GEORGETOWN CoLLEGE.-The Republic Of this
this institution
In the year 1885, five gentlemen, the prin-
cipal Of whom was the Rev. John Carroll after
wards the first Archbishop of Baltimore, formed
a design Of building an Academy at George
town, Potowmack River, Ma,yland.' In 1889
the first house was built in 1892 the schools
commenced, and in 1898 we find it The Col
lege of Georgetown, Potomac River, State Of
Maryland In May, 1916, Congress raised it
to the rank of University. In June, 1851,
the Medical Department Of the Georgetown
College was opened in Washington, d. C. The
college is situated on the northern bank of the
Potomac, and commands full view of George
town, Washington, and greater part Of the
District of Columbia. Its situation is pecu-
liarly healthy"
The number Of pupils during the past year
is one hundred and ifty-two.
We have heretofore spoken of the exercises
on Thursday, but gentleman who was present
gives US a glowing account of their character.
From the description furnished by him, we feel
convinced that we would be doing injustice to
ourselves as well as to that excellent institu-
ton, were we to omit noticing the able and elo-
quent address of the distinguished President,
DIR. Rider, to the graduating class and to the
audience. To say that it was equal to any pre-
vious effort Of this distinguished divine, would,
as our informant assures US, be but faint praise.
DR.. Rider surpassed even himself. His glowing
eulogy on the Union-his scathing denuncia-'
tons of those who would weaken its bonds or
sever its ties-called forth q responsive burst of
applause from all who were within the sound
of his voice. If Dr. Rider were O politician,
this speech, our informant says, would elevate
him far above the many who are called great,
in the estimation of those who are satisfied with
our Union as it is. We should have been most
happy to hear DR.. Rider when descanting upon
so noble theme as the integrity and glory of
the American Union.
The annual address, before the Phiodemic
Society, was delivered by John w. Archer, esq.,,
of the Richmond bar and the Society we learn
has selected Richard H. Clarke, esq, of Wash
ington, as their orator for the next commence
ment. % s.

NE have never thought the occasion a fitting
one, for the exhibition of our disapproval Of the
wrongs committed by their government and
countrymen. We do not exhibit to them the
picture of plundered and starving people, nor
remind them Of the wo and degradation of men
and women-their brothers and sisters-in the
manufacturing and mining districts Of England.
We could have exhibited to them Irishmen, oc-
cupying high, useful and honorable positions in
our country, and said to them, :" These men,
who were once sorrowful, poverty stricken,
and spiritless under your heartless and oppres-
sive rule, are here free, happy, and indepen-
dent, enjoying the blessings you denied them,
and comforting benefits on the country to which
they have flown for refuge. And yet the per-
sonages we have named were not invited to our
shores and no obligation rested upon us to re.
frain from imparting such practical lessons,
save the observance Of the rites Of q hospitality
we have so often seen betrayed
The above account is from the pen of pre-
JUDGED man, and comes to us by way of an
impure channel; and therefore may not be en-
tirely accurate. We have never yet known
such things to pass unresented where there
was IN American possessed of the power Of
speech. That the shameful insult was offered,
however, is highly probable; and it should pre-
sent good reason to our countrymen to do
their utmost in getting up periodically Ma
tional Exhibition Of such character as shall
effect more good and at smaller expense than
will be realized to our country from the present
an Exhibition at the Capital of their nation,
that shall prove the source Of a radiating light
to the nation.
That the "Great Exhibition will prove
great trap in the long run is what may well be
expected Am. TEL.

TIE ExHxBIrIos Of the Georgetown Classical
and Scisntvc academy, under the charge of the
Rev. THHoDoRx SInrsos, as Principal, and
ALExAHDEs M. WOODS, A. B., as Assistant, took
place In Georgetown last evening, at Forrest
Hall.
The exercises were opened by an appropriate
prayer by the Rev. John M. P. Atkinson
An appropriate piece Of music was then per-
formed by the Marine band. 1t seemed to ex-
cite and to animate the students, particularly
those young gentlemen who delivered their re-
spective orations in Latin, Greek, and German
Masters Stephenson, Bowie, and William G..
Bridges. Nor must we forget little Williams,
who, in good, plain English, 80 theoretically
recited the revolutionary piece whose burden
was, "We must fight"
The remarks on the Union, by Master Comp
ton, were well received-one of the many evil
dences Of the undoubted loyalty of the ladies'
The character Of Napoleon Bonaparte was de-
picted and exceedingly well delivered by I. G.
Bowie. The characters from English story, of
King Edward and Warwick, were well sustained
by Masters s. b. B. Wilson, and VIM. Cruik
shank. For want of little experience in the
tread of the stage, the young gentlemen do not
sufficiently change their positions from the right
to the left hand. 1t gives more freedom to a
reciter, as is known to oil histrionics.
The closing piece was both satirical and
amusing; and as all performed their parts well,
it would seem invidious to particularize few
who kept the audience in excellent spirits.
The professors who have had the training of
the young gentlemen committed to their charge,
may well congratulate themselves on the prof.
cheney Of those who have demonstrated that
their time has been indeed well spent.

PARTIEs.--ThereIs is. something peculiarly So
cial and grateful in those parties or king balls
on a small scale which are peculiar to the ere
ole population. We attended one a few even
ings since, and among the crowded. fine looking
and'gentlemanly young men, Of various trades
and professions-and while gazing at the beau
ty and grace which dazzles and captivates--
could not refrain from meditating upon the
vast difference in this description of gatherings
to those of the American population. That
difference all understand without the necessity
of our mentioningit. We trust that these par
ties will continue as spring advances--and that
the lovely flowers of the Parish will be induced
to leave their retreats, and come out in their
bloom and beauty for the admiration Of the
worthy and the meritorious.
