The recent chill of the atmosphere abated, and the day was pleasant. , r the introductory exercises, th$ tor announced his subject, as the Indent narrated in St. Mark, Chapter • 2122.

The 6pen- g thought appealing . to the fepling Sural to such art occasion, viz: The ow of a tender farewell, is pver us y i> expanded in a few concise sen* new, that opened the way to St. ark’s graphic narrative, of the inter ew between the young Jew and esua Christ. This was done, in the pint of the evangelist, that reminded ,ne of Mark’s rapid style of descrip- as indicated by the Latin word (deriler. The stress naturally and for- ibly hid on the tenderness of this fare well interview between the great Teacher, and his enquiring friend— the beloved young man. The scene was described as one of the most pa thetic in the gospel narratives—the parting interview between the mer eifnl Christ, and the young man who eame to the Lord so eagerly, but went away sail and grievously disappointed -the reason of this revulsion being that this young Jew “had great pos sessions,” and mistook a transient feel ing for a permanent interest in the character, and offices of Jesus Christ, son of man, but also son of God. The next division of the subject, led preacher to elaborate, with great effect the qualities in the young Jew, that ex cited the respect, and affection of the Master, who could not be unapprecia tive of one, who came to him running, and who bowed to them, asking what he should do to inherit eternal life. Why callest thou me good! Thouknow- est the commandments; specifying the second table of the law. And the young inquirer responded: “All these have l observed from my youth.” Christ did not question the truth of that utterance, but probed his self- righteousnsss to its depth, by saying: “one thing thou laeke.st,” and the one thing was his worldliness, which -so blinded his heart, and the vision of his mind, that he unduly loved his great possession, and therefore, the suppliant, who was the inquirer, was led to see, in the light of the Sa viour’s eyes, how he lacked the unre served devotion of his heart to God, in Christ. And this, so far as the account s concerned, is the painful sequel, the final farewell, in the memorable inter view. This portion of the discourse was most vividly presented. After the manner of his people, the young man was religious. But the discrimination was implied between mere religionism, and that deeper faith in God and conse cration, which characterized Christian ity. as love and jlevption to Christ as the Redeemer. The impulses and emo tions of the youthful worshipper were defective, in the highest and truest sense, and although a moralist, by the standard of his age, and by membership in the chureh of his nation, an honest and earnest Jew, yet he lacked that self-denial which is the taproot, out of which springs the sap, the strength, the fiow-er, an d the fruit of self-sacrifice, as the beauty and the glory of Christian godliness. this afforded the Doctor, an easy , Natural application, to the young wom anhood, about to leave the preparatory training of alma mater, whose portals were opening before them.

The power of this admirable sermon ‘ere reached its fine climax, beautiful nd effective, and most happily in har- - wy with the sacred day: “So cool, calm, so bright.

The “Spanish Dance,” by Misses Mattie llunnicutt, 3Iary Tur ner, 3Iaxie Oliff, and Ellen Pope, was one of the most enjoyable musical fea tures of the programme. 3Iiss May Hull favored the audience with “Lenora,” from the German of Gottfried August Burger, and pre sented the favorite recitation with grace and ease of manner. 3Iiss Minnie Calianiss recited the “Bootblack,” which was followed by great applause. “Karl, the 3fartvr,” as rendered by Miss Pearl Broyles of Atlanta, was one of the favorite selections of the morn ing- Miss Alice Bearden recited splendid ly. “Prince Eric’s Christ Maid.” 3Iiss 3Iay Bernard sustained well her enviable reputation as an eloentionist, in her splendid rendition of “3Irs. 31c- Williams and the Lightning.” Miss Dora Raine achieved a great success, in “The Knight’s False Vow.”.

Yesterday morning another crowd gathered at the Chapel. to witness the elocution contest between the younger members of the school. The programme was opened with a paino duet in C.

Miss Mamie McKie then favored the audience with an interesting recitation entitled, “The Good Time Coming, This was followed by Miss Katie Bain’s rendition of “Biddie’s Trouble,” which was very laughable.

Miss Mary Lou Hinton told in a most interesting and attractive manner, the account of “Flossie Lane’s Marri age.” This closed the contest.' Hon. H.H. Carlton then came forward and stated that Miss Rutherford had changed the method of deciding upon the best elocutionalists. Instead of leaving it to a committee of judges, she proposed making every lady in the house a judge, and request them to write the name of their preference on a card, and give them to the ushers; they would then be counted by Rev. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Ketner, ef Atlanta; and the young lady receiving the larg est number of votes would have the medal awarded her to-night when the honors were conferred. The doll play then closed,* the exer cises which were very funny, and en tertaining, after which the dell drill was given. The programme was well arranged, and proved most enjoyable in every particular. THCR ANNUAL CONTEST. The annual concert was a grand suc cess# It is considered by many one of the finest ever given in our city. We are sorry the lateness of the hour, pre vents a more detailed account. From Wednesday’s Daily Commencement is over. The exercises at the chapel were finished last night. Nineteen young ladies from every part of Georgia have graduated from the Lucy Cobb, and those who were Seniors yesterday, have their names Girl,” to its very best advantage. Miss Ketner has a fine voiee, of decided grace, together with marked talent for elocution. Miss Ella Pope, of Albany^ rendered the luaghable Selection, “JohnHabber- ton,” which was most entertaining. Miss 3Iaude Hardeman was prevented froni taking part in the contest. The programme closed with a class chorus, “Hark to the Rolling Drum,” with drum accompaniment, by Sir, F. Sam Morton. The entire contest was most interest ing from beginning to end, and the judges, we dare say, find it a hard mat ter to arrive at the best participant Every pupil displayed talent and fine training, and the contest was most creditable in every respect. THE CLOSING EXERCISES. The chapel was packed last night The slight rain during" the evening had a tendency to cool the atmosphere just enough to make it pleasant in crowd, for n.crowd it was. Long before the doors were open, peo ple were seen going up to the chapel to get good seats, to witness the gradua ting exercises, and when the doors were finally opened all the desirable seats (except those reserved,) were soon oc cupied. The programme was something en tirely new,. It opened with a play en titled, “Ladies’ of Athens,’’and written expressly for the Senior Class of 1889, by Mrs. Mary Ann Lipscomb, the as sistant principal of the Lucy Cobb In stitute The play was a Greek Scene, in which each young lady impersonated some Grecian character. The following was the cast: Xanthippe, wife of Socrates, Miss Phoebe Ellis. IksnsiA, wife of Pericles, 3Iiss Susie Pitta rd Sappho, the violet crowned poetess, Miss Pauline Harris. Damophila, wife of Damophilus, (a writer of verses, who is very jealous of Sappho,) Miss Pearl Broyles Nicostrata, wife of Sophocles, Miss Mattie Hunnicutt. Philksla, wife ofZenophon, Miss Mary Wesley Turner Phythias, wife of Aristotle,3Iiss Susie Edwards. « Cleobule, sister of Demosthenes, 3Iiss Annie A. Smith. From Thursday’s Daily. The honor graduates of the Lucy Cobb Institute were announced in the Banner-Watchman several days ago, but at that time we were unable to give the marks of each younglady. It is a rule at the Lucy Cobb, that when any number of young ladies make an average within one half of each other, when their marks take an honor It is equally shared between them. Miss Clide Patman, of Athens, re ceived first honor. In the Latin and English course her yearly average was 98:9. Miss Carrie Burrus, of Colum bus, Gn.,shares the same honor with 98:5. Miss MaryTurner, of Turin, has sec ond honor. Her average for the entire year was 98. This honor is also shared by 3liss 31innie Cabaniss, of Atlanta 97:8. , Miss 3Iattie Hunnicutt, of Athens, comes next in the class with 97:7, and if it had not been for sickness, 3Iiss Hunnicutt would certainly have shared one of the high honors. In the English course. The first honor is shared between Miss Eula Ketner, of Atlanta, 99:3, and Miss Pittard, 98:9. The second honor is taken between Miss Clifford Grey, of WayneBboro,98:6, Miss Alice Bearden, of Madison, 98:4; 1 and Miqs Mamie Lovell, of Savannah, 98:4.

In the Music Department Miss Clif ford Grey takes first honor, in Miss Tyler’s vocal class. In 3Iiss Debowski’s instrumental class first honor was awarded Miss May Reaves. This completed the honors,except the honorable mention which was given to young ladies for marked proficiency in their different studies. As will be seen from the above, high- marks have been made by the young ladies in their studies. tistieally decorated with Florida moss and garlands of evergreen. The reception room, on the left of the hallway, was one of the handsomely de corated parlors in the building. It was dressed by the members of the H. S. D. Society, in mosses and flowers of all de- scriptiops. In front of the mantel was placed a large tloral offering, represent ing an Indian badge, made of flowers, suspended from a beautiful tripod. Over the center door, leading to the rear hall, was a large Chinese umbrella, and a number of evergreen decorations. In the back hall, the wall was deco rated with palm loaves, and in the cen ter fais placed a large rock well, from which lemonade was served during the entire reception. In the school room, in the extreme southern part 6f fie building, a large, pyramid of flowers was placed in the center, and numerous decorations on the walls. The library and parlor, which are handsomely furnished, were ornament ed hors and there by choice flowe r i. IN THE SUPPER ROOM. Along the path from the Institute building to the Seney-Stovall chapel railings were placed on each side, cov ered with evergreen, and from the bot tom was Suspended a Chinese lantern; and from the wipdow in the chapel, an other engine head-light lit up the walk. All the way to the Institute entrance, tagging was laid along the entire length of the path. The Tennysonian hall, where the supper was spread, was one of the most elaborately dressed rooms ever seen in the city. The walls were liter ally covered with palm leaves, which were ordered from Florida especially for the occasion; while evergreen and gray moss ornamented the chandeliers and the large pillars near the center of the room. A pyramid of hot house plants in full bloom, were greatly ad mired in the eastern part of the hall, and the sweet fragrance from the choice geraniums, added to the beautiful, fairy like scenic representation. The center table was fully twelve feet in diameter. In the center was large representation of a lake, decorated with water lilliea and many beautiful and rare exotics. A pyramid, rising out of the lake,.was made of moss and all the choice fruits of the season. On the table were any number of large handsome cakes, with the design of the Society’s badge iced on the top. The table was literally filled with all the delicacies of an elegant repast. Around the room were placed thirty little tete-a tete tables, on which were arranged tempting suppers, composed of meats of every description, breads, sandwiches, fruits, and ices of all kinds. The hall was never too crowded, that a conple could not get seats at the table, and the entire reception was most sys tematically arranged. The following were the committee to receive the guests on entering the In stitute. Miss Paulin Col. Snellings Miss Clifford Gray Mr. A. S. Harper, Miss Eula Ketner Mr. Y. L. Smith, Miss. Pearl Broyles Mr. J. C. Mell, Miss Phoebe Ellis Mr. E. C. Kontz, Cel. Bill Brittain Pleks up the Best Dog- Stery of Augusta’s Big Flood, and Gives it te the Evening News. A DOG’S GRATITUDE.

Lipscomb, Chairman, ’Misses Ketner. Grey, Lovell, Hull, A. Brumby, Ellis, Hinton. Wadley, Smith, Linton, Paulin, aud Tyler. THE IRIDIAN RECEPTION. The Iridian reception on last evening was one of the grandest social events ever given in Athens. The decorations were the nuost elaborate ever seen by Athens, and the entertainment was most elegant in every respect. “This is the last reception to be given by either of the secret Societies, as next year, the chapter will not exist. The Iridian^re certainly to be con gratulated upon the success of their en- tertaiunqent, for it will be looked back upon, by all present, as a social event, which it will be impossibly to surpass. THE DECORATIONS. The decorations were perfect. As one neared the Lucy Cobb, the scene which met his eyes was, indeed, grand. The large front yard of the In stitute was illuminated as bright as day with Chinese lanterns, and from the limbs of trees, and along the top of the building, these beautiful white balls of fire were suspended. On top of the piaza was placed a large engine head light, Avhich made the entire front walk as bright as day. On entering the* hall of the Institute, the chandeliers and stairway were ar- Salt Rheum.

Philadelphia, Pa., June 4.—The re presentative of the Mutual Life Insur ance company, of New York, stated to day that the company would lose $420,000 by deaths in Conemaugh valley. A large number of policies were held by the employes of the Cambria Tron Works. The Pennsylvania Mutual Life Insur ance company,of this city,it is said, will lose $100,000 in the city of Johnstown alone. It remains for Col. Bill Brittain to come to Augusta and pick up the best dog story of the day. He found it in tho“flotsam,” as it were, of what some people call Augusta’s great flood,and it is really one of the best things of the kind afloat. It is just like Col. Brit tain,to run up on this item, for he is tl & greatest dog fancier in the country* and in his New York lodgings and his hunt- ing lodge near Athens has some of the finest blooded dogs in the world. Col. Bill himself Is a high flyer and one of the cleverest men to be found between New York and Texas. And you can most always at any time, find hfm wherever you stop over on the South ern circuit. But to the dog story: Col. Brittain happened in at Landrum & Butler’s on Saturday, and he noticed a fine Collie rush in the store, and, passing all the clerks unnoticed, made for Mr. ; Lan- dram hack in the office, whom he salut ed with a regular dog smile and a bow as unmistakable as “Denver’s” best salute on mule parade. The delight of the dog was-evident,,and polite atten tion attrached Col. Brittain’s acute eye for anything special in dog manners. “Hello, is that your dog?” he asked of Mr. Landram. “No, but he claims me,” replied the senior member of the popular dry goods firm. Mr. Landram then told the story which Col. Brittain gave to the Evening News. It appears that the dog in question, a handsome and intel ligent Collie, belongs to Mr. John Bones Moore, and makes his home with him for the most part. During the September freshet the dog was caught by the high tide in Broad street, and though a good swimmer, he could not .make headway against the swift current surging down Broadway. He caught in some brush or timbers near Landram & Butler’s store, and while there in durance, and in considerable peril, ho was rescued by Mr. Landram, taken to the second floor, and fed for two or three days until the water subsided. Colley then went on his way rejoicing. So far the honors are in favor of Mr. Landram, and now eomes the story of a dog’s apprec iation and rare intelli gence. Every day since the flood that dog has trotted around from Greene street, in fact, twice each day; and, rushing past clerks and customs, he calls on Mr. Landram and salutes him with grinning teeth, and bowing head and a wagging tail. He then curls up at his feet, goes to sleep and after his gap, bows again and returns home. The interchange of civilities between man and dog is always interesting. And the interesting story does not stop here. Last fall Mr. Landfam went North to purchase his regular stock of dry goods,and,as soon as the dog noticed his absence from the store, he sought some other way of showing his gratitude. And here is the strangest part of the wonderful story. Although the dog has never been known before to stop at Mr. Landram’s house, he took up his station that night on the back piazza of the residence and there he remained till the cook came in the morning to open the house. Colly then left, satisfied that all wAs right’;and this nightly visit and guard he maintained until bis daily visists to the store told him that Mr. Landram was back home to protect his own house at night. Now,if anybody has a story which better proves the posses sion of intelligence and gratitude in the dog world, let him bring it on! “Oh,my back !”is a common exclama tion, and expresses a world of misery and suffering. It is singular this pain arises from such various causes. Kidney disease, liver complaint, wasting affec tions, colds, rheumatism, dyspepsia, overwork and nervous debility are chief causes. When thus ailing seek prompt relief. It can be found best in Brown’s Iron Bitters. It builds up from the foundation by making the blood rich and pure.
