Miss Springfield, the talented Music
teacher, has good reason to be proud of
her pupils, who acquitted themselves to
perfection in the solos, duets and cho-
ruses so exquisitely rendered by them.
We dislike very much to individual
ize, where all did so well, yet we can
not withhold our compliments from
Miss Mary Hill, whose charming voice
gave pleasure to all in the solo Bride
Bells and in the duet, ooh Could I
Teach the Nightingale" in which she
was assisted by the pretty Miss Belle
Beal whose sweet tones went apaCe
with her own.
Miss Fanny Lefever, sang exQuisitely,

Miss Pauline Nelson, was charming in
her songs and musical renditions, as also
Miss Abramson who assisted her in the
latter. Miss Elite Graves sang very
feelingly the song Break, Break, Break
Miss Lillian Bard, a former pupil, read
an excellent address.
The Address, delivered by Miss May
Thomas, evidenced application and in
telligence, and was highly appreciated
by the audience.
Little Miss Bates, at the request Of her
friends, was called upon. and responded
most creditably in neat little address
which drew forth the plaudits of the
audience,
The Salutatory, delivered by Miss
Eta Graves, was piece of composition
OF great merit. This young lady is one
OF two graduates OF this session, whose
requirements reflect great credit upon
the institution.
The valediCtory was delivered by
Miss Ida Bohnstedt, a young lady who
six years ago, could not speak a word
of the English language, which she has
mastered at Readvilla, since her entry
there, four years ago. She lead the
address, beautif I'll composition, with
the purest accent.
In the name of the Trustees, Professor
W. H. n. Magruder presented the di-
plomas to Misses Graves and BOhnstedt,
after making short though appropriate
and feeling address.
Col. h. A. Cross, the orator of the occa-
sion, then delivered a learned and schol,
arly discourse evidencing the deep re,
searches he has made in the domain OF
science and philosophy. A master OF
the English language, he speaks with
great purity and remarkable huency
The Colonel fully maintained the high
reputation he has earned as scholar
and an orator.
President Johnston of the Louisiana
State University and Professor J. W
Nicholson, in turn, were called upon fOI
impromptu speeches. These gentlemen
answered the call in the most felicitou
terms, terminating thus the pleasing In
, cidents of the commencement.
Weo"nnot praise too much the efforts
of the talented faculty Of the Readvilli
Seminary, who have kept up to the
highest degree of excellence, the long
established standing of that, one Of tn
. finest institutions Of learning, for y1unt
ladies. in our State.
| So long as the Readvitia exists in on
city, parents will have 10 need to sent
their daughters away from home, il
search Of education and refined man
ncrs.
