Town-Talk.

31 It. SAMUEL DODSOX

has come promptly to tho front and denied the charges which T. T. found in the mouths ol »o many people. Henceforth let every citizen of Terre-Haute coase repeating these stories. Mr. Dodaon has no easy or pleasant task. If he is doing the best be can, and is as caretul as he says, which T. T. fully believes, then he is entitled to grateful praises instead of curses. Henceforth 4ff. T. will bold Sam. Dodson a public benefactor, and will fight any man who hints to the contrary. The chief of the police and his physician have not responded as promptly as S. D., and they rest under unpleasant suspicions. T. T. hopes they are unjust.

A NOTE ON POLITICAL SCRATCHING has been called out by what T. T. said upon this subject last week. As it Is vigorous In style, it may go the public.

Tows TALK—Sir I see that people sometimes address notes to you In reference to subjects touched upon in your columns in The Mail. Now, sir, I bavo some very decided opinions in reference to the subject of "scratching." I do not agree with you at all. I say scratch. I believe in scratching. It is the only means by which the individual can protect himself against the tyranny of party politics. I am not, and will not be bouod by any caucus, no matter whether I am in it or not. A caucus has no more power than it has reason in its action. If a company of men have met and said that a certain man is the best man for an office why that is an argument in that man's lavor. But if I am fullv convinced that the man named

total

ly unfit for the place, do you suppose I will vole for him because the caucus says he is the man? No sir! T. T. you may say, "don't scratch" as much as you please, but I will not vote against my judgment or mv conscience, llie only way to reach and control the rings which manage caucuses is to make them afraid. And the wav to make them afraid is to scratch. I am not going to vote for a fool because he is nominated by the party with which I usually act. If the other party gives me a sensible candidate for the office I'll scratch—and put in t'other man. Yes sir, Mr. Town Talk, I will do it every time. So I say scratch. Scratch for your country's good. Scratch for the g'. od of the party. Scratch to make wire workers have a wholesome fear. Sciatch early, lute, and often. You may publish this or not. Its my sentiments. «, ours, etc.,

MPs®W I TIIE NOHMAL SCHOOL has had its commencement. By the way can any body tell why the end of a oourse In a literary institution is callod a commencement? Is It the beginning of the end or what is it The commencement has como and gone. If T. T. bad been present he might have found some items. As he conscientiously avoids auguriferous exercises, he is compelled to go to tho three papers, all daily for his items. T. T. has an eye to the beautiful, and learning that there were somo young ladies in the graduating class be went to the papers for descriptions. His search was vain. Society is disappointed, so is T. T. What had these young ladies done that they were not entitled to a description of dress and form as well as the first graduates.,

Another thing puuled T. T. He thought that the exercises were intended for the graduating class. Instead of this the papers tell what the children did, and how well the children had beon trained. Is it truo that these graduates have been teaching? T. T. thought they had been learning to teach. T. T. asked some one connected with the school about this, he said, "It is evident that the reporters did not understand what they attempted to report." Ah. well newspaper men cannot know every thing.

day. It was a general holiday, being the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, and the opening day of the jubilee. Stores were all closed, all business suspended, and all creation in the streets. Such a jam I never before witnessed, I got wedged into the gorge and could not budge an inch either way for more than an hour. It was the warmest embrace I ever experienced. At last I escaped, got my tickets—live dollars each—and returned. The next Jdayjwe all attended the concert. The Coliseum has been constructed with considerable architectural taste, and makes a gorgeous appearance ipslde. It Is well arranged for hearlug and seeing. Our seats were among the best, near the singers' platform, and the leaders stand. The programme was a good one, and introduced all the principal celebrities. The building was not full, but the singers were out in good

June 24,1872.

We came away for the

purpose of a few weeks sojourn on the sea shore in the Dear vicinity of Boston, not knowing where. The train* were all crowded with vast multitude* going lo the great jubilee, some as lookers on, bat mostly clnbs, societies and or* ganlsatlons that wwre to take part. The scene In the oars was frequently enlivened by vocal and Instrumental rehearsals. As we neared Boston It seemed that all the world was tending to that point. Such a tide had been pouring into Boston for a day or two previous, that we found It impossible to get quartan there over Sunday, and we struck oat, for this place, which is ten or twelve mile* ftots Boston. We have obtained temporary boarding, but may {go some where else after a ft* days- It Is a beautiful, romantic place, crowded during the sultry season, hut sot yst foil, a* the

force—estimated

seventeen thousand. The choruses were rendered as well as could be, by so large a number. The noise was furious and immense, a kind of harmonious bedlam. There could be no discordant sounds all the wrestling within and the rattling of carriages, engines and railroads without were taken up by the overpowering music of the choruses and made to harmonize. All the pieces were loudly applauded and the enthusiasm was great. The prima donnas, and tho distinguished artists reoeived all the demonstrative applause they could ask or desire, but the principal Interest seemed to center in the band of the English Grenadine Guards and their leader. Their music certainly did excel any instrumental music I ever heard. They led both the national anthems, "God save the Queen," and the "Star Spangled Banner." Mr. Gilmore conducted the first and there was a break, they got out of time, when Godfrey took the baton, he mounted the stand snd put them through again in perfect time, followed by the most thundering applause. He then took up the Star Spangled Banner and put them through that. It was responded to by the

wildest,

most

unbounded, uproarous demonstrations of applause ^ver witnessed stamping of feet, clapping of hands, swinging of bats, and hurrahing, waving of handkerchiefs, and every conclevable expression of frenzied delight. It was that which brought me to my feet and set me giratlng fantastically. Mrs. K's eyes were a fountain of tears, Mrs. R's feelings too deep for utterance. It was glorious. It being led by the English Grenadine band and conducted by their leader, was a touching incident and

doubt had something to do with

arousing the furor. We have attended but the one concert as yet, but shall attend others. The price of tickets has been too high to fill the house. It will be lower this week, and the attendance will bo greater. The President is billed for one day this week. The programme that day will be one of the best and draw a full house. We intend to go

His mother fell asleep, his sister groaned, his brother asked him to hold up as they had quite enough of that shower of words without wit, and at last his wife tapped him upon the shoulder with the sweetest possible "won't that do?" He then saw how it was himself, burned his portfolio, recovered his digestion, and has been a happy man ever sinco. What a blessed relief to editors and the rest of mankind would more of our literary aspirants try this prescription.
