THE Eastern colleges are having Il rare
good time with their Commencement"
and COMMUNICATIONS" Before the war
a great deal of interest was felt III these
university feteS. 1t is for the good of the
nation that body of carefully educated
young men should go forth every year
from institutions of acknowledged merit
TO take their places in the great ranks
struggling for honor and usefulness-
These are the competitors for position
and influence from whom the largest
achievements are expected. They bring
to the severe ordeal of life superior adj
vantages and the country has reason TO
anticipate that in every branch ofscience,
art, letters and politics, they will prove
worthy of the high educational privi-
leges they have enjoyed. The COM
mencement at Cambridge was brilliant
ly attended The ceremonies at Harvard
in honor of students fallen i'll the war
were of unusual interest. Union College
has had its share of public favor, and old
Dartmouth has sustained its ancient re-
nown Many of our prominent military
men attended these college celebrations,
and seemed to take as mach delight in
the festivities and trophies of peace as
they had shown ardor and manly courage
in the deadlier occupations of war

NovED PLACE OF AMUSEMENT. -
Here is an anecdote extracted from
the London Te1ey-oph's account of
the building of the new bridge at
BlacAfriars, and worth quoting:
At the building OF Westminster
Bridge, diving bells were used, but
difficulty arose oe very unexpected
kind. The men il the bells, COM
fortably out OF sight Of their employ
ers, found themselves under no COM
pulsion to work. One would not
think at first the bottom Of the great
London sewer was pleasant place,
for the liquid which flows in the
Thames, and is by courtesy called
water, is 50 thick that ii bell few
feet below the surface, it is as dark as
night, though men have been down
in sixty feet OF sea-water and worked
hy daylight. But the divers at West
minister did not m;nd the gloom.
Lighting MP their Candles they
used, instead Of working, to play cards
and read newspapers. They took
down beer. and even tried smoking
during the sub aqueous debauches,
but the effect upon the breathing was
not agreeable, and they took to chew
ing instead. By giving random
signal every now and then to the men
directing the movements of the bell
from above, they could convey the
impression that they were working,
and their little amusements were un-
interrupted for some time, TIL at last
they were found out Diving dresses
and helmets were then introduced,
and the use of bells was given up with
very beneficial results.

The first heat was run by Mr.. Bates,

On a Pilgrimage of Pardon.
BY JOHN HAPPY.

After lodging about promiscuously
for a period Of four uncomfortable
years-alternately the whistling Of
angry bullets and the inquisitive and
scrutinizing gaze of cruel conscript-
ors, the undersigned awoke at Last,
about the grand elimination, to dis
cover that his agility as an artful
dodger had finally to be put to most
ingenious exercise, to come out, even
at the diminutive end of the horn.
At my years, q man is not apt to be
taken unawares; but I confess to a de-
gree OF battied self-possession, when
the amnesty proclamation, in all its
significant import, first slnote upon
my conscience. l began to feel as
though I had played away four years
in a game of political faro, and
handed in my checks to old Time,
the remorseless dealer with becoming
amiability, and proceeded among
others Of the Faithful on Pilgrimage
after Pardon, to the great Mecca Of
successful aspirants to Congressional
distinction. Unanimously appointed
q delegate to reconstruct the Onion,
by convention Of adnliring fellow
citizens, l proceeded in company with
five respectable bales of cotton, TO
defray expenses to Washington, via
Mobile and the Crescent City. To say
that that cotton was entangled in the
meshes OF red tape, about the Gulf
Department, but lily expresses the
reality. Shipped, by permission Of
the higher authorities appreciating
the patriotism Of the motive, it fell
into the hands OF subalterns. who
would have kept NE to this blessed
hour working it through, if l had Lot
placed it in the charge of shrewd
Boston broker, who was flush enough
to make an advance. Reached Wash
lngton about the time the swarm of
pardon-seekers had swelled to the
magnitude of a ''large and highly ap-
preclative audience around the Ex-
ecutive gate way.
Had a personal interview with q
Chief Magistrate, and asked him for
small Pardon, if he had any more
left. Chief Magistrate wanted to know
what position l held in the rebel
army. The answer was faint. some
what hesitating, and a little shaly-I
said: "Quartermaster" Chief Aiaci-
strate chuckled, apd turned his head
to conceal a sardonic smile. INV
ancient and venerable friend he
