Don’t kneel in prayer, Nor moralize with hi* despair; The man is down, and his great need Is ready help—not prayer and creed. Tis time when the wounds are washed and healed, That the inward motives be revealed : But now. whate’er the spirit be, Mere words are bat a mockery. One grain of aid just now is more To him than tones of saintly lore ; Prav. if you must, in your full heart: But’giYt him give turn a eUrt! The world i* full of good'advice,' Of praver. and praise, and preaching nice , But the generous souls who aid mankind, Are scarce as gold and hard to find. Give like a Christiau-spea* in deeds; A noble life's the best of cre*da; And he shall wear a golden crown Who gives 'em a lift when they are down. WIFE AND I. She who sleeps upon my heart Was the first to win it; She who dreams upon my breast Ever reigns within it; She who kisses oft my lips Wakes the warmest bltssing ; Hie who reate vi'bin my arms Peels their Closest pressing. Other days than these shall come, Days that may be dreary : Other hoars shall greet us yet, Hours that may he weary : Bull thi" heart shall be thy home, HUH this breast thy pillow, Still these Bps meet thine as soft Billow meeteth billow. <4sep. then, on my happy heart, Sturt; thy love hath won it: Itream. then, on my loyal breast— None but thou hast dene it; And when age our bloom shall change Wifli its wintry weather, Msv we in the self-same grave Sleep and dream together. iftfK EMPTY < UAIM.K. Hail is the heart of the mother Who sits by tin. lonely hearth, Where never again the children Shall waken their songs of mirth. Amt Still through the painfu encf, Ska listens for voices and tread, Outside of the heart, there only She knows that fiey are not dead. fie.ro is the desolate cradle, The pillow so lately pressed, But far away has the bndltng Mown from Its little m-st. Coming the lullabies over, That once weie her babe’s delight, All through the misty spaces .She follows its upward flight. Little k he thought of a moment Ho gloomy and sad as this, When close to her heart she gathered Her child tor its good night kisM. Hhe should he tenderly cherished, Never a grief should she know, Wealth, and the pride of a princess, These would a mother bestow. And this is the darling portion In Heaven—where she has Hed; By angels securely guarded, Bv angels securely led. Brooding in sorrowful Bilence Over the empty nest, flan you not see through the shadows Why it is all for the host ? Better Iho hoavonly kingdom Than riches or earthly crown, Better the early morning light, Than one when the sun is down; Better an empty casket Than the jewels besmirched with sin; Wafer than these without the fold Are those that havo entered in. ON A NAUIiHTY LITTLE HOY, NI.EEFIMi. Just now I missed from hall and stair A joyful treble that had grown As dear to mo as that grave tone That tells the world my older care. And little footstep on tho floor Were stayed. I laid aside my pen, Forgot uiy theme, and listened—then Wtole soft to the library door. No sight! no soHml!—a moment s freak. Of fancy thrilled my pulses through ; “ If—no ’’—and yet, that fancy drew, A father's blood from heart and cheek. And then—l found him ! There he lay, Hnrprised by sleep, caught in the act, The rosy Vandal who had sacked His little town, and thought it play ; The shattered vase ; tho broken jar: A match still smouldering on the floor; The inkstand's purple pool of gore ; The chessmen scattered near and far. Strewn loaves of Albums lightly pressed This wicked “ Baby of the Woods ;” In fact, of half the household goods This son and heir was teized—possessed. Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught The hand that reached, the feet that strayed; And fallen in that ambuscade TYio victor was himself o’erwrought. What though torn leaves and tatlorod book Still testified his deep disgrace ! I stooped and kissed the inky face, With its demure and calm outlook. Then back I stole, and half beguiled My guilt, in trnst that when my sleep Should come, there might be One who’d keep An equal mercy for His child. 1 lint Unite, in Harper's Magazine for July.

CHAPTER X. “Go P said the captain, “and take my word of honor as an officer, that even mv own people shall not know of the service vou render us, until all is over “After that also,” begged Geronimo with artfnl modesty, “it is possible that the Piedmontese might come over here even though for a short time, and it would be quite possible that a foolish remark might have my house burned over my head and X would be bung like a calabash, on the nearest tree. There fore I would prefer nothing said about tbe affair either before or after ! “As you choose,” answered the cap tain, somewhat puzzled at having met here a man who undertook a dangerous adventure and refused in advance, on practical grounds, everything that look ed like reputation or honor. But he perceived at the same time tb&t if one did not wish to renounce his help, one must come into Geroßimo’s views. Soon after the smuggler, Kornfaessel took leave of the two ladins and hurried away to select the rowers for the reve nue cutter, No. 5, from among the cus tom bouse officers, and then to choose from bis own men half a dozen volun teers for the hazardous enterprise. , Lieutenant Mihalas/ was stiff and motionless from surprise when the cap tain, in tv solemn undertone, announced his determination to set on foot this night an expedition for Walden’s res cue. As unaccountable as it was to Mi halasy that the captain did not take him for the lender of this foolery, still the thought of remaining behind as the re sponsible commandant of the fort when at any moment bombshells aud grenades might lie sliowered upon them by the enemy’s batteries, seemed to him the poorest joke that ever originated in | KOrnfaessel’s round head. And only j the reflection, that if he made any oppo- j j t jon, the captain was in a position to en j trust, him with the resene business, held him back from reminding Kornfaessel j of his duty as commandant of the post, i j Therefore with sigh he permitted j | the captain to take awy (fOffi him sev- i i erai of tbe subordinate officers. Among j I them was chief gunner Waukelhnber, to ; ! whom tfie lieutenant in all doubtful offi cial affairs looked np as to a saviour, al- ! though he would have taken it very i ll i of the latter if bn }9d reminded him of ) it when tho danger was past. After he had selected ifiew, the eap- ! { tain acquainted his little company with 1 .|is scheme, a half loud but nevertheless ! enthusiastic “hurrah !” which Mihalnsy I felt to Urn soles of his feet indicated | ! the esteem in whip}) the prisoner was j field by them all After the captain had given a few more instructions in ease of accidents, which made tho lieutenant’s teeth chat ter, Kornfaessel marched down to the shoro with his brave little company. Already awaiting them there was tho slender black boat of tbn revqpue offi cers, who, although they did not know the object of this nocturnal voyage, i greeted joyfully anything like an adven * jure after such a long time without smuggling. .. Tiief cruised a little while, before the harbor of Larono and the red house, and it was not long before they saw a little bright hark push off, which the captain commanded them to follow. The hea vens were clouded, the night starless anil dark, so that one &t a distance could only distinguish, ly a bright light on the water, the mysterious boat which served as a guide. Hover si times a short, warm gust of wind came from the parted waves over the lightly agitated surface of the lake, and, after it was long passed, roared along the distant shore so that one could hear the water dashing against the beach. The bark. No. 5, sped like an ar row through tho waves, which rose scarcely perceptibly on its how. Jfioise leasly and regularly, as if they were moved by one arm, the six oars rose and fell. But they came no nearer to the little guiding phantom ship. At last the Navarrese shore rose ever higher and darker before them, and the outlines of the bright little boat were drawn distinctly on the back ground of black rocks. They could only have been a few strokes from land, they heard the waves of the .restless lake splashing on the black stones, and saw a silvery streak shinning through the darkness. Now a bright light flashed on the shore. “We are betrayed!” whispered the captain, and the six oars stopped in the air, while the volunteers grasped their weapons. Geronimo had also seen the sadden stream of light, but he was uear enough . to the shore to discover that it proceed ed from the entrance of the villa harbor, and that there was/inly a single dark shadow moving about in the arch. “Probably the father seeking his daughter,” thought Geronimo, .over whom the perfect coolness of a smug gler had come, and he rowed noiselessly nearly Anwn to the gate. There was no doubt that the light in the arch made the darkness outside more intense anil impenetrable. He perceived now also that the gate was open, nvl recognized the Brigadier Paglia, who, in * singular surrounding of clocks, pictures, qvna meiits nml other booty, stood with bowed head listening and looking out on the lake. He thought he heard a noise; suddenly he dipped the cover on his lantern to conceoViifP the light at one point, aud by the bright rays reaching far out on tile lake, he saw tie Count s boat dancing up auil .down. He p<‘C°g uizeil it immediately, and doubted not that in it was tho long expected Antonio who had anchored several hours ago at the station cook’s and had drank one bottle of wine altar another, and told in a hiccoughing voice how the brigadier had wanted to make a rascal of him. According to bis own custom, Tom muse cried: “Who goes there V” “Friends !” was the half loud answer, anil immediately the little boat driven by a powerful stroke shot under the areb, setting all the other dilapidated boats in motion. But beforeToaopiaso could satisfy him self as to whether it really was the hate ful face of the Lombard smuggler which stared at him from the boat, Geronimo hail already sprung on the narrow plank aud cut off his former friend’s retreat. A long knife glittered in his hand, and the expression of his eager eyes showed very plainly that he was determined to carry out the part which had been so suddenly assigned to him.” “A Bound, a motion, and you will have bo life to enjoy all thane beautiful things,” whispered Geronimo, with his knife to the stolen articles. “Put your lantern iu there !” he com manded, pointing to the niche in the i wall, which hail once served for Henry’s wardrobe, and which a beautifully! carved Cupid Psyche now completely filled. The discovered thief did not take long to comprehend the pit;} at ion, and obeyed. “Asanti !” called Geronimo oat on the lake. j “Forward !” said the ; then I the regular dipping of the sii oars was I heard, and immediately the long block boat No. 5 shot into the arch and pushed Caroline’s empty boat roughly aside. Tommaso’s knees began to tremble when he saw himself completely in the power of the enemy, and he looked round despairingly far a way out. “Your life will be spared if you tell us where the German officer is confined!” said the eaptaio. and six gun barrels were pointed at Tommaso. The brigadier's teeth chattered audi blv'as he saw Kornfaessel’* stern face ; right before him, and he answered. almost unintelligibly : “Still in the Villa; but he will be taken away early in the morning for the commander-in-chief |iw approved the sentence.” With a peculiar eye to his own in terests, Tommaso already perceived that he must make friends with these people in whose power he was. “Strongly guarded ?” asked the cap tain, “Remember that yen will answer with your life for the truth of your com munications." “The two riflemen content themselves with sleeping before the lieutenant’s door, after they have locked the door of j the house,” answered Tommaso already I re-assured, as the people who had sur prised him, as well as his friend Gero nimo evidently had nothing in view but the rescue of a prisoner, who was per fectly indifferent to him. “And the dog, where is the dog? suddenly cried Geronimo, with a'knowl edge of the place which was singularly opposed to his former protestations. i “ Dead —poisoned, Signore !” return- i the brigadier obligingly, and his j glance which rested involuntarily upon j the valuib)® B around him formed the i unintentional explanation of his words, i In the meantime Geronimo with the greatest friendliness (for the passing ad venture began to divert him) took out j of his pocket a strong cord which bp al ways carried with him to tie his nets, and wrapped it around the brigadier for Band-caffs. Tommaso did not dare to make any attempt at resistance, teU[at an encouraging enff m the riba from the smuggler, he went on board the little boat quite willingly. “Forward ?” ordered Geronimo. The captain looked significantly at the smuggler, who nodded, and took a seat opposite the prisoner. Kornfaessel grasped the lantern, and before he closed it Tommaso saw Geronimo s sword gleaming before bis face. Then both were in darkness and alone, The brigadier began at first, a sort bf . conversation ; perhaps in order to un derstand from the sound of his voice what his guard intended to do. “It is not handsome of you, Geronimo, to be so mnch against an old acquaint ance who has never abandoned you in a dilemma —” “It is well that you remind me of it,” answered tbe smuggler with a gentle laugh. “It mqgt be a pretty sum that you have extorted from me little by little, so that I have smuggled almost more for you than for myself. It must have been a much as a hundred sendi.” “What an imagination you have ! Not ten!” said Tommaso, defending him self, and then he perceived too late that he had ventured upon a dangerous topic. “It is at least five hundred lires,” con tinued the Lombard in a melancholy tone. “I know it positively. How if I demand them from you to-day, when I can drive my knife between your ribs and nobody would care about it?” “You are crazy!” cried Tommaso. “If I had taken so much from you I would not be the poor devil that I am. However, I have a few savings,” con tinued he, as if anew thought had sud denly occurred to him, “perhaps aflto gether about eighty scudi, and I would ?'!adiy sacrifice them to be released rom* this uncomfortable position. If you will come home with me I will cheerfully give you the money and send you back across the lake unmolested. Yon could say then that I had escaped, and you had pursued me.” Geronimo gave a long low whistle of intelligence, which cut off from the brigadier eyery hope oj oqtiyittipg his captors. “Make the thing short, and do not act as if we were a couple of children, my brave Tommaso,” said he earnestly. ‘ i think if you tried to escape you would have this knife run through yon, and you surely do not believe that I ; would accompany yon and put a halter ■ around my neck, besides giving up the | handsome sum which awaits me over i there. But when one is about to be come a rich man, he easily becomes a miser also. That is my case. I cannot j believe that yon would consider the ! quantity of money which you have j obtained reeently safe at home. \ Therefore, you doubtless have with j you the purae of tjie Cpuitfoss, whom | you brought here the other day, and which you forgot to return. Nriw I will ! bet that it would only be necessary to ! search you “ Bttle to find your hidden I treasnr.” Quite unconcernedly. And | Geronimo began to perforate the* uni ; form of his victim with tfie sharp point of his knife so that several times his skin was torn. “Geronimo, are you crazy?” groaned i Tommaso, throwing himself backwards j and forwards till the boat reeled. “Perfectly sane,” replied his tor mentor. “For if yon accidentally fall into the water it would be too dark to save you, and you would perish misera bly. "Ah! what have you there?” asked he, suddenly assisting in the search with his hand. “That feels like rolls of ma reughis. Yon havo fed your uniform well I must say,” “They are cartridges,” gasped the brigadier. “Cartridges? They are dangerous and mnst not bo allowed on a prisoner,” sneered the smuggler, while he forced his enemy down on the floor of the boat, tore off his uniform and took from ilia brpast a heavy purse which seemed in truth to be filled with papers and rolls of money. “See !” continued Geronimo, sticking the captured purse, while his victim groaned in helpless rage, “whether they are cartridges or money, it would be bad for you, if they were found in your possession ; for I am sure you will accompany ns to the other shore and thore await the end of the war. I will see how much of the money is mine and how much belongs to tlio Countess. The rest I will give up to your heirs, if ! you should not survive the war.” There was such cruel scorn and such mahclopS delight in Geronimo’s whis per that the brigadier was obliged to perceive that tfie' sua.ifggler, because of his own corrupitoesg, hated hjm even more than others of Ifis mor.o honorable but inexorable comrades, The brigadier was silent, but his breast heaved as if he were being suffo cated. Geronimo did not doubt that he , was brooding over a desperate plan to ! free himself end gpt his money again, ft seemed to hinj tby.t he heard the noise of tws o.uisid.o and prarauring voices. Tommaao tried to fi.se, biit he drew back so quickly that hjs head struck against tbe rowers' seat, for his neck had come in contact with Geroni mo’s cold blade. I The oar strokes and a loud voice could ino longer be mistaken. Tommaso breathed (mdfbly, £f?d even Geronimo’s heart heat violently, foy inspected mo mently that tho brigadier, in of all danger, would Cf jf for fie'P- The boat stopped before tfiP harbor, and the voices of the speakers beoauis more distinct. One, apparently heated with wine, and often interrupted by hiccoughs, was talking in the arch with solemn pathos If was a sermon of re pentance which the pe/snljar priest ad dressed to the Brigadier i*? 4 not very logical association of ideas, but from which it appeared that the speaker had concluded to remain an honest man, and ’ to leave off all plundering and theft, even if ordered to it by his superiors. Divine justice, and the respect of the world for an honest revenue officer, would be more to him khan all the silver and gold watches, cried the drunken man, and then be added, that oven the station cook wished to hayo nothing to do with the things, and would not assist them farther. Antonio (for it was lie) that he had tried to dissuade his sifp.erh'P fro m this reckless undertak ing, and had out to him the j eternal punishment Hi,at ibf’st necessa rily follow. Then the oara were again put in mo tion, and gradually the voice died away iu the roar of the breakers whicu dashed against the rocks. A deep sigh from Tommaso indicated tffi (lid not, without bitter regret, renounce tfufi confederate whom he had selected on account Lis unmitigated stupidity and submiesiycheas. In tbe meantime the little company hurried along the broad park road which was to lead them up to the villa. Only the fine sand crackled now and then un der a heavy tread, and the metal orna i meats of the weapons clashed against j each other. Then suddenly the chief i gunner grasped the arm, and all stood listening intently. Distinctly there rang through the park, like the voiee of a despairing soul, the word : “ Caroline!” Then nearer and nearer ; “ Caroline ! my child ! my child !’* “Iff is the Count who is seeking liis | daughter,” whispered the captaiD. “If 1 we get him in our power, Walden’s ! liberation will be much easier. For up to this time I have not seen how wo can break into the locked house without cansing an alarm that might ruin us all.” Again they listened, and a voice sounded close by them, speaking in | Italian, and in a tone of touching en-1 treaty. “Oh! my child! my child! Why | will yon leave me to die in solitude and ! despair ? I have erred, but my punish- j ment is too hard, and, indeed, I never i wished his death,” The captain heard the icwd breathing ! of the unhappy man quite near him. ■ They were on the same spot where the ! revenue officers had captured Walden. The captain opened the lantern, and | dazzled by the sudden light, Count Ban- j dimisni saw himself surrounded by sol-! diers. “You seek youy daughter,” said Cap- ! tain Kornfaessel. “And we, oar brave Walden. A life for a life 1” '•My daughter is dead !” answered the Count, fixing his sad eyes upon the cap- j taiD, of whom he seemed to have an in distinct recollection. “Your daughter lives, and we will tell | you where if you will give us back our j Walden,” rejoined Kornfaessel earnestly. Hippolyt Bandimiani seemed too stu pified and despairing to comprehend these glad tidings, as he whispered: “I wanted to file the iron bars off his j window, but anxiety for Caroline para lyzed my arm. “A pair of strong hands could set him j free. Gome-— *’ i Captain Kornfaessel left half of his I men behind as a reserve force, under the ! command of Waukelhnber, and a few' moments afterwards the partially filed bar of Walden's window gave way under 1 the united strength of six artillerymen’s fists. The prisoner (already prepared by the Count) came forth noiselessly from the room, which he would have i left in a few hours to go to the State | prison at Jntia, and from thence to his • i death. i There was no time for lengthy expla- j ' nations. In the liberated man there ! was something of the bewilderment of a j man whom happiness had surprised af ter he had resigned himself to despair. “Away ! Away 1” insisted the Count, j | "I hear a noise in the house 4” In truth, one of the slumbering ri-, flemen had fallen on hi* weapon and the other, drunk with sleep, was inquir ing the cause of the noise. “And you, Count inquired Walden, upon whom the fresh air streamed re freshingly. “Are yon not coming with I us?” The Count shook his head. “I am not coward enough to tear the j power which I serve. I was wrong *to change my country, but it would be an- j , grateful of me to secretly abandon the land which received .me hospitably. I i have atoned for my fault, Walden, so' 1 far as you are concerned; as for the I rest, consider me, as long as the war lasts, your enemy who will share the joys and sorrows of his adopted Father land. Now, I only beg you to tell me where my daughter is.” “With her mother !” answered Korn faessel. “Then I commend her to the protec tion of my chivalrous cousin !” said the the Count sadly, but calmly. “Away !” now commanded Kornfaes sel also, for the first pale streak of day light trembled over the mountains in the east. Walden stood immovable. “I cannot fly, and let the master of the bouse be made responsible for my escape,” said he determinedly. “And what will it prifit me if yon re main ?” interrupted the Count. “They will still discover the filed bar. The danger for me, therefore,' remains the same. It will only be Decessary for me to spend the rest of the night in a Summer house and try to reach my room unobserved in the morning; in that way every suspicion will be allayed. Your countrymen will have to bear the responsibility of your liberation. My flight would be an evidence of my com plicity, and would lead perhaps to the confiscation of my estates, which for the last few years have been all in this kingdom. On Caroline’s account, yon will not wish me to become a beggar, cousin, therefore adieu !” And the Count disappeared in a side path, as if to cut off the conversation that might prove so fatal to them all. 1 Walden made a movement to follow him. Then the Captain laid his hand heavily on his shoulder : “You are my prisoner, and have no longer the right to dispose of yourself,” said Kornfaessel, threateningly. “You have without permission absented your self from your post, and your offense falls under our military laws, unless you wish to add desertion and treachery to disobedience, and deliver us over to Piedmontese build s.” “You are right,” said Walden, after a short pause. “I have offended against the military laws of my country, and will give them satisfaction.” [To be Continued in next Sunday'b, Chronicle and Constitutionalist j v NORTH rAKOjINV UNIVERSITY COM MENCEMENT.

Chapel Hill, June 7. — This place is distant from Durham twelve miles, and is reached by private conveyance. Tile road is rough enough at several points, but, as a whole, affords a pleasant drive in the happy menu between very and y and very wet weather. Since Monday afternoon last, the people, young and old, have been literally pouring iu, until at this writing the village is crowded with representative men and women of this grand old State. The writer bad long felt anxious to worship a"t this shrine, from whence blessings great and innumerable have been, with an interval of about three years, regularly aud freely dispensed for of quite threo-quarters of a century. The University of North Caro lina was chartered in 1789, the first col lege edifice completed in 1794 and in struction commenced ‘in 1795. In 1798 the first anniversary commencement was held and nine graduates sent out into tho world to do battle for themselves, their Alma Mater and their State. Since then, the number of alumni has been in creased annually with the exception of the years referred to. The list em braces a host of distinguished names. President James K. Polk, Vice-Presi dent W. R. King, Bishops Po!k, Otey, Hawks, Green aud Davis, Governor Vance and other good men and true, who may be numbered in companies of fifty, speak, in well spent lives and iu present efforts, the praises of the University. Wo oft-times hear of the amount of money those institu tions of learning cost the State. No matter wliat sum North Carolina may have expended in support of the Uni versity, the record discloses the fact that the returh mado is more than am ple- indeed, there is a large unpaid balance due the TJniyprsity, It is a debt the State will never fully discharge, strive as she may, and be liberal as she ought. The present commencement was in augurated on Tuesday evening by a meeting of the literary societies, at which Alumni, of many years’ standing and eminerice In the State and country, made appropriate adi?re.s3es, apij by a hop in tpe ball ro.om. ft is’ uetifless to say that these introductory events vyere exceedingly recherche. The young ladies were as beautiful as tbe morning, and the young men appeared to be per fectly happy. At 11 o’clock, Wednesday morning, Judge D- G, Fowle delivered the annual address before tfhilanfbyopie and Dia lectic Spcietips. 1 Jii3ge JJowle chose for his snbjept, “North Oarolina—Duriiis qui| niiiee |lio War.” It was a magnificent production.

K.elcrfing 'Pp the ripe when Alamauce and Casyreil couhl'““ were pinged under martial lav/ and the Supreme Court' filled to enforce the groat writ of habeas corpus— a time when the people were made to feel that the night had settled upon them, Judge Fowle eloquontly apostrophised George \ W.

He made a most effective appeal to the young men to know why they should regard Christians as mad. The exercises in the eyeping were of a highly interesting character, consist ing of original orations by rep resentatives of the two societies. There were six speakers, eaeli of whom bandied his subject most admirably. I do not remember six brief and pointed speeches that ever gave me so much real pleasure. From first to last, the sub jects were eminently practical and were presented in that light. To particular ize would be to make invidious distinc tions. If those young men, Messrs. Winston, Jones, Manning, Johnston, Hill and Watkins, continue in the future as in the past and stand firmly on the eter nal principles so eloquently advocated in their speeches, North Carolina will have abundant cause to nurture and honor them. At the conclusion of the exercises j a st referred to, the audience proceeded to the spacious hall known as the Uni versity Library, vhere the customary hops are given, and where “the Ger man” was announced for the evening. The confession may smack of an inordi nate degree of verdanay, hut it must be made. I had never witnessed “the Ger man.” In Ellen Story, the most charm ing book of its kind I have ever read, is contained a graphic description of this captivating dance. One of the grave and reverend seniors led the German. The scene beggars de scription. Until one sees the perform ance with his natural eyes, one can not appreciate the feelings of triumph which filled poor Ellen’s heart when informed that she and Archie Howard were to lead on tha occasion created by Faw cett. I shall not attempt a description of this giddiest of giddy dances. Eat for most intense, continuous, and in creasing excitement, there is no amuse ment that equals the German. It is thrilling in intensity anfi debatable as to propriety. Its figures are numerous, complex and strangely inlertwinmg. It fuses the waltz, the hay dance and the cotillion; and, to be done cleverly, mnst be entered upon and pursued with an abandon that would answer in that un discovered place on the earth where, nectar fit for the gods is drank and ! where men and women have nanght to do but eat, drink and be merry. j This morning Gov. Yance delivered j an interesting and instructive address j on the “Life and Character” of the late i President David L. Swain. Gov. Yance j was followed by Hon. Walter L. Steele, an Alnmnns of the class of ’47, who pro nounced the 4lnmni oration. As both productions will doubtless be printed in pamphlet form, I present no synopsis of either. Suffice it to say that the hon ored gentlemen fully sustained the high reputation they enjoy for learning, wit and eloquence. Gov. Vance is known to our people. Col. Steele is a man possessed of marked strength of charac ter and intellect, and is destined to make an exceptionally bright record as a mem ber of the present Congress. The members of the graduating class, Messrs. Fremont, Phillips, Baker, Pow ell and Taylor, spoke this afternoon and received their diplomas. They are prom ising young gentlemen and stand de servedly high with their professors. They go out from the University pre pared to commence their education in good earnest. A grand ball capped the climax to-night. Altogether, this has been a pleasant week, aud the commencement is unani mously voted a success. The University, under the skilful and energetic direction of President Kemp P. Battle, has entered upon anew career of prosperity and usefulness. The signs of the times in dicate that by next September there will be from 200 to 250 students here. Dr. Battle has spent considerable time in visiting various portions of the State aud addressing the people on the im portance of sustaining the University. The waters are being troubled, and an educational revival, such as North Caro lina has never felt, is almost at hand. In closing, I mnst say that nowhere have I observed a finer looking body of young men, a more quiet, gentlemanly band of students than those in whose midst I have spent three days of unin terrupted pleasure. Martin V. Calvin. THE U. S. MARSHALSHIP. Who Is to Blame in This .Walter ? [Covingln7i Star. J It seems the announcement last week that Major Smyth had been reappointed United States Marshal for Georgia was premature. The President has not yet made tbe appointment of Marshal for this State. Major Smjth is still acting as Marshal, but otherwiso the “situa tion” remains unchanged. Iu our com ment upon the announcement we may have been a little severe on Mr. Hill, in charging him with the responsibility of Major Smyth’s reappointment, instead of a Democrat, or even of a native born Republican, to that important and responsible position, but not in tentionally so. We have no desire to do Mr. Hill injustice, but the case seemed to be rather an aggravated .one and to demand the severest censure of the press and people of the State. Iu reply to the inquiry of the Chronicle and Constitutionalist as to whether we spoke authoritatively in reference to Mr. Hill’s responsibility for Maj. Smyth’s re-appointment instead of a Democrat or native Republican, we will say that at the proper time, if necessary, we will en deavor to answer it; but, in tbe mean time, we hope Senators Gordon and Hit 1 will themselves explain to the people of Georgia precisely where the responsibil ity of the non-appointment of a good Democrat to the Marsliahship of the State does lie. This will be the most direct way of settling the controversy. THE TIDAL WAVE. Details of Us Fearful Ravages oil tlie Noutli American ('east—Six Hundred l.ives anil §2,000,000 Worth of Property Lost. New York, Juno 11.—The Star and Herald, of Panama, received to-day, lias the details of the disaster ar.d de struction caused on the South Pa cific Coast by the earthquake and tidal wavo of May 9. The towns of Arica and Iqniuqe, Ponta do La Cos, Pabellou de Pica, Chanavayn, Huanills, Tocopilla, Cobija, Mejillones, De Bol ivia, Autafagasta and Chanaralal are nearly all destroyed. About 600 lives were lost. The destruction of property is estimated at $2,000,000, oonfined mostly to the coast, although the town of Tarapaca, 23 leagues inland, aud the villages of Pica, Mfttilla and Cauchall, far iu tho interior, were more or less rained. The shipping of guano from Southern deposits will bo indefinitely suspended, as all facilities in tho way of launches, ohutes, wharves, water oon densers and buildings of all kinds have been swept away. The destruction of and damage to shipping has been very great, and was attended by Very Serious Loss of Life* At Molendo, the railway was torn up by the sea three hundred feet, and at 110 t}' t e railway was also injured. At Arica' the people were preparing tempo rary fortifications to repel the threatened assault of the vebel ram Hauscar at the very moment tlie roar of the earthquake was heard. The shocks were very nu merous, and caused immense danger. The sea was suddenly perceived to re cede from the beach, and a wave from ten to fifteen feet high rolled upon the Bhpre, "carrying ajf fiefot'e jti Eight times was repeated this assault of the ocean, and four miles of the embank ment of the railway melted away like sand. Locomotives, cars and rails were hurled about by the sea like so many play things, aud left in a Tumbled Mass of Rubbish. The United States steamer “Wateree,” stranded by tho waves of ’6B, was lifted bofiily ahd’ Abated two miles north of her qld position. Tfie cable buoy was moved a quarter of a mile northward. The merchandise from the oustom house and stores was carried five miles distant. The damage done was greater than that of the calamity of ’6B. Tho earthquake had leveled tlie custom house, railway station, submarine cable office, hotel, British consulate, and many' private dwelling*, hfpgJ® passed tho night on the hills. Unlives began to rob, when the .troops fired up on them, killing several. Tbe DestriK'tien ef J:^iii;jHe ; Jquique, built of wood and oane, tum bled down at the first onset. Lamps were broken, and burning oil, spreading oyer tlip ilefirjs srifftpd a geuerifi confla gration. ’ Three companies of firemen were instantly at their posts, although it was difficult to maiutain an upright po sition, shock following shoek with dreadful regularity. To procure water, the two beat fire engines were stationed on tlie beach. Just then tbe cry aroße, “The sea!” “the sea!” and the waves rushed in; The engines we*e carried out by the reflux, and tlie fire continued unopposed. Three elements of destruc tion were busy at one moment—fire, wa ter, and the earthquake. The affrighted people Left tlie City to Its Fate Flying to the neighboring eminences. Tlie fire destroyed a large portion of the town, the earthquake leveled nearly all the rest, and the water covered the ruins which it took out in its reflux. Tlie water condensers along tho shore are ruined. This is an irreparable loss for Iquique, as no palatable water is found. There were nearly four hundred thous and quintals of nitrate at Iquique. The adjacent ports of MoHe and Fisqua were destroyed, Small loss of life took place, probably ten persons in all. The coast ing craft and small boats in the harbor were broken to pieces. As in Arica, the robbery of goods lying in tlie streets was attempted, but a guard of citizens took such severe measures that the rob bers fyeye speedily driven away up on the pampas, eleven mfles ffom Iquiqne. The splendid nitrate establishment, “La Nueva Carolina,” was completely de stroyed. The Suffering of the People Of Iquique was intense. The absence of water and the destruction of the prin cipal stores added to their hardships. It is estimated that the damage done in Iquique will amount to nearly four mil lion souls. Cbanavaya, a little town at a guano-loading deposit, known as Pa bellon Depica, with 400 houses, has only two standing. Here the earthquake was followed by fire. There were no fire en gines in the town, and the sea came in and extinguished the flames, but as it retired, carried off all that remained of tbe place. In one of the guano cut tings, thirty laborers were buried by falliug earth. Havre, a town of Tarpa ca, two or three leagues inland, and the villages of Pica, Matilla and Canchones, were more or less ruined. The loss of life is reported as not being great. The earthquake was especially severe at Chanavaya. The earth opened fifteen metres in depth, aud the whole surface of the ground was changed. At least Two Hundred People Were killed. The bodies were floating in the bay, and pestilence is feared. At Huanillas, another guapo-loading station, the damage inflicted was fear ful. All the houses were destroyed. The guano cuts have fallen in, and, as at Pa bellion, all loading must be suspended for at least two months. Tlie Wave Which succeeded the earthquake, [and completed the destruction, was nearly sixty feet in height. Mj)ny vessels were lost here, together with several of those on board. In everything except a few huts at the back of the town has been destroyed. At Mexillones the tidal wave was sixty five feet in height. Two thirds of the town was completely destroyed. The gnano shoots, wharves, lannches, boats, water distilleries, railway station, loco motives, cars and furniture were all swallowed up. Six persons were drown ed. At Teocioilla little or nothing re mains. The Xonnmine, called La Pena Danea, four miles to the southward, sank in, smothering 206 workmen, of whom forty were Cornish miners.— Cobija, the principal town on tbe Boli vian Coast, has lost three-fourths of the houses. The wave, thirty-five feet high, swept along the main business street, and left it as level as a desert. The wharves and lannches were all parried out to sea. Brigham Young will begin celebrating his silver wedding next Monday, and it will be about three years before lie gets through with it. A PANORAMA OP THE WAR. A street Scene in Kars—Tlie Turk and the Telegraph Operator. [From the Burlington Haiokeye.{ This is a street scene in Kars. We don't know who seen it, but we know it was saw. Probably some Russian czar it. The city is in a state of siege. The gentleman in the foreground, feeling over his head for the ground, is a pri vate gentleman in a Cossack regiment. He is not feelißg very well. He is ill. A moment ago he met a fifteen inch shell, and was too busy to get out of the way. His stomach, lungs and swal lowing thing went on with the shell, and he will never enjoy a square meal again. His comrades wish to send for the doc tor. He declines. He says he does not need him. He is right. He can die without him. The doctor will weep when he learns the Cossack is dead. He wilh bend over his lifeless form, and then he will weigh it and put it an item, to the last ounce, as a tumor he re moved from a gentleman in Scott coun ty. Truly, in the midst of life we are in debt. The gentleman in gunnybag trogsers and a long pipe is a Turk. He is the friend of the American journalist who uses him to make puns of. He will not last much longer at the rate the Ameri can journalist is using him up. This is all that anybody knows abont the Turk or Turkey." Move the panorama on. This is a Russian General. See the wide landscape stretching away in the dim distance. Let her stretch—it doesn’t cost us anything. You cau not see the Russian General for his name, but be is there all the same. You can smell his breath. He eats tallow candles. This makes him light hearted. His name comes in by the big rock on the left, fol lows the course of the meandering brook in the valley, winds slowly up the moun tain side, and disappears in the direc tion of Ulpblowitch. It is nine miles long, without the titles. When his mot'.er used to call him up to breakfast, she started at 9 p. m., took a long breath and talked it off till morning. This is a telegraph office. The bright looking young man at the table in a Western Union operator. The little brass and steel thing ticking away on the table is the instrument. The opera tor is very easily distinguished from the instrument. He cau not talk so fust as the instrument, but he cau sleep a great deal more. He is going to sleep now. The man leaning over the counter is a heartless citizen, who has the cheek to ask the operator to send a dispatch for him. The operator takes the message, but he does not send it. He hasn’t time. He loses rise games of checkers while that citizen is wondering why he doesn’t get any reply to ilis dis patch. Then the citizen starts out to walk to the place and see the man. He finds him, and soon after they meet the dispatch comes along. The citizen re members and recognizes it. Ho is af fected to tears. The operator finds him and charges him forty cents for sending the message, forty-five cents for the wear and tear of the instrument, fifty cents for the strain on nervous system, sixty cents for collecting rate on mes sage, sixty-five cents on general princi ples. He learns afterward that the citi zen yet lias some money left, and lie is going back in the morning to borrow it of him. This is Constant O’Nople. He is the leader of the muscle-men. All the O’Noples are muscular men. Constant O’Nople isn’t afraid of St. Petersburg. Ffe isn’t even afraid of a b—d burg. The sound of tho bucksheesh is heard iu the distance. This is a Christian martyr of Rou mania. He leans up against the awning post, and remarks that thero isn’t any uso iu Roumaniang around here nny longer. He is a book agent. He has been kicked down three pair of stairs, chased through an alley, bit by two dogs, been bit with a poker, slapped with a boot-jack, had a lump raised on him with a barrel stave, been punched into a cistern, got lost twice in strange streets, been arrested fou,r times on charges of vagrancy and on general sus picion, been chased out of town once as a swindler, whipped by a drayman, rob bed of his watch, lost his hat, been call el 789,000 different kinds of names, and sold two books, one of which the man took and never paid him for, and on the other he made a gross profit of 82 cents. He is not rich, is this book agent. But he is good. Be kind to the book agent. : You may publish a book of your own you will want sold some day. * CONSTITUTION AT. CONVENTION.

Tlie Cemetery at Hagerstown, Annual Decoration Yesterday—Fitzliugli I.ee De liyers au Address. Baltimore, June 13. Washington Cemetery, Hagerstown, where the Con federate dead, killed in tho battles of Antietam and South Mountain are in terred, was formally dedicated yesterday with the appropriate memorial ceremo nies and graves strewn with flowers. An oration was delivered by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia. About four thousand persons were present. The cemetery was incorporated in 1870 by the Legis lature of Maryland with an appropria tion of five thousand dollars, which has since been increased to ten thousand. Tho States of Virginia and vYcst Vir ginia have a|fjo made appropriations. A handsome marble monument adorns the grounds in which about twenty-five hun dred Confederate dead lie buried. “HERE VVE REST.” < And Here We Prosper—Alabama’s Fine Wheat Crop—Paying the State l>ebt Promptly. Montgomery, Jane 13.—Rains are very general in Alabama, and have been of great good to the crops. Oats are comparatively a failure.

M M Crucifixion in Amerirn. {Cor. of (ge Churehman from Bel Rarte, Col] Ont in the country we have the Mexi can penitenfes, whoso nominal Chris tianity has only served to determine the time and manner of their penances. Last week, returning from Sagnache, 1 tried a short cut, and, riding over a little hill, suddenly came upon a band of four. , Naked, except for n pair of drawers, they were walking barefooted through ! the snow, chanting some melancholy straiu, and lashing their bare bpdies with strips of sop.pweed leaves, it is no poetical ‘exaggeration, but the literal fact, that the blood was flowing rapidly down them. Their bodies looked like raw steaks, and the heavy sound of the lashes told of the reality of the flagella tion. Some little distance from them stood a large wooden cross, which, I was told, had been carried in procession by one last year, weight must have nearly broken his' back. Upon it they crucified one of their number last Spring, binding him fast by ropes, and leaving him so long that he died.

'Yegetine Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which sim ply r urges the bowels, but is a safe, pleasant remedy, which is sure to purify.tho blood, and thereby restore the health. V egetine Is now prescribed iu cases of Scrofula and other diseases of the blood, by many of the best physicians, owing to its great success in curing all diseases of this nature. "V egetine Dees not deceive invalids into falso hopes by purging and creating a fictitious appetite, but assists nature iu clearing and purifying the whole system, leading the patient gradually to perfect health. "V egetine Was looked upon as an experiment fer some time by some of our best physicians, hut those most incredulous in regard to its merit aro now its most ardent friouds and supporters. V egetine Says a Boston physician, ‘'has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonder ful cures, after all other remedies had failed. I visited the laboratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, rocts and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and they aro compounded in such a manner as to produce astonishing results.” V egetine la acknowledged and recfmmended by physi cians and apothecaries to tie the best "purifier and cleanser of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak iu its praiso who have been restoied to health.
