SCHOOL OF ELOCUTION!

Mrs. Kibsch’s Class in Elocution will commence Monday April 6th. It will be Held on each Monday and Thursday, from 4 to 5 p. m., at the Public School Building. It will close with a Prize Contest. First Prize, *3. Second Prize, s 2. Tuition for ten class lessons, $2. A reduction will be made when two or more pupils from the same : amily join the class. Private lessons $1 each. No book needed. Mahone says he is ashamed of Riddleberger. This i« an evidence that no one can get so low as to be beneath the influence of self-respect. Those republicans who are gloating over the enforcement of the civil service act seem to have forgotten that the unwritten law, entitled “Turn the Rascals Out,” will cover most of the offices. . General Hazen probably deserves to be convicted, but if he had half the ability as a liar that General Swaim exhibited when that gentleman was under investigation, he would go scot free.—Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot.

The anguish which fills the souls of the republican office holders at the prospect of being turned out is only equaled by the anguish which rends the columns of the republican papers because the democrats won’t quarrel over the offices. Secretary Lamar has addressed a letter of instructions to the Commissioner of the General Land Office concerning the disposition of the forfeited land grant of the Texas Pacific Railroad (directing that notice be given by publication for at least thirty days in each of the several districts that the lands have been restored to the public domain, and that the books of the respective offices are open for entry and location of the same at $2,50 per acre, as provided for under the homestead, pre-emption and other general laws of the United States relating to the disoosal of unoccupied public lands.

As the Republican Secretary of the Interior walked out through the back door of that Department with the “Backbone” patent of forfeited lands for his former railway employers, the Democtatic secretary walked in at the front to at once throw open to settlement the forfeited Texas Pacific land grant. See illustrated in Mr. Teller and Mr. Lamar the spirit of their respective parties: the former the friend and tool of corporations—the latter the friend of the people.— While Secretary Lamar was issuing instructions for opening the forfeited Texas Pacific grant to settlement, Mr. Van Wyck, a Republican Senator, was administering from the floor of the Senate a severe castigation to the Republican ex-Secretary for having fraudulently taken from the Government and delivered to a corporation over 70’»,00> acres of the public domain “Look on this picture and then on that,” and who will say the Democrat is not the better looking?

President Cleveland’s expression “offensively partisan” is disturbing the lexicographic brains of the organs. The Commercial Gazette says the term is one “that will include ninety-nine out of every 100 Republican office holders and make the way clear for a clean sweep.” That ninety-nine out of every 100 Republican officeholders have been “offensively partisan” is about the size of it, and to the extent of their influence the organs made them so. Indeed they blackguarded the other one because Tie was not also thus “offensively partisan.”

Saving Souls in Iowa.

Ghif«go Hearld. “Have you any dinamite?” “No, sir- we don’t keep it. — None of the regular stores in Chicago do. What did you want it for?’ “Business.” ‘Well, we haven’t got any What kind of business do you want it for?’ ‘Church bu siness. ‘What?’ ‘Church business. You see, there’s a big rivalry between two denominations in my neighborhood in the business of saving souls. The one I belong to is getting left. The other fellows have got the bulge on us, and we held a church council last week and decided to blow up their concern with dynamite some dark night’ " here do you live, anyway?’ ‘Oh, out in >owa.’

Medical Advice by Telephone.

Husband.—My wife has a severe pain in the back of her neck, and complains of a sort of soreness in thestomach. Physician.—She has n alarial colic. Husband.—What shall 1 do for her? [The girl at the ‘central’ switches off to a machinist talking to a saw-mill man.] Machinist to Husband—l think she is covered with scales inside, about an inch thick. Let her c ol down dur ing the night and before she fires up in the morning, take a hammer and pound her thoroughly all over, and then take a hose and hitch it to the fireplug and, wash her out.’ Husband has no further need of this doctor—Medical Journal

Rival Col red Exhorters.

Every plantation and neighborhood has one or more “exhorter,’ ‘class leader,’ or ‘licentiate,’ who is regarded by his set as a leader in everything—more especially in politics and religion. An instance which aptly illustrates the spirit oi jealousy that often exists between the class of pulpit ora tors just referred to was related to the writer a few days ago by a prominent citizen of Lee county. He had occasion to visit a plantation some miles from his own, and who was accompanied by a colored divine who was in his employ. During the day his pious companion met another preacher of the same complexion, and when the two sable elects met face to face our informant overheard the following dialogue between them: ‘Good mornin, Brudder Sims.’ ‘Mawnin’, sir; dat’s Brudder Slappey, I believe; how do you do dis mawnin’?’ ‘Jes’ tolerable—how’s you?’ ‘l’m so’s to be about, thanks de Lawd.’

‘You gwine to stay ’bout here to-night, Brudder Sims?’ if : ‘ Well’ I dunno; I’se jes’ passin’ ’bout wid Mt. , an’ I dunno wherer we’ll get outen de settlement ’fo’ night or no.’ ‘ Well, 1 jes dar’s you to stay on dis plantashun an’ meet me down at de chu’ch to-night— Tse done heerd ’bout yo’ braggin’ as how you could beat me er preachin’, an’ now l jes’ wants to git you down to de chu’ch wunst, an’ I’ll show you wherer you can beat me a preachirJ or not’

‘Yes, I can beat you, too, an’ fur as dat’s concerned I’d like to stay an’ lay it on to you tonight. I’se been heerin’ ’bout braggin’ too, an’ I’d jes’ like to get de < hance to show you wher’er I can preach or not. ‘ vV ell, den, jes’ stay over if you dar—stay over, dat’s all I want you to do!’ ‘Sartin I will if I can, an’ if I can’t t’se gwine to meet you Providence permittin’, de very naixt chance I gits; an’when I does giter hold of you I’ll show you dat I wasn’t called o’ de Lawd for nuth’n’.’ -Atlanta Constitution.

NUMBER 9.

DEATH OF A REPRESENTATIVE.

The Sudden End of a Long Professional Career. Indianapolis News. March 23id. Hon. William W. Browning the representative of the counties of Brown and Monroe, and one of the leading democrats of the house, died at 11 o'clock last night at his boarding house, No. 121 North. Delaware street. He had been sick about a. week, of a comglicationof erysipelas and inanimation or the lungs, the result of a cold contracted by undue exposure, but his condition was not regarded as dangerous until last night, two hours before he died. Mr. Browning was fifty-five years of age and had occupied various positions of honor and distinction. He went out in the Twenty-second Indiana at the beginning of the war. and was a brave and gallant soldier, being compelled to leave* the service eventually on account of bad health. Sinco the war he has lived in Nashville, Brown county, engaged in preaching and practicing law. He was doorkeeper of the House of Representatives in 1857, a member in 187 L and prosecuting attorney of the> Ninth circnit in 1875-76. During the present session he Las been one of the most influential democrats on the floor of the house, being: especially forcible and effective in extemporaneous debate. ACTION. OF THE HOUSE. The desk and chair of the late Representative Browning weie covered with crape, ana on the former was an anchor of beautiful, white flowers,; at the opening of the House this morning, and Mr. Smith, of Tippecanoe c >unty, who invoked the Divine blessing, made a feeling prayer After the formal opening exercises, the same gentleman, after referring in an appropriate manner to the death of Mr. Browning and his distinguished military and political services, moved that the House after appointing the proper com-’ mittees adjourn, to meet informally this afternoon and escort the remains of the deceased to the depot, which was agreed to

Mr. Adams moved for the appointment of six to attend the funeral, and the Speaker said that in selecting those gentlemen he was inclined to name ex-union soldiers—three from each side of the House —and the committee was made to consist of Messrs. Lloyd,. Medcalf, Barr,Helms, Linville, Mosier, and Mr. Adams, a personal friend of Mr. family, was added and made chairman. Mr. Sears then mojed that a memorial committee, consisting of eight members be appointed, and it was'made to consist of Messrs. Sears, Twineham,Smith, Copeland, Staley, Pleasants.Erench and Eley. The House then adjourned and met again this afternoon at 2 o’clock, when the members and officers, all wearing appropriate mourning badges, escorted the remains of Mr. Browning to the depot

Senator Morrill wants an investigation of the senate contingent fund. In the language of Mr. Charles Emory Smith and Ned Buntline, “the olof thickens.” Senator Sherman refuses to serve on a committee with Senator Morrill. Senate r Van Wyck charges Senator T-41 t with corruption as Secretary of the Interior, ana now Senator Morrill, by implication, charges the custodian of the contingent fund with crookedness. The republican party is a happy family.
