a
Bedford Stan The Bloomington University Club gave a very fine representation of "The Drunkard" at the Opera House on Friday, the 8th inst. A large, select aud enthusiastic audience greeted them and seemed to appreciate the per fonnancc highly. The club undoubtedly numbers among its members more than one artist of more than one artist of more than usual dramatic merit, and many professional companies have failed to present so pleasant a performance in this town as this amateur association. It Mere perhaps invidi ous to distinguish when the merits of all were so deserving, but Miss Minnie Howe in the character of Miss Spindle, and Mr. Gibson Harris as William Dowden, were of exceptional excellence, while Mr. Bradf ute in the character of Lawyer Cribbs fairly induced the audience to believe that he was born to the buskim He is an actor of marked ability, and his control of vorce Jud feature was almost perfect. Miss Lida "Griffiths, as leading lady, gave proof of that perfect self-posession so unusual to dramatic performances, and her whole presentation was that of unaffected and artless naturalness." The music of the orchestra was indeed a treat, and the universal verdict of our people in regard to the entire performance was that a no more charming evening has been passed in our theater during the entire winter season.
They must go, Somebody must Get the Bargains.

The following, though it has been many years since it happened, is going the rounds of the papers, and we clip it from the Xenia, 0 , Gazette: "Judge George Buskirk, of Bloomington, Indiana, well known throughout the West, was noted as a joker of the practical sort. Prof. Cole, of the College in Bloomington, desiring to illustrate a lecture on the physical structure of man, desired to procure a skeleton for the purpose, and he applied to Judge Buskirk to learn where he could find one. iSow, the Judge had a neighbor named Hardin, who was so very thin in flesh that he greatly resembled a skeleton, and the J udge couldn't refrain from setting up a joke on Prof. Cole, and running a saw on Hardin. "Let me see," said the Judge, reflectively. "Your neighbor, Mrs. Hardin has a skeleton, and she will certainly loan it to you for the occasion." "I wasn't aware of that," said the Professor, "and I'm glad of it, for it will save a deal of worry and trouble. I've asked a dozen persons about a skeleton and you are the only one who coud teli me where to get one. I'll go right over to Hardin's at once." And the Prof., who was an excitable man, went off like a bottle of gingerpop. When he rushed into Mrs. Hardin's residence and excitedly made his business known, Mrs. H. assured him that she had no skeleton in her closet, or anywhere else about the house; and the Professor insisted that she must have one, because Judge Buskirk said so, and that he had frequently seen it. Then the remarkable leannness of her husband occured to her, and beleiving that Professor Cole was trifling with her feelings, she shut the door in his face. The Professor failed to procure a skeleeton, and his lecture lost much of its interest; besides he raised a rookery about his own ears, and sent a nest of hornets about Judge' Buskirk's heap. Prof. Cole was able to explain his part of the joke, but Judge Buskirk was never forgiven by the Hardins.
WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, April 18, 1864. In our letters, forsceing the results that would likelv grow out of the over partizan spirit that was being manifested, we have urged Republicans to abstain from the heated, angry discussion of men, the abuse and vilification of individuals that was being indulged in, and looking at the grand achievements of the party and its great mission yet unfulfilled, to discuss measures, not men, leaving it to the wisdom of the party in convention assembled to select the best standard bearers; but our feeble cry was not heard or heeded and we see today in our ranks the best men in the nation, the truest leaders of our party, denounced in our own household and it being made apparent that as in the past, to prevent an open breach, the convention to assemble at Chicago in June will be compelled, as was the convention at
Chicago in 1880 and at Cincinnati in 1876, to select some one not now prominently named. Even the strongest partizans of Arthur, Blaine, Logan and Edmunds are begiuning to see and admit this, and already they are looking for the available, who can heal all differences and rally all elements. Fortunately or unfortunately for the Republican party it has scores of men who have their partizans and in the multitude of candidates likely to be brought forward the great idea of fitness may be lost sighjb of in the light of expediency. The most brilliant meteor shoot across the sky to dim the brightness of the fixed stars, but they pass in
to utter darkness while silently the grand orbs roll on, their brilliancy not the least dimmed by the tern Eorary streak of light that passed etween them and the earth. The meteors and their light went ont together into utter darkness and utter oblivion. In the firmament of politics we have our grand fixed stars, we have had our meteor, Ie it not time for a grand party like ours to honestly seek the man who in all respects would honor us, the party and the nation in his exhaultation, and in whose election we would honor ourselves? We have such in our ranks and if we divest ourselves of personal ambitions, and the self importance we attach to ourselves in being the champions of leaders we never chese. and look only to the honor, the glory, the dignity and purity of the party and nation, we will see, calmly, serenely and brilliantly shining the stars that would guide us to unity and victory At a gathering of representative Republicans a few evenings since when the situation was being discussed, and the names of "dark horses" and their merits were being considered, after that of the "grand old man," there was none that was so unanimously endorsed as that of the present Governor of Massachusetts, Hon. Geo. D. Robinson. While it was stated that nQ movement in his favor was being made, and he was in no sense a candidate, it could net be denied that he possessed all the elements necessary fo make a model president; able, honest, dignified,' upright and pure, not a word could be said but in his praise by either party. Should he be nominated, he could unite every element of his own party, and draw largely from the opposition. In the mention of other names, that of Hon. William H. Calkins, of Indiana, as the Private Soldier's candidate, was favorably noticed. He is the pter of any man in the House, and s tronger before the country than any man from his State. He is honest, able and capable, and emphatically a man of the people. The Senate Committee on Railroads have reported Senator Cullum's interstate commerce bill favorably to the Senate. As proposed by this bill, five commissioueis are to be appointed by the president to serve five years each, their terms so arranged as to make one vacancy each year. It is provided that the commissioners shall be appointed so that the different interests affected shall have, as nearly as possible, proper representation, aud not more thanthree of them shall, beiong to the same political party. The leading features of the bill provide for a system of arbitration and adjustment of the differences that may arise between transportation companies and their patrons, and the bill is so framed as to make it ar. object to tbe railroad com panies to accept the findings of the commission, aud thus save complainants from the necessity of enforceing their rights through the courts by means of tedious and expensive litigation. Provision is made, however, for the prosecution of complaints in the United States courts by the district attorney of the district wherein the offense was committed, when the committee is unable to secure a settlement, and on its motion. The bill is not confined to railroads, but applies to all transportation companies engaged in interstate commerce, of whatever nature. Senator Alatt, from the Committee on Territories, has favorably, reported a bill providing for the formation and admission of the State of Tacoma. The propesed new State includes within its boundaries portions of Washington and Idaho Territories, and in the report of the committee is said to have a population equal to the number required to entide it to representation in Congress, It is likely that the bill will pass the Senate, but not at all probable that it will get through the House, as the hardhorse sense people of the northwest are generally Republicans, and to admit a new State in that section would be to increase Republican representation in Congress. In these days of reform (?) anything that tends to keep the hordes of hungry Democrats irom the public crib is "viewed with alarm." The pleuro-pneumonia bill is before the Senate. It is being carefully considered, and will probably be passed, though not in the shape in which it .was received from the House. On Tuesday last the House Committee on Indian Affairs listened to an argument bv Princess Win-
nemucca, of the Pinte tribe, explaining and urging a petition asking Congress to restore the Pinto tribe, explaining and urging a petition asking Congress to restore the Pinte Indians their rights. The Princess delighted the committee with her regal bearing and quaint eloquence. The first Saturday in May has been set apart by the house for the consideration of the bill prepared by the Pacifio Coast delegation, providing lor tl e strict enforcement of the restrictions upon Chinese emigration, contained in the Chinese emigration, contained in the Chinese treaty. It is believed that the bill will be passed.
