nUST DAV.
idjst^udiEg tho heat amt the dost, tb 6
nnm ijet of people who were drawn to the
on yesterday, evinced tho interest that
jn the ejerci-es. As nsnal the occasion
***btoeght many people to our city, and the
k* 8 i was crowded with a fashionable and
ffieen t andienco.
1 u%6 entered the hall the graduating class
■“ n the stage while a march was being
C > ffie i and we hardly think any one who was
r S ^nt will contradict ns when we say, that a
fveUer procession was never seen than when
“ class filed in. The graduates number thirfy-
tho largest class that has ever gradnated
(be Institution was chartered. -
' R'liere tIie o<> m P ositions were so excellent,
• - 3 hard to discriminate, bnt we hope wo are
-liable if wo make spedial mention of those
f Hiss Reese, of Newnan,. who read the Salu-
jiiss Rogers, of Thomaston; MissBy-
mib of Dooly county; Miss Evans, of Savan-
■ r ' an j jiigses Goodall and Howes, of Macon.
I The' Salutatory was written in exquisite Btyle,
usd the ingenins manner in which the subjects
f ftbe various compositions were brought in,
°as very striking. Miss Evans clothed the
little blind god with more rascality andmean-
EC ss (ban we, in our simplicity, ever dreamed
f and Miss Goodall panished tho devotees of
fashion capitally; but it was reserved for Miss
Howes to “bring down the house.” Her com-
option on “Altitudinarianism” was most
“philosophically" wrought, and the conclusion
orodneed much merriment and several encores.
Professor Whitney deserves many thanks for
the very creditable music his class furnished
for the occasion. Tho selections were good;
and the voices of sweetest tone.
After the reading of the compositions the
“Endowment Association” of the College made
a report through their Secretary, when tho
President, Dr. Key, addressed the audience,
and was followed by Dr. Hicks in a very happy
speech of a few minutes. Bishop GeorgoP.
Pierce then presented the claims of the College,
which was responded to by tho audience, Col.
Nutting, of Macon, leading off in his usual lib
eral way.
To-morrow will conclude (he exercises, when
the degrees will he conferred. The following
was the programme of the day:
grand march in norma.
Miss S. Burge, Miss L Evans, Miss E. Jor

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES—SECOND DAT.
Another hot sweltering day—the hottest,
dntiest of the season, and another crowded,
jammed Hall were the disagreeable features of
the commencement of IS71; bnt aside from
that, our visitors and citizens have enjoyed the
exercises as any refined people might enjoy a
real intellectual treat.
The young ladies have done themselves jus
tice—they have shed additional lustre upon the
time-honored College, and carried joy and
pride to the hearts of their many friends.
Each pupil, as she stepped, yesterday, upon
the threahhold of young ladyhood, might well
congratulate herself upon the honor she has
^achieved and tho bright record she has made
for herself in the past four years. Faculty,
Trustees and public have cicuse to feel gratified
also.
We hardly feel willing to add one word of
criticism to a single composition, as it would al
most be an effort at painting lillies. They
wero all good, whilst one or two of them were
the best wo ever heard on such an occasion.
We believe the young ladies of the graduating
class will agree with ns themselves, that Miss
T«ila Ross read the composition of the day. It
was humorous in stylo, but there was an under
went of good sound sense and rhetorical de
fiance running through it that charmed while it
delighted and amused her hearers. If we had
the space to spare, it would give us real pleasure
to allude thus specially to tho productions of
each of tho young ladies, bnt we can only repeat
*hat all of them were good.
The eddress of Rev. Dr. Tuoker was a most
•hie and admirable effort, really one of the
best we ever heard delivered before a gradu-
•ting class of yonng ladies." Thus closed the
moat brilliant and we may say the most satis
factory scholastic term, to the officers, friends
and patrons of the Wesleyan Female College,
known to its history. It is an institution to.
*™ch the city of Macon can point wifh pride
and affection, and its claims as a college for
young ladies is co-extensIve with the South. 1

The Annunl Concert.—It is conceded by all
who were present at the grand annnal concert
of the yonng ladies of the Wesleyan Female
College, on Tuesday evening last, that, it was
the most brilliant musical entertainment'ever
given in the College Chapel, both as to the
character of the eolections and'the array of mu
sical talent engaged in it The songs were all
good, those of Miss Renfroe and Miss Wight
particularly so. The duetts, trios and'quartettes
were also exceedingly fine, while a few of the in
strumental pieces, especially that of the “Anvil
Chorus,” fromllTrovatoro, would be creditable
to anybody, or any institution. Daring the
ovening several of the young ladies were most
enthusiastically encored by the large and fash
ionable audience present. We append the pro
gramme, with the remark that Professor Whit
ney and his able corps of assistants in the music
department of the College may justlyfeel proud
of their triumph of Tuesday evening, and the
exceedingly creditable manner in which their
pupils acquitted themselves:

A Diceens Worshiper.—Kate Fields, in her
interesting reminiscences, tells of a woman who
absolutely worships Dickens, burning a candle
under his portrait as Catholics bum candles at
the household shrine3 of the Virgin. She read3
nothing but Dickens, and when the great man
came to America she wrote to him requesting to
know whether ho intended to visit the West.
Receiving a reply in Dickons’ own handwriting,
her joy knew no bonnds, and as her hero could
not leave tho East; she declared her intention
of going to New York. Jones, her hnsband,
demurred, bnt upon being waked up one night
and told that if he did not give the money to travel
like a Christian she would walk,—Jones succumb
ed. Mrs. Jones went to New York, had a private
interview with Dickens, attended several of his
readings, and returned home more rabid than
ever. When the telegraph brought the news of
Dickon’s sudden decease, she mourned for her
dearest friend. Not many months after, Mrs.
Jones’ sister died. Owing to tho illness of this
sister’s husband, whom she was obliged to nurse,
Mrs. Jones could not attend the funeral, and
on the return of the other members of the fami
ly, they found her reading in a tearful voioe to
the sick and bereaved man. Was it the bible ?
No, Pickwick 1 and as a relative approached
the bed Mrs. Jones burst into tears, exclaiming,
“The saddest part of it all is to think that dear
Sarah died before I had finished reading Martin
Chuzzlewit to her; and now she’ll never—never
—never know how it ends 1 O, it is too bad 1”
This is an “ower true tale.”
The Siamese Twins.—The Raleigh Telegram,
of the 4th, says one of the Siamese Twins is
lying at tho point of death. The other is in
good health. In anticipation of death, ar
rangements are made for the immediate separa
tion of the living from the dead brother.
Commercial Instinct.— Dugald— “Did ye
hoar that, Sawney McNab was ta’en up for
stealin’ a Coo?” Donald—“Hoot, toot, the
stipitbodie! Could he no bochtit an’ no paid
for’t.?”—Punch.
At a recent wedding in Warsaw, Illinois,
among tho refreshments served were a bottle of
wine and a loaf of cake prepared for the wed
ding of the bride’s mother over twenty years
ago. ,
“ Butler’s victims ” have just eaten their an
nual dinner at Milneburg, La. The single
qualification for membership in this clnb iB to
have been imprisoned by tho Essex Congress
man. -
A Boston paper writing of a recent address
there, says: “The discourse was an hour in
length, and was listened to with ability.”
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
OBITUARY.
Died, in Wilkinson county, Ga., on the 6th inst.,
little Fannie Marion, only daughter of B H. and
Pennie Carswell, about fifteen months of age. .
Though but a babe, little Fannie gave promise
of being all that ia lovely—sweet and good. But a
few moments before her little eon! took ita flight on
angel’s wings, anddeath’s dark pall o’erspread her
dear face, a thrill of renewed animation lent life to
her feverish form, giving strongth’to cast one long,
sweet and lovely glance at her devoted and heart-
bleeding parents, as if desiring to say, “weep no
more, dear mama and papa, I am with angela now
whore the weary rest in glory and peace forever
more.”
And when we saw thee, daughter, in that sleep
From which there is no waking,.
And felt as then we gazed, Fannie; on thee,
Our very hearts were breaking.
Oh! can it be that in that land
Where there is no more pain,
We may once more united be,
Never to part again. J ‘

too well known, and has established itself as the
PLANTER’S FAVORITE. As there Is no comparison
between a cast and a WROUGHT IRON SCREW, we
do not recommend OAST IRON 80REWS, though we
make them for those wanting a CHEAP Press.

ICAL WONDER. This wonderful mechanical achievement- in point .of RAPIDITY and LIGHTNESS
of DRAUGHT, STANDS WITHOUT A.RIVAL, andis destined at an early day to supersede ALL OTH

Gentlemen : I bought one of your Eclipse Screw Cotton Presses early the present season, and have
pressed nearly the whole of my cotton crop with it, and so far it has given entire satisfaction. I am well
pleased with it and think it a good Press, and an improvement npon any and all other Presses now in use.

Deak Sms: In reply to yours of yesterday, I have to say that tho Eclipse CottowScrew, purchased of
you, has performed admirably; I like it better than any screw I have over used.-
. Yours, vety truly, r G. M. STORES.
Since last fall, and before accepting Patent, we added improvements and labor-saving conveniences—
rendering it PERFECT in eveiyparticular. This screw, or pin, has a pitch, or faU; of 6% inches; that
is, at every torn of the screw, follower block descends (or ascends, as the case may be) 6% inches.
The devioe of the tube or nut In which the screw works, is such as to materially reduce the friction, so
great in the common screw: thereby rendering it an easy task for three hands to pack a bale of cotton
in HALF THE TIME of ANY OTHER Iron Screw Press by horse-power. [See J. L. Gilbert’s certifi
cate). When desirable, an ordinary mule can be substituted for three men without change of fixtures.
(ScrewPresses also arranged for water and steam power). We claim for the “ECLIPSE” SIMPLICITY.
STRENGTH, DURABILITY, RAPIDITY. LIGHT DRAUGHT,, and STANDING ROOM at top of box
etc., etc.; in short, ire pronounce it the BEST Screw Press IN THE WORLD, and respectfully invite a
public teet wit any and all other Screw Presses.. To purchasers, we GUARANTEE SATISFACTION or
REFUND PRICE MONEY. Orders daily received from different States attest its popnlaritv even in in
fancy. To parties who may not desire Buch rapidity in packing, we can supply them with the COMMON
WROUGHT IRON SCREW of fine (slow) pitch, and warrant them equal to any other Wrought Screw
manufactured. But above aU others we recommend the strong, rapid, light draught “ECLIPSE.”

CRAIG’S PATENT^ HORSE POWER,
FOR 3DHIVI3XTG COTTON GZN8.
FOB GINNING COTTON, CRAIG’S HORSE POWER is as far in advance of the ordinary Gin Gear
as the ordinary Gin Gear is in advance of ALL THE OTHER HOJBSE .POWERS now advertised and

The above Horse Power has proven, by actual teBt, to be the most simple, durable, economical, and

WE GUARANTEE W0RKMMSHIP, MATERIAL AND PERFORMANCE.
And further, we will legally obligate core elves to REFUND PRICE MONEY where machine fails to
perform satisfactorily.
We challenge any and all Inventors and Makers of Horse Powers, to meet ns in an actual test, and
produce the equal of this Machine for driving a Cotton Gin.
We manufacture two sizes—No J tor driving 50 and 60 Saw Gin; No. 2 for 40 and 45 Saw Gin. This
Power will speed a Gin, having an frinch pulley, (standard size), THEE HUNDRED REVOLUTIONS
