THE LAST NIGHT.


The commencement exercises were con-
cluded on Tuesday night. The opening PRAYER
by Rev. DIR. Frost, of the Baptist church, was
followed by magnificent sacred chorus, Mo-
zarts "Gloria in Excelsis," sung by the vocal
class, accompanied by two pianos with the
organ. The reading of reports, distribution OF
certificates, premiums, medals and diplomas
in the different departments occupied some
time.
The very large number of pupils, nearly two
hundred as Miss Baldwins report announced
and the lavish generosity in the bestowal of
awards upon those who merited them in each
department of study, prolonged this part of
the proceedings beyond the usual length of
time given to it in other schools, In this
Seminary, as is well known, the standard Of
graduation is very high, and the requirements
for reaching it so difficult of attainment that
it is ALMOST impossible, even among so large n
number, for many to graduate. There is this
year class numbering seven full graduates

the traitor himself would have a
chance to escape with tie rest as

Rebuffed in this attempt, Mamai

A MOVEMENT has been started at a water
ing place in central New York for the form
alton of Woman's Sanitary Association, 10
be national in its scope. The most interest
irg address at the late conference at Green
wood Lake, n. J., was by a woman. The
women OF Michigan have long been engaged
in sanitary work, and we have reason to be-
lieve with the very best results. The towns
of central New England also bear testimony
to what women can do in this direction. In
Old England they have been organized for a
few years past, and have been the means of
greatly assisting the public health authori-
ties, by printed5 information and personal
direction and assistance. That woman in .
national sanitary body can do great deal
of good there is no reason to doubt, and we
trust that every State IN the Union will be
represented, Tennessee especially, by women
who have given this subject attention.
