"OLD CHEEK."—The cheekiest man of whom we have ever heard has recently afflicted Greencastle. As an evidence of the truthfulness of our assertion, he proposed to write up the mammoth business interests of that inland metropolitan borough, charging each business man so much for his notice of the prosperous and flourishing state of finances, as indicated by his business. "Old Cheek" then called on the editor of the Banner and wanted him to publish his article free!—"for the good of the town, you know." If he did not retire from the awful presence of an irritated editor, closely followed by a brace of half-famished terriers, it certainly was because Langsdale was too near choked with indignation to call on "the dogs of war!"
PERSONAL.—Messrs. Sheriff and Levings, of Paris editors Herr, of the Brazil Miner Davis, of the Hoosier State Frost, of the Marshall Herald Littlefield, of the Messenger, same city headed by Ike Brown, and each one heading a delegation from their respective places, were in the city last evening, and attended the Rip Van Winkle entertainment given by tho Rankin Comedy Company. All were delighted, judging by their demonstrations of appreciation. Besides the above named gentlemen, there were many other gentlemen and ladies from abroad present.
Mr. T. A. H. Cones, special agent of the Mauhattan Sewing Machine Company, for this State, is in tho city, stopping at the Terre Haute House. He is in compauy with Jonas Seeley, Esq., the sire of Seeley ville, this county.
AN IMPORTANT PROPOSITION.—A gentleman named Cone, connected with the Manhattan Sewing Machine Company, is in the oity for the purpose of consulting with leading business men here, with a view of re-movlug the Works of this company of capitalists from New York to Terre Haute. We hope and expect that this plan will be fully canvassed by our citizens, and the transfer made if possible, for we want all such enterprises established here, practicable. It is by the establishment and support of such mammoth manufactories iu a city that makes a grand metropolis, and without which there is uot even prosperity. The latter we want here, and the former we "may hope to attain iu the time which is yet to come. Let Terre Haute aspire to the honors of the metropolis of the State, and then persist until she can righteously claim that title.
A REPREHENSIBLE LIBERTV.—One of our prominent druggists, who also deals in fine cigars, this morning received a mammoth box of fragrant Havana's, which contained small boxes inside. It appears that the goods were shipped here from Indianapolis, taken past the city, and returned this morning over due several days. A close inspection revealed the (net that the outside box had been opened .i id several of the smaller boxes had been abstracted therefrom, evidently the work of some of the employes of the "common carriers," who delivered the goods as per assignment. As the matter is to be investigated, we make no comment at this time, only that there is responsibility somewhere, which will be developed at no late day, by the drug firm underconsideration. Such liberties ou the part of employes, is iu the highest degree reprehensible, and doubtless the wMllloee their good positious.

Additional Local News.
DON'T forget the "Great Fires" this evening at the Reading Room.— Vincenncs 'mm.
If the weather remains as cold of evenings in the future as it has been for several evenings past, we can assure the local editor of the Sun that they will not forget the fire at the reading room or anywhere else.
THAT Good Samaritan Society of this city, so well-known as the Terre Haute Ladies' Aid Society, will give a Fair at Dowling Hall on the evenings of the 11th and 12th inst. The Visiting Committee of this Society will wait upon citizens for contributions in money or provisions of any kind. We hope and feel confident that our citizens will respond liberally to this call, as they hare all like calls in the past.
COLD WEATHER AND A HOT SUBJECT. —The weather being cold at Charleston, a hot-blooded Baptist Divine of that city, announces through the columns of the Plaindealer that lie will entertain his cold-blooded congregation on the warm subject of "eternal damnation to the wickedall of whom the notice closes by inviting. The invitation is extended to this city, if this "cold snap" continues until to-morrow. Such a sermon would certainly be refreshing in midwinter.
A BIG SPECULATION.—A gentleman of this city, named Hughes, we understand,' the patentee of a very valuable invention in the line of roofing, recently sold his patent at Chicago for $5,000, and the individual or firm to whom he sold imAaediately resold it for $50,000, thus making a clear profit of $45,000, which Mr. Hughes had just as well made as not had he been aware of the worth of his patent.
DRAMATIC AND Ml1SICAL.
Congregational Concert Tuesday evening. A Terrible Temptation—to attend the Opera House this evening.
The Morris Bros., Minstrels will give one of theirside-splitting entertainments at the grand Opera House in this city Thursday evening of the coming week.
Keane's Comedy Company are boring the patient theater-goers of Crawfordsville. The audiences are always keen to get away, and we predict that Keane himself will be as keen to leave that town as he was this.
The coming concert of the Congregational Church, this city, will be one of the most entertaining local affairs of the present season. Efforts are being made to make it even more of a success than was that of several weeks since. It will be almost impossible to mak'e it any better.
This evening, the Rankin company close their second engagement at the Opera House in this city, in the great drama of a "Terrible Temptation," a dramatization of Charles Reade's latest novel. Of course, there will be a large attendance, as many are very anxious to see the new piece from curiosity, aside from its dramatic worth, which alone should call out a full house. Better yield to the terrible temptation, and be at the Opera House this evening.
Of the recent concert at Greencastle, given under the auspices of Messrs. Kilbourne & Paige and by the musical talent from this city, the Press of that city says:
In her second concert in this city on last Friday evening, Miss Kellogg fully sustained the reputation she made lor herself on her first visit. She was assisted bv Miss Conn, Prof. Paige and Mr. J. B. Richardson Prof. Kilbourne accompanying. Miss Kellogg's voice is so rich and full and sweet that one never tires listening to her. The programme was a success throughout.
Miss Alien introduced each part with a piano solo. We heard her execution highly praised by those whose opinion is worth something. Her second piece was an arrangement of the opera of II Trovatore, and she executed it so well that she was called back, which was a just tribute to her performance.
Our citizens may reasonably expect something very fine iu this line by attending the Congregational Church next Friday evening. See announcement columns for particulars.
It appears that the confiding concert patrons of the Capital have again been confidenced, now by Mrs. Moulton, the sound of whose voice wasmoultenlead in their ears but which was counteracted in large degree by the beauty of her face, and the gorgeousness of her magnificent wardrobe, which in resplendant splendor must have far outshown the richness and rare elegance of that of the charming Cleopatra.
It appears, too, that a well established case of assault and battery made on a Grand piano, by the pianist, did not have the most ravishing effect on the ears of the editor of the Evening Journal, who says:
No piece of furnituro was ever so maltreated as tho grand piauo at the Moulton concert last night. Welili seemed animated by the demon of destruction, and his demoniac rage gave him a strength that seomed supernatural and infernal. He pawed and he clawed he pounded and hammered, and reared up in his seat like a man in a strychnine spasm, until the tortured instrument, from pleading protestation passed through the gamut of complaining walls and agonized groans, up to the "incoherent shrieks of melody hopelessly insane.
RAILROAD ITEMS.
Trains on time lately. The Galbreath case of the I. & St. L. R. R. will be carried to the Supreme Court of Illinois.
Work progresses on the new depot of the I. & St. L. R. R. in this city. The structure will be one of elegance.
ThelndianapolisEvening Journal s&ya: Gen. Alfred Pleasanton is about to visit Europe for the purpose of negotiating the sale of bonds of the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Railroad.
Small-pox has interfered considerably with the work in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops at Altoona. Many of the employes are sick, and others, fearing the contagion, remain away from the shops to avoid infection.
An assessment of 5 per cent, on the capital stock of the Anderson, Lebanon & St. Louis Railroad, has been ordered to pay the expeuses of the preliminary survey and other work recently directed to be done.
The Fort Wayne, Richmond & Cincinnati Railroad will be finished in" a short time, if the weather continues fairaTSVfV^Mivnfmdiug is all done, and but few miles of iron are to be laid yet. This will be the second direct line between Fort Wayne and Cincinnati.
From a letter received from Mr. A. L. Gardner, formerly of the Vandalia Short Line, this city, now private Secretary of General Superintendent Lee, of the St. Louis & Southeastern, we learn that the road is doing a handsome business in all of its various departments. From a time table of this elegant new road, sent us by the same gentleman, we note that sixteen trains are run daily, three of which are passenger. The route is called the "Nashville Air Line," and has connections of a very important character. The road runs from St. Louis to Evansville already, and then connects there with Henderson & Nashville road to Nashville, as does the Chicago & Nashville Air Line through this city. Both our young friend, Mr. A. L. Gardner, and our elder friend, Lynn Smith, the latter also formerly of the Vandalia, have 66-
cured good positions on this new road. Success to both gentlemen. Gardner say he must have the Terre Haute Daily Evening GAZETTE, and he shall.
The Indianapolis Sentinel says that "on the 27th of last February Mrs. Emma Bell, a colored woman, purchased a ticket for Franklin, via the Jeff road. Admittance was refused to the ladies' car, and she was requested to take the passenger coach in front. This suit is brought to recover damages for that refused admittance into the ladies' car. The complaint alleges that she was compelled to take passage in a smoking car, filled with men, who were smoking cigars and pipes, and were boisterous in disposition. Damages are laid at one thousand dollars. The defendants aver that no objection was made to her color, and that she was refused admittance into the ladies car because there was no vacant seat. There was plenty of room aud comfortable seats in the front coach. Messrs. Lamme & Hawkins represent the plaintiff Messrs. Hendricks, Hord & Hendricks the defense. The argument was partly, heard, and then the jury were allowed to separate until after Thanksgiving, when the cause will be taken up and concluded."
GENERALITIES.
The Grand Joke "has arrived." Mrs. Joaquin Miller is about to undertake the publication of her poems.
An elastic tire for car wheels has been tried and found ot great value. It is estimated that one burning gas jet will consume as much air as five persons.
A citizen of Lowell announces that "a fue borders or meallers can be com. dated here."
A Missouri musician sat down upon a keg of powder and began to smoke. They found one button.
The senses of Queen Victoria have re turned to her, aud that of the German Empire will be taken December 1.
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, editress of Oodey'8 Ladi/'s Book, is 84—and still she's Hale. It is said that the Government has been offered $50,000 for the privilege of advertising on the backs of the postage stamps for one year.
Visitors to Hartford complain that they can't move there without running against a president, secretary, or agentof an insurance company.
A horse thief on his way to the votingplace in a Missouri town, was seized by the expounders of lynch law and hung to a telegraph pole. That manner of polling a vote is calculated to deaden one's interest in town politics.
A Council Bluffs paper, in giving an account of a poor fellow named Henry Smith, who committed suicide there, headed the report, "Bilious, poor and disheartened. The gun-muzzle in his mouth, his toe ou the trigger, and up goes his hair."
James Fisk shines in orthography, as will be seen from the following billet doux, which has just come to light:
DEAR DOLLY: To-night we play Las Briggam, it is too jolly Wlien you past me at the gait last night without looking at me my hart was pirsed.
AS. FISK, JR.
Death spares not even the young and beautiful. Miss Bettie Thomas, of Litchfield, Connecticut, was cut down, a few days since, in all the bloom and loveliness of her ninety-seventh spring. She leaves two little brothers, aged respectively ninety-nine and a hundred and one yeara, to mourn her untimely end.
An Auburn newspaper man lately visited the noted Miss Keeler, at Moravia, New York, the pretended "medium." He prevailed upon her to perform for him, and inspected the cabinets before the performance took place. He found among other things a tin horn, upon the mouth of which he placed a small quantity of printers ink. After the exhibition the ink was upon the "mejum's" mouth. Who can estimate the power of printer's ink "Now is the time to advertise."
Conjugal affection sometimes exhibits itself in furious shapes. Mrs. Smithson, of Springfield, Massachusetts, one day last week, showed her tender regard for Mr. Smithson's comfort and happiness, by transferring him from the toils and stormS aud eares of this dark vale of tears, to the rest aud peace and joy of the "(evergreen shores." The implement was a Colt's navy.
A big bully in Sioux City insulted a reporter there on the streef, and had a huge Derringer shoved into his mouth in such a spirited manner that he retired, suffering from a severe attack of ague. The Sioux City Times says: "We are pleased to state that in repelling the many attacks made upon them in this city, the newspaper men have in every, instance, come out the victors."
Onondaga county, New York, which produced the Cardiff giant, claims the entrance to the bottomless pit also. On a farm near Skaneateless a section of earth twelve feet in diameter sunk a few days ago to the depth of twelve feet. An investigation shows that beneath this there is an oblique aperture which reaches to an unknown depth. Stones thrown into it have never been heard to strike the bottom.
There are some new words. Woodhulling is to commit exility in a distant country with somebody else's wife. Brighamy is to have more than one wife. Jimfiscation is a theft of railroad^ bonds. Oakeyfcalling is the larceny of official papers. Holdenism is a mania for taking carriage rides and sending the bills to charitable people.
A nice youug girl of Green Bay, Wisconsin, was being courted by a nice young man. He was generously inclined, and made her presents-of hair oil, which he purchased from the store of the father of his adored. After giving her some twenty bottles of the oleaginous fluid be discovered that he was working in a circle—as fast as he presented them she returned them to the store, thus dutifully making trade for her father, No

LONDON, Dec. 1.—Blegg, one of the Princeof Wales' grooms, died at landingham this evening of typhoid fever. He was a close attendant of the Prince and was prostrated about the same time. This increases the anxiety for the Prince's condition, which is considerably worse to-night. His symptoms are aggravated, and his physicians apprehend a collapse.
December 2—Morning—The Prince passed a feverish and restless night, and is now unchanged. The bulletin states that the fever continues. No further unfavorable symptoms.
MADRID, Dec. 2.—There are rumors that the English and American Governments purpose an intervention in the Cuban difficulty, with a strong probability. A special session of the Cortes will be convened to devise means for firmly establishing Spanish supremacy in Cuba.
It is stated authoritively that the ministry is in favor of a more vigorous policy. It is is probable, therefore, that the Cortes will issue a decree empowering the Amadeus to use all means necessary to complete the subjection from crushing an insurrection.
NEW YORK, DEC. 2.—It was reported at the time of Connolly's arrest that the purpose was to compel him to turn States' evidence and reveal the connection of Tweed, Hall, Sweeney, Fitzgerald, on the Board of Audit swindle. After two days' imprisonment held yesterday and assisted by two lawyers and his son-in-law, the Surrogate, he is said to have prepared a full confession. A report of the confession was actively circulated by theattachees of the Mayor's office, where it created considerable excitement. No details of the document have yet been obtained but little that he has told. All he knew in connection with the transactions of the ring, and that other arrests will follow if flight on the part of the rogues does not forestall justice.
Detectives have been ordered to watch the various steamship lines closely today. Sheriff Brennan is growing doubtful of the property of extending favors to Tweed any longer, and will probably insist on taking him in charge soon. His bondsmen have not yet been qualified, and it is very doubtful if such is their intention. Three of them are said to have signified their intention to withdraw from his bond.
Much of the conversation in sporting circles in this city, yesterday, was on the Mace-Coburn fight at New Orleans, Thursday. While Mace's friends contended that he had proved himself the best man, acting wholly on the defensive during the fight,' Coburn's friends as firmly protested that the fight belonged to Joe, and that the decision of the referee, declaring it a draw, was unjust. Numerous heavy bets werestaked in this city on the result.
It is understood Coburn's intention at once is to challenge Mace again for five thousand dollars aside, to fight in a sixteen foot square ring.
The sub-committee of the Committee of Seventy will attend the meeting of the Citizens' Reform Committee ofBrooklyn, Monday evening, for the purpose of a conference with reference to matters to be brought before the Legislature of interest to both cities.
After the Grand Duke has made the tour of the United States he will go to China, joining the Russian fleet at New Orleans in about three or four weeks.
A special to the Times from Scranton, Pennsylvania, says: The great fall in the price of coal has created considerable excitement. It' is believed that the next auction sale will cap the climax.
The Audenreid shaft, near Wilkesbarre, sunk two feet, to-day, causing intense excitement.
A special to the Times, from Washington, yesterday, says the Secretary of the Navy, in his annual report will recommend a reduction of the number of active officers of the navy, and providing for the abolition of the rank of Admiral and Vice Admiral hereafter.
NEV YORK, Dec. 2.—It is reported that Mayor Hall has sold his interest in the Leader to Wheeler & Ripley, of the World.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—A milkman named Dennis McCarthy, while dipping swill from a vat at Pahlman's distillery, on Thursday afternoon, fell into a boiling vat of hog feed. He was taken out almost immediately horribly scalded. He died the same afternoon.
An inquest was held at the Morgue yesterday on the body of a man supposed to be that of Gustavus Dassler, which was found in the ruins of the building at No. 68 North Clark street. The last seen of Dassler was on the night of the fire, at which time he had in his possession $500, as his body was found near his safe. It is supposed that after he had locked his money up, his escape was cut oft by the fire and smoke.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Three Bnildings Consumed—Harrow Escape of the Plaindealer Office, the Postofflce and the Charleston Hotel.
At two o'clock on yesterday morning fire was discovered in the meat-market across the alley from* the Plaindealer buildiug. The undisturbed flames spread rapidly and soon consumed the three frame buildings west of the City Hall one owned by W. W. Fisher, and occupied by James White, as a shoe and leather store one owned by R. M. & H. S. Parcels, and occupied by B. F. Kellison, as a boot and shoe shop, and the other owned by the widow and heirs of Wm. Kennedy, and occupied by Stoddert &
Cooper, butchers aud stock-brokers. From all the buildings save the latter, the good and effects were rescued. Loss unknown but covered by insurauce.
The flames set fire to the Plaindealer building and to every window in the rear of the "Charleston," threatening the consumation of both in fact of the entire west side of the Public Square, if not of the whole business portion of the city. For a time it seemed that no mor tal effort could arrest the fury of the flames but by almost superhuman effort, noble daring and heroic perseverance, the best part of the city was saved, notwithstanding ye have no organized fire department, no engine, and other means of saving property. Shame on a city, boasting of wealth and fame, yet too niggardly to provide the simplest means of defense but honor! all honor! to brave men whose united effort saved our people from so great a calamity.
We can but return our heartfelt and life-long thanks for the earnest, untiring labor in our behalf. Gentlemen, we thank you, one and all only regretting that we cannot better reward you.
Mr. D. C. M. Evans, agent of the old, reliable "Home," called upon us yesterday morning, and promptly and satisfactarily adjusted our losses.
MB. CURTIS, writing of "Visionaries" in the Easy Chair takes a novel view of them. He tells us that there are indeed no greater tyrants and oppressors than the class usually called practical men— the people who insist that there is uo way whatever but the familiar rut, aud who smile superior at the theorists and the visionaries. But every great practical result is the work of visionaries. It is the man whose vision goes beyond routine who destroys routine and lifts the world forward. Is a timid and inhuman theory more respectable than one which is both heroic and humane Is a theory that men can effected only by the most mercenary motives necessarily truer than one which allows them to be of a mixed nature, and susceptible to noble emotions and generous appeal? Those who ascribe mean motives plume themselves upon beiug peculiarly practical. But it is only a difference of theory. Those who believe and who constantly see that men act generously, are, no more visionary than the others, but their vision is larger and purer. It is in science and art, and, indeed, in every department of human activity, as it is in politics, that the impracticable men, as they are called, produce the practical results.
A Dummy In a Nuptial Chamber. A laughable joke was played on the unsophisticated pair married by Justice McGrath, on Tuesday night, at the Falls City Brewery. The happy couple just made one lingered till a late hour in the sitting-room, and thus gave an oppportunity to mischievous fellows to get up a black dummy, resembling a negro man, and place him in the bridal chamber.. The bride retired first, and on entering her room, found, as she thought, a black man standing by the bedside. His intrusion roused her indignation to the highest pitch, and she flew at the figure and knocked it down and kicked it several times, and then picked it up in her arms and threw it down the stairs. The groom, meanwhile, heard the struggle and started to her relief. He imagined that the dummy was a real darkey, and struck it several times with his fist, bruising his knu«?kles considerably. The crowd enjoyed the joke hugely, and the building rang again with their unrestrained laughter. The parties were too indignant to discover their mistake.— l/ouisville Courier-Journal.
Miss CREAK (pronounced Cra-ak), the lady to whom Gen. D. E. Sickles was married on Monday in Madrid, is twentyt\yo years of age. She was born in Spain and speaks English very imperfectly, and is represented as very beautiful and accomplished, but not wealthy. Her father is Assistant Treasurer of the Province of Andalusia. The family is of Irish descent, has long been settled in Spain, and occupies an enviable social position. Miss Creak was an intimate friend of Gen. Sickles' daughter, and accompanied her as a companion in a recent tour in Europe.
Henry Watterson, «ditor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, writes his editorials before breakfast. This accounts for some of his eccentricities.
