COLLEGE coMMENcEnENT.
BaceaIaureates Sermon Last Night 10 the
Young Ladies OF the Graduating Glass.

BaccaIhureRte Sermon Last Night 10 the
Young Ladies' OF the Graduating Glass.
According to announcement the Bacca-
laureate sermon to the young ladies Of the
Graduating Glass at the Female College
was preached at the Fourth Street M. E.
Church last night, by the pastor, Rev. c.
P. Masden. The young ladies whose school
life is about drawing to a close occupied
seats next the pulpit, together with some
Of their school mates OF other classes, and
the large church was filled in spite OF the
Indictment weather at the hour for the
commencement OF service. Mr.. Masden
took as his subject "The Law OF Service;
or, the Philosophy OF True Greatness"
founding his discourse upon q passage In
the twentieth chapter Of Matthew:
whatsoever will be great among you,
let him be your minister, and whoaoeYer
will be chief, let him be your servant"
This passage was spoken by Christ In
answer to Salome's prayer that her two
sons might occupy the positions OF honor
10 las kingdom. The prayer was admis.
sible. but Salome had not taken into
account the means by which the prefer
ment she coveted for her sons was to be
obtained. But when Christ made this
known, James and John heroically accept
ed the offer OF the Lord at the fearful
price. Christ said lie could not give them
the places they desired, "bnt they shall be
given to them for whom they are prepared
OF my Father" That Is, character wins
position. Service is the road to greatness.
This is the lesson::ot the text; TO be great
you must be Of service, useful to the world
and to the human race.
There are different ideals Of greatness
wealth, fame, intelligence, pleasure,
usefulness and character being the chief
OF these ideals. There Is tendency In
the human disposition TO aristocracy, and
this tendency has It's good, as well as
evil effects. A life without ambition, with.
out desire TO rise 10, be something use.
| ful, is like vine without tendrils, 1t will
grow upon the ground, bear no fruit, and
die unnotioed. But the great question Is,
What is the proper object OF ambitioni
An aristocracy founded on riches is plain
ynot the highest or best. As Shakespeare
says, "Thou barest thy riches but jour
ney, and death unloads thee" Neither Ii
an aristocracy founded on family the
noblest or most desirable. :

upon the. .proprietors OF such estates that
the windmill, useful enough in its day, has

wish to remind them of the ~undoubted loss

The subject is one of much Importance,
and we commend it to the earnest consi.
deration of our agricultural friends. It
may perhaps be thought that our obser-
vations are too general, but we have
neither time nor space at our disposal to
90 into the details of the question. We
are however possessed with firm convic-
ton that the planters of Barbados must
strain every nerve to keep the ground

indeed, the only way to do this is to lose
no time 10 learning and putting 10 force the

our voice for the repeal or countervaiing
OF the unjust Sugar bounties, but let us,
at the same time devote oil our energies

Ringing up all around him 10 the field

London, 20.-Pstrick J. Smythe, re-
Gently elected a heme-rule member fol

events since the election bring home 10
him forcibly the truth that he is not in

as the defeat of the conservatives was
greatly due 70 the lamentab'e deficiencies
in the organization, which he trusted
would be remedied in future, and with
that visw he suggeste ths appointment
of a com miLtee, with w. II. Smith a.
chairman. He said the Iumors of his
retirement from the leadership of ths
party were unfounded. If the party
considered mis- retention OF the leadership
an advantage, whatever ability he pos
sessed would be devoted to their service.
Lord CarnaTvon, who wal warmly

OF the new ministry filed him with doubt

The controversy about the recall of
Sir Bartle Fresrs threatens to create con-
siderable dissa isfaction within the liberal
party. Several advanced liberal news
papers, including the Pail Mall Gazette.
are clamorous for his recall and point
out that members Of the present govern
ment strongly censured the Beaeonsfeld
cabinet for retaining him, after blaming
him for participation in the Zulu war
At that time it was alleged that court
influence maintained Sir Bartle in his
position, aud anything savoriug of court
influence Is especially distastefll to that
section of the liberal party which nov
demands recall.

10000 in thirty year, seven per cent. bonds.
The taxable property of tn Q city as assessed,
is 50, 100000, in round numbers, now, lin ex-
act figures it is $3,40O,000) and can we not
reasonably assume, that as the city grows
and develops, taxable values will in
crease and the amount be greater
each succeeding year? The interest on $780,
600, at seven per cent. for thirty years, is
equal to 2l0per cent. on that amount for
one year; but by annual payments and q
sinking fund, which, to be invested at the
same rate Of interest, or by redemption
Of the bonds, il will average lO5 per
cent, or say, total of S5l, 900 prin-
cipal and interest that the city will have to
pay. This being true, will it not be oquiva-
lent to an annual payment of Sl,033 interest
and sinking fund to pay oil the debt? This,
we see, is but about one-thirtieth of one per
cent. Of taxation for sewer and sanitary tax.
But the assessable value of property in Dali
las if it could be rendered at
its honest and legitimate figures would be
fully S6,0OO,00O to-day, which would make
the rate oftaxation still less. Every year
theamountof taxable properties willincrease,
for the past year they were at their lowest
possible figures, and this year it is not I'M
reasonable to estimate them at S6,0U0000
AS population grows and new industries and
new business enterprises open up, the
value of taxable property increases and
the taxable property itself increases, which
will still more lessen the rates of taxation,
We will concede that we have assumed in
these calculations the doing by this city of
what few cities have any record Of having
indeed only, viz. the due investment of n
sinking fund at rate Of int rest equal to the
debt for which that sinking fund was crea-
d, but if Dallas utterly fails to do this, our
calculation is still safe for the one-thirtieth
of one per cent for the reason that we have
assumed that the taxable property next gear
will be $4,000 900 which it certainly must
reach under fair assessment, to say nothing
ofwhat it will be in five years from now.
We all know that Dallas must sooner or
later have sewerage system, and
we all ought to know, if we do not, that it
can be done for less money now, before the
streets are improved, than afterward. We
trust that the Council and our citizens will
give this question that grave consideration
its importance demands. An imperiJus ne
cessty is upon US and it behooyes our citi-
zons, ms sensible, thinking people, to look the
matter squarely in the face and meet it I'M
hesitatingly, otherwise if disease shall come
from the lack of the necessary sanitary pre-.
caution, then let it be on record who sought
to avert it and who did not.

, Our reporter called upon Colonel Il. G.
Bower, chairman of tbs State Executive
committee, yesterday, to interview him on the
nextSt to convention. His information was
that Dallas had gotten the convention, and
that he would issue his call for it to meet in
this city, if our citizens made the tender of a
several places where the members of the con-
vention and large crowd of spectators can
be accommodated, and it behoves our people
to tax steps in the matter at one There
will be an immense crowd Of people here who
will spend great deal Of money, and Dallas
must spread herself for their accommodation
and suitable entertainment. A meeting ought
to be held ithout delay and proper COM
mittees appointed This thing must be at
tended TO Immediately.
