CITY HIGH SCHOOL.
CoiiiH'fuefuK*lit TxP'"eisp« of a Most Successful Year at Ihe Opera House.
InterestingI.ierary Exerciscs
TjHst evening was one long to be remembered in this city with a thrill of real pleasure by the many relatives and other friends of the young ladies and gentlemen who graduated with so high honors from our city High School, on that occasion. The exercises were had at the Grand Opera Houee, which was crowded from orchestra to the second gallery. Those who were present, however, were not curiosity seekers, but friends of the graduating class in particular, and of our city schools and the cause of education in general. There are no cities on the continent where more delight is taken in the success.of the rising generation in literary and general educational advancement than in Terre Haute. This was evidenced by the large attendance and unbounded enthusiasm made manifest at the commencement, exercises of our excellent High School last evening.
The evening's entertainmeut—for it certainly was an entertainment—was opened and liberally interspersed by music throughout.
Miss Sallie Glick opened the literary exercises by delivering a very creditable salutary in behalf of the graduating class.
Miss Rosa O'Rovle followed with an oration entitled, "We build our own monument," making apparent to her auditors the fact that every person is the architect of his or her own monument, by the deeds done in the body that monuments made of stone are naught as compared to those made by a true and noble life.
Miss Lettie Magill, read an essay on What will the Harvest be which reflected great credit on the young lady, as a writer. The production exhibited a graceful style of composition aud some considerable depth of thought.
Mr. Harry G. Thompson, followed with au oration, entitled "Inventive Power," which was well prepared and creditably delivered, and was well received.
Miss Em me Rupe, recited an original poem, of great merit, entitled "The Mill Cannot Grind with the Water that is Past," which she applied to life most appropriately. Miss Rupp exhibits, in a very large degree, the geuius of a mt-ural-born poetess.
Mr. Clias. H. Gordon followed with an excellent oration on"Life, and How Shall we u^eit?" ill which he took strong ground in favor of each and every person through life, ever striving to make a great and good name instead of money. That the great object in life was to do some good act.
Miss Jennie Nmicoru delivered an oration entitled, 'i-fe cl) loseth best,

which was well written and delivered. Miss Alice Walter delivered au oration bearing on woman's sphere, entitled,
"A tna'den stalks with Minerva's step, Vi liert- Mars lit quake to tread." This was a view of the rights of woman, from a woman's stand point, and the fair orator insisted on the right of ft ininincs to all the privileges accorded the masculines by law and custom. The oration was well worded and well delivered, eliciting great applause.
Miss Josephine Merrell followed this with an oration entitled "Self-mastery an Elenn nt of Success," in which she ably argued that oue must master self before others, reminding her auditors that he who is master over self is greater than he who taketh a city.'' Miss Merrell made the subject her careful study, evidently, and succeeded well for her pains.
Miss Mattie Mack read an essay suggestively entitled "Sunbeams for verily the beautiful thought and the poesy of diction of the essay was suggestive of sunbeams of literature—age and experience of the writer considered. Miss Mack read her essay in a clear, distinct voice, aud was warmly applauded at its clo^e.
Miss Glick here reappeared and produced a demonstration in mathematics entitled a "Problem of Lights," ju wbiob
she mathematically summed up the problem of living. Miss Ella Countri'man's essay, on "Our Work of Life," was well prepared and delivered. Iu her essay she summed up the duties and responsibilities of our earthly career, iu a very original and thoughtful style.
Mr. Chas. Adnms (not Charles Francis, Sr.,) orated on "Superstition," in a very able and energetic manner. He took the grounds that superstition controlled some of the ablest minds the world has ever known, as well as the weak.
Miss Mary F. Reeves' essay, on "Language is the Mirror of Thought," was a beautiful piece of amateur composition, and we feel was so pronounced by all who heard it—and we are sorry to say all did not, because Miss R. failed to read with sufficient vigcr. In composition, none excelled it.
Miss Linnie Surrell read an essay entitled "The world is full of beauty, And would be full of lo\e, if all would do their duty," ill which she gave all some wholesome advice for which the world would be the better if heeded. Her essay was well written, well read, and well received.
Miss Jennie Thompson followed with an essay of rare merit, entitled God calls the laborers home,
But still the work es on." Much thought and originality of expression was made manifest throughout the essay. The sentiments expressed were ennobling, soul elevating, and well calculated toiuspire one with high resolves.
Miss Sallie St. John delivered an oration entitled Labor Necessary to Great Attainments taking grounds that all great and glorious achievements have been wrought by great and persisteut labor, citing the history of our race for proof ot her assertion.
Miss Eva Fisher delivered one of the best orations we have ever heard from an amateur, on the following text: "Character too often Estimated by Wealth." To use a common expression of the day, "there was much more more truth than pgetry" in what she said on this subject and she said it iu elegant language, direct to the point, and in clear, ringing tones. The audience was very demonstrative during its delivery.
Mr. Arthur M. Greene was a funny fellow, and made the audience ®el funny when he told them iu his oration of his experiences as a farmer, merchant, insurance agent, &c. He was warmly applauded when he asserted his determination to be a farmer henceforth.
Diplomas were then awarded to the graduating class. B. V. Marshall closed the literary exercises by delivering in good voice au ably written valedictory, in which he paid his respects to the teachers on behalf of the graduating class, and gave the class some sound advice.
Tiius ended the graduating exercises of the class of 1S72, Terre Haute High School, closing the most successful school year that institution has ever enyed. The audience during the evening, though immense, maintained a high degree of order, and eviuced a deep interest in the exercises, frequently applaudiug, and showering the stage with bouquets, as the different parts of the programme were being rendered. At the conclusion of the evening's entertainmeut all went to their homes, feeling as if they had enjoyed a treat, and satisfied themselves that the educational interests of Terre Haute are not waning.
HARRY JUMP, the combative and destructive ex-editor of the Newport Transcript, (now defunct), who endeavored to suspend the Iloosier State by braining its editor with his own little crutch, carried terror and dismay into the dining room of the Terre Haute House yesterday during the delightful dinner hour. He did it with his voracious appetite! By the way, Harry, we want you to understand that we are out of town since writing this.
A WOM?N who was formerly an actress in a St. Louis variety troupe, attempted to commit suicide, in a boardine house of this city, yesterday, by shooting. The pistol with which she hoped to accomplish self-destruction was taken from her hand by a servant.— Express.
According to the Fort Wayne Gazette of a few days since, shS made the same attempt in that city, but was prevented bv her servant, or some other equally officious individual.
CHURCH going will be in order to-mor-row. Don't remain at home on account of the smallpox, for if you are to have the dread disease better take it in church than elsewhere, especially at a circus. We presume that the Board of Health will not fulminate a bull against going to church for fear of contracting the disease, as they did the circus.
SMALLPOX is becoming disgusted with the treatmeut it is receiving at Terre Haute, and will probably emigrate soon. —Jnd. Journal.
Correct. In a very short time there will not be a case within or in the vicinity of our city. Even now, none of the patients are in a position where theycan spread the insidious infection.
THE smallpox contagion is fast Joeing its terrors to our ruralistic friends. Great numbers of them are in the city to-day. This is as it should be, for there is no dinger at this time, there being not more than a half dozen contagious cases withiu or about the city.
SENATOR CARL SCHURZ, Senator Lyman Trumbull, Hon. Cassius M. Clay, Gov. B. Gratz Brown, Hon. T. A. Hendricks, and others, are announced to speak in the city of Springfield, Illinois, on the 26th inst. That date will be a great and good day in the Sucker Capital.
THE Indianapolis daily Commercial has been purchased by the Journal, and will be consolidated with that publication at once. The late editor, of the CommercialM. G. Lee assumes the editorial chair of the Evening Journal, which is now the organ of the city,
POISONED.—Two children of James Randice, who is an employe at Hunter's stable, came near losing their lives last evening by poison. It appears that one of his neighbors had thrown out poison for rats, and the children ate it. Dr. Roberts was called, and succeeded in saving their lives. Persons cannot handle such poisons too carefully.
DISHON owns the largest New Foundland dog in this municipality. Billy Mason is engaged in the cheerful duty of clipping the lomr, shaggy hair from his ponderous body. Dishflta wants his dog to look like the shorn sheep but as he is only to have the hair from the caudal appendage to the shoulders sheared off, his canine will look more like a terrific Numidian lion.
THE .EXPRESS is in receipt of an advertisement of counterfeit money from New York, designed to gull dishonest greenhorns. It was respectfully declined, says the local. But why this declination It must have been that the operators wanted the management to accept counterfeit money iu payment for their space. Certainly the readers of the impress have been gulled before.
THE stockholders of the JCvansville fe Crawfordsville Railroad have voted unanimously to confirm the lease of the Roekville branch to the Logansport & Southeistern Railroad, to take effect July 1.— Indianapolis Sentinel. W*,
And thus we will soon have direct communication with Detroit by this line aud connections.
TONY PASTOR has an attraction in the way of an advertisement of his troupe. Miss Josephine Mansfield, of Fisk-Stokes fame, travels with him. and occupies a prominent position in one of the proscenium boxes. Tonv pays her $100 per week and expenses.—Cincinnati Commercial.

IF the Terre Haute Express wants any more old almanacs, it can be supplied from this section. Its daily quotations from these are like salt meat in hot weather—too old for relish.—Marshall Herald.

THE PROPOSED NEW COAL ROAD.
The
Proposition Made to the City for Cheap Coal. At the meeting of the Council Committee on Railroads last evening, the representatives of the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Railroad were present to make a proposition which, it is claimed, will, if adopted, insure to the city a full supply of coal at all times and at a moderate cost. Mr. Thomas Wrightson, as the spokesman of the railroad corporation, preseuted the case substantially as follows:
Tiie City Council can buy coal and hold it over. They ean buy and own horses and buggies. They own some now. If they have the legal right to own a horse and buggy they have an equal legal right to buy and own a locomotive and a coal-car. This being granted, let us utilize the idea. Suppose $200,000 is invested in coal, at a cost, for the sake of round numbers, say of 10 cents this would give 2,000,000 bushels. If they can peddle this out to the poor they have the same right to sell it to manufacturers and other consumers. To bring this coal here they would have aright to tuy and own the equipment necessary to carry it. Let us see what could be done with $500,000 invested in this way, and what the result would be. Five hundred eight-wheeled coal-cars made of wood, carrying fifteen tons each, well made, can be bought for about $750 each, amounting to $375,000. To handle this number of cars would require about ten locomotives, costing $13,000 each, or $130,000, making a total outlay of $505,000. With five hundred coal cars the amount of work that could be done would be about as follows Taking into account the necessary delays of loading, unloading and in transit, each car would make about four trips per month, not more but they could be made to do this. 500 car loads of 15 tons each would be 7,500 tons four times a mouth would be 30,000 tons, or 360,000 tons per year or counting 28 bushels to the ton it would be 10,080,000 bushels— one-third the amount of our present consumption. With this amount of coal assured to us by rail at twelve cents per bushels in the yard, even if it did not secure it at eleven cents, Pittsburg coal would never sell to the consumer higher thau fourteen cents per bushel a net saving, on a year's supply of 30,000,-000 bushels, over the price fixed by the syndicate for the present run, of four cents per bushel, or $1,200,000, The investment, assuggested, would be, by citizens, $500,000 by the city, $700,000—total, $1,200,000,or the amount of the sum saved in single year.
We have shown that it will pay, in one way at least. We now propose to show that it willpay in auother, and that the city can get her money back iu a reason able time. We have repeatedly statedthat cents per ton per mile is a fair price for hauling coal. The O. & M. ofters to do it for less.
Now, where parties furnish their own cars, a drawback of wheelage is allowed. This wheelage, the railroad companies contracting to care for the cavs and keep them in repair, would be ont-half a cent per ton per mile, or 75 cents per ton on the average haul of 150 miles. Wheelage would therefore amount to, on 360,000 tons at 75 cents, $240,000 a year and in three years to $720,000. If the city should furuish $500,000 for equipment, and $200,000 to invest in coal, so as to secure a stock on baud, she would thus get her money back in three years, and still have $200,000 worth of coal on hand, and $500,000 of equipment, which is better than she has ever done with any other railroad operations she has heretofore gone into. When this was accomplished, the city couid afford to sell the equipment to the railroad at a nominal price, peddle out, her $200,000 worth of coal and retire from the field, leaving it entirely to private enterprise. It seems clear that such an arrangement is legitimate, and would accomplish the desideratum—cheap coal for Cincinnati.
The engineer of the new road, who was present, explained that iu their leases of coal larfid they reserved the right to have one-sixth or one-fourth of each tract operated for the exclusive purpose of furnishing the Cincinnati market at a fixed price aud for its delivery on cars in proportionate lots all through the year.
The whole matter was referred to a sub-committee in connection with the City Solicitor, with instructions to examine into the legality of the proposition, and bring in an ordinance.

LONDON, June 22.—The Cobden Club havesummoued the International Free Trade Congress to meet at this city in 1873. Representatives from the various powers throughout the \frorld are invited to attend and participate in the proceedings.
LONDON, June 22.—The Australian telegraph authorities have arranged so as to convey telegrams by horse express over the section of country where the lands lines are yet unfinished. By this means business, with slight delay, may be expected more regularly and with considerable speed to South Australia, Victoria Queensland, New South Wales, and Tasmania. A hundred miles of land lines are yet unfinished.
NAPAREE, ONT., June 22.—A fearful accident occurred last night on the Grand Trunk Railroad, a mile east of Sharonville. The engine of the express train going east was thrown off the track, and the baggage aud first-class cars piled on the top of it. The escaping steam passed through the cars, and seven or eight persons were killed and about thirty wounded, many fatally.
LATER.—Reports from the scene of the accident state that there were nine killed and fifty seriously injured. Many of the latter goaded to desperation by the pain resulting from injuries by the steam, tore off their clothes and ran about in the wildest delirium like madmen. A full list of the killed and wounded cannot be obtained yet.
NEW YORK, June 22.—The Cotton .Exchange resolved yesterday to adjourn from the 3d to the 8th of July.
Betting on the race between Harry Bassett and Longfellow, to come oft the 2d of July, is now about $100 to $90, although several large sums have been wagered even. Betting has been very lively for the past few days. Both horses are in excellent condition and are taking daily exercise in Monmouth Park. Longfellow was yesterday morning given half a mile run ou the tmck, which he made in fifty-one seconds, without great exertion.
The morning papers, commenting on the bolt of the Free Traders and conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, consider it a farce.
NEW YORK, June 22.—The Herald says it is now morally certain .that Greeley will be nominated at Baltimore, by a two-tbird vote or more, on the first ballot, as the Democratic candidate for the White House against Grant.
The Herald considers that with Greeley as the Democratic candidate, we are sure of one of the most exciting and most hotly coutested Presidential battles in the history of the country.
A fire occurred about seven o'clock this morning, at 18 aud 20 Liberty street. The house was occupied by George A. Lerkenbrach & Co., chemists Perkins, Palmer & Co., printer^ Johnson & Mullens, blank books Bennett, book paper, and one or two other parties. Four or five firemen were injured by au explosion of vitriol two or three seriously. Engineer Monroe, fireman, foreman of engine No. 6, assistant foreman, Henry, and one or two privates. Loss not yet ascertained will probably reach thirty thousand dol-» lars.
The Herald's special from Geneva, says it has at last transpired that the question of the indirect claims has been definitely settled and in a manner unexpected by any members of the Court of Arbitration as well as by our side of the world. At a meeting of the Court on the 19th, an issue came up suddenly, which placed the subject of these claims wholly in possession of the court and called for its action upon them. The American agent and counsel having been instructed by their Government to declare that the Government of the United States did not seek money as a reward for indirect losses through the acts of the Alabama and other vessels, but only desired the settlement of a principle. Lord Tenterdou, on the part of his government, called the attention of the court to the seventh article of the treaty of Washington, which gives the arbitrators only authority to consider claims in relation to money awards, and submitted that since the United States government had declared that they did not seek money awards for these classes of claims, they could not be properly entertained by the court. The American counsel therefore demanded judgment on this issue, the object of the American government having been all along to secure a decision of the arbitrators on the subject of indirect claims.
The court took time for its decision, but is known to have decided in favor of the point raised by Tenterdon, and against the admissibility of the iudirect claims.

NEW YORK, June 21.—Another terrible explosion occurred this morning, by which seventeen firemen were badly injured. The fire broke out on eighteenth and twentieth streets. The firemen were soon on the spot, some of them workiug in the midst of flame when carboys of vitriol exploded.
The effect of this was terrible. The contents of the store are scattered in every direction. Of the firemen, at work in and around the store, seventeen were so badly injured that it was necessary to remove them to the hospital. John Burke, assistant foreman of engine No. 4, and Edward Burke, Francis Murray and Thos. Flyuu died shortly after the explosion.
The following are seriously inj ired John J. Curtis, Dennis Donovan, James Hennessy, Patrick Callahan, John A. Ryan, LouisSchlain ard John Schwartz. John Battersbury, fireman, cannot recover. Others of the wounded will probably die.

Southern members threatened that if the resolution to admit negroes was passed, they would not be again represented in the convention. The question was finally laid over until to-day.
John Soms, stepson of Mr. Williams, Oregon, Attorney General of the United States, was arrested here yesterday on a charge of stealing a quantity of jewelry from a young lady to whom he had been paying his addresses in Baltimore.
