EVERY business man should have copy of the new city Directory.

THE women now long for a seal skin sacque that can be worn in the spring time.

It is true that the three first days of March rule the Spring months, what a lovely Spring we will have.

THE branching out of several limbs of the law—young sprouts, as it were—indicate that spring is at hand.

TOPS, the first outdoor amusement of the children, with each returning Spring, are now spinning all over town.

ALDER BROS, talk of buying the corner lot fouth of The Mail building, and put up a house for their wall paper busi ness.

JUST as we expected. March ambled in like the meekest sort of a lamb—and now the lion will roar ere April showers pour. 0. W. MANCOI'RT contemplates putting up this season, on Chestnut street, a three story residence block, on the Philadelphia plan.

THE interior of Mrs. Hemingway's rosidence, which has been in the hands of fresco artists from Cincinnati, is said to be a "thing of beauty."

IT seems to be settled that Terre Haute is to retain the revenue collectorship, and as there is no opposition here to (.'apt. Hager, he will very probably have the appointment.

THE Koiman pork house, offered at auction last Tuesday, was purchased by W. B. Tuell, who with his usual sagacity is investing largely in river front property at the north end.

THE firm of Owen, Pixley A Co. will continue to occupy its present quarters. Mr. J. T. Brush, of Indianapolis, was in the city this week figuring on some important improvements in the interior arrangements.

A SHADOW is cast over the bright anticipations of the coming spring and summer months by the prospect that the base ball fever will rage with more virulence than ever. The two dailies already have it bad, and are doing all in their power to spread the contagion.

James M. Dlshou, "who goes forth in haste," surprised his many friends with the annouueement on Wednesday morning, that he had taken unto himself a wife the previous evening, Miss Sarah Wilson. The ceremony was performed at tho home of the bride, on north Ninth street.

TIIERK was a wild hunt yesterday morning for a bustle, lost while the young lady was going from the opera house. It was made up of a white skirt and an apron. The strings of the latter haviug come untied. This is not an advertisement, as the owner does not care to have i: returned.

THE Bee Line, which has leased Mr. Tuell's road for a term of ninety-nine years, will take charge of the same on the 15th inst. It pays to Mr. Tuell a rental of $4,000 a month. This road has been a lucky investment lor our esteemed townsman. Everything he touches seems to turn to gold.

OI'R Artesian baths are getting a national reputation, and the patronage of strangers is constantly increasing. The water has the endorsement of our leading physicians.

A YOUN'Q colored man was found yesterday with symptoms of small pox. He was taken in charge, and the pest house having been converted into a general hospital, he was placed temporarily in a tent, at the gravel pit in the rear ot the hospital. Dr. Waters, this morning, pronounces it a real case of small pox, and a small building will be put up in which to nurse the patient, who is in charge of George Planett.

THE Relief Concert on Thursday evening bad an audience that contributed $161.50. The expenses were only fll.00.

MRS. ELIZABETH BUBOAJJ, long a helpless invalid from paralysis, died on Tuesday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kate E. Brown, on east Main street, at the age of sixty-seven years. Her husband, the late James Burgau,who died in this city nearly two years ago, wa? one of the old residents of this county, and was known as a prominent and active citizen of Lost Creek townshi p. They raised a large family of children. Three sons and five daughters survive, all of whom have married, and the family has been scattered in various States from Pennsylvania to California. In years gone by their home in Lost Creek township, was noted for hospitality. The vibits of the neighbors and of the large circle of relatives were ever welcome. One of the saddest memories of life is the breaking up of such homes.

SECOND ENDORSEMENT OF THE STECK PIANO. Last Augusta letter was published iu The Mall, written by Mrs. Cornwell Wheeler, a former resident of this city, announcing the arrival of a Steck Upright, after a three months journey to Fort Assinoboine, Montana Territory. From a letter received this week by Mr. Kussner, from Mrs. Wheeler, after constant use of the piano since last July, we are permitted to copy the following "The instrument is just as fine as ever. I certainly do think it is the finest tone I ever heard from any piano. Every one thinks the same as I do."

GERMAN.

Progress is the watchword at the Terre Haute Commercial College. Isbell A Millier, the enterprising proprietors, awate of the fact it is to the interest of every business man to havea knowledge of the German language, have secured the services of Prof. Goldman, who will on Monday evening begin instruction in that lauguage. We are not advised, but presume pupils outside the regular commercial course will be taken.

THE PASSING SHOW. I

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLIYJK, J??8*

No town of like size in the west has given Mod jeska such an audience as that assembled here last Monday evening. Every seat on the lower floor had been sold on the morning of the performance and many had to seek the .top gallery. The selection of "Twelfth Night" as the play was unfortunate in this, that the chaiacter of Viola did not give opportunity for a full exhibition" of her powers and talent. It was necessary in order to give it prominence, to make it a sort of opera bouffe character in manner and costume, whi. was scarcely in harmony with thecoy i.iaiden who "never told her love." The xhibitiou of anatomy was all that tb« most enthusiastic bald head could desi-e, and yet every movement was modest—the ^ago. perfection of grace. But there were occasional opportunities for flashes of genius, and as a whole the play was a grand dramatic treat. "Twelfth Night" is seldom played, and many ho, in their reading of the great dm natist have skipped it, were surprised find it so rich in comedy characters. These were strongly drawn in make-up, in action and reading by the talentecompany supporting Modjeska. If she could return and play "Odette"' she would be certain of as large an audience as that of last Monday.

The "Black Flag" deserved the two very large audiences assembled on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. is a more or less improbable, highly spiced drama, depending upon well wr mght up situations, fine scenic effects, and strong character personations. It is played by au unusually strong company, which includes Nat Goodwin and wife, Edwin F. Tborne and wife, Agnes Proctor,'and Edwin Yarrey, all leading artists in their line. Nat Goodwin, as Sim Lazarus, the Jew, does a great piefe of work, and as usual when he is on he stage, which is most of the time, the audience is convulsed. His make up, his comical by plays, coming so unexpectedly, and the entire characterization is

the

feature of the play. Nat Goodwin has wonderful originality asacomedian. He is to play the grave digger in "Hamlet" at the Cincinnati dramatic festival, and it is told on him that he says if he makes a success of the part, he will have the play rewritten and make the character sufficiently prominent to star in it.

On Monday evening Frank Chanfrau with his dramatic company will enact the drama of Kit, the Arkansas Traveler. The play and player are both well known here—always have a big greeting. This from the Chicago Tribune:

Frank Chanfrau was ssen by a crowded audience last night, in Ills best and most successful part, Kit, the Arkansas Traveler, which has secured a strong hold upon the public. K\t Redding, as Imparted by him, is another of those unique originalities that has stamped him as a master In the school of natural acting. It is not only his own line realistic characterization that tends to make this play such a success, but it is so diversified in its construction as to present in its formation some certain qualities to please all tastes. The tender love scenes, the thrilling Western anventures, the humorous phases of character, are all magnets that illl every house In which the drama is played.

Minnie Hawk, late leading prima donna of Her Majesty's opera company, will appear at the Opera House on Tuesday evening, together with Mile. Pauline Sali, Signor Montegriffo and Mr. G. Gottschalk, in a grand operatic concert. The first part of the programme will be made up of selections, and the second will consist of scenes from "Carmen," in costume. Her brilliant operatic season of 1881-82 is remembered by lovers of high art in music. Her appearauce in Carmen and other operas invariably drew the largest audiences in every city, and it was due principally to her great name and her splendid performances that the management obtained so satisfactory results. In private life she has an unblemished character, which has secured to her an enviable social position. The sale of seats for Tuesday evening was commenced this morning at Button's.

After Tuesday evening there is nothing booked at the Opera House until the 21st, when Gus Williams comes.

About fifteen hundred persons contributed 91,386.00 to Modjeska's manager Menday evening.

Mrs. Langtry wants to play at the Cincinnati dramatic festival. Well, well, "how we apples swim."

To "burlesque" means to "take off." That is why the burlesque actresses take off so much on the stage.

Robinson's circus Is to have some Patagonlans with it next season, two of whom are nine feet high, as alledged.

Modjeska, it is stated has firmly made up her mind to retire next season. The stage will lose one of its brightest ornaments.

Lotta it is stated by authority will not travel after next year, but will go to Europe to luxuriate on her three or four hundred thousand dollars.

He bad also heard of Dan Rice, and mentioned the names of other clowns that I cannot now recollect."
