves, and the New York woman who threw red pepper into a man's eyes after first getting two men to hold her victim, have both received heavy sentences. 'Let me go home and bear the blessed news to my unbelieving wife," said man wearing a many-pocketed ulster, who had just professed religion at a Now Jersey revival meeting. "Let me out! let me out! I've got salvation!" But a suspicious detective unloaded him of three watches and five pocketbooks that he had taken from mourners around the anxious seat.

He was a tall, thin old man, with a long beard, very black, except where there was an inch of gi'ay, all around his face. He said to a young man who was reading one of the cheap paper editions so popular nowadays, "Why will you read Buch trash? Now, what is the name of that book The young man replied, "If you were younger I would say that it is none of your business. It is Froude's 'Cresar.'"
