COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF THE La
DIES INSTITUTE The Greenlaw Hall
was filed to its utmost capacity last
night by the friends and admirers of the
pupils and teachers of the Memphis La
dies Institute. This institution Of learn
ing was established about two years
since, and already has acquired a name
and popularity that many older estab-
lishments might well be proud Of
Among the pupils may be found repre-
sentatives of the first families of the
city, and it is but justice to the talented
ladies' at the head of the institution
Mesdames NJ. P. Southworth ard +. +.
McGehee-to say that in all branches OF
study the young ladies will compare IA
vorably with any in the city. The exer-
cises last night passed off very pleas
antly, the different cho.,ises sung being
very much admired, especially the
Boat Song" which was given by
about forty young ladies, who
aside from the musical effort, with
their tasty dresses. red sashes, choice
flowers, bright eyes !lwitching curls, en-
chanting forms and lovely faces, formed
fairy scene of beauty such as an artist
of genius would love to gaze upon that
he might be furnished with a subject
worthy of his ambition to transfer to
canvass. The Conversations Fran
Gals" we're rendered with a fuency and
vim astonishing when the length Of time
these ladies' have been studying the Ian
euage is taken into consideration. The
various essays were highly spoken Of by
those who were so fortunate as to be close
enough to hear them We have not the
space to particularize the various pieces
of music, songs, etc, delivered, so we
give the programme entire ~
