Mr. JAMES GoFFE, Principal Of the
High School of Laporte, Indiana, spent
the holidays at home visiting his
friends in Kenosha. He made US q
pleasant call one day last week and
from him we obtained some knowledge
of Laporte and it's schools. Laporte is
city of about 10000 inhabitants and
returns about 5000 children of school
age, Of which about 1,10o attend the
public schools. There are six Ward
schools and High school. There is
also a superintendent who gives all
his time to the inside and outside of
the schools. He has an office in the
high school and hears the recitations of
two classes Of the high school in his
office. The rest of his time he spends
in attending to the various interests
Of the schools and the duties of the

MIR. HOSEA BARNS, County Superin-

office and going into other business
sewers his connection with the TELE-
GRAPH, as Educational Editor, as an
nounced by him last week.
AS an Educational Editor Mr. Barns
has ably conducted the Educational
Department Of the TELEGRAPH. His
articles have attracted attention and
some Of them been quoted by Educa-

pleasant and profitable and we regret
that circumstances should require his
separation from the TELEGRAPH. And
wherever he may go and in whatever
he may be engaged we wish him pros
perity and happiness.

ID. A. MARoNEY, Superintendent of
Schools, we hear, was in Kenosha last
week, but he did not call on us or at
the TELEGRAPH Office, and we did not
have the pleasure Of meeting or seeing
him. What Mr. Mahoney contemplates
in relation to the Educational of the
TELEGRAPH we have no means Of
knowing. The Teachers Association
of Kenosha County have provided that
the Comfy Superintendent shall be it's
editor, which, as far as the action of
the Association could do it, would con-
stitute Mr.. Mahoney the Educational
Editor. But, as Mr.. Mahoney has not
made known to us his intentions and
purposes, we do noe know what he in
tends or proposes do.

Well as we have winter at last with
a little snow, and refreshing breezes
from old Boreas, and roads, which,
while riding on them makes one aw-
full unpleasantly "shuck up like" But
we have no mud that is one comfort.
The holidays are past and we are
fairly entered upon the new year. It
seems odd to write rs. The driZzling
rain and unfathomable mud prevented
many from engaging in holiday festiv-
tiles, yet several small dinner parties
were enjoyed by those who were the
participants. Christmas eve, the Sun

perintendent, gave an entertainment
consisting Of dialogues, an illustrated
motto by the wee ones, select read
ings, declarations, music Sc, and judg-

pla Use we infer that the exercises were
we'll rendered and well received; and
Notwithstanding the unfavorable con-
dition Of the roads and the incessant
rain the church was filled and everyone
appeared merry" The evening clos

able ST. Nick in attendance. The ST.

I'll. Great Emporium on Court Street.

That is the name Hugh Gillen's large mercan-
tile establishment has justly won on account OF
tbe MAGNITUDE and variety of its stock, and it is
Int truth to saw it rules the day. It not only eX
GELS in quantity and quality of its dry goods, but
is up with any other establishment in the coun-
try in the extent and excellence of its stock of
Groceries and Boots and Shoes. Our present
purpose, however, is mainly to speak OF the eX-
ceptional excellence and beauty as well as I'M
exampled cheapness of Mr.. Gillen's stock of
DRESS GOODS.
While in this department the big sales referred
to a week or two ago continue undated, the con-
slant new arrivals from the east keep up the
stock equal to any demand. Have you seen those
silks-those poplins-those bereges, lawns, DC. !
We pledge our honor you do yourself Injustice II
you make purchases even in Il mammoth Chicago
house without first looking at the goods at Gill
lens. Houses that carry the enormous expenses
of the big city concerns can never afford to sell
such goods at such figures. This is honest truth
that hundreds know from experience.
The triumph Gillen has achieved towards con
trolling the trade in the finer silks and dress
goods is no less conspicuous in his trade III
cloths, especially the finer French and English
cloths, and in cassmeres, doeskins, &c. People
miss it in buying shop-work when they can have
such cloths made up to order at no greater ex-
pense.
Need anything be said about Gillen's stock of
spring and summer shawls, mantillas, parasols;
or about his incompatible ginghams, calicoes,
linens, shrtngs, sheetings, and SO on down
through all the staples to 5 cent stockings? bet
your life" you will find nothing better or cheaper
in all these lines anywhere in this part of the
country.
But talk is cheap. What Gillcn especially
begs of all is to prove the pudding by the eating.
Call and see for yourselves.

THE MOTHER GOOSE ENTERTAINMENT Mt Tur-
ner Hall on Thursday evening drew out an i'm
mense audience and was Il decided hit. The
venerable dame mustered her entire family, con-
ssting of twenty five or thirty members, all ar
rayed in appropriate custnme and each having II
characteristic little speech or gesture to make or
song to chant. Where all were faultless it may
be inyiduous to particuarizc, but we must be
excused for saying that Pussy, Froggy and Baby
Buntin were more than well gotten up, while the
good mother and her viyacous son Jack were
overwhelmed with the cares and pcrplexitics of
so extensive a household. The whole thing was
lust what it was intended to be-yery funny and
very absurd.
The singing of Josie Rhodes and Miss Jordan
was admirable and each piece was enthusiastical-
lly encored, while the character duet of Florence
Nash and Alice Macarthur was the hit Of the
evening
The tableauy, also, were exceptionally fine,
notably the Artists Studio than which We never
saw a finer. The bloody tragedy of William Tell
appropriately capped the climax OF the gaucher
les of the evening in a bloodlcss sanguinary
denouemcnt.

The Art of Prolonging Life.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and premature death are almost
always due to violations of the laws that govern
our physical being, and of which the masses are
ignorant. If men knew better they would do bet
ter; but how can they avoid an evil they know
not of! While efforts are made through the
public schools to give each child so-called COM
mon English education, yet the children are per-
mitted to grow up and enter upon the RESPONSE
BILE duties of active life, profoundly ignorant of
the structure of their own bodies, and the laws Of
physical being upon which their health and lives
depend. They are sent to school and crammed
arithmetic, grammar, and geography, by teachers
who, in many instances have never studied ply
sology and hygiene. They are taught to locate
the mountains and trace the rivers of foreign
countries, but are never taught to locate the vital
organs and glands Of their own bodies, or trace
the veins arteries and nerves. in their various
Iramiiicatons. They are instructed in the flow Of
the tides, and the course of the ocean currents
and the philosophy of winds and storms; but they
haveno current conception of the relative effects
upon their health of breathing pure or impure
air, nor has their attention ever been called to
the importance of keeping their bodies clean and
healthy by regular bathing. The criminality Of
such neglect in teaching becomes apparent when
we consider that the masses, ignorantly violating
the laws of health, bring upon themselves sick
ness, suffering, and death, that might
otherwise be avoided. In this condition Of things
we welcome into being any work that is calculat-
ed to impart to the masses knowledge OF the
structure of their own bodies, the laws of health,
and the importance of observing those laws. We

converted into Il textbook for the use of common

children become Of proper age instruct them in
the all-imporant truths it contains. Were this

OBITUARY. Mr. James Calvin, who died April
4th ult at his home north of Buffalo Rock, was
worthy of far more than mere cold announce
ment in brief words of his death. He was a man
of a generous and social turn, and had endeared
himself to a wide circle of warm and true friends.
He was born in Boston, Mass, and removed to this
county with his parents at an early age, and by
industry and prudence obtained a competency.
He died as he lived, a faithful Catholic. His age
was 4G; disease Asthma. He was unmarried.
His funeral was very large and Dean Terry de-
llvercd to his weeping friends and the large audi
ence at the funeral an eloquent address.
