delightful occasion; one that will not soon
fade from the memories of those who par

very large and enthusiastic, the eX rriseS

THE INsTITUTE.-The exercises az tie
Institute during the closing days Of last
week, and on MondaJ and Tuesday Of the
present week were exceedingly Interesting.
Ts many persons the examination Of the
Juvenile classes is one OF the most attrac-
tive features connected with the institu-
ton. Under the guidance of Mrs. s, A,
Hays the elementary department is ad-
mIrably conducted, and here is where the
hardest work Of the teacher is to be per-
formed. Mrs. H. has done her work thor.
oughly and we feel certain that it will bring
a rich return in after years. The Rkamina-
ton Of the pupils Ia the higher depart
ments was equally satisfactory, and too
rhuch praise cannot be awarded to DIR.
Jones and his corps OF assistants--at whose
head stands A. b, Jones, on, of the most
thorough organizers aud instructors IN the
South.
Those wis are competent 10 speak Of
such matters assure us that in rhetoric,
bellies letters, the languages-aucient and
modern, and in mathematics the classes
were all we'll grounded, and eyinceA esrc-
full training. A casual si.tof could not
have entered the hah on Monday or Tues
day without bsiag impressed with the
efficiency OF those who presided over the
music, the painting. and the ornamental
branches, to which so much attention IS
properly paid at the Institute. The entire
weeks exercises gracefully lead up to the
elimination scene on Wednesday, de,

THE NEw BAPTIST ChURCH.-At the
intersection of Lafayette and Cumberland
Streets, the point and lines OF division of
the four Warts OF the city, is a vacant lot
Of gronnd On the Southeast corner. On
that lot are stacks Of new brick, eNcaSa.
lions, and sheds for w0rkmen. This is the
site for the new Baptist Church about 10
be put In process OF erection. The location
Is an admirable one, II centrality and means

are taken into consideration. The build.

style, the tower being eighty feet in height.
The Hrst nosr is TO be a basement for Sun
day school and other special uses, which.
when finished, will be used by the cor
gregatiOn until the main buiidIny IS cow
Pleted. We have not Et hand the plan
which we have read, but are Cont lent that
the new editice Will be convenient, orna.
ment4l, and every way credtabie TO the
architect and the religious society engaged
in its erection. We have but Two sugzses-
tionS to make in this connection. 0le is,
that the shade trees on Lafayette Street be
lett undtsturbed; and the second is, II no,
too late, that such plan or modification of
the original plan may, IL necessary, be
adopted to secure the luxury OF the pre-
Vailing SoHtk wind in Summer. This
might involve the necessity Of 4 change OF
front, but an endurablc tmosphere in he {
weather is paramount to mere appearances,
and besides it would only involve the
question whether the building should front
on Cumberland or Lafayette. II will be
observed that nearly all our churches are
erected from East TO West as IL 20 attain
this end. We offer these suggestions mod
estly, and with no desire to be pragmatical
in the affairs OF others. The shape OF the
ground may render the adoption of our
latter suggestion ImprzchcaDle, but of this
those intrusted with the work are the best
judges. The new church edifice will be a
desirable change from the building now
used, and will add much to the architectu.
raj elegance Of our city.
