Misses
From ah Exceedingly early hour dashing
I equippages and hurrying throngs were wend*
; ing their respective ways towards the great
l Literary rendezvous, 'every one anxious to
j proctiie-h desirable seat, every one anxious
1 to see evevhody and hear everything which
could i« seen and heard on this gala day of
■ a gala week. The “ dress circle * of the
c!m|iel skirted hv a most substantial railing, was
fill-d with chairs and stools and presented

bright faced ly,ie. Tile |iarquet with its
sea of upiurneit faces, brilliant colors and
flwhingjan* . lancing the belter skelter of a
well ilevclojied June day and busily stirring
up the*rithtnl sultry air ot it teeming
house, presented a variegated scene. The
! large window walls were scalloueAwith human
tJie borders of the' j&fc wjp
1 graced upon the one side with the faculty
and upon the other with the honored trustees,
ministers of the gospel and members of the
press. Judging from the jam in the house,
however, all the members of the press could
not possibly have been upon the stage. The
tiers of beauty which crowned this animat*
ed scene, arising one above the other remind
ed us of extended rounds oL Jacob’s ladder
with the exception, however, tint in this
instance the angels, instead of ascending and
descending remaiued stationary, so Ioog as
their “ figitivc ’’ natures allowed them so to
be.. The little girls, the “ small fry ^ who
had finished their part of the week’s doiugs,
Mete stored away up high, out of every*
hod/s wav, hut their own. The Fresh and
Sophs occupied the lower rows, the Juniors
were arrayed in a bewkrSiing semi-circle at
the foot of the steps, while immediately
in front, clad in snowy white, rivaling the
lilies of the field in loveliness if not in gor

She auae forward before the audience
clothed in all the intefisi which the occasion
could inspire. The youngest child of the
gallant apd lamented son of Georgia, the
founder of the Institution from whose portals!
she was now about to pass, elicited the
closest attention from her hearers. Miss
“ Birdie’’ was equal to the occasion however,!
and to say that she met the expectation of her
friends and realized the fondest hopes of I
her relatives is but to re-echo the sentiment
ot our entire community. In a clear and
musical voice, her beautiful 44 leaflets’* were
unfolded and woven artistiailly afound
into nn elegant rhetorical chaplet.
lit clcring this account, which is necessa
rily imported, we cannot refrain from again
alluding to the faitlifnl t«U-hers of Lucy
Cobb, to wliose. untiring dnA weH-dirovted
efforts the prosperity of the Institute is ow
ing. This Commencement is a most sig
nal coronation of their year’s bibor. May
their days of usefulness and of happiness bo
many.
To that chivalric gentleman of the
Foard of Trustees, Maj. Lamar Cobb, we
extend our thanks for many courtesies and
favors. His management of the-exercises,
from beginning to end, has been excellent,
and it is greatly on account of his energy
and ability, Which are displayed not omy
upon these fNiblic occasions, but unceasing
ly throughout the yeiw,' ibitf
presided over by such. worthy Principals
and accomplished assistants, is to-dpy Jthe
boast of Athens, tne pHde of Georgia, and
one of the finest female colleges in the Itfnd.

teen hright-eyea glanced .timidly at the ex*
pectant audience, thirty two gloved hands
nervonsly toyed with their ribboned raauu*
scripts, sixteen fond hearts beat sadly at the
thought that for the last time, perhaps
u|mn any earthly scene they appeared toge
ther.
After the Lucy Cobb Institute march,
composed for the occasion by Prof. Amende,
Miss Susie Miltou, of Florida, came forward
with a French salutatory. The French itself
seemed to be smooth and literal, the accent
pure aud the words rolled forth like a clear
sparkling stream, bearing upon its surface
! au unknown, yet fascinating song.
Diffidently, yet no less delightfully read,
was “ Woman’s Mission,” by Miss Hattie
, Fowler, of Atlan'a. Pretty 'thoughts borne
j m J npon the petals of well chosen words nestled
j like violets in a mossy bed, and added a
Act s,veet inexpressible charm.
“ Tlio words that bear a mission liigb,
It music hallowed never die.”
By Miss Ida Dorsev, of Athens, was nicely
done. The conception of tlie beautiful sub

Miss Amis Beusse, of Athens, came forth-
was the task of Mi ss Tallulah uemns, of
Esitontou, the charming Valetlictorian.
Should we do that duty which our feelings
dictate, we would attempt a synopsis of
this essay, but since such would bud spoil,
its beauty and mar its symmetry, we refrain.
The Valedictory was an echo of the soul’s
"deepest sentiment; the tributes to Mrs.
Wnght and Mr. Heard, the principals, were
feeling and affectionate; to the Trustees,
appropriate; to her classmates, very aff -ct-
ittg, indeed. Several members of the Press,
we noticed, appropriated some of the senti
ment to theinselves, when she was address*
ing the Trustees. This was proper, and we
suggest that in the tuture, some provision
be""made for the “ reportorial farewell.”
After the graduating song, Mr Heard,
by virtue of the authority in him vested
by the Charter of the Lucy Cobb Institute,
presented diplomas to the following young
ladies, with annexed d.-grees.

Editor Georgian, There has beeu a very
destructive Arind blowing arouud in ourcoun*
ty recently Avhose evils are almost innumera
ble and its marks upon man aud.beast ore
piaiuly visible. I don’t know whether doc
tors will term it an "epidemic nr pestilence,
but be that as it may, I will simply relate
some of its effects and then prescribe its cure.
Wherever it blows in our land it.cieites
trouhlo between landlords aud tenants.
It demoralizes labor geuerally, it produces
poverty in man atul beast, it saddens the
faces of your wile aud children, it fills our
communities Avith caie of ail grades, it is the
occasion of robbery and murders, and fills
our prisons and courts Avith offendera against
law atid order This wind, he it known, it
not tin the form of a tornado, but is a de
ceptive eddy as it ivere, aud gets one
under its influence before they are aware of
its proximity or can shun its evil effects. It
is n false economy and a fhlse system of
farming, ivhich must be-stopped of our
country will be totally ruined. This, gentle
reader," is the ivind which passes through the
cracks of every earn crib and meat houses.
Now Mr. Editor disclaiming any learning, I
ivill nevertheless give my receipt for dodging
this ivind. My prescription is a mixture of
the folloAving ‘preparations in farming: 3 5
sav. in corn, 1-5 in small grain; and now

Marriage of Mr. J. T. Arnold and
Miss Eugenia IIill.—Few more brilliaut
marriages take place than the one witnessed
last evening in tiiis city, at the residence of
Gen. D. H. Hill, the bride’s father. The
bride, Miss Eugenia Hill, ivns one of the
most cultivated and accomplished young
ladies in this section of the State. Her
cordial manner, modest demeanor and natu
ral kindness of heart, had rendered her uni
versally popular wherever knoivn; and be
sides being connected with the • largest and
most influential family in the State, the
wedding was attended with more than the
usual interest upon such occasions. Tho
groom, Mr. Thomas Jackson Arnold, a
nephew of the lamented Stoneivall Jackson,
is a young lawyer of talent, from West Vir
ginia, and we not only congratulate him upon
tlie prize lie has secured, but the people of
his State upon this new and charmiug addi
tion to their society. One, the daughter of
the brave and daring IIill, the other,,the
nephew of the immortal Jackson, conspicu
ous officers in the Confederate cause, it is not
surprising that quite a number of admiring
relatives and friends assembled to give their
smites aud encouragement to the happy
couple upon this most important event of
their lives. The attendants weie as follows:
