THE CLASSICAL SOCIETY.
A Learned Discussion Over an Essay Read
by Mrs. Cary Long.

In spite of the very unfavorable weather
last evening goodly number, of whom more than
half were ladies' gathered in Miss Ransom's studio
to listen to paper by Mrs. Cary Long on The
Use and Abuse of the Classical" She commenced
with sketch of Greek civilization, and especially
of the influence of its ideas in art and literature
On the revival of literature in Europe servle imi-
tation and devotion to the the classical had most
unfortunate effect upon the language and arts of
Italy and France In sculpture this has continued
almost TO the present day, as is evident in
Greenoughs statue of Washington. Its influence
on painting and architecture has at different
periods been no less unfavorable. But, on the
other hand the right use of the classical has en-
riched our language with some of its finest treas
ures, and most of our great poets have been thor
ough classical scholars. Asan instance of the best
use of the antique, Goethe'S "Iphigenia in Taurus
was cited. Judge Lawrence who presided as vice
president, made some remarks on the force and
expreSsivenesS of the Greek language, and the
great thoughts embalmed in it; also, on the excel
lence of the legal and other nlaximS handed down
to US in the latin. Judge Upton, being called on,
spoke of the value OF the study ofIhe classics with
reference to English etymology; also of the results
OF the imagination anticipating many practical
discoveries. Assistant District Attorney Miller
considered the classics fully as important in a
course of education as mathematics. Rev. DR.. Pat
ton, president of Howard University spoke of the
ennobling influence of classical studies. While
the study of nature is grand pursuit, the study
of man is grander. Judge Shellabarger, COM
mencing in humorous vein, made some eloquent
and cogent remarks in favor of the study of the
classic tongues. Judge French made some very
amusing hits and confessions as to the ability
of even college graduates to get the
real meaning of classical authors in the
original. Professor Elliott made an earnest plea
for the mathematics, as not the antagonist but as
part, of the classics. DR.. Gregory thought that
two distinct questions had been discussed-that of
the classical and the classics, dead languages,
which were but the she'll of the oyster. The abuse
of the classical is imitation; the of it is in
spiratiOn. And the great lesson that the classics
teach us is to go to nature and study at the great
fountain head. After paying a compliment to the
essayst of the evening. he closed with eloquent
tribute to the Classical Society, and to Miss Ransom
as its originator On motion of Judge Upton, q
vote of thanks to Mrs. Long for her admirable
essay was passed. Judge Shellabarger in the name
of the society," expressed its gratitude to Miss Ran
som for her selfsacrifcing efforts to promote its
interests, in which Judge Lawrence heartily con-

To the Editor 1.-THE REPUBLICAS:
One of the most contemplate traits of
acertain class of newspaper men is the facility with
which they change from being ObsequiOus
funkeys to lOud-mouthed denunciators and cyni-
cal critics when they think their interests may be
served thereby. Illustrations of the truth of this
assertion may be found in the columns of the New
York Tribune and its little tail piece, the Washing
ton Ereaing Star. Both of these papers not long
ago teemed with the most fulsOme praises
of Grant and Conkling, the Star being
particularly obsequiOus. Now that the
papers named and the class they represent
think that Grant and Conkling are on the down
grade, they are, to use Western expression, very
/" fresh and chippy." Well gentlemen, there is an
old adage which says they laugh best who laugh
last" and if some of your crowd don't get dose
before you are much older it will greatly surprise
many people. Grant and COnkling. who won New
York for President Garfield and the rOte Of t1Gt STATE
made him President could not be put down last fall
by the entire Democratic party, led by such man
as General W. ). Hancock and assisted by all the
halfbreedS in the country. Neither Grant nor
COnkling will be put down now, and it may be as
well for those who have so strong a laundering for
the trimming side to go slow in order to Obviate
awkward explanations hereafter. STALWART.

The unique concert at Waugh Chapel
last night was one of the most successful that have
been given during the season. The costumes were
appropriate, and in some instances quite elaborate,
and the scene presented of the fresh and beautiful
faces peering from calashe or huge poke bonnets
was an attractive one. The orchestra was large and
effective, and performed its duty well and artist
caliy. The selections of the programme were most
attractive, the solos were well executed. and the
choruses were rendered with precision, power.
and thrilling effect that brought forth the most
liberal and emphatic applause. The object of the
