How to Conduct a Courtship. Don't be too sudden about it. Many a girl has said "no" when she meant "yes," simply because her lover didn't choose the right time and pop the question gently.

Take a dark night for it. Have the blinds .closed, the curtains down, and the iamp turned almost out. Sit near enough to her so that you can hook your little finger into hers. Wait until conversation begins to flag, and then quietly remark: "Susie, I waut to ask you somethiug."

She will fidget around a little, repl^r "yes," and after a pause you can

"Susie, my actions must have shown—that is, you must have—I mean that you must be aware that— that—"

The Tile of a Trunk. Boston Letter.

The arrest of L. W. Pond, of Worchester, Massachusetts, in California, a resgfeted citizen and wealthy merchant, for forgery and other misdemeanors, caused quite a sensation in thi-3 community. Mr. Pond had betrayed the confidence of his friends and taken advantage of his high standing in the community to commit a series ef forgeries and breaches of trust of the most startling character, and it is no pleasing thought to those who realize its fall meaning, to see the once respected merchant standing in tne fellon's dock. The forgeries which Pond committed were of the most dangerous description, impossible of detection under ordinary circumstances, and were perpetrated on his friends, as well as on orphans and widows ,whom he knew were trusting him their all. For fouryearo he had also been deceiving the bank, which had stood him through thick and thin. The amount of his forgeries is stated at 9200,000. There seems to have been no limit to which he abused the confidence of the community, and all this has been under the cloak of good fellowship and extreme piety. Sometimes It was in October, that Pond was seeu in the Province of Ontario, and detectives going there found that he was traveling under the name of L. Wilson. He then went from there to the Pacific coast. The successful clue to the discovery of Pond,however, was by a trunk that was shipped from Worcester to Boston, marked "to be called for" there, by a Mr. Kidder. The trunk was duly called for by a stranger 'and was immediately reshipped by the

Wells, Fargo fc Co. Express to Saoremento. Mr. Pond received the trunk on the 24th ot November, and Pond was about the same time recognized in that city by a Worcester man, who at once put himself in communication with the police whose action resulted in Pond's arrest. .....

We take the following from a standard authority: Some interesting particulars relative to the indoor diversion of our ancestorsbt Christmas, occur in the lollowtng passages quoted by I$and from a tract entitled "Round about our coal fire or Christmas entertainments," which was published in the early part of the last century. "The time of the year being cold and frosty the diversions are within doors, either in exercise or by the fireside. Dancing is one of the chief exercises or else there is a match at Blind man's buff, or Puss in the corner. The next game is ques|cilities tions and commands, when the com mander may oblige his subjuects to answer any lawful questions, and make the same obey him instantly on pain of being smutted (having the face blackened) or paying such forfeit as may be laid on the aggressor. Most of the other diversions are cards and dice." From the above we gather that the sports on Christmas evening,- a hundred and fifty years ago, were not greatly dis similar to those in vogue at the present day.

The names of almost all the pastimes then mentioned must be familiar to every reader, who has probably also, participated in them at some time of his life. Let us now only add charades, that favorito amnsement of modern drawing rooms (and of these, only the name, not the sport itself, was unknown to our ancestors), together with a higher spirit of refinement and delicacy, and we shall discover little difference between the juvenile pastimes of a Christmas party in our own day, and a similar party in the far. off days of our early ancestors,

A favorite passtime on Christmas evening, with the English, is the game of Snapdragon. A quantity of raisins are dropped in a large dish or bowl (the broader or shallower this is, the better), and brandy, or. ^some other spirit is then poured over the fruit and ignited. The bystanders now endeavorour, by turns to grasp a raisin ky plunging their hands through the flames, and as this is somewhat of an ardorous feat, requiring both courage and rapidity of action a considerable amount of laughter and merriment is worked at the expense of the unsnccessful competitors. As an appropiate accompaniment, we introduce here,

THE SONG OP THE SNAP-DRAGON. Here he comes with flaming boul, Don't he mean to take his toll, Snip! Snap! Dragon!

Taker are you con'ttake too mueli, Be not greedy in your clutch, Snip' Snap! Dragon! With his blue and lapping tongue,

Many of you will be stung, Snip! Snap! Draeon For lie snaps at all that comes Bnatchingat his feast of plumbs,

Snip! bnaif Dragon!

But old Christmas make* him come, Though he looks so fee! la! fun. Snip! Snap! Dragon!

While the sport of Snapdragon is going on it is usual to extinguish all the light in the room so that the lurid glare from the flaming spirits may exercise its wierd-like effect.

There seems little doubt that in this amusement a trace of the firey areal of the middle ages is retained, and also of the druidical fire-worship of a still remoter epoc.

curious refer

ence to it occurs in the quaint old play of Lingna, quoted by Mr. Sandys in his work pn Christmas Memory. "Oh, I remember this dish well it was first invented by Pluto to entertain Prosperine and Phantastes." I think not so' Memory for when Hercules had killed the flaming dragon of Hesperia with the apple of that orchard he made this fiery meat, in memory whereof ho named it Snapdragon. Snapdragon, to personify him has a poor relation or country cousin who bears the name of Flapdragon.

This is a favorite amusement among the common people in the western part of England, and consists in placing a lighted candle in a can of ale or cider, and drinking up the contents of the vessel. This act entails, of course, considerable risk of having the face singed, and herein lies the essence of the sport, which may be avered to be a somewhat more ardorons proceeding in these days of Moustaches and long whiskers, than it was in the time of our close shaved grandfathers.^'

MUSIC.

Music, refines, educates, and cultivates. 'Twas its mighty power which gave Apollo his scepter, and clad with irresistible charm the voice of the siren. It ushered the world into existence, and 'tis its sweet harmony rendered harsh and clarion from the dread occasion, which will announce the end of this world and the coming second advent.. It is the chiefest pleasure of care-laden mortals, and is fabled to be the

of celestials. It ap

pears to the senses only, and is hence sensual, but it has a subtle power which can both subdue and arouse, it can stay the bloody hand of murderous execution or fire witb valor a ter-ror-stricken soldier. It is always on the side of right, the better aide of a man's nature. The inate joy in it in youth should be cultivated. This God. given taste should not b« stunted. No pleasure is really, so cheap, and the fafor* procuring instruments for its production are yearly being made more nearly within the reach of all.' If a piano is too expensive, get an organ. Kussner has all stylos and grades. You can certainly be pleased with his large, grand twelve-stop Burdett, or if this costs more tban you can affordi the silver-toned. Needham will certainly suit your taste and pocket. Kussner also has a delightful little instrument, the Taylor fc Farley organ, which gives superb music. If your child is too young to learn, and children rarely are, get some other simple musical instrument. "Kussner's Palace" is full from cellar to garret, witb everything you want. .A deep, sincere love for harmony cultivated in a ehild you will never regret, even though he or she has no great talent The reputation of the piano sold principally by Kussner, the Knabe, is world-wide, as seen from an item in an eastern paper, stating that Knabe had lately sold four of his instruments in Europe. This is quite a point for American manufacturers. Everybody knows where Kussner is Ohio street, south side, between Second and Third streets.

JEWELS

AND ORNAMENTS

of gold and silver have always been accounted the most appropriate pres ents which could be offered on the natal day of Christ. When the Nazarene who is reverenced as the Savior of the world, lay a helpless infanrln the manger, the wise men of the East offered costly presents of jewels at his feet. The custom takes its date from this al though much earlier such tokens of affection were constantly bestowed. Pure, sparkling, rare, they are lit em blems of true love and fit insignia of rank to the wearer. The season again approaches when such things must be bought and Riddle is prepared for 1^. He led the holiday trade in jewelry last year and proposes to do it again this. He has' some particularly desir able coral sets and fine gold necklaces.

I I I S I

(and it unquestionably is,) for people to cultivate their minds and tempers, so as to be morally beautiful, and loveahle, why is it not right and proper for them to adorn their bodies, and render their exterior as handsome as possible? It is all nonsense about these little artifices for rendering people good looking being wicked. Mrs. Messmore's establishment on Main, next to Straus' is full of beautiful ladies goods, hair switches and orna-' ments of every kind. Mrs. Messmore is long and favorably known, and she will be patronized.

A MAN

may have a hundred thousand dollars in the bank he may be a Canal Director or a Councilman he may have poor relations who want him to die, so that they can inherit his estate, ho may have all these good things nay, more he may have morocco-top calf-skin boots, elegantly fitting boots wear a red neck-tie and a.happy smile be clad in store clothes and righteousness throughout, but if he have on a slonchy old hat a hat that is dispirited and down hearted a hat that has as many holes In it as in an Irishman's fence or a Yankee seive, then will he look like thundar in spite of himself. A moral: OotoSykes' and get roof for yonr brain box.

ToTg.

For the very best arranged stock of toys in the city go to Hugo Duenweg's new toy store, next -door to the Eagle Drng

Store, south Fourth street. All th IH entirely new, the prices all marked on*the goods and the display is very fine. Step in and make |a selection that will make the children happy. You will find here everything oheap as the cheapest.

WHITE A MEWHINNY

who are located at Sage's old stand, on Main street declare their intention af selling every toy in. the establish* ment before the holidays are past, and the manner in which they are marking down prices would seem to indicate that they' will do as they say. They are desirous of closing out their stock of toys, that they may give their entire attention to the other branches of their business. This is an opportunity which does not often present-itself at this season of the year, and all should avail themselves of it.

A MORE SUBSTANTIAL PRESENT

than a good pair of shoes or boots, we cannot think of.' Fathers and mothers who wish to make presents to their children will do well to oonsider the

fact that a present of this kind will be of more use to the average boy or girl, than a thousand loi-de-rolsor gewgans. Go ye, therefore, to J. S. Joroon, and select from his elegant and complete stock, some substantial covering for the pedal extremities, a tribute of the heart to the feet as it were.

OF ALIi APPEALS,

although I grant the power of pathos and of gold,of beauty,flattery, threatsshilling—no Jmethods' more sure at moments to take hold of the best feelings of mankind, which grow more tender, as we every day behold—Than that all softening overpowering knell—

The

tocsin of the soul-the dinner bell! There is no use questioning it. Christmas is nothing without its richly laden dinner s. The joy, the good feeling, the happy, hearty glow of fel lowship. all is as nought, if good eat-" ing does not accompany it. Let everybody, therefore, while buying presents not foget to visit Rippetoe and lay in such a stock of oodies as he alone keeps. His maple syrup, apple cider, celery aud other innumerable good things cannot fail to render the cladjseason such if hothing else accompany it.

COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.

A good sound business education is one of those things that can not be knocked out of a man's head by any kind of adversity. Accomplishments may detoriate, glitter may turn to dross and beauty of character be dragged into the mire of the world's scorn and contempt, but a thorough, practical business knowledge once acquired, as is acquired by all those who' graduate at Garvin & Heinly's Commercial College, corner of Sixth and Main, will linger] with a man all the ye.irs of his life. It is as enduring as'principle, as lasting as truth itself, for it is founded upon correct principles. And so if you want to present your son or nephew, cousin, neice or daughter with thai that enables such an one to secure that priceless boon, go there aiid secure a scholarship in this sgperior school, and let it lie under the plate at the Christmas or New Year's breakfast table.

BUNTIN DR ARMSTRONG.

When you start out to look for something real pretty and useful, at the same time reasonable in price, for Christmas presents for "the loved ones at home," or the "absent friend," don't ail to call at Buntin & Armstrong's,for you will be hard to please if you do not find there just the thing looked for. They have beautiful artcles in Genuine Russia Leather, Turkey Morroeeo, Pearl and Tortois Shell,Gilt and Bronze French Cut Glas9, etc., etc., for teo numerous for us to remember or enumerate. Anyway, they make a very attractive display, and you will enjoy looking, even if you do not purchase.

B. GAGG Y.R.R.

has the most complete stock of pictures and frames in Terre Haute. There you may find pictures ranging in price from one cent to one hundred dollars, oil paintings, cbromos, steel engravings, lithographs, photographs, wood engravings and colored prints,

Mr. £agg also keeps a most complete stock of drawing utensils, and artist's materials. You cannot make a more useful present to your children than a set of drawing pencils or crayons.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

upon the Christmas festivities, otherwise tbey will be extremely flat, stale, and unprofitable. Go ye, therefore unto Theodore Stahl and make your wants known to him, and he will give you light. That is, he will sell you the finest lamps to be found in the city, and with proper treatment tbey will furnish the light, Mr. Stahl has also a very.fine stock of queensware, chiua, etc. In making up your Christmas list don't forget Stahl.

THE MOKSTER

Bankrupt Shoe Store is offering extra inducements constantly for purchasers. Be sure you have your children well shod before *you load gew gaws np on them. Their health and comfort depend entirely upon it. This house has often advertised prices, always way down to the hard pan, the very bottom mark for low figures. 100 Main street.

DESERT.

Elsewhere the more substantial staple articles belonging to the list of things which make the dinner table groan as under a heavy weight, are described. Following the general repast is tho dessert, provision for which can nowhere else be made so well as a A.P.Lee A Bros. The French epicurean writes to say that "the dessert should be the girandole or crowning tableau of the dinner. It should surprise, astonish, dazzle, enchant. If the dinner have fully satt satisfied the sense of taste, and the well balanced appetite, the dessert should address to the soul through the eyes. It should rouse sensations of of surprise and admiration, and crown the enjoyments that commenced with the removal of the cover of the soup tureen—that Pandora's casket of a bad dinner, that joy and triumph of a successful and tasteful repast. Christmas will be a failure complete and signal if the dinner is not provided, for and worse still if the glorieus nuts, and oysters fresh fruits and canned, which give zest to the happy season and which eannot be found in greater abundance, or at cheaper rates than at A. P. Lee A Bros.' the excelsior dealers in trop* ical fruits.

QUEENSWAREf

Whatever may have been the original meaning [ot theHerm, it is now generally associated with beautiful

china, delicate toilet sets, superb table service, and all the little niceties which make a woman's heart fairly bound with joy. No present—wespeak advisedly—can a husband make to his Wife which will be more acceptable th«n something out of such a store. Thoo. Stahl has arranged his stock with such taste, and selected it with such care that it can not fail to please. Neat table service is not expensive, and it does render a homely meal much more palitable.

COOK & SON.

The winter is upon us, the season for sleighing and skating. It ia probable that before the hollidays are past these sports will be at their height. Now sleighing without bells is no sport at al: no more than skating without skates. The place to purchase both articles is at tke establishment of L. M. Cook & Son, who have a large and well selected stock of them. They also have a large stock of boys sleds, which for beauty and durability are not to be surpassed. Dont fail to btop at Cooks on your round.

SLAUGHTER & WATKINS.

This is the place to buy skates* pocket knives, sleds, table cutlery, spoons, forks, and all other articles which are to be found in the slock of a first class hardware establishment. w. w. BYEITS.

Following Letter from Dr. Frazier.

Believing that cleansing the blood w»i the only true way of banishing diseasa and being troubled witn a Scroiulona di* setiso, known as Salt Kheum- and Weak nessof the Lungs, and finding no eure, 1 commenced to experiment by compound, lug roots, using the medicine thua obtain ed. I fortunately discovered a moat won derlul Blood Searcher, or Bitters, whlcb not only gave me iustantaneous relief, bn after a few weeks' time, effected a perfect cure, I tnen prepared a quantity or Root Bitters, and was In the habit of giving them away to the sick. I found the med cine possessed the most wondorful vlrtueu, effecting cures of all diseases, originating from bad blood or weakness of tbe system, as If by magic. A.t last the demand became so great that I found myself called upon 10 supply patients with medlcin in all parte of the coutlnent, and I was compelled to establish

Labratory for compounding

and

bottling the Boot Bitters in large quantities. 1 was at firct backward in presenting either myself or runcdy to the public,

not

being a patent medicine man, and wltl limited capital, but 1 am getting bravel over that. Since I first advertised thi wonderfnl medicine lhave been crowde with orders from druggists and count) dealers, and the scores ot letters I recelv from peraoas cured, prove the fact that remedy has ever* done so much good a had such a success as the Boot Bitters.

Root Bitters are strictly a Medicinal Prep aration, such as was used In the good oi days of our forefathers, whn people wer cuied by some simple root or plant, ami when calomel and other poisons of th* mineral kingdom were unknown. For consumption,

Their search' lng, healing properties penetrate every portion nf the human frame, soothing tho luigsand 6trengtbleg the stomach, kid. ney*, and liver. For weakly, nervom youug men suffering from loss of memory etc., caused from abuses in early life, and te delicate females, these Root Bitters, nro especially recommended. No other medi cine will cure Scurvy, Salt Rheum, Bolls, Tetter,Ringworm, white Swelling, 8or Eyea, Running of the Ears, Ulcers, Fever Sores, Cancerous Formations, Dropsy. Eroslpelous. Pimples, Flesh Worms, Pustules, Blotches and all Skit, diseases, so quickly as tbe Root Bitters. All Root BittersTay th«» axeat the Root of th tree of disease, by searching and purifying the blood whic-1 will nourish and Invigorate every ongau and part of the body and keep It la repat until a ripe old age.

I warrant my Root Bitten a perfect curi for the ab ve and similar diseases, and lu case of lailure. where the medicine has bait a fair trial, will thank all to call or writa and get back their money.
