NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS OX MATTERS AROUND TOWN.

:hat illustrious ex-resident of Terre H&lfihfcA. K. Gutting, having felled 8ignallj%n his efforts to embroil, the United States in a war with Mexico, an•other ex-Terre Hautentot is laying his plans to see if he cannot succeed in doling what Cutting failed todo. Dispatches from Albuquerque, New Mexico, state that Captain Edward Friend, of the El Paso Riflos, is in the former city recruiting a company to join him in a filibustering expedition into Mexico. This is none other than our own "Ed" Friend, the organizer of the McKeen Cadets, who has, since his departure from Terre Haute, been filling a very large niche in the history of the southwest. There nevor v.-as a better-hearted man lived that Ed Friend. His very worst enemy is an individual by the name of Ed Friend. lie is as visionary as Cutting, and together they will make a great team. When the Mexicans hear that Friend and Cutting have formed an alliance, offensive and defensive, they will lie liko the coon that met Davy Crockett —they will "come down." According to the dispatches referred to the scheme is to capture threoof thenorthoro Mexican •States and convert them into a Republic. "When Capt. Friond—who isn't a very desperate character—gets on a full suit of regimentals, with a big p4ume in his helmet and a sword dangling at his heel und is under the benign influence of what tho "boys" are pleased to term "a hundred dollar load," lie will feel big •enough to cut out three or four Mexican States bodily, and throw them over his shoulder into tho Pacific ocean. Lieut. 'Gen. Friond, commanding tho armies of tho Republic of Northern Mexico, tho eyes of your Terro ILauto friends are upon you.

It has boon suggested as one of the possible outoomos of tho coming fight for position of Senator, that John E. Lamb may bo pushed into that position. 'The only way in which such a thing could eoino to pass would bo in theevont of a dead-lock, necessitating tho oppointment of a Senator by Gov. Gray. It is a vory easy thing for tho influential friends of Lamb to mako it appear that ho has been a very much abused individual, and that ho is deserving of all that can bo done for him. Gov. Gray, in the deadlock, would not bo over-zealous to appoint Ex-Sonator McDonald, and there is no telling what might come to pass. This story was on tho streets here this weok, and occasioned no little talk. It was sprung on a prominont "kicker," and the ghastly smile which spread over his face was amusing to see. Tho idea of a man so badly beaten for Congressman being oloctod or appointed Sonntor was too much for him. It is possible, however, that no such a sadness will bo brought upon tho kickers.

It is not often that Republicans jollifying over a victory go out of their "way to soronado Democrats, yot an event •occurred Thursday night when the leaders of the Opposition wore given a soronado by the Republicans. Dr. Swafford, Dr. Roberts, A. Z. Foster, W. R. Hunter and I)r. Van Valxah oach made speeches explaining that they workod against I^amb in tho interest of good govornernmont. The spectacle of Democrats receiving a serenade from Republicans becauso they encompassed tho defeat of a Democratic candidate is not very pleasant to many of that pursnasion, and those few who have lived in hope of seeing tho broach in tho Democratic ranks closed up, have by this time about come to tho conclusion that such an event is far, vory far, in the future. There will be political slaughter from now on, and Democrats who led in tho fight for Lamb Und those who marshaled the forces in tho fight against him can expect many little squabbles should they ask political preferment. _______

Already this has been commenced in tho attempt to oust City Attorney T. A. Foley, who takes his office on Friday next. Ho' had chosen for one of his deputies an anti-Lamb man from the Sixth ward, who had done good work fr him. But tho edict went forth to the ©JTect that a man who voted against l»amb was no Democrat, and was deserving of no office under a Democratic official. It places the new Sheriff in a peculiar situation. It will hurt him If he appoints the man ho had selected, and it will hurt him If he doesn't. So, between the two horns of the dilemma he is not so pleasantly situated. The pathway a man treads in reaching a political office is not a pleasant one altogether, and when he finally reaches the goal he finds no bed of roses awaiting him there. He scarcely hears the result of the official count declared before he begins to look about fixing up his yJtences for a second nomination.

The alarming frequency of the flwsSlif the past week has aroused a suspicion that "fire-bugs" have boon engaged in their dangerous practice*, with which are too familiar. A man w$*o will deliberately destroy the property of another In this manner is about as lowdown and worthless as oae can imagine, and hi deserving of little leniency—end should one of that class be caught in the act one of thcee nights, he would probably remember it for many day*—that is, If hi* memory did not totally desert him. The police are on the lookout for the incendiaries, and if one of them should be caught his punishment will not be slight, _____

A pretty girl came Into 'a }ustW» court this week awl wanted a young

man fined for attempting to kiss her. She told a very straight story, but the young man denied it. The testimony was very conflicting, but the justice discharged the defendant, probably think ing that the young man who would neglect a chance to kiss a pretty girl was not much of a man after alL

When a parcel of women bring their family differences into a squire's office for adjustment, he needs all the traditional qualifications of a Philadelphia lawyer to make head or tail of it. Squire Slaughter had an opportunity this week to preside as arbiter in a family disagreement of this kind. He thought of life being so short and fined them two dollars all around,

The police force of this city is certainly "solid." It weighs 3,420 pounds—an average of nearly. 180 pounds to eaoh man. §g§ 1||

Jacob W. Miller's large stable, in the rear of his residence on north Eighth street, was destroyed by fire Wednesday evening.

The Rigler will case is to be opened up again—J.udge Mack havinggranted a new trial in the suit of Elizabeth Rigley vs. Stephen, Adair and others.

Five night fires in stables this week lead to the belief that fire bugs are at work, and the police should have a watchful eye for the incondiaries.

Aggie Spence, a notorious Second street woman, tired of the bad life she is living made a fruitless attempt to end it with.morphine Monday night.

Centenary church is enjoying a revival. Services are held nightly and several have been added to the membership. Tho Gorman Methodists on north Fifth street are also having an interestitg revival.

Rev. C. B. Allen, living on Fruit Ridge avenue, east of tho city, was called to his front gate, last Saturday evening by a couple desiring to do something romantic Seated in a buggy wore Aaron Felling and Clara Nelson, who were then and there inado man and wife by the obliging parson.

A considerable grist has been turned into the divorce mill this week. In tho Circuit court Mary E. Roush has entered suit for divoive from Win, Roush. In the Superior court Robert Brennan has filled a complaint for divorce from Rebecca Brennan. In tho same court the case of John C. Foster against Amolia Foster has been entered upon the docket.

On Monday evening, at tho First Presbyterian -church, Mr. Everett, of New York will begin a series of interesting and instructive lectures on health, strength, grace and beauty. The first lecture will be free. Tho Boston Traveller says "Mr. Everett's Lectures are like his charming book—Health Fragments. Read it, hoar him, and you will be convinced that one man at least has found his work and is doing it well."

A Vigo county couple who aroused a justlco from his slumbers and insisted on boing marriod by that official while ho was still in bed, will go on record as being the most determined of many to bo wed. But the outside townships arc to bo hoard from yet, and wo may yet learn of a couple who, determined to l)oat tho record, will awaken Judge Mack some night, intent on securing a divorce. Nothing is impossible to. Vigo county record breakers.

Of tho newly elected county officers coroner Haworth was first to enter upon his duties, his term commencing last Thursday. The next will be Frank Tuttle, as {surveyor, next Thursday, and on the same day Prosecutor Henry will enter upon his second term, Doug. Weoks goes in as sheriff the following day. Snndford C. Henderson's term as commissioner begins the 6th of the coming month. Thou there will be no changes until next year. Frank Armstrong takes charge of tho auditor's oftlce on 6th of March, James Cox enters upon his second term as treasurer August 22d, Levi Hammerly goes in as recorder the 1st of November following, while John Warren has to wait two years for the office of county clerk, his term not beginning until the 2nd of November, 1888.

Tho Mail will shout for Mayor Kolat-m if he will follow the example of Mayor Denny, of Indianapolis, in dealing with Sunday drunkenness. Last Monday morning when the usual Sunday grist was brought in, Mayor Denny said: "It has seemed to me to be a mockery of justice, to sit here week after week, taking bread out of the mouth# of Innocent women and children by fining men for being drunk on Sunday, when the guiltier pnrtlpn who sell them liquor are not molested. I shall reserve the right to do as I think proper tn other cases of the character before me, but as I view the matter now. I feel justified in releasing the defendants on commitments allow I nit them to return to their families and work, Instead of going to the work-house, as they no doubt would, If payment of their tines should he enforced. When an eflbrt shall be made to

f»unlshthisclass

the men who violate the law by sellng to of unfortunates on Sunday, then it will look more like doing equal and exact Justice to punish sueh men as these before me for their olR»n«es.**

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

AMUSEMENT NOTES

A press of other and unexpected duties this morning rendered it impossible to speak of the remarkable performance last night at Naylor's opera house as we should delight to have done. Shakespeare's grandest love tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was probably never before given so perfectly and in such splendor in a town the size of Terre Haute. Lucky are we to be on the great highway of travel from the east to the west. Evansville on Thursday night had to be content with "The Honeymoon," given by a small portion of the company, it being impossible to transport the scenery and so will Lafayette to-night where the company plays before going to St. Louis to which point the scenery is shipped today.

Words of praise only belong to comment on Margeret Mather's rendition of Juliet, so full of grace, tenderness and exquisite feeling, get not lacking in force when the demands of the play required it. The support was all that could be asked, particularly Frederick Paulding as Romeo, Milnes Levick as Mercutio, Harry Eytinge as Capulet and Mrs. Jamelson as the Nurse. But as remarked, we cannot give tho time to deserving mention. Manager Hill has the thanks of this community for giving us this magnificent entertainment, and will be remembered. So will Manager Dickson, Manager Nay lor and Mr. Haman, his assistant, for helping to bring about the change in play. That their efforts were appreciated was testified by one of the finest audiences ever assembled in the opera house.

On Monday evening John T. Raymond will present his latest play, "A Woman Hater." To a public accustomed to associate Mr. Raymond exclusively with Mark Twain's famous character, "Colonel Sellers," it is difficult to conceive in advance that Raymond can do himself, or his fame as a comedian, justice in any other play. But the St. Paul Globe says that in "The Woman Hater" this illusion is dispelled. The play is full of very ludicrous situations, and just such situations as best bring into play that grotesque humor und wonderful facial expression for which Mr. Raymond is noted. He delineates the character of a nervous, blundering, good-natured old man, who has passed on to the shady side of life with the reputation of being an intense woman-hater, but in whom is suddenly developed the passion of love. In an insane desire to get married he soon finds himself complicated with engagements to three different widows. The unique and terrible situations from that time on until he marries the one of his choice, and then by mistake is switched off to an insane asylum before he gets started on his bridal tour, give an audience ample opportunity to laugh until their sides are sore. "Kerry Gow," with John Murphy at the head of a good dramatic company will be presented on Thursday evening. Mr. Murphy,as is well known,is a faith-1 ful delineator of Irish wit, Irish manliess and Irish patriotism. The play will be splendidly mounted the blacksmith scene especially, being true to life. It is full of the keenest repartee, and, as most of our readers know, it has some telling situations, and Mr. Murphy, while he shines in comedy, does ample justice to the pathetic scenes, and likewise sings several old songs to a tuneful, tender voice.

W. H. Powers beautiful drama, "The Ivy Loaf," will be presented at Naylor's next Saturday evening.

Minnio Maddern will be here one week from Monday night and Fritz Emmett the following evening. Theater goers cannot complain of the attractions at Naylor's this season.

He sadly mnsed In accents low, As in the theater he sat, "Why is it that the smallest girl

Will always wear the biggest hat? The dresses of a burlesque actress are described in a local paper as "poems, and very short poems at that."

Mme. Gerster has become insane in consequence, it is reported, of loss of voice after her recent confinement.

Helen Tracy, who comes with John T. Raymond on Monday evening has the reputation of being the finest looking woman on the stage.

There are over three hundred and fifty companies now "on the road" in this country—an increase of nearly one hundred over the number traveling at this time last year.

The withdrawal of Newton Gotthold from the company controlled by Lawrence Barrett leaves that gentleman in rather a tight place for a leading man. He likes pliable men around him, men who will do as they are told not as they think. The trouble between Gotthold and Barrett, somebody wittily says, was Incompatibility of temper.

Wilson Barrett makes op for Hamlet as a prince of twenty. He argues that if Hamlet had been of age he would have ascended the throne. The various references to his youth in the text the allusion to his returning to school at Wittenberg the fact of placing Hamlet at thirty, would make his mother at least fifty, and thereby render her amuor with Hamlet's uncle, improbable, are all cited by the distinguished actor in support of his ingenious theory.

This idyllic story comes from Chicago. A lady noticeably dressed and wearing a bonnet shaped like a watermelon entered the opera house and took a seat in the center. Experienced play-goers expected trouble from the hat, but as soon as the curtain went up the lady removed the ill-shaped thing Mid held it in her lap. Then when the curtain fell she replaced her bonnet, taking if off when the second act came on, and thus repeating until the end of the play. What then? Why, a delegation of gentlemen met her

in the foyer and informed her that there was a carriage waiting for her, and when she got into it She found a beautiful floral display and several little presents, and that night the delegation went down to her home, on Prairie avenue, and serenaded her.
