pendent club of this city, to the number of thirty-two—went to Mattoon yesterday afternoon to render the operatic cantata of the "Haymakers" to the denizens of that city and vicinity. The club by previous arrangement had secured a special car and by request, issued a limited number of excursion tickets, which favor gave quite a number of our musically inclined citizens an opportunity to join the party, swelling the number to about sixty, and which proved to be one of the most pleasant parties we were ever in. Upon arriving at the Indianapolis & St. Louis depot the party entered the special car, which hud been provided for them and after waiting a few moments the train arrived from Indianapolis, the car was attached and.soon we were speeding on our way for the "Prairie City," at which place we arrived at 7 P. M,, after a very pleasant ride of about two hours and a half. When the train had arrived at the platform, a ru-h was made by the club for Doles' Hall and the excursionists for the dining hall of the Essex House, where our old friend, Dan. Meaner, had a splendid collation awaiting them, to which they did ample justice, to say the least. The Ciub had but a short time to prepare for the eiUertainiTK-nt, but all prep iratious were mu.de before eight o'clock.

THE AUDIENCE.

The first appearance of our popular club in the beautiful and prosperous city of Mattoon was greeted with a lur^e and most brilliant audience, composed of the very elite of the city, which is noted for the beauty of its ladies, gallantry of its gentlemen, and their patronage of a first-class entertainment, as was th it of the "Haymakers" last evening. The audience that assembled in Doles' Hall hist evening astonished us for with our acquaintance with Mattoon, we were not aware that there was 30 much beauty and gallantry therein and while it surprised and pleased us, it gratified the "Haymakers" exceedingly that they were to have such a fine audience.

THE ENTERTAINMENT.

The operatic cantata of the "Haymakers," as its title indicates, represents Inc'dents of the haymaking season in the country, and was written by G. F. Root, to whom too much ptuioe and honor cau not be accorded, as the piece displays originality and genius of a high order. The play commenced by the old farmer, Mr. J. W. Miller, coining out in front of the farm house and gingiug, "Arouse ye, arouse ^e," which he did in a very acceptable manner.

Then comes the farmers wife, Mrs. Gould, at the head of the haymakers, saying "Away, to the meadows, away," the jolly haymakers joining in the chorus. This was received with well merited plaudits. Here comes in the character of "Snipkins," Perry S. West fall, a young man from the city, who does not appreciate anything in country life, but Katy, the dairy maid, to whom he has taken quite a "shine." Snipkins sings "Heigho! how early the folks get up," in which he recounts the many inconveniences incident to country life, etc., and his objections thereto, and lamentations thereat.

Next comes a duett by "Mary" and "Jennie"—Miss Early and Miss Stimson, "Sweet Morn How Lovely is thy Face," which they rendered in so effective and faultless style as was greeted with the most fluttering demonstrations of applause. Then followed a full chorus, "To Him Who Made Us," which was well rendered, after which, comes farmer Miller, with "Now Steady Swing Your Scythes," followed by the haymakers swinging their scythes and responding "with steps firm and steady." Snipkins brings down the house by swingingliis scythe more like it was a "quill"-than a scythe, and shortly brings up against a tree and sings "Stay, hold on," to the infinite amusement of the audience, many of the gentlemen "knowing how it was themselves."

Then comes the recitation "The Sun has now Drank up the Morning Dew" by Mrs. Ryce, which she sang in most excellent style, at the conclusion of which she was enthusiastically applauded.

Then comes a Semi-chorus "Toss it hither and thither," which was given by the mowers and spreaders. "Higher and Higher Mounts the Sun," was sung by Miss Early, iu fine style and with very flattering results. After several other short songs had been rendered, Miss Early sang "In the West the Sun Declineth," and was warmly applauded.

After several other choruses among them "Softly the Twilight Fades," came the interlude where Dr. Kuester, in the character of "William," serenades "Mary," with "Mary,Love, the World Reposes," which is responded to by "Mary," Miss Early, in the dream song of "Their's Noue So Brave as Willie." The irrepressible Snipkins then puts in an appearance and sings "My Kuty's a Girl Beyond Compare," but is interrupted by the "Katydid's," while he avers that Katy didn't.

Then follovrs the second day. opening with full tehorus, "Good Morning," with grand obligate by Mrs. Richardson and Dr. Kuester, which was greeted with loud applause. Several a jngs followed, then came, a chorus and echo, ''Light-hearted are we, and Free from Care," the echo being given by an invisible quartette. This was greeted with the most flattering evidences of appreciation by the audience. V.

Here fellowed a recitation by Mrs.

•a.

R.vce of "Joy, Joy, it is Not the Tented Field," and was followed by "Scenes of Happiness I Love Ye" by the same. This was excellent and was rendered in the st fiutless manner and resulted in this tufted songster beius* encore This was followed by farmer Miller with "The Dew Now Off." Then

comes f'Simpkins" with "No not yet"

with Laughing Chorus, as Simpkins

CA"SE L»™

to ery out with pain and escape behind

the scenes from whence he comes forward and discovers one of the little tormentors inside his trow.-ers, iu the neighborhood of his boot tops. Then comes a calm, then full chorus, "A Shower, a Shower," while onr old friend, Lyndon A. Smith, was behind the scenes manufacturing

thunder and lightning with the most flattering results. Snipkins enters and sings, "Will Anybody Lend Me an Umbrella," followed by farmer Miller, with "Now Creaks the Heavy Wagon," then comes a full chorus "Shrouded is the Sun" with quartette by the Misses Cown, H. H. Teel and Ira Grover, which was received as it so richly merited—the warmest applause.

Then'foilowed a duett, "Lo the Clouds are Breaking" by Dr. ^seller and Mrs. Gould, which was wildly and enthusiastically applauded, and despite the lateness of the hour, they were compelled to re-render it, which they did. Here comes in a full chorus, ."Rainbow, Rainbow," followed by a solo and semichorus, the solo rendered by Mrs. Gould, "All Nature now 'joiceV and the entertainment closed with full chorus, "Harvtst Home."

A'grand rush was then made for the train, which was at hand iu a very few minutes and the II.iy makers were soon "HOMEWAKD BOUND."

The trip home was a very enjoyable and pleasant one, the gay party reaching the depot of the I. & S. L. road at 12:4s A. M., when the H.iymakers repaired to their homes.. The whole aftair was an unqualified success.

Slate.

LAST evening a number of lati'es, passim: the corner of Sixth and Main streets, were insulted by a party of "roosters." It is high time fo'r"this abominable nuisance lo be abated.

THE NKXT PRESIDENT of the United States.

WE understand that Judge Grain will consent that his name shall be used in connection with the Mayoralty, if it is the de-ire of his Republican friends to do so. Every one knows that the Judge would makeau efficient and economical Mayor, and we hope the Republicans of the city will feet it their interest to consider this question.

FRANK CRAWFORD came near getting into trouble this morning. The Marshal came along and found his sidewalk blockaded, and ordered it cleared at once. Frank explained by saying that his new goods were just arriving from Boston, and that they must have a little patience, as his store was full, and he was looking around for some place to store those 011 the side walk.

Franco-Prussian War. TRAIN.—An extra train will arrive at Dowling Hall this evening, which will fill that beautiful and commodious structure to its utmost capacity. That train is better known as the great George Francis, a mau that draws out all classes of society to hear his wonderful flights of oratory. He never fails to be greeted with large, brilliant, and enthusiastic audiences wherever he appears. Don't fail to be at Dowling Hall this evening and improve the only chance you may ever have of seeing and hearing this remarkable genius.

Cure for Rheumatism.

As so many are suffering with rheumatism, I could do nothing better than give a recipe that I know is good. In the spriusr and summer of I860, my wile was so afflicted with it that she could not use her right arm, and was unable to raise up iu bed. We tried my liniments, recipes and medicines, but to no purpose. Doctors said nothing could be done, only to give it time and let it wear away. One day an old German vetrinary surgeon told me to fake equal parts of the best oil of juniper and spirits of turpentine, and apply to the parts affected. I did so, and in a few days the rheumatism had entirely disappeared and my wife was well. A tew weeks later, while at a picnic, she caught cold and was soon as low as ever. Again did we apply everything we could get, galvanic batteries and ail. We got the above receipt tilled, both the oil and spirits being as clear as pure water, and in a tew days she was again well, and has remained so for over two years! Always be sure to use only the best quality of oil and spirits.—Cor. Western Rural.

They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid liver and bowels, which render them of unequalled efficacy in cleansiDg the blood of all impurities, and imparting new life and vigor to the whole system.

FOR MKI DISEASES, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Ei ysiplas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out. of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of the curative effect.

Cleanse the Vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through theskin in Pimples, Era ptions or Sores, cleanse it when you find it oostructed and sluggish in the veins cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure and the health of the system will follow.

P19T, TAPE, and other WORMS, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. For full dtiec tions, read carefully the circular around each bottle, priuted in four languages—English, Gorman, French and Spanish.
