THE young ladies of the Congregational church gave a delightful entertainment in the church parlors last night, which was enjoyed by a very large assemblage. The fan drill by a squad of ten yonng misses was jnst scrumptious, and Misses Annie and Lizzie Allen, who put them through the movements, have reason to be proud of their success.
THE boys are carious to know what Buffalo BlU is going to do next—be having telgrapbed Mr. Jeffers for the nse of the fairgrouuds on the 29th and 30th of May. We see it stated that Buffalo Bill, Carver, the champion rifle shot, and Major Frank North, another demon with the gun, are about to take the road in something representing wild western life. The attraction will probably be something of this sort.
THElatest agony in esthetic circles Is to have a shelf fixed above the door and filled with ric-a-brac.
Then, when the
husband gets into a rage and slams the door, his anger Is so gratified by the crash of falling china and the hysterical screams of my lady, that he goes down town as happy as a clam. By all means let us have an art gallery in the attic, a museum in the cellar and a collection of old china under the bed.
THE last lecture in theW. C. T. U. course was given by
as
Hon.
Total,
Ie«rls
Wm. Par
sons, of Ireland. The audience was not
large as is usually seen at the minstrels or comic opera bnt the lecture was one of the finest ever delivered in Terre Haute. The word-painting was exquisite and any one feature, that of Egypt and the Sphinx, Greece and her literature, Italy and Mt. Vesuvius or the entrance to the sea, was well worth the price of admission. Those who hear Mr. Pardons once will never miss a second opportunity.^
THATsouth Sixth street bagnio is said to be again in full blast. This woman, the owner of the house, when recently arrested, gave the authorities to understand that she would give up her disreputable traffic and she was told In effect to "go and sin no more." The Mail was of the opinion at the time that under the circumstances, the officers did the right thing. Now that she refuses to refrain from iniquity and persists in tauntallxlng tho moral seutimeHt of a decent community, let such steps as may bo neccessary be taken to protect society from her aflrontery and vile influence.
••APRIL FOOL IS past" but It is hard to tell who is "the biggest fool at last," as the children say. The observance of this day is confined mostly to the little ones and to the practical jokers. The same old hats with a brick under them and the same counterfeit parcels that have adorned the streets for years, on this day of frolic, were to be seen last Sunday. The little boy called out, "Mister, you're dropped your handkerchief," and the little girl pinned tags on the unsuspecting pedestrian, just as of yore. Several of the ministers fooled their congregations by exchanging pulpits. A number of bogus love letters were sent and appointments made, and the day was over, gone to join St. Valentine and Hallow E'en.

AMUSEMENTS NEXT WEEK.
No play now upon the stage has a more tenacious bold upon the public than'that of the "Two Orphans," It is a drama that will live and it certainly is a drama that should. On Monday evening it will be played at the Opera House by Kate Claxton, the great original ''Louise,^'supported by Charles A.Stevenson, Henrietta Vad era and a strong company and the drama requires a strong company, for as the New York Tribune remarks "any one of the central fignres of the play of the "Two Orphans," transferred to canvas, would be a study.

Every actor Is a star—none others could travel with that company with M. B. Leavitt and Tony Pastor at its head. The programme embraced all features pertaining to an elegant vaudeville performance, ana the ladles and children were treated to a genuine luxury. Upon tbt. whole, the company stands at the head af the list aa the king laugh-makers, who can come again and tickle our ribs whenever they like to."

5 HOUSE DECORATION, r. Modern house decoration is. not mere popular fancy that will pass away, but is the outcome of the the growing artistic taste of the age. Most of us can remember when the house, finished with hard, smooth white walls was considered very fine when paper was on only after the walls had become soiled or broken and was used as a necessity, and not on account of the beauty. To see the paper used then one does net wonder that white walls were prefered. With the advent of the beautiful papers that have been manufactured the last few years, has grown a taste for beautiful walls, and now the bare walls are relegated to the cheerful past, and the rooms even of new houses are finished specially to be papered. The designers have been improving from year to year until now it seems they have nearly arrived at perfection in the beautiful design and combination of colors. In the old way householders could put their own papers on, as it did not make much difference how it was done now so beautiful are the designs, even of the cheaper grades, and the desire is for properly arranged combinations that it requires an artist in that line to properly arrange and place the designs on the walls—such artists as are in the employ of J. W. Robert^ fc Co.,who are showing at the corner of Ohio and Sixth streets all the latest colors and designs, much handsomer and more artistic than were seen last season. Be sure to look at the large and varied stock of wall papers, decorations and window shade goods, and learn prices at Robeits & Co's before giving your orders this spring. —JT. R. FISHER will add to his shoe department the manufacture of men's and ladies' shoes to measure of every description, at most reasonable prices. Parties wanting auything in that line should give him a call. The manufacturing department will be in charge of H. Clark. He has had years of experience in the business. 329 Main street.
