THE STATE UNIVERSITY. Ihe Recent Rxcnrsion of the Senior College Discipline and the Oratorical Contest—An Odd, New Reptile—Personal and Other Notea. Jfcpccia] to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Ind., April 16—The State University takes the lead in natural history excursions. In the mud of middle March twenty of the seniors walked to Nashville, Brown county, studying the geology of the region. They were out three days, collected some gold dust and a wagon load of geodes. One of the seniors will discuss the formation of geodes as a commence2:.ent thesis. The sophomore class in botany will walk to Spencer the coming week collecting botanical specimens. In May the senior section will visit Mammoth Cave, and walk from there across country 120 miles to Cumberland Gap and Morristown—the best region to study geological formations in the Alleghenies. As in all these natural science excursions the parties are composed of both ladies and gentlemen, and attended by the professor of science, who gives lectures and information such as the locality or subject requires, these “science tramps” fill a place not taken by books or recitations. Professor Coulter, of Wabash, and Doctor Jordan, of the State University, are making them prominent portions of college work. Tney are optional with students, give exercise and strength, cost little money, and are popular with students, who by them get a discipline, knowledge and self-reliance gained In no other way. The great trip of the season is to Norway, Central and Southern Europe, leaving Bloomington on commencement day, and returning about Sept 20, three full months. The party is limited to twenty, is under the direction of Professor Jordan, with Mr. Spangler, the college librarian, as business manager. They have first-cabin passage to Antwerp and return, walk through the Norway mountains and the Swiss Alps, and visit the principal cities of Europe. The present party is a solid one. All are college graduates, several college professors, two Mt. Holyoke teachers. Ten ladies and seven gentlemen have engaged passage. Total expenses are under S4OO. This is the third European walking party managed by Dr. Jordan and Mr. Spangler The present company are mature men and women, able to make use of what they see —appreciative as well a.< enthusiastic. Footing it in Europe three months is cheaper than a trip to California, and almost as cheap as staying at home. This is not an advertisement; the party is made up. and Dr. Jordan says that it is probably the last that he shall conduct in Europe. Dr. Moss announced in chapel that next Sabbath he should lecture on college discipline. Not that the University needed it especially, for the order was never better than at the present term. The students go about as citizens, as gentlemen and ladies, each a law unto himself. There is little compulsion. The chapel services and Sunday afternoon lecture all must attend. The latter is made the subject of discussion by the senior class in ethics under Dr. Moss the following morning. Absence from chapel or recitation subjects the student to discipline. The result is, no time is lost or stolen. The attendance must be from the first term day. College recitations close at 1 p. m., the Bloomington dinner hour. The library and chemical and natural history libraries are open afternoons. The deportment of students on street and campus is of the highest order. Hard work is the secret of the good order. Students who do not come to grade are dropped out, and not allowed to elect other and easier studies. The sth of the coming May wili decide who may graduate. These decisive dates come every term, and to the lazy are a source of terror. THE ORATORICAL CONTEST. The excitement has died out among the citizens; the students showed little or none. The contestant, Mr. Asher, is denied the buildings and grounds. There has been more misstatement and misrepresentation in this case, according to the time, than in the Gougar-Mandler trial. The dismissal of Asher from the university had no relation to the plagiarized article, and occurred after his success at Indianapolis. It does not deprive him from going to the inter-State contest. He was not threatened suspension by the president if he appeared at the State contest. Mr. Asher had been suspended before; once on account of boyish tricks—such as making a collection of the good Professor Wylie’s spectacle-cases* from his table and rashly exhibiting them to his classmen. The Rev. A. L>. Phil putt, in a letter to the Bloomington Telephone, over his name, says the dispatch: “Hold the fort it all hazards. Appeal from the faculty to the board of trustees. You will be sustained by the citizens of Bloomington,” to which his name was signed, was a forgery so far as he was concerned. He says: “I never saw nor heard of this dispatch until I 6aw it in the News, nor did I authorize my name to be used.” There were two reports made by the judges selected by the Bloomington Oratorical Association. The first and true one was as follows, and was written by the Rev. Mr. Pbilputt: We, die uude.rslgned, chosen as a committee of arbitration to adjust a difference arising between tue Oratorical Association or Indiana University and W. R. Asher, their representative to the State contest, growing out of a charge of plagiarism made against Mr. Asher, report as follows: First, We find that the speech delivered at the primary contest, on which Mr. Asher won the prize, contained some nine or ten passages m which an unwarranted use of another writer’s language had been made. Secoud, That the new speech submitted bv Mr. Asher, in accordance with the article of agreement entered into net ween him and the association, and which is substantially his lirst speech, with th** passages iu question expurgated, is, in our judgment equal in merit to the latter, and, w> far as we know, may fairly bo claimed to be an original production. Third, That we consider Mr. Aslier still the legal representative of the local association to Ihe Btute contest. A second and garbled report was made up and published in the city papers, and has put the case falsely before the public. Mr. Asher was suspended for other and substantial reasons than those alleged. The State University lias taken the palm six out of the nine times they have contested. That there is little interest in it, or use to the school is the general feeling. It is believed that the fesult will be to advance the high standing af the college in all that pertains to honest work and good order, and especially if the case goes to the board. A PAIR OF BLOOMINGTON (iND.) SIRENS, Not of the ten young ladies in the senior class who tramped fifty miles last March aross the knobs and creeks to Weed Patch Hill, in Brown county, geologizing, and then got even with their escorts by making up a surprise party for them at Professor Clark’s. Arrayed in caps and costumes of the varioti9 Swiss cantons, the young ladies were 6iniply charming, and the ten young gents invited to “call this evening” met with no worse fate than to be taken in at Professor Clark’s and stuffed with fruit and cake as part payment for the corn-bread and sassafras tea they had so generously supplied the blooming, bloom-

ered and Bloomington geologists within the wilds of Brown county. Nor were they of that weird and uncanny tribe—believed to haunt all college towns of the State except moral and classical Bloomington—more dreaded by college faculties than wine, dynamite or oratorical contests. These sirens were not of the genus homo, but simply the siren lacertina of Linnants. Although river sirens they are not the dangerous lorelev of German myth, and were promptly captured by Messrs. Joseph Swain and Daniel A. Curry, the “lightweights” (210 pounds each) of the senior class in the willowy bayous of the White river, and were turn'ed over to Profs. Jordan and Gilbert. Said slimy salamanders are like the common mud puppy of White river, with the same bright red and bushy external gills, but unlike them in that they are minus hind legs, and do not either pelvis or corsets. They attain the length of a yard, but are no better to eat than the common mud puppy, which has been recommended from Cornell University as an edible batrachian. These are the first taken in Indiana, and the first known to have fallen alive into the iiattds of any naturalist. Previously they were only known to range south from the Ohio river. They eat fish worms voraciously, are ten inches long, spry and slippery as eels, and add, new reptile to the fauna of the State. I)r. Jordan has sent one alive to Prof. Burt Wilder, of Cornell University, that he may study its habits and anatomy, while the remaining one (sex unknown) is retained by Mr. Swain, and will be made the subject of a commencement thesis, unless (to avoid possible plagiarism) it is retained as a topic for an oratorical contest. PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. Hon. Robert Foster, who was pinioned under the timbers and brick during the late fire, has recovered so as to be on the street. His hair and eyelashes were scorched, and blinding lime nearly put his eyes out. He begged his friends to put an end to his misery, but deserting the property they 9aved his life by drenching him with water and cutting out the timbers that held him for over half an hour as in a vise. The engine presented by New Albany is in place, and works well. Dr. A. W. Brayton, of Indianapolis, lectured on Sabbath afternoon, in the college chapel, taking for his subject, "Society and Solitude, as Illustrated by the Life of Thoreau.” Rev. Oscar McCnlloch will lecture on the evening of April 18, in the regular course, on the “Contributions of Darwinism to Religion.” The spring flowers are out in force, trees are in leaf, the country roads passable and trade brisk. The season is several days in advance of the central portion of the State. HENDRICKS AND M’DONALD. Relations of the Two Statesmen—The Power Behind the Throne. National Republican. “How are Hendricks and McDonald?” I asked an ex-Deraocratic State officer of Indiana last evening in the course of a talk about 1884. “They are passably friendly,” was the answer. “Hendricks knows he is no longer a presidential possibility, and although he may not join the glad chorus that is singing McDonald's praises he will not produce discord. The relations between the two men are not so cordial as they might be were it not for differences between Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs. McDonald, and a few years ago this would have been an important factor in the battle. Until within a very recent period Mrs. Hendricks was a power in Indiana politics. She is in some sense a remarkable woman, but her advice to the ex-Governor has not always been good. It was her influence that led him to declare hostilities against Tilden, against the advice of all of his friends, a circumstance which prevented the renomination and re-election of the old ticket in 1876. The moguls of the party read the riot act to her a couple of years ago, talking to her as though she were a man, telling her in forcible and pointed English where she had made mistakes and why she must be less active in the future. “When the Senator and Mrs. McDonald visited Saratoga after their marriage, Mrs. Hendricks met them in the parlor of the Grand Union and was effusive in her cordiality, running clear across the room with both hands outstretched to greet Mrs. McDonald. Later in the season Mrs. Hendricks and the social set over which she rules undertook to “cut” Mrs. McDonald, and they are not now on good terms. Before Mrs. 11. lost her power this would have had great weight in Indiana, but the Democracy of the State has shifted its allegiance to McDonald. Governor Hendricks will not antagonize the McDonald movement, much as he might like to for social reasons. The two men have practiced before the Indianapolis bar together for twenty-live years and more, and were it not for the facts I have related they would be loyal comrades at arms.” Prosperity of a Newspaper. Chicago Letter iu Courier-Journal. A Sunday Inter Ocean is to be begun one week from to-morrow. The prosperity of this paper in its great weekly edition, as well ns the gradual and sure increase of the circulation of its daily, has compiled the company to f%JI into line with other papers here and issue a Sunday paper. It is expected that it will be made an exceedingly fine publication, from a literary as well as a news standpoint. The entire force of the Inter Ocean, editorial and local, are to meet tonight at the residence of the genial Inter Ocean general manager, Mr. William Penn Nixon, where a fraternal reunion is to be indulged in, and, probably, a very pleasant surprise given the boys in the shape of a generous advance in salaries in consideration of the paper's soon inaugurating the endless toil consequent upon issues every day in the week. Prospective Advance in the Market. Broadway Lounger. Tlte Hon. R. P. Flower is a presidental quantity; he was a formidable candidate against Cleveland, who lias receded, while Flower is going forward again, Mr, Flower has $1,000,000 in his business. He can put $500,000 in a better business. He wants the business. The convention will immediately mark up the market rates on reading this advertisement and remark to candidate Tilden: “The flour barrel opens well; what are the quotations for garden seeds?” A Treasonable anil Discourteous Speech. Chicago Herald. Carter Harrison carried out the principles of the hoodlum element by making a sj>eech treasonable to the party and discourteous to the guests, and earned the deadly hatred and supreme contempt of every one present. The leading gentlemen present gave their opinions of him and his discourteous language in very curt terms, and the demagogue has long before this recognized the fact that when he opened liis mouth he put his foot in it. Geueral Hancock. Gath’s Gossip. I saw General Hancock during the week walking in the afternoon; tiiue has hardly snared hint. He looks nearly as large and almost as imwieldlv as General JScott. His skin is of a copper-red hue and a white mustache lies upon it like a mutton chop with the wool on the outside roasting on the coals. I thought of the expression ‘Go and get some of the hair of the same dog and put it on the bite.” Sadden Changes of the weather of ton onuse pulmonary, bronchial and asthumtio trouble*.

A letter received in this city yesterday from Houston, Tex., by a prominent attorney, states that the writer bought four certificates in the Amicable Investment (Jon papy, of this city, paying upon them $341, and upon which he was to receive, at the end of one year, $4,000. The certificates matured recently, and after pressing demands for even a part of the money which was due him, the writer states that he received a letter from Mr. Bedford, the secretary, saj'ing: “I am very sorry we could not make any payment, and would advise yon as a friend not to pay any more money or send any money, os the company cannot hold out much longer.” The victim appears to bo in great distress of nttnd over his losses, and appeals to the attorney to assist hint to recover, by some means,

the money which he invested. He claims that the company is still circulating advertisements in that section of the couutry and making asses* merits upon the members whose certificates are not yet due. AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE—“HAZEL KIRKE.” The Madison Square Theater Company, at the Grand Opera-house last night, presented “Hazel Kirke” to a large audience, who turned out as if to welcome an old friend. It goes without saying that it is one of the best plays before the public, and probably no other combines so effectively all illume elements that make a drama popular. In it pathos and leomedy are so deftly mingled that tears aud smiles alike result. The present is called “the original company;” perhaps because Mr. who was In the original cast, is still the central figure. Aside from him, and possibly Mr. Milliken, the people are entirely new in the play here. Words need not be multiplied iu praising Mr. Contdook’s Dunsiau Kirk, lor it is perfeot. Miss Helen(Bijou) Heron gave an attractive and generally excellent performance of Hazel, and at the close of the scene with Lady Travers (Miss Roberts), in which she Wiia especially effective, she was honored with a call. Miss Ada Gilman’s Doliy Dutton was strikingly clever throughout, while Miss Mamie Osborne deserves commendation tor the thoroughness sin- displayed in a small part. Mrs. E. L. Davenport and Miss Roberts gave equally creditable presentations of the parts allotted to them. .Mr. Miller’s Travers was a trifle stiff and constrained, and did not compare at all favorably with Mr. Levick’s performance of the part. Mr. Howard’s Pitticus was amuMug, and the ’Squire Rodney of Mr. Cromptou, who has heretofore been seen only lu a character pan, was dignified and full of earnestness and force, while the minor parrs were well cast. “Hazel Kirke” will be repeated tonight, which oonciudes the engagement. “ESMERALDA.” The Madison Square Theater seem to think Indianapolis worthy of their very best efforts. The cast which will present Mrs. Burnett’s delightful comedy-drama, “Esmeralda,” at the Grand on next Friday and Saturday is the most powerful this excellent play has ever had. The cast was strong when it was presented here before, and to say that it has been sill! further strengthened Usaying considerable. Mr. George Clark, well and favorably known iu Indianapolis, lias been assigned the part of Dave Hardy, the young lover, aud will do it full justice. All the old favorites—John E. Owens, Mr. and Mrs. Wulcm, Annie Russell, Mrs. Wilson, and others —still remain, and an excellent entertainment may be expected. The inquiry for seats has already begun, aud the sale promises to be very large. English’s opera-house—“the mascotte.” Haverly’s Opera Company began a brief re-en-gagement at English’s last night, opening with a performance of “The Mascotte,” which was not such us was anticipated. To use a colloquial expression, the opera was very much undersung aud decidedly overacted. An effort was made to atone for vocal defects by plentiful “gagging” and burlesque business, but it was carried entirely too far. The company Is neither so large nor so strong as at its previous engagement here. Ainoug the principals there are, but two persons who can sing even tolerably well, and they are Miss Wiley and Miss Guenther. The former gave an original performance of Beilina, and one that deserves favorable consideration, and Miss Guenther was attractive as Fiumetia. Mr. Charles H. Drew, an old-time favorite, was the Pippo, but his voice is badly off, and Mr. Golden’s Lorenzo was so badly burlesqued and overdone, that it was not particularly fuuny, aud at times disgusting. Golden is a comedian or considerable versatility, but his Lorenzo is a very poor performance, and his alleged singing Is even worse. Mr. Paxton’s Frederick was really so bad as to be amusing. The ciiqrus is decidedly the best feature of the company, with the exception of Miss Wiley, who is an artiste. Tonight “The Murry War” will be given, and in it most of the company, aud especially Mr. Golden, have parts in which they can appear with credit. Their performance of “The Mascotte” is decidedly queer. NOTES. The “Zoo” is giviug a straight variety bill this week, which enlists the efforts of a number of excellent specialty people, and a good bill is given. The sixth regular entertainment of the Mmnnerclior Society will take place this evening, for which an attractive programme has beeu arranged. Jay Rial’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” Company, which is reported to be the best traveling, will be the attraction at English’s the last three nights of the week. Miss Sara Jewett, who has withdrawn pernanciitly from the Union Square company, is now going to take up Shakespearean roles, and will make her first appearance in this line in Chicago in August next. Miss Constance Heine will have a benefit concert at Pfaftiin’s Mimic hull to-morrow night, at which Mr. and Mrs. Heine, Mr. Kenning*, A. Loury, Miss Naunette Schniiil, Mrs. M. Hill, Mr. F. L. Mayer, Prof. Newlaud, Miss Anna Despa, Mr. and Mrs. Spades, and Mr. Sydney Ruado will assist. _ PERSONAL. Frank M. Ryan has gone East. C. 8. Dunn, of Peru, is at the Bates. J. D.
