The, rain aP out raia<ift y, nad laid
the diisi, ahu cooled the atmosphere,
and there was eyery favorable indica
tion that a large audience would as
semble in the chapel at night to hear
an address from the Hon. Charles Z.
McCord, of Augusta. This gentle
man, though young in years, came to
us with an honorable record made
while a student at the State Universi
ty, and since as a citizen of Augusta.
It ie enough, on this head, to say,
that he is at present a member of the
lower house of the Legislature, repre
senting .Richmond county, a constitu
ency unsurpassed in wealth, intelli
gence, and, we may truly and fitly
add, the beauty, brightness and good
ness of its women, by any other in
the State.
Mr. McCord was here at the invita
tion of the Literary Societies of the
College. After prayer by Rev. D.
McQueen, the speaker was handsome
ly introduced to the occupants of the
stage, and the general audience which
filled the chapel, by Cadet Phillips,
president of the Phi Sigma Society.
Mr. McCord, who is a gentleman of
intellectual mould and manners, arose
and for an hour and a half occupied
the attention of his hearers with ab
sorbing interest. His subject was
Books, one not new, but in this res
pect, the more difficult to make at
tractive. The speaker's thoughts
were strong, and his style ornate and
scholarly. His ideas were well
grounded in truth, and carried with
them the force of conviction. In
books, he contended, were our great
est source of mind pleasure, and our
surest bulwark against outward dan-
" r from whatever direction it might
me. But, of all books there was
one-rttie Book of Books—the Bible,
that was the tower of strength, and
surest anchor for the soul. To this
great and everlasting book, he direct
ed the heart* of all who would have
their names recorded where thev
would glitter in living li|ht through
iys,
ground, as if tney had always known
each other from the times of “Chival
ry to the “Sensationalism,” of the
present day. And we are told to

<3B conclusion of the address, there
was a presentation of a silver service
to Commandant Matheson, through
Col. Whitfield, from the citizens of
Millftdgeville. The brief address of
Col. Whitfield was neat and appro
priate. The reply of Commandant
Matheson was a gem of modesty, emo
tion and thankfulness. He felt deep
ly this recognition of a people's confi
dence and affection, and said it would
be, through his life, cherished with
pride and tender care. It was touch
ing to every heart present.
After these proceedings, the young
ladies of the Ennonian Society spread

Miss Nora Trkanor read on “Sen
sationalism.” This was a well pre-
pared essay, read distinctly, and with
self-possession, a faculty absolutely
essential to success in a public read
ing, however difficult the labor to
give expression to it.
The “Good Old Days” was the
theme of Miss Fannik Harpkr.
The young lady may not have seen a
great ileal of what she wrote About,
but she clung closely to her text, very
pleasantly, aqd with a decided 'detdihi

of character, used as it is in his case,
always pleasantly', leaving no 3ting
to mar the moment or the memory.
Hutchings is a trump.
The next essay was read by Miss
Bkssie Lamar. “Portia” was her
subject. “Man” may- be the proper
“study of mankind,” as Miss Bessie
said; but the study is more often that
of woman. This young laxly read
very distinctly an excellent composi
tion on one of the grandest charac
ters in Shakespeare. It was loudly
cheered.
Miss Mary Barksdale read about
“Earthquakes.” This scientific sub
ject was made beautiful, and interest
ing, voiced by the soft, sweet expres
sions of a lovely lady. Well, women
can make the most disagreeable ob
jects in nature not only tolerable, but
pleasing by their touch. Miss Mary
proved all this to the fraction of a
shake.”
Miss Sadie Hall warned the au
dience thus—“Keep Your Eyes Open.’
She was in earnest about all she said,
and many will profit by her direc
tions, if tney are followed. She was
very happy in her manner, and her
composition was fine.
“Optimism and Pessimism” was ad
mirably handled by Miss Aurie
Brantley. There was evidently
much care and thought bestowed on
this essay, and the rendition was ex-
aeptionally good.
The last of the class to appear, was
Cadet C. S. Minor, who bore off the
1st honor, and well may he be proud
of it. His gallantry would doubtless,
have yieided the palm of victory to
his female associates, if it had been
possible to do so without disturbing
the “fitness of things,” and the inex
orable fate of all who outstrip in. the
race for glory, honor and wealth.
Capt. Minor delivered the valedicto
ry to the Trustees, Faculty anil Clkss
with much feeling, and in terms of
kindness, gratitude and affection, and
his Jast words to all his associates
were deeply affecting; and to all he
gave a kindly parting.
Cadet G. G. Crawford, a member
of this class, President Hill stated,
stood high in his class, but had been
compelled to be absent from the in
stitution for the past two months.
Miss Rose White, one of the grad
uating olkss, was absent on account
of sickness.

Long before the arrival of the hour
fixed for the prize drill by the Cadets,
the east front of the College present
ed a gorgeous scene of bewildering
beauty. Looked at from a distance
it resembled a huge bouquet resting
against an immense boulder of gran
ite. Here were gathered a goodly

and manly men, to witness a friendly

*day Morning, 10:30.
To-day, in military parlance, is the
“Big Gun”—the climax, the apex of
the literary pyramid, so to speak.
A morning's rain had put the dust
well down, and though continuing
showery, was not a damper sufficient
to mar a main feature—the crowd.
At the hour appointed, the chapel
was filled with an audience composed
almost entirely of the female sex,
there being hardly standing room
for those of the male sex who could
gain an entrance to the floors.
After prayer by Rev. J. B. Chap
man, Rev- J. B. Hawthorne,, the Or
ator of the day, was introduced by
President Hill, and addresseu the
assembly.
The Doctor had almost made up
his mind to take as his theme the La
bor Problem; but that was too coifi-
monly discussed. He then thought
he would take tile Elements of Good
Character, but as he was accustomed,
almost daily, to treat this subject,
he concluded to take as his motto to
day, “Let the South venerate the
men who were the strength and glory
of the Old South.” His subject was
illustrated, almost from beginning to
end, by typical representatives of
great Southern Soldiers, Statesmen,
Divines and . Naval Captains, from
Washington, the.incomparable, to Ad
miral Semmes, the peerless warrior of
the wa ves. Jeffersonj Patrick Henry,
Henry Clay, Calhoun, Wm. L. Yaney,
Jefferson Davis, Dr. Thornwell,
Bishop Pierce, Stonewall Jackson,
Robt. E. Lee, Judge Longstreet, Ben
Hill, A. H. Stephens, Robert Toombs,
all these great-souled and brainy men,
the product of the Old South, receiv
ed, at the touch of the magical orator,
a brilliant painting and in such elo
quent and speaking colors, as to
transfix the hearer’s attention, and
implant them in his memory there to
remain forever. His tributes to
Washington, Calhoun, Yaney, Gen’l.
Lee, Jefferson Davis and Admiral
Seimnee, were too grand to be marred
by a feeble pencil as is ours—men
whose “names are writ, where stars
are lit.” Only justice can be done
the grand orator by reading his ad
dress in its entifety; and not fully
then; it will lack the expression, the.
■tterance, the spirit and ability with
which he spoke of deeds of heroic
yalour, courage in the cabinet, and
the pulpit, and the field—these must
have been seen, and beard, and felt,
that a full appreciation of the orator
and his subject can be had. His per
oration, was a masterly piece of elo
quence-full of force, beauty, bold
ness, grand images and lofty senti
ments.
The Old South should have the
monumental honors that her sons
have won for the grandeur and great
ness of this whole country. The New
South may gain glory yet in the great
battle with Ruxi-^.t looks that way
now; and for this much good let the
New South boast of her laurels.

Wednesday Afternoon.
There was a meeting of the ex-ca
dets in the chapel this afternoon at
3 p. m. Ex-Cauet John Allen, Esq.,
made a neat address of welcome to
his former associates, to which ex-ca-
i. D. Hpward gracefully respond-'
ed. Ex-Commandants Ol T. Kenan
and J. T. Mathis also made remarks.
The whole meeting with their late of
ficers at their head, marched to the
grounds to witness the drilling by the
Cadets of the College.
At 5 p. m. there was a drill by the
Cadet team that went to Macon, and
a dress parade by the cadet corps af
terwards.
The Ex-Cadets Re-Union.
The conception of this happy idea,
by some resident ex-members of the
College Cadets, was grandly illustrat
ed in its culmination and conclusion.
Every effort that an energetic and en
thusiastic set of young men could put

had no
throne in which to hold his court in
that social gathering, and though
Venus was away in her own boudoir,
getting ready for other fields in which
to sway her sceptre of Love, Beauty
and—yes, Agility, yet there was
present Faith, Hope, Temperance,
and cold tea, the beverage the wor
shippers of Confucius so unanimous
ly and intensely love; and Friendship
cementing all in ties of lasting
strength.
There were present no ladies, u
was of a nature not requiring their
presence to make it a success, how
ever much their services had been
needed and given before the banquet
began. The several ex-Commandants
were present, and actively en
