whole State, I am glad of this oppor-
tunity of again expressing my great
qualification to your superintendent
and his faithful corps of teachers, and
the honorable Board of Trustees, at
this renewed evidence of their earnest
and loving care fer the unfortunate
children of the State.
And now, in conclusion, my young
friends, to-day you are released for .
time from the pleasant restraints OF
the school room. May you go hence
with light hearts to find joyful greet
ings of loved ones, at your own dear
homes; but l must beg of you to re-
member that you must come back
again to this beautiful asylum of az
lection and of learning, which Texas
will always preserve for you with ten
derHess and care. May your Temporal
~ absence be full of rest and pleasure,
your future career in these halls be
marked by patient study, and your
after lives self-sustaining and hap
ply. When the race is run and
the sunset approaches, may you
mount upward as on wings to that
land beyond the shadow and the
cloud, where the dumb shall speak,
the deaf shall hear and the blind shall
at last see the face of the Father.

LONDON, June ESPECIAL dispatches
from Paris agree that Saturdays sit
ting of the Deputies was the most vio-
lent ever witnessed.
The Times correspondent says it eX
tended over five hours and half, and
during that long time there was one
prolonged roar of voclferations. At
one time when M. Gambetta said that
the power was in suspicious hands, the
Minister of Public Works sprang with
threatening air towards the tribune,
and members of the Right and Left
dashed forward. The ushers had to
separate the hostile armies. 1t really
seemed as if there would be hand-to-
hand fight. All instinctively waited
for reports of revolvers.
NEW YORK, June 1S.-A cable dis
patch reports terrible fight between
the Turks aud Montenegrins. The
cable says the advance of the Turks
from Podgeritza, Albania. had been
carefully watched by the Montenegrin
spies, and every precaution had been
taken in selecting point to receive
the invading party. The Turks
moved forward to Spiaz, reaching that
place Friday night and encamping.
On Saturday morning at daylight the
advance into Montenegro began. The
Turkish force numbered 10000 men,
under the command of Ali Saib. The
Montenegrius had taken up their sta
ton at Planard 5000 strong. About
ten o'clock the Turkish advance came
upon the Montenegrin pickcts, who
fell back to the main body. An hour
later the fourteen battalions of Ali
Saib came up, and, without hating,
attacked the Montenegrin position.
The fighting lasted eight hours. Four
determined attacks were made by the
Turks, but in the last instance they
were repulsed by the MoBtenegrins.
Bona Petrovich had thrown up two
lows of embankments, and behind these
ranparts the Montenegrins fought,
with a safe retreat to the wooded
hills behind them always open. The
third attack was made by eight battal
ions, and led by Ali Saib
in person, flushed with three
victories, The Montenegrins saw
their enemies come to attack with
little heart. Therefore they RETAINED
from firing until they were within
20 yards, and then poured deadly
voliey Into their enemy's front. A
small body of Montenegrin horsemen
dashed out from the other side and
fell upon their TANKS. At first the
TANKS wavered, but rapidly changing
to the front, killed many of the at
lacking party. The center came up
without hating until it received the
second volley, and then, through
some mistaken orders, or because of
disinclination to advance. the Turks
halted. The Montenegrins sprang
over the parapet of their entrench-
ments and attacked the column with
bayonets. The Turks broke, but were
partially rallied by Ali Sab, and fell
back about two miles, in tolerable good
shape, to sn open piece of country. In
the meanwhile the Montenegrins had
reformed and pursued the Turks, who
retreated some and became routed. The
Montenegrin horsemen pursued the
