CLOSING EXERCISES.

AS was indicated in the "Post" of
the Goth, the closing exercises at the
University came off yesterday after
noon, and were witnessed aud en-
ioyed by large number of the par
ents and friends Of the students in
attendance. The programme was so
long that we have not room to pub
lish it in full, but cannot refrain from
mentioning the names of some OF
those who participated in the exer
cises. All did well, but those we
mention excelled themselves. After
singing by the school and severa
recitations, Miss Bell Clifford recite' ,
in distinct, clear voice, "Annie AM
Willie's Prayer" which was foIlowet
by the reading of paper-the ''Chip
Basket"-edited by Miss Addie j..
Chambers and Carrie White, read
by Clarence White, and which con-
tanned many good things. The reci'
tations by Miss Addie George, Jas.
III. Hill, Ed. Smithers, Luella Wit
tenmeyer, and the reading by K.
Crawford, Miss Emma Weller and
Miss Rosa Downs, were all good
especially so with the reading by the
last named young lady. G. Fl. Jud-
sons original poem was quite good
and created much merriment. All
acquitted themselves creditably, and
the entire programme was executed
satisfactorily.
In conclusion, Prof. Anderson
presented a gold per to little Emma
Collins and napkin ring to Fanny
Robinson for greatest proficiency in
writing. The Prof. stated that 125
scholars were in attendance, and that
113 were eXamincd--the remaining
12 being recent arrivals. Eighty

IT seems from the dispatch of the Seere-
tary of State, to the President OF the How
ard Association of this city. that the au-
thorities of jackson are recovering from
the effects OF their recent panic Hence we
withdraw an article prepared for TINS
mornings Herald. - Vicksburg deralu,
Wednesday.
We would state for the information of our
cOtemporary. that the authorities of jack
son have been and expect to remain per-
fectly placid. The Herald ought to know
by this time that the authorities OF our city
have not requested, and are in no manner
responsible for the proposed stoppage OF
trains. 1t is their desire, and the desire OF
our community, to afford every possible
facility to those points afflicted with the
yellow fever. In this connection we caAi
attention to the correspondence between
Mayor McGill and Capt. Clingan. Agent OF
the Vicksburg and Meridian road.

Memphis has many rich men who own
palatial stores along Nam street. There is
not one of these rich men here TO-DAY. in
the hour of our greatest calamity. These
rich men are neither represented in person
nor by their surplus dollars. The majority
of the men who are standing in the deadly
breach, fighting the most gigantic plague
that ever cursed American SOIL are men
who do not own one dollar in real essate in
Memphis. Where are John Ovefton. Jr .,
Apperson. Gen. Joseph Z. Williams, and a
score of others that we propose to mention
at a future time? Have We seen the light
OF their countenances or the color of their
money? Facts are stubborn things, and We
are now treating Of facts.
The men who are to-day standing in the
fore front of the battle have no capital but
their manhood God bless them. They
will have no other reward than the assur-
ance of good deeds we'll performed.

BURNED TO DEATH.-A young Eng
fish woman named Violet Thompson,
who has been living for some months with
Col. F. 7. Cooper's family, as a domestic,
was burned to death on Monday evening.
1t appears that she poured coal oil on the
wood in the stove, and then set the can on
the stove. In a few seconds she was envel-
oped in flames. The only other person on
the premises at the time was Mr.. Collins
Hemingway, who tore her clothing from
her person. The ladies OF the family. who
were in the woods in rear of the house, hear
ing the screams, came promptly to fhe relief
of the unfortunate woman. She died yes
