GEORGE C. HARDING. Mention has been in this paper made some weeks ago of a collection in book form of George C. Harding's writings. Mrs. Julia C. Harding, his widow, has been in the city this week putting the book on sale. Her object in compiling the work is thus stated in the preface "After the death of Mr. Harding many of his friends expressed a wish to have some memorial of him or something that would embalm the flashes of liis humor, the nimble wit. the delicate and covert satire of one who, for years, had worked "while others slept, until overtakon by that sleep which knows no awakening here. Aftor many doubts and much hesitation it was decided to publish his army and Mexican letters and selections from such of his miscellaneous writings as were most characteristic of him and would best give an idea of the peculiar style aqd fervor of his genius."
After a brief sketch of Mr. Harding's life, the book is filled with some of the brightest thoughts and quaint sayings of this brilliant journalist. The book can be had at Godecke's.
EVERY now and then we see where our Broom Brigade lost a point in their recentexhibitions. At Springfield, Ohiio, a company of sweet sweepers added novelty to the entertainment and shekels to tho charity fund by getting up an auction at tho conclusion of the drill and selling the young ladles' arms—that is to sav, brooms—to the gentlemen, and whenever ono of the sweet sweepers bad three or four admirers present the scene was'particularly interesting, the military girls encouraging their favorites by throwing them kisses whenever they increased their bids. At a recent aflfair of this kind the brooms wore sold at from $4 tof'ioeach, Mr. John W. Bookwalter, late Democratic candidate for Governor, being a purchaser at the latter figure.
THK Skating Rink .will be opened on Monday evening. It is located at the corner of Ohio and Kighth stroots, under an immense tent which lias been erected. The proprietors—Samuel Badgolcy and John M.

The fee for admission is onlv ten cents and 25 cents for use of skates.

HOME TALENT.
Terre Haute has, without doubt, more and better amateur talent to the square inch than any city in the Union. This ia undeniably true, whether it be in drama, or music, or readings, or broom drills or any kind of entertainment. Last night, for the first time, a grand opera-was attempted, and it was the biggest success of all. Prof. Kilbourae has worked hard to make it this success, and he has good reason to be proud of it. He has again demonstrated his eminent fitness as a musical director.
The most of the work of the opera of "Martha" falls upon four persons—and by far the most difficult roles ever attempted by our amateurs are those of Lady Harriet and Nancy. These were superbly rendered by Miss Flora Keller and Miss Anna Hyde. In vocalization, as well as acting, they surprised their most enthusiastic friends. The rich, full voice of Miss Hyde, and her winning ways never before appeared to such advantage, and Miss Keller's triumph was all she could desire. Her rendition of the "Last Rose of Summer" was an exquisite gem, far excelling that of Litta, who recently sang it here.
The "Lionel" of Mr. Charles L. Clarke was splendidly acted and sung capitally. And so was that of "Plunkett," by Mr George Tlnghes of this city, whose rich bass and manly presence rounded up si'tfi.did quartette.
Genial and graceful was "Sir Tristan,''iu the hands of Harry Graham, whose strong bass voice came in at every epiortuuity with marked effect. John R. Hager completed the cast of principal characters. He was the "Sheriff "—not much to do, but then the play would have been very incomplete without him His make-up was capital, aud the audience was in a broad grin when he was ou the stage.
The chorus—and what a handsome chorus it was—was splendid, thorough ly drilled, aud prompt in their work At first ^they seemed a little weak and timid, but as the play progressed warm ed {up to their work, until the grand climax at the end of the fourth act was reached, when a not-to-be-refused demand was made for the curtain to go up and the chorus repeated.
No little of the smoothness and evenness of the music is due to Miss Emma Allen, who sat at the piano. The Ringgold orchestra was excellent as it ever is.
Harry Graham's stage management was good, baring the tedious waits between acts, but for this he was not to blame. Amateur ladies cannot change costumes as quickly as professionals.
And by tho way, the costuming and stage setting was the richest, most expensive and appropriate of any previous amateur entertainment.
Prof. Kilbourne, and all who took part, must|have been highly gratified at the largo and brilliant audience assembled. We were glad to see it. It will encourage further efforts in tbe way of wholesome, elevating home amusements.
