A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

SECOND EDITION. Town Talk.

"you PATS YOUR HO?TWY,rt ETC. In theeedays of reformation much la to be beard of the oppression of capital upon labor the wrongs of the working man, and that capital has no rights which labor in bound to respect. A short time ago the labor question sprang into existence in this city an organization which dabbed Itself the Amalgamated Labor Union. Its profoassd object was the protection of the laboring man, but since its organization it has extendedits field of usefulness (?). As it increased in self-importance it concluded to regulate the business of the town. As an institution of pure and adulterated cboek it stands without an equal in the annals of history, and as such T. T. can heartily commend it to the people. It has done well for itself since its organization, and its founder has succeeded in starting a paper to encourage it. Of course the organization will sustain him in hi* venture. At first the order (teemed to interest the members very much. Its meetings were well attended, and tho inflammatory speeches were cheered te the echo. The rate of interest was denounced by men who would pay any demand for the use of a few dollars for a few days. Moderate speeches were not in demand, and would not be listened to. Next to tho speech making came action. The Union would patronize no one who refused to accede to their demands and dictation. They would purchase no cigars in a store which sold other ihan union goods. They would patronize no business house which advertised in, or Mubscrihed for, a newspaper which they had tabooed. For a timo many of thorn made it a business to go from place to place, order goods and then refuso to take them unless the proprietor would tftko out his advertisement and stop his subscription to the paper. 2u nil oases this failed.

As the Fourth approached this celebrated union concluded it would tako tho matter out of the hands of the dtizeus. attond to it themselves, and make tho oaglo

citizens wore importuned for funds, the union being doticlont in that respect, and several hundred dollars were subscribed. Tho affair wan advortlsed, and great promlsos were mado to draw people from a distance. Saturday brought tho news of the President's assassination, and on Sunday no hopes of hi* recovery wero held ont. Tho union was despondent. Afraid thoy could not celebrate tlioy knew not what to do. The citizens had subscribed sufficient to pay the expense*, but moro was wanted. One very intelligent momher was heard to declare that ho was sorry tho Mayor had not issued a proclamation commanding a celebration, as thoy could then sue the city for damagos. They did celebrato, hovrover. Tho fair grounds were crowded—at ton rents per head for the men. The amphitheotro was crowded—at ten cents pav head. Beer and other refreshment* wore to be had in abundance— after the venders had paid for tho right to sell. Hut a vory small portion of the programme was carried out. Ouly about two scrub races. When the time for the bicycle race arrived two young gentlemen came forward and offered their money. Both are good riders, and one of them had gone to the expense of over a hundred dollars for a machine for tho occasion. Their mouey was refused and they were coolly informed that they could not enter unless they could find mix others to accompany them. The union bad calculated well, as the dty oould only furnish five now all told. The six could not be found, and the race did not come off. When it was advertised there was no stipulation that there should be any (Infinite number of entries, and the young gentlemen who presented themselves were entitled to the premium*. It was a 6lsar case of fraud all through, and the institution is heartily condemned by everybody outaide its own charmed circle. They bad no right to appropriate mouey subscribed for a specific purpose to their own use. The citizen who subscribed money, and thacitiasn who paid his ten centa at the gate, did so with the understanding that the programme was to be carried out and the premiums paid, and not with the understanding that it was to go into a contingent fund of the Union, to benefit it or carry on strikes. The celebration was not a private affair. was something in which the public were intawwted in more ways than one. They ba«e aright to kaow what din position waa made of their subacriptioa, and it la totbittf more than fair that a statement of the receipts ami expenditures be made public. This is what should be done, but T, T. predict* that it never will be done. The people, however, have learned a lewon which will not soon be forgotten, and hereafter they will manage the celebration of their national holiday in their own way, and not fkrm it

ont to a parcel of men who take sninterest in it merely for what they can fnake out of it.

AX rwciiB5T.

Among the visitors to the city lsst Monday waa a young gent from a town in one of the adjoining Illinois counties. He had plenty of money, came over to have a high old time, and was determined to have it, regardless of expense or consequences. He made the scquainof a young lady at the bote) duripg the afternoon, but tbey parted company before supper. Later in the evening he was sufficiently bowled up for adventure and started out to make the rounds of the hostelry. He hadn't proceeded ftr nntil be attracted the attention of a colored porter. The porter wanted to know what be was prowling around for, and received a short answer. A wordy war ensued and the young man in search of adventure was sent to grass, and dragged out. In vain be protested. No one would listen to him. He was taken for a marauder, and he oould not talk them out of it. Finally an acquaintance came to his rescue, and after the usual explanation the young man was released and went his way much wiser than when he came, swearing that be would no more travel uncertain paths when be visits the Prairie City.

DISSIPATION.

For sometime past T. T. has noticeed that there is altogether too much conviviality going on in the city for the goodfof those who indulge in it. Night after night the saloons are crowded with young men who have work before them in the morning, and who are making fools of themselves and catting short what might be useful lives if directed in the right direction. Thoy are not what might be called worthless young men. Many of thom are of good families, and would be heartily ashamed to have their folks see them in their too frequent orgies. Others are young men who have no homes—some of them perhaps know nothing of home comforts, and to them the downward path is easy. All of them are. what might be called good follows. They would hart no one, and mean no harm by their frolics. Tbey are their own greatest enemies. They are bent on fun and *1 ways llcem to have it. Night after night finds them at their posts in the various barrooms. They are liberal to a fault, and their liberality is taken advantage of by a class of bummers who stick to them like leeches, never spending a cent and never missing a drink, and they are always the last to retire from the scone of action—aud then very reluctantly. These young men seem to have no thought of tho morrow. With them it is a short life, and merry ?ne. The future has no cares for them. No one is depending on their exertions. They want but a short time here below, but they are determined to have all the fun they can crowd into a short space of time.

THK NOW York fashion papers say that Sunday has come to bo the great visiting day of that city that the ladies have an informal day there, inviting in their gentlemen friends, and making it a weekly holiday. Many of them now make it a point to be "at home"

VoK 12.—No. 2. TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 9,1881.

Sunday

afternoons, and there hold regular informal receptions. It is also a day for family visiting and dinners. The one evening during tho week when young men may call without the formal dress suit Is fully taken advantage of, and the parlor Is filled with an unconventia and social group. The business men take to this day of visiting the easiest, as it is the only day in the week when they are free and can give up to social enjoyment. Some very fashionable people, who always go to an extreme in the simplest Innovation upon customs or styles, have gone so far as to give formal dinner parties snd musicales on Sunday evenings, but it is not generally considered "good form," and is frowned down upoa by those of quieter taste.

OUR beer-drinking, over-eating people have a bint worthy of thought from Dr. Reyburn, one of the President's physicians. He says: "The President has Strang constitution aud a solid frame, with no extra flesh and no bad habits, all of which are telling in his favor. He was never a great eater, and bis flesh is genuine and healthy. I am told that during the war, when Federal and Confederate prisoners were receiving about the same treatment, and were equally wounded, more Confederates survived than Unionists, because, the physicians said, they had less to eat"

Susan Perkins' Letter.

DSAB JOSHPHIJCB—I was sorry yoe could not oome over for the Fourth but* under the circumstances, I did not wonder at your deciding to stay home, as sueb programme as the on# you sent me would afford ranch pleasurf in tbecarrying out. I shall be anxioufl for your next letter, that I may knosf of that moonlight ride home with only two in the buggy. Did anything oomt of it, Josephine? Did the tender hash of the moonlighted air, the suggestive cooing of the loving doves, the nearness of the object of his affections, snd the feeling that you two were a little world apart from all else inspire him with a desire to tell you that old, old story toB so often by the light of the much-eeeipg but (fortunately) little-telling Queen of Night?

That is to say, my dear, if we were now sitting together, in the moonlight, in your room, with our crlmpe done up for the night, our laps full of hair-pins, combs and brushes, as they used to be in our times of confidences, Jwould you have a secret to tell me? If so pour it out to me at onoe with perfect truat, for you know of old ray ability to keep a secret, and whose would be safer with me than yours, my dearest friend Are you engaged How did he pop? When is it to be? Tell me everything, do, for I am perfectly dying to know.

I went, as I-told you I expected to go, to Greencastle for the Fourth, and bag a delightful time. I met some very pleasant people, and heard much from certain young ladies over there about till "college boys." One of them asked me if I knew "Young Mr. Mikels, of Terrs Haute, who looks so perfectly swell ia his uniform," and another said lbs "Thought it was just too mean that Mr* Oreea didn't get the prize in the contest, ss he did just as well as the one who got it, and is awfully nice, Miss Perkins" (this last with the prettiest of smiles and blushes). Both of these young gentlemen being ministers' sons, I wss surprised (familiar as I am with the tradition that sous of the cloth neverdo well) to hear such good reports of them as did—not only from these young ladies, who might be considered partial, but from others.

A Terre Hints boy l^duatfidi lUja year, at the College but as his name is the not uncommon one of Smith, failed to identify him, as I think neither Horace nor Nicholas graduated—this year.

Greencastle is rsther a pretty plaoe, the streets choosing to go up hill snd down dale with pleasant irregularity but it was very hot and very dusty on Monday, and my principal remembrance of it is that I ruined my new white dress by catching it on a loose board in the sidewalk and tearing a yard and a half of ruffling off of it.

I learn, since my return, thatlhe Day of Independence was passed very well by some snd very badly by others. Two "tony" private picoldt, to whioh only those of the inner %61e gained admission, and about whi& there seems to have been much disappointment and heart burning, made the day lively for the fortunate few who were honored with invitations, while the rest of the Terre Haute world was at liberty to enjoy themselves at the Fair Grounds, or at home, or in any way they conld.

A friend of mine who rode throughl

the Fair Grounds told me that in all the

crowd there he saw but two people whom he knew, and that of all thenoisy crowds he has ever seen this surely takes the ribbon.

The day gave its usual quota of accidents from fire crackers snd pistols, and the usual fool who "thought it wasn't loaded" was not wanting in a young man who shot young woman in the arm with a pistol which hs supposed to be unlosded, inflicting a very paiaful and, it may be, dangerous bullet wound.

Another accident is also reported, but itdid noteccur on the Fourth A certain young lady of the north end, fired with a desire to become aa success* ful bicyclist as is her brother, was improving the cool hours of early evening a abort time ago, in the supposed to be, private recesses of the family bade yard, in trying to ride the machine—I regret to say, man-fashion.

Her success was somewhat wonderful, aa she soon found herself able to go along, holding to the fenee, quite easily and, encouraged by this, she was just attempting the hazardous feat of croaaiqg the yard when her eyea fell upon a modern, "Peeping Tom of Coventry just outside the fence! In trying to bring beraslf about with a view to alighting and flying from his gase, she took a header into the wood-pile, and badly acrstched her face and hands.

I hope she will forgive this account of ber mishap when she is assured of my hearty sympathy both in her misfortune and in her love for bicycle riding. I, myself, when I see young Mr. Baur wbeeling about so gracefully and Charlie Peddle looking so happily, well aware of hia having conquered all the difficulties of the art, want to ride a bicycle, too, and only wish I. could.

The Saa Francisco papers report the arrest and sentence of a woman in California who answers to the description of the notorious Kate Bender. She married a man named Dwenger, persuaded his son to kill him, then attempted to poison the son. She was sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for Mh years. ,,

An Eastern exchange says: "Twenty years ago a girl baby, elegantly dressed? was deserted by its mother, who left it in a Connecticut depot.

She is this weeks sweet girl graduate at a well known seminary, where ebe has won high honors."

Stout women make a vast mistake in trying to be thin. For every ten pounds lost, ten years are added to their looks. The waist may become a trifle more slender, but the loosened flesh and wrinkled skin tell a tale.

A train dispatcher in Baltimore the other day, just as be had given the signal, discovered a woman rushing frantically down the street, dragging a little girl by the arm.

Miss Ida Ivison, a school teacher of Wheeling, has fallen heir to an estate in Scotland valued at 13,600,000. She is said to be a most worthy young lady. Two years ago two strangers offered Mr. Ivison, Ida's father, 95,000 to sign a paper, the contents of which he wss not to know. It aroused his suspicions, and he went to Scotland, found his brother had died, and two relataves were attempting to prove themselves the only living heirs. He was declared the rightful heir aud the conspirators sent into Imprisonment for thirteen years. Seon after his return to the United States Mr. Ivison died, ffad his daughter inherits the estate and has left for Scotland.

As to walking arm in arm on the street "Zulano," a writer in the San Francisco Argonaut, says In the city the custom is very unusual. In fact, in San Franciscan eyes, it gives a somewhat provincial air to a couple. Yet the other day I noticed on the street three couples thus linked. The first was evidently an honest granger and hia wife. The second, two members of a variety troupe recently arrived from the East, and— shocking to say—the man was smoking. Smile indulgently, O reader so did I. But the third—and the third. Well, the gentleman waa a foreigner of rank and wealth: the lady, too, waa of good family both were of Pariaian birth and breeding. On the whole, perhaps we had better not smile at the granger.

A BABT up in Toronto, left by itself in a perambulator while asleep, fell out in such away that a strap suspended it by the neck, and it was dead when discovered. A Sacramento's baby's bands were tied to prevent it from scratching its head, which was a fleeted with salt rheum, and while thus bound it fell with its face in a basin of water, which drowned it. Much more horrible was the fate of the Philadelphia baby, who was left to sleep in a room infested by rats. The mother was careful to spread a netting over the little one as a protection against flies, but was not mindful of the ravenous vermin. When she returned, the infant had ceased to struggle against the rats, its face was gnawed away, and death ensued immediately.,.

A WBSTBBN paper seems to think there are fashions in women as well ss clothes. It says: "There are thirty thousand unmarried women in Massachusetts. Why are these women unmarried? It is because they are of a pattern which has of late years gone out of fashion. A couple of years ago there was introduced there the plump English style of girl. The latter soon became enormously popular, and the bony and spectacled maidens of Massachusetts became a drug in the market. It was still generally conceded that the Massachusetts girl knew more about Emerson's philosophy and Alcott's Orphic utterances than did her plumper rival, but the merits of the former were no longer able to awaken any enthusiasm. The Boston poetical yojxng mai*ao longer wpste soianets expressing the emotions ef his heart on* hearing the bones of his beloved rattle as she ran to greet him at the gate, and the Boston youth of fashion no longer proposed at public dinners the once familiar toast, "Beauty and Bones," in honor of the spare sex. In fact, spare and angular girls went entirely out of fashion, snd Massachusetts men went outside the boundaries of TStm England when they sought for wives."

THE THOROUGHBRED LOAFER, Ind. Herald. One lesson to be drawn from the life of Guiteau, the assassin, is the importance of learning to do something in other words, the importance and dignity of labor. Guiteau was a thoroughbred loafer. As a boy, he was permitted to have his own wsy, to idle snd dawdle as a youth, he was allowed to choose his own course and drop it when he wanted to. He never learned to work, and grew to manhood without any acquaintance with honest labor of any kind, and with no other idea of life than to live by bis wits. Naturally enough, after this sort of training, he became a sharper and a scoundrel, snd finally a criminal. There are thoussnds of boys growing up in the same way in this country to-day. The best safeguard of American youth would be a law requiring every young man to learn some trade or occupation. Idleness begets crime, while industry and virtue are natural allies.

"De your customers embrace many ladies?" asked Globe-Democrat reporter, addressing the artificial limb man. "Well, sir, I make about 200 of these limbs every year, and you'd be astonished to know how many of them are for female ass. Ladies are much more difficult to please than gentleman, but I am happy to ssy that out of—say fifty—that I've suited, you wouldn't be able to tell ten bv their walk.

Owing to littls seddent which occurred st large ball, about a month ago, and which damaged the elaborate mechanism of the aham limb, its possessors happened to be in need of my services, and I can tell you I was never so astonished in my life as when that pretty, dainty stepping creature told me what she wanted."

CLARA BELLE

TALKS ABOUT VKNU8ES, ADVERTISING «igi.T.Rft AND IMMODEST DRESS ON THE STAGE.

The Venus of Milo is commonly regarded, in theory, as the perfection of shapeliness in woman. Practically, if you were to put her into clothes and start her off in Broadway, she would attract attention by her ungainless, and not by her beauty. She will do well enougn in statuary, but had better not get down from her pedestal, for she would surely be guyea if she attempted to pass as a fashionable woman. She would be compelled to'wear a thirty-two inch corset ana number nine shoes, and would absolutely *have no style about her. We go in for curved lines more than the Greeks did, and for greater delicacy. There is no use in sayiug that they were right and we are wrong, because that will not altor the matter. Centuries of tight-lacing has molded the civilised female form Into its present hour-glass proportions, and it is enough that the men of the period like it so. Those who want Yen usee lirnst go out among the Indian squaws for them. The real Venus shape isn't appreciated in refined society. I know one girl who has it, and also suffers terribly from the sesthetic mania. She dresses at home in white gowns thst are much like Grecian drapery, and is fond of posing in statuesque attitudes. When you call on her, she has yeu sent to her room, and there she springs herself on yonr vision effectively, not through a noisy door, but by pushing aaide a portiere, which is a door curtain.

A novel feature of the season at Saratoga and Long Branch will be an advertising belle at each of these places. Two handsome girls of good form and toplofty style have been hired for the purpose. They will be fashionably dressed, but their mission is not to display dry goods. A dealer in hair, hair-dies, washes for the complexion and toilet articles of a beautifying sort employs them, and will pay their expenses. They will serve as models on which to exhibit the latest achievements in false hair and hair-dressing. Their faces will be carefully "made up" with such preparations as he manufactures. The plan is a bold one, but entirely feasible. The hotel balls at Long Branch and Saratoga are open to all who come, and these two professional beauties are personally respectable, know how to dance araoofully, can talk well enough, and will certainly eclipse most of the amateur beauties. They will stay at first-class hotels, lounge on the most thronged balconies, go to the horse races, and, in short, make themselves decently conspiciousln every possible way. There is a swindle in the matter, however and I will tell you how. These two girls arc beautiful when unadorned, and the "make-up" of their laces with washes nM pigments is not st alLneeded nor js any particular "kind of braid, frisrie or switch ro-

Both girls sre tall, slender, delicately-moulded blondes, with the air of Duchesses, and they come from east of Avenue A.

After all, it is frills snd such thst lend a charm to femininity, and few women are beautiful enough in themselves to discard them In safety. They soften hard features and sharp points. Haven't you ever noticed that the nakedest burlesquer on the stage clings to the lace about her neck and the ribbons on ber trunks? I was talking, by the way, to an actress sn this subject of Immodest dress on the stage. "It is shameless," she said warmly. "I should think myself worthy of every honest woman's scorn if I appeared on the stage dressed less fully than for my own parlor. All the excuses for that kind of thing are no more than apologies—not defenses. I tell yon that any woman who will show her legs to the thighs as I saw them last evening (she was referring to a performance of Olivette) is lost to all sense of decency. But here is another point. What must the fathers and husbands of those actresses be thinking of to let them thus expose themselves? Faugh! It is disgusting. Why, I was at a dramatic agency on business tbe other day, and a burlesqus msnsger was tslklng with an actress whom he thought of engaging.
