RICHMOND GRANITE SUccEssFU 1.-The
bids for furnishing the granite for building
fine new State Department ut Washington
we're opened on Thursday last. by the
schedule made the bid OF Col. Albert Ordway
for furnishing Richmond granite is the low
est and the contract will probably be award
ed to him. This building is expected to be
the finest Of all the public buildings in
Washington, and will cost about ten mil
lions of dollars. The selection OF the Rich
mond granite will prove of inestImabie ad-
vantage to our city. and develop this in
terest into one of our leading resources.
We trust that Col. Ordway may reap the
rich reward he deserves for his efforts in
this direction.

dence, and the splendid chemical labora-
tory (the best arranged on the continent),

coenize the locality where, in the olden
time, the "dissecting hall". and other un.
seemly buildings were such an eye.sore. -.

trait 1--WE regard >Miley's photographs the
best likeness) of the old hero which has
been produced. The posture, the uniform,
the expression of the couutenance, in fact,
all the details of the picture, are admirably
conceived and 'splendidly executed, and
wonld strike one of Lees old veterans as
being "the very image of old Marse Rob
ert."
The portrait is placed in the library just
by Galt's splendid statue Of Jefferson. The
conjuncture must strike every one as ex'
ceedingly appropriate. The author of the
Declaration of Independence and the grand

the University of Virginia, and the great.

Prof Leonidas Points announced the
names Of distinguished: students and the
names of the graduates in schools and of

conferred these honors on each young lady
as she came forward. The class OF fun
graduates was then called, which numbered
only four--Biiss Bette Hopkins of Loudoun

Miss Julia Rozell. Of Maryland, and Miss
Maggie Thompson, of Mississippi. On each
the highest honor eonferrefby the institute.
| Dr.sJ. c. Granbery, Of Richmond, was
then introduced, who delivered the Bacca-
laureate address, and without an effort at
tiattery we but echo the universal senti-
ments OF his large auditory when we say
the address was simply magnificent. It's
style was classic. elegant, and beautiful.
The subject, "Esther," was well chosen
and most gracefully and skifully did he set
her forth in all the regal glory of her noble
character as an example for the fair daush-
ters whom he addressed. DR.. Cranberry g
address has made most profound impres-
sion, and won for him golden opinions
even from those who have heard him be-
fore.
During the exercises DR.. S. s. Roszell, of
Washington city, in his own happy style
conferred golden medals on number OF
young ladies, the names Of which appeared
in previous communication. The valedic.
tory essay was read by Miss Hopkins, OF
Loudoun county, Va. 1t was superior
composition. Her address to the audience,
to the trustees, to the Faculty, and pres
ident and classmates, was appropriate,
plaintivc. touching, and pathetic. Chorus
by Madame Ruhl and her fine vocal class of
about fifty voices was sung with tender
and deep expression, and closed the
exercises of this entertaining commence
ment. In this assemslagc Of pupils on
these various evenings were represented
various States in the South and Southwest,
from Maryland to Texas. From these
States one hundred young ladies attended
this institution this session, and their
healthy appearance and graceful accom-.
plishments indicate the fact that they had
not come so far in vain to secure these SUI
pr For educational advantages. Altogether
this institution, for its splendid buildings
and grounds, its able faculty, its many ad.
vantages, can challenge comparison with
any of its kind in the entire South. u.
