Long Drawn Rejoicing.

That season has arrived when the
thin man may rejoice in his tenuity.
His fragile exility no longer suffers
by contrast with the broad, fat man,
who waddles and broils and broils
and waddles through the tortuous
summer, a burden to himself and an
object of pity to all his less expan-
sive fellow beings. The person of
physical insignificance, as the cool
ing zephyrs play through his skele-
ton, thanks his stars he is as he is,
and his serenity and contentment as
he proceeds to his daily haunts are
pleasing to behold. He pays nothing
for thermometers, and his laundry
bills do not Cypress him, and his
Ratchet face looks clean and cool.

June Commencement.

In the absence of other amuse-
ments June brings to us the annual
recurring college commandments.
While they all attract fashionable
audiences, in which deep inter-
est and thorough appreciation are
always dominant qualities it is never
forgotten that aside from the plea
sure the entertainments give, they
also have a more than ephemeral i'm
p~ortance in other respects, fraught
as they are with lasting impressions
upon all who take part.
In our hurried and crowded report
of the Lonoak Commencement Exer-
cises several errors and omissions oc-
Cured, which were partially correct
ed in the Weekly edition. We have
only to add that the entertainment
was eminently successful in every
particular. The efforts of the young
ladies and gentlemen were all excel
lent, every II deserving of ''honor-
able MENTION and each seemed to
be particularly well suited and hap
PLY adapted to the part of the pro-
| ceedings allotted to them. Flowers
abounded, and many of the young
ladies were made happy with boquets.
The whole affair passed off very
pleasantly, the pupils rejecting great
credit not only upon themselves but
also upon the institution.

Assistant of Prof. Hyde. Miss EN-
ma Kohlhousen is at the head of the
Instrumental music department land
Prof. A. Marstella has charge of the
vocal department.

hastens the fl W, and SO does mental ex-
element. The Office of the heart is to
send the blood into thelungs to be puri-
fed; and then as soon as it gets back
there, it must be sent to the different
parts of the body, to feed, nourish and
strengthen. 1t does this by beats or
thumps. So the faster "a man exercises,
or the harder he thinks, the faster the
heart must pump out the blood to keep
itself clear. 1t has to work so hard and
so fast sometimes, under bodily excite
mept, that we can easily hear it thump.
and sometimes in its efforts to avoid
suffocation, as it were, or choking, it
breaks-rather bursts-and death is in

slant. He ice, competitive exercises are
not only hurtful, but dangerous. 1t is
steady, continuous labor which gives
health and long life.

A Good Idea.

DR.. McSherry at the last meeting
of Council, offered a motion that all
our citizens be required to clean up
and lime their premises. The Doc
tor is q member of the Nuisance
Committee, is constantly passing
over every portion of the town, and
knowing as he does the Importance
of cleanliness to promote the sanitary
condition of a town ,hasno doubt seen
many places that would be much
benefited by the free use of lime and
other disinfectants. The Doc
tor will make a first-class council
man, and will do his whole duty with
out fear, favor or affection.

The mechanics of the different

Communicated
The Public Schools.

The examinations in the public
schools closed on Friday last. The
object of these examinations was to
exhibit the real progress of the pu-
pills rather than to make a show by
exercises especially committed for
the occasion. The character of the
instruction given in our public
schools would be obvious even to the
causal visitor, but the thorough test
of the written examinations just
closed in the grammar school exhibit
the best evidence that constant and
vigorous mental effort has been re-
quired Of the pupils, and that the
teachers have labored with zeal and
success.
The following questions in arith-
metic were submitted by one of the
intelligent business men of our place.
1st. / owe $1,000 I; | desire to pay
this in State money +; which is at a
depreciation of 20 cents on the dol

Don't Forget.

While you + saving your crops,
enjoying your gardens and the flow
ens, please do not forget to prepare
something for exhibition at the com
ing fair in September. This is the
Centennial year of the country. Let
every person put something on exhi-
ton and let every man, woman and
child old enough and well enough to
be out in the country, be able to say
that they attended and engaged in
the Agricultural Fair of Berkeley
county in the centennial year of the
American Republic.

Where Shall it Land ~ was read
by Miss McCune. 1t was very at
tractive, evincing both deep thought
and culture.
Miss Vroom, who is really a must
cal prodigy, with her usual p~erfec-
tiOn, next rendered Sydney Smiths
I'm Route and was followed by
Schubert's .Mardi Grass Quadrilles,'
excellently performed by Misses
Shearer and Nadenbousch.
Then followed a distribution Of
medals, certificates, &c. after which
the school united in singing the
splendid chorus by Root, Gathering
Home" and as the sweet sounds
fioated away on the air of the lovely
June evening, the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Lea and
the exercises closed.
Too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon the teachers and pupils
of this institution land the friends of
education should aid it in it's onward
march. The friends and admirers of
the pupils were profuse with floral
gifts. The exercises were of such a
character as to indicate that the ac-
complishments of the scholars we're
not of a superficial character, and no
better evidence of the excellence of
the Seminary and the superiority of
the teachers than last nights per-
formances could be adduced. 1t
was a glorious triumph for teachers
and pupils.

The Peach Prospect.

As the season advances, says the
Wilmington, DELI Commercial, the
prospect for a very good crop of
peaches increases, and it is generally
admitted that the growers in Dele
wareand Maryland, will have little
reason to complain of the yield.
Farmers from nearly every section
of the country report the trees in good
condition, and say that although the
number of peaches to the tree is
limited, the fruit willin consequence
be much finer.

the report of former auditing com
mittee was accepted as correct.
The committee to purchase horse,
cart and harness reported that they
had purchased a horse at $40, a cart
at $40 and harness at $50, which re-

True Elegance,

How easy to be neat, to be clean. How
easy to arrange the rooms with the most
graceful propriety. How easy to in
vest our houses with the truest elegance
Elegance resides not with the upholster-
er or the draper; it is not in mosaics, the
carpeting, the rosewood, the mahogany,
the candelebra, or in the marble orna-
ments; it exists in the spirit presiding
over the chambers of the dwelling.
Contentment must always be most grace
full; it sheds serenely over the scene of
its abode. it transforms a waste into a
garden. The home lighted by these in
timations of a noble and brighter sphere
may be wanting in much of the discon-
tented desire; but to its Inhabitants it
will be a palace far outlying the Oriental
in brilliancy and glory,

The above questions were solved in
the presence of several of our citi-
zens by a class Of young ladies in the
first division of the grammar school.
But three of the class fell below 100
per cent.
The following questions in English
Grammar were submitted to the
same class.
l. What pronoun is the English
Grammar destitute of, and to which
of the pronouns is gender applied /?

The class answering correctly from
50 to 100 per cent.
The examinations. in the second
and third divisions were more rigid
than any before given and were
passed with credit to both teachers
and pupils.
Justice to the schools of our Dis
trict would require a more full and
detailed account of the work they
accomplished, but suffice it to say
that we believe them to be good
enough for the best, cheap enough
for the poorest, and free to all.
