PARADE OF THE GRADUATES.
WEST PoINT, June 14.-ROutine of the dull
est sort has again settled over this nursery OF the army
and the few rppes stirred by passing the annual cer
subsidized into the every day events OF acad
emc life The First Glass enjoys for the time almost unre-
strained liberty and makethe most Of their long COW
eted privileges The adjutants Office has been busy
night and day settling the accounts OF the four
years debti and credit and making ready to
pay over the nest-egg" which each cadet
is supposed TO from his meager allowance. Itis
found however from $500 year only the severest econ
omy extract the "nestegg" The cadet Is expected
to we and even expensivey out OF TINS sum- as
well as paying all his living expenses. Every cadet in
Summer for the pretty white and green uniform, pay
very highly besides the laundry bill must be heavy as
at least 90 pairs Of trowsers TO man are
soiKd each week None possess less tnan
twenty-five thirty pairs. This apparent extravagace
is demanded Of them they not permitted To appear
parade grounds in any OF their many dhereht
duties soied uniforms. Messing together the hVng
expenses are very moderate and at the same time very
good Through the term many OF the cadets have spe-
cia permission 10 dine at the hotel and many too, are
invited to the professors tables
To-day good company was edited by telegraph

The farewell parade made this afternoon, and is
the most impressive of the year The First Glass; done
with duty and disarmed accompany the companies ana
when the last salute is given march 10 the front, never
again enter the academic ranks. The scene
is sensational and sentimental. On every
tears and the significant farewells publicly per
formed. The corps marched better, never pre-
sented more brilliant line and it will be some months
before the new cadets reach the perfect training
needed such parades have been seen here for
week past. According to the general order read the
