Davidson College Commencement
Charlotte Observer.
The 49th annual commencement of
Davidson College closed vesterday witli
the addresses by the graduates, the
presentation of prizes and the confer
rinc 6f degrees. The hot rays of the
June sun were tempered by a delicious
western breeze which added to the
comfort and enjoyment of the occasion
bv the large throng of commencement
visitors. The exercises were opened at

ii .1 i i -i r. L

which brought Gov. Scales, who had
consented to be present and present the
)rizes to the winners. At 10:30 o clock,

and distiuguisneci visitors, rormed on

where the exercises were opened with

r. McKinnon, president of the col
lege, then introduced Mr. Charles S.
Gilmert of Greensboro, who delivered
the address of salutation. His words
were fittingly chosen and his address
was a polished effort.
Mr. Edward Mack, ot tort Mills,
S. ., was the next speaker and his
theme was "Communism in its de-
sr.rnp.tive relations to societv. His
theories were sound and his interpre-
ration of his text was unioue and inter-

Mr. Donald F. Shennard. of Lone

he discoursed upon "Materialism as op-

A Dastardly Deed.
Sunday, one mile above
Last Sunday, one mile above the
railroad bridge on the Holston River, a
small crowd of men congregated.
Among them were three young men,
Alexander Jones, Thomas Early and
John Davis. After some demonstrations
of ill feeling toward Davis, they took
him by force into the river about one-

could not swim and if carried in deep
water he would drown. After getting
into deep water they turned him loose
and swam tor the shore. Davis sank
to the bottom and was drowned before
I ii i i i i i i i
any one on ine oauK could gei 10 mm.
Jones and Early refused to go back and
help him out.' They have been arrest-
ed and had a preliminary hearing be-
fore Esq, Hugh Chestnutt hist Tues-
day, and, in default of bail, were com
niitted to jail. The Grand Jury being
in session, found a true bill against
them for murder n
1 This is one of the most outrageous
cases that nas ever occurred in our
country. When the body was recover
ed, marks of the murderer s fingers
were found on his wnsts and on his
body, caused by his hard struggles to
get loose. Davis is said to be a half
witted boy of about 17 years of age;
father and mother are dead. He came
from North Carolina, and has been
working in the neighborhood where he
was drowned, iust for his board and
clothes. Holston Review.

President Cleveland has accepted the

exhibition to take place in London in
May, 1887. Gen. A. T. Goehen, the
president of the general council of the
exhibition, has decided that the main
office in the United States shall be in
Philadelphia. President Cleveland will
open the exhibition from the White
House, and start the machinery by the

Ho More Seizures.
JOHN BULL GIVES CANADA ORDERS.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 12 It
is stated on the best official authority
that the British government has issued
orders to make no more seizures of
American vessels except when the vio
lation of the treaty of 1818 is so open
and flagrant that it cannot be win ked
at. So far as learned from guarded
official utterances, the imperial instruc
tions do not sustain the Canadian
construction that the tree-mile limit
does not mean three miles off a
headland. I
A Hush Feel There.
A man who was on his weary jour

one day:, and observed a sadness on all
faces. "Why this gloom?" querried
the old man as he laid down his bun
dle and felt for the front end of his
plug of tobacco. UG, Sage, we mourn
the loss of a good man," was the reply.
"Was he honored?" "He was." "Who
of you praised and encouraged him in
life?" asked the old man as he looked
around him. A hush fell upon the
crowd, and no one replied. "Praise
that conies after death, whispered the
Sage, "does not even cut down the un
dertakers bills. Better squander your
time sawing wood for his widow.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From oar Regular Correspondent.
Washington June 14, 188G.
Having entered upon the seventh month
of the first session of the forty ninth Con
gress, the lower House proposes to make an
elfort to crowd the work through within
the time consumed by the session ending
July 15th 1884. This prospect to the out
side observer, is not very promisiug; hut
those supposed to direct the majority of
the uooer arid lower Houses, say that it
can and probably will be accomplished.
There is already talk ot introducing a res
olution in the House fixing June 26th, lor
adjournment, with the expectation that the
date will not be set more than ten or
twelve days beyond that time.
The President and his wite have under
contemplation a tour of the northern lakes
Willi a select i j ui iiicuusihiuimkivu
steamer, during the summer. It is proua-
hie that they will spend
some time on the
sea-cost and in the mountain regions after

t.n their old home in Buffalo. According
to the programme'" thev will leave Buffalo
some time in August and make a trip which
will include Lake Erie, Huron and Michi
gan, making stops at points oi interest..
The urogram me may be varied or abandon
ed, but it is under serious consideration at
the White House and will probably be
carried out. Much will depend upon the
date oi the adjournment or congress. 11
congress does not adjourn before August,
the President will oi course ue uetainuti in

hams' term as Postmaster General, this
business became greatly mixed and certain
contracts were let whicli subsequently
proved not to have been entire business
like transactions. Postmaster Genera Vilas
is giving special attention to this clsss of
work under him, and together with third
Assistant Postmaster General Hazen, after
careful labor, now have binding contracts
wjiich, while they will doubtless yield fair
profits to the contractors, will, at the same
time, lie of great advantage and benefit to
the public at large. Take for instance the
contract for stamped envelopes just made
bv the postmaster General for the four
coining years commencing July 1st. Before
advertising for proposals for these envelopes
the Department had a great deal of pre-

paratory work to transact consisting chief
ly ot getting the most suitable paper-for
the various stj lea of envelopes, changing
the styles of the bid ones, and other work
of a similar nature. It is estimated t hat
there will be ordered by the Department
daring the coming year, $3,250,000
worth of stamped envelope. If it should
pay them on the basis of the present con
tract a disbursement of over f 950.000 over
and above that sura would be required.
1 he result will therefore be a savin? of
upward at a million of dollars or about 25

and official envelopes, this contract was
entered into on the 80th of June last and is
to run four years. The first vear is near
enough its close to enable a ven- rnm'At
Idea being formed as to how it has worked
so far and how it will work for the remain

it is estimated that the books will show
orders by the Denartment for sbbbHm
under the contract referred to amounting
to flJBB2.25S.5S9 ; and the amount paid for
them will show a decrease of about 2ft per
cent in the outlay for postage stamps, about
iz per cent in postal cards, and 45 percent
in other articles daring the previous fiscal
year. Altogether the Post office Depart
ment under the supervision of Postmaster
General Vilas is making an excel lent rec
ord in purchasing its supplies.

of Mr. Davis, and Blaine's lieutenant in the

Southern Bivouac for July.
The opening article in Southern Bivouac
for July is an account by F. G. de Fontaine,
now on the staff ot the New York Star, of
the bombardment of fort Sumter. The
illustrations are made from photographs
taken at the time. In America there are
only two monasteries maintained by the
Trappist monks, and no monastic order has
a more singolar history or follows more
rigid customs. One ot these monasteries,
in which the vow ot perpetual silence is
enjoined, is located at Dubuque, Iowa, and
the second is in Nelson county, Ky., a short
distance from Louisville. This second is
called the monastery of Gethsemane, and is
the subject ot a magazine artude by Morton
M. Casseday, The article is well-illustra-ted.
Also there will be an article on "Old-
Time Service," by Major J. M. Wnght, of
General Buell's staff, whose article on West
Point, published last year, was so well
received.

ITS DISEASES AND CM
This class of troublesome complaint em
braces a largo list, seme of which afflict
nearly every family in the land. Hereto
fore the treatment pf nearly ail these dis
eases has been very unsatisfactory and
unsuccessful, and the people have been
very much tlecei vtd by pretended remedies.
A majority are canted by an impure, viti
ated condition of the blood, and as most of
the blood remediesjof the day require 50 to
100 bottles before you discover that they
a
will not effect a cure, we offer B.B.B., which
makes positive cures by the use or only a
few bottles.
The most common of the akin diseases
which are cured by the use of B. B. B., the
only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows.
Eczema,

Old Ulcers,
Impetigo,

is sought by the use of cosmetics and all
sorts of external applicants, some of them
being poisonous, f
All females love to look pretty (which
gentlemen do not object to) and a smooth,
soft , clear complexion adds greatly to fe
malc charms.
Tike use of B. B.!B. will purify your Mood,
will remove blotches, splotches and bumps
that appear upon the face and peck, and
will tinge the pale cheek with the roseate
hues of nature. One or two bottles will
convince any one -of its value. No family
should fail to keep B. B. B. in the house, as
there is no family medicine its equal.
Rheumatism.
One author says : "Rheumatism is due
to the presence in the blood of a vegetable
organism of definite character."
Another says : "It is due to the presence
of a poisons in the blood which of the
natnrc of a miasm."
The disease hating its origin in the blood.
it is reasonable to suppose that it most be
cured by remedies directed to the blood.
A successful remedy must produce cer
tain changes in the composition of the
blood, and when; this has been accomplish
ed, all pain, swelling and stiffness of the
joints subside, ;
This accountsTor the reason why exter
nal applications. fall to produce permanent
relief. .
But we now hve the remedy which acts
like magic in giving relief to all forms of
rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism
of the joints, muscles and heart. It also
cures syphilitic "and mercurial pains and
rheumatism in an incredibly short time.
The fact cannot, bo denied that B. B. B.
(Botanic Blood 2altn) has proven itself to
be the most speedy and wonderful remedy
for all forms at' rheumatism ever before
known. Thosejwho were prostrated in bed
and could not get about, have been cured.
Men with twoefntches, and hobbling along;
with stiffened and painful joints, withered
flesh, loss of sleep and appetite, arc cured
by the use of Bl B. B. Cast aside all other
remedies, use B. B. B. and you will soon
have no use forjrrntches.
Many who read this will refuse to be
cured by the use of B. B. B., but wc advise
all such to drop us a postal card for oar
Book of Wondfr, free, which is filled with
startling proof of cures made here at home.
It also contains full information about
blood and skin diseases, which everybody
