A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

SECOND EDITION.

THEY do say that there la waiter at tbo Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, who will take charge of five hundred hats at once and return every one to the proper owner. We have always thought that anything in the hotel line, especially in the way of remembering, that Sam Turner could not do was utterly impossible. But that beats Sam. The fellow explains the process by which he doe? it, by saying that he forms a mental picture of the owner's face inside etch hat and that on looking at any bat the owner's face is instantly brought before his mind's eye. Scientific men call the process "visualising," and some of these men have taken sufficient interest iu the matter to report tbe case to the leading English scientific Journal, Nature, and comments are made upon it in tbe London Spectator. Every man to bis trade. This fellow evidently has not mistaken his vocation. He is not a round peg in a square bole nor vice versa. He was foreordained to take care of bats

THIS suggests the idea, wbioh doubtless is true, that memory is very largely tbe result of culture. Of oourse there are degrees of natural endowment in reference to memory as in all other directions, but not so much ordinarily depends upon natural endowment as upon culture. Waiters at hotels are not pre-eminently endowed by nature, and yet tbe most stupid will often astonish us by tbe number of orders taken and tbe accuracy with whloh they are filled. We have been astonished the other way sometimes, but comparatively seldom. It is worth while, especially for'young peeple, to take considerable palne in this direction. ,A„,.

"MY visit to America will seem, when it is over, like a delightful dream, too good to be true. There will not be a single speck of cloud on all tbe bright horizon of it, except those wbloh are caused by own Imperfections." So writes an Englishman, a veritable Englishman, and that, too, not la a polite letter to «ome American boat or friend who has shown him hospitality or kindness in some othor form, but to his friends and tbe public at home: aad now he has published tbe letters, as we learn from the English papers, in book lorm. Tbe Rev. Mr, Potts, whoever ha may be, did manage indeed to see the pleasant side of things here, and we must confess to tbe feeling that be was too good natural to look on tbe unpleas ant side. He praises our atmosphere, as Indeed those born and bred in basy England ought. We have long bad the feeling that half tbe reputation of Italian skies is due to what the English have said of it, and that here In America we have as dear an atmosphere and as deep a blue, and as beautiful olouds as are ever seen in Italy, Our English nan is also pleaaed with our style of railway cars, and especially note* It* lnfluenoe upon tbe rougher elements. He says that on cheap excursion trains, tbe young working lads, who in England would be behaving like human swine, here sit still and oonduot themselves in a considerate and proper manner. "This is no doubt due," he says, "to the faot that they have been accustomed all their lives to travel with ladles and gentlemen." We Americans see enough of roughness and rowdyism on tbe oars, and often complain of it. But it is true, beyond a doubt, that these are rare exceptions, and that the American method of putting all classes together in tbe long coach68 has a most beneficial effect. Nothing is worse for the rough element in society than to be shut off by itself.

THIS reminds us of an argument which we heard of a few weeks since. A teacher in the public schools (not in this city) whose building is filled with the children of foreigners, urged tbe Intro* duction of a new teacher into that building in order to keep all the olaea which was to be transferred to another building in school another year. He urged that if the transfer was made half the class would drop out of school altogether. The reply was made that more good would result from having half the class In a building where they would associate with American children than to keep all of them with those of their own nationality. And the argument was sound. One of tbe greatest benefits of our school system is bringing all olasses together. On tbe one band, tbe children of foreigners thereby learn American habits of thought, speech, dress and manners, and beoome more thoroughly American. On tbe other band, tbe children of Americans being thereby brought into competition with the children of foreigners, and often outstripped by them intellectually, learn to respect them for what they are, and not for their birth or dress, and so are made mors truly democratic. Schools made up of single classes In •riss

ssiii

few*

society, or of single nationalities, are not tbe best. It is a good thing for tbe son or daughter of tbe wealthy banker or learned judge to be compelled to give place or look op to tbe son or daughter of tbe honest drayman who has, by industry or supericr natural ability, risen to a high rank in tbe class. It is a good thing for tbe American boy or girl to find tbe patient, industrious German boy or girl, or tae quick-witted Irish boy or girl, pressing bard or getting ahead in tbe race for knowledgo. Foreigners wbo oome among us and attempt to maintain schools of their own nationality, and Americans who prefer schools without any mixture ef tbe foreign element, are both equally mistaken. Tbe more thoroughly our schools can become mixed, tbe more truly democratic will Americans become, and the more thoroughly American will tb,e descendants of foreigners become.

WE should not be greatly alarmed if this argument were carried out to its logical oonsequenbes in reference to white and colored schools. It is by no means certain that tbe separation is not bad for both races. Certainly no Berious turns has resulted in tbe Normal or High School from tbe presence of colored pupils. The colored race will rise more rapidly when tbe children have the same advantages as the white children, and tbe advantages of schools depend quite as much upon association as upon what is taught. There are lots of boys and girls In our schools who would have their eyes opened by having a colored pupil a better scholar than themselves, and there are oolored pupils who only lack tbe opportunity to open the eyes of some *hite children in this way. We do not propose to start a orussde for doing away with all distinction of oolor in tbe schools, but no one need send us a handkerchief upon which to dry oar eyes if such a crusade should ever be inaugurated, as it will be sooner or later.

Susan Perkins' Letter.

THURSDAY MORNING, JanelTtb. DEAR FRIEND JOSEPHINE:—Your last letter, expressing a desire to be here to be hero to attend tbe Commencement exercises of the High School, snd stating your inability to do so, was received last sight. I, too, am sorry you cannot be here* for if the Cornmencement this year Is in any way equal to tbe ones of past years it will be a show worth see ing. Do not be shocked at my calling tbo bigb, moral and intellectual entertainment for which we have engaged our seats to-night, a show! Really that is tbe proper name to apply to it forsev eral years. In the first place the dressing which has heretofore characterized these entertainments—not only of the Terre Haute High School, but of similar institutions all over tbe country—can be expressed only by saying tbat it was "showy." Tbe young ladies are gener ally attired in full party ooatume sometimes in white dresses made In elaborate style, with long trains, ruffli lsoes, jewelry, gloves and flowers in oonspiouous faultlessnsss. Sometimes silks and other textures of delicate evening shades are worn, also made in the same fashionable manner and with tbe same appropriate etceteras.

Now all of this, to the eye of adiaintereeted spectator, looks as though considerable time bad been epent In the devising of becoming toilets, as well as in perfecting themselves in those deep and intricate studies, the mastering of which entities thsm to diplomas. If the idea of a Commencement Is to show the world what advancement in knowledge a class of pupils hss attained, why not have an entertainment that would dem onatrate the fact, instead of one which might lead the unsophisticated to im agioe tbat it was tbe opening day of some grand dress making establish ment? I believe in girls looking as pretty as possible, and in dressing as their incomes will allow, but there la time and plaoe for all things, and in my estimation the ending of a school oourse isnotsn appropriate time to appear in ball costumes. Why not have each one dressed in a neat walking suit, or for tbat matter a plain white dress, made in such a manner that it will not attract the attention of the audience from the literary part of the programme. Then have the exercises to consist of something which will In a measure give the assembled friends a definite idea of what has been learned In tbe last four years, rather shall flowery effusions on tbe "Progress of Time," or the "Past, Present and Future," tied op with yards of blue ribbon. Then the people will go home with the Impression tbat something has been accomplished daring the years which have previously been devoted to study. As It is, they*assemble on Commencement Eve to be amused they criticise the dress of eaoh graduate, and oompare the manners, appearance and self possession of each one with tbat of every other member of the elan. Tbe mother, alitor, or dressmaker, of some one graduate will notice carefully just how Sarah Louisa's dress hung. If ebs managed her train

If soy one else had panlan

as stylish aa hem, and just how many bouquets she received. The eessy or oration is passed over without a thought, having been heard so many times before in the process of rehearsal.

Another sbowy thing about the Commencement exercises has been the immense dumber of bouquets thrown, or other floral tributes given. Immediate' ly after a graduate has read or declaimed, an avalanche of flowers is hnrled on to tbe stage, especially if tbe grsdnste hsppens to be popular. Generally they are hot house bouquets, daintily fringed with lace paper, or different emblems, covered with expensive flowers, Much aa baskele, stars, ships, chairs, snd wreaths. Tbe bouquets^ if gotten from the hot house, range in prioe from one to five dollars, and the fancy designs from five to twentytflve dollars. Naturally, then, tbe graduates who have tbe richest friends receive tbe most flowers. If these floral tributes were awarded to those who excelled in reading or composition always, there would be some sense in it. It would be in accordance with the sentiment of crowning the victors with laurel, of which we have read. As it Is, tbe bouquets are all marked beforehand, so tint it is a settled fsct wbst number eseb graduate will receive before be or ahe haa appeared upon the atage. It is often tbe oase tbat tbe smartest one in tbe olsss receives the lesst number of bouquets—not on account of lack of sppreoiation of friends, but beosuse the friends ar* not rich. Beeidee that, this extravagance in the flower show tempts people to indulge in it who cannot really afford it, for tbe sske of not seeing their dear enea neglected.

I have In my mind a young and love* ly girl who ooee gradusted. She had a devoted lover wbo loved her like—well like everything! In order to show the great oonoourss of people assembled to hear the Commencement exercises bow much he loved her, he ordered an elqgprat twenty-five dollar floral tribute to be placed at her lest immediately after jriw read her esssy. Very touching w«| It not? The crowd wltneeeed the proof of his devotion Mid the young lady had the proud satisfaction of knowing that no one else in tbe olsss bad received anything as handsome. But alas! the young man reoeived a very small salary and was in debt oon^decab^ at ithe time these facts leaking out Method to rob the act of all its romance.*

If the graduates and their friends In tend these floral souvenirs simply as proofs of their regard for each other why not present them st their homes Mf, however, they are meant for show, then of oourse the Opera House, with its orowd is the sppropriste plaoe. With all due regard lor Mr. Heinl and the other florists, I must say it looks like a waste to put so much money in flowers Tbe designs are made by twisting the flowers on wins, making the effect pretty but transient. With the utmoet care they will wither In a day or two. Now If the doners wish to present their frienda with seme tokens of affection or respeot, why.not invest tbe money in something durable. Five or ten dollars would purohsae ssvsrsi books worth reading, with thradvantage Of keeping them as mementoee of tbe pleasant

casion. I am aware that aodety doee not sanction tbe acceptance of preeenta from yonng gentlemen to young ladles. They eeuld reoeive flowers without any breach of etiquette from an acquaintance, but nothing more durable. I am of the opinion that If tbey could not reoeive a book, they should not reoeive the value of it in flowers.

Remember Josephine this is not meant for the High School here particularly but for ail of the schools of which I bsve read or have witnsesed such exhibitions. After all it is only on a par with the rest ofj the shows of the times, such as the grand weddings, funerale, etc.

To-night I am going to tbe Commence ment here and i! I have time will write you of it in the morning. ..... Yours,

FRIDAY MORNING.

I have a few minutes to spare which I will devote to last evenifig's entertainment, as I promised. I wss agreeably surprised in the whole, it being one of tbe most interesting Commencements I ever attended. The subjects were well chosen and well handled, there being fewer of the old hackneyed themes than usual. Tbe dressos of tbe young ladies were very near my idea of what they should be. As a general thing they were seat, pretty dresses, that woe far from the sbowy display so often noticed on such occasions. With one exception tbey were made short and I am rare every one io the audience agreed with me in thinking It a step In the right direction. The floral tributes, however, were lavished upon tbeee young graduates In as reckless a manner as ever. Several, though, received book* as well aa flowers. Tbe programme was so long that I cannot tell you, as I intended, of the effort of eaoh pupil. Enclosed you will find a aiip Atom this morning's Express telling you allabout them. I willssnd you tomorrow's paper to let you know bow tbe second seottoo gets through to-night. Son

VABOUT WOMEN.

'4^

There is a beautiful young girl in the Vermolit penitentiary, sentenced for home stesllBg.

On the day of her husband's nomination to the presidency Mrs. Garfield reoei^adovet

2,000

callers at her home in

Mentor. The Cincinnati Gazette thinke tbat flO ought to buy any girl a good summer outfit. Does it suppose one pair of stockings to be an outfit?—Detroit Free Prees.

A young lsdy sent a poem entitled, "I Cannot Make Him Smile" to a newspspet^ the editor of which believes she would have succeeded had she shown bimtlKpoem.

The only jokes women like to read are those Which reflect ridicule upon men. "Yes," says a contemporary, "on taking up a paper a woman invariably turns to tbe mairriage column."

MM. Garfield is of delicate form, in rosy health, a domestic, devoted mother, fitting her four young sons for college or for active life a lady of a sunny spirit, and of a very quiet, dignified bearing.

A lady oalled on Governor Llttlefield, of Rhode bland, a few days ago, accompanied by her daughter, her sole object being to have the Governor kiss tbe dlpghterl He complied with the request.

The Philsdelphia Chronicle ssys tbst WesUtas girls'do no$ use rouge, but thst tbey over night put mustard plasters on their cheeks, whloh 'Stay red for a long time. The Chronicle should wesr blistering blush. "When I goes a shopping," said an old lady, "I alien ask for what I wants, snd. If tbey bsve it, snd it is suitsble, and feel inclined to buy It, and it is cheep, and can't be got for leee, I most alien take it, without elapperingall day about It, ss some people do."

In lltusvllle, Pa, few dsys sgo, Mrs. Joseph Busbnell died from the effect of kissing the dead body of her hither ten "days ago, while attending his funeral In Pittsburgh. Her father died of erysipelas, snd at the time mentioned she had a serf on her Hp, through whloh her blood Was poisoned. Her little dsughter Ella is not expeoted to live from kissing her mother.

SuffragisU^Bonvention

at Chicago, Mrs. Belts A LockWood,de nounoed ss a crime tbe refusal of tbe Chicago boa£d"of education to employ married women as teachers. She held that a wife has as much right to support her husband as a husband has his wife, andany official aotion whloh prevented the exercise of this womanly prerogative she looked upon as an outrage.

If young women would extract the greatest possible hspplnsss out of life let them never exchange the plessures of their ownsoaia! circle, humdrum though they may be, for the aodety of bright young men who can give them sappers and Invite tbsm to balls, drives and ex eursions. This is wholesome advice. Men whoee intentions are honorable woo girls at their homes and not by stealth and in out-of-the-way plaoes—unlees the old folks interfere.

The London Lancet Is making a noble fight for the London shop girls, who are compelled by cruel taakmasters to stsnd throughout tbe entire day. It announces Its Intention to publish a list of those shopkeepers who furnish their sales women with seats. This list will be famished physicians, who will show them to their patrons and urge all to refuse to trade at sbope where the girls are not allowed to sit down when not employed in waiting on customers.

Husbands, wbo by their own volun tary acts deprive their wlvee of every social bond exoept that of motherhood, need not hold up their bands in holy horror against tbe oonsequenoes that result from their own conduct. If a women occasionally seeks oecapstion in the frivolities of fashion from the hideous solitude of her own deserted home, where she is left to dreg out a torpid existence amid stew pans and scrubbing brushes, should she be justly plsoed in tbe pillory of public criticism! Injustice, all oases have at least two sides.

At a recent charity entertainment la this city, says a woman correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Enquirer, Maud Muiler was represented in a tableau by a girl literally "looking down On ber feet so bare and ber uuteml gown.

Them was no doubt about it," tbe writer adds "I sat In tbe very front within ten feet of her. She bad sacrificed herself wholly to tbe requirements of art. Her ahapely little feet wen actually bare. Their color, though die was a very dark brunette, only fairly represented tbe tan of tbe sun. 'How did she come to do it?' I inquired of one of the committee. "Well,' be replied, 'she did hesitate st first but we argued tint it would be a greet attraction, and abesaid ahe would make almost any sacrifice for tbe orphans.'"

Tsars, chemically considered, are a weak solution of ohioride of sodium and phate of lisse, tbe wallas of the lachrymal glands, cauasd by the oontxaotton of osrtain maaolss. A writer

wbo hss analyssd them "ss a weapon" says: "The beat method is to hold the bead erect, look the cruel tyrant in the face, and let the tears flow down while the llpe feign a amile. If the head be bent forward the tears will be likely to run down the noae and drop off at the end, and that spoils the whole thing, for the eyes get red snd thenoee sympathizes with the general moisture, snd gets a sort of raw look at the end. To use tears with effect requires, in fact, judgment. The effectiveness is gone ss soon as any 'mopping' begins. A slight hysterical sniffle msy be permitted, if artistically executed, with a gasping sob, but no polishing off of eye or noee is sdmissible."

THE BETTER WORLD.

CHURCHE3, PASTORS AND PEOPLE.

A pastor at Austin, Texas, preached on "A Tight Squeeze or, the Round Dance."

Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage received four hundred and sixteen new members, men, women and young persons, into the church on Sundsy, tbe 6th.

Rev. George A, Lock wood, wbo wss considered objeotiensble by a portion of tbe congregation of the Congregational church in Kepnebunk, Maine, for tbe reason that he shsrsd Col. Ingersoll's belief thst there is no suoh place, has at last been installed as pastor of tbst flock.

The Christian Intelligenoer boldly sccusee the Rev. Henry Morgsn, of Boston, of issuing a book whloh is so immoral tbat it ought not to be carried in the malla. It purporte to be an exhibit of the Iniqultlee of Boston and of the Roman Catholic confessional. The paper says of this work: "It Is one of the most unclean and corrupting publications we have ever seen."

The Rev. Dr. Oonant made his mark at the Baptist Ministerial Conference, in New York lately, by answering a ques* tion put to him sa to tbe precise meaning of the word Baptism. He ssid he know no better wsy to show tbe exsct meaning than by giving an old Greek recipe for making turnip salad: "Peel tbe tornlpe, out them in quarters, and then baptise them in pickle."

One day In springtime, just one hundred years ago, man of Gloucester, England, went into tbe suburbs of tbe town to seek a gardener. In chatting with tbe laborer's young wife she expressed her heartfelt sorrow over the reckless idleness shown during the Sabbath dsy by the neglected children of the poor. Her listener was Robert Ralkes, and that cssusl conversation led to theeetablishmentof the first Ssbbath school In England, in July, 1780.

The late Bishop Amee, of Baltimore, bad a large fund of dry humor. Oaoe, while presldlngover a Western conference, a brother began a tirade against oollegee, ssmlnariqs, etc., and thanked God he bad never been corrupted by oontact with a college. The Bishop interrupted him with the queetien, "Do I understand that the brother thanks God for hla Ignorance r' "Well, air," was the anawer, "yen oan put it tbat way if yen want to." "Well," said tbe Bishop, "all I have to say la that tbe brother haa a great deal to thank Ged for t"

Thus doea tbe Examiner tali tales out of school oonoerning pious sayings: We have heard of a Protestant church, not a thousand milea from ben, which habitually makea false statements about its financial condition. We have known prominent pastors accustomed to take to a newspaper office articlee written by themselves, and containing the groesest exaggerations of their ohuroh work. We have known churobee to JfamN their paston for good reasons, and then pass a series of resolutions oommendlng tbeui to sister churches In terms tbat would have made an apostle blaeb. We have heard a pastor descant in a funeral sermon on virtues that no one had discovered in tbe dead but himself, and even be not while the man was in the flesh.

A Savannah oorreepondentof the Boston Congregationalism has been visiting a colored Methodist church down South, and writes that tbe minister read tbe first line of a well known hymn, "God moves in a mischievous way," instead of "mysterious," and a later line, "Judge not the Lord by feeble saints," instead of "sense." It was communion Sandsy and they took up a collection. For three-quarters of an hour they sang and danoed, while the people deposited their nickles—very slowly, for tbey have very little money and leas confidence in those that reoeive it. At length tbe minister became impatient and shouted: "We has got to ralss 96 mo', an' I tell ye now, ye wont get a mite o' sacrament till ye»ve raised It," and tbe 95 were forthcoming. After tbe oommunlon service came tbe baptising of infants. When one mother wss ssked what tbe child's name was, "Cufl^y Austin," was tbe ansr. "Cuffy!" exclaimed the minister with some sngsr, "what do you gib your chile nub a nana asdat tor? Oufiy aint no name *at all. Dont neber gib a chile tm** nfr\*rrnt: 'til b# 'shamed

on it as soon as he knows anything." Again he inquired the name, and the woman was mad and flung out: "Cuffjy Austin!" The pastor took the child in his arms, sprinkled some water on ita head and said: "I baptise thee, Cofl^f Austin, in ignorance," and that was all the christening that baby reoeived.

LITTLE SERMONS,

Sit in your plaoe and none can mak'e you rise. Proud hearts and lofty mountains are always barren.

He that pelts at every barking dog. must pick up many stones. One must learn to deal with odd and even in life as well as in figures.

He must be a thorough fool wbo can learn nothing front his own folly, f"* Tbe hardest trial to your heart is to attempt to bear a rival's failure without weak triumph.

A man should make it a part of him religion to see that bis couutry is well governed.

Paradise is where the parents shall be 5 always young snd the children always little.

Heaven ia one of the places In whloh a rich man's money will not get him the

cboioe of positions. It is muoh more necessary to ooncea contempt than resentment, tbe former being never forgiven, but tbe latter sometimes forgot.
