WE have lived through Valentine day, we have survived the immortal Twenty-second of February and now we will have a rest till St. Patrick's day in (he morning. The only day that we really enjoy celebrating is the first of April. There is something congenial about that occasion and the people who get up all these celebrations.
8EVBRAL different newsqitoers are claiming a prodigy for tbeirrw^ective towns in the shape of a' "muscial cat." Pshaw! Here in Terre Haute we have concerts and operas every night in which every cat in the troupe is a prima donna, except a few who sing high tenor or very low basso, and the way they bring music out of the fiddle strings, -well-!"
JOHN WEINHARDT, brother of Mrs. L. Kussner and Mrs, Dr. Penoe, was found dead in his bed last Sunday mornlug at Dr. Pence's residence. When called for breakfast he said he was not feeling well. An hour later he was dead. Paralysis of the brain was the cause. He was forty-eight years of age, unmarried, and for more than twenty years a trusted and valued clerk for Dr. Penoe.
THE "supes" on the Opera House stage sue always awkward and ungainly eeough, but they fairly surpassed themselves last Wednesday night in "Siberia." In the grand pageant during the comet solos, they stood in the background like animated scarecrows, not very much animated either, and fully justified the comment of a gentleman present, that "they looked as if they had already been sentenced to Siberia and were on the way there,"
THE new dry goods house—the Boston Store—will be open la the Doming Block, east of Sixth street about the first a sr W a an a A Anderson, the proprietors are fitting the room in elegant style and will pat into it afresh and complete stock of goods.

THE childlike simplicity and beautif 1 trust of women is illustrated by a touching incident. A peddler has been going the rounds collecting hair, which he agrees to dress over beautifully. The ladies havo fairly snatched themselves baldheaded and loaded him down with switches, curies, etc. without taking any receipt, pledge or guarantee of any kind. The fellow has skipped the country and the confiding females have temporarily retired from society.
THE: day of "advertising cards" seems to be on the wane. For a while the country was flooded with them, pretty ones and ugly ones, comic, sentimental, poetical, pictured with flowers, fruit, animals, people and scenery. They were thrown in the yard, stuck under the front door, thrust into your hand, done up in your bundles, sent through the mail. Some of them were very ingenious, real works of art, but the market became surfeited. Now they seem to be dying out and we wait with interest to see what will be the next device of the advertisers.

THE colored man is right to the front In our court juries now-a-days. There was one on each of the recent petit Juries of the Circuit and Superior courts, one in the trial of Manis, and now another representative of the race on the grand jury.
FLAGS flying from the city buildings and the postofflce yesterday, reminded as that 152 years ago Qeorge Washington was born. He was the greatest rebel this country has known. But he was a successful rebel, which makes all the difference in the world.

THE quickest move recently made was .accomplished by A. H. Boegeman last afternoon. At three o'clock he to^ijegan moving his entire stock of boots jr' and shoes, with shelving, counters etc., and at seven o'clock was in shipshape
the course of some advice given musical debutants, Brainard's Musical World says: "Select something easier than your most difficult song when you appear before an audience." This is a wise admonition applicable to this locality and its observance would go far toward popularizing amateur concerts. So many singers commit the error, when on public exhibition, of attempting songs and scores which should never be taken save by the highest professional skill. The result is disappointment 011 all sides, to say nothing of the discomfort caused the ghosts of the masters.
IT seemed almost incredible on last Tuesday morning that a blizzard could be nearaf hand. The air was soft and mild the sun went in and out among the clouds with the capriciousness of April. A robin sang on the fence and a pair of red- birds were flying about with twigs in their mouth as if about to build a nest. In a little pool of water that had collected on the top of the porch, a whole flock of sparrows settled for a morning bath and splashed and chattered of the ooming spring. But all day the air seemed full of expeotancy. At noon the rain began to fall et three o'clock the wind arose and swept through the leafless trees at four the rain changed to bail and the wind to a cyclone at six o'clock darkness fell upon theearth the snow came down in great masses the fierce blasts caught it up and twisted it into angry whirlpools. We were, in the midst of the blizzard. But when the next morning dawned, bright and sunshiny, two frozen red birds dropped down from a bough- and the robin lay under a snow drift. —11—
AMUSEMENTS.
When mbre than two attractions are booked at the opera house for one week, the lesser attractions must suffer for lack of patronage. So it was this week that Roland Reed's "Cheek" had only a moderate sized audience on Tuesday evening, and Edwin Thome's "Black Flag" on Thifrsday evening had one much less in numbers, while Siberia on Wednesday evening had a splendid gathering of our
Bhow-going
people who
have come to know pretty well In advance the good things on the road. In this case they did not go wrong in their selection, for "Siberia" is one of the very best plays of its class now on the stage, is superbly mounted and played by a very strong party. If convenient to stop here another night this season, it would have a house filled to overflowing.
Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels will appear here next Tuesday evening. This is Mr. Haverly's big company, not the Kit Clarke concern that so badly sold our people recently—a company organized for playing the small towns, and which came in here without Mr. Haverly's permission. In a private note Mr. Fred E. Wright, the manager of thecom)any ooming next week, says: "This is the strongest company Mr Havejly ever owned, possibly better than he will ever send through the country again, from the fact that this company is now organised for Europe where it opens June 30th. The show is new from rise to fall of curtain and "The Princess of Mrdagascar" is the grandest thing ever attempted by a minstrel company." He desires that our people should particularly understand that this is the original Maatodon company and is in no way connected with any other bearing the name of Haverly. The names mentioned in the bills certainly indicate a strong organisation. "Skipped by the light of the Moon," that "Funny, very, very funny" play, is the Saturday night play for next week.
The bill poster's paper is here for Lawrence Barrett's appearance, but the date is not known to Manager Hager.

S
DON'TS FOR CHURCH GOERS.
Don't be late. Dont go to ahow your dress. Don't wear squeaking boots. Don't leave during the service. Don't put strangers out of your pew Dont read while the preacher is speaking.
Don't forget to take the sermon home to yourself. Don't be too much engsged in prayer when the collection plate passes.
Don't mistake a church for a concert hall, and go for the sake of the music only.
Don't imsgine everyone is looking at yon wheu you go in. Some people go to church to pray if you don't.
Don't go home with your girl after service, on a slippery night, and leave your mother and grandmother to slide along alone.
Don't frown on the poor you may happen to meet in God's house. It is the one place on earth where all men and all women should meet as equsls.
Don't attend church services for the purpose of ridiculing them. If you take no part in the services at least behave yourself becomingly during the performance of them.
Don't let the pattern of your crazy patch work quilt run away with your thoughts while the preacher is explaining the text.
Don't fall in love with a girl who looks very demure and sanctimonious in church. That may be her church face. Find out a few more particulars before committing yourself.
Don't stay home if you are not quite as^fashionably fixed up as you would like to be. By going you would stand a better chance of being clothed in fine raiment a thousand years from now than if you stay at home.
Don't explain the meaning of the service to your young hopefuls during the performance of them. It may be interesting to you to do so, but people in the neighboring pews might prefer to be quiet.
Don't shrink your duty of helping to pay the expenses of the church you attend. You don't pay for the gospel which is preached free to all men, but you ought to be willing to pay for the privilege of attending divine services in a church that is well taken care of and made comfortable for you.
Don't put on your overshoes and wraps during the latter part of the services. What is tolerated in a theatre is disresDectful in a church. 3?
POLO.
On next Wednesday evening, the Inianapolis Polo club will.play the return game with the Terre Haute club, at the Bijou Rink. The home team has been but recently organized, and labored for some time under the difficulties of a partial understanding of the game. Notwithstanding this the boys went to Indianapolis and defeated the rival city's team.
The following are members of the club: George Hebb, captain, Harry Brown, half back, Joe Newhardt half back, C. Davis rusher, Ed. McKennan cover point, R. W. Rogers and S. Early goal tend. There has been a great deal of interest manifest in the prospective game, and the home boys are practicing every evening. &****
The Indianapolis club composes M. W. Phillips Manager, Harry Kemp Captain, Bert Dasher, sub-captain, George Catterson, Charles Tarleton, Frank Lehman, A. G. Daly, Joe Murphy. The club will arrive here Wednesday afternoon, accompanied by their friends, and will be tendered a reception after the game. The Bijou Rink management are remodeling the floor and will make ample arrangements for seating the audience.
During the evening of the contest Mr. Henry Kemp, and Messrs. Tarleton and Catterson will give an exhibition of Fancy Skating.
Speaking of Base Ball, there are other Balls that are not base, and more deserving of attention. One of those is R. L. Ball, who, as has been mentioned has moved a few doors east of his old stand* Drop in and see him, one door east of Foote'a seed store, where he will show you as pretty a lot of Mantels as your eyes ever looked upon. He has a great variety of cooking and heating stoves from the best manufacturers in the land.
Scientists claim that it is not pain but fear that makes pigs clamor on being slaughtered. Whether this be true or not there is no disputing the fact that in alaughtering pigs or sheep or lambs or calves or cattle, James H. Pinnell selects the best, the fattest the tenderest that can be found in this market. That's why so many people go to No. 27 north Fourth street for their fresh meats. —A grand march will be given to-night at the rink.
Those who desire cheap rates to Kansas, had better go with W. T. Liggett, March 4th. and 18thh Get tickets of him st once, and those who want to go to Arkansas and Texas to visit, look for cheap homes, or take a hunt, had better arrange business and go March 4th. For tickets, etc., call on him, corner Fourth and Ohio streets.
Don't fool your time away looking at shobby paper sole to the assignee sale and 'get a pair for a dollar, all solid, side lace or button, 407 Main street!

Mothers, don'tiake 1 trubel for your children than youdoforcompany Sum of you strsne-every nerve to "entertain" handsomely and grase fully, to be agreeable and spopuler amung mere ackuaintanses, when one the eflfert exerted fer your children would make them lifelong friends and admirers. And speakin' of entertain how much better rich fokes would be if they would have
more of the simpnl, old-fashioned hospitality. Pepul now-a-days give parties and lunches and invite only those to whom they are "indebted" and then wash their nands of all obligation for a year or two. Real friendly visiting is a most unknown, and an invitetion to stay to dinner or to tea is not expected, ana is seldom given. Trne hospitality, cordially welcoming friends to a simple home table is a virtue as rare as it is beautiful, and has almost entirely given place to feeding social credilbrs at so much a head. Rippetoe, of the White Frunt, can give you the things wanted for the oest of old-fashioned dinners.
