Miss BEAUMoNT.-The part of AddigiSa,
instead of being taken by Mime. Brignoli,
was assumed by Miss Beaumont, late Of the
Lydia Thompson troupe. and later of the
Kellogg troupe, who made on this occasion
her first appearance on the Italian stage. II
is gratifying to be able to record for this
clever, industrious, ambitious, and capable
lady distinct success. She appeared per-
fectIy at her ease, and sang her duet with

whose contributions to some Of the magazines
have recently attracted great deal of notice,
has been appointed to write the text Of u
cautata for the opening of the Centennial
festival, aud Mr.. Dudley Buck is to compose

ones, and the new era of reconciliation will
be fifty symbolized by this union of North
and South in the song Of celebration.-Ne1

TIE CENTENNIAL YEAR AND ROANOKE Col :
LEGE.-Retrospecting the catalogue history
Of the institution from the first session
1884, we find that then the college had
thirtv-eight students from three States ; now
the number approXmates 200 from fifteen
States. Then from States other than Viz.
ginia there were but FIVE students, of whom
four were from North Carolina; now, from
other States there are nearly one hundred
students, of whom twenty-four are from
Texas. Then the college had but few stu.
dents in the regular classes; now her classes
are large, her graduates in fourteen States,
aud her students scattered throughout the
Union. Then Roanoke was a fledgelng, an
apparent intruder among the old Vir-
ginia colleges; now she takes rank with the
proudest OF them. and confidently aDLici.
pates a more brilliant future. Then some
Of the people of Roanoke county did not
know there was college in Salem; now the
institution has national reputation. Then
there was but little interest even of a local
character in the public exercises of the col.
lege; now the new Town Hall is so much
crowded at commencements that the trustees
recognize the necessity Of erecting much
larger hall for these public occasions. Then
only part of the main college edifce was
built; now the whole is finished, two other
tbree-story buildings added, and successful
efforts making to erect another large build
ing for the library and museum, which, then
hardly begun, are now among the largest in
the South. Then the literary societies had
no halls; now the Demosthcneans and Cice-
ROMANS meet weekly in spacious halls which
present the appearance of elegant parlors.
Then the grounds were almost bare; now
the campus is considered the prettiest in the
State. Notwithstanding go many unfayora-
BILE circumstances, Roanoke has an increased
attendance during this session, which is one
of decrease to most Of our southern ins!itu-
tions.-Roanoke Collegian.
