The Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks has returned from the East, where he has been repeatedly interviewed by proxy. My. Wm. Henderson was the proxy, but strange to say Hendricks does not know anything about these interviews. It is very funny.

The oyster season has formally opened. At present most of the oysters shipped to the west come from New York. Next month oysters from the Chesapeake bay and tributaries will be better than now, and the west preferring them, the demand from New York will fall off in favor of Baltimore.

Now is the time the parent is heard bewailing the expensiveness of present day education, and as he goes down into his pocket for the money to buy school books tells how different it was when he was a boy. "Then the wlilnliig school boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like

The consul general of the United States at liome reports that in the series of contests between the combined reaping and mowing machines manufactured in several countries, those manufactured in the United States took all the premiums.

Maybe it would suit, the croakers If the capital of the state were moved back to Corydon?—Indianapolis Journal.

The trouble with our Indianapolis friends arises from a misapprehension. They persist in thinking the state pride in the beautiful capital city is to be subjected to a pecuniary assessment. We are willing to contribute to the glory of the city of concentric circles but the order to "stand and deliver" grates justa little too much on our tender sensibilities.

Reports from the Atlantic coast are to the effect that old ocean was particularly grand in its display last week, the waves rolling higher than ever witnessed for a life time back. Captains of incoming transatlantic vessels say they rarely ever witnessed such tem* pestuous weather as during the past ten days, and last night's dispatches tell of gales, hurricanes and earth quakes in Europe. Scientists are given a rare amount of material with which to form theories, and that is about as far as they can get.

pany the public was directly benefitted thereby. He said it had been proved impractical to put wires underground because they must be accessible for repairs, but he could not make this statement consist with the fact that the inaccessible cables were working very well. He was decidedly againt a government telegraph. Commenting on his testimony in that regard the New York Times Bays: "When he says that a government telegraph would be less effective than lines operated by private companies, we fear he is talking with a looseness that even prejudice cannot excuse. If a government telegraph could not get a dispatch through from St. Paul to this city in less than four hours—which is the present average time occupied by the Western Union company—we should most emphatically urge change of government."

To the Editor of the Express. SIR: While wasting time on a small matter, It may at least be appropriate to remark that "Citizen," by his article in the Saturday Herald, like ancient Dogberry, has written himself an ass. A suitable P.

THE SCHOOLS.

Attendance Ever

Known in Terra Haute on Opening Day.

Tlie Change in Text Books—What it Costs to Support Oar Schools,

Yesterday morning the school bells called thousands of children to the buildings whose interiors hail not known them since the latter part of June. There was a hunting up of old books, purchasing of new ones, and a hurrying away so as not to be tardy. An Express reporter called on Prof. Wiley, yesterday evening, and found him up to his chin in work. "The schools are fuller than I ever knew them to be on opening day," said he. "Several districts report that they can accommodate no more." "What are the changes in the text books?" "In the fifth year grade south of Main street, a new book will be tried as an experiment. It is entitled "How to Talk. In the high school a change will be made in algebras." "Are these all thechanges?" ,t-H "Yes."

This will be good news to parents. Changes in text books cost money, and there are many who cannot afford it.

The book stores were crowded all day with children purchasing new 'books. This is made necessary in some instances when children are promoted to higher grades, and when unable to exchange.

Our school housts will seat 3,900 scholars, which is at present inadequate. Good teachers are employed -and liberal salaries paid. The cost of maintaining our public schools will not vary far from $60,000 per year. This includes salaries, fuel, lights everything. According to Superintendent

Wiley's report for 1880-81, the amount paid out for teachers was $43,357.15. This was an average of $9.00 per pupil. In 1882 there were in Terre Haute 9,695 children entitled to school privileges. As the number enrolled was only 4,516, it will be seen thnt hardly half entitled to school privileges attended. This can be accounted for in many ways. Many parenes will not send their children to school, and many will not attend. Many are compelled to work after they reach the age of ten or twelve. But there is little doubt that nearly all enjov the privileges of schools, as in 1882 there were only twenty-four in the city between the ages of ten and twenty-one who could neither read nor write.

School Notes.

The Normal opens to-morrow. Regular study begins this morning. St. Mary's Academy opened yesterday.

It is feared that there will not be seating capacitv in the high school for all who wish" to attend. Yesterday morning 278 pupils were enrolled, as against 256 on the first day last year.

THAT BABY.

The Argument in the Sheets-Joab Habeas Corpus Case.

The habeas corpus case of Mrs. Alice Sheets vs. Michael Moses Joab, was argued in the Superior court yesterday before Judge Allen. The plaintiff was represented by Stimson & Stimson and Judge Rhoads, and the defendant by the same gang of lawyers he has secured in his efforts against the Express. Michael Moses sat near his attorneys, smiling and frowning alternately. His brother, George Columbus, was present, his countenance beaming with smiles. Judge McNutt was the leader of Michael Moses' attorneys. He cited many points at law to prove that Michael Moses should have the custody of the child. The argument was concluded at 4:30, and court adjourned till this morning. The judge took the case under advisement.

Mrs. Sheets was present, but was in the witness room most of the time. The child, whose possession is causing all the dispute, was brought to the city. Mrs. Sheets'little girl, half sister to the child of which Joab is father, cried very bitterly to see the little fellow, and Mr. Stimson took her over to the office of Michael Moses. The meeting of the little ones was very affecting. .y

The following, written by a wellknown citizen, was handed in yesterday :.

The Oratorio.

The Oratorio held its first regular meeting of the year last night in its hall in the formal building. A full attendance was present. No business of importance was transacted except the adoption of a measure which increases the admission fee to $5 for gentlemen and $3 for ladies. The society rehearsed several pieces before adjournment.

Mrs. Belle McLeod Smith was present and favored the society with an Italian piece. To an encore she gave, "Thou Lovest Me Not." Mrs. Smith completely captured the audience. She posesses a remarkable voice, it being full, strong and of wonderful richness. Her voice is pronounced by competent judges as ranking with our best opeir atic singers in melody. Mrs. Smith, beside having a fine voice, is natural, and gives an expression to her singing which cannot fail to deeply impress the hearers. She will give a concert at the Opera house the 17th of tbiB mouth. She will be assisted by the Oratorio, which will render two choruses. TJie house will undoubtedly be crowded, as the public already recognize her ability as a singer and are anxious to hear her.
