ArHENEum CoMmENCEmENr.

The commencement exercises of the Co.
lumbia Athenaum began on Wednesday.
The exercises at night opened with grand
march by the pupils. The music was sue
ceeded by dancing and quadrilles, ma
zurkas, ETC., were INDUCED in right
heartily, and in manner creditable alike
to their instructors and pupils. The
nights proceedings closed with the ''Spec-
tacle Francais," being the crowning Of the
Queen, who gracefully enough wore the
bIushing honors. The old Atheneum Hall
was decorated with fine paintings, draw
ings and evergreens, and fine works of art.
It was crowded on the occasion and the
proceedings throughout were highly enter
tanning and instructive. Among those in
attendance were several sparkling beauties
from other parts, one Of the brightest
bellies of Memphis being of the number.
The classic halls of the old Athen@um
shone with youth and beauty and gave
echo to the inspiration of the well-stored
minds cultivated at her fountains of learn
ing. It is an educational institution of
which the people of Maury, and the entire
State, indeed, may feel justly proud, and it
is gratifying 10 note the fact that the
present commencement finds her in so
fiourishing condition.
