Sells Brothers and Barrett.

Our columns to-day conspicu-
ously display the advertisements
Of this remarkable amusement
coalition, whose speedy coming
they announce. We use the ex-
preston, remarkable amuse-
ment coalition" advisedly, for we
know of no travelling exhibltional
enterprise which presents SO many
acceptable phases of attraction.
1t is scarcely necessary to say to
amusement patrons that for eigh-
teen years the Sells Brothers have
been noted as having an eques-
train, geological and hippodromat-
ic entertainment everywhere
recognized as being at the head
and front among reputable tented
exhibitions. Mr.. s. 81. Barrett
also has been not whit behind
the Sells Brothers in catering to
the amusement of the populace.
The circumstances that these two
formidable shows have joined
their forces, aud the two exhibi-
billions being consolidated entire
ty, at once and effectually places
this organization, in point Of
magnitude and attraction, head
and shoulders above al compeers,
and enables the joint management
to offer the best hippodromatic,
equestrian, gymnic and zoologi-
cal exhibition in America. Th. g
exhibition is advertised to be here

The Graphic Criticised.

ED. GRAPHIc:-I notice in your
paper of the 9th ult a criticism
on the Board of Regents of the
Normal school, at this place, for
asking Prof. Blanton to resign his
position as president of the school
which criticism, [ think, is a little
unjust to a part of the Regents,
viz: those who did not vote for
Prof. Blanton year ago. They,
not thinking him the proper man
for the place, could with perfect
consistency ask him to resign.
But it does certainly seem to me
that the members of the Board,
who elected Blanton then, are
inconsistent in asking him to re-
sign now, when he is certainly no
worse at the present time than he
was year ago, and thay knew him
quite as we'll then as they do now.
The truth is, in my humble
opinion, that the ring manage
lnent and bossism that has domi-
mated this school for the last fit
teen years, elected Blanton year
ago, because the head boss | al
lude to Judge Andrew Ellison)
was afraid of Blanton's political
influence, and the only reason he
asks him to resign now is because
Blanton dared to run for the Office
of State Superintendent of Public
instruction, an Office Ellison did
not want him to have.
If Blanton has done anything
within the last year to bring dis
credit upon the school, charges
should have been preferred and
he removed. But l think it unjust
to Blanton to cast an insinuation
upon him by asking him to re-
sign when the school is iu just as
good condition now as it was a
year ago.
1t is true that our school has
been running down since its pres
ent boss took charge of it fifteen
years ago. 1t has not the attend,
ance now that it had then by near.
Iy two hundred, while both the
other Normal schools of the state
have about doubled their attend.
ance in the same time, showing
conclusively that there must be
something wrong with the manage
ment of this school.
!, But [ protest against their max
ing a Escape goat" of Blanton by
laying the blame all on him. 1t il
true that Blanton has acted will
and been part of the ring man
agement, of this school ever since
he has been connected with it, bu
he is not solely to blame for th'
great falling off in attendance tha
+ began in this school fifteen years
6 ago.

Children's Services.
Greentop, Mo-, july 7th.

Greentop, Mo-, July ith.
The children's service held at
the NJ. E. church in this city on
Sunday was a grand success in
every way. The recitations and
music were both excellent. Much
credit is due Mrs. Reynolds, the
organist, for the very pleasing
manner in which the singing was
conducted. Greentop's choir un-
der the leadership of its able con-
ductor, Mr.. Chas. Wood, added
greatly to the pleasure of the oc-
casion. The two church organiza-
tions here joined 10 make the
time a grand success, and they
succeeded admirably.

Willard, aged II years, 4 months

HIS early death suggests the
very expressive words OF the poet:

And thus, how soon to early nj ght!
We spring, we bud, we blossom and we
blast,
Ere we count our days, our days they flee
