Editors Journal:
Through much dustand tribulation
we arrived safely in this busy little
place, and are oongratulating ourselves
over the fact that tho aOoommodat-
Haute did not succeed in smashing
our trunks entirely.
Whether it be sdue to the Repub-
lican City Council, the Charlottesville
Journal, or some unseen and equally
potent influence, is a matter of doubt,
but signs of improvement are visible
on every side. Many new dwellings,
are being erected in various parts of
town, while the several store fronts
rapidly rising IN the business portion
of the city give evidence of merean-
tile prosperity.
The crops are very abundant.
Wheat and potatoes, especially, are
fine, plenty and cheap. The business
of the railroad, lately completed
from here to indianapolis, has so in
creased that two additional trains are
soon to be added. The absorbing
theme among business men Is rail
roads. 1t is hoped that the road from
here to Logansport viii, ere long, be
put through, and the Il. a. O. Rail-
road extended to this place, thus
affording advantages to your city, as
we'll as this, in direct communication
with Southern market for the guam
titles OF produce raised in this region
Of country.
Wabash College opened on Wednes-
day last. The magnificent campus has
been trimmed and cared for during
vacation, making it present quite an
improved appearances The number
of new students this year are IN
usually large, forty-seven having en-
tered the freshman class alone. The
increase of students has necessitated
the employ Of an additional tutor.
MIR. NJ. d. Whiteforde, of the class Of
'67, a thorough scholar and accom-
plished gentleman, has been chosen
to fill the place. The opening lecture
of DR.. futile, on Sabbath evening,
was largely attended, and, as usual,
we'll received. He preached from
Psalms lis: q, and if this sermon be
the result Of his extensive travels
during vacation, we say let all good
Presidents Of colleges be so blessed
in future times.
The new wing rises slowly on
account of the difficulty In obtaining
workmen and material. The work in
progress on the new building and the
railroad running through the campus
gives the place quite a business like
appearance. The railroad by running
through the grounds, does not injure
their appearance much, and will
show off y Wabash considerable.
Everything is now in running order.
The Professors are as good looking
and obliging as ever. after their vaca-
ton travels, aud, with the increased
attendance Of students, all things
prOphesy n prosperous year for this
growing institution. The Evansville
boys are thus far we'll pleased with
the situation, Henry Babcoek having
to return home being the only mis-
fortune yet met with. Henry is a
good student, and his loss will be
mourned, not only by his class, but
also by his many friends in the College.
All hope that he may soon recover
from the illness which causes his alb
sence and be with US again. T

An old and true friend.

A gentleman played off a rich joke
ON his better half the other day.
Being somewhat of an epicure, he
took it into his head that morning
that he should like a first-rate dinner
So he addressed her a note, politely
informing her that a gentleman of
her acquaintance-an old and true
friend-would dine with her that
day. As soon as she received it, all
hands went to work to get everything
in order. Precisely at u o'clock she
was prepared to receive her new guest.
The house was as neat as a pin, a
sumptuous dinner was on the table,
and she was arrayed in her best
attire. A gentle knock was heard,
and she started with a palpitating
heart, to the door. She thought it
must be an old friend, perhaps a
brother, from the place whence they
once moved. On opening the door
she saw her husband, with a smiling
countenance.
"Why, my dear" said she, in an
anxious tone, "where is the gentle
man of whom you spoke in your
note?"
why" replied the husband COM
plaeently, "here he is"
"You said a gentleman of my ac-
quaintance-an old and true friend
would dine with me to-day"
"Well," said he gOOd-humoredly,
''am mot a gentleman of your ac-
quaintanee-an old and true friends"
"Oh :" said she, distressingly, sis
there nobody but you 81
MOI
"Well 1 declare this is to bad"
said his wife in an angry tone.
The husband laughed immOderately
but finally, they sat down costly
together, and for once, he had a good
dinner without having company.

Of course they succeeded admirably.
One evening, H and some of his
