—Him. WilHamH. English, oflndiana,
ba3 written a letter iq which Jie declares
that he -will not consent to tta use of his
name In antagonism to tliat of Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks, .pitlifir for Presi
dent or Vice-President. ( , ,
A Curious Coin cidbnce.—There is a
curious coincidence in' relation to the
thirty-sixth ballot in connection with
presidential aflalrs: Garfield was momma,
ted on the thirty-sixth ballot; Jeflerson
was elected on ther thirty-sixth ballot. In
1S01 Jefferson and Burr were an exact tie
in the electoral : college, and the election
went to the Houae of Representatives,
where Jefferson was ejected on the thirty -
sixth ballot, the contest lasting for
seven days. •
WlLLT Mb. CONKLINO Sa.Y8.r7A
Washington dispatch says 'Senator Conk-
ling admits tliat he was greatly disappoint
ed when the break took place in Blaine’s
line that Grant did not get enough rotes
to secure his nomination. IJe says that if
he had anticipated any such result he
would have thrown his forces to Edmunds
and secured his nomination. He says
that he will take an active part in the
campaign, and hopes to carry New yoik
for the ticket.
—The Paris Figaro says: “Do not
waste your orange peel, but make an In
cision round it midway, and remove care
fully in two halves. Take the two cups
and place them hollow downward, one on
the grass and the other among the plants
or vegetables. At the end of & few. days
you will be rid of all slugs, black or gray.
Every morning you will find that they
have taken refuge under the cups of or
ange peel, and can be destroyed.”
—The European sportsman, mighty
hunter though he be, is completely put to
the blush when comparing his meagre ac
count of a day’s shooting with the regal
bags made by the Indian rajahs and
princes, or even by the Feringhees, in
British India. There may be less physi
cal exertion, and consequently less physi
cal improvement, iu the monster battues
of the East than in onr more homely and
vigorous sports, hut the total is something
very magnificent indeed, bix tigers,
tliirty-six buffaloes, 140 pigs, and 0,200
deer is the sum of a Hindoo gentleman’s
shooting. ■
A Talk With Ghaut.—A New York
World reporter interviewed General
Grant at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Thurs
day. He expressed obligations to liis
friends wlio stood by him so persistently,
and said he was soriy Senator Conkling
was not nominated. He declined to ex
press an opinion as to the result in No
vember, but did not think Garfield would
carry a Southern State, though there, was
a hope for Virginia if the Republicans
combined with the Mahone men. He is
very confident Mr. Seymour will be the
Democratic nominee, whom he regards as
their strongest man.
—A speaker at one of the Unitarian
anniversaries in Boston accounted for the
decay visible iu some of their churches by-
saying that the members thereof were
selfishly luxurious and by their lives
seemed to say: “Give me good preaching
at one end and good singing at the other
and I will fold my hands, shut my eyes,
go to sleep and enjoy my luxurious pew
in the broad aisle.” It is said that this
is not a Unitarian sin only. The Jubilee
Singers have a new song, a line of which
is: “Wake up dem lazy Baptisses,” and
this also might be sung fitly iu other
churches.
—An engine tliat will pull a short traiu
without flame, smoke, grease or noise is
precisely what is needed on elevated rail
ways. Such an engine Colonel Beaumont,
an English engineer, is reported to have
invented. Air is stored in a reservoir un
der a pressure of 1,000 pounds to the
square inch, and delivered thence, first,
into a small and afterwards into larger
cylinders, whence, after giving out its
force, it passes into the outer air. An
old difficulty, that compressed air freeze^
the atmosphere, which condenses on the
joints of engines, has been overcome; and
the engine can now haul a gross load of
twenty-two tons for eleven miles, or
twelve tons for twenty miles, with one
charge of air.
W110 Dis Man Gai:fiei.d.—A Savan
nah dispatch in the Charleston Fetes, says
that the negroes are thoroughly demoral-
alized. In anticipation of Grant’s nomi
nation, they hod made arrangements for a
grand demonstration to-night. Garfield
is uukuown to them and they are bewil
dered. Remarks as follows could be
heard in groups of negroes: “Fore God,
de ting is up. Marse Grant's beat and do
war is no accouut.” “Who dis man Gar
field? Is de Demycrats wliip um?” etc-
The darkies are completely crestfallen
and the decisive bulletin scattered them
in dismay like sheep.
—A telegram came to the .Wesleyan
Female Seminary at Cincinnati for Miss
Mary Beach, daughter of a State Senator,
saying that her father had died suddenly
of apoplexy. The school officials gave a
ready assent to her speedy departure, and
did all they could to soothe and assist the
seemingly grief-stricken girl. She was
joined at the depot by a young man whom
she introduced a3 her cousin. He really
washer sweetheart, and had sent the
message according to a previous under
standing with her, not because her father
was dead, but to enable her to get out of
the seminary and elope witli him. They
were married before the fraud wa3 dis
covered.
—An almost perfect house has been
lately disentombed at Pompeii. It is the
best preserved of all' the Roman dwell
ings hitherto discovered. There are two
atria and a very spacious peristyle, in the
middle of which is an ornamental foun
tain. There is also a complete bath,
which must assist’ in clearing up some of
the doubtful points concerning the arraiige-
ment of Roman baths. The paintings in
the interior of the house were executed
with -considerable taste, and they are in
good preservation. Those on the first
floor, representing for the most part ma
rine animals, are especially interesting.
The frescoes also, which are contained in
the wings of the building, are excellent
representations of scenes from animal
life.
Grant on Gawield’s Chances.—
Interview at the races:
“Is Garfield going to be elected, any
how?”
The General did not reply.
“Whom will the Democrats be likely to
nominate, General?”
“Seymour.”
“We have many Democrats here who
look towards General Hancock.”
“Seymour,” pursued Grant, “I have
been backing against others singly, and I-
am almost ready to back him against the
field at present. General Hancock has no
show whatever, though of course he may
wiu it. Seymour is perhaps their strong
est man.” l| .
• —The Dqke of Argyll began life as a
very poor Duke, but will probably end as
a very rich one. His uncle had left tlie es
tate. terribly, .“dipped,” and then there
were, jointures still further to deplete it.
In fact, at one time ho contemplated sell
ing Rojeneatli, his beautiful historic scat
in Dumbartonshire, but his slender means
led to saving habits, w Uich grew steadily
upon him, and he lias all his life lived so
quietly and unostentatiously that he lias
gradually cleared away debts and now

tion’of which he saves, liis eldest sou’s

WE8IXYAY R3IA1E COUEOE.
Junior Exhibition—Xonainff Session.
Yesterday morning the commencemeht
exercises at the college were resumed, the
occasion being (he reading of original
compositions by the Juniors. . The pro-,
gramme bore at its head thia caution; j
Rabid, rodent dritie, . "!' ‘ ’ j
Hear yoitr victim pray, ''
That your tongue acetic,
File not your teeth away.
Even had we h^en disposed to. do a lit
tle filing, there ..was no :cause/ apparent.
The'tnosic, vocal and instrumental, was
all fine,and the compdsitions excellentboth'
immaterial ■ and, rendition., The Seniors
will have to look to their laurels,, not 'to
he outdone. "*1 • • • . " : ■
' .The exercises Opened with the Northern
Route March, performed with.great accu
racy and precision bv/Misscs Price, Breed
love, McRae add Dareh.' During tbe ren
dition of this inarch the ^Ivnlors filed into
the hall and took tkeir seats, their appear
ance being greetedwith applause. After
prayer by the Rev; Alpheus Wilson; ^‘H
Tpvatore,” or i-ather selections from that
opera arranged for a piano duet, was most
pleasingly .given by Misses Lee/iFord,
Williams and Ilumber.
The first composition of the morning,
“One fault may mar a life,” was read
by Miss Mamie -H. Darragb, of Macpn.
The young lady, treated Imr subject in) a
novel vet. pleasing manner. The influ
ence of physical as well as mental faults
was dwelt upon and frequently illustra
ted, and the original proposition thorough
ly established. The reader’s voice, though
low in tone, was clear and well, con
trolled. *„ ” / V '
The next composition reader was Miss
Emma Davis, of Albany, who paid a ten
der tribute to “Oar College Days.” Her
composition was marked by a multitude
of pleasant memories that entered into it
vividly.- This was ono of the best read
compositions of the day. After a fine
semi-chorus, “Oh. Happy Day,” by a spe
cial vocal class, “Our College Bell,’* cer
tainly one of the best junior compositions
we have ever heard, was read by Miss
Claude C. Freeman, of Macon. The com
position was in the nature of a poem, found
ed upon the fact—unknown, perhaps, to
many—that when the bells of St. Michael’s,
were brought to this city, to be cast into
cannon* the Wesleyan College bell, which
had been cracked, was exchanged for the
“C” bell of St. Michael s church. The
history of the' bell, and the scenes
through which it had passed, were sub
jects for the poetic fancy of the reader,
and very prettily handled.
“Haunted Houses,” by Miss Clara O.
Harris, of Macon, was another very fine
effort. Tlie author forsook the old
beaten track of composition writers, and
launched her boat upon the mystical sea
of life. The comparison of literal and
figurative haunted homes, was a happy
conception. “On Blooming Meadows,”
a piano solo, was very sweetly rendered
by Miss F ederick.
The next composition was: “Gathering
Summer Driftwood fur Winter Fires.” Un
der this heading, the author and reader,
Miss Mary Ellen Johnston, had gathered a
most charming group of fancies, which we
shall call mental bric-a-brac. Still,
through all, was understood the pleasing
lesson, that as the dwellers on the coast
gather In summer their winter’s wood,
from the drift, so should we lay by in
youth pleasant memories for old age.
Miss Johnston read with great ease and
distinctness.
“Short Cuts,” by Mis3 Nannaline Jor
dan, of Washington, Ga., was an alto
gether original and pleasing composition.
The tendency of the age is toward the
shortest road; whether we be rushing for
the post-office or Wealth. Her anecdote
of the Atlanta preacher who described tbe
devils taking refuge‘among the swine, and
tbe disappearance of the latter in the sea,
brought down the house., / ’ \ v
“The Swallows,” a vocal solo, was very
tenderly sung by Miss Jessie Brantly, of
Macon. Within ifij compass the young
lady’s voice is as sweet as any we have
everlieard.
“Myrrh Bearers,” a composition read by
Miss Georgia Pate, of Hawklnsville, was
a beautiful application to daily life of tbe.
lesson taught by Mary’s act of devotion
toward her Lord and Master, and was
beautiful iff language and delivery.
The “Mattei Waltzes,” au instrumental
duet was performed by Misses Bonneli,
Willis, Waithourand Harrison.
“One smile for the living is worlH a
dozen tears for the dead,” by Miss Belle
Si Peterson, of Greensboro, Alabama.
Beginning with this unique proposition;
the author read a most graceful little os-
say, thoroughly demonstrating the useless
ness and selfishness of grief, and the value
and comfort of smiles. The proposition
may be a difficult one to exemply by! liv
ing, but the, lady we opine, will never find
it difficult at any time to establish its
truthfulness.
“Boat spng,” a vocal duet, was charm
ingly rendered by Misses Walthour and
Morgan. • -uif
“Victoria Regina,” by Miss Annie Dayr-
sOn Snider, of Macou, was a graphic de
scription of Queen "Victoria, her youth; as
cent to tho throne, marriage and happi
ness. The closing tribute paid to the.
great queen was touching and eloquept.
“Down by the.hazel deli,” a vocal solo,,
found a sweet utterance from the lips of
Miss Gussiri Jones.. The ballad, beautiful
in itself, lost nothing in its rendition. The
young lady was forced to return and
acknowledge with a bow the continued
applause, and, eventually, to repeat tbe
la?tverse. , . . .
“Know thyself,” by Miss Annie Trippe,
Of Forsyth, was the last-composition of
the morning, and abounded, not only in
elegant language, -'but deep thought.
Applicable quotations irom . Pope and
Shakespeare were freely Interspersed in
the composition, and illustrat(oh3 of the
necessity of knowing one's self were shown
by the unfitness of. men for various calli
ngs. Miss Trippe Is a fine reader, as'well
as a close observer.
After,a chorus by the, scnior^Ligidg
class, the exercises were dosed With tbe
benediction.' j
EVENING SESSION—SENIOIIS’ COitTOSI-
• nl XQH&! J —«
-Like the Juniore in the . morning, tbi
Seniors forestalled crKiciam by a tadt'ac
knowledgment.' IJi this place,' also, tlie
acknowledgment was opt of place, and
there was no place for criticism. |
“Whoe'er thinks a faultless piece to see,
Thinks What ne’er was, ne’er is rior e’er
shall be” m J-tm
does not prevent us from occasionally ex
pecting and hearing faultless pieces.
The exercises opened with “Priest’s
March” performed by Misses' Crippen,
Woolfolk, Johnston and Morgan. After
Prayer came an instrumental duet, “Mar
tha,” by Misses Brock, Humber, Rush and
Frederick.
Thq first essay came from the lips of
Miss Anna L-Dranchjif Waynesboro, upon-
“Editors.” However telling the young
critic’s handling of the subject may have
been, we are forced to admit that her esti
mate wasaifalrone. Tjiere is nothing too
good or too bad that one cannot say ofthe
subject, and we rejoice that their treat
ment was no mope severe. . 1 , / r
“The joys of life,” a vocal duet, by
Misses Lee and Felton, was very beauti
fully sung. Tlie young ladies’ voices har-
monizsd exquisitely 'and elicited eveiy
manifestation of pleasure from ttift audi
ence. a< ' . : ,f
“The Emerald Isles of Life,” an creay,
bjr Miss Maria fi. Clemens, of;Montgomeiy^
county, >vm exquisitely (handled btf its
fair author. Beautiful as a subject, it was
beautiful as an essay, and not the 1 poor
einigrari'ijj mjemoirjr pictured in distant
lands fairer segues thou Aid . tlie. gentle
reader, mi q ~ 1. “ • '! v
“Roses as well as thbrns-are waiting for
our feet,” an essay By Carrie'iL Cor
bett, of.Macon, was Jail of fine thoughts
and gentle .teachings. -Let us hope' that
for herself, tlie little lady is mistaken iu
her prophecy; ’that.oifly 1 the roses, so ialr
and sweet, await her, tliat the thorns
will never be seen or felt. ui
“Tannhauser March,” an instrumental
solo, was well performed by Miss Petjer-
son.
One of the best essays of the evening,
and ohe ofthe best delivered, was Miss L.
Eiise Davis, of Albany, on “Failure, the
Road to Success.” None can hgar the es
say without being impressed by its logic
and beauty.
“I’ve been thinking” was the title of an
essay by Miss Eula L- Felton, of Marshall-
villo:- Obeying Dr. Smith’s caution to
remain quiet, the audience were treated
j to many rare and racy thoughts, expressed
in a sprightly and captivating manner.
We’ve been -thinking since that
essay was read, tliat it equalled any yet
delivered. .
“Valley of Roses,” a semi-chorus, was
rendered by the special singing class,
among whom we noticed Miss Crippen, of
this city, a young lady whose voice has
so often been heard and admired here.
“Cloudy Days,” was the subject chosen
by Miss Annie L. Forrester,' of Macon.
Entering deeply into her subject, the
young lady produced a beautiful piece of
mental mosaic, exquisite in part and as a
whole. Her style of delivery added much
to i s charm.
<i Miss Ida A. Frederick, of Marsliallville,
read the hext essay, choosing for her sub
ject the motto, “Life is What we Make
It;” a well chosen subject, and rightly
handled. The lessons taught were fault
less, and could all be brought to think as
the author thought, life would indeed be
bright.
Miss Eiise Davis, of Marshallville, re
turned and sang “Sounds of Lutes and
Mandolins” in her happiest style, and was
greeted with continued applause. r
Miss Hattie C. Freeman, of Macon, and
a favorite, if an enthusiastic greeting can
be rightly construed, chose for her sub
ject but ono word, “Rings.” What the
young lady left unsaid about the subject
is not worth remembering. When she
finished, her fancy had woven a ring
about the entire assembly and bound
them to her by golden hands.' > '
“Fence Advertisements” was the sub
ject upon which Miss Sallie W. Goodali,
of Macon, chose to speak. It was tredted
in a most novel and entertaining manner,
and evinced much genius on the part of
the author. 1
“La Fa Faletta,” a vocal solo, found
expression from the lips of Miss Minuie
Walthour. The fair young singer won
for herself the genuine Macon applause
that seems never to know when to cease.
“The Tongue” was the [subject chosen
by Miss Belle B. Harris, of Lawrenceville,
and surely'a tongue was never better em
ployed. Tbe subject itself is a dangerous
one for a lady to trifle witli, but Miss Har
ris, however she may have aimed her
words at others; certainly -did both tongue
and brain credit lait evening.
Mis3 Emily H. Humber, of Putnam,
county, spoke against some of onr best
citizens uuder the caption, “Visionaries
and Practical Men.”. Ctyie would suppose
tlie subject one upon which a young lady
could speak but little; but Miss Humber
proved to the contrary, and presented her
subject in all its length and briadtli, with
out one false' light, j "
The last piece on the programme was a
chorus by the Senior singing class, “I
come, I come.”
The Seniors will finish their readings
this morning, after which Rev. Alpkeus
W. Wilson,D. D., will deliver the annual
address. There will be a business meet
ing ofthe AliimhaTat four p. m., and at
eight p. m. will occur the concert.
Senior CImm—Second Section.
" “And now at last the work is done,
-The battle fought, the victory won.”
The exercises opened yesterday morn
ing with the Boccacio March, performed
"by Misses L. Williams, Jackson, Persons
aud L. EVerett, during which the readers
of tho morning marched in and took seats.'
After prayer hy Bishop Pierce, Misses
Fate, Emma Davis, Freeman and 1 ' Conn,
rendered “Fra Diavelo,” an instrumental
duet. ' *1 .
The first essay ofthe morning rsfas read
by Miss Steila O. Hunt, of Macon,, sub
ject,: f*Words, their uses and meaning;”
The young lady entered into her subject
with all the' vivacity arid confiddricie of
one who had, thoroughly studied the sub
ject. She Illustrated, the force of words,
'felt and Hrifelt, and closed with ait apt
and, appropriate poetical’quotation. «i
Miss Annie Lou Hutchings, of s Macon,
read 11 most practical and well constructed
essay upon “TI16 Culinary Art.” It em
braced many hints.t? housekeepers, and a
recital of the difference’ in the styles of
cooking. “One drip of tea and a hot roll,”
said the young lady,' “Is. Worth more than
a dozen parlor entertainments,’’ and we’
agreed witK her. We trust that hor words
fell upon good ground, and that, as she
expressed it, “the' class of I860 will be
distinguished in the kitchen as wpllas ln
the parlor,” for never was a truer saving
than the Frenchman’s t “The Lord made
iriau, but the devil made the cooks.’’^ I .;
One of the most beautiful of all the
vocal -efforts of -this cOmrnenoement was
the “Morning Hymn,” sung by the special
siugiug Class. ’
“Heroism," an essay, by Miss Mary F.
Johnson, Macon, was tbe next pieee upon
the programme. The subject is one that
has been sung by the poets of all ages, and
lives in a halo of romance that not even
this, the, most practical of all ages, has
been able to dissipate. Tlie pictures
of the heroes, os drawn by the fair reader,
were very beautiful, especially her tribute
to Lee.
“Mind your own business,” was the
subject chosen by Miss Mollie G. Lee, of
Walker county. . -rniM
“Wbat-a jolly* world this world would
be'if idle iorigiies could l)d 'Suppressed,”
said the * fair reader, or, jn'plher. worjls,
If everybody minded their own business.
We thought she would spare the men
when site admitted tliat a woman could
say a thousand things it would not he safe
for one of the other sex to utter, but the
men caught it a little further on. The
essay was spicy and very gracefully read.
The blows were very impartially deliv
ered, .' . ...
“Auld Lang Syne,” piano solo, was
most exquisitely performed by Miss Emily
^uinh^r.
“Essay, “The 'Trivial Round, the Ccm
mon Task, Will Furnish all We Ought to
Ask,“by Miss Annie L. Maodonell, Ma
con. - •
The young lady illustrated by the stars
moving in their orbits the truth that each
human being has his orbit to move in,
his duty to perform. The warrior, states
man, author, poet, painter, sculptor, m-
veptbr,' philosopher; geologist, have all
their reward in. fame; while those who
perform the trivial round seem to have
nothing briti labor to greet them. This is
not-irrie,! al^he essayist' shewed. The
coral reefed .its construction was the
lesson she Impressed upon her hearers,
and the truth that God made the little
riiote in the sunshine as perfect as, the
largest planet was most beautifully ap
plied. . The essay was full of wisdom and
beauty, and splendidly read.
“Shakspeare’s Julius Caesar, a criti
cism,” by Miss., Jitaggie McEvoy, Macon,
was indeed a criticism bold and original/ -Frederick and number.
Tlie critic objfeeted in the beginning to the
position -Which Shakspeare ’ has accorded
to J. G„ whom she .said, though one of
the noblest of Romans, was accorded no
place whatever.' She was lenient towards
Brutus, severe with Cassius, and gave all
praise to Portia. This criticism was one
of thirty-three written .as exercises by the
Senior class, and showed careful study
and preparation.
“Harp of the Wind,” by Misses Eiise
and Emma Davis, a charming song by
Abt. Surely never an Eolian harp gave
forth sweeter sounds, than those which
fell from the singers’ lips. The harmony
was perfect... -i
“Variety”—essay by ! Miss Georgia Me
Rae. The reader, in the discussion of h*
novel subject, encompassed the world and
showed that no two objects, alike, exist.
Carrying the Subject Into daily life, she
completed a very chaste and happy essay.
“The Reign of Beauty” was the subject
upon which Miss Matilda Peyser, of Ma
con, devoted her talents—tho reign of
beauty in earth, sea and sky, in the face
and in the head. Beautiful in its concep
tion, it lost nothing in its reading. Every
word, clear and sweet, fell clear out upon
her hearers, and the effort was highly ap
preciated. The reign of beauty was never
better illustrated, than by this essayist.
“The way through the wood,” a vocal
solo by Miss Kate Swatts, of Atlanta, was
sung in a way that elicited the warmest
applause. Miss Swatts has a very musi
cal and melodious voice. She was forced
to return aud bow a second acknowledg
ment.
“Hobbies,” by Mis3 Ida L. Price, of
Bartow county, Georgia, was the next
piece on the' programme. The young
lady took a very sensible view of hobbies,
asserting that the hobbyist helps the
world along, for the inventor is oft a hob
by rider. The, essay embraced almost
every class aud very humorously were
some of them described. The closing il
lustration was very flue. \ i
The last Ussay of the morning was read
hy Miss Mattie C. Rush, of Forsyth, Ga.,
subject, “Female College Commence
ments.”- This composition was so replete
,witjh good things that it is scarcely'possi
ble to select from them. It contained,
howevei; a complete defense of female
college commencements, and after rebut
ting the charge that the graduates were
inferior in any point to those of the oppo
site sex, carried tho war into the enemy’s
countiy, asserting a superiority. This
composition pleased Dr, Bass so, lliat; his
i face was a curiosity for the time being.
After the address came a beautiful duct;
“On Rosy Wings,” sung by Missis Trippe
and Bacon in a perfect manner. We only
regretted that the song was not longer.
This closed the exercise of tho class.
When the exercises were finished, Dr.
Bass introduced to the audience Rev. Al-
pheus Wilson, of Baltimore, as the ap
pointed orator of the day. The speaker
advanced to the stand and very humor
ously andressingDr. Bass and the trustees )
stated that he felt himself in a very diffi
cult situation. That the young ladies had
not only exhausted all the choice topics,
but that the last reader had asserted tlie
superiority of her aex over his, and that he
was afraid to go into a competition; be
sides he had no fine dress and commence
ment arrangements; that-the nearest he
could come to them was the possession of
the two badges which he had on Iris' coat,
and wore by the request of the societies;
that altogether he lelt himself at a disad
vantage, and would hare to,choose, some
subject with which the young ladies have
not had experience:
Beginning with the emeigence of a
young lady fromschool, he pronounced the
diflerence between her old and new rela
tions toward her family, equal almost
to an; emancipation of conscience;
that they go out Into the world with
sense of responsibility, an' antici
pation of results and preparations to meet
them; with a self-asserting life.
Having' drifted into seriousness |tbe
speaker delivered a most learned -and
beautiful philipic upon 'self assertion, its
necessity and its danger, showing that
while self assertioqi and the independent
expansion ofthe mind were greatiu&glo-
rious ends, that no man was equal tp{ the
guidance of his own rltfgyiillustrating,by
showing the impossibility ' of- foretelling
eveu'the events of.the'coiningday, though'
ail.tbQ force of wisdom and experience be
brought to bear upon the problems, and al
though, that day; when viewed from! the
day after, presented its events as having oc
curred from the simplest aud most natu
ral of causes. He spoke of his personal
experience o’u tills joint, showing how far-
Re had drifted O'oui expectations of yofitb.
Not by ■ self-assertion, but! by God (Ally,
can we'-live. ■ idJtrtridiJ ..vs
The speaker was opposed to tl^e trim^
ming of humanity by one model;, there
must ba-variety—self-assertion and. inde
pendence would produce that; be did not
want his wife like everybody else’s wife;
she might not be the most beautiful
woman in the world, tbe gentleman said
with a smile, but she was the one be
wanted. He objected to the convention
alities of society, tbe rules that cramp
freedom of action and speech, stating that
three-fourths of them should be abolished;
that the safest position for tbe mind is in
antagonism. He gave, en passant, church
societies a gentle rap, affirming that, it
looked as if a soul could not. be saved
without the forming of. a society and
appointment of a secretary and a com
mittee.
Addresirig the young ladies, lie urged
them not to take for a model anybody ou
the face of the earth, not even Dr. Bass,
not even their father or mother. Passing
into the question of life, lie dwelt upon
its wonderful expansion and capacities,
the abundance of room for knowledge.
What cannot a man learn with the world
and eternity about lrim: But build nut
on another’s foundation.
In this strain, without effort, without
notes, speaking pleasantly and smoothly,
the gentleman charmed his hearers for
tliree-quarters of an hour. His whole ef-,
fort was toward the establishment of a
mental energy and freedom. Carried
into politics, he would be known as a
disorganize^ but in the mental field he
he has chosen, he classes with the spirits
that lifted pure religion out of her bonds,
and brought man face to face with, and
responsible only to, his God.
We do not give this even as a synopsis of
the address abounding i 11 wisdom and beau
ty, simple and chaste, it gained a new lus
tre from the ease and fluency of the gifted
speaker. ..
EVENING SESSION—ANNUAL CONCERT.
“Heaven is the birth-place of music,
and Heaven will be its final home.”
The evening’s entertainment began with
an overture—Pique Dame—very beauti
fully performed by Misses Felton, Swatts,
Chorus—“O11 the mountain high,” like
all the renditions of the seijior singing
class, was almost faultless iu its style and
execution. / *
Vocal solo, “O Mio Fernando,” sung by
Miss Ethel Crippen, was 0 triumph of vo
calization, and won new laurels for the
accomplished young artist. Upon being
encored, Miss Crippen sang very sweetly,
“Maid of Athens.”
Instrumental solo, “Mignon Polonaise,”
was very skillfully interpreted by Miss
Addle Singleton. The young lady has a
fine touch.
. Semi-chorus, “Guardian Angel” by the
special vocal class, was exquisitely sung,
and reflected much credit upon their mu
sical training.
Vocal solo, “La • Fioraza,” as sung by
Miss Eiise Davis, won the audience into a
storm of applause. Miss Davis has one of
the finest voices iuthe college.
Instrumental solo, “Lucia,” as per
formed by Miss Brock, was one ofthe best
of the evening.
Chorus, “When the Summer Rain,”
was another triumph for the Senior sing
ing class.
Overture, “Stradella,” by Misses Sin
gleton, Palmer, Brock and Rush, was very
beautifully rendered, and gave evidence of
high musical conception and patient ef
fort.
Vocal solo, “Alraio Cardellino.” Mis3
Minnie Walthour, in her sweetest tones,
sung this selection, and was encored into
a return to the stage.
Miss Felton’s instrumental solo, “Faust
Waltz,” was another spray in the laurels
which the young ‘ lady has at this com
mencement so fairly won.
The vocal solo, “Per Sempre,” by Miss
Emmie Truman, drew out prolonged ap
plause. Miss Truman has delighted all
wlio have heard her.
Miss Katie Swatts performed that diffi
cult, yet sadly beautiful “Misere du Tro-
vatore ”in faultless style,
Casto Diva, the most difficult of all to-
cal selections, was sung by Miss Mamie
Little, with an ease and perfection re
markable. Recalled, she sang a touch
ing little ballad with great effect, and was
forced to acknowledge tbe renewed ap
plause with a bow. !
“Rigoletto,” an instrumental solo, was
skillfully rendered by Miss Jennie Pal
er.
“Forest home,” was beautifully sung by
three of the best siugers on tlie stage:
Misses Little, Truman and Crippen, whose
voices blended in perfect unison.
“When the morning sweetly breaking”
was the closing piece sung by the Senior
singing class. .
. To-diy is presented a most interesting
programme.' The professors, and trustees
of the college, and all the dignitaries of
the laud who may be present, will march
in procession to the chapel at 9 o’clock:
The third division of the senior class will
read their compositions, the baccalau
reate address will be delivered by Dr.
Bass, and medals and degrees conferred.
The Ijut Day nt the Woleyan.
Yesterday was tlie closing day at the
Wesleyan; the large hall of the chppel
was literally crowded to the last inch,
there being more than six hundred per
sons present. j
To the inspiring strains of the Wedding
Marcli, as played by Misses, Peterson,
Jordan, M. E. Johnston and B. Jones, the
last division of the Senior dass, arriyed
In ^hite and flowers, filed into view,and
took the seals prepared for them at the
front of the stage. . 1 • j ; ,.
The senior singing class greeted them
with a fine chorus, “When the Morning
Sweetly Breaking,” after which. Miss
Lueia Elia-Brock; of LaFayette, ( Ala,,
stepped to the front and read the most,
charming salutatory we have ever heard.
Her address to the audience, editors and
reporters, trustees, elkssmates, and teach
ers; was 'delivered in a graceful and spir
ited manner that wou. the hearts of all'.
None who heard this welcoming compo
sition can doubt hut that the salutatb-
rian was properly chosen.
“Peasants'Wedding March” was very
sweetly sung by a semi-chorus: •» q J ! • •
Essay—“Silence is vocal, if- wc listen
well,” Was ! the' subject chosen by Miss
Eleanor E. Setley, of Macon. Introdubing
some beautiful and' novel illustrations,
and touching sweetly “silent eloquence,”
the young lady closed lief chaste address
with a dreamy quotation; 1 apropos to fier
subject,. )W . , u*
“Fortune’s Favorites” were most admi
rably treated by-Miss Nellie C. Sims, of
Macon,’ in a fine essay beautifully deliv
ered. Miss Sims is a capital reader. '
Dr. Bass, here introduced Miss Ethel
Crippen as one of Macon’s favorites, 'and
the audience, was charmed with that
quaint apd tender ;melody, “Hannah at
the window binding shoes.” . -I
“Every block of marble holds a Ydmis, '
With nothing but uuchbeled tCtmel be
tween us.” :
This w^li chosen subject foUnd a friend
in Miss Addle L. Singleton, of Baftovr:
county, Ga. Life is but the stone upon
which we carve; arid man mutt make or
mar his own hqpqmess. The young lady,
singularly enough, was upon, the line of
the annual address yesterday, arid the '
“Dreamers and Doers,” by Miss Mary
E. Solomon, of Twiggs county, Ga., was
an effort worthy of the highest praise.
True ini its premise and correct in its logic,
the bright fancy of the young reader
wreathed it with flowers to perfection.
After tlie singing of a chorus, “Pour out
your Sparkling Treasure,” by the Senior
class, came a beautiful little essay,
“Wanted,” by Miss Katie H. Swatts, of
Barnesville, Ga. After a recitation of the
wants of humanity as evinced in the ad
vertising columns of a prominent news
paper, the essayist took higher grounds
and made“Wanted” the lever that moved
the world. . Supporting her theory with
ready reference, she won for herself a po
sition in the front ranks of the graduates.
“Ambition” was ' the subject of Miss
Emmie Truman, Macon, The best illus
tration of her subject the young lady
could have given us, we think, would
have been her own course in her favorite,
study, vccal muaic, arid the success at
tained, a legitimate result of laudable
ambition to excel, hut, modestly passing
tliat by, we were treated to a pure essay,
most gracefully spoken.
Miss Crippen again delighted her audi
ence with a vccai solo, “Beneath the blue
transparent sky.” .
“Some Day,” essay by Miss Victoria B.
Walker, Marshallville. This beautiful
subject was entered upon., by the reader
very gracefully.'' Lifting the future's
veil, she showed"the futility of postpone
ment as well as tlie aims of /hope and ex
pectation. In that brief sentence sleep all
unfulfilled promises, all unrealized hopes,
and every disappointed expectation tliat
the world has known. The subject was
thoroughly handled and all its latent beau
ties revealed.
“Letters,” an essay, by Miss Minnie
Walthour, Macon. The reader, -alter
dwelling upon the thought that letters
flow through the land like hidden currents,
bearing their burdens unseen, burdens of
joy or grief, of hope and despair, confined
herself to love letters and letters of affec
tion, and gave a most beautiful essay up
on that particular class. Miss Walthour
read with remarkable ease anddistinct-
ness, adding much to the natural beauty
of her composition. '
Essay, “The eyes of other people arc
the eyes that ruin us,” by Miss Norma
Williams, of - Chattanooga, Tennessee.
We had been directly under a battery of
beautiful eyes for more than an hour, and
thought that the line upon which th<*
young lady was going to begin; judge of
our chagrin when she construed it into,
“How we are seen by otherpeople.” This
ruined us. The composition, however,
wa3 not only fine in construction and log
ic, but exquisitely read.
Music—“The Holiday,” by special vocal
cisss, was very finely sung. Tho last
piece from the class came in the shape of
a valedictory from Miss Mary Belle Lovett,
of Screven county, Ga., the young lady
who won the first honor, and whose
record for the last year shows not a single
mark or demerit of any kind. Speaking
in a clear and mellow voice, audible in
every portion of the hall, Miss Lovett de
livered the most finished composition of
thp season. The effort was marked by
an entire absence of the melo-dramatic
so common to valedictorians. Her fare
well to the audience, trustees and school
mates was dignified and womanly,and that
to her teachers and classmates, tender and
affectionate. From her writing we should
judge that the gifted young lady has a
bold, original mind, and a highly culti
vated one. The address, though long,
was listened to with marked attention.
This ended the exercises of the Senior
class, and stepping to the front, Dr. Bass
conierred upon tbe class of 1870, the de
gree of A. M., and upon thirty-two mem
bers of the class of 1880, the degree of A.
B. Quite a stir was apparent among the
young ladies when (he Doctor drew out
the special diplomas and medals and call
ed the new roll. ■
MUSIC DIPLOMAS.
The diplomas for music were conferred
upon Miss Lucia E. Brock, Eula L. Fel
ton, Emily H. Humber, Jennie L. Pal
mer, Addie L. Singleton, Kate H. Swatts,

erick in music andipainting. Also honor

As these names were read out and the
medals conferred, the members of the vari
ous classes greeted the announcements
with the most Vociferous and unselfish
applause, especially when the recipient
was not a member of the graduating class,
but had earned her honors in advance.
We have already spoken.of the high
standing and merit of this graduating
class, and now close this hurried notice
with the assertion that there has never
heen a more brilliant commencement at
tlie Wesleyan.
Dr. Bass’ baccalaureate was a very
beautiful parting admonition and bless
ing, replete with wisdom and gentle
teachings; it cannot fail to be remem
bered bjr thode whose guidance for years
has been in his hand! The closing fare
well is as follows:
“The world needs, and must have pa
tient, loving, dutiful, modest women. Tbe
family, society, the church needs you, and
I commission yon to-day for the high and
holy services ' of Christian womanhood.
Go forth with our blessing. Falter not
at obstacle^. Woman is doing more to
day than ever before 1n the history of the
race. In the home circle, the-social walks
of liic, the sebool room, the hospital, the
distant mission' field site is an angei of
mercy. Woman’s' gentleness, patience,
goodness, lore, are opening the doors of
heathendom which have so long been
tarred against the piety and active zeal
fering sisters of distant lands, pious Wo
men are organizing all over Christendom
for their relief.,
“Two of your elder sisters have illus
trated their Alma Mater on the distant
shores of China. One of them having fin
ished her work, has entered her Master's
joy. Tlie ether still lives to labor in the
cause, of woman. Then others occupy
important offitial positions in the Georgia
Conference Missionary Societies, giving
the weight of their womanly influence
to this grand modern enterprise of Chris
tianity.
“I do not say you ought to • devote your
lives to the mission work of tlie church.
But I will say that if your Christian hearts
tell you that there is Christian work to be
done, you should be willing to respond,
cven though obedience to the call pnt
oceans' and continents between you and
home that you love. Never miud what
the character of the service to which duty-
calls, you should ■ embrace it as the ap
pointment of Heaven. Make yourselves
blessings wherever your lots may be cast,
or whatever may be your station in life.
“We are proud of your college history.
You have enjoyed our confidence 'and you
carry with you our love. Be true to your
selves; be true to your God; he true to
your race.
“ ‘So do good and to communicate,forget
not, for with such sacrifices 'God is well
pleased.’ Be feet to the lame, ears to the
deaf, eyes to the.,blind,, friends tojthe
poor, angels of mercy to the sorrowing.
Brighten homes Witli your smiles, gladden
sadness with your songs, arid bless society
by your pious deed.
“Now, dear pupils, we slip the cable of
your life-craft, and bid you God speeij on
your voyage of love. God grant you pro
pitious gales, and a safe auchoige on the
‘shining heavenly shores.’
“With the benedictions of these trus
tees, the love’ of your schoolmates, the
good will of the audience, • and the pray-,
ers of your teacher, ‘ I bid you au affec
tionate farewell.”
Omission.
The essay, “Woman’s Work,” by Miss
Annie P. Breedlove, of Talbotlon, notice
of which was accidentally omitted on last
Tuesday, was one of the best of the whole
number. Woman’s true sphere was beau
tifully pictured, and the nobility and dig
nity of her labors given its true place, far
above that to which the advocates of
“woman’s rights” would have her des
cend.
