Mr. J. Button takes pardonable pride in tho ••trim" of his windows. Beautiful goods aro there tastefully arranged. Button's new ladies satchels are daises. So says the Gaxette.

Drop in and behold the beauties.

An old bachelor leaving his boarding bouse for a week's journey, after taking leave of his landlady, stepped up to a aalt mackerel on the table, shook him by the tall, and said: "flood by,old fellow, 1 will see you when I return." Speaking of boarding houses, reminds us that

The enterprising dealers on Fourth street, R. Foster A Son, made a good showing ot furniture at the Fair. The Folding Bedstead attracted much attention. It's a mighty convenient piece of furniture.

Mrs. Mary Roach has returned from her eastern trip, where she selected a large and elegant line of choice millinery goods, which can be seen in McKeen block.

Peter Miller, 505 Main street is selling Heavy Draught Harness at very low prices Duck Collars for fifty cents Kip Team Collars for $1.50 to $2.00, and has a splendid lot of homemade Saddles.

C. C. Fisbeck, 212 Main street, asks an examination of his new styles of heavy draught harness, superior to anything yet produced. Chain harness at low prices, and a nice lot of mens and boys' saddles. "Man's but a vapor

Full of woes, Cuts a caper Aud down he goes."

But while he is on this earth ho will find it to his advantage to buy his groceries and table supplies at Peter J. Kaufman's immense grocery house. Everybody knows where it is—corner of Main and Seventh streets, and you will always find there at the most reasonable prices, the best that comes to town.

It UL ES FOR LO VE-M 4 KINQ.

First catch your lover. Hold him when you have him. Don't let go of him to catch every new one who comes along.

Try to get pretty well acquainted with him, before you take him for life. Unless you intend to support him, find out whether ho earns enough to support you.

Don't make up your mind he is an angel. Don't palm yourself oft'on bim as one, either.

Don't let him spend his salary on you that right should be reserved till after marriage.

If you have conscientious scruples against marrying a man with a mother, say so in time, that he may either get rid of her to oblige you, or got rid of you to obligo her, as he thinks best.

If you object to secret societies and tobacco, it is better to come out with your objections now, than reserve them for curtain lectures hereafter.

If your adorer happens to fancy a certain shade of hair, don't color or bleach to oblige him. Remember your hair belougs to you, and ho doesn't.

Be very sure it is a man you aro in love with, and not with the clothes he wears. Fortune and fashion are both so fickle, it is foolish to take a stylish suit for better or worse.

If you intend to keep three servants aftor marriage, settle the matter beforehand. The man who is making love to you may expect you to do your own washing.

Don't try to hurry up a proposal by carrying on a flirtation with some other fellow. Different men are made of different material, and the one you want might go oil in a fit of jealousy and forget to come back.

If you havo a love-letter to write, dou't copy it out of a "Letter Writer." If your young mart ever happened to consult the same book, he would know your sentiments were borrowed.

Don't marry a mau to oblige any third person in existence. It is your light to suit yourself in the matter. But, remember at the same time love is blind, and a little friendly advice from one whose ad vice is worth having may ensure you a life-time of happiness or prevent one of misery.

In love affairs always keep your eyes wide open, so that, when the right man comes along you may see him.

When you do see him you will recognixe him and the recognition will be mutual.

If you have no fault to find with him personally, financially, conscientiously, socially, morally, politically, religiousor any other way, he is probably perfect enough to suit you, and you can afford to—

Believe in him Hope in him Love him Marry him!

THK accommodations at the fair grounds are not such as to invite dealers of musical instruments, but J. A. Marshall, with his usual enterprise, could not let the opportunity slip to show his popular Palace Organs, and invite people to come to his musical house, on Main street, just west of Fourth, to see his large and excellent stock of musical merchandise of every description.

BUY YOUR BOOTS OF liOLAXD. N. Boland has been selling shoes in Terre Haute for fifteen years and there are scores of people who have never bought of anybody ebe during that time. He now has on hand a large stock of men's fine ahxss of tbe best makes and latest styles, together with a general stock from the stoutest stogy to tbe finest lady's slipper. Buy your boots there and your feet will be dry.

New York Letter.

A Terre Hautean in Gotham.

Shall we go to Brighton Beach We will go on Saturday night and avoid the company of tbe hundred thousand sinners who will go on the morrow. It is an easy trip, thi* visit to the sea-shore. A short walk down Broadway, where tbe pavements shiue as light as day under the brilliant electric lamps of the stores, restamants and hotels, and along Twenty-third street, past the broad, brilliant windows of the Hoffman House saloon, catching a glimpse of Stokes' Bougereau picture as we pass. Just on the other side of the way is the substantial stone edifice which, some years ago was the scene of the celebrated murder, and is now an Adams' Express office. A cross-city car lands us at the wharf of the Iron Pier boat, which for a quarter carries-one fourteen miles down the river, Narrows and Bay. We pass the docks.where lie the swift Alaskaand immense Oitv of Rome. I went through both the other day. Seeing the Rome close under tbe great warehouse on the pier, it does not seem that it could nearly fill the double square between Sixth and Seventh streets. But on *valking through its passages with its hundreds of cozy cabins opening from short aisles running anross the snip, the 290 feet of length become apparent. The spacious dining saloon, with numerous tables surrounded by revolving arm chairs,and luxurious saloons for ladies and gentlemen would fill an ordinary ship. But the City of Rome is a comparative failure, and has tsan transferred from the Inman to the Anchor line. The last trip (lasting a little over eight daj's) it came into port with a set of officers for each line, and goes out next time flying the Anchor flag. It's rival, tne Alaska, eame in after seven days and two hours' passage, with stormy weather. It is sixty feet shorter but ever so much fleeter, and smoother sailer.

The iron pier boat flies pant the city lights, and the innumerable colored lights on passing vessels. The circle of electric lights on the mast in Union square can be seen above the city and the lofty composing room in the Tribune building shines brightly above the mass of buildings around it. Some time after tho city bas disappeared and the lights of {Staten Island have come and gone, another electric light on the 300 feet observatory on Coney Island appears and then a longcurving sweep of light along the beach, and the stickiness of your hands shows the presence of salt air. The lights and (lags, single or in groups, are innumerable and the preparations lor receiving and entertaining a daily multitude of pleasure seeksere are on a large scale. Tho eaao and cheapness with which we get therewith subsequent developments illustrated the proverb, /acilis dcxccnsits avcrni (or in other words, broad is the road to the Poorhouse.) The broad and long verandas of the Brighton House are filled with a multitude who sit at their tables to eat and drink, with the seia breaking on the beach jtist before them. A splendid band pluys through tho evening, and bustling waiters,numerouspromeuaders the brilliant lights, and the chatter and merriment of the many groups unite to make an animated scene that can be found at numerous hotels along the beach. As for dinner or supper, tho facilities are large and the cusine fine for Bresllu is the landlord. A hasty inspection of tbe carte reveals tbe gratifying fact that a square meal will vary from $1. to 910. (according to the square ness.) You are not obliged to order an extra filet Chateaubriand at $2.60, nor a broiled Spring chicken for 51.60, nor woodcock at fl.SO, but still must wonder whv plain veal cutlet is 50cts aud a plain porter-house steak is $1.40. But a man with a quarter in his pocket could command ol'vos at fifteen cents and dry toast at ten »'onts—how does that strike you as a meal However this is exceptional and one can dine well and fastidiously for a reasonable sum. A Herald reporter went through a day here with a day's salary (oue dollar) and had beer, a dinner half a bottle of wine, his fare and a nickel left by nighttime. Oysters and the New York Herald are issued here every day in the year.

Sunday mornihg open9 with active preparation for the coming rush upon this favorite resort for all sorts of people. This little island, oncc a sand bank, is fair as a garden, for in front of the b«vtels are grassy lawns with gay flower beds, crimson with coleus, and shaded by the dut^y-miller.

All thoatractions that surround Barman's great show are seen. Bunnell's Museum hangs out the accurate representations of the fat woman and living skeleton. A doorkeeper i|iforms me that "in five minutes Cool Burgess will oppear on the stage."

A merry-go-round, with prancing ponies and figures of Jumbo, swings its circle. In a glass-enclosed pavillion, a Jacquard loom is weaving silk handkerchiels numerous stands offer various things for sale, and under its pagoda the figure of a cow that is never dry waits for the consumers of milk. You can test your lungs, try your strength or weight, can go up in fcn elevator to the top of the observatory, or hire a bathing suit and amuse yourself and the crowd.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

It is a charming day, and a delightful breeze blows in from tbe ocean. A broad, flowered wal* between the hotels and the beach is filling up with visitors who are coming in rapidly by boat and rail, and on tue beach are happy little children with little pails and shovel# digging in the sand. As we walk along tbe shore, the scene Isenrhaniing to unaccustomed eyes. These* is beantilully blue, and leaps and sparkles iu ihe sun. The bathers luxuriate in the Waves that roll in. white-capped, in qnick suew*sion. Vessels unAer full sail, and outgoing and incoming steamers are always in view. Iu Ions Hue, ck*c along the beach are the grewt hotels, very attractive building*,with many towers, turrets and pinnacl-*, with fi*gs at every peak, and gay flower bed* h»*fore ihem. From one hotel to tbe next, thoogit a short distance runs an elevated mil way. From that the Marin» railway, and then still another—all cheap, but titble. In the morning Howard (,'r« -»by preaches at the Manhattan, and in the afternoon great bande in picturesque pavilions before of the hotels to crowds of appreciative visitors.

Late in the dav. the crowd becomes densest, and every porch and dining room is filled with those jdi: Comfortable parties surround .^e covered with dishes and bottles.
