SOCIETY, MUSIC AND ART. rAH matters of interest and items of news, whether hi the city or State, proper for this department, will be printed if projierly authenticated.] Review of the Week. There still continues the same flitting back ami forth of society people as has characterized their movements during the entire summer. No one goes away to remain long, and those comingstay but a few days. The past week has been cooler but there have been but few gatherings to chronicle. Mrs. W. P. Bingham, Mrs. David Swain, and Mrs. George Brecouut, gave progressive euchre parties. The marriage ceremony of Mr. John W. Schmidt and Miss Lillie Schmidt, also that of Mr. Chas. Unversall and Miss Emma Wray, occurred. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Hollingsworth were given a surprise party, and members of the Third O. S. Society were entertained by Mrs. Robert Richardson. Boating upon the canal seems to be quite the rage, and is enjoyed by the young people to a great extent. There are many kinds of out door amusements .that are indulged in by the English people that it would be well for our country people to imitate. Lawn tenuis is delightful, but is little played here. Hiding and walking parties are only occasionally enjoyed. “Hide and seek,” and the like, are beneath the dignity of our belies and beaux, and yet across the water the halls and rooms of the old manor houses resound with laughter from this pleasurable 'amusement, which can be played as well in groves and upon lawns. Another means of enjoyment is dancing upon tho turf, or breakfast parties under the thade of some sheltering trees. No doubt there will be a brilliant autumn and winter season following the dearth of the present month, when all the homes are again opened, and a round of gayety will prevail. Until then society must be content to fan herself into a reposeful bearing, with little or nothing to ruffle the serenity of the summer existence. Society. Mrs. A. R. Benton is sojourning in New York’ Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Chadwick are at Put-in-Bay. Mrs. Charles Talbott is visiting in Crawfordsfille. Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Haughev are visiting Acton.

and Mr. Bryce returned on Saturday. Mr. Short will remain two weeks longer. It is the intention of the ladies to spend the remainder of the summer at Waukesha, Wis.

Ritzinger, Mrs. Joe Lilly and Messrs. Ransdall and Sloan. The Kindergarten Association, now camping at Bloomingdale Glens, comprise about twentvfire persons. They will sojourn in this beautiful retreat for two weeks. No doubt their camp will be visited by a large number of their friends from the city. Many of the leading families are spending the summer quetly in camping out at points convenient to the city, and find enjoyment in the same. Among those spending the warm term in this manner are the families of Judge Solomon Claypool, General Carnahan, J. N. Scott, and several others. • Mrs. W. P. Bingham entertained a fewfriends, on Thursday evening, at a progressive euchre party. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Vey, Mr. and Mrs. Brecount, Mr. and Mrs. Drew, Mr. and Mrs. Stout, Mr. and Mrs. Cathie, and others.' Mrs. Dr. Vey and Mr. Geo.

After the repast they were invited by the host to enjoy the opera of “Mikado” at the Belvidere. The concert given at Greenfield, on Monday night, by Mrs. Constance Heine Mozzara and husband, was well attended by a delighted audience. Mrs. Alice Thayer, Miss Anna Harris, Mrs. Belle ilammel and others, of that city, rendered valuable vocal assistance. “My Faith Looks Up to Thee,” and “Nearer My God to Thee,” two well known hymns, will hereafter have a special popularity among the people of this country, as being the selections made for the funeral ceremony of General Grant, at Mount McGregor. The strains must have been touchingly impressive when sung by that vast assemblage on the height of that wild mountain, where nature seems, in the silence, to commune constantly with God. Why is it that, in most instances, when a young lady marries, she gradually gives up her practice upon the piano, and in a few years is heard to say, at social gatherings, “I used to play, but have given it. up since 1 was married.” There soerns to be little excuse for this state of affairs. Two hours a day will keep a person, who does not care to become a professional, in moderate practice. Surely that time can bo taken out of twenty four hours, for the development of an art that brings pleasure into the home circle and adds a refreshment to its social status. Miss Viola Gordon, the talented daughter of Major Gordon, who is teaching with ereat success a class of music in Charleston, 111., visited her father last week. Miss Gordon plays the piano with rare skill and exquisite touch. Os late she has composed several waltzes that rank high among the compositions presented to the public. Her last piece is entitled “Apparition Waltz.” and is as fantastic and weird a. set of melodies as the title would suggest. She was accompanied on her visit here by her cousin Miss Floy Wright, a highly intelligent young lady of Charleston.

Her rooms are filled with her work. She returned from a pleasant visit to Adrian, Mich., last week. Miss Lou Pattison, who is possessed of remarkable artistic talent, will return to this city early in September to spend a few weeks with her aunt. Mrs. Frank Blanchard. Mrs. Mena Griffin Ogan has in her possession a painting done in water color by lier aunt. Lydia Cecil a Griffin, at boarding school in Baltimore, Md.. in 1812.

The “Lotus Eaters,” a copy of the original painting of that name, by Prof. R. L. Jacobs, has be*m purchased by Mr. R. E. Moore. The original painting was.valued at $20,000. Prof. Jacobs is at present north, in the lake country, and will return to this city soon to finish several portraits of promiuent people, for which he has orders. Miss Kinoie Voss leaves for New York tomorrow, from which point she will sail for Europe in company with Rev. Carrier and wife.

For some time past the lady has been carefully selecting choice airs that have pleased her ear, which, together with melodies from the standard operas, will form thei list of pieces for the musical instrument which will be ordered, and which, when finished, will be the finest ever brought to this city.

Hollingsworth were surprised on Tuesday by nearly two hundred of their friends and neighbors, who were’on hand to celebrate tho birthday of Mrs. Hollingsworth.

FRATERNITY NOTES. I. O. O. F. Herndon Lodge, at Edinburg, is doing considerable work. The initiatory degree was conferred by Indianapolis Lodge Friday night. Miss Alice Coval. of Olive Branch Lodge, D. of R., is lying very low with consumption. Miss Morgan, vice-grand of the Rebekah Degree Lodge, at Knightstown, is in the city visiting triends. There are eighty five lodges in Germany, located in forty-nine different cities, and seven encampments. Palestine Encampment, of Lynn, Mass., contemplate a Western tour this fall. They como as far west as Cleveland. Grand Patriarch Porter has gone to Connecticut to visit his father. He will not return before the latter part of September. Many friends will regret the serious illness of Mrs. H. McCoy, wife of H. McCoy, P. G. M. She is reported better, with hopes of final re covery. Mr. Muldoon, the contractor for the Ridgely monument, expects to complete the structure by Sept. 1. The unteiling will take place on tho 22d in st. Win. Whitridge, who was killed at Seymour. Wednesday, was a member of Capital Lodge, of this city. He has been a member of the grand lodge for forty-three years. The officers of Fidelity Lodge meet every Wednesday afternoon for rehearsal. The costumes are in course of making, and at an early date the ‘“beautified work” will be introduced in the lodge. Hon. W. W. Cnrry, of Philoxenian Lodge, delivered the address at the Grant memorial services at Greensburg yesterday. He wili leave for a trip through Kansas on Sunday, accompanied by Major 1.48. Glover, recently of Havre, France. A brother lacking interest or neglecting to attend his lodge meetings is a living condemnation of the order in the eyes of the uninitiated. They conclude that the order is of little value or no use to that member, and hence would be of no value to them, and they decline to unite themselves with it. It is claimed that Mrs. Sarah F. Meador, of Lynn, Mass., was the first lady elected Noble Grand of a Rebekah lodge. As all lodges elected noble grands, and some of them ladies, on the last meeting in December after the law was passed, it is questionable whether the claim can be maintained. The convention of Rebekah Lodges of Wisconsin recently met at Appleton, and organized permanently. They asked to be admitted to the Grand Lodge (which was in session) during the exemplification of the secret work of that degree. The Grand Lodge could not comply with tho request, but sent the representatives to Sovereign Grand Lodge to the convention to instruct in that work. All advancement in this world is the result of well directed energy and industry. This applies with equal force to iodees. All individuals who try to better their condition generally succeed. So it is with lodges. It would be weil to understand that an effort is necessary to the advancement of any cause, and if the effort is made by all interested, at the sumo time and in harnconj’t the greater will be the result. Some of the fraternal papers are speaking in high terms of the authors of the revised ritual, and some credit the composition to Nicholson and some to Garey, entirely forgetting Shaffner. But he is dead. The facts are, Nicholson revised the initiatory. Garey wrote the first and second, and Hhaffner wrote the third. But it was Henry Denver, of De Soto lodge, Springfield, Mass, who discovered and brought out the dramatic in them, and it is mainly through the efforts of De Soto lodge, led by Denver, that the degrees have become popular. Restraining a Town. An order was granted by Judge Woods yesterday, upon the petition of the receiver of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis railway, restraining the town of Rocfcport from draining the sewage of the town on the company's tracks.
