ADMIRATION.—Below we give some items takeu from the morning Imbecile, patting the child's Weakly on the back. The "Mutual Admiration Society" is again in full blast, as will be seen by the following:

The Saturday Evening Mail is' the only paper in the city that profitably employs newsboys.

The Mail intimates that the free advertising dodge of the Evening Obscurity looks immensely thin and exceedingly ratty.

GEN. C'RUFT'S definition of a jeweler's per cent., which appeared in Harper's Magazine some months ago, is still jzoing the'rounds of the papers. It appeared in the St. Louis Republican of Sunday morning. It is too good to lie dormant.—Mail.

Better send them his Chicago address, delivered at the great reunion. We remember meeting a well-known citizen of this city the next morning after its delivery, and asking him if he lived in Terre Haute. His answer was, "No, not by a d—d sight, and if you have any respect for me, don't tell any one that I am from Indiana."

Ti-rrc "Everybody" Magazine for March, is at hand. As its title indicate?, it is for everybody and as a publication of art and literature, it is equalled by tew and excelled by none it should be in the hands of everybody. It comes to the sanctum of the Evening GAZKTTE with regularity, gratifying to us in the highest degree. It is published in Buffalo, N. Y., and is an honor alike to the editors, publishers, and the city where published. Its visits to our sanctum are ever welcome, and ever kindly noticed, upon receipt of each number.

THHIOK lads of this city, named Ilobt. Ostrander, John Jliley and Mif. McKennmi, aged about'fifteen years, left their homes Saturday last, without assigning any reason for such conduct, and are supposed to be in Iudianapolis. Will our journalistic friends notify the detectives of the Capital that they may look them up, thoroughly spank and send the meandering juveniles homeward One of the boyt«, McKennon, had $30 in the .Savings Bank here, aud the departure of the trio is unaccountable and of course .causes their parents much anxiety and serious apprehension for their safety.

VALUABLE PROPRRTY FOR SALE.— That valuable piece of real estate, lying on Ohio and Sixth streets and known as the "Linton Block," will be put on the market immediately after the fist day of June, and sold at prices more reasonable than any other of equal value as business lots in this city. The lots will be laid oil' twenty or twenty-rive feet front on Ohio street, to suit the purchaser, and running back about one hundred and thirty feet to an alley. They will be sold on time, to suit the convenience of those buying.

Off of Main street, there are no unimproved lots in this city so desirable for business locations as these. Ohio street will always be the rival of Main street.

PIC ACE NOT YET DECLARED.—This .morning we about came to the conclusion that the unsavory sulphuric odor emitted from the nostrils of that "beast" .alluded to by the carpet warriors of late had

reminded

his

the gentlemen, of the tem­

porary quill, of the "Great Gulf' which Mr. Howe preached about last evening, and would result in a truce and finally a declaration of a peace which should be lasting and again elevate the price of carpets to an altitude beyond the reach of the poor aud humble, likeourself. This proved to be an illusion, by another broadside or two, which wiil^e found in our columns to-day. Ijet the gentlemen compare the poles with which they hope to "knock the persimmons," and let the short ones be again spliced.

A WORTHY promotion is that of Geo. Hill, of this city, au Express Messenger of the Adams Express Company, between Evansville & Terre Haute, on the E. & C. R. R- He has been promoted from the position of messenger to Express Agent, at Sullivan. It is with particular pleasure aud gratification that we note this promotion, for it is, iudeed, a most worthy aud satisfactory one to all concerned. For many long menj mouths and years, George has faithfully made his trips from this city to Evansville and return, having in charge the interests of a company, which must nec essarily entrust to his care .in so long a period of time hundreds of thousands, if uot millions of dollars, in money and of valuables. Never have we heard of a complaiut of George's being direlict in duty or shirking the responsibilities of

position. While we now congratulate him on his promotion, to a position where he CHII enjoy more of the company

City Improvements.

IN many respects, Terre Haute has lagged behind other cities of like proportion and less financial ability,in the way of city improvements. Among many other things, our streets aud sidewalks have been particularly neglected, while on every hand manufactories and elegant buildings have been erected, railroads have been built, and magnificent residences on which the paint is not yet dry, have arisen as if by magic from their foundations, giving in general appearance, a business and comfortable aspect to the place. True, this neglect has grown out of public and individual attention being too fully occupied in other directions in the past. These things have been overlooked because other and what many thought more important matters have come up for consideration and action.

Now, however, it gratifies us to note that the people are becoming awakened to public needs and necessities. Business men of almost inexhaustible means have organized into a joint stock company, and the city has subscribed $50,000 to the capital stock for the construction of water works, which will benefit all. The city authorities have voted the necessary means to insure the construction of the best system of fire alarm telegraph known to the world, though only a limited number of alarm boxes will be taken at present. This we feel assured will eventually lead to the purchase of others at a reasonable consideration, if the system proves as satisfactory in this city as it has in others, when in practical operation.

The City Council has taken in hand the matter of sidewalks on two very prominent streets of the city, thoroughfares probably more extensively patronized by pedestrians than any others in the city, aside from business limits. In a recent session, this body peremtorily ordered the property-holders of South Sixth and North Seventh streets to construct a brick sidewalk in front of the property of each, which must necessarily be done, and which will add much to the value of such property thus improved. All the above improvements will shortly pay for themselves by the ratio in which they will enhance the value of real estate.

Right at this point we wish to say a few words for another much needed improvement on Main, and doubtless other streets of the city. We allude to tjie laying ef Nicolson pavement. Such indeed, is the need of t! is, it has almost become a necessity. Indianapolis and other less pretentious cities enjoy this system of street paving, and'all are delighted with it. We think this system is worthy a careful investigation as to merit and cost aud in the event of the city being able to boar the expense, the system being satisfactory, we thing Terre Hautentots too, should enjoy the felicity of driving over Nicolson pavements, on which they can so well display their blooded horse flesh.

A Perplexing Dilemma.

The chief of the Express and F. N. D., a correspondent of the Mail Lock Box, are badly ruptured in mind and persist in mangling their most intimate linnen about small-pox and compulsory pest house restrictions. The sanguinary chief of the Express is physically and morally ready to dispatch six officers of the redeyed law who attempt to carry from his domestic hearthstone, either he or his'n to a pest house in the event of their being stricken with the dread visitation. F. N. D. pines for the precious privilege of setting on a jury to add his mighty mite towards making this sanguinary knight of the quill, even more averse to capital punishment than now. Both are evidently deeply in earnest and both advance very commendable arguments, aside from their deadly assertions, designed to and doubtless intimidating to the parties endangered.

While public safety may seem to demand that each case of small-pox shall be immediately transferred to a pest house, where is the man among us who would be willing to have a member of his family thus dealt with? True, the nearest and dearest friends of the afflicted may go to the pest house also, to care for them, but they would not have the conveniences at hand they would were they at their own homes,and would not have the opportunity of sending for them, as everybody about a pest house are prescribed, as carrying the infection in their clothing. Again, if such rules are uot adhered to, it seems that the public is to suffer, aud it looks reasonable that the disease will be much more likely to spread, if such precautions are not takeu.

It seems to us that the subject of this controversy in our cotemporaries is a very perplexing dilema, either horn of which has mauy objections and much to command its attention. Certainly, so far as we are concerned personally, we never would consent or become reconciled to have our wife taken to a pest house in the eveut of her being attacked with this

dread

disease, still we should very much like to see the public protected by officially looking after the public safety by the Board of^ Health. We think the better way would be for the family where such disease is present to close their doors agaiust all outsiders, except the ph3Tsicians, and allow none of the inmates to pass off the premises under any any circumstances, except the most urgent case of necessity, where drugs or the sustenance of life must be procured.

If such an ordinance was passed and rigidly enforced, we think the object sought by F. N. D. in part, to say the least, could be attained, though we will admit, not so quickly as by the plan he so strongly and earnestly advocates. His plan, however, asks for the sacrifice of the tenderest feelings of the heart, while the object to be attaiued is public safety and the prospering of mercantile and general business. When a dear one is sick the comforts of home are most

needed and those comforts cannot be had in this city outside of the home circle. Did we enjoy in or near our city a hospital, where the best nursing and medical attendance could be had, it would be entirely another matter. Then could wives, husbands, or children be taken there aud attended by the physicians, the professional nurses and the dear ones of the home circle, the plau advocated by our friend, F. N. D., would certainly be the plan. As it is, however, on prin* ciples of home ties a9 agaiust outside interests we are not in favor of a compulsory pe3t house system.

Tuk Journal, official maple sugar bulletin of the city and county, quotes that saccharine article as follows:

On Saturday maple sugar went down to 12c per pound. This resulted from a rival, perforating the "corner" recently monoplized by the chief of the Journal.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

That uptown ticket office is dead in the shell. Trains on time this morning on all the roads.

The Vandalia train came .in heavily laden with passengers. The I. & St. L. R. II. did a rushing freight business yesterday judging from the number of trains which went rumbling through this city.

The Iudianapolis Journal says the case of N. W. Fitzgerald vs. the T. H. & I. R. R. Co., a suit for $20,000 damages, has been postponed until next, week, when it will be tried at a special term of the Shelby Common Pleas Court before Judge Howland.

The royal cub returns thanks to Major Simpson, of the Vandalia, for those ivory-handled time cards. He said uot a word in the communication about the warm greeting he received by the distinguished citizens of Terre Haute as he was en route. Ungrateful cub.

Scoundrels who have not the fear of the red eyed law, or the sanguinary Judge Lynch, in holy fear or horror, persist in annoying the management of the "Jeff"" road by obstructing the track. This, from mallicious motives against the management, or with a desire to plunder.

At a meeting of the citizens of Brown township, Ripley county, last week, it was resolved to donate the right of way to the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railway, and vote a direct tax of two per cent, on property in the township, to aid in the construction of the road.—Ind. Sentinel.

And yet we have among us those who daily assert that the road is uot to be built, and that the management are "shysters." The company seem to be in the enjoyment of the full confidence of the people along the line aud in fact everybody here but. those interested in other roads or who are opposed to internal improvement.

While the Junction road was building, the managers obtained the-right of way through many farms by gifts on part of owners, in some instances agreeing to recompense this gift by a life pass over the road. An old gentleman named Clifford, living near Rushville, claims to come under the latter classification. He held a life-pass, which was honored until shortly after the road passed into the hands of a receiver. On Saturday he attempted to come to Indianapolis on this pass, but was ejected from the train. He asserts that the right of way through his land was granted on condition of said life-pass, and he is now inaugurating suit to bring this company to terms. The suit will be regarded as a test one, and will be looked forward to with interest, as quite a number of parties living along the line of road hold similar documents. —Indianapolis Sentinel.

SPRING FASHIONS FOR GENTS.

How to Look Neat, Nice and Nobby. It is very seldom that anything like a comprehensive review of fashions for gentlemen is seen in the papers, and yet there are few individuals in any class of society who do not aspire to neat fitting aud good looking clothes, though it is by no means those who wear the best apparel, that present the most creditable appearance. We have been circulating most industriously of late among the merchant tailors, the "gents' furnishing goods dealers" and the "sheep cloding" man's, aud as we have engaged suits and various articles of clothing at every place visited, and owe no previous bills, it is but right to suppose that the hints on dress we have picked up were not biased by any unfavorable cifcumstances, and may be relied on until the weather changes. Every man likes to dress the common usages of society, to say nothing about the climate in which we reside, demand that the body be covered more or less, according to its physical necessities and our pecuniary conditions.

FROM TOP TO TOE.

Commencing at the head of our subject, hats will be worn to a considerable extent this summer, and consist of every style, shape and material known to mankind. The common silk hats take the precedence over all other styles of head gear, higher in price aud position, and the only kind that affords a vacant air chamber over the head forthe concentration of brain phosphorus, bandanna handkerchiefs, love letters, and an occasional brick. The clergy, deacons and venerable old gentlemen of threescore and ten will wear their "stove-pipes" either on one side of the head or tipped several degrees over back, if they wish to keep in. the style. To be sure this will give them a jaunty appearance, and a geueral "plug-ugly" air, but the fashion will change soon, and their hats assume a position more in keeping with the wearer's profession. School boys will continue to draw their caps down over their ears as heretofore, until they become big enough to keep their head gear from being knocked off by the "big boys." For travelling, the 8cotcb cap or a soft felt hat is much used, and few start upon a journey without one of the former in tneir pockets. With rural residents the old coon skin cap, with a flying jib over each ear, of rabbit skin, continue popular, even into the summer months, when it will be exchanged for a broad brim straw hat, neatly but not gaudily trimmed, with a piece of wool twine, or a common "shillin palm leaf' with the initials of the wearer in red paint ou the front, and a twine string for a band. Next upon the list, though not properly au article of dress, yet included in the fashions, comes the

HAIR AND WHISKERS.

There are few individuals who cannot afford to sport more or less hair upon their head, and much is added to personal effect by a proper care in arranging said hirsute covering.

To thosewho have become prematurely bald from carrying bricks in their hats in their younger days, or have had their hair worn off by being patted on the head by the beaux who were courting their elder sisters, we would say, a cheap aud very nobby wig cau be made of. old buffalo robe, or your wife's cast-off" Astrachan cloak, which, by exercising a little ingenuity in their manufacture, will defy inspection at au evening party, or whiie sparking in a dimly lighted room. The old style of parting the hair on both sides of the head aud creating a roll in the middle, and also rolling the ends uuder behind, promises to be revived this season, but the present fashion of making a beautiful scallop down over the eyebrows, and frizzing the back of the head, will fiud many followers.

In whiskers, every man will act according to his taste and the growth of his beard. The Buruside and Imperial cut will prevail largely, though among the sporting fraternity, the old fashioned soup strainer moustache will take the precedence. From six to eight hairs on the upper lip often^ives to a young man a genteel air, and if he can give his cheeks a mouldy appearance by not shaving let him do so, for there is no surer passport into female society than a heavy pair of mutton chop whiskers, like prairie timber set in rows to break the force of rough winds—thin, but useful.

COLLARS AND NECKTIES:

Of collars there are a thousand styles. The old-fashioned "side board" collar, with an opening in front for the lower jaw to work will be used principally by middle-aged men. The long pointed "Shakespeare," aud the "Byronic Droop," are the most stylish, though. many geutlemen are wearing the 'Knock Down Choker," a standing collar with the corners knocked over with a club. These, with red necktie, are very recherche, and give to the wearer's neck the appearance of having been ruu over by a street car. Paper collars are much used by those unable to get trusted for large wash bills, but they should be turned at least once in two weeks and then chalked over for fresh use.

SHIRTS AND VESTS.

Shirts will continue to be worn tbia summer by those of more elegant tastes, though many devotees of fashion substitute a high neck vest and broad collar, wh?ch answers every purpose unless the wearer wishes to remove his coat to play billiards or coquet with his female cousin when the effect is startling. A very fine shirt with illustrated bosom, representing scenes from the late Prussian war, cau be purchased for fifty cents, though gentlemen of fastidious tastes seldom wish to wear anything in this line that costs less than a dollar. With young men who chew tobacco, or scatter their food while eating, tbe cheviot shirts are much admired, but blacksmiths, coal heavers, painters and iron puddlers should wear nothing but the whitest of linen, and if possible have a slight trace of embroidery on the bosom, and valencieuues lace broidered on the cuffs, which should be loug and thus saved the trouble of gloves or washing their hands. Young men of small means who aspire to long collars can abbreviate the lower portion of their shirts and use the material thus gained for collars pants high in the neck, aud a pair of trustworthy suspenders, rendering such little deception secure from discovery. Vests are double, or singlebreasted, with, or without collars, according to the wearer's views and pocket book. For courting purposes a doublebreasted vest with wire springs and faced with India rubber, gives much comfort to those who love to recline their heads.ou a nice \est pattern without mussing it up, and leaving traces of bear's oil or pomatum. This style is known as the "Lovers' Favorite."

COATS.

Iu coats there is the old-fashioned but always admired "Twingtail," suitable for weddings or funerals, and worn by young or old regardless of complexion. The "Swallowtail," or "Clawhammer," is fashionable yet, and is worn to a great extent by farmers' boys when in the hay field, and those who work around sawmills. Tall men should wear short sack coats, of bright colors, while short men can attract attention anywhere by long waistcoats, reaching from neck to heels. The "Buffalo Bill" coat takes the place of all others on the street, while for calling, or the opera, the double-breasted High Level Bridge coats, with Mansard collar and embroidered skirts, are much worn, especially those that have been iu use several years, and by different members of the family.

TROWSERS.

It is in this article of wearing apparel that the genius of the ambitious tailor is displayed to its greatest advantage. The old fashioned "bag" pants and "tights," are struggling for supremacy with equal chances for both. At present trowsersare made close-fitting to the knees, when they enlarge into spring bottoms, which gives the lower part of the wearer's limbs the appearance of Elephantias sis, or to look at the lower story you would take him for a man-o-wars-man," but the upper portion of the garment suggests a circus performer. Much trouble has existed heretofore among those wearing the spring bottom pants, especially when walking against the wind. A city tailor, however, has remedied this difficulty by arranging reefing liues along the seams, and a tackle block arrangement, by which a full or partial surface, as desired, can be exposed to the wind, and the wearer not only walk iu the teeth of the severest gale that ever blowed, but, with a favorable wind, and slight knowledge of trimming sails, can make usual headway, which can be increased by turning his coat tail into a flying jib, and rigging up top-sails on his hat.

B0OTS AND SHOES.

The latest improvement in fashionable foot-covering is the broad-toed boots for male and female wear, which give great ease to corns but cause the wearer to appear web-footed. A fashionable walking boot for ladies, and one which is all the rage among those' who possess an aristocratic instep, is known as the "dromedary," on account of the bay window on top, to give room to the instep and accommodate any bunion that may there exist in its insipient stages. This boot looks like a loaf of Dutch bread with a doughnut on the roof.

The latest manner of procuring a perfect fitting boot or shoe is to place the foot iu a box and pour melted tallow and beeswax around it. When cold, the box is removed and the tallow cut into pieces, thus giving a perfect mould, which serves as a model for the artist in sole leather. Under the present style there is a constant tendency on the part of the human foot to spread out, and grow paddleshaped,which, if not checked by achange of fashion, will soon render wider sidewalks necessary, and do aWay with round dances altogether. In-conclusion we would state that with many clothing dealers there have been a great reduction in prices. A wedding suit can be hired for a few shillings, and a business suit of coat, vest and pants, we have seen marked as low as four dollars. This was not of extra quality, however, the material was coarse enough to allow rate to run through between the threads without injury to the cloth or to themselves, but for those not too fastidious it was neat and healthy.

NEW YORK, March 25.—In all the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches in this city, Palm Sunday services were held yesterday, and were crowded with worshippers. The churches were all tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers. Among the Hebrews the feast of Purim was observed.

McNeil andHoge, a Committee of the Georgia Legislature, are in the city for the purpose of investigating the alleged irregularities in the issue of bonds of that State, negotiated for by a firm on William street.

The trial of Haggerty and Baulch, alleged voucher thieves, is set down for today in the Court of Oyer and Terminer.

It is said that the District Attorney will ask no delay, although he has not yet succeeded in finding ex-Comptroller Connolly.

The case, however, will probably be postponed again unless Connolly can be reached.

A fire yesterday, at 112 Franklin street, damaged Solomon & Co.'s stock of clothing $5,000. The other occupants' loss were about $2,000. The building was damaged $1,000.

The committee of six appointed by the Pennsylvania Legislature to take the testimony of Evans, now lying ill in this city, left for Pittsburg last evening, having accomplished the object of their mission.

The rite of confirmation was administered yesterday afternoon at the church in Twenty-second street by Bishop Potter, to thirty-eight ladies and gentlemen, candidates for confirmation. They were all Cubans, and had been converted from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism since their arrival in this country. The ceremony was very impressive.

This church, it is said, is the first Spanish Protestaut church organized in the United States, and a prayer-book translated into Spanish is read at their services.

NEW YORK, March 25.—The Time's special from Washington says that Gen. Howard will probably arrive in Arizona during the present week, and news will soon be heard which may indicate something of the prospect of his mission. There is every reason to believe that the Apaches are ready for the war-path as soon as the grass shall have grown sufficiently to subsist their ponies. The people of that region oppose Howard, desiring that Gen. Crook should be permitted to anticipate their movements and strike the first blow. Much hope is reposed in efforts of Howard here, though it is well understood that there are difficulties in his way which arduous and conscientous labor only can overcome.

Secretary Fish is now engaged in preparing the order based on the new civil service rules, which the Advisary Board has just completed tbe order which the Cabinet will endorse at its meeting next Tuesday. The order Will require these rules to be put into effect in each of the seven departments here without any further delay.

NEW YORK, March 25.—Haggerty and Baulch, voucher thieves, were arraigned to-day. The trial has been postponed on account of the disappearance of Connolly..

WASHINGTON March 25.—The Senate passed the bill for the relief of naval officers.

SPRINGFIELD, ILLS., March 25.—Last night a young man by the name of Henry Stay, whose parents live in Lasalle, was shot and instantly killed by a man by the name of Edward Duffy. Stay aud Duffy while iu a saloon, got into a good natured scuffle, in which Dnffy was thrown rather violently to the floor. He the pulled out a revolver and after a few words with Stay, fired

upon

and instantly killed him. He then turned to the proprietor of the saloon, Edwin Slater, and fired upon him, inflicting a severe flesh wound. Duffy again aimed his revolver at Slater, whocried, "For God's sake, don't shoot again, I am already crippled." Duffy put his revolver iu his pocket, walked up to the dead body of young Stay, straightened it out and then left the saloon. No trace of the murderer has been obtained. Both Stay and Duffy were firemen employed upon the Toledo & Wabash Railroad.

James Mann, who shot Neal Lomis at Chatham a few days ago, has been arrested at Jacksonville, and will be brought here to-night and lodged in th county jail. It is expected that Mann will not live.

CHICAGO, March 25.—A meeting of delegates from the various Irish temperance society of Chicago, was held yesterday afternoon at Father Matthew's Hall, with reference to forming a union of the Irish temperance societies of Illinois, for the purpose of securing the enforcement of the new liquor law.

Thevlrish here are generally in favor of it while tbe Germans, with hardly an exception, are bitterly opposed to it.

A man named Jacob Uhlich, came

here from South Beud, Ind., recently, seeking for work, but not finding it, he applied for assistance, and was sent to the county Poor House, where he died last Saturday night. Examination disclosed a paper of arsenic in his pocket, showing that he had committed suicide.

COVINGTON, KY., March 25.—WM. Harris, a resident a Boyd's Station, Ky., was stabbed aud killed on Saturday night by a man named Andy Coollier. Harris received three stabs near the heart anddied instantly.
