Literary Exercises in the Upper Girls
High School.

half day was very pleasantly and
profitably spent by the teachers and pupils
of the Upper Girls High School yesterday
in literary exercises. A suitable programme
was presented of we'll selected pieces, COM
prising recitatiOns, compositions dialogues
and music, the latter being under the imme-
diate supervision. of Professor Cordona, the
musical instructor of the school. Were it
quite proper thing to do, the REPUBLICAN
would give the public detailed account of
all that took place-what pieces were spo-
ken by each young lady; how Miss Chalafour
lectured Mr.. Caudle as we hope she will
lecture no other man: how Miss Emma
Beach described the release of the captive
young Englishman, who came within an
ace of being burned at the stake by the In
dians, through the timely influence of
Gems Of 1875 punned on the names of their
school fellows and teachers and did not
spare even the directors. We would remark
| that Miss Stevenson, in the character of
| pious old Yankee lady, inveighed against
the introduction Of an organ into her
church, which had given herself
and a steady going old deacon
a heap of trouble, how Miss Stubor gave
Thorenstein Ranchi, spirited Italian
butcher boy, chance to chaunt the praises
of his cleaver, romantically called sword
| tor effect. Miss Lampkin wrote letter;
little Miss Stronger gave a specimen of
French, which she and Mrs. Howard fully
understood, though many others, including
our reporter, did not, and how, finally,
saucy little mise, with decidedly auburn
locks, criticised the whole performance
| piquantly and as fairly as due regard to
the feelings of the senior class would per.
init. The REPUBLICAN would go on and
tell all about it, but for the fact that it was
semi-private amateur exhibition of literary
skill, the which to expose would bring on
us the penalty OF being omitted in the in
vitations to the next. Therefore, our re-
porter refuses to say word bey ound rep
reese nting that the affair was successful; the
young ladies beautiful; their teachers un-
necessarily anxious; the audience attentive
and pleased, and the dancing, after the
formal exercises were over, of very vigor-
| ous description.
The exhibitions of the Upper Girls High
School, like those of the Shakespeare Club,
always draw a fine audience. If Ben De
Bar and Dave Bidwell could always do the
same on their terms, they would soon be
rich, whether they succeed in putting on
the 1.-TWO Orphans or not.
| There is a good deal of ability in our
Upper Girls High School, and we are happy
to add, the young ladies are ever ready to
show their powers to their parents and
friends.
The teachers for this year are Mrs. NJ. E.
Mallam, principal; Mrs. L. M. Richardson,
teacher of sciences; Miss Mary W. Cream
teacher of rhetoric and composition; Mrs
M. A. Houghton, teacher of mathematics
Miss s. A. Smith, teacher of literature and
ancient history; and Mrs. A. L. Howard,
| teacher of French.

The Missouri Election.

To-day the electors of Missouri will vote
upon the adoption or rejection of the new
constitution. Like almost all Of such in
struments Of these latter days, it is of great
length, and enters into the minutest de-
tails.
In the bill of rights it proclaims all power
as coming from the people; that they have
the sole right to regulate internal govern.
ment, and that Missouri is free and inde-
pendent State, with the saving clause of the
constitution of the United States. No
money, directly OF indirectly, is to be taken
from the treasury in support Of religious
institutions, and no discrimination allowed

trivial details. The suffrage qua 'itcations

| as follows:
