TUOnASVILLK FEITXALE COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT, Brilliant Eront of Rlontba tbe Feetivo To the Editor of The Observer. Tiiomasyille, N. C Jane 1. The commencement at our female college closed to-night with a brilliant concert, Dy iar tne most attractive event or the season. The entire commencement oc casion was a delightful series of intel lectual and esthetic enjoymentg, -such as are not often to be had within college walls, and the occasion was as pleasant and profitable as tne combined efforts of president, faculty and students could make it. Everything combined to make this, the twenty-fourth annual commencement, a success, and indeed it was a grand success. The day was perfect Thomasville was its gayest, the girls looked their prettiest and everybody their happiest. At 9.30 this morning the doors of the new chappel a large, elegant and com modious hall recently erected were thrown open and when an hour after the exercises began, every seat was oc cupied and the aisles and windows were filled, the audience representing every section of the State and every portion of the Piedmont region. After prayer and a chorus by the vo cal class, Miss Maggie Thomas, of Thomasville, welcomed the audience in a tastily written and happily delivered salutatory. A vocal trio preceded the delivery of school diplomas, which duty was performed fey the able and worthy president, Prof. H. W. Reinhart, in his usual good humored style, after which the orator of the day, Rev. W. A. Nel sonD. D., of Shelby, was introduced. DrJ Nelson didn't like the way com mencement orators had of confining themselves inlheir selection of themes to mere educational or philosophical subjects and therefore chose for his subject, "Girls," and he divided girls in to "little girls," "big girls," "fashionable girls," "womanly girls," and the "girl that ought to be," and without further introduction "dived" down into his ec centric subject with a boldness which would have startled a Billings or a Twain. But there were no fears for the good natured divine, and after an hours "disquisition on girls," in which he kept the audience in the best of humor by his jovial sayings and de lightful jokes, he came out unscathed with sl lovely boquet of flowers for a tropny. Whatever may have been the impression he made upon his audience, the opinion that it takes "divines for wit" certainly grew very popular in that audience before he closed and sat down amid great applause. ; A very fine overture three pianos "Caliph of Bagdad," followed the ad dress, and the president then delivered the belles-letters' and full diplomas to the graduates. A vocal solo, "Rock of Ages," by Miss Minnie Reinhart was rendered very happily, and the valedic tory was read by Miss Belle Wingate, daughter of the late president of wake Forest College. either the valedic tory or the salutatory too much cannot be said in praise. They were indeed far above the ordinary productions of college graduates and were characteriz ed for an absence of all sick sentimen tality, &c, so common in schoolgirl compositions, and, altogether, gave evidence of the general excellency of the training which the writers had re ceived in this as well as in kindred de partments. An anthem, "O, Praise the Lord," closed the exercises of the morning. . In the afternoon, your correspondent, through the kindness of the lady prin cipal, Mrs. Reinhart, was shown some olftcant work in oil ehromos and crayon by the young ladies of the college. The department of art is under the super vision of Mrs. Reinhart, a lady who has obtained enviable distinction by her naintines which have freauentlv taken the premium In the principal art galleries of the country. Among the paintings which were snown us we the following for the excellence : By Miss Alice Wilson Scene on the ; Rhine: Scene on the Elbe: Scene on the Danube : Boquet of Flowers ; Fruit Scene. .. - ' Paintings of flowers on satin and vel-. vet by Misses "Wilson andDraughan. Crayons oy miss uarrie uramer Group of, Deer; . Summer Flowers; Statuary. ' - ' ByJniss, Hyton Sn.oy Scene ofl the Alps; ooniigoi acene. ' By Miss Carrie Pell Qerman Scene; Flowers. it is tne universal expression among those who,. Itfve visited Thomasville, that there is : no college in the land more delightfully situated than this. The building, an eleaaut structure, is in the .midst or a paradise of s flowers 4 shrubbery and trees., in the front aAbeAutifuilattdscape garden . with delightful walks,; nd lovely .retreats ahdfirl the rear Js, a large grove where refreshing air andi cooling shades are to be, found mine more smcry weauier -TWrinaf t.ho ftftflmOOYA'' thelrftftflv large crowd was" augmehtei1y large numbers tr peopie uom. t-nerBurrouna-ine towns, and when the grand march, "March Brilliant," announced the open ing of the concert toe: caapei was niiea to its.Titmost.capaci an,d standing room wasTiox xo oe naa ac a premium.

A beautiful chorus by the vocal class was sung and the commencement of 1881 the most successful in the exis tence of the college was at an end. C. NEWS OF INTEREST. There is a very marked increase in the consumption of American wines in Kew York since 1879 80, because Amer ican wines are being made as cheap as foreign wines. The coinage of the United States Mints in the month of May was of gold 1,280,140 pieces, $9399,000 value ; 2,300, 000 standard silver dollars, and base 2, 645,000 pieces, 829,550 value. Total. 6.- 234,140 pieces, 812,228,550 value. John Graham, a ennviefc-in th "K7n- tucky penitentiary, hired a colored con- viet to cut nis band off, so that he could not be made to hackle hemp.. The ne gro performed the operation with a sin gle oiow oi an axe. ' The experiment of lighting the city of Akron, Ohio, by electricity has prov ed so satisfactory that five more sta tions are to be established, each with a tower of 175 feet high. Cleveland is to try tne experiment. How well the Republican Legisla ture Of Illinois will gerrymander that State on congressional districts is shown by the fact that the Republican districts will contain an average of 137, 000 inhabitants, while the Democratic districts will. con tain 166,000. It i3 pretty clear that the supposed bones of William Morgan, to whom the anti-Masons are to erect a monument at Batavia, belonged to some other fel low. Hence local people smile ; but the monument was going up somewhere, and the contributor ,io it voted that it might as well be at 'Batavia as any- where. Thurtow Weed ought to make the dedicatory oration. Freemasonry is quite prosperous in China. An Shanghai there are three lodges, working under English consti tutions, two under Scotch, one under American, and one under German; two chapters, one English and one Amer ican ; one Mark lodge, besides . several bodies of the Scottish Rite. A new En glish lodge, Northern lodgeJtPTo. 570, was recently constituted at shanghai. Our Consul at Smyrna has at last been able to arrive at the .exact losses from the Scio earthquake; The num ber of persons killed was 8,000 and the loss of Drorjertv 813.000.000. . The earth quake, it is now learned, was . felt on the mainland, killing a number or per sons there, And. extending as far as Smyrna, where, however, no serious damage was done." " T A cruel blunder was made in announ cing the verdict in a St. Louis murder case. The foreman of the jury handed the clerk several slips of paper, and tbe clerk read : " We find the prisoner not guilty, on the ground of insanity." The culprit's face lighted up with delight, and he exultantly shook hands with his counsel. "There's a mistake." said the foreman to the clerk; "you've read the wrong slip. The one that's signed is our verdict guilty, of murder in the first degree." . - ' It is stated in Railroad circles in New York that the Vioksburg , Shreveport and Chicago Railroad has been purchas ed for the Erianger Syndicate, which will give the Alabama and Great South era a through ' line from Chattanooga to Texas, making connections with the Texas Pacific.. The Nashville and Chat tanooga company propose to , complete the Lebanon Branch to Bristol, Tenn., there to connect with the Virginia line, thus giving, Nashville a direct commu nication with Norfolk and the seaboard. i i e i . ..
