A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

TERRE HAUTE, APRIL, 26,1884

BUYING A HUSBAND. Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. Mrs. Stearns,of No. 1273

Third avenue,

Is a lady who stands high in the estimation of her neighbors. When, therefore, Mrs. Rubens, of Seventy-fourth street and Second avenue, confidently inform ed her friend, Mrs. Samuels, that she was anxious to secure a young husband for her daughter Rachel, Mrs. Samuels instantly proposed that the matter be laid before Mrs. Stearns. The two ladies hastened to Mrs. Steams' residence, and Mrs. Rubens stated her case. She said her daughter was young and beautiful, and she wanted te marry her off as speedily as possible. Mrs. Stearns advised her to come in some time next week. "Next week won'tdo,"said Mrs, Rubens, "Rachel must be married tonight." "It's out of the question," said Mrs. Stearns "the time is too short.' Mr». Bubens said she would pay $100 down to Mrs. Stearns if she would get a husband for Rachel that night. The large blue eyes of Mrs. Stearns sparkled at this proposition, and she said she would do her best. The ladies then took their departure, and Mrs. Stearns sailed forth in quest for a bridegroom. At the oorner she met Herman Gahrener, handsome young man out oi employment, and asked him how he would like to get married. Herman was staggered by the question, but recovered when told that the lady was young, beautiful and well to do. He accompanied Mrs, Stearns to the residence of Mrs. Rubens, and that lady, having looked him over, said that she thought be would do. Mrs, Rubens then proposed to Herman that if he would marry her daughter right off she would start him in business, and

felightedly

ive him a cash capital of |600. Herman accepted the proposition, and, the preliminaries having been arranged, Miss Rachel was brought from a rear room and introduced to her affianced husband.

The meeting was an affecting one. The lovers shook hands like a couple of base ball players, and the party set out at once for the residence of the nearest minister. A half hour later they were man and wife. The next day Mrs. Rubens secured a liquor saloon for her son-in-law, at No. 1295 Third avenue, and gave him f500 in money. After a reasonable delay Mrs. Stearns made a demand for the 100 which Mrs. Rubens declined to pay. Then Mrs. Stearns brought suit for breach of contract, and the case came up in Judge Monell's Fifth-seventh-street Court House today. Judge Monell listened to the evi dence with profound attention, but refrained from rendering a decision until he bad fully examined the authorities. Herman and Rachel were in court during the proceedings, and seemed very much amused. Herman is said to be doing a thriving business, and is OE the high road to fortune. He seems devotedly attached to his wife, and Rachel returns his sentiments.

MODERN FUNERALS. Dos Moines Mail.

'Among the customs deserving of a better fate, but that are are giving way with the disappearance of the "good old times," is that of reverence for the dead. The old-fashioned fuueral and the modern funeral are vastly different things. There Used to be a solemnity connected with th? "last sad rites," b^it now there -v is jolity and levity. The burying of the dead is dealt with .as mere incidents of the times, occurrences that signify but little. Watch the modern fuueral procession. The first carriage or two, bearing the immediate relatives and really bereaved friends, are solemn enough, but these past you and you see the occupants of the remaining vehicles, chatting, laughing and smoking. For a moment as the acquaintances gather about the grave to witness the lowering of the ooffln, there is silence and a doffingof hats, but the brief prayer said, and the first clod of earth thrown upon the rough box that encloses the coffin, and the smothered cigars are relighted, and with a remark tothe efiect, "Well,

Jack's gone he was a tip-top good fellow," aud—that's the end of mm. He is very "soon forgotten." A party of Chicago gentleman, members of a secret fraternity, some time ago accompanied a deceasedfbrother to this city. The body disposed of, the remark "Now for a night of it," was passed from one to another, and with a party of new acquaintances the night was given up to a merry carousel. 'Us so from the greatest to the least. The route of the funeral train thit bore Prosident Garfield's remains to their last resting place was strewn with empty champagne bottles, and the government was called upon to pay an enormous bill for whisky, wine, beer and tobacco used by the festive congressional funeral party. We make all oar display now in costly flowers, magnificent caskets and rich burial gowns. The old-time grief is no longer fashionable.

A~LEMON BATH.

"Did you ever taks a lemon bath?" "No. Who ever heard of such a thing?" The querist was a gentleman who once studied medicine, and is constantly trying experiments o! a sanitary nature. "Well, if you want to feel a fresh and novel sensation, bathe in lemon juke," continued the first speaker. "I have been using it once a week for six months with gratifying results. Look at my hands?' With this be extended a very shapely pair and his Mends gaserf upon and felt of them. They were soft, air and very healthy looking. The nails were perfect, with a beautiful color and the skin around them waa close-fitting, with no sign of dryness or crack. They had no wrinkles, and while not seeming tender, were more like those of a babe than of a man 86 years old. Their owner said: "X don't use more than four lemons at a time. 1 simply squeese all the juioe out, dip a sponge in it and go over my whole body with it. I then use water, and when I have done this and applied a rough Turkish towel, 1 feel as bright as a new dollar and as fresh as a daisy# Doing this before breakfast gives me a good appetite and for days I feel the good effect. keep lemon on the Wash-stand in place of soap all the time, and make it a point to rub my nails with it after each washing. I oout know what a chemist would my about this, trat am fully Mtlafied with the results and shall keep It up."

SMALL TEETH IN FASHION. [Interview with a dentist] "Denticulation," said the dentist, "is the art of making small, pretty and even teeth out of very large, irregular, badly shaped ones." "Natural teeth? Oh, come now, you don't mean to tell me there is any such thing as a fashion in natural teeth!" "But I do. To-day we can change the size, shape and general appearance of the teeth to suit the caprices of society. And why not? Every one knows the Chinese compress the feet of their girls there are people among whom the women color tneir teeth blue others there are aiao who color them yellow or bltfck. Besides this there are fashions in hair, eyes, noses, ears and hands. The members are moulded and ornamented in accordance with fancies and tastes. Very large teeth are never pretty. In fact, an otherwise comely-looking person can be made most hideous, if the month is small, by having large teeth. Noses are now made in any shape desired, and why should the teeth not receive the same attention? "Then yon mean to say teeth can be cut down, rounded off, polished up and made perfect—" "Just as yon would apiece of granite, Some savage tribes, yon know, admire pointed teeth and have them filled to the proper shape without serious detriment to their usefulness." "You say nothing of the danger to the teeth?" "The danger is less than none."' "It must take along time to fix up person's teeth?" "Tbst depends on the case. A pretty bed mouth can bs put in shape in two or three weeks if several hours a dsy are spent upon it." "Who are your patients, as a rule?" "Ladies, of course although I have treated a couple of pretty boys—dudes, I believe you call them."

We understand that seal-skin coats are going out of style, and in consequence, colds are increasing among the fair sex. How fortunate there is such a remedy as Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup 1

KISSING A SENORITA. Parral Letter in the Courier-Journal. "Senorita, I kiss your feet, adoist" This is the parting eauute contained in a note just finished te a young Mexican friend. Of course I do not intend to kiss her feet, but it is the proper caper here, and I have conformed to it. By the way, the Senoritas have but a faint idea of kissing—that art frono which so few possess the capacity of detracting the most available ecstasy—and I one day offered to show a dark-eyed, ravenhaired young lady how los Americanos performed the act. She laughingly agreed—it is unnecessary for me to say that the male members and duenna were out of the way—and I advanced upon her My left arm encircled her waist, extending over the! 'iRfet shoulder downward my right arm*bent at the elbow, afforded my hand an opportunity of accumulating her dimpled chin. Gently folding back her head and throwing a look, or rather a rapid series of looks of unutterable nothings into my eyes, I gazed clean through her's for a moment, and then with a long breath I tapped her lips. It was a revelation to her she quivered visibly, but instead of returning my kiss, she broke away from nay embrace and ran off to lock herself up, frightened, pleaseL but astounded. I was satisfied that I bad done myself and country proud, although, to be candid, it was merely a mechanical operation with me, done for the sake of effect, as I did not really care for the girl. I think she remained in maiden meditation, for two days, but at last I saw her, tend she told me, with a deep blush, that she wished she had been born in America, to be kissed like that.

The enervation and lassitude of pring time are but indications «f the fugglsh action of the blood, over-loaded with carbonates accumulated by the use of heating food in winter. This condition nnay be remedied by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the best blood purifier known.

JP THE LAST KISS.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WRECK OP THE CITY OP COLUMBUS. Boston Herald.1 "Among the confused mass who were struggling and screaming were notiaed a middle aged man and his wife. Their conduct was in marked contrast with that of other passengers, The panic which had seized the others was not shared by them, but their blanched faoee told that they realized the peril which surrounded them. The only movement or muscle or nerves was that procfaeed by the chilling atmosphere. They stoed together, their hands clasped in essb other, as If to fulfill the martial vow ef standing by each other in the varying tide of life's fortunes and misfortunes. As the wreck careened with the gate from one side to the other, and while the spray and waves were drenching them at every moment, the husband tamed and imprinted a kiss upon the companion of his life, and while thus embraced a heavy sea broke ov«r the wreck, and both were washed away and not seen afterward. Mr. Cook says tha aeane was one which will remain upon his memory until his dying day.

MARRIED BY TELEPHONE. Galveston News. Quite a novel wedding took plaee in Weatherford, Texas, last night. Mr. J. M. Hudson and Mrs. Leave, ot Dallas, came to be married, and, swing to the fact that the clerk was dead, jmd his successor had not been appointed they could not get any licence. They telephoned to the cleric of Palo Pinto county and bad him issue them a licence hut still tbey were in a dilemma. They could not get It from there under twen-ty-hours, so tbey roused up Judge Taylor. and were Married by telephone, esen holding a telephone to their ear until the solemn words "nym and wife" were pronounced.

HE FINEST ON THE ROAD. The Sells Bros.Is monster fifty cagb menagerie and great four ring circus is coming, and will exhibit in this city, Thursday, May 8th.

Our readers are already in possession of so much knowledge concerning this vast amusement enterprise that it would seem useless to say much concerning it. We say it might seem useless, and so it would be, were it not for the fact that we know that we have no need of saying anything about what the show was when last with us, and that the additions of this year alone, in every dep&rtof the big show, are varied aad wonderful enongh to keep us writing for aye to do them simple justice. The Sells Brothers show is now tnree times as large as ever it was before—and it was always, asour readers are aware, a hugh af&tir. It would indeed be hard for us to believe that such a world of wonders Is really coming to Terre Haute on Thursday, May 8th, and that we are going to eeeit, but for the fact that we have apersonal acquaintance with the Mesbrs. Sells, and that we are likewise conversant with the method employed by them in conducting their extensive businen. We know that they would scorn to do a deceitful act to an individual, and that to do so to the public, they consider doing a more grevlous wrong. We know their show is an honest show, free from unprincipled sharks and hangers-on, such as are found in the wake of small shows. And with them games of chance are not permitted under any circumstances. Their success, although quite phenomenal, Is still easily accounted for. This sounds paradoxical, but when we consider that the heaviest percentage of their business done by this show is put aside for the purpose of adding additional attractions yearly, and that each succeeding season makes the Sells circus doubly as large as the proceeding one, and consequently doubly as good, it will not seem so strange. The Messrs. Helis hold the key to the seoret of success in the show busi nesB, aad it is knowing the wants of the people, and supplying them. Xbey conduct their great business In just such a manner as if their vast capital was Invested in a railroad corporation, or any other concern in which so much capital could be employed We sa? railroad, simply because we can conceive of nothing else in a business way but a great rahroad with which to draw a comparison with their great railroad show.

They fully appreciate the fact that to be successful In these progressive times in the show business they, as managers, must leaa, not follow—there is too much strong ano lively competition for that. They therefore take the initiative step to lead. They know that they must not only grasp the present but the future, and they know that they can do so ouly by honestly dealing with the pubfriends for the fu-

lie now and thus making friends for tne iuture, and persevering In that policy. To prove that such-lajhelr aim and object, and tbat they do lead, w* call atteution to some of the features of their great show for the season of 1884.

First in order comes their fifty cages of living wild animals—just'fifty cages, no more no loss. More than any other snow has ever owned in the world. Other shows advertise ?ne hunpred cages or more, there is nothing to prevent them from advertising twice as many, but the Sells Brothers can confine themselves to the truth knowing that they alone can show as many as fifty cages, and no other show in America having half that number. The Sells Brothers advertise four rings, and performances in each of theringt, ana they have them. The Sells Brothers two hundred—all—star artists, and they have them. We name a few. Mr. James Robinson, the world famouB bare-back rider, who for a quarter of a century has had a standing challenge of ten thousand dollars—money deposited. He is certainly the undisputed leader of all horsemen, the laurel crowned Emperor of the equestrian arena, the wearer fer many years of the diamond studded belt, who challenges the world for a competitor to wrest it from him, and can find none.

The wonderful Stirk family the ereatfearless dashing lady bare-back rider, M'lle Cordona: the beautiful Purvis Sisters: Miss Magie Claire, the flying woman the Romali (rothera Miss Polly Lee Cardello and Austin the Marttnettl family the Leslie Brothers the Burton Athletes Wm. H. Gorman, the celebrated bare-back rider Don Jerenimo Bell, the wonderful hurdle rider Miss Pollle Lee. equestrian juggler the Donaldson Bros., India-rubber menfJohnnie Purvis, and his oomtoally trained donkeys Professor White's d«g elrcus, and nearly two hundred others of almost equal note.

A wonderful wealth of attractions surely, and a list fit to make the public flock to fill (he mammoth tents. Surely it is not wonderful after all to think that the Sells Bros, are successful. Their show is far above comparison, it Is simply the Mjgges\ and the best.

When the kite was at its greatest height —some 200 feet or more—the mewing of tne kitten oould be distinctly heard by those holding the string.

A TRAGIC EVENT.

A FATHER'S DESPAIR AND SELF-IN-FLICTED DEATH. HIS SON'S FINAL RESCUE, TOO LATE TO SAVE

HIS PARENT.

The graphic occurrence that ia described below is one of the most remarkable episodes in the domestic history of America. It is absolute truth which can readily be verified.

The inhabitants of the pleasant town of Cortland, N. Y., were shocked one morning by the announcement that Mr. Clinton Rindge, one of their most prominent citizens had committed suicide. The news spread rapidly and aroused the entire neighborhood where Mr. lUndge was so well and favorably known. At first it seemed impossible that any one so quiet and domestic could do so rash a deed, and the inquiry was heard on every ride as to the eause. The facta as developed on investigation proved to be ss follows:

Mr. Rindge was domestic in his tastes and took the greatest enjoyment in the society of bis children and pride in their development. And indeed he had good reason to be proud for tbey gave promise of long lives of success and useful ness. But an evil day came. His young est son, William, began to show signs ol early decay. He felt unusually tired each day, and would sometimes sleep the entire afternoon if permitted to do so. His head pained him, not acutely, but with a dull, heavy feeling. There was a sinking sensatiou at the pit ot his stomach, He lost all relish for food and much of bis interest for things about him. He tried manfully to overcome these feelii gs, but they seemed stronger than his will. He began to lose flesh rapidly. The^ father became alarmed and consulted^physicians as to the cause of his son's illness, but they were unable to explain. Finally severe sores broke out Qn his arms and he was tsken to Buffalo where a painful operation was performed resulting in the loss of much blood but affording little relief. The young man returned homeand a council of physicians was called. After an exhaustive examination they declared there was no hope of final recovery and tbat he must die within a very few days. To describe the agony which this announcement caused the father would be in possible. His mind failed to grasp itB full meaning at first then finally seemed to comprehend it, but the lead was too'great. In an agony of frenzy he seized a knife and took his own life, preferring death rather than to survive his idolized son. At that time William Rindge waa too weak to know what was transpiring. His face had turned black, his breath ceased entirely at times, and his friends waited for his death, believing that the fiend Bright's disease of the kidneys, from which he was suffering, could not be removed. In the supreme moment William's sister came forward and declared she would make a final attempt to save her brother. The doctors interposed, assuring her it was useless and that she would only hasten the end by the means she proposed to employ. But she was firm, and putting all back, approached her brother's side and administered a remedy which she fortunately had on hand. Within an hour he seemed more easy, and bofore the day was over he showed signs of decided improvement. These favorable signs continued, and to-day William B. Rindge is well, having been virtually raised from the dead through the marvelous power of Warner's Safe Cure, as can be readily verified by any citizen of Cortland.

Any one who reflects upon the facts above described must have a feeling of sadness. The father, dead by his own hand, supposing his son's recovery to be fmpossible the son restored to health to mourn the loss of his father and the agonized relatives with a memory of sadness to forever darken their lives. Had Clinton Rindge known that his son could recover he would to-day be alive and happy, but the facts which turned his brain and caused him to commit suicide were such as any one would accept as true.

However sad this case may be, the truth remains that thousands of people are at this moment in as great aotual

Sanger

eril as William Rindge and in as great of causing misery if not death to their friends. Liver and kidney diseases are become the most common and most dangerous of any or all modern complaints. They are the most deceptive in uheir beginnings and horrible in their final stages. They are far more deceptive than Consumption, and can rarely be detected even by skillful physicians unless a microscopic analysis be restored to, and few *doetors under stand how to do this. Their slightest approach, or sensibility of approach should strike terror to the one who is threatened as well as to all his or her friends. These diseases have no distinct symptoms, but come in the form of lassitude, loss of appetite, acking muscles and joints, dull headaches, pains in the back, stomach and chest, sour stomach, recurring signs of cold, irregular pulsations of the heart, add frequent dizziness. If neglected, these symptoms are certain to run into chronic kidney and liver or Bright's oisease, from which there is sure to be a great amount of agony and only one means of escape, wbicn is by the use of Warner's Safe Cure. Tbe importance of taking this great remedy upon the slightest appearance of any of the above symptoms cannot be too strongley impressed upon the minds of all readers who desire to escape death and pain and prolong life with all its pleasures and blessings.
