above troupe could afford TO dispense
with some of the unchaste features
which still characterize it. A minstrel

that they will keep on until theil

other companies in this special field

The Normal social.

We think it is not too much TO say
that the Dickens social at the Normal,
of which u report will be found else
where in this paper, was probably the
most successful affair OF the kind ever
given at that institution. The Temporal
ry failure of the gas IN the early part
of the evening caused not little annoy
ance and embarrassment, but this was
more than atoned for by the subsequent
effnlgence which not only PROCEEDED
from the burners but which was radia-
ted from the faces of the audience when
MIcawber, the Cheerab!es, Sairy Camp,
Betsey Trotwood, Sam Weller, Pick
wick, Mrs. Bardell and host of other
familiar characters which will liye in
the popular heart as long as the spirit
of human phIlanthrophy and the fame
| of Charles Dickens endure, filed into the
assembly room and promenaded
through the aIsles. The costumes were
devised with exceeding fidelity to the
ideals of the great novelist, and it was
comparatively little trouble Tor the low
er of his works to single out many fav.
orite characters in the picturesque CON-
pany.
The PRESERVATION of Madam farley, by
Miss NJ. P. Spencer, was the grandest
triumph of the evening, and the success
full accomplishment of her part of the pro.
gram spoke eloquently for the fertile re-
sources of that ready lady. Her elocu-
tionary performances were greatly az
preciated and gave evidence of high
i order of talent
Governor Click, who was present,
favored the audience with briet
but timely address, in which he congrat
ulated the citizens of Emporia upon the
location of the Normal at this place anC
refeIed to the successful efforts of Oul
townsman, Gov. Eskridge, in this direc
ton Speeches were also made by Hon
Isaac Sharpe, of Council Grove, and
State Superintendent Speer, after which
general social followed, which lasteC

and the Clay Center Dispatch band
furnished some good music, which was
greatly enjoyed by all. In pursuance
of the suggestion of Mayor Warren,
quite a number of the business houses

the way of decoration.
