HAPPY CHILDREN
III Every Conceivable Style OF Fancy Co.'S
tune Mt NInrini's Hall.

The bal d'enfants costume given to the
class Of 's2-'S3 by Prof. Marini at his dancing
academy last night attracted a large number
of fashionable people. The grand march was
participated in by about one hundred chill
dren all in costume, presenting q very pretty
sight. They glided through the various fig
ures of the dance with grace and precision. The
dance card contained fifteen selected dances,
and the following fancy dances were well ex-
eouted by pupils of the class: Cracovienne,
Miss Jnlia Edwards and Miss Hattie Eskew ;
Irish tilt, Adele Dyer; Highland fling, Mas.
ter Johnnie and Algie McGiloray; madrillon,
Miss Daisy Dyer; Tyrolicnne, Miss Nellie
Gibson; Ia bayadere, Miss Hattie Eskew;
el bolero Miss Hattie Woods; sylphide, Flora
Cook.
Some of the costumes were costly and elab-
crate, the mothers of the children having
seemingly striven, and in many cases success
fully, to originate something novel. Beside
the traditional characters many new ones
were presented. One young gentleman of six
wore complete evening dress, and was the
unconscious envy of the other young gentle
men. Among those in costume We're:
Master John McGllyray Highlander; Miss Agic

article 4, section 4, of the constitution, and
implicitly by the inherent right Of every
government TO preserve its existence. This
existence was threatened by this growing
mass of ignorance.
Col. Pickett, of Kentucky, followed Judge
Lawrence in an argument denying the right
of the government to tresspass ON the vested
rights of the states, but agreeing in its power
to extend aid 10 the educational institutions
of the states. He condemned the Blair and
approved the Sherman bill giving aid to the

Lecture by Rev. A. II. Mayo.

The third and last lecture before the pupils
of the Miner normal schools and the teachers
of the public schools took place last night at
the Sumner school building Tho largo hall
was well filled. The theme of the lecture was
"Study and Work" The speaker commenced
by saying that having previously spoken on
the Training Oft the Character" " and "Train-
ing of the Mind" he would show the relation
between study and work, and how the teacher
could govern her school. Laziness was II sin,
and the first duty OF the teacher was to
impress upon the minds of the pupils that
labor was honorable and that they
should respect labor; that labor was the badge
of nobility. Parents could aid the
teacher by impressing upon the child that
skilled labor required brains to assist hands,
and that the two combined made up an in
dustrious, intellectual manhood. He advised
the teachers to impress their pupils by draw
ing from them their knowledge, not by lee
turing them. He spoke of the Importance of
permitting the pupils to do their own thinking
and not, as was too often tho case, throw II
thin ray of knowledge dripping over them,
and palm that of on the unthinking rs cduca-
tiOn. He describes model school room and
the Importance of making it attractive. He
threw out many interesting and practical
suggestions. At the conclusion of the lecture,
on motion of Trustee johnson, n rising vote
of thanks was rendered DR.. Draper, very
one in the large audience joining in the
expression thus offered.
