At Mrs. Shoddy's.
We were a party of four—two ladies and two gentlemen—who, in.cousequence of receiving a gold-lettered invitation to Mrs. Shoddy's grand reception, had on the appointed evening proceeded in state to her showy residence in the Fifth Avenue, New York—which avenue, by-the-way, is believed by "the Shoddy" to lead to heaven direct.
Our "dressing-room" experiences were peculiar, and suggestive of strange scenes to follow but being, as we believed, well endowed with the repose of the Vere de Veres, we descended toward the scene of action, with a tranquil consciousness of being in every way equal to the occasion. At-the very foot of the stairway we were accosted by no less personages than the hostess her-elf and her 'grown up' daughter. The latter looked pale and anxious but the mother, gorgeous in an intensely blue slik, and a huge coronet of pink and purple artificial flowers, evidently felt no misgivings. Both stared at us unconditionally. Suddenly a light illumed the countenance of the elder lady, as she broke forth in a loud, emphatic tone
Well, I declare! Mrs. .Davis and, Mr. Ellis! How do you do? And Miss Ellis ghid to see, I'm sure but the lights and every thing dazzles me so I don't hardly knoiv people. Miry, my dear, this is Mr. Ellis and Mrs. Davis, both kind friends of your Pa, and Mr. Ellis's daughter." (Aside to me:) WZ/odid you say the other gentleman was Oh yes! Mr. Stevens! Glad to see you, sir, you may depend. Young gentlemen are so scarce. Couldn't nardlyget up the party for it. The war, you see, takes the best of 'em off. Oh, excuse me—ha! ha! I didn't mean
offense! But every
young gentleman at a party counts one— don't they Miry?" "Lor'! Ma!" simpered Miss Shoddy, blushing violently. Here Mr. Stevens, always superbly master of himself, gracefully hastened to the rescue, and in a moment Myra was laughing the girlish laugh which, thank Heaven! even Shoddy can not make unmusical. "Dear me!" sighed the matron pathetically, without offering to allow us to
ass into the drawing rooms, "they've pouring in thick as sirup all the evening! I'm so exhausted I can't hardly stand up."
Then followed a painful silence. Through the arched rose-wood doorway we could see the gaily dressed throng within—a sea of blue, pink and white, in which frantic creatures in black broadcloth and white neck-ties seemed to be insanely bobbing and whirling. Suddenly the music ceased. The waves heaved violently a moment, then parted like a Dead.^ea, crested with gauze and gossamer, while an army of Israelites, bearing silver trays laden with ices, passed slowly. through the temporary opening, ''Graoious!" exclaimed the hostess at last, with an apologetic start. "I ought to take you in. Miry," she added, nodding her head sideways toward us as she spoke, "you must introduce them." *"0h, mother," wTas the sotlovoce reply, "I can't do it—I feel too used up." "Yes you must"—very austerely—((J shan't do it,"
The refraotory daughter was conquered. "Well, mother," she replied in a stage whisper, "I'll do it all together, but I can't introduce 'em separate."
Thus encouraged, we humbly followed the young Jady, and, after being presented in a most novel and remarkable manner to the staring mermaids and mermen, we found ourseb'es slowly drifting toward an anohorage in the glittering saloon.
Young faces were there, racjutnt with intense enjoyment older faces, with startled, puzzled look upon them, as though the unaccustomed scene wrought more anxiety than pleasure hard faces varnished with a mastic smile soft, uninterpretable faces, which were either saintly or horribly vicious and fuces without any expression at all.
We hadNiuite lost sight of our amiable hostess, and were contemplating a dignified retreat to the dressing-rooms above, when we saw that lady bearing toward us under full sail. There were costly laces floating about liy expansive shoulders, and glittering bracelets upon her roseate armsstill there was something so grotesque in her manner and appearance that we were forced to risk the Scylla of an alarming gravity in order not to fall into the Chary bdis of an uncontrollable smile. A pang of rebuke smote me, however, when her ladyship, in a tone of genuine interest, whispered: ^You Jqol^ Hiijd o' lonesome, Mr% Dais 'fraid you ain't eiyoyin' yourself?" "Oh yes, indeed," 1 answered, with the ardent imbecility with which persons usually prrpetrate social fibs. "Ain't you danced?" (with a look that said, "If people dare to^slight you here, just let me know.") "Thank you! I really Would prefer—" "Nonsense! Come along! I ain't agoing to have
110
company. I want to introduce you to a gentleman from Washington—monstrous riob (she added in ftn intense whisper) made a hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars in the last two months!"
It was in vain to resist. I remember a huge Titan in dancing-master attire—a flabby, villainous countenance—diamonds flashing from the centre of a wall of ruffled linen—an atmosphere heavy With pomade—and an avalanche of "Excuse me, marms," following sundry accidents to my attire, and innumerable Jj,e»rt-rendlng desertions and escapades
during the progress of "The Lancers. Beyond this my impressions are vague and unsatisfactory. In fact? there are manv things
connected
sion
that
I
with the occa^
would "willingly let die," not
excepting the monstrous rich gentleman himself. Before the evening was over I found irvself in a smaller apartment, gorgeous ly"furmshed, and rendered truly remar liable by the abominable, showily-framed paintings which nearly covered the walls A human quartette was seated upon the sofa, a la Ken wig, and it needed no sec ond look to convince me that I saw the four children of our hostess. Femininetreble and masculine base were represented there in equal parts but that effect was purely a matter of faith, as nothing in their faces betrayed that they had ever uttered a sound.
Soon the mother appeared. "Lor' Mrs. Davis, you here? Well, I had to get out of the parlors for a minnit—Wa so suffocating there! This is our family set ting-room. Ellen, stick in your shoulder, miss!" (This last was a dramatic aside, directed to the sofa department.)
I see you're looking at the paintin's. Well, we have got lots of them, that's certain. I tell Mr. Shoddy we'll have a picture gallery before we know it—ha! ha!—but that's nothing—for the man's bound to have everything that money can buy—" (Here a radiant, satisfied ripple of expression ran across the quartette upon the sofa.)
I tried to say something, but alas! the allusion to the possible art-gallery had jeopardized my gravity to such an extent that I could only cough pathetically.
This'ere big picture," pursued Mr Shoddy, "is a landscape—a Jaudscape by —chjldren who is this landscape by?"
Mr. Benson," they all answered in a breath, closing their mouths instantly like four traps. "Yes, Mr. Benson. He's a Western man. Mrs. Davis, and don't charge more'n a quarter what these New York painters ask. He paints pretty, tho.' Ain't that white fence two natural she added, letting her head drop sideways with its weight of admiration.
Alas! the fence tvas too natural, but I did not trust myself to say so. I merely bowed and stared vacantly at an ideal work representing, as I suspected, Cupid and Psyche, since the blue damsel depicted therein balanced a huge butterfly upon her shoulder, and her youthful companion had the inevitable wings and quiver of the mischievous God of Love.
ll'ihat
picture," broke forth Mrs. Shod
dy, standing in superb disdain beside me, 'aint my taste—Mr. Shoddy bought it. It's a fancy piece you see—Cupid and— children! what did your Pa say was the name of this picture? "Cupid and Per-aitch!" answered the two elder ones simultaneously "Oh yes, Cupid and Fersitch. But Mrs. Davis, you must look at our portraits. We've had one artist for a year past dong all our family. Here's Mr. Shoddy and me. You may think the yellow gloves in my picture ain't mates—anyone might—but they are the artist was bound to put one of 'em 'in shadder' in spite of all I could say. This is Danel'.s picture (sit up strait, Dan'el, and let go your sister's sash) it's like him, all but the hair. The naughty boy" (lookseverely at Daniel) "burned off one side of his curls last week, and we had to cut off the rest. Here's our youngest, Tommy—the end one on the sofa there— most beautiful boy! Always just as sassy and lively as you see him in the picture—ain'tIt like him, Mrs. Davis?"
Shade of l'olonious, pity me! Tommy was a blue, uioist-skinned little fellow, who looked as if he were in a state of chronic-somnambulism. What could I do but falter, "Very like," without venturing to take a second look at the original "Mr. Benson said he never seen a harder child to paint," resumed Mrs. Shoddy "it was so difficult to get his expression." (Alack! I should think it would have been very difficult.) "He took him at first with only.one shoe on, and the other layin' on the carpet but I wasn't going to have a child of mine lookin' like that so I made Mr. Benson alter it quick. I told him to just change the shoe on the carpet to a kitten, or something or that kind, and then to put good Balmorals on the poor child. It's bad enough to have your young ones looking like wild about the house, without having .their likeness took all in a muss. This isKaty. "I had Ellen here," continued Mr3. Shoddy (halting before a remarkably pigeon-breasted specimen of High art), "taken correct in every thing but her chest. I ordered Mr. Benson to make that high, because the poor child is so awful flat that it would only worry her father and me to see it hangin' before us all the time. Besides, Ellen's going to Dr. Lewises wliat-you-call-it? Children! what's the name of Dr. Lewises place?" "Gym-naz-jum!" replied the sofa, promptly. "Ah yes, gym-naz-jum—that's it. Well, she's going there reg'iar after this, and Dr. Lewis says it'll soon fetch her chest out perfect." "Here is something now that you must see" (pointing to an execrably painted waterfall, resembling a combination of green calves'-foot jelly and gingerbread).
This picture is my daughter Miry's work—ain't It beautiful? But do you know her real talent is Jigger-painting— that's her talent! I showed Mr. Benson (the one that does all our pictures, except the frames—they come from Goupil's)—I showed him this picture, and told nim that Miry's teacher said she had great talent for painting, and, says he, 'Madam, if your daughter has a talent for art, it must be ior figger-paintin'—he told me just from lookin' at that waterfall!" she added, triumphantly. "Yes, Mr. Benson being a painter, could put his finger right on Miry's talent —'it must be, madam/says he, 'it must oe it's—' Heavens! Ellen Ann! catch Dan'el 5"
This startling perrtration was caused by an eccentric movement of tho child Daniel, who, having fallen asleep upright upon the sof$, was announcing, by a preliminary pantomime, his intention of shortly precipitating himself upon the floor, Fortunately Ellen Ann was egual to the emergency, "Dan'el's" precious nose was saved, and.the youth restored, to partial wakefulness by means of a brisk material shaking, "Gracious!" exclaimed Mr. Shoddy, becoming suddenly conscious that, though art may be "long, time is fleeting," "I ought to be in the parlor with the company. What will folks think of me? ^ear me! what a bother!" So( saying, the lady vanished in a glimmer of "blue, purple andfrink.
Those last signiflcent words echoed in my brain again and again that night, during the wakeful, hours that followed my introduction into "Shoddy" society, oor Mrs. Shoddy! what will folks think her What a bother! what a bother!

GOING AHEAD !—It is
with sincere pleasure that we notice from time to time, the improvements that present themselves to the observer, in this, our beautiful city. We can boast of our factories, machine shops, iron works, &c., and last, but not least, of our merchants. Everything for use or luxury, and for every station in life can be procured as good and as cheap here as in the larger cities, and we are glad to notice from the general tone of the trade that our merchants and manufacturers are well pleased with the patronage bestowed on them. One house in particular we would speak of at this time. The New York Dry Goods Store, No. 73 Main street, presents at the present time prominent attractions. The proprietors. Messrs. Wittenberg, Ruschaupt & Co., have been engaged in business in this city for about three months, and by strict attention to business, fair dealing, and by always keeping a large and well selected stock, they have gathered around them a large circle of customers, who, as we daily notice, crowd the New York Store, and keep the salesmen busy dealing out every kind of merchandize. Their success is not only attributed to a perfect know! edge of their business, but also to their mode of buying and -selling their goods. Being supplied with abundant capital all their purchases are made for cash and from first hands, every change in the market is taken advantage of by their experienced buyers, and when their goods are placed upon their counters on sale, they are offered at the lowest possible margin upon cost. A regular system of percentage is adopted by this House, the benefit of purchases below market value is thereby always given to the customers, and by having

NEW YORK STOKE.—We made a hasty call at this large dry goods establishment on Wednesday. Messrs. Wittenberg, Ruschaupt & Co., occupy the elegant store room, 73 Main street Their handsome banner, hung in the middle of the street, indicates the location the full length of Main street. The first floor of the building is used as a retail room and the second and third floors for notions and duplicate stock. In the spring they will open out a stock of carpet, wall paper, and shades. Their present stoek of J)ress Goods, including Merinos, Empress Cloths, Black Alpaca, and also lower and cheaper grades of Dress Goods, is most complete. In Shawls they have the best domestic manufacture of Shawls, «fec., and a very full stock of imported Paisleys, Broche, &c., which they offer for sale at low prices. They have also a full line of domestics. To enumerate their stock in full would be an endless task.
Mr. Charles Wittenberg, the head of this house, is one of the most popular dry goods men in this Stat?. He learned the rudiments of the dry goods business with Mr. M. W. Williams, at the Old Prairie City Store, iil this city, 18 years ago. Mr. Fred. Ruschaupt, has been long experienced in the business. Mr. Harmon Schweitzer, the other member of the firm, has been long and fav orably known to our citizens, having been for 12 years a leading salesman in the house of W. S.

all are treated alike, all share the same advantages in buying dry goods, and truly justice is done to all!
The New York Store has become one of the most popular institutions of the place. If good goods at low prices, kind treatment and fair dealings, can build up a trade, the New York Store will take the rank among the largest business houses of Terre Haute.
THE Newr York Store is located at No. 73, Main street, near the Court House Square.
From the Terre Haute Jouri:al,Dec.18, '09.
Trade lias now fully begun with our merchants. All are busy as bees to get their goods in order and ready for sale. One of the establishments so engaged is the New York Dry Goods Store, No. 73, Main street. Their force of salesmen has been hard at work for the past few days in opening and marking the new purchases just leceived and which were bought at the great forced sales in the Eastern market. To look at all the muslins, flannels,
prints,
shawls, dress goods,
furs, etc., besides the smaller articles usually kept in in a large house of this kind, will certainly be to buy, for as regards prices, as we know from personal observation, they are certainly the lowest we ever heard of.
The erne price system, as adopted by this house, works like a charm. There is no overcharging, no trying to make an extra dime. The dealings at the New York Store are fair and square, and every attention is shown toall their patrons. It is the constant study of the proprietors to place before their customers any and all goods at the lowest rates and by charging the lowest per centage upon the cost of the goods, the customer receives the direct benefit of purchases made under the market value. It is a well known fact that the New York Store has been offering unusual inducements to buyers since it was opened. The recent heavy declines in all kinds of dry goods, however, enables them to sell goods still cheaper, as their facilities for buying are unequaled.

Opinions of the Press. From the Sullivan Democrat
THE NEW YORK STORE, AT TERRE HAUTE.—This establishment has now one of the finest stocks of goods even, brought to that city. Their buyer is evidently a man of taste and well acquainted with the wants of the people. The stock comprises every article in the Dry Goods line from the most substantial to the richest dress goods. The business in every department is systematically and honorably conducted, there is one price only for every article, and all customers are treated with the best attention and courtesy. We predict for the New York Sjore a large trade, for people will buy where the best inducements are offered.
NEW YORK STORE, 73 Main Street near Court House Square.
From the Prairie Beacon and Valley Blade. Visiting Terre Haute a few days ago, we, of course, dropped into the New York Store, and were agreeably surprised to meet our old friend Harmon Schweitzer, now a partner in this establishment. We have seen some big things in the way of Dry Goods Stores, but the New York Store looms up above them all, in quality and quantity of goods, displayed taste and systematical arrangement and general management. From the crowds of eager buyers that fill this House, we must judge that the proprietors offer extra inducements to their customers, as the accommodating clerks were busy as bees in cutting off and putting up all kinds of nierchandise. We say, success to the New York Store, and the one price system.

Ox THE ''RAMPAGE'''NOTESOF TRAVEL."—On Wednesday morning, 8th inst., we got aboard Beat tie's "Lightning Express" bound for "the East." Arrived at Merom about 10:30 A. M., when we "changed hacks" for Sullivan, at which place we arrived just in time for the train tor Terre Haute. Arrived at the latter named place about 4 p. M., and put up at the Terre Haute House, of which that prince of good fellows, Capt. T. C. Buntin, is proprietor. We went "down town," and and stopped in at the "New York JStOre," of Wittenberg, Ruschaupt & Co., where we found quite an array of clerks, both ladies and gentlemen, busy waiting upon the throng of customers in the store, and anxious to secure a portion a portion of the good and cheap goods they have on sale. It strikes us very forctbly that this establishment is the store of the city. The immense variety of all kinds of Dry Goods draws buyers from all parts of the country, and the proprietors are determined to supply all their customers at the lowest prices. Try them. —Robinson Argus.

From the Hoosier State.
THERE IS one House in the beautiful city of Terre Haute that will not fail to attract the attention ot any one passing down Main street toward the ola Court House, a new style of sign, a neat flag is displayed across the street, and informs the citizen as well as the stranger, that here the New York Store, the Dry Goods house of the place, is to be found. We enter. A busy throng is presented to our view. The farmer, the mechanic, the richly dressed lady all seem engaged in the same pursuit, and the obliging clerks are displaying the rich dress goods and shawls, the comfortable looking flannels, and blankets, muslins, prints, toweling, table-cloths and the thousand other articles kept in a large house like this. Satisfaction is expressed on every countenance, and all seem pleased with the bargains just made. The one price system, cheap goods and large stock, is building up a trade for the New York Store that the proprietors may well be proud of.

BUILDING UP A TKADE.—With most men it takes not only capital but years to build up a trade and make the investment pay, and there are very few whose efforts are crowned with complete success, particularly in the Dry Goods line. It requires peculiar talent and tact, even where a sufficient amount of capital is backing it and strengthening its spinal column, to gain the coveted goal and to arrive at the desired point, but here and there a case occurs, that is so marked th:it no observer can fail to notice it, and it gives us pleasure to notice the successful operations of Messrs. Wittenberg, Ruschaupt & Co., in building up a trade at their New Yook Store, No. 73 Main street, Terre Haute, Ind. The one price system and the firm determination to sell Dry Goods cheap, a large and well selected stock, together with polite treatment of all their customers have made the New York Store one of the most popular Houses in Terre Haute, and built up a trade for the proprietors, agreeably exceeding their expectations.
