On Tuesday night the exhibition Of
the Literary Societies of the school
was another Of their enjoyable enter
taiuments. 1t consisted of vocal and
instrumental music. essays and ad-
dresses. And we have never heard
the music excelled in any school.
There were several pieces of music
rendered by six and nine young ladies
upon three pianos, and their rendition
was truly elegant. and excellent be.
yond our powers of description.
On Wednesday morning the faculty
graduated two Of its scholars, Miss
Maggie Teller and Mr.. A. A. Thomas,
at which time the large audience was
again treated to excellent music by the
young ladies Of the school; and Mr.
Thomas delivered an excellent ad
dress-subject: Design means Di'
vine" Miss Teller delivered the vale
dictory essay-subject: Change
which brought tears to many eyes.
Rev. w. j. Young. of San Antonio
delivered the annual Literary Address
subject: Science and Christianity,
which was handled with marked abili
ty and great appropriateness to the &C.
casion. Seldom have we listened TO q
more highly appropriate aud vel
timed speech.
We congratulate Coronal Institute
its pupils and patrons on the marked
success Of the scholastic year, aud say

China as a Military Power.

1t is not customary to look upon the
Chinese empire, with its 800, 900, 900
of people, as at all formidable III war.
The celebrity with which Great Britain
forced the use of opium upon that ma
tion gave us all a very poor opinion Of
Celestial proves. That was war of
noise versus cold lad. 1t was gongs
against guns. Johu Chinaman had no
conception of the military ways of
John Bull.
But that was several years ago, and
hardly had peace reigned at Hong
Kong before the prudent Chinese
Government set about getting ready
for future contingencies. A careful
study was made Of foreign civilization,
not with a view to improvement, bnt
simply of defense. China had no
more idea of becoming Occidental
than a hunter has of becoming a wild
beast. Finding it necessary to pro-
tect itself against powerful barbarians,
the Gov, rnment determined to learn
all about war as crried on by barba-
rians. Industriously pursuing this
course, China has supplied itself with
Il very respectful navy-some twenty
gun boats, manned by foreigners, and
any number of native men of war.
The soldiers are armed with the latest
breech-loading rifles, bought largely in
this country.

Whose grave is this ?
y drunkard's
How sad-pOOr man, Just think,
once no doubt he was the petted idol
of the home circle, the ornament of
society; somebody's darling" and
now he fills dishonorcd grave!
Once perhaps his eloquence thrilled
countless hearts, his will swayed thou
sands, his word was law.
A bow from him was something of
which to be proud, a smile, word, a
thing to be treasured, and nOw-he
rests in n drunkards grave.
What he was Is forgotten. or if re-
membered; is recalled with contempt
mingled perhaps with pity; and per
chance those who offered the tempting
draught, who encouraged, who forced
