Hebb Brothers are fast making a big trade at their new and elegant grocery store, on the corner of Walnut and Fourth streets, which is filled with fresh and choice table supplies.

The name of the writer must invari ably acoompany personal or other-items sent us through the post office. An observance of this rule is neccessary to guard against the admission into these oolumns of improper names or mention of an improper character.

It been said before in these columns, but will bear repeating for the good of the community, that R. Koster A Son, north Fourth street, will net be undersold in furniture, and they have a large stock to select from.

Every farmer who comes to this town is cordially invited to call on C. C. Fis beck, 212 Main street, and learn what bargains he is offering in well-made harness of every description.

Gentleman, bear in mind that it is only until the first of March that J. Brennan offers the big reductions noted last week.

They are bona fide bargains Mr. Brennan prefers to close them out in this way to carrying them over to an other season.

No town in the West is so well sup plied with first-class grocery stores as this city. That of Richard Dahlen's, No 11 south Fourth street, though not the largest, is one of the most popular. Call there for table supplies of every description, poultry, oabbage, lettuce, parsnips lemons, oranges, bananas, canned fruits and vegetables, beans, pea9, fresh fish mess mackerel, codfish, jellies, jams dried corn, carrots, turnips, kraut, lobsters, canned fish, shrimps, mushrooms, Ac., all at rock-bottom prioes.

OTHER PEOPLE.

Tildon's income is f150,000 a year. Mr. Bonanza Mackey has bought for his wife the largest pearl in the world— evidently "a pearl of great price."

It is stated that Thomas Nest is about to retire from business with the Harpers, having made enough money to support himself in comfort.

Hiram Sibley, one of the wealthiest men in Rochester, N. Y., is proprietor of a 40,000 acre farm in Illinois, which is said to be the largest cultivated farm in the world 3,000 acres of it were last year devoted to seed-raising.

William Smitbaon, living on a farm near Indianapolis, bid $345 in currency in a corncrib. Rats chewed it into fragments suitable for a nest, and the hornyhanded husbandman will appeal for relief to the Treasury Department.

E, H. Tracy, a prominent citizen and manufacturer of Yalesville, Conn., dropped dead from apoplexy on Monday afternoon. He is one of four brothers, all of whom have died from apoplexy within three years, and each occurred in February. "Gail Hamilton" is described in the editorial correspondence of the Argonaut as "prodding" Oscar Wilde, when he was presented to her, with the direct inquiry, "How long is this jokete last?" Its directness staggered Mr. Wilde, and, after a stare of blank amasenent, he replied with an interrogatory in every letter J-o-k-e? II ia my Kite."

Mr. Watklns, of Oarondelet, Mo., is a teetotaler, and lives up to his principles. He would not buy a keg of beer for his acquaintances on his wedding day, though required to do so by usage of the town, and in spite of a positive demand by the thirsty crowd. They dragged him to a high bridge, and dropped him into the cold water. This caused a postponement of the marriage, but did not produce the beer. The least the prohibitionists can do ia to offer him atestimonial for the good example set to the weaker-knsed)brethren by his stem and lofty virtue.

A woman in New York has been sent to jail for six months because she waa found dreased like a man. She had worn masculine attire for several years, during which she had served as a hotel waiter, as grocery clerk, and collector without detection. Her only defease was that she could secure better places and wages as a man than as a woman. The Police Judge—that noble conservator of public purity—never heard so absurd a plea. He considered her a dangerous woman, and sentenced her accordingly. ___________

Most of us know something about the discipline, of poverty and feel quite ready to experience some of the awful responsibilities of wealth.

THE BETTER WORLD.

CHURCHES, PASTOR AND PEOPLE

If at the end of the sermon to-morrow you will say to yourself, "All that the minister has said I will do," you will soon discover that it is a great deal easier to be a minister and say things than to be a laymen and do them.

The Methodist ministers of Philadelphia having united in denouncing the Mormon infamy, a local paper moved to remark that there is a wide field within the city limits for missionary work against just that form of vice.

The Rev. E. D. Towle, in hia farewell sermon to a Methodist congregation in New Bedford, Mass., made an assault on orthodoxy. One of his points waa that according to sound Methodist belief, Garfield had gone to hell because he did not believe in tbeTrinity, while Guiteau would go to Heaven if he repented of his crime.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

Gratifying religious awakenings have been in progress at Centenary and the Presbyterian churches.

Rev. G. H. Elgin of Indiabapolis will preach at the first Baptist church to morrow.

On' Sunday nights during L^nt the Pastor «f St. Stephens church will give course of lectures on Church History. Services commence at 7:30#o'clock.

The Rev. Dr. Talmage says that every infidel cafries a harpoon for the whale that swallowed Jonah.

The Rev. Mr. Shepard has been arrested for knocking down a choir-boy of St, Clement'a Episcopal Church, in Phila delphia, and pummeling him with his fist.

New York clergymen are complain ing because there are so few weddings this season, thus cutting off their perquisites. The young women do not say much, but the clergymen have their deepest sympathy.

large

Br. Eaton, of Louisville, in

plain sermon on social inequalities, said that during his residence of a year in that city he had "seen a poor man with no influential friends, given five years in the penitentiary for stealing provisions, whilea murderer, with powerful connections, was given two years, and 'leading citizens' have signed a petition for his pardon."

Plymouth Congregational Church, of Chicago, called upon their pastor, Rev Charles H. Everest, and presented him with a valuable gold watch, and gave a set of diamond jewelry to Mrs. Everest, a pair of bracelets to their daughter, and a gold ring to their son. They appear to have overlooked the domestic, who might at least have been remembered with a gold thimble.

Rev. George C. Miln, who is making a sensation by hid apostasy in Chicago, is* a fluffy and fluent Englishman who came from London, with credentials to Mr. Beecher, some years ago. He got into a much-mortgaged suburban Con gregational church in Brooklyn, and split it with eminent success on the scarcely theological question of his views on the moral character of Mr. Beecher,

The Rftv. Simeon Parmele, who died at Oswego,'N. Y.,, recently, was 106 years and twenty-four days old. Dr. Parmel? voted at twenty Presidential elections preached over 10,000 sermons, and never received more than |350 a year salary His wife, who survives him, is ninetyone, his eldest daughter ia seventy-two, and his eldest son sixty-eight. His daughter lives at Minneapolis, and his son built tbe first house in Des Moines, Iowa.

And now another Catholic priest has followed the example of Pere Hyacintbe, and taken unto himself a wife. Rev. Father Edward Agudi, assistant priest at St. Joseph's Church, in Winsted, Conn., is the name of the clerical gentle man who has forsaken the priestly office for the charms of a domestic fireside. He was married the other day to the daughter of Patrick Walsh, of Winsted Tbe affair has created much talk in that vicinity.

Dr. Newman, of the Madison Avenue church of New York, has taken a new departure in the matter of making pastoral calls. He proposes to make his visits In the evenings, in order that he may find the men of his congregation at home. The New York Poet, commenting on this, wonders why pastors who complain of not being acquainted with the male members of their flocks should not have thought of this simple remedy sooner. This causes tbe Indianapolis Journal to remark that the Post is childlike in its innocence.

In Pittsburgh laat week, a diitirlbsed family wan visited by a Christian lady well known for her good works. The family consists of a widowed mother and two half-starved Children. The mother waa walking up and down the comfortless room in order to keep her self warm, and the children were clinging to her faded dress, and trying to keep step with her. The visiting lady kneeled down and prayed with the pov-erty-stricken household, and at tbe conclusion of her prayer handed tbe mother some tracta, with the request that she would read them. She then departed but as she went tbe poor woman said:

What shall we do with these? We cant cook or eat them." Somehow or other this leaked out and came to tbe ears of a neighboring minister, who bad not known how distressed the family waa. He and some of tbe good women of tbe church made a call on the suffering widow. They took no tracts, for of these they justly supposed that tbe widow had all she could use. But they carried a ham and some potatoes, with other necessaries of life, and a money donation

enough to keep things going for a while. Thus the parsimony of the alleged charitable woman indirectly brought relief to the sufferers, although in a way different from anything she had contemplated.

LITTLE SERMONS.

A miser is a man who may be truthfully described as criminally poor. It is possible for a man to be so very shrewd that in the long run he cheats himself, V*

Put a drop ef honey on your tongue before you speak and see how easy it is to make friends.

It is better to be poor and virtuous than rich and dishonest, and yet in a popular vote we know which side would win.

The chief trouble with the age in which we live is that it believes too much in varnish and veneer and too little in solid wood.

If you have a small salary and princely desires, remember the old saw: "Taking out often and never putting in soen comes to the bottom."

Scandal, when it has truth in it, is like a grease spot on new cloth, but when there Ls no truth in it it is like a splash of mud, which will come off easily when dry.

The real fundamental difference between the rich and poor man, is that the rich man can eat all day if he wants to While the poor man is restricted to three tunes a day,

You make a great mistake in thinking that the world will break all in pieces when you leave it. It is barely possible, on the other hand, that you are persistently standing in the way of a better man J|

We have seen persons weep over a tale of sorrow, yet refuse to help to a suffering neighbor such possess sympathy but no charity. There is a great difference between a maudlin sentimentality, and a generous, kindly spirit.

WOMEN WHO SMOKE. A reporter of the New York Star has been interviewing women who smoke. A society lady told the representative of the press that "New York ladies," were taught to smoke in the main by actresses. The ladies of France, Spain and Mexico, have smoked for a century, but they were not accepted as illustrious ex-/ amples. When Jenny Lind came this country, she taught the women of that generation to roll cigarettes. Barnum, if he will only refer to his ledgers of that day, will find tobacco a:

for Jenny Lind among many pense items. Charlotte Cushman was averse to smoking at flrst, but she gradually overcome her objections to the weed, and before the curtain was rung down on her life could smoke a cigar as readily as any person.

Neilson smoked imported cigarettes. Neilson always smoked before retiring, and it is no secret that' Adah Isaac Menken* has smoked as many as twenty dears a day.

The ladles now on the stage who smoke are legion. Emma Abbott smokes Vanity Fair Patti prefers Spanish cheroots Sarah Bernhardt has quite a collection of meerschaum pipes and cigar holders Mary Anderson, Fanny Davenport and Lotta, love mild cigarettes, and Kate Claxton, Aliee Oates, Mme. Janauschok, Minnie Palmer^ and nine out of eveiy ten of the leading womep of "New York theatres are confirmed smokers.

Before Whitelaw Reid waa married, Anna Dickinson and be were wont to pt together and puff fragrant Havanas a manner naif Bohemian, half aesthetic like."

AS FAR AS THE WAX WILL OO. A Western Judge was approached by a Verdant couple who" wanted to get married. The would-be groom asked the price of tying the knot, and was told it was$l. "Can't you take beeswax?" inquired the rustic. "Yes," said tbe 'Squire. The beeswax was brought in, and upon being weighed was found to be worth just sixty cents. "Waal," said tbe anxious groom, "tie the knot, and I'll fetch more wax next week." "No, sir I don't trust that is against tbe rule of this offloe." Slowly tne disappointed youth turned to go out, ying: "Come, Sal, let's go." "I say, miste," asked Sal, with a woman's wit, can't you marry "us as fur as tbe wax will go?" "Yes, I can and will," restbe 'Squire, laughing, and be pone did.

,NOCTURNAL RAMBLE AND WHAT CAME OF IT. Boston Herald. Some genius—we suspect him to belong to the jovial order of humanity— haaaaid: "The day to drone and dream, the night to learn and ramble." We do not propose to dispute this worthy's view of the matter, but present herewith' tbe experience ef a Philadelphia journalist, Mr. William H. Cunnington, 1712 North Twentieth street, one of whose nocturnal rambles be thus refers to, beginning his narration rather peculiarly, tiowever: "1 am not a rheumatic, and have been troubled very little with bodily pains. Last Tuesday morning I experienced a very annoying stiffness of tbe neck, which grew worse as the day wore on. Toward evening it became very severe, and I could scarcely turn my head in any direction. Arriving home at tea time, it was with difficulty that I oould eat my meal. My wife wanted to rub my neck with St. Jacobs Oil, but I refused, saying I thought tbe affliction would soon pass away. Tea over, against the remonstrances of my family, I left home to ramble toward tbe new Chestnut street Opera House, about two and a-half tniles from my residence. I started in tbe midst of a heavy snow storm, and remained at tbe theatre until the close of tbe performance, although I

lay

rhe storm continued the car in which I became blocked in nearly every square, a cold current of air swept through tbe car, and I did not reach my home until toward 2. a. m., by which time my neck bad become absolutely rigid. Then I consented to tbe use of St. Jacobs Oil, which my wife applied

three times before I arose. 1 con­

tinued its use that day and by evening I was free from pain, and tbe next morning I amused myself by twisting my neck in any direction that suited me, and not a vestige of stiffness remained.0

Sam man uv science has put into print that the airth'd be heated more'n a hundred an' ninety thonsan' degrees by bein' sudden tly stepped—that is, 'at "it would at once become more'n sixty times as hot as melted iron." It makes me trimble to think of it. An' I say, 'at any man or woman, knowin' these facks, 'at would attempt to stop the airth, ought 'o be severely dealt with.

But then I don't murh b'lieve anybody could stOp it. It's like Rippetoe A Miller's groe'ry store (wich the same is the "White Frunt.") Hit's got sech a start, aech a boom, 'at nuthin' human kin check it. Ye see at that store ye kin git anything in tbe world ye want in tne eatin' line. An' then they're so neat an' clean, 'at it's a pleasure to trade with 'em. Ye can't stop sech a store as that. In their kollecksnun to-day is New Lettuce and Green Onions, Turkeys, Chickens, Oysters, Corn Beef, Pig's Feet, Mince Meat, Chow
