FRIDAY'S DISPATCHES.
Commencement Exercise* ot Le Vert
Female College.
Editors TdgrafJi and Messenger; Being
present at the annual literary entertainment of
the abore college, located la the healthy and
beautiful little town cf Talbotton, and knowing
your column* are extensively read in thoae re
gion* where »he doe*, and ahould legitimately
draw more pa'ronage; and being so protonodiy
impressed with tho merit* of the college, I bare
conclodod to writo a abort letter, aettirg forth a
few faola.
The elimination came off last week, and waa
quite aatUfaetory to the committee and patrons
present. Dr. J. S. Kay preached the baoca-
laureate eermou last Sunday, lives a disoonrse
of much merit and full of the morrow of rarpe!
truth.
The sophomore select readings took place on
Monday, and the prize* awarded to Misses
Spam snd Leonard were presented by Mr.
Henry Persons, acoompaoied with remarks ap*
propoe—crrudite and instructive, on the art of
reading.
The Junior* read their oompoailions on Tues
day—an interesting olaw that indicate* a rich
programme another year.
On commencement day (Wednesday) eight
young ladies appeared and read their final com-
positions, to-wtt: Misses Ella Dickson, Lonla
Daniel, Annie G tire alb, Ida Leonard and Aman
da Fiemlng, of Talbot oonnty, and Mtsa Maddie
JtajH of Mm.oogae; Mias Mollie Owen, of
Harris; and Miss Minnie Tidwell, of Crawford.
Misa Fleming read the valedictory. There waa
a rich rein of lbongbt expressed is a pnre, ele
vated style in moat all of these compositions—
an ease and grsoe in the young ladies' move
ments that evoked admiration from the large
and elite audience in attendance. Mr. ti. K.
Glenn, of Colambos, delivered the annnal lit
erary address.
It was prorand and classical, and both logical
and rbetorioah Mr. G.lit graduate of Athena
and a student of rsre talents and attainments.
He deplored the fact that both young men and
ladies leaving college, abandoned tboir pursuit
of knowledge aid entered degrading and un
moral contests—the one for * fi thy lucre,’* the
other for position and light amusements of the
day. We refer such of your readers as have a
desire to read these excellent and instructive
literary addresses of Measra Tenons and Glenn,
to the Columbus Enquirer, fer which paper I
have secured their publication.
This enjoyable oocaslon closed out with a
grand levee at tho College Hall Wednesday
night
President Mangat, a most worthy and com
petent instructor of youth, assisted by a learned
corps of teachers, ha* charge of LeVert College.
And while we appreciate the high claim« of
other institutions, I am free to aay no parent
or guardian will ever have oocaslon to regTet
tbs sending of their daughter* or wards to Le
Vert. The moral, social and educational train
ing will all be realized In the charming little
town of Talbotton that they oan secure any
where else. Yoon, J. W. Buncoss.

"Sir," said a UU, thin man, dad in * wora,
very ahinlng garb, auddenly appearing in the
room, "I have ventured to call to lay before yon
one of the most astonishing inventions cf mod
em times." They all begin in some each Im
pressive w»y as that "A gas burner, air." I
waa bnsy arranging some papers in a oorcer,
and havmg both bands fall, with a pen held
crossways in my month, I was fox the moment
quite at his mercy. 'Terhaps. air, you are
aware that in the case of every kind of burner
but this I show you, gas gives a most noxious
effluvium, Laving a peculiarly ruinous effect
upon tho eyesight." By this time I had emptiod
my hands and mouth, and was advancing open
him. Fixing his eyes opon mine, he started
neck in diatreaafol horror. “Heaven help ns,
air," ho exolalmed, “how you have suffered al
ready! Your sight, air, would not laat six
months longer. This most sot be."
Before I could say a word or raise** finger to
stop him, be rapidly glided past me to the table
on which the lamp stood. With a nimbleness
whioh rooted me to the spot in apprehension,
he whipped off tbo shade, then the old bnrner;
in a moment the lamp was a rain. “It is a
mcroy of Providence, air, that I happened to

Numerous picnic parties passed the day In the

raded in fol! regalia, and marched to the
Schsntzen Park, where they held a picnic, which
waa attended be a large number. The oolored
Sunday school Union held their annual oelebra-
tion at Lincoln Hall, and the Catholic colored
Sunday-school oelebrated the day in white, on
the lot south of the Executive Mansi ml
A fine breeze was blowing all day, snd the
weather much mors oom fort able than y e» erday.
The President will return d rect to Long
Jirsneh from Kantoeky, and not be in W*amr.g

“Stop !** I called. “Replace everything as it
was. inatanUy."
“The number of cases of premsture blind
ness," be calmly proceeded, “that I have had
tho gratification of preventing makes my labor
• moat pleasant one."
Thinking bo might bo deaf, I bawled: “I
don't want your bnrner; I wen’s have it; take
it eff,” for ho was lightly twirling tho new ono

“There, sir, yon will feel thankful to mo as
long as yon live! Tbo only thing that Double*
me in the matter is, I know I am ruining the
•pectado makers."
“Do yon hear?" I asked. “I shall not pay
yon for it."
Ho strnok a very effective attitude. “Pay
menl! of whnt consequent is that ? I coni J not
remove that Inestimable burner for any amonnt
of money, when tho alternative is the rain of
yoar valuable eyesight. For, air, yonr eyes are
worth many bnrnera. I make yon a present
of it willingly. I am a poor man, under heavy
travelling expenses, and I have a family in
want." He sighed. “Bat doty shall bo done.
Tbo price is threepence half-penny, or three
shillings a dozen. 1 know yon will regret this
rnomeiutAry harshness in the long year* to

that burner. But that is not my affair, though
I am sorry to think of It. Good morning, air.
If at any timo, no matter how long an interval,
by some inoouooivable accident anything ahould
become out Of order in it, you will find the
name of tbe manufacturers stamped on the

well known house la Glasgow, and a man will
Instantly be sent to attend to It."
I was besten. This offer to send a man from
Scotland into the heart of Eagtend, after the
lapse of years, to pnt a gratuitously bestowed
threepenoc-nalf-penny gas burner to right was
too muob for me. I hid to mako a purchase.—

How Largo fa California?
When a Califjrnlan visits the Eastern States
he has the oonoeit taken out of him by finding
how little attention is given to his State, and
what a small place it oocuplet relatively in the
minds of those whe have never socn tho Paeifio
coast. He can fall back at least upon hla square
mile* and acres. It Is not a State so much as
an Empire, with it* 188,981 square miles, or
120,947,^00 acres. A recent authority makes
the following showing':
Tbe oombined area of the six New England
Slates is but 0.3,348 square miles, allowing that
California has an area almost three times as
great as this division of tho Republic. ■■
The area of tbe six Middle btatca^New York,
New Jersey, PenneyIvania, Delaware, Mary
land and Went Virginia—is 137,364 sqnare miles,
showing that tti«< *u .. of Cnl.fo.rm* i.i • .'-17
square miles larger than this section. i '
Tbe entire area of tbe twelve States forming
the N«w England and Middle States is 205,812
sqnare miles, showing that California contains
an area almost asgTeat as tho twelve States. It I
i* 73,135 square miles larger than the wholo of
Great Britain, the latter being 110,846 square
miles. It would make twenty*four States tbe
size of Massachusetts, leaving 2,781 square
miles; the area of California would mako one
hundred and forty-five Slates as large as the
State of Rhode Island.
4 ‘What is tho ante of your farm?" said a hard-
fisted New England farmer, who had become
rich on two hundred acres, to a Californian who
had gone home on a visit. “About fifteen thou
sand acres," was the reply. He told tbe truth, |
but he lost his reputation for veracity, for no
man living in Rhode Island has yet been able
to conce.ve of a single farm having such an Smj
mense area.—San Francisco Bulletin.
Tnx Gaxa? Coax. Folds ot tux Would.—
There are three countries in whioh the coal de
posits cover an immense area—America, Eng
land and China. Of these China has by far the
largest. Including the Island of Formosa, the ex
tent of the Chinese ooal field is one hundred and
twenty-seven thousand square miles. America
comes next, with one hundred and thirteen thou
sand equate miles. The measurement of twelve
thousand square miles for England is, however,
deoeptive. The Ecg’ish coal teams do not
oover a very large extent of ground, it Is true,
but they are of remarkable thickness. In com
parison with these three great coal-producing
countries, the Continent of Europe is anything
but riahin this indispansable^ fuel. Germany
posse* only nine thousand, Spain eight thou
sand, France two U.onsacd, and Ba'glnm one
thousand two hundred square milea of area.
The Cbmeee ooal is almost untouched. No rail
roads penetrate tbe district in which it lies; no
adequate mean* of transportation are near. It
it a vast unde veloped storehouse for future use,
when the mine* of the West are exhausted.
A Nrw Stot*.—A fire-proof atoTd for use in
passenger oars eapaoialiy, was subjected to a
severe teat in Borneo, recently. Tne stove is
made of wrought and malleable iron. It ia cir
cular in form, oompo*«i of three upright cylin
ders and two oold-alr boxes at the bottom. Hie
fnel is pi&oed in the inner cylinder. The cold
air ro-hing through the cold-air boxes drive*
hot air outward and upward through the cylin
ders, the rounded form g.vmg * > c ry powerful
radiation. The heat escapee through a register
in the back. Tbe whole is firmly bound together
with atrong iron bolts. The doors are fastened
by patent locks. At the trial tbe stove, after
the fire in it was well underway, was thrown from
the staging upon which it was placed to the
ground, a distance of six feet- It was then
rolled about, tumbled over and over, but not a
spark of the fire waa spilled upon the shavings
which were scattered around. Wheq tho stove
£oor was opened the Are was burning briskly.

Boston, July 4.—Butler made an electioneer
ing speech to a large temperanoe convention
.n Framingham to dsy. It was directed agiinst
monopolists snd special legislation. He did not
•ri.riiit himself to iia approval or disapproval
of the prohibition temperance laws, bnt declared
as long as they were on the statute book they
should be enforced.

Madrid, July 4.—A draft of the new oonnli-
tution wav submitted to tbe Cortes to day by
the oommiUee appointed to draw np the meas
ure. It provides that the President of tho Re
public most have been bom on Spanish terri
tory, and bo twenty years of age.
The oountry is divided into cantons, like tbe
Swiss Republic. The Assembly of each canton
is to elect fonr Senators and deputies—they to
be chosen by universal suffrage.
Cuba and Porto Rico are to be assimilated to
each canton of Spain. The central power is
authorized to suspend (he constitutional guar
antee*, and order loviea for troops without first
consulting the authorities of the canton.
Npanlah Distresses.
Madrid. Jaly 4.—The Progressionist Club
suspended sittings because all constitutional
guarantees are suspended. The government
has decided to disband the soldier* whose terms
of service hr*ve expired, and to offer them two
real* dally to re-enlist, and if the result is un
satisfactory to appeal to the patriotism of tbe
r nntry to till tbe ranks, and state frankly the
situation and means of saving Spain.
A Campaign Nermon.
As illustrative of the temper of tbe American
pulpit of Mr. Jefferson's dsy, Mr. Patton tel!s
this story of Dr. John Mason, who was then tbe
sensational preacher of New York. An Inter
esting character was this Dr. Mason, if we may
believe the aneodotes still told of him by old
inhabitants of New York. What a scene must
that have been when he paused, in the midst of
one of his ronsirg Fast Day sermons, and, rais
ing his eyes and hands to heaven, bnrst into
impassioned supplication, “Send ns, if Thou
wilt, murrain npon our cattle, a famine upon
our land, cleanness of teeth in onr borders;
send ca peatilenoe to waste our cities; send us,
if it pleases Thee, the sword to bathe itself in
the blood of our sons; but spare ns, Lord God
Most Meroif q1, spare ns that curse—moet dread
ful of all curses—an Alliance with Napoleon Bo
naparte." An eye-witness reports that as the
preacher uttered theso words, with all the en
ergy of frantic apprehension, the blood guBhed
from his nostrils. He pnt bis handkerchief to
bis face without knowing what he did, and, in
stantly resuming his gesture, held tbe bloody
handkerchief aloft, as if it were tho symbol of
the horrors he foretold. To such a point, in
those simple old days, oould campaign fake hood

Women as Laborers in Vienna.—I have be
fore aiiuded to the fact that women perform the
hardest kind of laboring work in Germany, bnt
was not prepared for the sights I have witness
ed to*d ly in Vienna. In America mixing mor
tar and carrying the hod is considered each
haxd woxk that few white men can be found
willing to undertake it at the present day. An
immense building near onr hotel, occupying a
whole biock, is in course of ereotion, on whicb
no less than 490 persons are employed, fnlly
200 of whom are women,. All the hard labor
ing work is done by women, such as making and
carrying mortar in backets on their heads to the
workmen, and handling tbe brick, They aro
not allowed a moment's leisure, several over
seers being on guard to keep them constantly
in motion. We found the same proportion of
women at work on all the new baildings, and
there must be many thousands of them to-day
doing this rpecies of laboring work in Vienna.
They are both young, middle aged and old, but
all seem to be strong and healthy. At dinner
time they swarm into tbe shops to purchase a
piece of brown bread, snd eat their dinners sit
ting on she curbstones. The wages is one florin,
or 43 oents per dsy, and I am assured by a gen
tleman resident here that most of them sleep
aboul the building on shavings, or in barns or
sheds, having no homes. It is not to be won

the lying-in hospitals of Vienna lew tLan 500
are of children born In wedlock.—Correspond

You can always tell a boy whose mother cuts
his hair. Not beosn9e tbe edges of it lock as if
it had been chewed off by an absent-minded
horse, bnt yon tell it by the way he stop* on
the street, and wriggles his shoulders. When
a fond mother has to ent her boy's bair, she ia
careful to guard against any annoyance and
mum by laying a sheet on the carpet. It has
naver yet oocnrred to her to sit him over a bare
door, and pnt the sheet around his neck.
Then she draws the front hair over his eye* and
leaves it there while she cut* that which is at
the back. The hair which liej over his eyes
appears Xo be surcharged with electric needles,
and that whioh is silently dropping down un
der his shirt band appears to be on fire. She
has unconsciously continued to push his head
forward nntil his no*e presses his breast, and is
too basily engaged to notice the snuffling sound
that is becoming alarmingly frequent. In tbe
meantime he is seized with an irresistible de
sire to blow his nose, bnt reooilecta that his
handkerchief is in other room. Then a fly lights
on bis nose, and does it so unexpectedly that he
involuntarily dodges, and catches the point of
the shears in his left ear. At this he commences
to cry and wishes he was a man. Bnt his mother
doesn't notice him. She merely bits him on
other ear, to inspire him with confidenee, and
goes on with the work. When she is through
she bolds his jacket ooilsr back from bis neck,
and with her month blow* tbe short bits of hair
from the top of his head down his back. He
i« her attention to this foot, bat she looks for
a new pise* on his head and hits him there, and
