WHAT A CATAMARAN Is.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR; catamaran was launched on this river
to-day and our dictionaries fail to tell us what
catamaran is.
We know tits wonderful boat, and we want to
know more-i. e., how when and where the first
catamaran was made. who made it, why he called

Upon these all freight and coal is ghtered to and

The "catamaran launched at Nyack Is simply

by Commodore VOorhis 10 run on the Hudson
River between Eyack and New-York, and to carry
passengers only. The two hulls are each about 200
feet long, and are placed parallel to each
other several feet apart. Upon these are
constructed a cabin or. saloon for passen-

"CLASS OF 1880"

The High School commencement
which took place in the Methodist
church last Friday evening was avery
pleasant affair. Some Of the essays
were notably good, others not above
the average; but they were all SO well
read that to criticise justly is of neces.
sity to commend. The orations were
both good, we'll delivered and heartily
applauded. We do not deem it advis-
able to individualize, otherwise we
should call attention to some of the
points and fancies presented by the
different essayists. We were struck,
however, with the similarity Of
thought running through nearly all of
the productions, and generally culmin-
ating in the idea of the "beautiful in
nature" as teacher, harmOnizer, an
irresistible power. One young lady
had something to say about "moral
goodness" but very properly omitted to
draw a comparison between that kind
and the immoral variety. AS intimat-
ed above, the essays were read in clear
and distinct tones, and every word
spoken was easily understood in all
parts of the house. Perhaps the
weakest voice Of the evening was that
of Supt. Hayes; but his remarks were
most excellent.
Of all the exercises, the presentation
of ten dollars to "little Miss Button"
bv the President of the School Board,
Mr.. Sinclair, was the most pleasing.
Miss Button, by decision of the teach
ers was entitled to the prize for having
excelled all other pupils in the amount
of progress made in study during the
year.
The music furnished by the orches-
ira, by Misses Brown, Hale, Stryker,
and Runals and by Mr.. Edwards and
the Arion Club, was good and appro-
pirate. The decorations were in ex-
cellent taste.

THE PARK.

When the fence around the park is
no more, it is to be hoped that steps
will be taken to beautify this spot by
a little judicious grading. The earth
needed for the purpose can be taken
from the lowest portion of the park,
making an excavation two to four feet
in depth, and the waste from mains of
the artesian we'll can be turned in.
thus making a most beautiful little
lake, extending from north to south
nearly the whole length of the present
enclosure. This lake, set among the
trees, a rustic bridge or two, a
fountain, neat walks and closely
cropped grass, would render this the
most beautiful park in Wisconsin; and
the whole cost of the improvement
would be trifing. An outlet for the
main on Chicago street is very mucE
needed, and nothing better can be de

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCE
MENT.

The commencement exercises of the
Kenosha High school took place at the
M. E. church last Friday evening. The
churchl was packed to overlooking,
and the exercises were unusually IN
teresting and entertaining. The fol-
lowing is the programme for the
occasion:
Overture, Social Amateur Orchestra
Invocation, Rev. F. w. Tompkins;
Vocal duet, Misses Hale and Stryker;
Salutatory and essay, "The sunniest
things throw sternest shade Cora
Caverno; Essay, "The education of
girls" Ella George; Instrumental solo,
Miss Mamie Brown; Grafton, Science
and Literature" Louis Kinney; Essay,
burdens we'll bear as birds their
wings" Ada Grant; Vocal solo, A. S.
Edwards; Grafton, "True wealth., .
Frank Leonard; Valedictory, What
is gone and what is left" Maude Mil
Ter; Quartette, Vocalizations, Arion
Club Presentation of diplomas by
Supt. of Public Schools; Vocal solo,
Miss Lily Runals; Benediction, Rev.
J. L. Hewitt.
The graduating class consisted of
Misses Caverno, George, Grant and
Miller, and NIessrs. Kinney and Leon
ard, referred to in programme. They
all acquitted themselves SO well that
it would be difficult to make any dis
tinguishing criticism. The essays and
orations were full Of beautiful
thoughts finely expressed, and reflected
great credit upon the several writers
as we'll as upon the High School itself
The music volunteered for the occa.
sion was exceedingly fine, and well re-
ceived. The duet by Misses Hale and
Stryker was in good taste, and exceed
ingly we'll rendered. The instrument
al solosby Miss Brown was we'll select
ed and exceedingly we'll executed, and
the vocal solo by Miss Runals was
simply beautiful. The singing by the
Arion Club and Mr.. A. S. Edwards
was also fine and well received.
The floral tributes were profuse anC
we'll merited by the members of the
graduating class. A pleasant episode
of the occasion was the presentation
of a prize $4,000 by A. G. Sinclair
, President of the Board of Education
to the scholar who had made the mos
Improvement during the year. On thu
recommendation of the teachers Thu

OUR WASHINGTON LETTERS.
WASHINGTON, June 25th. 1880

In the nomination of General Han
cock by the Democratic convention for
president they expect, by his loyal
course throughout the rebellion, that
the country will forget the uniform of
the Democratic party since the election
OF President Buchanan, also their
coursel at the extra session of Congress
in refusing to make the necessary ap-
preparations for carrying on the United
States Courts. They are in hopes by
taking the loyal General Hancock as
their standard bearer that their disloy-
al course for the last quarter of a cen
tury may be lost sight of and for
gotten.
General Hancock undoubtedly owes
his nomination to the course pursued
by him in 1868 when President John
son placed him in command of the de-
partment Of the gulf, which embraced
the state of Louisiana and Texas.
The National Republican says

Democrats have been in the habit OF
referring to the hanging of Mrs. Sur
raft when speaking of the claims of
Garfield as a presidential candidate.
But now they are silent-silent as the
grave. What has happened? 1t can't
be-oh, no-the democrats at Cincin-
natl did not, certainly they did not
it is impossible; it is preposterous.
Democrats never do anything of that
kind.

drain to regulate the hight of water

mer, and the ice in the winter would

front.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-07-02

Democrats continue to assert that
Garfield was salary grabber." The
assertion is absolutely false. Garfield
opposed the Salary Grab Bill from first
to last, and when it was passed, he was
the second man on the list to return
his back pay to the U. S. Treasury.
But Democrats must say something
Bnd reiteration of this charge is as
harmless as anything they can do. We
make this little contradiction, simply
to encourage them to persevere.

We were present at the graduation
of the High school class last Friday
evening, and were painfully conscious
of the fact all the time. But then we
had better opportunity for seeing
what was going on in front. We wish
to remark right here, however, that
the next time we vacate our seat for a
lady we shall make motion to stay
all further proceedings until the court
esy be acknowledged; particularly if
it be probable that we shall have to
stand for two mortal hours afterward.
