Ease-Ball.
Tuesday night last our ears were ab
most) deafened by the loud song and
joyful exclamations of a party of gen
tlemen travelling in a wagon. At first
we were at a loss to account for their
merriment, but immediately remember
: ing the game of ball to lip played the
next day by the Elberton boys, wo do
cided that it must be the players, who
fresh from tho concert and their lady
loves, at one o’clock were merrily wend
ing their.way to tho scene of next day’s
sport.
Anxiously did wo desire that such
pluck should bo rewarded with success,
but what did befall them we relate as
was told us by our reporter who made
■one of the party. .
The boys traveled all night, enlivening
their journey with loud hurrahs, and
gladsome songs and reached Crawford
.at nine o'clock. Hero they wero met
by a committee of Crawford boys who
took forcible possession of the entire
party, mules, wagons and all, and divid
ing them among themselves, soon pro
vided each Base Ballist with a smoking
breakfast, most acceptable to the jaded
travelers.
Each member of the Elberton party
then sought to refresh their weaiied •
persons by sleep, but to few did the god
of slumbers vouchsafe his presence.
At o’clock, p. nr. the two clubs mot
promptly on the field, the Empires‘un
der tho lead of their Captain, J. E.
Davant, and the Varieties headed by
their Captain, J. F. Cheney, each num
Bering a full club of ten men.
Tho Empires presented a beautiful
■appearance in their tasty blue and white
uniforms, though every countenance had
a per,foot sleepless appearance.
Tho Varieties with blue and red uni
form seemed as bright and fresh as the
morning star, and as confident of tho
r ntest as “the love-lorn swain in maid
en’s bower, waits the coming of the ap
nointed hour.”
. Mr. Hodgson, of Athens, was chosen
umpire, choice for positions won by the
Varieties, who took the field and sent the
Empires to the bat.
The first inning each sido played bad
ly, tho Varieties scoring six: and tho Em
pires five.
Immediately though each club went
to business proper, and the score gradu
ally increased against tho Elbertonians
,until the seventh inning, at the begin
ning of which the Varieties stood 21,
and. the Empires, 10. Exercising all
their skill in the remaining thiee innings
tho Empires scored 8, and whitewashed
the Varieties thrice. This though eauio
too late, foi\the,scorors,|Col. P. E. Davant
and Mr. Norton announced the result to
be Varieties 21, Empires 18.
So our boys were beaten after riding
.30 miles at night in a wagon to play
their adversaries, but they gracefully ac
cepted the situation, and deputised John
P. Shannon to present the Varieties the
Bat and Balh thejtrophiesof their victory.
Mr. R. D. Stokely was the member
entitled io .them on account of having
made the largest number of runs, and
Capt. Cheney accepted them for him in a
few timely remarks.
The Empires were not content with
their defeat, but challenged tho Varieties
for another game iiejxt morning, who
declined but promised to play them
again soon.
Tho game was a close and very inter
esting one, and was witnessed by about
150 persons, including many of the fair
sex. .
The Empires are loud in their praise
of Crawford hospitality, and most ar
dently desire that the Varieties will visit
them soon, and fight the battle ovei
again, promising to entertain .them as
best they can in a game, and .an irneut
endeavor to return tlmir many liiud
aiesses and hospitalities.
We echo tho invitation and say come
.on, Crawford, .and looE well to your
laurels. __

The Commencement.
The commencement of the Elberton
Female College on Tuesday of last week,
was a most agreeable affair, taking by
surprise many who were present and
who expected to see the usual tame
affairs of country schools. The accora
plished lady in charge of tho institute,
Mrs. S. E Capers, has shown most con
clusively that she has a perfect faculty
for .governing children. Everything
worked like clock work; there was noth
ing tame; no mediocrity; all simply
perfect. Even tho choruses by the
smaller and intermediate classes were as
perfect and attractive as the most fin
ished essay read on the occasion. Each
child knew tho part to be enacted, and
each one acted as though success de
pended upon her exertions.
The essays read by the young ladies
were as good as they could be for this
or any other school or college, and tho
reading was not a whit behind any in
stitution of learning in the State. When
we say there was not an indifferent es
say or one indifferently read we speak
what is simply true. A committee to
award the prize to the best reader found
it extremely difficult to reduce the num
ber of best reader to less than five, and
finally would not consent for less than
two to receive prizes. This fact will
give some idea of the character of tho
reading.
The able literary address by Elbert’s
honored son, Mr. E. M. Rucker was a
production worth of that accomplished
gentleman, in whom every citizen of El
bert feels a natural pride.
At the conclusion of the reading by
the young ladies of tho two societies of
the school—Thalian and Calliopean—a
poem inscribed to the Thalians, written
by a young lady member thereof, was
read by J. P. Shannon, Esq. The poem
showed depth of thought worthy of a
lady of more mature years than the one
wo hear the authorship attributed to. It
was an excellent production, and its au
thor, we predict, will one day occupy a
high position among the authors of the
future.
We append a full programme of the
essays as read j
Glass—Greeting Glee.
Miss S. Fortson—Unconscious heroes.
Miss I. Vail— -Queen Fashion.
Miss N. Heard—Seek not to know the
future.
Miss F. Clark—Tho advantage of a
scientific compared with a classical edu
cation.
Miss V. Osborn—True heroism
Miss B. Capers—“Tempora mutantur,
ct nos cum lllis mirtamur.”
Miss I. Power—The sea hath its pearls
and the heart its love.
Miss A. Auld—Progress.
Miss A Harper—The source and influ
ence of the poetic.
Miss M, Capers—Who is a gentleman?
Miss L. Haslett —“Labor ornna vin

Miss A. Lanoston—.-All that is bright
and beautiful must fade.
Miss A. Anderson—ldeas
Miss S. Shannon—Spirit of the ago. .
Miss S. Worley-—Man’s true great
ness.
Miss ill. Brewer —Eloquence in word

Miss N. Jones —Is it neeeesary to
erect costly monuments to the dead ?
Miss V. Hammond—What shall my po
sition bo ?
Miss S. Grogan—The present.
Col. E. M. Rocker —Address.
Wo venture tho assertion that there
was no one present on the occasion—
and tho house was intensely crowded—
but felt thoroughly convinced that tho
able preceptress was eminently fitted
lor the position she fills, and the pros
pect of a large attendance at tho fall
term has been greatly enhanced.
Tho fall term of the school will begin
on tho first Monday in September.
A New Mill.
Capt. D. B. Cade, of Petersburg, this

rock, and two stories of brick; size 30
by 45 feet, 14 feet between joists. Tho

A Small Pox Scare.

The Concert.
Decidedly the affair of the season was
the exhibition of Mrs Capers’ school,
closing with a delightful concert by that
accomplished musician, Mrs. T. J. Hes
ter, assisted by ber pupils, who evince
a thorough knowledge of music. Most
if not all of theso young ladies have been
entirely under the instruction of Mrs.
Hester, and consequently much credit
is reflected upon her by. the brilliancy of
performance { and faithfulness of execu
tion rendered by her pupils. Mrs. H.
is unexcelled as a musician anywhere,
and lias never been equaled in our com
munity.
The evening of tlio concert was in
tensely warm, but the oppressive heat
did not prevent the house from being
crowded to overflowing, and I never saw
as large an audience more attentive than
the one on that occasion.
The entertainment was opened with
an instrumental piece executed by Miss
Cora Edwards, accompanied by Master
Lamar Hester, who with his drum kept
excellent time, proving that the gifted
mother’had transmitted somo of tier ge
nius to her boy.
To attempt to criticise Mrs. H’s. per
form? nee would be “vanity of vanities,”
it would be like an attempt to paint the
rose, polish the lily, or to add perfume
to the violet. The first strains vibrated
through tho house and the audience
were spell bound by the electrical power
it is ill's. Hester’s privilege to exercise.
Miss Janie Tate rendered the “Carni
val of Venice” with matchless' skill and
effect, and wonder not as wo gazed into
the depths if her blight eyes that wc
dreamed of moonlight, Venice, a gon
dola, love, and a dark eyed maid. -
The “Dance of the Fairies” under the
skillful touch of Miss Mi llie Brewer,
made one feel almost as if in the pale
of enchantment ho was being whirled
through the mazes of the magic dance,
with Miss B. as queen of the fairies.
“Falling Waters” fell so sweetly from
the fingers of the charming Miss Mcln
tosh that we felt the inspiration that
caused the immortal Shakespeare to pen*
the decree against the man that had
“not music in his soul.”
Miss Nora Jones now sang “Darling”
with a sweetness that ever characterizes
her voice.
“Christmas Bells” rang merrily from
the piano under Miss Lizzie Haslett’s
touch.
“La Season Galop” was executed with
inimitable grace and effect by [Miss
Langston.
Anil now the bright, merry little
blonde, Miss Cora Edwards, sang the
“Style of the Day.” There is decided
musical talent in that little sylph. Her
voice is clear and musical, and every
word of her song could be heard
throughout the house. There was but
one opinion respecting her, that she was
gifted by nature and well cultivated by
Mrs, H.
Nov; “O’er the Waters” was snngjry
tho intelligent and accomplished Mrs.
Tate, who with her guitar and soft lute
toned voice made sweet music for us.
Misses Mclntosh and Tate sang “O’er
Hill and O'er Dale” with delightful
SWO6irU6S3.'
“The Old Home Ain’t What it Used
to Be,” by Mr. L. H. O. Martin was
splendid, the gentlemen’s chorus in
which many voices blended in “concord
of .sweet sounds” added much to the
song.
Mrs. Hester sang with her unrivaled
soprano that fine operatic piece “Hear
Me, Norma.” When I say Sirs. H. play
ed and sang, I convey all that it is pos
sible for me to express. You who have
been fortunate enough to hear her at
once ki ow how to appreciate the utter
impossibility of Soing her justice with a
mere pencil- sketch. With her, music ,
though understood thoroughly as a sci
ence, is rendered under the inspiration
of genius ; aud proves itself only the
echoes of her noble soul.
Misses Wilhite and Mattie VanDuzer
played a duet very sweetly ; indeed eve
ry member of tho class acquitted them
selves with credit.
The closing scene arranged by Mrs.
H. was beautiful in the extreme.
Miss Brewer, representing America,
dressed in pure white, covered with glit
tering stars, Vi blue scarf .spangled fas
tened gracefully over her shoulder, bear
ing the American flag, came first, and
sang oh! so delightfully “Red, White,
and Blue.”
Then Miss Lizzie Haslett presented
herself as Germany, and she was decid
edly German, dress, manner and all.
She favored us with that sweet German
air “The Watch on fixe Rhine.”
She was followed immediately by Miss
Nora Jones, as France She was attir
ed in white brocade siljk with an over
dress of pink, spangled. Her costume
was elegant, evincing that exquisite taste
of selection and combination that aj
ways renders Miss Nora effective, but
lior dress, though in keeping with per
feet harmony and cleganoe, was naught
compared with that voice that warbled
like the nightingale “The Marsellaiso”—-
it “thrilled me, filled me,” with a delight
scarce felt before. There is a volume, a
deep pathos in tlie voice of Miss Nora
that all must feel and own. Crusty old
bachelor that I am, I must confess that
Miss N. J., with those large, earnest,
matchless brown eyes that look into
*your very soul, that winsome, child-like
grace that is an inherent part of her
nature, and that wonderful voice touch
ed a chord in my heart that awoke a
melody akin to love. lam no novelist,
but if ever I should become one, Miss N.
is my hejoine. (Pardon the digression.)
Next in order came Miss Langston,
as Switzerland. A perfect type of a
Switzer she was, her dress, features,
manner, carried us unconsciously away
to the far off land of the ‘Sublime and
beautiful. Her song “Tha Switzer Faro
well” was as sweej; 4be Swisa girl
looked.
Now, Miss Anderson came out in the
Highland costume, representing Scot
land, and singing as sweetly as a Scotch
lassie might her .own •‘'Coming Thro’ tho
Rye.”
Miss Lizzie Clark now concluded ibis
! beautiful episode of the evening by rep
resenting “Tho Lost Cause.” Clad in
pure white, she presented the dear old
j stars and bars, our thrice hallowed flag,
j rent and worn sadly. Reverentially, she |
i planted it in front of the stage, then
i taking a position quite near it,, she re
j hearsed in a voice of touching sweetness 1
Father Ryan’s immortal poem “The j
Conquered Banner " It is impossible !
for me to convey an idea of the touch- j
ing beauty of the scene, or the exquisite ;
style in which the poem was repeated.
I for my part wept like a child—wept
tears as holy as the remembrance of our
lost though honored cause.

and the industries of tjie whole country flags.
Ask the cause and you are told it is due to “want
of confidence ” Ask the lew who have not used
Dr Tutt’s Hair Dye, grid they say “I have no
confidence in it, I ImVcbaep so often humbugged
by such articles.” We ask them to .read the fol
lowing testimony from parties of undoubted

When'a Brooklyn woman wants anew dress
ami feels a little delicate about asking for it
direct, she presents her husband with a nioti
beaded shaving-pnper-case,* filled with tissue
from an old paper pattern. The first time he uses
it lie', notices the little round holes in the paper,
and naturally inquires the reason, which given
her the chance to say with a regretful sigh that
it’s ouly a “Domestic Paper Fashion” that stm
would have used some lima ago but for tho
iason that she saw he was poor just then and
felt as if she ought to economize to |)e!f him
along. Noble* self-denial like this usually
fetches things.
