have reference to the gentlemen who imme-
diately after the sermons rise, draw out the
table and begin yelling and saying funny 2
things to the Congregation to get their
money. After the minister has spent his
time In trying to impress the people with
some one solemn fact, they get up and by
their noise, unnecessary talk etc., spoi
what ever effect the ministers sermon has
had upon the people. There is no need oi
half the fuss they make and it is almost
time that our Reverends begin to see this,
for there is no doubt but that the Congrega.
tions have in the most part.
The Leader was late last week.
Things are quiet this week.
There Seems to be rumor of another wed

LITER RARY.

There was very pleasant time at the
drop" last Monday night, and the large
crowd of ladies and gentlemen assembled
seemed to be filled with the spirit of the oc-
casion full and overAowing. A very pretty
gem of the evening was the ballad, kiss
me goodnight mother sung by Miss Dula
Manson, in very pleasing manner.
The subject of discussion-Resolved, 'that
the pen is mightier than the sword" was
handled in a spirited manner by Messrs.
Wood and Sweeney. But the crowning fea-
ture of the evenings gayities was the
"ancient supper given in the lecture room
of the Tabernacle by several of the lady
friends Of the Church, under the manage
ment of Miss Leah Smith, late oil Cincin-
natl. And remembering it now, it was in
deed an ancient affair, the attendants arrayed
in the costumes of a century ago seemed
quaint and odd enough, q picture living real
and speaking of our grandfather's days.
Miss Smith, since her arrival in cur city,
has made hosts of friends, and is proving
herself valuable acquisition to Indianapo-
lis society.
THE old time merry making festival
which will be given by the friends and men,
bers of Jones' Tabernacle at the Second
Baptist Church, on the evening of the 10th
and 11th of May, is looked forward to with
a great deal of sanguine anticipation by the
pleasure loving denizens OF the Capitol, as
it has become generally known that the
Blackford street people do nothing by halves
The prevailing dress of the evening will be
of ''ye olden time," the gentlemen in knee
pants and buckle shoes, and three-cornered
hst and powdered wig, while the gentle
maidens will appear in sky-scraping bon.
nets, bombazine frocks, snuff box and work.
bag, just too old.fashioned for any use
cub cose" we will be there. The lady
whose dress will be declared the most
ancient, will be presented handsome rock
ing-chair, the gentleman a box Of cigars
The presents the second night will consist
of valuable dress pattern and cane. The
person who sells the largest number o
tickets over ten will be presented sill
dress pattern. 1t is unnecessary to remarl
that, as the prizes are all valuable, man.
and great efforts will be made to obtaiI
them. The programme at t g "Drop" mex
Monday night will consist of recitation b.
Major Lewis; ballad, "My heart is almos
broken" by Miss 5. johnson, and debat
between Messrs. Hill and Early.

Elopiup With a $500. 900 Bride.

Miss Jessie Kimball. Laughter of Sarah NJ.
Kimoall, wealthy widow residing in Cleve-
land, O., was married in Detroit ON Saturday
last to Will III. Hayes. The bride will be
eighteen years of age on Saturday next, and
on that day will come into possession of $780,
600 left her by her father. The mother is in
Europe, and Miss Jessie has been keeping
house with only servants for companions
Some days ago she went to Detroit to visit
friends On Thursday of last week Mr..
Hayes followed. Saturday forenoon the
young couple started out from her friends
residence ostensbly for ride. Before they
returned, however they visited Rev. Mr..
Bayley's residence, taking advantage OF the
Michigan marriage laws, which require no
license. and were married. They returned
in time for dinner and later in the day left
for Cleveland, saying nothing about what
had occurred. Mr.. Hayes had been paying
attention to Miss kimball for year past,
but the marriage was decided upon the i'm
pulse of the moment The bride has spent
several years in Paris and London, and has
ACQUIRED by her travel and study a variety
of accomplishments that have made her
leader in society. The groom, who is also
minor, is popular young gentleman, and
is holding good position in his fathers en-
ploy.

Heredity of Beauty.
[Cornhill Magazine. |


Mr.. Darwin believes that the general
beauty of the English upper class, and es-
pecially that of the titled aristocracy, is
probably due to their constant selection of
the most beautiful women of ali classes
(peereses, actresses, or wealthy bourgeoise)
as wives, through an immense number of
generations. The regular features and COM
plexions of the mothers are naturally hand
ed down by heridity 10 their descenGents.
Similarly, it would seem that we must ac-
count for the high average of personal
beauty among the ancient Greeks and mod
ern Italians by the high average of general
taste, the strong love of the beautiful diff
fused among all classes in both those races.
The prettier women and the handsomer
men would stand better chance of marry
ing other things equal, and of handing
down their refined type and figure to their
children. If this be so-the evolutionisst
at least, can hardly doubtit-then we should
expect everywhere to find the general level
of personal beauty highest where there was
the widest diffusion of aesthetic taste. Now,
our own .squalid poor are noticeable, as
rule, for their absolute and repulsive ugli-
ness, even when compared with those OF
European countries. Gaunt. hard-faced
women, low-browed, bulldog looking men,
shapeless children. people the back slums of
our manufacturing towns. Their painful
ugliness can not all be due to their physical
circumstances alone-for the lazzsroni who
hang about the streets OF Naples must lead
lives of about equal hardship and discom-
fort-yet many of them, both men and
women, are beautiful enough to sit as mod
els for Leonardo. On the other hand, ev-
cry traveller speaks of the beauty and grace
fulness displayed by the young and old
among the aesthetic Polynesians; while in
in manv like cases note that Europeans
