In comforting the medal for spelling, Mr..
Hoover stated that it had been fairly won by
four of the boys, and the honor was there
fore divided between the following: T. W..
Burke, NJ. Mcclure, II. B. Hanger and R. E..
Kinney. Master Burke, being the youngest Of
the four, was permitted to wear the medal
first.
The valedictory essay by II. NJ. Bell, Jr.,
closed the exercises. 1t was well written
and finely delivered, and, Notwithstanding
the hackneyed subject, proved one OF the
most entertaining features OF the exercises.
With benediction by the Rev. W. E.
Baker the well-pleased audience was dis
missed, and the young students set at liber-
ty for two or three months to come.
We congratulate Prof. Hoover and his as
sistants upon the success that has attended
their efforts to establish in this city really
excellent male school, from which students
may enter the universities with the founda-
ton Of their collegiate education well laid or
step into the business of life well prepared
to meet its requirements.
The Staunton Male Academy is now rec
ognized as one of the institutions of our
growing little city, and our people, looking
upon it with pride, will year after year
watch its growth with increased interest.
On Friday night the commencement ball
was given in the Grange Hall. The rooms
were crowded with gallant youths and their
fair companions, and the music OF the dance
continued until far into the morning. Dur

ed seven, Misses Spears, Symington, Firor,
Gum, Watkins, Woodrow, Smith. While
the number was unusually large, it is proof
not that the honors are more easily won than
usual, but that the school is In most pros
porous condition, Notwithstanding the
threadbare story Of hard times. That most
of the young ladies are from the South is
gratifying proof that Southern parents have
not forgotten the traditions of their race,
and are eager in spite OF political and none
tary drawbacks to give their daughters every
possible advantage Of a liberal and advanced
education.
A diploma Of graduation in music wa S
conferred upon Miss Goyer; especial
medal for the greatest number OF perfect
recitations during the Year, upon little Susie
Cochran, who was rapturously applauded as
she gracefully came forward to receive The
distinguished honor. To Miss Mildred
Watkins, of Rockingham county, Va, was
awarded the supreme honor Of the school, a
gold medal, for general excellence OF schol-
arship, In addition to certificate Of pro-
ficiency from the Faculty of the University
of Virginia, she having passed satisfactorily
the University examination in the schools of
Latin, French, mathematics and moral
science. Miss Woodrow, of South Carolina,
also received similar certificate from the
University of Virginia Faculty. Such dis
tinctions as these are something to be re-
ceived with honest pride, and the fortunate
recipients testified their appreciation by
glowing faces and involuntary EXPLANATIONS
ofsurprse and delight. The award of med
ais terminated tho exercises Of the evening,
| and one second after the benediction was
pronounced, marvellous transformation
scene took place. There seemed new Pen.
| tecost begun in the unloosing OF several hun.
dred tongues, and we left the hall with q
bewildered sense Of having fallen upon a
nineteenth century Babel.

Singular End of a Match

The successive disablement OF the
various contestants for the London
walking match recalls the somewhat
similar ending Of a rather singular
match set on foot some years ago by a
native Prince of Northern India. A
bear, a lion, a tiger, a bull, and a horse
belonging to one Of the Rajah's mount
ed guards, we're turned into an Enclosure
together, and left to fight it out. Eets
were naturally divided as to the result,
but both the Rajab himself and his
English guests were unanimous in bet
ting against the horse. The moment
the animals were left to themselves,
the tiger, creeping along the ground
like a cat, sprang at the bulls throat,
and brought it down. The next NOM
emit the conqueror fell In his turn before
the rush of the lion, though not with
out making a fearful cash in the latter;

lion then met, and the former, locking
his huge paw around the neck Of the en-
feebled beast, sti1ed him with one hug

The Baby.

He was married but a little more
than a year ago. Then his step was
elastic, his eye bright, his clothing
faultless in style, fit and cleanliness.
He exhaled an aroma of Lubin's best.
Now are his habilments redolent Of
elixir pro-, paregoric, squills and like
denominations. Care is indelibly stamp
ed on his features, and on the right
shoulder of his coat appears a well-de-
fined, mysterious discoloration. His
boots, as well as his eyes, are lustrs-
less; his hat goes u%nbrushed; he falls
asleep on the slightest ~proyocation; he
is constantly bearing homeward neat
little white paper parcels tied with pink
string; walls are prevalent in every
pocket, What has brought about these
changes? To what subtle spell is this
metamorphosis due? There's a baby
up at his house.

to free ourselves from that infamous
regime. He, for one, could MOI for
get the friends whose noble blood
had streamed in tine streets of New
Orleans, and made Gen. Ogden
famous He appealed to his hear
ers 20 make that blood good for the
Democratic party.
He was a personal friend Of Gen.
Ogden; but, as q member Of the
Legislature of 1875, he could not
pass unnoticed that famous day,
the 4th of January, which made
Hon. L. A. Wilt famous. He
recognized the superior qualities Of
Gov. Wilt, as one well acquainted
with Louisiana politics; he has
never been known to solicit the in
fiuence Of any man dishOnorably.
Although some contention had
arisen between the friends of Gen.
Ogden aud Lieutenant Governor
Wilt, prior to and at the Baton
Rouge Convention, he had always
been of opinion that the military
hero Of the 14th of September
should not be ranked higher than
the political hero of the 18th Of
January.
After impressing upon his hear
ers the great Importance Of the
coming contest, and expressing the
hope that every true Democrat
would do his whole duty, he closed
his remarks, thanking them for
their kind attention.

vention then adjourned sine die.
