"Did we ever sell negroes here?" said an old gentleman to a crowd in a justice's office. "Well, we came as near it as any one could and not do it. When I was a boy they used to sell negroes for 'their keep' in this county. They would put them on a block and knock them ofi to the highest bidder, for a year. You fellows know the barber. Well, he was sold to a man who kept a hotel here. After the sale, and when the negro was brought to the hotel, the man's wife said: 'See here, now you are my nigger you inuBt do whatever I tell you.' The negro promised he would, but be told me he generally acted as he pleased."
The man who was talking is well known, and the colored man who he said was

NORftlAIi SIFTINGS.
Mr. M. D. Avery, the delegate of the Y. M. C. A. of the Normal to the state association of the Y. M. C. A'B of Indiana, left for South Bend last Thursday morning.
One of the good things done at the last meeting of tbe Normal school board was the appropriation of twentyfive dollars and three dailies to the newspaper class. This class, we are proud to say, is one of the attractive features of the Normal, being under tbe leadership of Miss Salmom. The work of tbe class is to find out the items of news, but would it not also be very appropriate to discuss political facts, not arguments but facts.
The school choir has been supplied with new books, and the music now delivered is enchanting. By way of complimenting the choir we would say that it is a very intelligent looking minstrel troupe. By strangers they are often mistaken for the faculty since the position of both is on the rostrum.
Mr. Jenkins, the science teacher, iB doing very effective work in his department, since he has the satisfaction of every student under him. Many of the students desire that he continue his scientific lectures so well begun last spring term.
We are very thankful to President Brown for postponing tbe afternoon session a half hour, thus givine an opportunity to these who wished to see and hear "Uncle Ben" last Thursday.
A quite interesting visitor was the board of health last Thursday. They visited the Normal in order to make a personal examination of each and every student to ascertain whether his vaccination was good or not. And the ladies 1 Oh, hush 1
The Eclectic Literary society last Friday evening was very good. Remarks of satisfaction were heard from all present, there being also a goodly crowd there. The programme was well executed, especially the impromptu speeches by Messrs. Roettger and Graves. This society can boast of havine the greatest original humorist in the Normal. We should be pleased to hear from him in the near future. The societies meet every Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Citizens of Terre Hante, as well as friends of the students, or the students themselves, are cordially invited to be present at these meetings. Gall again.
Normal brethren: It is not our desire to make public such jokes as may have been performed on you, but to state such nets as should be interest ing to the Normal readers ol the Express. It shall be oar duty to hang and lurk around wherever there may be any chance of getting an item of news, and then state it to the readers. Also, if you wish me to send in any news which may have come to your observation, it shall be done by addressing O. U. TATTLER,

IN SLAVER* DAYS.
Days When Negroes Were Sold and Whipped In Terre Hanle.
is now conducting a bar
ber shop here, owns a good house and lot, and has a family. "I notice," continued the talker, "that one of our great political parties always 'points with pride to the past.' I've seen colored men tied to a post in this town and publicly whipped. I remember one time a negro was arrested for some petty offense, taken before Brit Harrison, an old-time justice, tried and found guilty. He had no money, and he was tied to a post and given thirty-nine lashes. These things were common. Whenever a poor, starved colored man passed through here running away from a Kentucky master, we dared not help him. Those slave owners not only cracked the whip over the negro, but over us, and they even made us slave-catchers.
A KEM AUK ABLE PERFORMANCE.
One That Is As Strange As It Is Rare.
One of the most remarkable performances ever seen under canvas, or, in fact, anywhere elBe, is that of a man upon a spring wire, with a balance pole, who actually turns several backward and forward somersaults, from feet to feet. The most wonderful part of this statement is that while engaged in this extremely difficult and hazardous feat, the performer wears high heeled boots, reaching as high up as the knees, and to the heels of which are attached long wheel-spurs nearly a foot long. It was said of thisphenominal performance, when it was first seen in New York this spring, that it was the "most complete and daringly beautiful ever seen." Besides this, there are also met the Great Barnum and London Shows, as many as eighty circus acts of an equally high order, all given in three big circus rings, and upon an elevated stage, and in the great Roman hippodrome race track. There are also a museum of living wonders, ethnological congress of savage tribes, an elephant pavilion, containing a herd of forty elephants, exclusive of the only genuino white sacred elephant ever reaching a Christian country, and the only one King Theabau ever sold. This entire show, certainly the grandest ever organized, and far larger than the immense one Barnum, Bailey & Hutchinson had last year, and the whole huge affair will be here on Tuesday, October 7, with the great street parade in the morning at 8:30 o'clock.

Masonic Celebration In Ketr fork City— Tbe Hon. £. Mlltoa Turner's Speech' The Matrimonial Embrace—Ttiesday
Evening Sofclal—Personals—Quarterly Meeting This Afternoon.
On last Monday week, in Washington city, the colored Masons, together with visiting lodges from Baltimore, Frederick, Ind., and Richmond, Va.* celebrated the centenary of the organization of the first colored Masonic lodges in the United States, founded in Boston in 1781. In the afternoon the different lodges paraded the streets of the city, and at night a banquet was held at the old Van Ness mansion.
The Hon. J. Milton Turner, of Missouri, whose ability as speaker was bhjwn on his former Visit to our citjr, spoke in the Sixth ward Friday evening to a very large crowd. His speech of one hour was characterized with the political interest as before, and be gave a splendid review of the tariff question. Mr. Turner was the guest of J. H. Walker.
Last Thursday evening, at the A. M. E. church parsonage, the Rev. J. H. Clay pronounced the life long sentence of marriage upon Mr. George W. Smith, a cook at tbe Union Depot hotel and Miss Luetta Stewart, the grand-daughter of our well-known and highly esteemed friend, Dixon Stewart, of Lost Creek. The bride and groom have our best wishes for their success.
Last Tuesday evening was the event of quite a social gathering at the resi dence of Mr. Simon Daniels, on south Second street. The most prominent guests of the occasion being Miss Mary Kterrett, of New Albany Miss May Bell Larter, of Ohio, and Miss Lucy Baker, of Florida. After a few anecdotes after the Belleslettres style, and a few of the social games, the delicacies of the season were served in the most exquisite style. It is good for one to meet in asocial chat in Terre Haute.
Richard Melvin, of the Vandalia parlor car, was in the city Monday visiting during the time his car was in the shop undergoing repairs.
John Quincy Adams Work was one among the visitors to the St. Louis exposition last Monday.

Oa last Friday, near the Lost Creek settlement, the Republicans, both white and colored, held a very enthusiastic meeting and pole raising. A large crowd paid the closest attention to speeches by the Hon. J. Milton Turner and the Hon. F. C. Danaldson. The singing was grand, with Mr. Joe Davis at the head. The pole raised was 125 feet high. Hurrah for the Republicans of Lost Creek settlement.
Mrs. Ella Brown has been quite sick at the home of her parents, on east Main street, during the paet week. An attack of sore throat being the complaint.
George W. Walker, assistant chef de cusine of the Union Depot force, is fast building up a reputation as a firstclass knight of the cleaver. We hope friend Walker, unlike most of our second cooks, will seek for promotion. Locality is nothing to a man when he lacks courage and ambition to prompt his motives to higher aspirations. Q. W. W. will make a number one cook in any hotel gent's kitchen 'ere long,
The feast of our Lord's supper in commemoration of His death and sufferings will be spread at the south Third street church this afternoon at 3 o'clock. This is a feast emblematic of His, our Savior's great suffering and cross-bearing, the bread being emblematic of His fieeb and the wine of His blood. Each person partaking should think of their past career as Christians and try to improve their Christian ways in the future. A cordial invitation is extended to the wellwishers of the church to attend.

You favor of the I9th inst, with ineloshre, Was received, and the "baled hay" mailed herewith.
I do not generally advise young men to monkey with literature, but you seem to have been moderately successful so far, and it might be well to give it a thorough trial.
Yon should use great care, however, in selecting the field of literature which you intend to perspire in.
Do not be a humorist! If you are a humorist everybody else will have more fun out of it than you will. Yon will make some money out of it if you
fave
st the genuine afflatus, but you won't any fun. Humorists do not have fun. It is all a mistake. I am acquainted with one, and he says he has not smiled since he lost his twins. Once I heard of a humorist who had laughed twice in one summer, and I hunted him out.
He was not a humorist, but had some other trouble, the name of which has escaped my mind.

The Rink.
A large audience witnessed the skatingof Master Rapheel, at the Rink, last night Master Raphael's skating is equal to that of any expert skater that has ever visited our city. He is really a little wonder, only 9 years of age. His imitations of a dude, tough, and new beginner, are very comical. Mr. Breinig has telegraphed to his parents, asking them to let him remain over for Monday night. No one should miss seeing him. His exhibition is really worth five times the price of admission charged.
