PROF. CLARK'S FIRST CONCERT.

This delightful entertainment passed of
with great eclat last evening. The house
vas well filled, and the audience enthusiastic.
The little chaps and chapesses acquitted them
selves bravely, and gave evidence of great care
IN training. The programme was well
arranged, and possessed the advantage of
being free from the ordinary threadbare plat
form pieces. The boy did not stand ON the
burning deck, nor was the bOatman compelled
to put III big lIcGs to get away from the old
party who shouted oh, my daughter, ON the
shore, and We were not called upon to scarce
expect. The parts were all well sustained.
Little Red Riding Hood was as cunning and
cute us she could be, and the Wolf as fierce
as the law allowed Miss Felice Genesse, the
star OF the evening, was unique. She is a
young lady of decided ability, which pro
perly fOstered and trained will make her a
great success. The chorusses were remark
ably fine. Hail, Bonnteous May" and the
grand chorus, "Home Returning" were rem
dered with fine effect. When 1t is taken into
consideration that four months ago the Pro
fessors pupils knew almost nothing about
music, the verdict must be favorable to the
instructor and instructed. Entire change of
programme tonight, with ono exception. to-
wit: Red Riding II pod will be repeated by
special request.

assemblage of visitors. The blackbOards

We had the pleasure Of attending only por-
ton of the exercises, in the afternoon. The
reading WAS very good, few of the pupils
being excellent readers, but as a class it did
not average as well as the one We heard the
day before. The dictation exercise was very
interesting, and brought out the abilities Of
the scholars in several branches. 1t included
an examination in writing from dictatlon,
spelling, definition, analysis and grammar,
and the Masters and Misses evinced great
proficiency We wish We could have re
NAMED longer, for the exercise was fast be

LECTURE.

We wish once more to call attention to the
lecture of Nathan Sheppard at the Methodist
church to night. 1t will be literary treat.
Professor Sheppard is no mere adventurer,
but gentleman of acknowledged and
well earned ability, both as a
critic and dramatic reader. The Chicago
Tribune thus closes very fattering notice of
one of his lectures "For pith, pungency, and
pathos we have seldom heard it equalled
Highly as the press, where it has been de
livered, have spoken of its merits, were
far from being prepared for so great success
in the lecturing art 1t ranks with the char
acteristic efforts of the masters of popular lee
turing" Remember Dickens with readings

The Coed Fortune that. Attends Jests-

a pretty ample list might be made of
men who have owed their success in life to
some well-timed jest. Prince Menschikoff
earned his position aJ the court of the Gar
Nicholas entirely by his caustic wit and
Marshal Junot, while still d young sabaL
tern, attracted the attention Of the COM
mander-in-chief by coolly observing, as
shell scattered earth over the dispatch
which he was writing at the latter's dicta-
tion: " It's very kind of them to sand ,
our letters for u.s." The traditions of the
English Navy have preserved another in
stance of the kind well worth quoting.
When the Duke of Clarence, afterward
William ", went down to Portsmouth to
inspect the British seventy -fours, the guide
allotted to him was battered old 1ieuten-
amt with one eye, who, lacking "friend
at Court" had served for years without
promotion. AS the veteran removed his
hat to salute his royal visitor, the latter re-
marked his badness, and said jestingly, II
see, my friend, you have not spared your
hair in your country's service" Why,
your Royal Highness," answered the old
sssalt," $50 many young fellows have
stepped over my head that it's wonder
I've got any hair left" The Duke laughed
loudly at this professional joke, but he
made note of the old mans name at the
same time, and few days after the latter
was agreeably surprised to receive his ap-
pointment as captain.

Prepare for Cola Snaps.
Praiiie Farmer.

PFalile Farmer.
The season is now approaching in the
North, and will follow day to day as we go
South, when tender plants that have
bloomed during the summer in the garden,
will be killed if not attended. Very often
we have a cold snap which will be followed
with week or ten days of genial weather.
Thus a white frost will often kill tender
plants and flowers, while little care would
serve to make the garden gay, and more
careless cultivators will be mourning the
loss of their floral beauties. We have
lately given directions how to revive ten
der plants injured by frost. The better
way is TO save them from frost before it
comes. This, q slight covering will do.
Ali that is necessary is to prevent radiation,
and it is surprising how slight a covering
will answer; newspapers, orsheets weighed
dow n SO they may not be blown away, an
swering admirably. In the case of running
vines, etc, the covering may be tackled
around them, removing the same as soon
as the sun appears unless the wind be cold.
Indeed, cold wind often does serious dam
age. Thus, tender climbers should always
be planted where they may not be severely
blown about.

History Of the Corset.

The corset had its origin in Italy, and was
introduced from that country into France
by Catherine de Medicis. Mary Stuart
and Diane de Hooters did not, however,
follow the fashion, but it was of once ad-
mtted by all the ladies of the French court
that it was indispensable to the beauty of
the female figure, and was, therefore,
adopted by them The corset was in th ose
days in its infancy, and it assumed more
of the rough character of a knights. cni-
rass The frame was entirely of iron, and
the velvet which decorated the exterior
hid frightful and cumbersome machine.
This state of things, SO detrimental to
health and the cause of SO much inconyen-
fence, not to say torture, did not last long,
and the artisans of these days contrived to
give more pliability and lightness to the
metal, and prepared the way by degrees for
whalebone. But as reformers are always
slow, the cold iron continued to clasp the
warm hearts of the fair wearers for long
time in it's embrace, and even contrl yes to
Tue pTeSeub 0dy, huutl bHe naino vi oaao
and who can blame it's pertinacity The
corset found favor in the eyes oi Louis
XIV. In the following reign the corset
WAS threatened with Punishment from the
toilet. Fashion took simple and rural
turn. and was almost guided by the taste
of Boucher, in whose pictures many OF the
court celebrities figure as shepherds and
shepherdesses. But the painter departed,
and fashion returned to the pfim eccen
tricities of former times. During the
revolution the corset was again forgotten,
and under the Directory it was completely
interdicted by the fashionable world. The
bellies of the day took classic turn and
aped the Roman dress-the toga, sandals,
etc. The Empire dethroned the classic
fashion, but without taking the corset in
favor. High waists were in favor, and Ia
mode reveled in taste certainly the re-
verse of prudery. With the fall of the
Empire also fell the waist, and then came
also, as NECESSITY, the return of the cor
set.

A Friendly Father.

The stern parent, so much dreaded by
young and spoony serenaders, is not always
such ferecious monster as he is generally
represented. Three young gentlemen. ac-
companied by guitar, began singing sweet
" under the window of favored one, the
other evening, when dark object was seen
to issue from the corner Of the house. It
moved slowly and cautiously, and seemed
to be armed. They were too much devoted
to the art to break off III the middle of the
strain which they were in at the time, so
they held the fort trembling till it was fin
ished, and then prepared to decamp hastily.
This was interrupted, however, by the mo-
tion of the aforesaid object. who, now be-
ing near enough to be seen more clearly,
beckoned to them frantically, and whisper
ed !: I Hold on boys, don't be frade it's
me. = And sure enough it was him, the
father Of the angel they had called to sere-
made. He beckoned 10 the party to follow.
him around the side of the house, where he
explained matters as well as he could under
the circumstances.
I've been out little tonight said he,
and I'm tryin' to get in the house without
bein' heard

Judge -, of the - judicial District

victed felon to be sentenced. The oppor-
tunity to improve the occasion was not to
be lost, and so, after the usual demand for
reason why the sentence should not be pro-
nounced, his Honor, slowly and with genu-
inc feeling, addressed the prisoner:
"My poor fellow, you are about to 60 to

A Ghastly Tailsman.

Thomas Cant, colored, was last evening
brought into the Western station house on
the charge of assault and battery. Before
taking him to the cell he was, as is the Gus
tom, searched for weapons, offensive and
defensive. From the depths of his capa-
cious pockets was brought forth small
parcel neatly wrapped in piece of silk.
When opened, a fnger which had once be-
longed to human hand was exposed to
view. It had evidently been preserved by
preparation of creosote, was hard and
dry, and the nail still adhered to it. He
explained that 1t was dead mans finger,
and that he carried it for "luck - that he
paid Julia Maddox, a negress fortune-teller,
five dollars for it more than year ago. At
the time he purchased 1t. he was out of en-
ployment, but soon after obtained work,
and attributed his good fortune to the pos
session of the dead mans finger. The
woman, Julia Maddox, laundress, resides
on South Howard, near Lee street, and
among her customers are several medical
students, through whom, Cant thinks, she
obtains The dead mems fingers, which she
sells to the credulous of her race.-Balta-
