GRADUATION DREssES.-An inquiry has
been ins tituted in the school committee of
Boston as TO what means can be taken 10 Sc
cure sim implicitly Of dress among pupils on
graduation day or other public occasions.
Miss May, Miss Peabody and Mr.. Hutchins
were appointed to report, the former having
introduced the inquiry. The Boston papers
regard this step as an Indication OF the prac-
teal uses Of the custom In vogue there of
electing women to the public school COM
TO which graduating dresses are carried
causes great deal Of time and money 10 be
devoted TO personal adornment and show.
We sometimes forget, in delight at the re-
suit, how much vanity has been stimulated
IN some pupils, and how much heartburn
the girls of public schools TO out shine each
other In elaborate dress should be avoided.

COL. BAILEY AT PARIS.

Pursuant to an invitation from citi-
zens of Henry county, Col. Bailey
spoke at Paris on Monday, 10Th ult.,
on State finances. A delegation of citi-
zens of Paris met Col. B. at the depot
and escorted him to the Courthouse,
where he was confronted by Col. Isaac
Hawkins, of Carroll county, an advo-
cate for the reputation of all public
debts.
Col. III. opened the debate in speech
of an hour and a half, which was most
ly devoted to National finances, and
gave no reason for the reputation
of the State debt, except that the as
sessments were excessive. A very small
part of his speech was devoted to State
credit.
Col. B. replied that he was not to be
led off into discussion of the National
debt-that he had nothing to do with
its creation and that few men in Ten
nessee could not repudiate it, if they
would; but that his purpose was to dis
cuss State finances and our local af-
fairs, which the people here could con-
troll, and in which they were more d.
rectly interested. Col. B. demonstrated
that the current expenses of the State,
and the interest on the State debt could
be paid and a sinking fund created for
its ultimate extinction, without mate
rally increasing tie rate of taxation.
He stated that government was justi-
fed in rejecting and repudiating a pub
lie debt when it became so burdensome
as to require all the earnings of the
people to pay the interest on it, but in
no other case were they so justified, as
the State had said by its laws that none
of its creditors could sue it, and hence
the creditor had nothing to rely upon
but the integrity and honor of the peo-
pie in whom all power was lodged.
He appealed to them to pause and re-
feet before they take a step so we'll
calculated to bring discredit and de-
preston upon a whole people. We
were informed by prominent men in
Henry county that the people of that
county will vote for sustaining the
credit of the State.

TUESDAY. MAY 30.

Tuesday night was devoted to the
Junior orators of Stewart and Wash
ington Irving Societies. The services
we're opened with prayer by the Rev.
E. McNair of Arkansas. The young
orators were then introduced success
sively by President Shearer, as follows:
Mr.. G. G. MARTIN (Stewart Society
The PrOUince of Literature"
Mr.. Martin commenced by tracing
the origin of Literature in the instinc-
tive yearning which all nations above
the savage state have evinced, to
transmit some record of themselves to
their posterity, and briefly but salts
factorily recorded the successive steps
by which this instinct carried out its
purpose. Monumental sculpture, HE
roglyphics, phonetical phabets and
writings, the multiplication of these by
the use successfully of parchments
and papyrus and finally paper, and
then the great browning invention of
the art of printing. He then descanted
eloquently on the vast influence of
that literature which was rendered
possible by these inventions, MOTTO
ing that this was an influence for good
or for evil, according as the writers
aud the generations they wrote for,
were morally elevated or depraved.-
But the point he most dwelt upon was
the conservative power of literature,
by which it enables each generation to
impress itself upon that which follows
it to communicate to it its thoughts
and feelings, its knowledge and its in
ventions, so that all which is intellect
ually acquired becomes accumulative
and nothing is lost. He showed on
the other hand how, in the case of
savage nations destitute of art and lit
erature, each generation is blank to
those which precede and follow it, and
all that it achieves is lost at the death
of those who constituted it. Hence,
for one thing, our dense ignorance of
the prehistoric nations. The address
was philosophically conceived, ele-
gantly expressed and delivered with
grace and spirit. We confidently an
ticipate a valuable addition to the
ranks of our political speakers when
Mr.. NJ. has completed his academic
course, and rejoice the more in doing
so, because in former speech he has
already declared himself manfully on
the side of those who uphold the credit
and honor of the State.
Mr.. w. Y. DAVIS Washington r.
wing Society. Reading"
Mr.. Davis was sinRularly unfortu
nate in selecting subject almost iden
teal with that which had been treated
by the previous speaker, the more so
as the succession of thoughts was al
most identical with that adopted by
Mr., Martin. OF course this is una

the purport of the lecture, we might
say that taking the human being as
made mp Of a material and spiritual ma
ture, the latter being further distin-
guished as moral and Intellectual, he
proceeded to detail the culture and
discipline which each man must apply
for himself to body, intellect and con-
science in order to purify and strength
en- it for the fiery ordeal of the worlds
great battle.
Among the great obstacles to be
overcome he mentioned as the last
and greatest that of infdelity, and
enumerated in some detail the modern
writings which he deemed tainted with
this tendency. In this praiseworthy
effort he was by inadvertence led to
attribute to one physicist scientific
heresy of which he is not guilty. Prof.
Huxley, whom We personally know to
be a religious man in spite of the char
acter for inidelity attributed to him,
was accused of maintaining that the
passage of matter from the inorganic
to the organic condition could and did
take place in the laboratory of the
scientist. Prof. Huxley is the known
champion of precisely the opposite
doctrine, and the ink is scarcely dry
| on the naner on which he has given a
complete REPUTATION to the efforts of
DIR. Bastian to establish his favorite
theory of spontaneous generation
This too he has done in accordance
with the expressed opinions of Tyndal
and Herbert Spencer. Ii Judge Clapp
had derived his opinion of these wri-
ters from their own works rather than
from those of their enemies, he would,
we think, have derived from them ad-
ditional evidence that there is no
necessary collision between science
and religion. This, however, is but a
small oversight in a composition
Astounding in great truths expressed
in the most felicitous language, and
we arc much gratified to learn that an
effort is likely to be made to procure
the publication of the address this at
once relieves us of the futile task OF
attempting to give in brief epitome
any conception of its great merits.

A ticket composed of Tilden and

could make the necessary concessions.
1t is clear that New York, with her
