Nellie Grant’s Mother-in-law.
From Wilkes’ Spirit.
The recent marriage of Miss Nellie
Grant to Mr. Sartoris recalls a flood of
old-time memories—not in connection
with either the bride or the bridegroom,
for both maybe very commonplace kind
of people—but • owing to the mother of
the latter being a woman of mark in the
artistic world, Adelaide, the youngest
daughter of the Kembles.
It was in 1841 that the dazzling vocal
star of the English operatic hemisphere
startled the musical world of London
Well do we remember her advent; it
seems to us but yesterday.
I English opera was in a torpid state; all
attempts to give it a permanent vitality
were unsuccessful; failure had succeeded
failure, owing to the lack of> a prima
donna capable of replacing Mrs. Wood
or poor MQabran in the estimation of the
public. It was then that a thrill of ex
pectation ensued in London, when the
announcement that Adelaide; the young
est daughter .of the great Charles Kem
ble, was about to make her debut on the
ric stage at Covent Garden Theatre,

all the glories and past triumphs of the
Kemble family and the great Mrs. Sid-
dons.

LaGRANGE FEMALE COLLEGE.
Commencement Exercises — Animal
Address, Etc.
LaGrange, Ga, July 2,1874.
Editors Constitution : The “Commence
ment holidays” closed last night with the
charming “levee” of the LaGrange Fe
male College. > Two mortal weeks of ex
hibitions, concerts, sermons, orations, etc.
“Think of that Master Brooke,” with the
thermometer well up in the nineties.
The annual examination of the pupils
of the LaGrange Female College was
conducted on the 25th and

iwith the
agedii
ability, and it only remained for Ade
laide, the youngest and last of the Kem
bles, to add the remaining leaf to the
glorious wreath of bays the Kembles so
proudly wore.
The event, so eagerly anticipated alike
by the musical and dramatic world of
London, took place on the evening of
November 21st, when the auditorium of
old Covent Garden was thronged to its
utmost capacity from pit to upper amphi
theatre. There were two of the latter in
those days, for all the theatre-going
world of the English metropolis felt an
interest in anything which concerned the
family of their time-honored idols* the
Kembles.
The opera selected for the occasion,
and most wisely so, considering the char
acteristics of the artiste who was to make
her debut, was an excellent English adap
tation of Bellini’s “Norma,” in which
Madame Pasta, the great original, had
made so profound a sensation on the
Italian lyric stage. In the Haymarket,
where she also, on whom Pasta’s mantle
subsequently fell, Giulia Grisi, the origi
nal Adelgisa, on the first production of
the opera in Italy, was then challenging
comparison with her great model ana
prototype in all her most renowned roles.
It was thoroughly well known that
Adelaide Kemble had been studying vo
calization in Italy, under the best teach
ers of the art. It was equally well under
stood that all the necessary dramatic
culture that could be given her she
would obtain from her father, Charles
Kemble, as a matter of course. Hence,
perhaps, more was expected from her
than fills to the lot of most lyric debu-
J tes. 'High, as were the expectations
ulged in, they were not doomed to be
aisappoinfed; on the contrary, they were
even more'tnan fulfilled, for the audience
resent saw and heard a truly great and
hed artiste; and hot a half-frightened

The movements of Porter were not lost
sight of, skilfully as he manouvered. He
went out into the neighborhood of the Blue
Front and then disappeared. Yesterday
morning abont three o’clock he was seen
near the Soap Factory, coming in tIndirec
tion of the city.
Porter secured the services of a friend to
deliver a note to his “lady fair,” who goes
by the name of Anna Smith. Bnt unfortu
nately the bearer of the missive blundered,
and delivered it to
THE WRONG ANNA.
Naturally she felt outraged abont its recep
tion, and placing her sister to watch the
bearer, she came up to town bo procure a
S ollceman to arrest the bearer and the sen-
er of the note.
She met with Policeman John W. Butler
who accompanied her'home, but the bird
had fled! But upon returning to the Station
House they met the bearer of the note. He
had given Porter notice that the note had
fallen into

Upon being questioned by Policeman
Butler, however, he told where Porter was
and gave a diagram. Policeman Butler and
others then proceeded to Ivy street at the

and Porter also came up in a few seconds,
orter was then escorted to jail.
He was evidently in earnest in Ms Wish to
see Anna.
The following is a copy of

were-exhibited in alTdepartmente of this
valuable Institution.
On Sabbath morning, 28th ult., the
Commencement sermon was preached at
the Methodist church to a very large au
dience by Rev. J. O. Branch, of Macon,
Ga This reverend gentleman delivered
a most excellent discourse, thoroughly
evangelical in sentiment and beautiful in
style.
On Monday night thereafter the un
dergraduates of the College gave a very
pleasant entertainment at Steriing’s Hall
The well arranged programme consisted
of declamation, dialogues, cantatas, cho-
nises, solos, etc. While there was noth
ing elaborate in the performance, it was
emphatically a delightful evening.
Amongst the more noticeable features
of the occasion was an exquisite song by
Miss Rosa Stemberger. it was beauti
fully rendered, and foreshadows a bright
future in the realm of music.
The most attractive occasion of the
whole commencement was the Senior ex
hibition on Wednesday, July 1st.
The graduating class consisted of seven
! grad
young ladies, viz': Misses Maggie Whita
ker, Mary Belle Evans, Lula Ward, Maria
Bass, Dora Boykin, Addie Wimbish and
Sallie Lou Haralson. These young ladies
constituted a class, not numerically large
it is true, but rarely equaled, either for
personal loveliness or intellectual amt
moral worth.
Although the Hall was so spacious,
they read their carefully prepared es
says with such distinctness that the large
assemblage could hear without the slight
est difficulty. Some of our most culti
vated people pronounced the essays of the
class vastly superior to those they were
accustomed to hear on like occasions.
The Baccaluareate address of Presi
dent Johnson was solid rather than
showy, elegant but not meretricious; at
times profoundly philosophical. In a
word it was all that could be desired. A
prominent citizen remarked to your cor
respondent, that it was the best, m matter
and manner, that he had ever heard
during his long residence in LaGrange.
The annual address was delivered by
Orriele A. Bell, Esq., of this city. His
theme, “The True, the Beautiful and the
Good,” was handled with marked ability.
It is not extravagant to characterize the
address, as at once scholarly and eloquent,
philosophical and yet practical to
degree that won universal admiration.
This closed a commencement day that
certainly has not been surpassed in this
community, since the “late unpleasant-
ness -” Sigma.
The first barrel of new flour that
reached Liverpool this year was made of
wheat grown in Georgia, and was shipped
from AugustA It arrived in Liverpool
on the 13th instant, the day when the first
new flour was made in Nashville. The
Liverpool Mercury states that it was the
wish of the shippers that the barrel
should be sold for the benefit of one of
the local charities, and this fact, coupled
with the circumstance that it was the first
arrival of American flour in 1874 in
duced a spirited bidding, which ultimate-

accompanied her down the stage to the
foot-lights, and would have daunted

and stately she advanced until she had
reached them, and there stood anun-
mistakable daughter of the Kembles—
tke same classic face and profile,
the same well-knit form, the same
stately movement and grandeur of pres
ence that had characterized all her race,
were taken in at a glance by all present,
and only tended to redouble the enthusi
asm of the reception. That over, they
quietly awaited to hear if she, the firstof
her family who had trodden the lyric
stage, could sing as well as look, and evi
dently was prepared to act the role she
was about to attempt. Her delivery of
the grand opening prayer, so well known
in the Italian original as “Casta Diva,”
and the ensuing caballetta, definitely and
immediately settled the question. No
customary plea for youthful inexperience
or. stage fright was needed. She gave
evidence at once of being a thoroughly
finished and accomplished artiste, who.
had been trained in the best modern Ital
ian school of singing, which is the only
true one, whatever may be said to the
contrary, and of which she was a marked
and grand exponent^

As we expected, Governor Ames has
commuted the sentence of John Ander
son, of Coffeeville, to imprisonment in
the penitentiary for life. This goes to
further prove that Ames will not allow a
negro to be hung in this State. There is
no doubt but he will also commute the
sentence of Henry Patrick, the Enter
prise murderer. If he does, we hope the
