Hishop Horthrop Eresid Ing. r v;;tr 'Jc v;r To the Editor of The Observer: Hickory, Nx. 0., June 30, 1885. The annual commencement exer cises of Mt. St. Joseph's Academy of the Blue ridge, - took place here to day . and as usual, - reflected great credit on the institution. This Acad emy for young ladies, situated, en one of the highest and most picture eeque elevations of our town, is un der the charge of the Sisters of Mercy ladies, of the highest order of refine ment and culture, who have devoted their lives to the cause of education. Six y ears ago this institution was es tablisbed. here, and it is . fast becom ing one of the most successful and .popular educational establishments of the South. This fact iclearly evi denced by the large number of young ladies from different States of the Union who attended the school Uur . ing the past scholastic. ear, and took part in ,the commencement .exercises this morning. The hall of iheAcade my was tastefully adorned wjth rious pieces of art executed by the pupils, which silently but eloquently attested .tne earnest application oi uie ycung ladies, as welias the profiden cy of their skillfuljgfuides add teach ers. Long beforetlO a. m., the hour at which the exercises began, crowds of citizens and visitors could be seen wending their way to .the Convent grounds," and soon the hall ancUcorri- dors of the building were, densely crowded with the eager friends and patrons of; . the institution. As the grand march vi a3 played on the piano, the pupils entered the hall, marchirg with a graca and elegance that captivated all present. They were no sooner seated than the : pro gramme was begun, and for two hours the audience was delightfully enter tained with recitations and dialogues in English and French, interspersed with vocal and instrumental music ot a high order which wei e admirably selected and equally well rendered. Thesalutatory was delivered by Miss LoOney, of Georgia, and was chaste and to the point. Several young ladies exhibited marked musical abit ity. Among them were particularly noticed Misses Cox, Woodcock and Davidson, of North Carolina, Misses Burt, Commerford and Price, tf South Carolina, Miss Tappan, of Ten nessee, and MissLooney, of Georgia. The French recitation; Picciol&. by Miss Price, was delivered with an ease and correctness nf accent that elicited universal admiration. "Mary Stuart," by several of the larger young ladies - was highly applauded, and the '.Quarrel among the Flow- ers1' by the little girls, interested and delighted the audience. The valedic tory by the graduate, Miss O'Connell, of South Carolina , reflected grt at credit on the young lady, .and J was delivered with, an . earnestness' and depth of feeling that moved all. 'pres ent. " The exercises were presided ov r by Rt. Rev. Bishop Worth rop, who awarded the premiums and medals to the successful pupils, and at the close, in a brief but eloquent-address, congratulated the youug ladies on their success, and the good Sisters on the rapid grov th of the Academy, and dwelt upon the high aim of this , institution of learning, which, while imparting a thorough knowledge in the arts and sciences, does not neglect the still more essential training of the heart. . Besides - the Rt. Rev. -Bishop there were present Very Rev. M. S. Gross, of Charlotte, Rev. W. ?A. McCarthy, of Macon, Ga., Rev. J. JMonaehan; of Greenville, S. C., and Rev. E. .1. McGinily, of Hickory. - Carolina. The Futile Tennre-of-Offlee Act, Baltimore San. . .... . The present law in theory preserves the Senate's right to share the power of removal ' practically, as against a hostile President, it amounts to nothj ing. ; For instance, there have been a number of officials suspended by President Cleveland since the ad journment of the Senate. These gen tlemen will remain suspended until some time, next summer, in spite of any thing that the Senate can do in their behalf. If the Senafce adjourns without having confirmed any sue cessors to them they would return to office. v. But the Senate not. being then in session, the President could again suspend them, and so on indef initely. In short, whatever may be said for the constitutional power.Jt has been shown by practical experis ence that the Senate cannot exercise any effective control over the matter of removals. As the law stands . to- day it may hamper the action of a - conscientious and scrupulous Presi dent, but it is powerless to prevent him from, putting put of office every body he does not want in. The tneo ry which prevailed up to 1867 was at 'least capable of working practice. The one which is mado" the basis c f the tenure-of-office act is practically inoperative. Interesting Railroad Item.

' DAILY CHARLOTTE OESiSRVEE: FR;I D A V , JULY 3, 18 85. THE NEW OREEANSIJIIXT. Over a Million Dollars Coined of Which Tbere is no Record. New Orleans, July 2 A morning paper contains a statement that over one million dollars have been coined at the New Orleans mint, of whish there U no official record.' The coins age act of 1873 made it the duty of the directors of the mint to have a general supervision of the U. S. mints and assay offices. The fir3t director anting under that law was the Hon. H. R Liinderman, and in his report on the subject he gives the statistics of coinage in the several mints, showing the total amounts and de nomination of money at each place for each' year of their existence. The New Orleans mint was opened for busines in 1838. Subsequently money of every denomination was made there. The directors' statement is brought down to January 31, 1861, up to which time there had been a total coinage of $40,148,740 in gold tn $29,764,353 in silver, making a grand-total at the New Orleans mint from its beginning in 1838, to Janua ry 1861, booh silver and gold of $69. 913,093. The date at ' which the di rector's report closed was the date at which the mint fell into the hands of the Confederates, Lousiariia having seceded from the Union by ordinance adopted in the State convention of January 26, 1861, aVd the 29th of the same month, all the Federal offices in the State including the mint were directed by the ordinance adopted that day to be transferred to the cus tody of the State of Louisiana and the 25th of March" following they were ordered to be transferred to the care of the Confederate States. D jcuments lately brought to light it is stated show that subsequent to the rnint going into the hands cf Louisiana arid the Confed rate Gov eminent and up to May 30 of the same year there were coined $254,000 rigbld double eagles and $1,101,216 5'J in silver half dollars, thus making a total coinage of $1,355,216 50 Whilethe mii.t was in the enemy's! bands what was done with this mon ey does not appear from any availa ble records, but the fact of the coin, age as stated is shown on the books of the coiner at that time and in order to make up the true amount of the actual coinage of the New . Or leans mint this sum mut be taken into account. There was no regular coinage of precious n etals into Con federate specie under Confederate auspicts although the New Ojleats mint remained in their control until Apiil 26, 1862. when the city was taken hj" the Federal forces. - THE UNIVERSITY.

It was not a dude, with smooth hair, f r a mere dashing beau in good clothes, much less a spendthrift loud but would be fcrespec'able scamp, who wouldgfirst ruin ;his wife's life and then mortgage her silver. The young lady graduate, of course wantedaman that amounted - to something, that was somebody and could do a man's part in the "household and in the world..-:.. n : : In this too. she expressed the uni versal yearning of all the girl gradu ates and the other girls, too. But bless their dear hearts, did it ever occur to them to ask of what earthly use the a vet age giri graduate could be to such a man Will she paint plaques for hiro; fiing little fehips of French in his ear; drum on the piano and wrack his nerves; dress fine for the street and be a dowd . at home; negleet her body and her mind and think that her only mission is to be cared.ffor? Of course she wants a man ; needs one badly. But suppose she begins to query what she will do with him- or for ' him when he is found.

More than one medical authorefcv. says the Boston Herald, has admon ished people of the danger. of running to catch a train, espetially those who are subject to heart disease,, one of the most common ailments in these latter daya. The following from an English paper may semre to- empiva size the warning: A few dayssiate a railway clerk, age twenty, was found dead in a sitting posture int. a secona class railway carriage whea it arnvea at Woolwichv At the inquest it was stated that the- deceased had been suffering from iseart disease for two or three years, aad it5 was sup posed that he had haurxied to catch the train that morniag. The surgeon who made, the post c&ortem examina tion stated that the heart was enlarged Anotner case of deata from exertion in a man sufferinar Srom" a diseased heart had occurred. A signal man at a Brixton railway station, while puis ling on the cars, suddenly -fell 15back ward, ana on the.arrival of the- sur geon was pronounce to be .dead- The widow stated at tho inquest thai tb deceased had been, treated ? for affec-i tion of the heart for some, time; In this case there does not seem to. have been a post mortem examination. Yet another death, from exertion has occurred A yomg lady,i aged 16, expired suddenly in a gynanasium after performing a feat of skill. Ac cording to the medical evidence, she was suffering from valvular disease of the heart. How often has the hurry to catch a train,, or some Other suds den exertion, throwing extra work on a dilated, fatty, or otherwise dw seased heart, resulted in fatal syncope. It is duty to warn .such patients of the risk they will run if they allow any consideration of business or con venience to tempt them to a- single rash act of this kind.

Restraining: tlie . Uquo t Traffic. New York Evening Post (IndJ Prohibitionists often object to all j attempts at regulating the liquor traffic bv the lmoositun. of a tax uoon the seller or by the requirement of a heavy fee for the privilege, upon the ground that the vending of spir- ltuous arinKs i- a.-cniue, wmuu vup State has no right to legalize. The Supreme Court of Illinois ; has laid down the law on this subject in a way which will : probably, surprise such neon.'e. The court declares that sell ing liquor, is a common la w right of the vender, and that it is subject to such rules and regulations as the law-making power of the State may see fit to impose. This is obviously the common-sense view of the mat ter. The trouble with the. Prohibis tionists is that they entirely mistake the character of the act ot drinking i liquor, for that is what it all comes back to They say that the State would have no right t license men to receive stolen goodsv and that it has no more right to license men. to sell intoxicating drmk&. But fur a man to steal is absolutely and neces sarily a crime, while lor him to take a drink of l?uor or halS a.dozen it r that matter is an entirely mnoce act, with whicjh society has no col- cem, unless the effect cf the liqucr makts him a disoiderly Person ur a charge upon the community. Expe rience shoves that it does produce this- effect in a large- proportion of cases, and the State has, therefore, the right to place restrictions pbn the I eale of liquors.
