Nh. Enron; Having had the pleasure Of
attending several Of the anniversary " cop-
menceucnts" Of our colleges, permit me to
claim sp~cs for passing notice Of two vth-
- intspding disparagcmcnt to any otvrs.
First. ~ Female State College, at Menu kis,
Tenn, under DR.. Charles Collins, forestry
tho able and efficient president Of old Dick
inson, Is nourishing institution, and Is ait
uated In one Of the most beautiful and
healthy places to be found In the South. In
common with other colleges, especially those
In tho Sssutl, this Institution isaHSrcd a
good deal during the war, but has revived,
aud has before u now the prospect Of album
dant success. Without particularixlng, |
will say that In every department, from fresh
man to senior, the young ladies acquitted
themselves In the most ready and happy
manner. We hesitate not to bespeak for
this Female College liberal patronage from
every section Of the land. The able and elo-
giant baccalaureatc discourse was delivered
by Rev. DR.. Winfield, Of Camden, Ark.
Al Old Dickinson, Carlisle, Pa, all the
exercises during commencement week have
been of high order and OF the most salts
factory character. Waving cnoomlum upon
the orations before the different societies,
religious and literary, all Of which were
marked with uncommon ability, We only
glance at the oration before the alumni, de-
llvered In the most mastery manner by Rev.
o. II. Tiffany, Of New Jersey. The house
was dcnsely packed. The subject was
Progress" and the argument Of the
learned orator was that neither change nor
prosperity, nor intellectual development In
this life was the end Of progress, but that
this life was the ante-chamber to the higher
and nobler and purer life beyond. The at
tendance during the whole week was said to
have been the largest secn for many years
In Carlisle. This college il evidently enter.
ing uPo" career Of unusual success aud
/ prosperity. She has many friends and pa
irons. The board Of trustees resolved that
the grammar school should be abolished.
Many improvements were authorized, both
about the campas and college buildings.
! The exercises Of commencement week
closed with brilliant "lcvcc," given by the
able and popular president, DR.. Dashiell. A
number Of distinguished gentlemen from
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington and
other places honorcd the occasion with their
presence. Long may Old Dickinson live,
the friend Of popular education and science,
and the alma mater Of some OF the most

hope to gain the necessary funds by means
OF voluntary subscriptions. The choice Of

TIE music of "Hamlet" promises to be-
come the most popular music of the day In
London. Piano forte arrangements from 1t
by Vanttirot, Ncustedt, Ketterer, Kruger
and polsas by Strauss and others.
RossISI was quite modest man when on
the subject Of his own music. He thought
that the third act Of "othello,'' the second
Of "Tell" and the whole Of "Il Babiere"
might perhaps live; but he doubted whether
his other works would survive himself.
TIE Pauslavlst committee at Moscow has
set aside a considerable annual subscription
from the funds ut Its disposal for establish
ing an educational and literary connection
between Russia and the slavonians, OF Tur
key, and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
This subscription amounts to about 10000.

the music itself, with an opera, has n,
weight with the public, but that everything
depends on the popularity Of female singer
The London Times musical men say tina

Longstreet, Hood and Beauregard-
Ex.Rebel Leaders In Civil Life.

A correspondent OF the Boston Trdpster
writes from New Orleans;
"Into the uncompleted custom-ho
upon which General Beauregard was working
when he abandoned architecture for the
field, VIC went, admiring the grand design
and the ponderous masonry of the building.
In the rooms where the troops were quar-
tered during the war we found tho desks Of
busy clerks, surrounded by piles Of official
papers and bundles Of rcd tape. In the base
ment was the post-ofiice, occupying nearly
the whole floor, and Its entrance filed at all
hours OF the day with an anxious-lace
crowd. On the second floor, the way to
which Is up the same old rickety plank stairs,
is the room occupied by Gen. Longstroet.
SHE was there when we went In, and
greeted us In very cordial manner, appear
Ing as much at home as any other man
should in u fat custom house Office. If u
man ever has reason to smile ii is when he
gets into the custom-house, for 1t Is ono Of
the neatest, prettiest, jolliest, --latest posi-
tons ever held by man.
General Hood is running a commission
store on the second floor of stone building
on side street. He was very soclable, aud
talked freely about the war, and said he re-
GREETED nothing he had done, and would do
the same fighting over again If he had u
chance. He said when he succeeded Gen.
johnston IN cOiniuhuu OF the WebteTn Son-
federate army he knew the game was up.
He was only fighting TO save his honor.
The revolution was crushed when Vieks-
burg fell, and he said SO at that time. lie
| said II was painful for him to talk about the
lost cause, and he did not like to recall the
| war.
general Beauregard Is president of the
New Orleans and jackson railroad, and has
| his office In fuo marble-front building in
the wealthlest part Of the city. He made
| little or no reference 10 the war, but con-
fined his conversation to the commercial

roads. From what he said and our own OK.
perience, we concluded that nearly all the
railroads In tho South were almost as bad
stock to invest In as Southern Confederacy
bonds. Nearly every one had borrowed money
at the North before the war, and when the
confederacy conascated all moneys due

The lHIsu CHURCH BILL.-Thc action Of
the House of Lords on the Irish Church bill
causes Intense excitement.
Bright and Gladstone are In receipt of
letters daily from persons Offering q recon-
mencement Of the Reform League agitation;
but they dlscountcnance the movement for
the present, and express their belief that the
Lords will reccde at the last moment from
their opposition TO the will of the people.
The following letter has been circulated
privately among known 'PrOgresslves!"
"sIRi In view of the probable failure of
the Irish Church bill, through the opposition

Tue FIRST New TEXAS CoTTos.-The

In the seed. It was grown on the Janrito

OF good uplands Mississippi or Alabama cot
ton. The fibre Is fine and strong. The man
could have brought more but he had not the
means. He came In on horseback. He sold

question of the capacity Of the soil not I'M
mediately in the valley Of the Rio Grand to
produce cotton. It fixes the fact that cotton
can be got into the market earlier from this
section than any other In the United States.

find Mr.. McAlen ready to ship bale of cot
