During the last week the proposed
course OF entertainments to be held this
coming season in Elkton under the aus
pices of the Young Peoples Society of
the Presbyterian church has been revised
somewhat and made better by the revi-
sion. 1t is hoped that the public will see
the superior excellence of the entertain
ments. and subscribe at once tor season
tickets. Not halt enough subscriptions
have yet been given to warrant the un
dertaking. The course as revised is as
follows:
l. A humorous lecture by ~ IN Boyle
the advocate of good humor, subject:
THE Use and Abuse of Humor" He
created quite sensation at Chatauqua
last season, and is highly recommended
by Rev. DR.. J. II. Vincent. Chancellor of
the Ghatauqua University, aud the sec
retaries of the y. NJ. &. \. of Boston,
Philadelphia. New York, Brooklyn and
entertainments he has appeared. Rev.
r. b. Montgomery, of Brooklyn, says:
Your entertainment Was of high order,
amusing and educating-proving how
possible it is to have an evenings fun
without anything offensive to the most
refined. The unanimous opinion was
that Van Boyle would draw immensely

who now enter upon their fourth season
with the prestige of past success. They
will furnish programme of solos, duets.
trios and quartettts. Miss Clendenning's
readings are of an admirable character.
She appeared in the Associat ion Course
at Philadelphia last season. The secre-
tary of the association writes: Miss
Clendenning achieved most gratifying
success in the association course this
season, the opinion being general that
her place is in the first rank of elocution-
lists. She is equally effective in the dra
matte, heroic and humorous.
3. An illuminated lecture by G. +.
Baltou, the well known traveller and lee
turer: subject: "B autiful Switzerland,
with over sixty brilliant sterioptican
views, many of them colored. Mr.. Boil

Persons who have passed by the Maryland In
stitute lately have been struck by the TRANSFORMER
ton in the appearance Of the building produced
by the repainting of the entire structure in at
tractive and tasteful colIrs. One OF the officials
of the Institute stated to NerS reporter that the
renovation of the building was accomplished ~
means of the Appropriation recently made by tie
Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. The work
done under the personal supervision and ti-
rection OF Mr. Theodore Oster. inspector of build
ing. and only the very best Material was used
Tne paint used that manufactured by the
New Jersey Enamel Paint Company the excel
lence of which has become known to the public
through the fact that it has been also used upon
the american and Sun buildings. Ford's Grand
Opera House, the Carrollton and MANY other
conspicuous structures. Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several of
the directors to this paint when the appropri-
alton was made. He was at FIRST dsinclined To
acquieSce IN the suggestion. owing to the fact
that he did not believe in ready-mixed paints
His opposition arose from the fact that he had en-
perienced the worthessness of many articles nut
upon the market under the name OF ready-miXed
paints, some OF which were limitations Of the ar
ticle suggested by the Institute officials and none
of which satisfactory to a gentleman so
thoroughly capable OF Judging the excellence OF
paint AS Mr.. tSter. When. however. his atten-
ton had been called 40 the buildings mentioned
above. and he had seeen a practical demOnstra-
ton of the qualities OF this paint. he consented,
with his usual courtesy. to the wish of those 40
had argued him 10 use the article. and the resu
has more than "q'Idled the anticipatiOns OF thus
who had argud the use OF this paint.
MIR. &. L. Knight. ~ Vest Lombard street. who
is the general agent here stated to IA NeGs re-
porter that he had been selling the paint since
ISL, and that in not SINGLE instance had it tail
ed it give satisfaction to his customers. He also
stated that sample cards showing the different
cOlOrs were furnished gratis. on application to
him by mail or in person. The numerous large
buildings upon which the paint has been used
are ample guarantee of its exceptional crit, and

MARSHALL, TEX, Oct. 2S.--At 1880 D.
m. DR.. Cochran, Republican candidate for
governor of Texas, addressed from the
north courthouse steps 800 freedmen and
fifty white citizens. He spoke for two
hours, and encouraged Republicans to re-
duce the Democratic majority and compel
the Democrats TO give the people better
state government, II they could do nothing
more. He encouraged his Republican
friends In this good work by referring to
the fact that In Massachusetts,, Pennsyl.
vania, Michigan and bloody Kansas,
which ell once gave very large Demo-
cratic maiorities, by the organized
efforts OF the Republican party these
majoritIes had been not only reduced, but
Republican majoritieS secured. The doc
tor reviewed the monopolies with which
he said Texas was heney-combed. He
discussed watered stock in railroads and
corporations. He said he bought some
in the Dallas bridge and sold II for
profit. He severely criticised the judicial
system OF Texas, aud said II was In the
interest Of the rich and against the poor
and laboring classes. The doctor said
his father was good Democrat. His
brother and most Of his friends were
Democrats, and he was the only white
sheep In the fiock. The doctor admitted
that the Republicans had done many
wrong acts, and that there were many
bad men among them. but he said II the
Democratic party in Texas would just step
down and out these Republicans would
give them good state government once
more. He censured the lease law and
the capitol syndicate. He favored the
change d the seven millions OF state
bonds given to railroads into the land
grant. He favored the unlimited coinage
ofsilver, the Blair educational bill, the
Morrison surplus bill and high-prcteotiye
tariff. He severely reproached the Re-
publican party for giving large sums 20
high military officials and their families
He was In favor OF small pensions to
soldiers. He said there was too much
big man In cur government. He bitterly
denounced the state government for
working conVicts out OF the penitentiary
in competition with honest labor. He
opposed Chinese immigration, and would
build a high wall between China
and America II he had the power. lie
had said II he was not elected he would
run the Democratic majority so close
that the party would give the people a
better government. at the close OF his
speech Mr.. Dave MePhai, one Of our
well-known citizens, shook hands with
the doctor and Indicated his conversion
70 Republican politics, and proffered 10 !
give him good audience at Needman's |
hall AZ 80, and further asked the doctor
Z be had a spare 10 cents. The doctor
replied he had a quarter, which he handed
ID Mr.. McPhail, which produced perfect

Of speeches to be made In Cass before the

great truths and doctrines OF the Demo-
cratic party, and brought back many So
called "Independent Democrats" TO the
fold. He said there were two classea ar
rayed against the Democratic party.
These clnsses pre so-called Democrats
and Republicans The former claim
that the Democrats have made
no effort 70 relieve the burdens heaped
upon the shoulders Of the laborlng men
by All Ubiquitous tariff. Tho latter say
that the Democrats have fought the tariff
and class legislation, and yet both these
classes ight the Democrats as a common
enemy IL eioquently referred 10 the
fact that third parties had endeayored TO
destroy the Democratic party, but thanks
be TO the eternal principles upon which IL
Is founded, they have glOriously failed.
There have never been, ~ he said, "but
two great parties In American The diff
fercnces Of these two parties are organic
and structural. The Republicans believe
IN strong centralized govern
ment and class legislation. The
Democrats believe such Legislation
