DR.. Murdock's sermon last evening, the lead
ing parts of which have been forwarded is the
chief topic of conversation to-day. Every one
was delighted with it. In times like these,
when the baseless assumptions of infdel minds
are received as proofs that religion is failure,
it is refreshing to hear little about the grand
achievements IF Christianity. The world is
too prone to forget that the Christian religion
is already magnificent success.
To-day the visitors in town have had an OPP
portunity of wandering at will over the college
grounds, visiting the gymnasium, the new cab
met of natural history, and the renovated col :
lege halls. The retiring president, DR.. Champ
lin, leaves enduring monuments of his labors
in the two noble stone edifices erected under his
supervision. DR.. Robins, the president elect
is expected to arrive Wednesday. The exercises
of the graduating class occur on Thursday 1t
is a matter of regret that combination of I'M
toward circumstances will prevent the Zebra
ton of Glass Day as contemplated. 1t is prop
er to say that this does not arise from any dis
agreement among the members of the class, as
has been the case sometimes with former
classes.
The Alumni will hold their annual meeting
at their hall ON "Wednesday, when Prof Hamlin
will lay before them in pamphlet FORM the bio
graphical sketches prepared by him of the
graduates who have died during the past three
years.
This evening the jnnior class held their Prize
Defamation at the Baptist church. Although
few in numbers, they succeeded in leaving the
impression upon the large audience assembled,
that strength is not always best indicated by
numbers. The following original themes were
presented in style rejecting great credit upon
the elocutionrry training of the class:
The Permanent in Literature,
William H. Kelly, waterville.
The Reformation of the 18th Century,
Charles E. Young Cornna
The Position of the Scholar,
Charles E. Williams, Wateryille
Political Corruption in the Present Age,
Albert B. Allen, Skowhegan.
What America owes to her Defenders,
Horace w. Stewart, Ban gor.
The Value of Liberal Culture,
A. b. Gates, E. Vassalboro.
Eloquence, Theodore Z. White. Waterville.
The award of prizes will be announced on
Thursday. Tomorrow evening Rev. G.. F.
Pentecost of Boston will deliver the grafton be-
fore the literary societies.

AN anonymous correspondent of the Aroos
took Times finds fault with Speaker Blaine
because he did not appoint conference COM
mlttee on the salary clause of the appropriate
ton bill opposed to an increase. 1t may be
that the writer is ignorant of the well estab-
ished usage of parliamentary bodies which is
that conference committee shall represent
the vote of the body choosing it. The House
had voted to increase the salary of Congress
men to $1,000; consequently the Speaker
could do no otherwise than select a commit
tee having majority or all of its members
in favor of the measure, which he did. To do
otherwise would be to violate usage as old
as Congress. Perhaps the Times writer was
ignorant of this fact, but gentlemen so igno-
rent of first principles should not undertake
to enlighten the public. assn
