WB con remember of no more forolblo illustration of women's influence upon children than the Right, one day this week, of a little miss of six years, promenading up and down the sidewalk on Seventh street, with a parasol janntHy toswd oY«r shoulder, and the skirt of her short dress clutched behind in her left hand. The child evidently imagined herself a bewitching society belle in a flounced summer silk, and tho grace and stiffness of her movements would have daer-led the proudest peacock thai eyw strutted around a barnyard.
T. DK WITT TALMAQK will lecture next Friday evening, at the Opera House, ills subject will be "The Bright Sido of Things," There may be a few of our readers who do not know the ability of this famous lecturer for the benefit of the few wo copy the following from the Philadelphia Bulletin:
Musical Fund Uall was filled to overflowing last night by all classes of peo pie, anxious to hear the grvat Talinag*. Personally we know of f*»w treats combluing aiuusouieut with intellectual enjoyment more thoroughly than his lectnre on "The Bright Side ol Thing*," without manuscript, note, or any aid whatever to memory, and all the while with that abandon ol feeling only looked for on the stage, and this leads u»to the remark which gives point to this btief notice, and without the Intention of which It would not have been written. Whatever he may be as an orator, •locution 1st, or dramatic -reader, it is very evldeut to the c!o*e observer that his best celebrity would have been won on the stage, lie is a natural aotor—the one requirement after all, without which tne career of an orator would be up hill work, even If failure ta not a foregone conclusion. In this gentleman every word and thought have their appropriate motion aud gesture.

3 REMEMBERING THE BRA VE. A floral offering once a year is a fit ting and boantiful tribute to the mem•ory of the bravo dead. It is a small aer vice to render at the graves of men who laid down their lives to save the integrity of the nation and let the oppressed go free. It can do them no good. But the act appeals to the patriotism and gratitude of our people. It awakens sad and heroic memories. It reminds na of the fearful price that has been paid for onr privileges and trusts. It gives new sense of the greatness of our responsibilities. It ought to inspire every American with a determination to make the country worth all it has cost in toll and treasure and heart's blood.,
And so it is gratifying to see the increased respect shown Decoration Day, as the years roll by. The demonstration last Thursday was the largest and most imposing ever witnessed la this city. The morning dawned cool, and all the forenoon threatened rain, but towards noon the clouds cleared away and the programme was fully carried out.
Gen. Frank White and his aids dis played much skill in putting the procession in line of march. It was put in motion shortly after two o'clock, and consisted of the police force, Ringgold Band, officers of the day in carriages, the Light Guards, the Governors Guard, two Gattling Guns, Drum Corps, a corps of veterans and eight of the old regimental flags, Terre Haute Cornet Band, Knights of Pythias, Order of Forresters, Fire department, iu uniform, and truck, engine and reels decorafed with flowers, and eleven wagons filled with girls and boys carrying flowers. Thousands of people lined the streets and viewed the pageant as it passed.
At the grove opposite the cemetery, General Charles Cruft, the President of the Day, called the assemblage to order in a short and well worded address. The exercises consisted of musio by both bands, a select ohoir, under lead of Warren Davis, prayer by Rev. S. F. Donham, and an address by Hon. N. G. Buff, Interesting aud appropriate to the occasion.
The flowers' were then placed on the graver, and the beautiful and fitting ceremonies ufrere ended.
TMRRE HAUTE is going to celebrate the Fourth of July and celebrate it in grand style—surpassing any former efforts. The first meeting to make arrangements was had last night at the court houso. It was large and enthusiastic. The right men were put in the right place to make it a success. The big feature of the day will probably be a competitive military drill and review, with such liberal prizes as will draw all the military companies far and near. Another meeting will be'held Monday evening to perfect arrangements.
THE otherwise well arranged programme for the observance of Decoration Day, was sadly marred by entrusting the bearing of the flowers to a lot of boys In wagons, who went whooping and yelling through the streets as though tlw\y were taking p*rt in a Fourth of July or political demonstration. If it cannot be otherwise arranged in following years, let the flowers be deposited at the cemetery, where gentle and loving hands may place them where they belonjr.
OUR city—excelling in everything it undertakes, or takes au interest In, has two of the finest military companies to be found in any city of similar &\TA in the west. Tho movements of tho Light Guards and the Governor's Guards on Thursday were viewed with much and justifiable pride. They will form a prominent feature in all public demonstrations in this city—and in case of in vasion—well, we won't be Invaded.
TOE Oratorio Society will not give an incomplete performance, and not being able to seoure sufficient rehearsal of the orchestra, the entertainment set for Thursday of this week has been postponed until the evening of Thursday, June 20th. 14

JUDOE ALBERT It, A UsTlN. Brief mention was made last week of the death, at Paris, Ills., Tuesday night, May 21st., of Judge Albert B. Austin, the father of A. G. and Wallio Austin, of this city. The life vvork of three score years and ten is thus sketched by the Paris Gazette:
Judge Austin was born in Green county, N. Y., February 12th, 1808. His parents were both of New England stock bis grandfather was a participant in the Revolutionary struggle, that gave existence to our country. He received a good elementary education, and in early life was known as a boy of high moral principle, great industry and correct habits. His father died when he was quite young, and on him devolved the maintenance of the mother and younger children, which required great industry and energy. He was married to Miss Jennie E. Hannah, who survives him, in Scbeneotady, in Oct. 1832. They lived at Hudson ana Schenectady, N. Y., until 1852, when they emigrated to this,
theH,
new country. Mr. Austin was an active, efficient man, ready to engage in every work where public interest oould be promoted hence, be had many duties, imposed upon him of importance and responsibility. He was cuief of police, police magistrate, head of fire compauy, overseer of the poor, and president of school boards for over twenty years and when he left N. Y., the citizens by an ardent exhibition of their confidence and respect, had a large meeting at which they, by resolutions, acknowledged their obligation to bim, and their high esteem of his character, and presented him with a silver oup. He moved to this place with bis family in 1852. His labors were soon needed here. He joined the Presbyterian church in 1853, under Dr. Samuel Newell, and was soon after elected au eider, which office he filled ably and honorably to the end of his life. He was elected judge of the county court, and to the office of clerk twice, and did much in bringing about those municipal improvements which have so greatly benefitted our city. Mr. Austin and wife had born to tbeui ten children, eight of whom are living, honored and beloved citizens and were present at his funeral on Friday. One son graduated at
College, N. Y., another at Yale
College, New Haven, and a third at Columbia Medical College, in New York city.
The Judge was a man of intellect, energy and practical christian piety. He believed in letting his light shine, and evinced his christian faith by works of benevolence and love, wherever an opportunity afforded. Ho ncr^r loal opportunity to offer a word of sympathy to the afflicted, and to bestow silent charity upon the worthy poor and distressed. He for many years gave much time and attention to organizing our public schools, and bad & large responsibility Jn erocting. the school buildings, and in carrying on the schools. He spared no pains or expense to secure the thorough and practical education of his childreu, and iu their high success, as men of business and professional men, and he lived to seo his desires realized and his hopes fulfilled. His efficient labors in the church were no less valuable than elsewhere. He was ever at his post, and stood as a prominent man In talenr, activity and devoted pletv—leading in every good work—giving his kind and genial Influence, his generous sympathy to every measure that benefitted mankind and relieved the distressed. His actions were always the result of convictions based upon principles ol right and duty, and no one questioned his integrity or rarely dissented from his conclusions. He was a prominent and honored member of the society I. O. O. F., and be held the position of Deputy Grand Master of the State. The order manifested their high respect by turning out en mo»e, to conduct als remains to the grave. Paris has lost a noble man— the church a valued ohristlan gentleman HLd our country a true and Intelligent eltizen. His memory will ever be cherished with respect and love by those who knew him, *nd will be a living example for the young, who hope to make life a success as he did.
