WE ought to have good, sweet and solid pork and lard this winter, for seldom has there been In this vicinity such a crop of hickory, oak and beach mast as this fall. The nuts are .now falling, and hogs that are ruuning loose In the woods will soon be very fat. Farmers say that three weeks'feeding of corn, after the hogs have become fat on mast, will make the meat as hard and firm as if it had been fed on corn exclusively. It is a fact well known to farmers and stock dealers bnt perhaps not so well well l^own to the general public, that mast-fed hogs yield a very rich and sweet fat, the oily quality of the nuts being very rich as well as fattening.

THE series of joint debates between Hon. R. B. F. Peirce and John E. Lamb was commenced at West Lebanon on Monday. One thousand people wore assembled at the fair grounds. If we are to believe the reports on one side, Peirce pierced Lamb but the papers of the other persuation say Lamb lambed Peirce.

The meetings at Veodersburg and Crawfordsville, on Tuesday and Wednesday,were postponed on account of the death of Mr. Peirce's sister-in-law.

The young people have The Mail's best wishes. We iiave no doubt Albert thinks this the most interesting mass he ever attended. Carrie will have no need to "hire a hall" when she wants tolec ture, for she has one for life.

THE wise farmer will sell all the corn he can for immediate delivery, for the grain will shrink from the time it is husked from the field or shock In the autumn, in well-protected cribs, from twenty to thirty per cent, by spring That is, 100 busbeis will shrink to seventy or eighty, according to how dry it was when gathered. Sound corn will shrink twenty per cent., so that forty cents per bushel as it comes from the field is as good as fifty cents in the spring.

THE PASSING SHOW. _____ a PLAYS AND PLAYERS

We've had this week one" or the best and, it is to be hoped, one of the poorest shows of the season. The first was Calender's Minstrels on Tuesday evening: the other was Anthony A Ellis' Uncle Tom's Cabin on Thursday evening. Nevertheless the audience seemed to enjoy the drama of woe, or the woeful drama, and the people laughed and cried by turns as the pathetic or ludicrous ride of the story was presented. Such is taste. Callender's Minstrels bad a good audience and gave the liveliest satisfaction. A prominent feature of this company is the newness and novelty of the acts introduced. The effort of the manager seems to have been directed towards doing away with all the worn out business and giving something fresh and origina\ Reverence is to be commended, save when it finds residence in a minstrel joke or sketch, or some associate subject or substance that spoils with age. It is a notorious fact that trinstrels entertain a feeling of abhorrence of a pun, conundrum or gag that has uot been thoroughly tested. A joke that has set an audience laughing at regular intervals for a number of years, perhaps decades, is considered better than afresh and.untried one. Callender's Minstrels have eut loose from this idea, and hence will have an enthusiastic welcome whenever they may return.

On Monday evening the Opera House stage will be occupied by those charming fun makers, the "Salsbury Troubadours," who will enact Bronson Howard musical novelty entitled "Greenroom Fun." This from the N. Y. Evening Telegram of the 22d of April last:

An exceedingly amusing novelty entitled "Green Room Fun," composed by Mr. Bronson Howard for the Salsbury's Troubadours, was produced by them at at Booth's Theatre last night. The fun was fast and furious. The spectators, of whom there were several hundred in the bouse, were almost convulsed with laughter and were disposed almost to cry "Hold enough!" A description of the extravagant absurdity would be difficult to give in a small compass. There are selections from the most popular musical and farcical compositions now before the public. The arrangement of this piece is very skillful ana the performance of last night was spirited and perfect. In fact the whole entertainment was excruciatingly and bewilderingly funny, and "Green Room Fun" was an instant success. What more ueed be said of it?

On Wednesday evening appear Thatcher, Primrose A West's minstrejj, This is a new organization of old and well known favorites, uuder the management of Geo. T. Clapham, the best manager that Haverly ever had. The company is well spoken of'wherever it has appeared.

On Friday evening M. B. Leavitt and Tony Pastor's united combination will play. The Buffalo Courier says of this expensive enterprise: "The performance last nigbt was on a scale of grandeur never before seon iu this city. The list of popular names on the programme was a guarantee of its excellence but after witnessing the performance, one was inclined to believe that wonders would never cease. The salary list of this company is said to be over one thousand dollars a week, and taking into consideration the great expense of transporting the troupe and properly advertising the company, one must necessarily consider that the receipts must be enormous to make it remunerative, but the packed house, last night, convinced us that the public appreciateand will readily respond to merit and enterprise."

Tho week's entertainment will con elude on Saturday evening with Bartley Campbell's drama of 'jfThe Whiteslave

Barlow A Wilson's minstrels are booked for the 2oth Marion Elmore's dramatic company 28th and Buffalo Bill on the 30tb

George Thatcher will to here nc^ct week with the minstrel company. It is well known by all who take any interest in minstrelsy that George .Wilson, now of Barlow, Wilson tt Co., is an imitator of George Thatcher's funny stuttering. Apropos of this relation of the two minstrels a good story is told. Thatcher was on the end one night, when Wilson was down in front in the audience, and Thatcher knew it. It came to the latter's time to go through with his gags, when be asked the interlocutor to guess how many fingers he had on his hands. The interlocutor guessed seven, eight, nine and ten, to esch of which Thatcher responded "N-n-no, sir!" "How many have you then?" asked the interlocutor. "N-n-nine and a half," said George, holding up his two hands and showing that part of the one finger .was gone. Then turning triumphantly to Wilson, Thatcher waved the mutilated finger at him and shouted: "Theft, you sucker, is something you can't steal."

The proprietor of a Milwaukee theatre advertises "twenty modes of egress" from his show bouse, but does not state what they are. As walking 'out is the only method in common use it would be matter of interest to the public if the proprietor of the Milwaukee theatre would describe the nineteen other modes in use by his patron*.

Charles Wyndbatn, noif manager and chief performer in the leading comedy company of London, is to make a tour In this country next season. In a recent speech be told how be began as an actor In New York, where be had to play the part of a young man who was sent to South America. The next morning he read in a newspaper that it would be a comfort to the public if be would go there in reality. He showed this to Mrs. John Wood, the manageress of the theater, and she said that the suggestion wan good. Be hopes his reappearance will deserve more complimentary criticism.

THE BETTER WORLD.

CHURCHES, PASTOR AND PEOPLE

A pleasant social was held Tuesday evening at the residence of Rev. Samuel Beck, the new pastor of Asbury church.

The Christian, Baptist and Centenary churches have had socials this week. That of the latter church was termed a basket social—neat little baskets with lunch for two be&g put up and sold for twenty-five cents.

Geo. C. Duy, who has moved to Indianapolis, tendered his resignation last Sunday as Senior Warden of St. Stephen's church. For a third of a century he has been an active participant in its church work.

An Interesting and novel affair was a harvest service in the Congregational Sunday School last Sunday afternoon. The room was profusely decorated with fruits, flowers and grain, songs appropriate to the season were sung,, and a pyramid of Joseph Gilbert'^ choice apples and grapes distributed to the young people, who remember the event with much pleasure.

Two Chicago ministers have been dis-1 cussing the moral quality of lying in case of grave emergencies. That's the first time we ever supposed that Chicago men ever bad but one opinion on the subject.

In Mr. Spurgeon's church the regular hearers absent themselves one Sunday evening every three months, and the house is given up to strangers. But in many churches in this country the same thing is done every Sunday evening.

Dr, Talmage says he is willing to make a fool of himself in the pulpit if he can save souls thereby. A profane man who heard him preach lately says that on those conditions his list of church members ought to be the longest in the land.

In Montreal a Congregational minister, when giviug testimony in court, was excused from revealing a confidential conversation between himself and a member of his church, the judge stating that this privilege was allowed by law. If the same law prevailed on this side of the line church members would feel less hesitation about disclosing their awful crimes to their pastors.

Sinners who have been flattering themselves that the theology which admits an extension of time, or, at least, three days of graco, was about to have the sanction of authority, are doomed to disappointment. Proiessor Gulliver, of Andover Theological Seminary, said in a recent sermon that no professor in that institu tion believes in a second probation after death, %ven in hades, before final judgment. He things it probable that departed friends pray for those remaining on earth, but considers as wasted tie time spent in prayers for the dead.

Tboladies of an Illinois church, not great many miles from Terre Haute, recently gaye a floral and festive enter tainmeut, at which they put on considerable more style than the people of the placd had been accustomed to. Among other stylish and unusual things, they introduced finger bowls in connection with the refreshment department. The pastor, who had never before seen finger bowl, was pleased when he saw the vessel placed beside his plate, half full of water, and containing, according to the most approved custom of Eastern people, a slice of lfemon. Without stopping to ask questions, he raised the bowl to his lips and drank the contents, remarking after he had done so that he never had tasted such weak lemonade. Some of the pretty girls who were wit nesses of this extraordinary proceeding commenced to giggle violently, and were unable to restralu themselves. In order to prevent a repetition of the ridiculous exercise, one of the more elderly matrons quietly slipped up to the reverend gentleman and whispered in his ear a confidential communication as to the design and purpose of the finger bowl. The good man blushed deeply when he learned what a blunder be had made, and was profuse in his thanks to the matron who thus made him acquainted with a social custom concerning which be bad been in darkness.

C. W. BROWN'S establishment, on oorner of Fifth and Ohio streets, this dty, has grown to be "oneof the institutions" of the city within few years. It commands patronage from a large section of the Wabash Vslley. To procure sny clan of printing, as well aa the making of sny kind of a Blank Book, no better establishment can be resorted to. Erastus Scott, a very superior workman in the Blank Book Manufactory and Bindery, has charge and anything in that department that Scott can't do in the most substantial, as well as the most artistie manner, no one else need attempt. The printing department is supplied with modern snd improved presses ss well mi the most fanciful snd beautiful type and machinery |anl in addition B. is a practical printer and gives his business close attention at all times, thus insuring accuracy in any work entrusted to his hands. The Mail can therefore confidently recommend the Globe establishment is the favorable consideration of the public if such recommendation were necessary.

A LONG FELT WANT. Riddle Hamilton A Co, have authority to issue policies of insurance covering Horse and Buggy or Carriage whenever the same may be in city or country, in your own stable or somebody else's. The recent fire in Staub's livery stable illustrates the benefit of this arrangement. Several of our citizens had their buggies and carriages in that stable. Of course Mr. Staub's insurance does not cover them, and unless they have this arrangement with Riddle, Hamilton A Co., their own insurance is void.
