TIE Coxcrrv.-The Concert and GRADUATE
ipg exercises, last Friday night, which were
tbe closing scenes Of the first ten months Of
the GAINESVILLE Female Academy, under the
auspices Of Rev.J. D. West and his corps Of
accomplished teachers, were all that could
have been desired. Although It had rained
throughout the day, and the streets were ex-
tremely muddy, at an early hour the large
and magnificent Hall was crowded to its ut
most capacity, with the beauty aud man
hood of our city and surrounding country.
We cannot speak of the exercises in detail
as laid down in the programme, but in gene
raj terms we must say that the performances
upon the Piano exhibited great degree Of
proficiency and thorough training. The Es-
says what we heard Of them) were elegant
compositions, and reflected much credit upon
the young ladies who delivered them. The
valedictory, of which we heard most, was
beautiful, and brought an involuntary tear
10 many eyes. DR.. Young then arose and
made short but well. timed, extemporaneous
address to the graduates, Misses O. Smith,
ID. Crouch, G. Willis, and A. Warfeld-when
Mr.. West proceeded to present them with
their diplomas, in a few beautiful and touch
ing remarks. Then came the Cdntdtd, Ia
which all the music scholars PARTICIPATED
This was very lengthy, but in connection
with the beautifully sttired fair ones, the
tastefully decorated stage and brilliant gas
light, prese nted scene of exceeding splen-
dor, over which Miss Mollie Settle, as chosen
Queen of the Flowers, presided with grace
and beauty. This wound up the exercises at
the Female Academy, which is the pride Of
our city. We hope the worthy President,
Mr.. West, may now receive that substantial
aid, which is his due, and which his labors
and merits so justly entitle him, 80 that he
can open the second year Of his school upon
solid and sure basis. .,, -....
We cannot close this notice Of the Acade-
my without speaking Of the popularity SO
deservedly won by Mrs. Lander, the worthy
and accomplished Matron. She has given
universal satisfaction to both parents and
pupils. A better selection for the position
could not have been made.

the reputation of DR.. Coleman, as the most
reliable and successful practitioner, in his spe-

himself more earnestly and assiduously to

Died.
Fifteen Tears Ago and Now.

Fifteen years ago, HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS was struggling into notice
against the prejudices which everything new
however excellent, is doomed 10 encounter,
To-day it stands at the head Of all the tonic.
and Alternative preparations in existence. Its
celebrity has evoked many limitations but no
rivals. Physicians pronounce It the ONLY
SAFE sTIMULANr that has ever been introdu"
ced into the sick chamber. In the hospitals
of the Army and Navy, the surgeons find it
the very best tonic for conyalescents, and re-
port it as invaluable for sustaining the vigor
of troops on the march, as remedy for sour
Wy and all scorbutic affections, and as the
only specific for sea-sickness. California and
Australia have emphatically endorsed it as
the MrsER's MEDICINE par excellence, and in
Spanish America and all the tropical eli
mates, it is considered the only reliable an
tidote to epidemic fever.
There ism mystery about the causes Of its
success. 1t is the only stomachic and alter.
alive In which are combined the grand re-
quisites of a mild, pure, and unvitiated vege-
table stimulant, with the finest selection of
tonic, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutic, apperent
and depurative herbs, plants, roots and barks
that have ever been intermixed in medici-
nal preparation.
1t is also proper to state that the Bitters
are sold exclusively in glass, and never, un-
der any circumstances by the gallon or the
barrel. Impostors and imitators are abroad,
and the only safeguard the public has against
them is to see that the Bitters they buy bear
the engraved label and note of hand Of
Mesrs. Hostetter h Smith, and the Govern
ment stamp over the cork Of the bottle.

Or. SToUr.-From a correspondence we
publish to-day, it will be seen that DIR. Stout
has resigned his position as Superintendent
of the Orphan Asylum. His reasons for the
resignation are such as do honor to both his
own high character and to the noble cause
he feels constrained to give into the keeping
of other hands. We trust bis resignation
will not necessitate his departure from our
community. We only express general wish
when we say that we hope his future pur-
poses may not prevent his citizenship Of
Clarksville. Such sterling manhood and
abilities as his, all will he 10th to part with.
But wherever he may go he will bear with
him the l1indcst memories of this whole
community. fr. -r.

department is wild and chaotic.

THE GENERAL APPEARANCE OF THE ExPosI-
TIoN. ..
One is bewildered by the mass of
wealth, and by the multiplicity of objects
and of forms OF contains. The visitor
goes from surprise to surprise, until he
becomes a standing exclamation point,
He comes out wondering where it all came
from. and whether the world has made q
sudden advance, or whether it is only the
result of progressive development. He
is so bewildered that the town looks like
fair, and the Place dc Concorde. with
it's magnificent monuments and decora-
tions, appears only like continuation Of
what he has just scen. They even seem
to turn around in circles. like the enchan.
ted galleries of the Exhibition If il
produces such an effect on Partisan,
what effect must it produce on the poor
japanese, and, Chinese. and Liponians
and Finlandese, who cape in utter incom.
prehensibility through its wonderful cir.
cles2 ? The tales Of wonder they will tell
when they get home will sound like fairy
tales, good for the amusement of chill
dren.

FHEANERICAN DEPARTMENT..

The American depa rtment looks as lift
would be finished last. Aud yet there is
not much in it--nothing like what we
had anticipated by the row made in Con-
gross about it, and especially by the army
of Commissioners which the Government
took cafe to send out. Up to the evening
of the opening there was about one Object
to each Of The sixty Commissioners and
these honorable gentlemen are in fair
way Of becoming as were the thirty.four
in lo55, the laughing stock Of the Exhi-
bition. Most Of the gentlemen, if they
could have been admitted to see their de-
paItnent before presenting their creden-
tials, would never have done so. Never
rheless, the space allotted to US will be
filed, and with. objects which will make
their maik in the Exhibition. Each
department in the Exhibition is decorated
III the stJ lc and III the colors peculiar to
the nation to which it belongs, and that
in all the smaller departments especially
the effect is very striking ard very char
acteristic.
Now, it SO happens that the American
department, like the people iS represents,
is very plain aud unpretontious--in fact,
it looks like hall, or an unfinished place
and is called mean aud niggard!y by the
company which bulls the Palace. Along
side of it, and along its whole length. with
fifteen feet alley intervening is the gau-
dy and richly decorated department. Of

THE FRENCH DEPARTMENT.

The French department is naturally
the most wonderful and the most interest
ing to the general observer. Its bronzes
and sculptured woods are especially hors
Ggne. Those Of other countries are mere
toys compared to them. The porcelain
Of Sevres and the tapestry of the Gobelins
and of Reauvais are also beyond all COM
parison with other countries, In every
article of luxury which is used in the fur
nishing Of house. or every object of
costly wearing apparel, from the diadem
Of diamonds on the head to the boots OH
the feet the French excel. But it is all
luxury, luxury. All for the rich, moth
ing for the poor, 1t is the perfection
which will draw much money from the
rich, not the perfection which will bring
comfort to the poor.
