THE visit of the Legislative Committees on Education and Buildings to this city, on Tuesday, was a gratifying success, and promises to be of much benefit to the Normal School. The arrange ments for imparting information and for their entertainment were carefully planned and admirably conducted. The party, numbering about fifty, on arrival were served with lunch at the depot dining rooms, and then taken in carriages to the Normal school, where, after a short address by President Brown, its workings and its needs were made known in a manner so effective, that the members of the educational oommittee pledged themselves to do all in their power for the institution.
After the visit to the school, a train took the party down to the nail works, then to the junction of the Worihington road, up to the distillery, then out on the Vandalia bridge to view the Wabash, now at full tide, and then in carriages to the Terre Haute House, where a splendid dinner was served.
Mayor Havens made a neat speech of welcome, Rev. Henderson followed with some very proper words, Judge John T. Scott gave a brief history of the Normal, followed in turn by Judge Rhoads, Senator Owens and Senator Sayer. Hon. Wm. Mack, the shairman, put a very sensible clincher on the day's work by saying that "what we want is an even show. Bloomington sends out doctors and lawyers. Purdue is a school at which farmers are educated, and now we ask you to give us a school for the education of teachers. This school is one which is not intended to benefit self, but to benefit the people at large."
The party returned at five o'clock, and we feel confident that the committee is impressed that this institution has been sadly neglected. We shall be much disappointed if the urgent wants of the school are not abundantly supplied by a good appropriation.

The much-played drama of the "Two Orphans" drew a good audience at the Opera House, Monday evening, and Kate Claxton, as the tortured blind girl of the story, gave a painfully true to nature personation.

Mother Frochard that has perhaps
House stage, was that of "Hearts of ©ak," on Thursday and Friday evenings. Not that the company excelled in the mere speaking of the words, though in that respect it was all that could be desired, but the stage settings, the strict regard for evory minute detail of stage properties, and the naturalness of every speech and action, make it as a whole a most enjoyable performance, and the immense audiences on both evenings did thorougly enjoy it. Every aetor is peculiarly fitted for the drama, from Mr.

As ever knight to ladye gave. Tho play was presuatod hero last season, and made an instantaneous hit, tho possibility of all itsincidents, thostrange into rest that surrounds its situations, the naturalness of the characters, and tho healthy tone of the stirring sentiments in which the dialogue abound, at onee recommending it to favor. It la one of the purest and best dramas of the American stage, and is destined to hold a place forever among the popular plays of this country. Tho story is one of love, crime and retribution, but the sensational ingredients are ontirely subordinated to tho beautiful, and the pleasantes feelings are begotten by a visit to one of the performances, the spectators carrying away a bright memory of the gems of virtue and jewels of manly and womanly beauty and innocence that sparkle through the surface of the entire representation.
A Concert of rare merit will be given at the Opera House, on Tuesday evening, introducing August Wilheimj, the violinist, Constantin Sternberg, the Russian Pianist, and the prima donna soprano, Letitia Louise Fritch. The New York Tribune says "the great violinist has captured us all and the N. Y. Dramatic News says "he is, perhaps, the only violinist who ever visited this conn try who is above criticism." The N. Y. Sun says anyone who fails to listen to the new Russian pianist with pleasure and satisfaction must be difficult to please, Miss Fritch is represented as having a fresh, 9weet soprano voice, a pretty face and delicate figure. We have before us many extracts from the leading papers of the country all speaking in enthusiastic terms of this trio of artists.

Just as the curtain was about to rise on Katft Claxion's performance, at Vlncennes, on Tuesday evening, an alarm of fire was sounded, causing for a time much excitement. It turned out, however, to be nothing very serious,—only a small fire in a harness shop—and the people of Vincennes feel very thankful to have escaped from Kate so lightly.
The saucy Dramatic News is responsible for the following: It is said that Fanny Davenport has anew version of Camille. The heroine, instead of being taken off by consumption in the last act, dies of dropsy. This, we think, under the circumstances, is the strictly proper caper.
The Washington Herald gives Miss Kate Forsyth a lecture for "pulling up her comely stocking while waiting in the wings in full view of a couple doten ladies and gentlemen seated in the dress circle, and while McCullough was wrestling with Virginias."
Olive Logan announces in the Cincinnati Enquirer that she kissed Miss Sally Bernhardt on both cheeks recently. This is terrible. Olive is 40 if she's a day. And yet the public ought to be satisfied. It is not stated that Sally kissed Oily back In reply.

Harry Hunter, the well known aictor, who, as the "Lone Fisherman" of "Evangeline" has given us such good and hearty laughs, died of pneumonia, at Cincinnati last Tuesday morning, the result of a severe cold contracted at Kansas City, three weeks before. Instead of quiting the stage, as he should have done, he kept on playing until a week before his death. His home was in Boston, where he has many friends. He was thirty-seven years of age and highly esteemed by the profession. He was engaged to be married to Miss Louise Searle, of the company with which he was playing. His conception of the character he personated so long with irresistible humor was as original in its way as Jefferson's Rip Van Winkle, or Sothern's Lord Dundreary, and his place, though a minor one, will be hard to fill.

Gossip is the peculiarity of a small mind. Some people don't know enough to talk about the greatness of things, and so they talk about the littleness of persons. The expression of their own shallowness is what we call gossip.
