A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

OUT OF THE ORDINARY,

Not many persons in Terre Haute realize how great a blow was given one of our leading industries—the flouring mills—when the reciprocity laws were repealed by the new tarifi law. Our flouring mills bad built up a big business with Cuba and the West Indies, und*r the reciprocal relations existing, but when these were done away with their trade In that direotiun was ruined. The Cuban tarlffon flour—when we refuse to admit certain Cuban products free—is $4.75 per barrel, and this aided to the freight and original cost, rules American flour out of the Cuban market, because Spanish flour is admitted free to Cuba, and however inferior it may be to our own, Che difference in price Is so great as to practically bar American flour out of the market. Flour is admitted duty free to Spain, however, and the paradoxical condition exists, of American flour being permitted to compete with the

Span­

ish product in its own laud, but ruled out in a Spanish dependency, Cuba. A strange thing is noted in connection with the export flour business in this -city, and that is the different sized sacks required for different countries. One would imagine that the sacks would be uniform ih size and weight, but this is not the case. Export flour to Norway is put up in 110 lb sacks, to England" 140 lbs., to Cuba and the West Indies, 200 ahd 260 lbs,, and to Belginm 220lbs. The work of making out bills of landing, invoices and hypothecation papers for a shipment of flour is no small task, as they are made in the values of the country to which the shipment is made, and a man is required to be "up" on foreign monetary systems. Thus, for instance shipments to Belgium would be valued in francs, to Cuba in doubloons and pesos, to Norway in crowns, to Spain in pesetas, and to England in pounds.

A few nights ago as otteof the night trains on the Big Four was just about to pull out for the east, a gentleman rushed up to the night ticket agent at the Sixth street depot, E. B, Hamilton, and explained to him that he was G. J. Grammer, formerly of the E. A T. H.M and that as he had misplaced his pocket book, containing his railroad passes and money, he would like to get a ticket to Cleveland, for which he would send the money as soon as he reached his destination. The ticket agent bad never seen Mr. Orammer, and for an Instant he thought It was perhaps an eftort to ••work" him for a ticket In the name of a well-known railroad official. It was a time, however, for quick action and few words and he made up his mind that lie would take chances on the gentlemen being correct in his representations, and gave him the ticket, for which a receipt was given in the name of G. J.

Grammer.

The train was moving when the stranger boarded It, and after It was too late to reconsider his action, Mr. Hamilton more than half-believed that he had had a confidence game played on him. When he went home the next morning he left a note for E. E. Sooth, the general Agent, enclosing the reoelpt, and explained that if the signature proved to be other than genuine, he (Hamilton) was personally out of pocket to the extent of a ticket to Cleveland. As soon as Mr. South laid eye* on the receipt he recognised the signature as that of the real G. J. Grammer, and the next day brought a nice letter from that gentleman, thanking the ticket agent for helping him out of an unpleasant dilemma, and accompanying It was the prloe of the ticket. Not every man would have been as accommodating under the circumstance#, and Mr. Hamilton made up his mind, before the letter that he looked for had arrived, that If It developed that he had been worked, here*

A oertain well-known young lady, who does clerical work In her father's Main street officio, has a reputation as a practical joker, but she had an expert enoe this week that Is likely to cure her. Coming down Seventh street the other day she saw standing in front of the post' office, a phaeton and horse that she thought belonged to a young married friend, and she took a seat in the vehicle, aud gathered up the lines, with the intention of driving off when her friend came out of the postofflce. She sat there folly a half hour, but her friend came not. Presently an old gentleman, who from his garb was a farmer, oame down the steps, walked to the edge of the sidewalk, and looking a trifle surprised, said to her In a not very gentle voice,"W-e-1-1!" She answered him in about the same tone, whloh brought from him a question as to what she was doing there.- Very sweetly she answered him, that she was waiting for the owner of the phaeton, a friend of her's, who was In the postofflce, "Well, I guess not," said Mr. Farmer, "that's my rig, and you'd better hustle out as I want to go." If the postofflce bad fallen on her she couldn't have been more completely stunned, but it dldu't take her long to recover, and the way she got out of the vehicle and disappeared around the oorner was a caution, as well as an argument for athletic exeroises for females. The story was too good to keep, but when she tells it she adds that her days for practical jokes are past and gone.

Charles Bowers, the North Carolina boy, who has created such a sensation about town by his remarkable feats of memory, is stopping with attorney A. A. Beecher, who is trying to get him a place to work. The boy multiplies, adds, divides and subtracts more rapidly by memory than the quickest accountant can with his pencil. For instance, if you ask how many inches there are in seventy-three miles, he will give you the correct number before you begin your first multiplication on paper. By some outlandish process, wblob he can't explain, if you give him the day of any month of any year, he can tell you the day of the woek on which it fell, always correotly, as proven by personal knowledge and reference to a calendar. He is a devout Christian, and can quote the bible and Sunday school texts, etc., for years back, with the correct book, verse, etc. Mr. Beecher took him to see "Country Circus." at the opera house, Monday night, it being the first show be bad ever attended, although be is nineteen years old. The sight of the girls in tights rather astounded him. and after the per formance was concluded, Mr. Beecher asked him what he thought of it. He liked it very well, he said, adding, "but I don't see bow this is going to help the cause of Christ along."

The exhibition of Fancy Goods and Toys for the Holidays, at the Fair, Is probably the most complete one ever made here. Mr. Rossell has fairly outdone all efforts of previous years, and one stands in opeu-inoutliQd astonishment as he views the wonderful display made of things appropriate to this holiday season. There are Toys of every known description, variety and kind, Fanoy articles, Household and Kitchen Utensils, suitable for sensible presents, and—but it would be impossible to specify alt that can be seen there. The people evidently appreciate the efforts made to please them, for when a Mail man visited The Fair, yesterday, he was compelled to elbow his way through acrowd that thronged the place. It was noticeable, too, that every person who passed out the store carried a package, strong evidenoe that the unusual bargains are appreciated by the visitors. The lime is ripe now to make your purchases here before the rush of the last few days. You can find arty thing and everything in the way of Holiday Presents at Thet Fair, and at prions that wiil please you.
