! THE JoLL1FICATIoN At RICHMOND Col.
LEGE-A LITTLE NONSENSE Now AND THEN
is REL1sHED BY THE WIsEsT MEN-CABBAGE.
HEAD TESTIMONIALS, &C.-The annual iolli.
fication or Social-C Club reInion OF the stu.
dents OF Richmond College was held last
night. The College chapel was beautifully
decorated for the occasion, and was crowd
ed to suffocation. The hall was filed and
the lawn in the vicinity crowded, many
persons being turned away. The follow
Ing programme was presented:
Chorus. Debate, "Resolved, That the
Spider should be executed for killing the
Fly,"-afirpative, A. r. Long, Chester,
Pa; L. c. Catlett, Gloucester negative,
E. 7. West, Jr., Louisa; W. T. Derieux,
Essex. Chorus. CoDferring Of medals,
distinctions, &C., by President. Chorus.
Dramatic (?)-Blue Glass Introducing re-
collections of the Poorhouse, Penitentiary,
and other "S1mmer Resorts" by DI-z-rt
Orchestra-Bill, Curry; Jim, Cone; DR..
Stanley, Boyd; Hans Schuyler, Haynes; !;
Marteilo, Bouldin. Chorus. Rig-Jag-Jig-
Jag (Rosini).
The speeches OF Messrs. Ca:lett and
Long were very good, but the audience
thought otherwise, and decided in favor of
the negative side OF the question. Mr..
Starke's opening speech and addresses in
comforting distinctions were appropriate
and happy. The following presentations
were made: Looking-glass to Mr.. Tucker,
the Pretty Man; hair-oil to Mr.. Boudin,
the Swell; mustard-plaster to Mr.. Bidgood.
the Wit; bottle OF catsup to Mr.. Winfree,
the Mummy; tin plate with alphabet to
Mr.. Wilson, the Baby; handkerchief to
Mr.. Xix, the Fat Man; candy to Mr. Little,
the Pet; Il horn to Mr.. Baum, the Cas- Bag !;
pair Of socks TO Messrs. Brooke and Mar
tin. the Twins.
President Starke was also presented with
horn as blower; after which he recited
"The boy stood on the burning deck"
All the participants on the programme
faithfully performed their parts, were loudly
applauded, and were the recipients OF nu-
merous cabbage-head testimonials.
No entertainment in the history Of the
College has given more satisfaction or been
received with more general favor.

Feliciana sentinel., 1878-12-14

THIS GIN has been in use for the past
five seasons, and several recent improve
ments have been added. II ohvlates all
friction at the ends of the cotton box,
prevents the roll from breaking. and
gives LARGER YIELD OF LINT FROM
THE SAME AMOUNT OF SEED THAN
ANY OTHER GIN IN USE. The Revol.
wing Head lightens the drift, and causes
the gin to run faster with less driving
power, thus doing a great deal more
work within the same time, while econO-
mizing steam or animal power, than an
other GIN. The seed being ginned We.
close, the length Of the staple is increas-
ed. producing cotton on this account of Il
greater market value. This improved

Sicilian Satire.

We 60 the Villa Butere, and would
you, good reader, to join us ere we close
this first epistle from Palermo. This
little staggling town of Bagaria is full of
history and beauty, but the villa ! speak
of is one Of the best satires of the age.
1t was erected by nobleman, who con-
verted it afterwards into sham monas-
terry. We enter. The solemnity is only
broken by the smiles Of our padre and
coDfrere. We suspect, but cannot
divine their motives. The cloisters are
opened, and 10! there stand, kneel and
sit before us groups of life-like monks.
They are all occupied silently and SOL
emnly in their various offices, and not a
word ia heard. Our amazement arouses
the mirth of good padre, who breaks the
spell and says: "See what art can do!
These are all wax!" True to the life
are these figures. But the satire or sar-
casm lies in the fact that each face is a
perfect likeness Of some friend of the
eccentric nobleman, and each friend
was celebrated rs a worldly man of the
world, loving the bounteous board of
his host, and forgetting friendship when
the wine grew warm. But the wax
model has reformed the human man,
and instances are told me thereof in this
lovely villa region; and as pass along
back to Palermo, and the twilight blue
succeeds the rosy purple evening, / pom
der over the number Of men still left a.
mere wax, and with little of human in
their hearts--C Baltimore Sua.

Wilkie Collins has completed Dickens
story, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood,"
and it is to be published in Paris. Many
admirers of Dickens have preferred that
the story should never be completed,
but left in its unfinished state, touch
ing reminder of the man whose genius
gave it birth and the light of whose life
went out prematurely on Gad's Hill.
Mr.. Collins however, has seen fit to con-
clude it, and to print it in Paris, in the
French language. 1t appears under the
title ole Crime de Jasper par Charles
Dickens ct Wilkie Collins" It is issued
without preface or explanation of any
kind, and is simply continuation of
edwin Drood," taken up just at the
point where its author left it. Why it
should have been published in the
French language at Paris instead Of the
English at London or New York, the
public is not informed; but inasmuch
as British copyright law does not prevail
in Paris, and Mr.. Collins presumably
has not had the sanction of Mr.. Dickens
literary executors, the reason would
seem to be clear. A few new characters
are intoduced, which the London En-
aminer says are thoroughly in keep
ing" and the conclusion is, it says,
very we'll DONE" brood is rescued
by Durdles: Jasper's secret is extracted
by means of drug which compels him
to speak; Jasper dies; Honeythunder
turns out to be the father of Deputy
Rose marries Tartar, and Helen marries
brood, and Buzzard is identified with
hatchery. But after all, we opine, these
last chapters lack the magic touch Of

A Strange End to q Fight.

Two skulls of stays, with their horns
so firmly locked together that they
could not be separated, were found one
is quite plain tina. they once belonged to
couple of stays who had terrible fight
in the solitude of the mountains. After
the combat had been kept up some time,
their horns became so tangled and locked
together that they could not get them
apart. 1t is very probable that when
this happened, they stopped thinking of
fighting, and tried their best to get away
from each other. But this was of no
use. Their horns were so firmly inter-
locked that they could not twist nor pull
them apart. So they stumbled about
for the rest of their lives, with their
heads close together. We cannot know
how long they lived this way. They
may have been able to eat little grass,
if both of them agreed to put down
their heads at the same time. But at
last they died. And how curiously
things turned out! Each of them hoped
to kill the other, and yet the result of the
quarrel was to bind them together as
long as they lived ,and even death did
not part them. And, if they thought
that no one would ever know of their
