Above Par.

When a boy from the country goes to
Austin and becomes a student at the Uni
versity, he Immediately shueks his country
clothes and blossoms out as a dude. II he
doesn't pile on a great deal of style the
other students boycott him. He is also
expected to associate only with high-class
people-that is. such as wear good clothes.

"the boys are very much di5gusted with
your conduct"
"What have / been doing now?'
@You have not outgoing. around with
that old tramp"
II caa't well get out Of showing him
some little attention while he is in town.
"Why can't you shake him?'

denee that he is my father. Don't give me

s.f;e So Down"

Two Of tie school committeeman Of a
~neighboring town got into q fierce argu-
ment. One said that q man sits down,
while the other was equally sure that he
sets down. Seeing tnat there was no hope
Of coming to al agreement, they decided
10 leave it to the chairman Of the board.
That dignitary heard the arguments ad-
yanced on either side. He then hemmed
three times, swallowed his Adams apple
twice, inflated his chest till he looked like
L potter pigeon, and delivered himself
thus: aGeatlemen, you are both wong.
1ou don't say 4 man SITS down, nor sets
down; you say he sot down. And now let
us 60 On with the examination of appli-
cants for the vacancy in the high school.

those immortal words of

scaffold, singing those immortal words OF
the Marseillaise:
1--WE go, children of the country;
The day of glory has come"
Feebler and feebler became the hymn at
each fall of the axe, until the last Of those
noble souls had passed the mystic veil into
the great unknown.
Scarcely had their heads rolled from the
scafrold when a cloud OF despair settled
DOM upon the city; eyerything-even
hope-seemed to disappear with them.
Paris might have said with L~acaedemon
after the fall OF her youth in batle-"Ihe
county has lost its flower, Liberty has lost
its prestige. The Republic has lost its
spring.
The history Of the Girondists IS full Of
blood and tears. But it is also full d
hope. They enlarged the domain OF
| thought, broke the shackles Of conscience
and won for the nations Of tha earth in
| aiionable rights. Darkness fell back. The
light OF Truth arose, and where all was
want, and crime, and cruelty, and ignorance,
| we see the faces Of the free. We weep tol
their sorrows. but we glory in thar mart

Of all the d~espicable, cowardly traits
of mankind there is none so poisonous,
none so malignant as that which prompts
a person so to become lost to all sense Of
honor and manhood as to write anony
nous letters, tending to reflect upon the
character of another. Small and con.
temptible as is the tale bearer, he is in.
finitely better than the sneak who from
his hiding place in a place of security
places his venemuus fangs in his victims
back. How much untold misery is daily
brought about by this specimen of fiend'
ishness none can tell, but if in q world
beyond this there is such a place as
"sheol, :" the lot of the adder that assails
men and women by anonymous letters
must be cast there forever.

C,ucinuatf vIny Festival.

The Seventh Biennial Musical Festival
which is to take place at Cincinnati in the third
week in May next, viii be the grandest Fes.
tival of the series.
The chorus which, fifteen years ago, was
made up from half a dozen different societies
of members who had never sung together be-
fore, is now a strongly compacted whole, ex-
c~ellently drilled and magnifcently self reliant.
At the last Festival, this great chorus showed
what it could do in purely choral singing. AT
the coming Festival it has an opportunity to
display as well, its versatility in operate mu-
sic.
So carefully and closely has the chorus been
subdivided, in order to fully meet the require
ments of the music to be performed, that the
mems voices are divided not merely into first
and SECOND tenor, and first and second bass,
but each of these classes is further subdivid-
| ed into two classes-frst and second first tenor,
etc.
Berlioz's Faust" and Rubinstein's 6Tower
of Babel' are each so involved in their parts
as to render the above arrangement essential;
but other things equal, the greater the diff
Guilty of the composition, the greater its beauty
and majesty when all its difficulties are mas
tered. and an absolutely smooth performance
assured. ~
Apart from the chorus the two great attrac-
tons, which will bring multitudes ofreople to.
Cincinnati, are the superlatively good ~soIoists,
and the reduced price of tickets.
Lilli Lehman, Helene Hastreiter, William
Candidus, and Myron W. Whitney, make up a
quartette worth a long journey to hear; and
they are supported by such eminent s%oloists as
William Ludwig, Emma Crach, Emma Juch,
Mr.. Stoddard and Mr.. Mockridge.
The price of a season ticket has been reduced
from twelve dollars, in previous years, to ten
dollars on this occasion. The auction sale will
begin on Tuesday, April goth, at ten O'Clock
A. NJ, and seats will be sold to the highest
bidder.
No more than ten seats, for the season, can
be taken on any bid. This has been found o
most necessary rule. r545 a.i i
in the attempt to bring attendance

from all points within 200 miles of Cincinnati,
and special arrangements are provided for
those living at a greater distance. . 'ss5
Everything, then, points a grand gala week
in Cincinnati; when, with their friends from
far and near, the people of the Ohio Valley win
give themselves up to the full enjoyment ola
Festival, the like of which has never been in

mated in a stable adjoining the grocery of John

The Dueber watch case company at
Newport, KY, have advertised for a To-
cation in some town or city within sixty
miles of Cincinnati, and as there is no
town in the State of Ohio that would be-
ter "fll the bilp' required than Eaton,
our citizens should move diligently in
the matter and secure it by all means
We have two excellent vacant tracts of
ground on the east side of our city, either
one of which would just be splendid for
the buildings, and we certainly have
wealth and enterprise enough among our
citizens to raise by subscription, 500, OOO
or $50, 900, as an inducement to have it
located here. The company guarantee
to employ from 500 to 1000 hands and
it would take but a few years until the
donation would be doubly returned to us
in the increase Of population and bust
ness. 1t would double discount any two
railroads into our city, and we trust our
business men and men of means will not
quietly sit down and permit this great
enterprise to slip away from US, sim
ply for the want of a little "sand" ana
liberality on their part. Let us all move
in the matter-and 10 quickly.

Written Speeches in Congress.

There is a form of discussion that
goes on in the House which deserves
due reprobation, writes Congressman
L. B. Reed in the Chautauquan. and
that is the reading OF written speeches.
A vast deal OF time is consumed to
no business purpose. These things
are almost entirely for home con-
sumption. They usually begin Mt the
origin OF human affairs, and are full
to repetition with that kind OF
knowledge which takes it for granted
that the readers mind is blank on
the subject. | say readers, - as ii is
very seldom that this kind OF an ora
ton has any hearers, for when a
member pulls out /, pile o. manu-
script the action, except in rare in
stances, is regarded rs an invitation
their own business, which they inn
mediately proceed with one accord to
do with all their might 1t may be
added as a curious fact in natural
history that many a member who
has passed a whole hour in reading
what nobody has listened to
will begwith pathetic tervor and insist
ancefor another five or ten minutes in
which to render himself hoarse by
reading what he has full liberty to
print. Perhaps it is because, his eyes
filled with his own handwriting, and
his ears soothed and charmed by the
melliiluence OF his own voice. his soul
transcends the unworthy House and
seems to be pouring itself into the ears
OF the whole lepopuiation OF the country,
variously estimated at from 55,O0o,-
900 to 5S,0oo.OOO. Some day or
other the natural historian OF
the race will take philosophlc
cognizance OF this phenomenon, and
to him this solution is timidly but
respectfully offered. But the Con
gressmanis not entirely to be blamed
In fact perhaps he is not to beblamed
at all. 1t is only n supply which
answers demand. The FAULT proba,
bly, lies with the American people who
unreasonably demand that their legis,
lators shall be orators, and shall
prove that they are such by visible
results. If they only realized how
much time was wasted in such efforts
and how little attention was paid to
them. they would measure the virtues
OF their members by other and true1
standards.
