An excarsion train will leave a1 7:30 an Monday, stopping atall stations, arriving ot Elkhart Lako av 10:40, Meoashs at 12:45, and Groon Bay ot 1:30, at half rates, drriv- ing here on the roturn journev at10:20 p. m.

The most delightial 7ele champetre of the sen~ son was undoubtedly that given on the grounds ‘of Mrs. Alexander, f0r the beneflt of the treas- ury of the Industrial Home for juvenile vagrants and ontcasta. The event was remarkable on ac- connt of the number of society paople pres- ent. All fashionable Milwaukee was ihere. The weather waa delicions. Chsrming voung ladies had organized departments of commissariat and eples, and everythiag was sold Before tha' paity troke up. The affair was so delightfpl, there is no doubt others of & similay cliaracter will soon Tollow, now that the weather is bacoming settled, ‘and that garden parties will ‘bacome the rags, ns they were last summer. THS KINLENGANTEN: AND KINDERGAERTENKR. For the information of those who have oftcn ‘heard of but' do not know what the Kinder- garten is, a8 established in the Cream City, I will briefly recount the obaarvations I made at a visit therp yesterday or behalf of the readers of Tex Bexpay TRUse. Miss “Haiboann is the Eindergaertener, or school miss, and she has & “woung isdy sssistant. There xretwo large rooms wused for the children—who are from 3 ta 7 years of age-—one for & class-roam and the other for exercise. In fine weather, exercise can be taken on the lawn outside. The class-room is divided into two_ departments. the work-tables and the group-tables. At the time of my visit, the little 9nes wero sitting nround the former, allof them busy folding squares of papar into shapes of. verious kinds, after figures preparea hy the Kindergaerterer, such 28 animals, birds, apd ingnimate objects. They appeared interssted in the work without exception, and most of them were singing suatches of school sorgs. Two or three were conatantly tumbiing about Miss Hail- mann's chawr, TBYING TO EISS AKD CARESA that very active young lady, and those who conld Dot attain to the privilege eat in their seats and sbowered questions upon her. It was pleasing to e2e that every chidd ap- perred to possoss immenss confidence ia the teacher and love for her, To them her lighteat word was Isw. No need of stiocks and canes abous that establishment. The children are not allowed to work toolong st snyone exercise, and at, the appointed time they were given tho worde “ work inorder,™ “one,” * two,” * threa,"” ‘meaning Tespectively ‘‘ make a heap of your lit-. ter, put it sway neatly,” “ getoff your chair,® “push your chair to the table,” ¥t mareh,” and ran, laughiog aud shouting, {o the play-room, whero tbey had seversl games that they appearod heartily to enjoy. After thaf, they were seated st the group tables, sud en- gazed respectively in labors suitcd to the prog- gress they had made in’their studics, such as modeling with clay, drawmg outlings, making Iettars, learning arithmetic by means of blocks, and o forth. In personal health the children have sbown » vimble improvement since they have atsended school. The most unruly have be- come tractable, Various bLad bhabits bave been eradicated, £nd better Labits learned, Children receive imuressions thatlast a lifetime at the tendercst ages. It is evident that all the impres- sions they have received at the Kindergarten . amst tend £o their good. * 'THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION IN WHISKT. “The Hoo. Matt H. Carpenter completed bis geat speoch bafore Judge Dyer, in the Unitad tates District Court, yesterday, on the constitn- tional guestion in the whisky cages. In the main g:mu. the speech resembled the argument made fare Judre Elodgett, in Chicago, the cases at bar being the ssme. namely, the power gf tho Court to make an order compelling distillers and Tectiflers to produce their books and papers ; but counsel bad for the parposes of this argument fortified himself with new authorities and new positions, which bo laid before the Court with wonderful eloquence and “fire, investing dull questions of law with & sharp interest that wonld be - thonght impossible. It wiil possibly stand hereafter ssone of the conepicnous efforts of this gt advecate's brilliant life. Iwill try.in = few worde, for the infarmation of the reader. to outline Mr. Carjenteris position. He insisted that theso iz are intended to force the defendants to produce evidence to prove their owu criminalify. sod gooted from Lgu petizion Sied in the caso to show such to be the case: and then argued that the Cunstitation expressly 2orbids the Oourts . making auy order that will bave thyt effect. First, bLa reviewed the straggle In England npearly a cen- tury and a balf: azo, when the coantry was still & British colony. on this very queetion; angd the fepeated attsmpts made in”the courts By the Goveroment of Great Britain to obtain tha right of search among the Looks and papers of s suhject for evidence of his guilt, and to compe! teatimony, either oral or written, of that character; and thon he read decisions in all the eading cases, denying tho right sought, and as- sem'nz the principlo a8 one established and rec- ized thst the ent possesses no snch power over¢hs peopla. This he regarded as s decided stcp in advance in defining the liberties of thé people. The priuciple thus do 2 never since been disturbed ia England, In En- gland, Parliament can -maske any Jaw it chooses, siud the Courts are mere interproters of those laws, standing between Parliament, and the people, and the Government. - This strugglewas “waiched with: intent interest, as was well under- stood in the colonies, and when they brokeloose from tire mather country, having learnt wisdom from e¥pericuce, and recognizing that the sonrce of all power 18 the sovereiza people, they adont- od a constitution whioh prescribed limits ve- yond which Cobgress and State Legislatures wuld not go. There sliould be no Parlis- suent, 1 this Conntry, to trample upon the righta of the people when once they had been nsserted and declared. But, after the adoption of the Conztitation, it was found that it omitted ull reference Lo the very principles thut had just Dheen settled, after nearly a quarierof a ceniury’s strugele, in Englend, and hence amendments to 1ho Constitution were made, numbered 4 and 5, swhichdeclared that nocitizen should be compelled 10 testify against himself in criminal cages. The ¢tatute of tbe United States allowing proceed- inga to be brought to compel parties defendant in 7evenue cases to produce books and papers, therefore, he declared to be unconstitutional. He insisted tuat these aro criminal cases, and therefors the defendants are snielded by the Constitution. N ) ‘fbe Hon. Luther 8, Dixon, late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of thie State, rdglied, aintaming that this is not a criminal but a civil case, and therefore does not come within the nicaning of tho Constitation. If Mr. Car- penter’s speect was remarkable for iia brilliancy, Judge Dison’s was no.less so for sound law, reasoning, and loga. EDUCATIONAL ACEIVITY. The week has been 'a busy ofie in the educa- tional institutions, both public and private. The most interosting exercises, perhaps, were thoso of the High School, Academic and Normal Do- partments, ‘Thursday evening and yesterday evening respectively. This school is doiug splendid work, and one cdn hardly express more admiration for it than it deserves. The Convent School is also an institation of great valde. The buildings are probably tho largest of the kind in the Northwest. They are wonderf{ully extensive, complete, and beautiful. I never suw anything approaching them in the perfection of their fit- tings and appointments. Looking from the en- trance down anyono_of the ps the floors of which sare polished and beantifully clean, with side strips a foat or 80 wide, and wainecoting, in golild walnut, theend seems loet in the dim dis- tance, There are class-rooms each: side of the ‘passages in one wiog, parlors and work-roomsin another wing, apd dormitories iu another. Then there ate iminense ktehens, lavatories, bakeries, and so fortn, school-rooms and halls, chapels, and everything necessary to the comfortand happivess of a permauent community of over So(reuuls, nd the daily accommodation of as many more. The Milwaukee Academy is ‘an- other institution worthy of notice. Prof. Mark- ham, 5 manof extensiva roputation in the educa- tional world, i tho Principal. The Academy has eurned a wide colebrity for the thorough and complete characier of the education taugut and the general success that bas charucterized its career. The Female Collego is another school of repute, principully derived, I believe, from the fame of the newly-engaged chief, Prof, Farrar, late of Vassar Coliege. When the Professor cane here. & great effort was mada to ropair and réfit the Collega, and add to its accommodations and fittings, and ibe result is a very extensive, pictoresque, and weil arranged group of baild- ings, well-izited, well ventilathd, and comfort- ably furnistied. It is sitaated i § charmiug rasi- dence neighborhood, and as ed&mm and board- iggal l;ua are expensive, the girls are of the genns swell. Beliool exercises st the Ward Schools (public) have been taking place all the week, have been Iargely attended, and have givon great eatisfac- tion. ~In this connection it 18 only falr o pay & tribate to the extraordinary activity of Superin- tendent MacAlister, and Ris devotion to duty. Taken altogether, tho cause of educgtion in tus city was never 80 flonrishing as it i3 now. and tho School Board are to be credited witlrattempt~ ing, to the bost of their power, to perform the [ m;]rk intrusted to them economucally and faith- fully. POLITICAL COMMENCEMENTS, Ward caucustug has been dctive ail the week among the Lepublicans. In the First Ward, the Republican caucus elected S. W. Granger and Goorge A. JcGarigle delegatos to the State Con- vention, and I. W. Van 8cbaick and Jobn E. El- dred to the Senatorizl Convention. In the Scc- odid Ward, Charles H. May and Charles W. Win- terfield were elected delegates to the State Con- vention. and James Yallop and Adolph Winkler to ibe Senatorial Convention. In the Fifth As- sambly District, James Porter and C. F. J. Mol ler were electod delegates to the Stats Convon- tion, and Georye L. Graves and David Vance to the Scnatorial Convention. BTATISTICAL INFORMATION.

Seversl picnics have been planned by private parties to take plage, it ‘the weather provea favorable. N . THE CLOSING EXERCISES at the High School, Friday the 20th, wero well attended, aud gavo satisfaction to the patrons of the school. In the evening s party was given at Dr. Seely's for the graduates. The grounds were lighted with Chinese lanterns, whose soft light lent a cham to the scene more fully appre- ciated by those who preferred a stroll through the gronnds to the dancing within. Prof. Ban- nan snd Iady graced the occasion with their pres- ence, and afforded much pleasure {o their pupils by their evident enjovment of the party. PRAIRIE AVENUE is the aristocratic name of a very beautiful street in'this city, and its denizens carry themselves right royally on acconnt of n supposed right so to do. ~ Wealth aud fashion sbide within the walls of its mansions, and sometimes hold high carnival, especially if some personage of note happens to favor the city with his prosence.

A COLORED GRADUATE. Apecial Correspandencs of The Chicago Tribume, Rockronp, 1L, July 3.—The prograauns pub- lished in tast Sunday's Trmuxe of the grad- uates of the West Rockford High Senool con- tained the name of a eolored youth woll and favorably known to the citizens of Rockf ord— the firat of the race, I believe, whose name goes into+he list of our eity graduates. A special in- terost was manifost in bis behalf last Thursday, Commencement Day, and over s thousand per- sons listened to his well-studied essay, ** The @randeur of Nations.” David Sumner, I am in- formed, was & great favorito among the High® School scholars. ¥ EXCESSIVE SENSTTIVENESS. The people of Rockford turn out heartily to literary exercises in their various schools. It was 80 on Thureday st the Seminary exercises and West Side High School, the Iatter having tho patter of rain added tothe ordinary require- ments upon the voices of the speakers; so again Fridsy the people filled the largest available church in the city to Jiston to the gradusting ex- erciges of the East Rockford High School. Six~ teen young ladies and gentlemen acquitted thom- gelves with high credit, of which I might be tempted to speak in faller terms had not the en— terprise of athera, who thought they were deing s kindness in informing the publio regarding the +game class, been received with such excessive sensitiveness, and even with indignation. I ‘venture, howover, to suggest that others viewed the matter a8 -of trifling consequence ; and thay themselves will one dsy wonder why they eared s0 much about it. ‘ A YOUNG LADY DEFRAUDED BY HER STEP-MOTHER. There-wes great excitement oocasioned here onTuesday by a yonng lady named Minnie Ham- lin, daughter of & rich man namod Jere Hamlin, deceased, telegraphing to ex-Sheriff Flyon, of this city, that she wasa in absolute want at Rock Talls, 1lI. 3fr. Flynn immediately forwarded her some money, and the young lady returned to Rockford Wednesday. From the girl's story, it appears that her step-mother had persuaded her to relinquish her claims (amounting to $12,000) to the estato for $25. Your correspond- ent called upon Mrs, Hamlin, who lives at easa in Rockford,. &nd. interrogated her as to the truth of Minnie's story. She admitted obtain- ing the deed, but offered to give it up for $1,000. She is a etrange sort of wowan, and Rockford citizens are justly perplexed as to the better course to pursue in arder to have the orphan righted. . AN ELOPEMEXT, Miss Alice M, Larkios is the danghter of one of Rockford's most: wealthy citizens, but this fact, much as iv might have elevatsd her in the opinion of the eligible young men-of the' com- | manity, did not prevent the charming Alice from éloping with Mr.' William H. De Forest, and | marrying him off-hand at Beloit, Wisconsin.

Al that period it took in eleven charter mermbers. Hero the matter rested until 3 fow weeks azo they were awakened from their slumbers by the Grand Clancellor Commander of the State Lodge.
