THE RICHMOND LITERARY ASSOCIATION
We have noticed with interest and pleasure
the steady growth of the above organiza-
tion, with whose existence perhaps few OF
our readers are acquainted.
About three years ago several OF our
young businessmen, anxious to improve
themselves in the art Of debate, met for the
purpose OF organizing society. They were
soon joined by others, and in short time
numbered some twenty-five or thirty.
Last year they obtained the room imme-
diatcly opposite the hall Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, and upon the same
floor. The room, though small, is conve-
niently located, and as most OF the men,
bers are connected with the Young Mems
Christian Association they can easily avail
themselves of the advantages Of an extern
sive library.
Some Of the members indicate the most
marked improvement, especially III extern
poraneous debate, and have acquired the
happy faculty Of expressing themselves
readily, .fiuently, and with graceful ease,
upon the questions which are chosen for
discussion. The constant interchange of
ideas, the habit of close attention, and the
earnest desire to refute the fallacious rea-
sonings OF an opponent, have contributed
greatly to the mental improvement OF the
members. The rules adopted for the gov
ernment of the society are those laid down
in Cushing's Manual. Points Of order and
constitutionality are constantly raised and
discussed. and familiarity with parliament
ary rulings and practice is one Of the most
interesting features Of the society.
All the Young men connected with the
association are engaged in active business,
representing nearly all the trades and pro-
fessions.
At the final celebration of the Society on
next Monday, the 26th of this month, two
medals are to be bestowcd-one to the most
improved debater, the other to the best de-
batter. The latter is perhaps one of the most
beautiful and costly medals given by any
society in the State.
Mr.. J. Randolph Tucker, Jr., has this
year attained the highest prize, and Mr.
Briggs the medal as the most improved de-
batter. These medals are to be presented
to the recipients by the Hon. A. NJ. Kelley.
The bylaws limit the membership to
thirty, so that each member has an orpor-
tunty to speak on regular debate about
once In each six weeks. The questions are,
however, opened to voluntary discussion
after the close of each regular debate.
Perhaps there is no similar organization
OF young men in this city so well calculated
to strengthen, discipline, and develop the
mind as that which these young men have
founded for their own improvement.

This brought Governor Kemper to his
feet although, rs ne said, he only came as a
spectator, and not to make speech. He
could not help, however, giving expression
to his pleasure and delight at what he had
seen and heard. He was greatly pleased
to be able to congratulate the, children
upon the excellence OF the exercises. The
successes they had achieved were two-fold-
the higher, inward, enduring success
which they had attained under the long aud
careful training Of their faithful teachers !;
and the pleasant and beautiful success Sc
cured in the knowledge that they had given
pleasure not only to the spectators present,
but to those Of their household. In refer
ing to his own early days Che would not say
how long ago, howeyer,) and education, he
said he never saw anything to compare with
being educated in such an institution as
this. He then urged upon the pupils
the great Responsibilities and duties which
would devolve, upon them in after-life.
They must take all the advantages now
afforded them; for just as they availed
themselves OF the present opportunities, SO
to that extent their lives would be happy
in the future. He joined with the Bishop
Ill WEutISs tIIcll itti 1iit IdppluCoo UuCy uo-
sired, and hoped that the laurels won would
remain perpetually green.
Mayor Kelley next, spoke to the young
folks in humorous and pleasant strain,
which was greatly enjoyed, by them as well
as by the older ones.
3. SPECIMENS OF HANDlwORK.
After the children had left the hall the
guests were invited to an adjoining room,
where specimens Of tapestry, needle-work,
wax-work, drawing, and painting were on
exhibition. These specimens gave evidence
OF the practical part of the education inn
parted in the institution, and were highly
complimented. The principal and most de-
serving Of mention OF all the articles on
exhibition was the large amount OF work
done by the pupils during the year for the
poor This is one Of the most praiseworthy
features connected with the Academy.
After spending some time in this room
the guests took their departure, expressing
much delight at the afternoons entertain,
ment.

CHARGED WITH SHOOTING A THOROUGH
BRED HORsE.-About the 10th Of May
Charles II. Gordon, Of Fauquier county,
had fine thoroughbred stallion shot in his
stable at night. Mr.. Gordon wrote to Gov
ernor Kemper asking that detective be
sent to work up the case. The matter was
placed in the hands of Detective Knox, who,
after careful investigation, arrested Lewis
Robinson, colored man. There is quite a
strong case against accused. Robinson is
supposed to have been inspired by revenge,
because Mr.. Gordon, who is justice OF the
peace, had him whipped for stealing.

The CHILDREN ON THE SQUARs.-A DeS-

as to the children being allowed the priVl-
lege of the grass on the Square on Wednes-
day evenings.
Colonel Boykin said: "Why, sir, don't
see that any great harm has been done;
certainly not sufficient I'd cause me to sus-
pend the order to let them play On the grass
every Wednesday. saw sights yesterday
that would gladden. the eye of any batchelor
in town. ] saw a nurse in one group teaching
the children to play Lift up the gates as
high as the sky and the baby sat off in q
corner by himself chewing away on a piece
of lily-whitc that the nurse had inadvert-
emily dropped out of her pocket. In an
other place l saw lot of little girls and
bows turning somersaults on the grass, and
/ couldn't help being reminded Of an old
song about the girls and boys that went
hunting chinquapins, and the infinite
amusement afforded on that OCCASION. Oh,
no, sir, l will not rescind the order. The
children may play every Wednesday until
further orders.D Hurrah for Colonel Boy
kin, and God bless the children!

PARDoNED.-Thc Governor on yesterday
pardoncd the folowing-named parties !:
James Gibson, Charles ToSh, John Lyle,
James Allen, Rufus Percivai, and David
Austin, six colored youths, the eldest
under seventeen years, who were sem
fenced at the April term, 1875, of the
County Court OF Wytbe to five years
each in the penitentiary for house
breaking. In extending this clemency the
Governor says that the parties "broke into
the dining-room of a hotel, and took no.
thing but food; which they at once con-
s,imed. The facts relieve their crime OF the
worst characteristics OF burglary. The
Judge who tried them, officers of the court,
and leading citizens, petition for mitigation
of their punishment. They are pardoned
on condition that they be imprisoned for
three months in the jail of Wythe county,
and receive each nine and thirty stripes, to
be inflicted according to law. But this con-
ditonal pardon is to take effect only upon
such OF the said prisoners rs accept the
same in Writinm.o
