EVERYONE IS UNSETTLED
No Way Yet Seen Out Of the
Financial Difficulty.

Repu ublicans Sorry They Undertook to

Were Out-No Remed iaI LcgiSla
tion Can BE- PaSsed-Gold Men VIII
Not Agree 10 Demands of Silverit es.

Republican Senators now wish they
hadn't.
They have started in to organize the
senate and can't drop it. They want To
bad enough.
Ii anything should happen next week TO
force the Democrats To- remain in possession
OF the Senate tie Republicans would be
most happy. They are praying for il, but
Will their prayers be heard?
The silver men are in the asccndency.
They have a vote in the Senate fifty
strong. That is what makes the leaders
tired. The House IS all right, but the
Senate is all wrong.
DEMOCRATS TICKLED.
The Democrats are enjoying the situa-
tion immensely. They are aLding little
spice to the situation by delaying action on
filling the committees. They must have
time.
1t can scarcely be hoped that an organiza-
ton can he effected next week. The Demo
Gratis are moving very slowly in aking
their selections. II may be TIE first of the
following week before they make them
known. Then they Will let matters take
their course.
That is where all the trouble comes. The
sound money Republicans do not want the
silver men to rush thirgs ana fix all 10
suit themselves. They would rather the
true since the last message of the President.
1t seems next to impossible that any
thing can be done 10 relieve the situation.
The silver men Will not permit any legisla-
ton to pass the Senate which does not
contain a silver rider. They see their
chance and mean to seize it,
compromise is already being talked
of, but it will most likely fail. The gold
men are determined not TO give in, neither
VIII the silver men, so there is a dead
lock The President, too, has his views
which on some questions are at variance
with Congress.
The Republican plan to raise money is
by Increasing the custom duties. Some of
them favor levying additional internal
Revenues. especially in this crisis. Some
Democrats join them in this. But the
trouble lies in the fact that no bill can go
through the Senate unless silver men vote |
Tor IT. Silver men viii not vote for il
unless silver is recognized.
NO USE TO KICK.
II is thought now that Congress will
stay IN session. II all depends on the action 4
OF the House. The matter is with them

We can't kick if we pass a resolution |

The Monroe Doctrine.

I'm the Yankee to whip all creation,
And own all creation also;
II rivals should seek explanation,
I'll tip them the name of Monroe;
III tip them the name of Monroe,
The doctrine called after Monroe:
And 'tisn't surprising that l should keep
rising
Whilst holding that doctrine Monroei
or the universe III be director,
That's quite i'm accord with Monroe;
And if there's no room for the others,
The others. of course, have tn go.
When tip them the name of Monroe.
The doctrine named after Monroe;
Tho to them abhorrent, with me it is cur
rent,
Then hurrah for old snap-up Monroe,
From the Presidents chair it was stated
Like rooster, our eagle viii crow;
And if lesser fowl kick up shindies,
Wen tip 'em the name of Monroe.
The macnanimous name of Monroe,
The doctrine named after Monroe;
Ger the worldwide dominions a-waving
its pinions
Our eagle will squeal-for Monroe,
Thus I'll blow myself out, and my fiXings
From ocean to ocean shall go,
And from pole to pole, also; a II hemispIeres
Pan out for ne-ask Monroe!
Ask Octopus Monroe!
The doctrine-inIprovcd-o Monroe!
Some folks think this way hard, butt shall
tell Bayard
To stick to the text of Monroel
Our anba ssador must be-in London
smart, go-ahead plenipo,
And, if Salisbury does cut up didos,
Must tip him the name OF Monroe;
Explain to him Mr.. Monroe,
And the doctrine called after Monroe.
Then, il things look squiffy, back down in
Jiffy,
And drop-for the present-Monroe!

application with talent has become an
artist of much merit.
"a Piece of Red Calico" was recited
by Miss Frances Smith. The selection
Is a very difficult one, there being
many characters involved, but Miss
Smiths powers of imitation were equal
TO the demands of the selection, and
the voice of the audience, expressed in
applause, was that her talent was
exhibited with great credit to herself,
her teacher and her college.
Miss Elva Stapp recited ..Virginia,''
a piece written by Amelia Rives, and
one which required much pathos in its
execution. The audience was enrap-
tured with the manner, conception and
execution of Virginia.
After this selection, Misses Elva
Stapp, Grace knight and Minnie Mar
lowe sang a trio, 1.-THE Mariners" 1t
was a beautiful song and was so fault
lessly rendered that prolonged applause
followed it. These three voices, as
they were mirrored in the singing,
blended in sweet accord, which made
the number dOubly pleasing.
"'Rosalind," from ssAs You Like It,"
was the subject of Miss Mae Elston's
recitation. 1t would be impossible to
find any selection IN Shakespears's
writing that is not difficult, and il
would be hard to find any that is as
difficult of execution as this one, but
Miss Els.on possesses q marked degree
OF talent, and the audience would bear
us out in the statement that ''Rosalind"
was faultlessly recited.
Miss Daisy Corpenny recited "a sketch
from ''Scott's Kenllworth." Her easy
and graceful n ON the stage,
combined with an excellent voice and
beautiful gestures, and a clear cOncep-
ton of her piece, made her number
one of the most pleasing on the pro-
gram.
"Courtship Under Difficulties" was
rendered by Miss Laura Balthis, a
pleasing elocutionist, who has often
delighted the friends of Central with
exhibitions of rare art. Her selection
was humorous in its composition, and
under the expression of Miss Balthis
III the huiiioi WAS DTougnt Out.
Miss Minnie Marlowe sang IA solo
entitled s.Mono.n She showed careful
training and much talent in her sing
ing. The audience demonstrated their
appreciation by vigorous applause.
"Mary Alice Smith" was the seleo-
ton recited by the charming elocutionist
Miss Rotha Hyner. Her gestures were
graceful and her voice sweetly modu-
lated. Her effort left a fine impression
on her audience.

C~HAUTAUOUA SERMON.

1t was announced Sunday morning that
the subject for Bishop Vincent's Sunday
evening discourse ould be ''Chautau-
qua Work" 1t would haye made no
difference what his subject was, the house
would have been full. He can preach
with a text or without one. The COM
mon, everyday things Of life furnish him
a dozen texts a day. At 8 o'clock the
room was jammed, and many went away
who could not get into the room.
At 8 O'Clock services were begun by
singing hymn No. 697, "Come, Oh God of
Grace" followed by Rev. w. /. Cole,
pastor of the Baptist church. An anthem
was then sung, and the speaker read his
lesson from OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in the
Lord always; again | say unto you, re-
~joice.' This was ollowed by that good
old song, GLOW Firm Il Foundation"
Bishop Vincent began his sermon by a
description OF C~hautauqua Lake, saying il
is 700 feet above Lake Erie and 400 feet
above the Atlantic. II is the most beau
liiui lake in America; it IL Il summer
resort. People need rest. but he rests best

her impersoHation of Topsy was superb.

favorite in Lexington, and she never

Miss Anna Groves in a very creditable
way. The piece was very difficult yet

ed Il very generous encore.

RESOLUTIONS.
We, the members of the Board of
CuratOrs of Central Female College,
present at the annual meeting, on June
lth, 1873. note with great pleasure the
remarkable evidences of the increased
and continually growing prosperity of
this institution. The attendance of
pupils has increased until the buildings
are now absolutely filled ; and u larger
number than We now have could not be
received. The standard of scholarship
has been elevated, and the requirements
for graduation increased, until we feel
able to claim that our work is superior
to that of most colleges for young
women in the South and West aud we
challenge compaIlson with any other
institution of ike equipment in the
West.
The members of the Board of Cura-
tors feel under ubligatinus ia say that
the remarkable advancement in the
character Of work done in the school,
and the INCREASED prosperity of it, are
due i'll principal measure To the energy

little of it, and thought it a great bore.
The man read nearly two books in forty
m%inutesi he enjoyed it very much, and
remembered nearly all Of it. Heading by
parents makes better boys aud better
girls for the schools; it makes better
homes, more sunlight, more room, and
better things. He thought he would like
to live twenty. five or thirty or forty
years to see what Christian civilization
will do for this old world. The advance
of science aud literature in the next
twenty-five years will be wonderful.
Stand ye in the current which moves
toward righteousness.
At the close OF the eloquent and inter-
esting discourse, Bishop Vincent offered a
short prayer. A pretty duet was sung by
the choir, aud the audience dismissed by
Rev. A. $. Moffett, pastor OF the Presby-
terrain church. The large audience main
tanned u death like silence during the
whole discourse, and wgnt boipe with

RECITAL.

The annual recital of the class in
expression occurred at the opera house
on Monday evening. A large audience
anticipating a rare entertainment was
present, and enjoyed a most excellent
program.
The department of expression at
Central is under the direction of Miss
Eva Hamilton, whose success with
those under her charge has been re-
markahly satisfactory to all the friends
of the institution.
Miss Hamilton has brought to her
profession the talent of Il good voice,
fine expression, easy and graceful man
ner, and the characteristics of a success
full teacher. The class on Monday
evening bore abundant testimony Ia
the fact that it had received its train
ing from correct sources.
The entertainment was opened with
prayer by Rev. Mr.. McNIurry, after
! which Miss Matte Catron, of this city,
favored the audience with a beautifully
executed solo. s.Polonaise No. l." by
Chopin. Miss CatrOn has taken ad.
