Charles Carlton, son of Judge Carlton is among the Oklahoma correspondents. The San Francisco Chronicle says of him: "Charles Carlton's letter of cor respondence from Salt Lake City to the Indianapolis Sentinel, (reproduced in yerterday's Chronicle) reminds one of Bret Harte'a early days on tho Pacific coast when that vagabond genius charm ed his readers with 'The Luck of Roar ing Camp', and others of his earlier pro ductions. Charles Carlton writes the same style of sympathetic humor that was so characteristic of Brete Harte That description of the election was very ludicrous and thoroughly western."
The formal opening of the Terre Haute House, planned for Thursday evening last, came to an unfortunate end in being indefinitely postponed, or in otbor words abandoned. The opening was to have consisted principally of a very swell banquet, and the elite of the city were expected to be present. The committee of citizens having the banquet in charge proposed a rate of $5 per plate, and it was expected that a large number would accept the opportunity of being present. Contrary to expectations the sale of tickets was small, only about 115 being disposed of at the proposed rate, In this extremity tfbe committee suggested a reduction to $5 per couple, but President Ijatns, of the hotel company, at once sat down on the proposition, as serting that if the affair could not be carried out in style it would not be carried out at all. The disagreement settled the fate of the opening, and the 115 tickets sold were called iu and the money refunded. The reception was suggested and largely arranged by citizens as a compliment to the enterprise of, the stock holders in making such complete and extensive improvements.

There is one man in the world who never does anything by halves, and that wonderful fellow is P. 8. Gilmore. He is whole-souled, liberal, and enterprising in the highest degree. When he went into the band business, in Boston years ago, he quickly demonstrated that hp was an originator, and soon rose to the topi of public favor. His great Boston Jubilee was the greatest thing of the kind the world ever saw, and will probably never again be equalled. His present great band is universally conceded to be the finest it existence, and the wonderful success of his tours and concert undertakings has never been paralleled. As a series, his monster Musical Festivals of the present spring, one of which will be given in Terre Haute, have never been approached. He will bring his great band, with artillery and anvils, one of the strongest vocal combinations ever heard in America, and with the assistance of a grand chorus will give Terre Haute a Musical Festival very like the old Boston Jubilee in all ways but in numerical strength. It is a fit event to be commemorated, and right royally will its 20th anniversary be celebrated here next month.-
