toa 8 weli known tune, at the conclusion of
which Bishop II N McTye.re D D of
Nashville, arose and delivered the Com

liveredwith nil the power andoarnest-

pression on all who heard it. Its brevity
and difference from the neaal ntyle on

A prayer was offered by Bishop Pierce
which was a beautiful supplementary
clause to the discourse. ' * ' J
Another hymn, who. * 09

JUNIOR EXHIBITION.
The oollege ohapei was not bo well fill

of lut week to bear ins Junior® read, but.
a highly appreciative audience was gath
ered to et courage, with their smiles,
the fair young Jnniora who made their
first bow to the pnblio with original pro-
dno tone. . ,, ■.
The threatening state bf the weather
deterred many, and just at the time ap
pointed a gentle shower commenced tau
ing, compelling many to remain at home
who would otherwise have been P rea ' nf -
The exercises, which wore exceedingly
interesting, were opened with the "ifareA
del Tambours,” which was. played with
spirit by Aliases Howard, Tharp. Fielder
and Goodall. A prayer was offered fol-
lowed by aa instrumental duett,' "The
Jolly Blacksmiths” byr Misses M. E.
Johnston, Emma Davis, Wslthour and
' Eliz* Davie, and was well rendered,
Mies lone Barnes, of Opelika, Ala
bama, who bad received a place, was ex
cased by the faculty from reading.
The first reader was Miss Luofa E.
Brook, of LaFayetu, Alabama. “Monu
ments,’ was the chosen theme, and from
it the fair reader made a composition cf
Elnktng beauty. She read in a distinot
voice whose utterances were
Bolt and musical as the sound of a lute
and as clear a- th-- tc-uee of an evening
bell. She msdo oco of the most remark
ably eultnred readings we ever have
beard from a eoltegiao—so purs In ao-
eant and pronunciation, graceful and
n-odest in sntnrr, and happy in thenp-ht

read from the ohegastireeubj-ct, "Tho-

which was quite attractive, dramatic in
some of its sentences and well arranged
generall.y She read in a clear and strong
voice. .'
“An^iver8arie8' , by Miss Annie Hac-
Doaal, of Macon, was one of the best
compositions of the occasion, Her sub
jeot was a rich one, and was handled.with
case and grace. . Ia it were some senti
ments tender and touching. The birth-
day, especially the-day that made Judea
ecko with "glad tidirtg," the-" marriage
day. the days oTmourning, all werd ap-
propiiately spoken of, Then the anni
versaries of the birth and death of heroes,
and national celebrations and finally

"Life’s 8ilence,fts grandonr,’’formed the
basis of the composition of Mies Mavgie
McEvoy. of Macon, and from this sub
ject she read an interesting composition,
was listened to with pleasure, and won
the loud plaudits’ of the audience.
Tae ssng "Hannah is in the Window
Binding Shoes.” was most beautifully
snog by Miss Ethel Crippen, of Macno.
8ao is one of the most rumarkaby fin-
young vocalists that oas been in the col
lege ia years. The ballad is one of
Hutcbinson’s best and its fall beanty,
its soft and load cadences were rendered
with rare expression by the yonng vocal
ist. Her voice is a pure contralto of
richness and compass. The audience
insisted on an encore with great enthu
siasm. Miss Mattie C. Bosh, of Talbot
county, told of the "Disguises of the
Beutifal.” Her theme was bsauty and
her composition like the pnhj«ct beauti
ful. Sbexeau itiaauff na„a an J graceful
manner.
A double trio, "Farewell.” with a solo
by Mis* P.iugls was the n- xc attraction
was sung to the evident satisfaction ot
the audience.
Tre last composition was read by Mias
Minnie r.'Wooieu, of Albany, Georgia
and was a remarkable piece of imagina
tion, clothed in elegant and flowery lan
guage and read in a very attractive man-
net- .
The subject was "A Bunch of Keys,"

into an enchantqd — Jo- und found four
xeys which opened the gateways to

^ An inttrumental duett, "Li Fanfare
de3 Dragons,” by Misses Brewster, Pe
terson, Rash and Brock, was quite well
played.
Misa Laura T. Bennett, of, Camilla,
read a compoeition on the "Three
Boxes.” Her composition revealed that
thoy were the cartridge bor, the band-
box and bailor; box, and the influence of
eaca were p r rajid with much v.v.dne e
by the fair reader.
Miea SaUie Bead Brantley, of Sanders-

‘Tb»-re is » turned down page in every

close of her reading by an extraordinary
numbar of floial tributes. J

London, June 16.—The Times’ finan
cial article, referring to the condition of
the money market, says difficulties are
still apprehended in the Provinces, and
some vi-ry heavy failures would probably
have occurred before now, but for the
fact that the provincial banks interested
prefer to htlD their customers for the
time being, rather to let it bo thought
that they have made any losses. What
would, in ordinary circumstances, have
been failures, have by the help thus af
forded, been, in somo instances, turoecj
into a kind of forced private liq
uidation.* All this is well knownin the
city, and makes money lenders moreens-
picions and cautious than ever. A real
revival of trade; and a brisk demand- for
money would probably, reveal enough
weakness or insolvency in several quar
ters to amply justify the caution now -ex
ercised. ’

ness for action. The committee will re
port that Bayard is inflexibly, opposed to
any compromise cr concessions’ what
ever, and insists that the bill
shall be left in the hands _ of
the committee for mature consideration
at the next session of Congress. If his
party colleages think it advisable to force
action upon the measure, in opposition to
his cont--cientious conviction, they mast
accept his resignation.
The Senato Judiciary Committee con

sesms that the meat was thrown, oyer

was taken very ill, with evety symptom
of poison absorbed, it is supposed, from
the food he had handled, and then eaten
after throwing away the bacon. Oesc. t? j

but without effect. It then became evi

twenty-four hours; being entirely uncon
scious ten hours of that time. Olose
