THE entire population of Terre Haute turned out Wednesday to watch an individual perform on a tight-rope, and much disgust was expressed because he didn't break his neck.—Indianapolis Journal.

WHAT TO DO.—An old maid friend of ours wants to know what is the best course to pursue if you pass along by a front gate at 10 o'clock at night, and see a young couple "and hear a smack like a lior.-e pulling his hoof out of the mud." The proper course to pursue is to go right along about your regular business, and let nature take its course, and all will be well.
TIIE REASON WHY.—Long courtships are thought unadvisable, for many reasons. One of these is that the lovers get tired of each other. But why do they get tired of each other? Because they allow their intercourse to become monotonous they go on making extravagantly fond speeches till they are tired of hearing them or, gazing at each other hours, till they at length find out each other's defects, and disprove the old saying, that love is blind. They also forget that love should be the sauce, not the food, of life and so it happens, that ere long they are not "love-sick," but "sick of love."
THEATRE COMIQUE.—An unusually interesting programme was presented at the Theater Comique last evening, and was performed in the creditable manner that has characterized every entertainment given by the present excellent variety troupe under the able management of Mr. Wentworth, and Mr. Raynor as stage director. Walter now has a troupe that is an honor to his institution, and well worthv the patronage of a variety theaterloving public. To-night a complimentary benefit to Mr. Wentworth will be given by his troupe, at their own suggestion. The entertainment will take place at Dowiing Hall, and will be given by the full company under the immediate management of Mr. Raynor, stage director.
"TIIE MATTOON' TKI-WEEKLY JOURNAL."—We acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the Mattoon Tri- Weekly Journal. We have been looking for this sheet some days with no little anxiety, anticipating a paper representing the enterprise and thrift of the prosperous little city of Mattoon and we admit that one most sanguine anticipations are fully realized by its general appearance and real merits. As we expected of its able and genial editor and proprietor, Tom. Wood, he is making it one of the spiciest and most readable papers in the country. No paper that comes into our sanctum will be more welcome than the Mattoon Tri- Weekly Journal and may it prosper and continue prospering as will the city, and we will venture the assertion thai we will have the pleasure of announcing the Mattoon Daily Journal at no distant day. "So mote it be."
Franco-Prussian War.
NEW ILLUSTRATED FAMILY PAPER.— We have received the first number of •lFor Everybody," a new monthly paper, published by Henry H. Sage, Bufialo, N. Y.
As its name implies, it contains matter of interest to ail, young and old Novels and History, Agriculture and Fine Arts, Humor and Burlesque, all have their allotted spaces. Is is an illustrated paper, and the engravings are carefully selected and admirably executed.
The publishers offer such startling prizes direct to subscribers, and on so new and novel a plan, that few would believe it genuine, were it not so satisfactorily explained and so strongly vouched for by some of the oldest and most responsible houses in the country. Sample copies will be sent on receipt of fifteen cents, and the subscription price is only $1.50 per year. Agents are wanted in this vicinity, but to shield the public from imposters, no application will be considered unless well recommended, after which each agent will be furnished with a certificate and a liberal commission allowed. Address Heury H. Sage, 26 Allen street, Buffalo, N. Y.
AN ELEGANT ESTABLISHMENT.—In going our rounds this morning, we happened into the new establishment of the Kuppenheimer Bros., at L. Goodman & Co.'s old Stand, 118 Maiu street. Inside, behind the counter, we found that "prhice of good fellows," John Kuppenheiniei, who had just returned from New York, busily engaged waiting on a number of customer.. The store room has recently been fitted up in elegant and commodious style, especially for the occupaucy of this popular firm. While gazing about at the piles of goods heaped up on the counters, John satisfied his customers by selling them each an outfit, after which he courteously exhibited to us his fine stock of ready made clothing, which he had justselected in person in the New York markets, with his usual good taste and excellent judgment. He now has on
hand
an endless variety uid inexhaustable quantity of ready made fclothingand gents' furnishing goods, which he proposes to dispose of at bargain prices. The greatest variety we have seen in the way of cuffs, we found here. Boxes ingeniously designed and constructed so as to represent a freight car, and on wheels, were shown us, by the train, tilled with most excellent and neat cuffs.
