As a fitting finale to the com mencement exercises at Young Fe male College, was the delightful con cert on Wednesday night in the chapel, hy the music class of Miss Sophie Jones, tho accomplished Prin cipal of the Music Department of thc institution. The programme em braced many rare musical gems, both vocal and instrumental, and we much regret that space will not allow ns to notice each of thc performers. Long before the hour for the open ing of the concert, eight o’clock, the chapel was densely packed by the parents and friends of the class. Thc rear and sides of the stage were beau tifidly and artistically decorated with ferns, vines, evergreens and flowers, while from the ceiling hung a number of baskets filled with plants and flow ers. The eficct was very pleasing The good natured audience waited patiently for Messrs. Hawkins and Drcyer to draw thc curtains, which would disclose the class in a chorus song. Promptly thb young ladies and thc little tots, bright little rose buds, fragrant with sweetness and crowned with purity, marched on the stage and sang: “Oh! .Softly Rii Bright Summer Moon,” by Straus The class received an ovation ; and they deserved it. The following young ladies and misses took part in the program : Misses Norma Bike, Livic Fitting Dora Dekle, Annie Carroll, Lizzie Carroll, Rosa Flcisher, Mill)’ Finish or, Eva Jennings, Ollie Horn, Rosa lie Levy, Willou Thomas, Dais}' De kle, Daisy Mitchell, Nellie Pringle, Ruth Mitchell, Mary Stephens, Nora Millsnp, Nellie Jennings and May Day Dekle. The song, "Bend of the River,” hy Miss Nortna Rike, was loudly encor ed. Miss Rike re-appeared and gave the audience another verse. ‘ A Bird From O’er the Sea,” by Miss Dora Dekle, was also encored, when thc young lady gracefully rc [sponded to tlie repeated calls’ The "Three Old Maids,” hy Misses Dekle, Pringle and Horn, brought down the house. They, too, were re called and had to sing again. "Market Day,” by the class, was charmingly given, each girl coquet- tislily carrying a basket of flowers on her arm. "Sometimes Think of Me,” by Miss Annie Carroll, was splendidly render ed, as was a fantasia on Scotch airs, hy Misses Ruth Mitahull, Nellie Prin gle aud Livic Pittman. "I Doubt It,” hy Miss Livic Pitt man, was one of the taking pieces of the eveuiug, as was also “Too I.ate to Marry,” hy Miss Daisy -Mitchell. “Come Where Sleep the Dewy Vi olets,” a duet, by Misses Norma Rike and Annie Crrroll, was keenly en joyed. “Wandering in the May Time,” hy Daisy Mitchell and Daisy Dekle, cap- tivated“the audience. The instrumental pieces were well j chosen, and performed in a manner j to reflect the highest credit on Miss Jones andjhcr pupils. T never heard a better concert in thc chapel," was the remark of a lady, and she is a good judge ef music, when leaving the building, at the close of the perform ance. At the close of tho performance, in the absence of Hou. S. G. Mc Lendon, who had been requested to deliver the medals, Hon. Robert G. Mitchell, by request ol Miss Jones, stepped to the front of the stage, and iu a few, hut well chosen remarks, presented medals to tho following gramme, it was impossible for several encores to be responded to. We have never seen a better lie linved audience in the chapel. The hallway between the hoarding department and the chapel, was a favorite resort. Miss Jones deserves much credit for the manner in which she got up thc concert. It was a most gratifyin; success. Frank Hawkins and Joe Dreyer make good stage managers. Another commencement lues closed, leaving many tender memories twin ing and clinging about Young Female College. Another class has gone out into the world. .Some of the sweet notes of the songs as they filled the chapel, and floated out on thc 3oft evening air in dyinj cadences, will linger long in the mem ory of those who heard. The the Oldest Woman World. Capt. l’ainc in his rounds has struck sonic pretty old people. Walking in- t i a cabin on ——^trcct, yesterday, he found; a decrepit, colored woman, whose head was as white as snow. How old arc you aunty?" asked the census man, very loud. Fo de Lord, I don’t know, honey ; but I’sc mighty old, I can tell you dat.” Do you remember seeing George Washington ?” asked the representa tive of Mr I’orter. What, (leorge Washington ? Bless yo’ soul, I’sc missed him on dis same knee many a time. Why, I kno-ved his granddaddy.” This was’too much for Spaulding; be put the old woman at zoo years calculating that this age would make her contemporaneous with the grandfather -of thc father of his country.
