THB Indianapolis Sentinel said of Mr. Riley's recent performance in that city. "He demonstrated a wonderful venality of talent during the entertainment, leading the audience at will into the realms of the beautiful, the pathetic or the sorrowful and again transforming the scene and surroundings into the humorous and and almost uproarious.

AT the Congressional Convention held at Crawfordsvilleon Wednesday, W. R. McKeen and Enos H. Nebeker were selected as delegates to the National Republican convention at Chicago H. H.

THE funeral of John Danaldson, who died last Saturday morning, at the advanced age of eigbty/four years, was largely attended Sunday afternoon, and was a marked token of respeet and esteem from his neighbors. A gentleman of the old school, the soul of honor, courteous, genial and pleasant in manner, harmless as a child and ever doing some kind act, goes from our midst in the death of "Uncle Jaok" Danaldson.

THE Nationals are first in the field with nominations for township officers. Last Saturday they nominated Benj. J. Abbott, the present incumbent, for Trustee, Jehu Johns for Assessor, and Henry Morrison for Justice of the Peace. For Constables C. L. Knapp, Alex Peyton, William Miller, John Anderson and Charles Taylor were nominated. The name of Charles Washington, the colored politician, was presented, but was not wanted.

THE stockholders of the E. T. H. & C., railroad, by an almost unanimous vote, have decided to lease their line for a term of ninety-nine years to the uhicago and Eastern Ills., company. The lease will be made as soon as the bondholders consent to reduce the interest from seven to six per cent. It is announced that no changes will be made in the offices at this end of the line, but we can hardly hope that the consolidated line will support two sets of officers.

LAST Sunday was one of the moat delightful days of the new year, and every body, with their "sistera and their cousins and their aunts" were out on dress parade. Though we have experienced little of the Inconveniences of winter, all seem to rejoice as the sun daily creeps to a more northern latitude, the dawn being chased away at an earlier hour, and the shadows at evening hanging on longer. Soon we'll see the bursting buds and the newly growing grass. Then for the songs of the robin and his mate, and tho whisperings of the blue bird to his companion, as they build their home among the leafy branches. Then for the blue flowers which shall grow amid the dead and scattered leaves of last year. Then for the renewed life which shall grow into every department of the world, speaking of the dark days of winter and of the resurrection, which makes all things new.

PAUL K, MCCOSKEY came in from Washington on Thursday, fresh from the witness stand of the Exodus Committee, to find himself brought prominently before the people—the|U6ro of the hour, as it were. Ho stated while there that J. H. Walker, the colored mail agent here, had told him that arrangements had been made to run 10,000 colored voters into Indiana to carry the State for the Republicans. Walker promptly published a card pronouncing the same a lie, that he barely knew McCoskey,and intimated that the latter had so testified in order to hold his position as carpenter for the School Board. The Express spoke of him as a chronic grumbler, and offered a premium ior the sight of the man who ever heard him to express himself pleased with anything. Paul was interviewed to the extent of a column in yesterday's Gazette, wherein he adds his testimony that be is not intimate with Walker, but says the colored man and brother lies in saying he barely knows Paul by sight. He reiterates his statement before the exodus committee, and gives time and place where the conversation ooourred, and doses with the statement that be believes our oolored Mail agent would swear to a lie, cut a throat or scuttle a ship for an office if be wasn't susb a coward. There's blood on the moon. Somebody has lied. Or, at least, there is a misunderstanding. Let them hire a hall and be investigated.

With pleasure I add my testimonial to the many already given in favor of St. Jacobs Oil. which I bad occasion to tost personally. I suffered extreme pains in the back of my neck, which were almost unbearable. Having heard of St. Jacobs (Ml I dispatched one of my men to the nearest drug store, procured a bottle, and commenced to apply )t at once. The pain subsided, and on the next morning I was all right again.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.

The dramatical attraction for this week has been BartleyCambeils new play of "The Galley Slave." Full of interest, clear in purpose, harmonious in detail, strong in character and construction, the dialogue and situations, for the most psrt, kept within reasonable bounds of propriety or probability, it is a play well worth seeing. Of the company the principle interest centered in Maude Granger, as this was her first appearance here. She is a magnificent dresser, has made an art of posing, and has a better arm than voice. The latter she frequently forces into unpleasant harshness in her earnest efforts. But she is a pleasing actress, lady-like in every movement, and on this her first visit made a good impression. The other members are admirably fitted to their parts and altogether render the drama effectively.

To-night, at the Opera House, J. W. Riley, the Indiana Poet, will give an evening of his poetical sketches, humorous readings, and studies from real life. In some respects the entertainment is similar to that of Sol Smith Russell, but is more diversified and original in its character. Mr. Riley gives selections only from his own writings. Tbe Indianapolis Herald said of his recent performance in that city: "He is an inimitable imitator, and can mimic tones, language, gesture, as no other man can that we ever saw, and be can do better he can put himself into the character and be it, as well as imitate it. Nothing so exquisitely funny was ever seen on tbe stage of the Park."

Another of tbe plays of the now fa?Jious dramatic author, Bartley Cam bell, will be enacted at the Opera House Monday evening. This is "My Partner," written especially for Louis Aldrich and Chas. T. Parsloe, well remembered in the "Danites"—the one as the "Parson" and the other as the Chinaman. "My Partner," the St. Louis Republican tells us, is afar Western subject, tho scene being in tbe mountains and among the mines of tbe golden "'oast. The play is compact of rouftb -tud ready realism, like quartz, which aara the tracery of romance, and shii^s all over with a poetic glow. The promise of richness made in the first scene creates a strong interest in the developments of the working, and the "lead pans out" surpassing all expectation. This rich promise and abundant yield' make the play thoroughly satisfying in the results of the entertainment. The Chicago correspondent of the Bloomington Eye says:

The story is the old one of woman's love, devotion and betrayal, a story that has been toid hundreds of times on the stage before, but never so interestingly as through the medium ofT'My Partner." A seducer and his victom Is not always a pleasant picture to introduce to a refined audience, but Mr. CampUbll makes such good use of the picture, that Its introduction becomes the pivot around which revolve the incident and interest of the play. The author has handled the"tender'rsubject with etonsvrm^ mate skill and decency. The scene of the drama is laid in California several years following the wild days of "49." Joe Saunders and Ned Singleton, the partners, are in love with Mary Brandon. Mary favors Ned, the more polished of her admirers, and the result of that love involves her ruin. Joe overbears Mary pleading with Ned to marry her, and thus save her honor. Ned hesitates, ana Joe appears on the scene and exacts a promise from his partner that he will marry his victim, vowing that if he that he (Joe) will kill act Ned is murle the body of his dead friend, and is denounced by the assassin as the murderer. Joe is imprisoned, and Mary leaveslhome to escape the wrath of her father, wno has discovered her shame, Through the instrumentality of Wing Lee, a Chinese servant, the murderer is brought to justice, and Mary gives her hand to Joo. To the role of Joe Saunders, Mr. Aldrich has evidently given a thorough study. It seems not like acting, but rather as something real, so Intense is he in the expression of his lines. Mr. Parsloe, as Wing Lee, Is incomparable. His Chinaman is as realistic as the genuine article, and it would deceive the eyes of the Celestials themselves.

On the following, Tuesday, evening, Gus Williams, supported by a strong dramatio company, will give his humorous satire upon the possibilities'of political life, in the drama'entitled "Our German Senator." The Boston Post, speaking of tbe presentation of the comedy in that city, says:

Mr. Williams appears as J. Adolph iinkel, a retired Western brewer, with a talkative wife, who has two years to live before dying at oO, the relict of the late Mr. Grumpy. Mr. Dinkel has no political aspirations, but allows himself to be elected In order to pass bills restricting the garrulity of his wife and to silence the importunities of Judge ere Spruce, of the firm of Bruce A Spruce, land owners and pension agents, who desires a Senator uader his control to present and engineer numberless bills for the benefit of nimself and the country at large. Mr. Dinkel is elected, bat the social events which happen at and near the time of electian quite overshadow tne political victory. The elderly Judge has Just married Flora, the young daughter of his partner, Mr. Bruce RertleBenton, the secretary of Brace A Spruce, makes a match with Fanny, the cousin or Flora, and Louise Granville, with whom Mr. Biuce is supposed to have done considerable flirting at Saratoga, but who is now married to a Russian Count, comes in to be presented to the pablio by her old friend. There Is a general attempt to hide the errors of the past, and by a misapprehension which arises by an unfortunate «ccident to Mrs. Dinkel, the laoies are all suspected by their husbands, lovers and protectors. Suitable explanations are made at the last, and all are made happy The cast was as follows: J. Adolph Dinkel, Mr. Gas William* Hiram Bcuce, Mr. George S. Robinson! Judge Jere Spruce, Mr. Hudson Uston Capu Dionyslas Pair, Mr. David oilman Bertie Benton, Albert Murdoch: Louise Granville, Miss F. Baldwin Flora Bruce, Miss Louise Dickson Fanny, Miss Katie Blanche: Mrs. Dinkel, Mrs. D. B, Van Derem. There was a large attendance, and the laughter which commenced a few moments after tne curtain went up continued almost incessantly until it feu. Mr. Williams' specialties woe a notable feature of of the performance, but the company all acquitted themselves creditably and received their share of praise.

Lutber G. Hager la engaged in a labor of love, that of the production of tbe beautiful poetical drama of tbe Lady of the Lake. Many of us remember with pleasure its presentation here some fifteen years ago by a party of amateurs, then as now under tbe lead of Mr. Hager. llie evening of March SOth baa been selected aa tbe date, and the proceeds will go to tbe Ladies'Aid Society and for the benefit of soldiers' families.

The cast of chsrscters has been arranged as follows: Fits James. Dr. w. H. Hail Roderick Dhu J. M. Duncan Douglass Dr. Jos. Richardson Allen Bane Mr. M. Allshaler, of

By the selection of the ladies named all the beautiful music can be given. Tbe McKeen Cadets, in full Scotch costumes, will act as clansmen, and tbe Oratorio Society will do th*» "horuses. The court scene will introduce »ue prettiest young ladies and most courtly young gentlemen in the city, and will be a brilliant scene. Tbe drama will be followed by tbe laughable farce of "Hunting the Turtle," the cast being: Mr Turtle L. G. Hager Timothy Dandelion Will Morgan Smatter Fred Shaw Levison J. R. Hager John Ed Bauer Post-boy Will lUpley Mrs. Turtle....... Miss Etta Blake

It is said tbac Maud Granger used to be a compositor on one of the New York papers. She would be a nice girl to "set up" with and

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat speaks disrespectfully of Mr. Mapleson's opera season in St. Louis as "Her Majesty's three dollar opera—two dollars for majesty and one for opera."

Ind, Herald: What Emma Abbott is to tbe stage as an osculator, Maud Granger is as a hugger. Her embrace has something of the abandon of a bear's hug. She is an able hugger.

PINAFORE.

THE MAIL'S PINAFORE CREW.

It has been suggested to Perry S. Westfall, of the Saturday Evening Mail, that in his very large corps of newsboys he possesses an abundance of material from which to select a first class juvenile Pinafore company. He has taken the matter under serious consideration, and should he conclude to organize, the troupe will be placed under the best musical and religious instruction at once, and will be ready for the road about April first.

The above from last Sunday's Ex press was intended as a joke by the funny fellows of that paper. But tbe suggestion was a good one and was quickly acted upon. Among such an army of boys as compose The Mail's oorps it was difficult to choose the requisite number for the production of the opera. So it was decided that the lead ing members oKthe troupe should be chosen from the boys who had averaged the greatest number of sales—that is had sold the most papers during the past six weeks. The following may be considered, "officially," a correct statement of the solo characters of the new Pinaligp* party.

Benny Havens will sing the the part of the Admiral, and right well will he do it. His instructions to Rackstraw concerning the hornpipe are as graceful as the movements of the bounding gazelle. His average number of Mails sold was 52.

The average of 58 papers by Johnny Lamb, together with his magnificent baritone voice, led to his being assigned tbe part of Captain Corcoran, and he sings and acts surprisingly well for one of his age and size.

Little Eddie Friend sold 62 papers each week, and will therefore sing tbe part of Ralph Rackstraw. His sweet tenor voice shows up to immense advantage here, and although the smallest member of the troupe be will be the favorite of the ladies.

Tommy Nelson has been assigned the part of Dick Deadeye, after much hesitation on the part of the management. He acts, sings and dances well, but bis main trouble 1b a failure to be "letter perfect" in bis part He constantly drops his lines to compliment Josephine on the beauty of her make-np, or Bnttercup on the quality of her voioe. He has paid each the same compliment at every one of the seven rehearsals which have so far taken plaoe. Regard for his tender age and feelings is the only reason for overlooking this fault.

The Boatswains part has been taken by Dan Voorhees, who, although no aotor, has a splendid bass voice, which Is displayed to great advantage in his soltfin the second act, "He is a oolored a

The "Lone Fisherman" put of the ope/a, that of the Marine, has been taken by Willie Duncan. This little fellow la as cute as oould be imagined, and in only one particular is he inferior to Haverly's "marine." He cant crow. We have tried and tried to get him to crow, but it's no use. He can do nothing but "caw, caw," like some melancholy crow. During the entire evening he does nothing, without "caws." i£

Tbe soprano voice of Georgie Duy seems birdlike in its sweetness in the music allotted to Josephine. The only fault to be found with his Josephine is her extremeelongation, so mnch so that when Rackstraw embraces her he is compelled to get upon a step ladder in order to do so. But then "love levels all things."

Harry Buntin sold only four papers a week, but his fitness for tbe part of 'little Buttercup" led as to overrule this objection, and be gives tbe most finiabed representation of this character that has yet been produoed, unequalled even by his larger brethren of Pinaforic lame.

iZ

By special arrangement with Mr. l&ppetoe, and at a large expense, we have

Lv.

secured tbe "Old Woman" to sing the part of Hebe. She has long been connected with The Mail, and in this capacity will doubtless prove as interesting aB in her contributions to this psper.

These, together with a large and efficient chorus selected from The Mail's newsboys, will comprise "The Terre Haute Saturday Evening Mail's Juvenile Pinafore Company," which name of itself will draw.

We have had numerous applications for membership in the company from stage struck newsboys. Among them was little Hoddie Smith, but as he hsd bought Mails only two Saturdays, and then wanted to play tbe three "star" parts of Rackstraw, Josephine and Buttercup, we were compelled to decline his extremely kind offer.

The vocal gems of the piece will be Admiral Havens' "Monarch of the whole cit-ee," Captain Lamb's "I never went to Washington," aad Bosun Voorhees' "He is a oolored man."

The costumes used have been imported from Paris (Illinois), and are magnificent beyond compare. The musical director has been working hard, and under his skillful manipulation the blending of these fresh, sweet young voioes is, to say the least—well, it would make a stone image weep.

Daniel O'Leary, the pedestrian, has been offered the position of advance agent, but as walking is so bad he has declined. The troupe will probably stsrt about June 1st, overland, for Brazil, where the first stand will be made. For further particulars see newspapers and small bills.

IMPORTANT SALE OF REAL ESTATE. We are informed by Wm. E. McLean, attorney for the estate of the late Corey Barbour, that all tbe splendid land of this estate will be sold at auction, on tbe first Saturday of March (the 6th of Maroh), at the court house. Besides the share set apart to Mr. Barbour's widow, tbeae are 256 acres, and it is the present intention of the executor of the estate to sell the land in parcels of ten acres or more, unless some capitalist will step ^forward and take the entire tract, in the meanwhile, at private Bale, or purchase it at the auction in whole. It is con ceded to be the most desiratble tract of realty anywhere near the oity, and for fertility of soil, commanding site, and general beauty of location, it is unsur passed, even on Fort Harrison prairie, the most beautiful of all prairies. As the oity is growing rapidly in that direction and the boom in everything else is jast beginning to affect real estate, we shall oxpect a lively competition for this property among those desiring such an nvestmeat.
