THE MoZaRT.-Although the hall was
well filled there was not so large an audi
ence present at the musicale last evening as
there was last week.
The programme was both vocal and in
strumentaE. Miss Wyatt sang two solec-
tions-"Waitin Heat" -" with violin OBJ
lieato, by DR.. Bartkowski). by TORY, and
"Old Folks at Home" by;Foster: in both
of which she acquitted herself most credi-
tably. She possesses Il rich. pure voice, and
has improved wonderfully in her method
since she last appeared before the Associa-
ton.
Mr.. John Reinhardt played his violin
solo-the Seventh Concerto" OF Rhodes
very correctly; and while he exhibited
more self-possession than in his former
effort, his playing will be far more effective
as he gains more confidence. He is young
man OF great promise.
The orchestra, though not as large as
usual, was we'll balanced, and Auber'o flnc
overture, "Cbeyal dc Bronze" "Trau-
mere," by Schumann, and Jungmann's
"Heimweh," were all performed with taste
and expression.
a charming composition for string quar-
tette, by Haydn, was given with pleasing
effect by Messrs. kessnich, John Reinhardt,
Thiow, and Baseler.
1t is a-Dity that members are not more
prompt in coming to the muStcdteS. The
| hour for the perfOrmance-95 o'cock-ls
sufficiently late to give all ample time to be
| in the Hall before the music begins. Those
coming in late last evening destroyed in Il
great measure the effect OF the opening
overture, which was so well rendered by
| the orchestra.

In announcing the delivery OF the Fran
els Gwinn medal Nounded by Rev. Dr. D.
W. Gwinn, Of Atlanta, Ga, in honor Of his
mother). DR.. Curry, the professor OF Moral
Philosophy, took occasion to say that this
honor had not been lightly won, but that
Mr.. Frank Anderson OF Richmond, Mr..
Bartenstein OF Warrenton, and Mr.. Rig
gan OF Isle of Wight, had contested the
honor so closely that it was very difficult
for him to decide. But after fec hours Of
hard work and careful calculation he had
decided that Mr.. Coleman was entitled to
the prize.
REV. DR.. Long, in delivering
TIE PHILOSOPHY MEDAL,
made an address which, for ability, appro-
priateness, and graceful diction, is rarely
excelled on a college platform, and it is re-
gretted that the crowded columns OF the
Dispatch prevents any report OF it.
In comforting the law diplomas Professor
Davies made most appropriate and grace
fu little speech to the graduates.
THE CLOSING ADDRESS
Of Professor Puryear to the Masters o
Arts and the graduates generally was one
of rare power, and was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. He explained that the college
requires everv man who, bears off diplo-
ma to make at least eighty per cent. on his
examinations and in his class standing, and
that proof OF the high standard Of scho-
larship required in Richmond College was
the fact that they bad had only sixteen Mas
ters OF Arts since 1866.
He congratulated and warmly thanked
the students on their uniform good be-
llarior during the session, and said that,
while his life had been spent in colleges,
he had never known 4 session so distin-
| guished for good order.
| The address contained number OF good
things, which brought down the house.
And thus has closed most brilliant CON-
mencement OF our Richmond College.

In reference to your reading, sir, would
offer a remark or two before closing. And
first, as was SO grandly told us last Monday
night, be sure to "take aim." Do not read
without definite end in view. Lord Lyt-
ton says '' ''reading without purpose is saun-
tering and not exercise" Indiscrimlnate
reading will give you desultory habits oi
mind and eneender in you a sort or mentai
dyspepsia, which will render high success
in any direction impossible. Even When
YOU want recreation in reading be carc1ui
to select the book that will best give you
lust the refreshment you need. !.
9. Be sure to get the best book on Wnal-
ever subject you are studying, and 90 not
imagine you must read all tha' mas peeh
written about it. or the millions OF po1hs Ss,
that have been published there are probably
not more than one hundred which are
worthy your careful reading. Life Is TOO
short to read. everything, but it IS long
enough for you to read all you will have any
use for.
8. Availyourself OF the Judgment OF your
wisest friends in deciding what to READ.

as you take medicine, by advice and not by
advertisement" And will dare to take
advantage OF circumstances and advise you

WHY SUBMIT TO THE DISCOMFORT, and
humiliation entailed by local disease of
the skin, when GLENN'S SULPHER SOAP
will rid you of it with certainty and de-
spatch 1t is remedy which never fails
to relieve cutaneous disease, and, as a
means of banishing defects of the COM
plexion, it is equally reliable. The bene-
fits arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
in cases of skin disease, and of rheuma-
tism and govt, are well known, but the
cost is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-
tage of them. GLENN's SULPHER SOAP
answers the same purpose, and is both
inexpensive and convenient No one
need stir abroad in search of a sulphur
bath who has this admirable means of
providing one in doors. 1t is incomparably
the deodorizer and disinfectant of clothing
and bed linen in use, and prevents diseases
OF an obnoxious nature caused bycontact So
res, u leers. bruises, scalds cuts and spraius
arepromtly remedied by it; aud its clearly,
healing and soothing properties constitute
1t far more desirable remedy for scorbutic

since such greasy compounds soil the

indeed do any permanent good.

was a grand success and fully demonstrated
the professors ability as musical in

there is good reason to expect that this

gramme will be presented; by all means
attend. Programmes will be out to-mor-
