are vivscious and active unable to converse, they
yet say few words, and they exhibit feelings OF
decided affection or aversion, The mystery in which
they are wrapped is impeneirAole but fascinating
Their resemblance to the prints and carved heads
from Central American ruins, with which we have
been lorg familiar is striking, and they are, beyond
any question, of the most remarkable ard inter-
es,irg exhibitions ever offered to the public.
EXHIBITION OF THE NEW OAK USIvEa-
sIrY.-The semi annual exhibition was held yester
day morning in the chapel OF the University. The
exercises were distributed among eleven gentlemen,
mostly OF the junior class Win four representatives
from the College Societies. The speakers were
Messrs. Abbott, Acheson, Briggs, Bennett, Potts,
Pel texcused,) Shapter, Sterling, Talmage, Vernon
and Wilen We did not hear all the ora.ions, but
those which We did hear gave the greatest saiisfac
ton to the numerous audience. We noticed one
happy featuTe-the introduction OF music after
every Grafton. Such al arrangement cnivens an
other~he rather heavy occasion, for noswith-
standing the energetic eloquence and swelling
periods of the graceful orators, there is strong
family resemblance in exhibition pieces and 1t
was hard to persuade ourselves yesterday that We
had not listened many times to the same discourses
at various commencements and exhibitions. 1t was
all the peasantsr, however, for that. Another cir
cemstaDce was new to US, but most pleasing. At
the close OF Mr.. Benefits Grafton, a cluster Of
vIeaths fell upon the platform, amid general ap-
plause-the laurels of successful effort We have
no eoubt, although could not stay to note, that
each kLisLt IN the literary tourney so rewarded
Tha bab Land cd To
testlvsls, ard recalls those of another time and
county. We hope il will not fall into neglect, but
that the gentle auditors Of these occasions will con-
true thus appropriately to express their salts
faction.
~ A fine exhibition of the alliance be-
tween Aldermen and rowdies occurred in the First
Ward night before last, whore Alderman Moore at.
tempted TO discharge two persons who had been ar
rested on charge of robbery and assault BY the
frnness of Capt. Silvey, however, the Alderman
was obliged to 60 home without his pets. Whoever
remembers the election In that Ward last fall, will
readily account for the Aldsrmans lively interest in
the safety of these hopeful vagabonds We trust
thstevery Police Captain will initiate Capt. Svsys
example, and put an efectual stop to this gross out
rage OF justice by the unprincipled men who BY I'M
prRcped votes are too often elected to the Legis-
latuTe.
