ADDRESS 10 THE ALUMNE OF THE
COLUMBIA ATHENEUM.

DELIVERED BY MRS. J. Fl. RUSSELL, OF
COLUMBIA, 18TH JUNE, 1875.
Another year is past Heaven born
breezes gently lift the cup of the ny
flower, as it gratefully drinks in the
life-giving dew; hOaTy winter and
tardy spring have passed as morning

stolen away and left with us another
Commencement Day
While to-day we are here as those
who labor in the conscious discharge
of duty, and as those who filed with
bright hopes are ready to launch out
upon the treacherous wave of life-as
friends who wish well, and those who
watch with tenderest care the progress
of the young mind-will you lift the
curt ain a while, and look back with
me over the days that are numbered
with the past.
In the year 1852, under the direc-
tions of FRANKLIN c. SMITH, these
walls were erected. Who is able to
know the feelings of that noble man
who had the resolution to brave so
great an undertaking, as to build up
first-cass institution of learning?
There was risk to run, and he knew
il: vet, with tireless energy, and ire
pressible perseverance, he dared to
make the attempt.
His anxious fears, and heavy respon-
sibilities, were equally shared by his
faithful and loving wife, and they
together, established what is now
known far and wide, as the "COlum-
bia Athen8um"
Time passed. He succeeded, aye,
the expectations and fond
est anticipations of his many friends;
far from the sunny shores of the
southern Gulf, to the frozen lakes of

According to previous notice, the
closing exercises of the Columbia Male
High School were held in the Athe-
n@um Study Hall, last Friday.
AS well as we remember, the exer-
cises were as follows: A class in high
er English grammar by Prof. Beech
er, class in intermediate arithmetic
by DR.. Smith, and class in higher
geography by Prof. f. H. Smith.
The teachers, without the aid of text
book, examined their pupils on any
subject that had been studied during
the past session, inviting other teach
ers and the audience to ask questions.
The answers given by the boys we're
very good, showing that they had
been thoroughly and well instructed.
Not having space to dwell upon the
different performances, we shall con-
tent ourselves by simply mentioning
a few of them. y specimen of con-
certed elOcutiOn was happily render
ed, while the Rotations and OratiOns
by Masters Ed. Kirkman, Willie
'Hendley, George Read, Edgar James,
ID. Vaughn and Willie Fleming show
eel careful study and excellent train
ing. A comic debate of the question
whether dog or a gun is most use
full, was highly entertaining.
After the Rotations were finished,
DR.. W. \. Smith, on the part of the
Faculty, awarded certificates of pro-
ficiency to the students who had made
seventy-five per cent. on their final
written examinations. We take pleas

Spain and the Vatican.

1t seems that the note addressed by Car
dinal Simeoni, as Papal Nuncio, to the
Spanish government created a greater i'm
preston in Europe than was reported by the
cable and that consequently the act of the
Holy See in recalling the Cardinal from his
mission assumes graver Importance. Car
dinal Simeoni addressed a note to the Madrid
government virtually demanding that the
relations between the Holy See and King
Alfonso should be restored to their ancient
condition, when the Inquisition was an estab-
lished institution and when the power of the
Church was felt in every relation of life. He
claimed also that all matters of educa-
ton should be absolutely in the hands of the
Church, and that the Bishop should have q
power in these matters paramount to that of
the King. 1t was intimated also that if King
Alfonso did not consent to these demands
the Pope would recognize Don Carlos as the
legitimate head of Spain. The effect Of this
letter was seen in the fall Of Spanish secur-
tiles in Paris and general revival of the
Carlist movement. 1t was plainly seen that
King Alfonso could not accept these de-
Inands of the Vatican without imperilling his
crown. The anticipation that the Pope
meant policy of reaction excited apprehen-
sions throughout Europe
which we are pleased to see by the action of
the Holy See in recalling Cardinal Simeoni,
have not been justified.
1t is unjust to the Pope to attribute to him
the folly of ON overzealous Nuncio. The
tendency of the Catholic Church has not
been toward reaction. So far as we can read
the declarations of the Pope he has recog-
nized the wisdom of bringing the Church
into sympathy with the people. The Pope
upon princes it has been prosecuted and de-
ceived that it has fourished nowhere so
strongly as under free governments that it
is more powerful in America and England to-
day because of the liberty of religion granted
by the constitutions of those countries than
it is in Spain or Germany or Italy. The ele-
walton of an American prelate to the Cardi-
nalate, the marked courtesy paid by the
Pope to the government of Peru, the interest
he has shown in the South American repub-
lies, in Mexico and the new Republic in
France all indicate that he feels that his
Church will be stronger by the support of
the people than by the support of crowns.
If the Pope should oppose the legend of
''divine right and ruling ''by the grace OF
God and should proclaim the for higher
doctrine that "all men are created free and
equal" there would not be crown in
Europe in fifty years.

Canal RefOrm-G0vern0r TfIden's PoiAcys
With the object Of depriving the demo-
cratic State administration Of the party adj
ures Of canal reform inaugurated by
Governor Tilden, the republican journals,
by an ingenious arrangement of figures, are
endeavoring to show that the canals have
cost more and yielded less IN former years
under democratic than under republican
management. If the statement were true we
DO not see how it would help the republican
party or detract from the credit due to
Governor Tilden for his effective movement
IN favor of administrative reform. No one
doubts that the State has been plundered
through the canal rings by both political
parties any more than he questions
that the city of New York has
been robbed through the Tammany
rings by combination of republicans
and democrats. The leaders in the canal
conspiracies belong to both political organi-
cations. They have purchased State Legis-
latures and manipulated State officers with
out reference to the party happening to be in
the ascendancy, just as Tweed was accus-
toned to purchase Senates and Assemblies
with his stolen millions, without regard to
the political complexion of those bodies.
The- fact that both political organizations
have proved themselves to be venal and I'M
trustworthy only renders the action Of Gov
ernor Tilden against the whole gang of canal
plunderers the more commendable, and gives
him an additional claim ON the support of
the honest voters of the State.
Governor Tilden has proved himself to be
as to republican corruption. 1t was mainly
through his practical work that the old dem
ocratic ring was overthrown in New York,
and that Tweed became an occupant of
felon's cell. The success he achieved in the
city he is now endeavoring to accomplish in
the State, and the republican organs are
wasting time in attempting to deprive him
of the credit due to the effort The folly of
their partisan opposition to Governor Til
den's reform movement is well illustrated by
the fact that while to-day they abuse the
Governor for his war against the canal plum
derers tomorrow they exhaust their in
genuity to prove that those plunderers have
been mainly democrats. Meanwhile the
Governor has been steadily pressing forward
his policy of administrative REFORM and he
has not faltered or wavered for an instant
because he has found democratic politicians
in his way. The people are with him in his
crusade, and, whatever may be their views
of his Interior ambitions, they will certainly
strengthen his hands in his efforts to secure
q reform in the administration of our State
government

THE BROKEN SAVINGS BANK.-Bank Super
intendent Ellis has not yet explained why
he suffered the Third Avenue Savings Bank
to continue to impose upon the public and
to obtain deposits on false pretences after
his examination of the affairs of the bank
had satisfied him that the institution was
hopelessly bankrupt An explanation from
the Bank Superintendent is in order. Mean
while it may be well for the victimized de-
positors to ascertain how far the officers and
directors of the bank, who have been carrying
on the business under false and fraudulent
pretences, are personally responsible, in
criminal or civil proceedings, for the ruin
they have wrought. The officers and stock
holders who have squeezed out of the rotten
concern since 1872 may yet find that they
cannot evade responsibility for their official
acts. The meeting of the depositors may
develop some plan of action which will test
how far the officers and stockholders of q
rotten bank may venture to defraud the pub
lie without rendering themselves liable for
the offence.

The Coming Yacht Races.

It will be seen that the challenge of Mr.
Hatch, of the Resolute, has been accepted
by four other yachts, and that Mr.. Hatch
has intimated his willingness to sail as he
proposed. This promises fair contest in the
coming fresh weather. If the breezes will
only be good enough to blow we shall have
some lively seamanship off the Jersey coast.
The vexed question between keel and
centre-board yachts will now be practically
tested This problem is as difficult of set
Element and has been the cause Of as much
discussion as the formation of the new French
Republic. Commodore Garner, whose pen
nant flies from one of the finest centre
board yachts in the service, deserves.
credit for the manly way in which he
has set the ball in motion. We regret for
many reasons that the letters of our yachting
friends accepting the challenge of Mr.. Hatch,
and the further letter Of Mr.. Hatch, were not
sent to the Times at the time they were sent
to the HERALD. If we had known of this
omission we would ourselves have rectifed
it. These yachting events are due to the
course of the Times in criticising the short
comings of our various yachts. 1t was in re-
Spouse to the suggestion of its editor that
Mr.. Garner sent out his challenge, and it
would have been gracious on the part of our
friends to have recognized this, and to recog-
nize also the genuine, manly, Anglo-Saxon
love Of honest sport, racing seamanship,
cricket and outdoor games, which has
characterized the editorial management
of the Times as well as all of our
good that will come from the popularizing
of these amusements. The Duke Of Wei
lington, as he stood watching mob Of Eton
boys at their gambols, said, This is the
training that won Waterloo" The seamen
of England, as they tossed about the tum-
bling seas, learned how to win Trafalgar
The newspapers which accustom the popular
mind TO look upon these outdoor amuse-
ments on land and sea, not alone as recrea-
tions bat opportunities, do the community
an unspeakable service. Such q service we
are pleased to acknowledge in the Times.
The Americans are gradually adopting the
arausements peculiar TO European Life We
see this OF Saratoga in the boat races, which
recall the memorable struggles between Ok
ford and Cambridge Universities, and which
excited 50 much interest throughout the
country We SEQ them also in the Newport
steeplechasee few weeks ago, where o
thoroughly English amusement attained
sudden popularity. II would not surprise
us if we found the game Of polo, which has
become 80 popular in Paris and London,
springng up here. The ponies which
are used by the players of thu
polo come from Wales but W.
can also obtain ponies from Canada quite
useful for that purpose. The game is an in.
nocent one, not at oil dangerous and
in every way advantageous to those
who seek outdoor exercise and native amuse

becoming popular in America, for they ar,

THE WAR OF THE DoxrEs. war Of the
Doxies seems likely to overshadow the East
ern question in the Connecticut Valley. The
labors Of Mr.. Moody in the quiet town of
Mortified, Mass, continue to excite the pop
uIation and to attract tho attention of the
Unitarian magnates. The views of the Rev.
MIR. Sunderland on the effect and value of
the evangelical revival, which we publish in
the HERALD to-day, will be found Of much
interest. The champion of the Unitarian
faith apparently is disposed to damn the
Evangelist with faint praise. Mr.. Moody
cannot shake the Unitarian Church, he be-
heves. Indeed, according to the Rev. mr.
Sunderland, the Church has received addi-
tons since the revival work commenced
Mr. Moody may do some good by making the
thoughtless thoughtful and the irreligious
RELIGIOUS. At the same time Mr.. Sunderland
does not place much faith in the permanency
Of the good accomplished by the Moodys and
Sankey's, and fears that the reaction" more
than counterbalances the temporary benefits
