Telegraphing.

Qui! number of young gentlemen and ladies are receiving instruction in telegraphing, at the Terre Haute com •tneroia! college. Doc. Johnson of the Western Union, is devoting his unoccupied time (from 1 o'clock to 4 P. M.) th« f.bov* college with excellent •UCCPSS. Already several students 4]live graduated in this branch at this college, and completing their course in tchighly satisfactory manner.

THE JTTNIORS,

They Give the Purchase Money for the New Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus to be Bought for ihe High School*

A "GOOD BOOS'

The Entertainment Last Xight Well Attended.

The High School has of late been taking advantage of the popular methods of raising money. Subscription papers have gone out" of date. People give to praiseworthy objects now, because, in the immediate future, they get the worth of the investment. They must either be entertained, fed, sold something, or given a chance in a lottery. The High School chose the best of all these methods. The pupils had nothing to sell, and they scorned to supplement their intellectual accomplishments with the attractions ol pickle and ire cream, or the silent but agreeable and even jocular oyster. Their venture last night was no less a triumphant success tuan on other similar occasions.

The programme opened with a chorus. Jt wa3 followed by^ prayer from Rev. E. F. Howe, who was in turn succeeded by the class in another chorus.

Gather once more*" Miss Laura Peters next delivered a salutatory. She stated that the object of the present entertainment was to raise sufficient sums to defray the expense of chemical and philosophical apparatus.

The Junior class in this their first appearance in public, on the stage, intend to place their 17 individual shoulders to the wheel, and win for themselves the gratitude of all futnre classes and the envy of all past classes when they consider the opportunities lost.

Coke Wright declaimed "A Fragment." Miss Sadie Bugh was zealously an advocate of "Routine work." She amplified on an excellent idea that we should all to succeed, take a pleasure in the labors we pertorm. All great undertakings are of necessity indebted to routine work. She delivered her essay with distinct articulation, and in pleasing and forcible style with warmth of manner.

The duette, "Two Loving Sisters," brought out a great deal of the sweet siDgiug of Misses Ida and Lizzie Ensey. These two young ladies are gems to the school they attend, often assisting in entertainments of this character most acceptable fashion. To a persistent encore ,they failed to respond, owing to the length of the programme.

Miss Emma Ward's essay, "A purpose, the crowning element," was full of sensible thought. A ship without a rudder is in luck compared to a young person without a purpose.

Miss Ida Ensey had prepared an oration upon this topic. "Man does not live for himself alone." Man is at the head of the animal kingdom. Not alone is he, in nicety of construction physically superior to any other animals, but in the principle of immortality.

She drew a bright picture of tho man of social accomplishments who lends bis priceless possession to the amuse rnent and edification or

others.

As a

companion piece, she painted the solemn, selfish habit of the recluse in very dark colors.

Tno grandeur of onr National system is due to the unselfish efforts of our predecessors. Miss Ensey's style is animated and pleasant, and her composition clear and entertaining.

Miss Alia Ash gave a history of the progress of music. She paid tribute to Miss Jenny Lind for inaugurating on the other side of the waters, a love for vocal music in it's greatest purity. Her essay was short, and historical in nature.

The momentous question (at least so in these Belknap times) "Our liepult*lic, will it last?" was taken up and ,dis cussed by Miss Allie Sockndge. Her manner was confused.

Miss Lou E. St. Ciair, sang a solo, Behold the Young, the Rosy Spring." Her voue has a full, round tone, which in the loud notes, has a pleasing effect.

Now came forward Miss Adelia Robertson with an essay on "Now." It is a period of time wonderfully small,and yet it encloses the germ of all that the industry of ages has wrought. An able etlort in the all important now, is two-thirds of the battle.

Miss Mollie Austermiller declaimed, "Liberty and Independence. Her gestures and manner evinced study and talent. "Self-reliance the Key to success," was the subject which Gillie Strout had chosen for bis essay.

Miss Lizzie Katzenbach gave a good essay on Benevolence. She placed herself about 43 years ahead of time, away out of reach ot the present Centennial, and read an an tsaay purporting to nave been written in her childhood das. She paid a high and fitting tribute to Chauncey Rose. She is slightly mistaken in stating that it was his agency whii:h changed the Providence Hospital to the present Orphan Asylum.

Miss Lizzie Ensey sung a charming solo, "If you will promise not to tell." After getting the promise of every one present "not to tell" she brought the aong to a close, and did not respond to a hearty encore. People wanted to know what that was that she was so particular about not being told.

Miss Ida Fuller's essay on "Mother gooses melodies" was full of wit. To the noble efforts ef the sisters of charity belongs the main credit of this institution*

Miss Lizzie Emey's nading of "The wreck ot the Hesperus" was really artistic.

The next thing announced by Mr. Valentino was au instrumental duette, Poet and Pleasant, by Misses Ida Fuller and Alia Ash.

Miss Lou E. St. Ciair drew forth applause on account of her essay on "Influence of Renown."

The quartette, "Ye Midnight Stars," by Messrs James Landrum, Harry Graham, and Misses Lou E. St. Clair, and Anna Hydp, while it did not prove the singers to be "lyric stars" still succeeded in pleasing the audience.

Miss Minnie Neal came last, a position, by the way, almost exactly the opposite of that she very often occupies in her class, viz: first. This may, however, be explained by the fact that she pronounced tne "Valedictory,"and did it in such engaging manner as to leave pleasant memories with every one there.

»*alf Barrel of Fish goes Begging. Y-»ierday A1 Wilson, of Durkee|s feri y, was in town selling the piscatori at products of that part of the Wabash. He had his son with him, who assisted him in peddling the fish. Fortune smiled down on him like a sun-burst of glory. He got drunk. Business came to a standstill. His son could not induce him to go home, so he dumped a half barrel of firh ont in front of Voge's saloon and left his father who insisted that he could sell them, to take care of them. The old gentleman wandered off, leaving the fish in Voge's care, and up to the latest intelligence, had not appeared. Tho fish are spoiling,

A Mormon Leap Year Ball. Salt Lake City had a leap year ball. From the account of the affair as published in the Tribune of that city, it was a grand affair. It appears that our Terre Haute colonists in that polygamous village "did themselves proud," so to speak. Here is what the Tribune says of Terre Haute belles of years gone by, before they were transplanted to mormoniiom to bud and blossom among, and make love to the daughters of Brigham Young. It says:

Mr. J-m-s McGr-g-r- a handBome blonde, was tbe

Mr. J. C. B-LL wore an elaborate full dress suit, corral jewelry and immaculate linen. Although this gentleman dances but little, his society was much sought after by the fair gallants. He was to be seen at all times surounded by a bevy of ladies eager to outdo each other in polite attention. He was the belle of tne bal'.
