So it seems that''Terre Haute'e handsomest editor and most practiced orator" while away the time, when traveling, by talking to pretty actresses. The or* full gentleman need not worry over his slight mistate on the "mashed raspberry." One of our lawyers expresses himself as very much struck on a girl who passes his office in a "smashed strawberry" dress. But Bayless oughtn't to give the boys away.

THE Spring meeting of tlje Terre Haute Trotting Association opens at the Fair Grounds next Wednesday and will continue until Saturday. There will be three races each day, and the

purses

offered are on such a liberal scale

as to bring here the best horses in the West. Hie track is in admirable condition, the grounds cleaned up and there is every prospect of large attendance. The programme is given elsewhere.

THE Business Men's Excursions have such an impetus as to make them certain of successful results. W. H. Brown, of the American Express Company, as chairman of the committee, is a rattler and ba^ been on the go, distributing bills and posters where they will do the most good. The first excursion will come from Efiingham next Wednesday: the second from GreencasLle on the 19th, and the third from Crawfordsville on the22d.

THE papers announce that Hod M. Smith intends to retire frem the management of the Opera House on the first of July. The reason given is inabilty to please the owner of the building, the lessees of the Opera House and others in the contemplated repairs of the house. Mr. Smith, we understand, has actually tendered his resignation, but we have reason to believe that Brooks & Dickson will not permit such a state of affairs to cause them to lose so good a manager.

IN conversation, a few evenings ago, one of our fashionable ladies said she admired a certain prson because she was "so well reversed in bookfi." She also was very enthusiastic over the German language, only that she did not like "the gutterly sound!" But what of it A lady can afford to make such little mistakes as this if she wears diamond ear rings, and has a bank account. It is only genteel poverty that is obliged to observe all the little elegances of language.

THE announcement of the coming State Encampment of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, commencing on the 2d of July and continuing to the 5th, is given In another column. In its programme is included the celebration of the Fourth of July, when is promised 'the finest military pageant ever witnessed In the West." The Knights deserve the hearty support of our people, and especially of our business men in this enterprise.

given, except &at a saloon keeper .followed him to the postofflce one morning and armed with a rock and revolver, ac* compiished his purpose. The cause of the assault was the denial on the part of Dr. Birch of some slander that had been circulated. Dr. Birch was the father of Mrs. Hal Dulaney, of Marshall, and will be remembered as once an esteemed cltisen of this place.

IN the presence of some seventy invited guests, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Sarah J. Dowling, on Ohio street, last Thursday morning shortly after eleven o'clock, Rev. F. S. Dunham united In marriage Miss Jennie Dowling and Mr. Bobert Diggs. After partaklug or an English breakfast the bridal pair left on the afternoon train for the east. They will visit at Poughkeopsie, N. Y., the bride's sister, Mrs. Burk, who accompanies them, then go to Mm. Diggs' home in Maryland, and In couple of weeks return here to reside.

I*ow that the rage for "crazy" quilts is" so genoral, the girls resort to every de vice to obtain scrap"*. It has bx»mea common practice for them, when a gentleman is calling on them, to get a pair of fcdssors and very cooly proceed to cut off one or both ends of his handsome silk tie. This wss all very well while the vests were worn tightly buttoned, but now that warm weather has come the boys must continue to button their vests or else lay in a supplyof ties. Not satisfied with this, the fair vandals have commenced an attack on the satin hat linings and appropriate them with the utmost coolness. The boys are hanging on to the backs of their vests and coat sleeve linings, but without much hope of ssving tbem. Girls, Isn't it about time to stop this foolishness?

WONDERFUL MECHANISM. There Is now on exhibtlon at 426 Main street, near the corner of Fifth, a marvelous piece oi mechanism which is daily attracting crowds of interested spectator*. It is a miniature building erected seemingly on the aide of a hill, filled with machinery in motion, people moving about, a bird singing in a tree, train in rapid in rapid motion, fountaina playing, etc. To fully describe would take too much of our space. Our advice Is to drop ten emits with the doorkeeper as you pas* that way, and as yoa look upon it, listen to the interesting descriptive kcttw*.

NAIAD QUEEN.

AN IMMENSE SUCCESS! Success! Well, we should remark. Five successive performances at the Opera House, and the last three nights people have been turned away, unable to get seats. Last night at fifteen minutes after seven- -nearly an hour before the rising of the curtain—the family circle was full to overflowing. The lower floor was later in filling up for the reason that about all the people down stairs had their seats engaged in advance. It will be the same this afternoon and tonight, and in order to meet the demand and that a*l may have opportunity to see this beautiful spectacle,Mr. McKnght has determined to give it again on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week.

What is it, you may ask, that gives this fairy opera such drawing qualities? Well, in the first place, it is pure and clean. Then the stage is full of the children of our town people, and in their brilliant costumes, with bright faces, look li£e great banks of flowers. And they sing like so many birds. Art can furnish no sweeter sounds than nature, and the human voice is never so musical as in childhood. Then these are assisted by our best amateur talent, including Miss Hellen Jeffera, Flora Keller, Anna Auble, May McEwan, Lizzie Davis, Tom and Gabe Davis, all so well known, and who never before appeared to so good advantage, together with a host of others who have in this entertainment made their first public appearance, and deserving of mentionbut the host is too great to enumerate. Then there's the gorgeous scenery, so brillisntly Ruminated with calcium lights, the vroiderful mechanism carrying goddesses and fairies through the air in clouds and fairy cars, surpassing anything in a spectacular way ever seen here—the sparkling music, the marches, the dances, the elegant costumes, and— but the papers have been full of it this week, and so much h*as been said, that it remains only for The Mail to put on record that the "Naiad Queen" is a success unparalleled in the history of amateur or professional amusements in this city.

THE premium list of the eighteenth annual fair of the Vigo Agricultural society is out, a neat pamphlet from the press of Moore fc Langen. The fair begins on the 3rd of September, the premiums will be paid in full, and every effort made to have a successful exhibi tion.

MRS. MAGGIE W6I.F died at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Johu Scott, on Cherry street. She was forty-three years of age, and had lived most of her life in this city. —The busiest place we found in look lng around yesterday was at J. A Marshall's Opera Music House. He is building up a big trade in the popular pianos from Steinway, Decker Bros. Hains Bros., Vose & Sons, J. A C. Fisher, and the Bstey, Shonninger and other organs. One price to alUnd a guarantee of the fullest satisfaction, makes the pur chaser of an instrument feel tbat he is getting the worth of his money

.STE MCKEEN PARK. The Vandalia road has, at considerable expense, fitted up a beautiful grove, with miniature lake, at Long Point, thirty-eight miles west of the city, and named it McKeen Park. It will be inaugurated for picnic purposes, next Saturday, by Centenary 8unday School. The train will start at 8 o'clock in the

morning,and return at 7 in the evening. Fare for round trip—adults 75 cents children 36 cents.

CITY SLAUGHTER HOUSE. J. H.
