Suppression by his original and suggestive

the credit Of inaugurating among the col
leges OF the country close and analytical
study OF the English tongue. At II O'Clock
= HON. J.. RANDOLPH TUCKER
delivered the annual address before the lite
rary societies. 1t is unnecessary to add that
he handled his theme Ambition OF a
Patriot Statesman, Religious Virtue; His
Work, Religious Duty"-in that match
less manner which distinguishes all his
efforts. His success was never greater than
on this occasion. For nearly two hours the
crowd within and without the doors listened
without WEAKNESS. 4

lOwsllip in the Johns Hopkins University, at
Baltimore.
The day was pleasant, the audience large,
and every exercise enlisted deepest interest.
The resignation OF DR.. Duncan surprises
many. His administration as president OF
the College has been greater, II possible,
than his success in the pulpit. Failing
health forces him reluctantly to surrender
the position which he has filled with signal
ability for eight years. He will reenter the
ministry in the Virginia Conference in De-
cember. His successor will not be elected
until July.

WASHINGTON LITERARY SOCIETY,

ed: Mr.. r.. Men. Simpson, Of Woodville,
n. C.-subieet: 'The Great can Never be
Entombed "-and Mr. Howard Edwards, Of
Fmmville, Va.-subiect: "Nothing Con-
tinual but Change; Nothing Eternal but
DEATH" ....-
The "Best orators medal" OF the So
cietv was awarded to Mr.. Simpson, and the
