Mr.. SPEER'S SPEECH
TO THE
GRADUATING CLASS BOYS HIGH
SCHOOL OF ATLANTA.

w uen MT. Opeer caIne lOrWaTu
on the stage, he was greeted with
much applause. He was hand
somely introduced by Prof. Bass,
principal, and spoke as follows:
Young Gentlemen of the Grad
uating Glass: Your orator this
evening is in entire sympathy with
you. 1t has been such q very, very
short while since he stood up to
take his diploma, as you will do to-
night, that he feels quite as one of
you-"one of the boys you know.
You will therefore have no long,
patrorizing discourse, but simply a
sociable little talk, just as one of
the Seniors at College might talk to
a Freshman, if indeed a Senior was
ever so condescending as to talk to
a Freshman.
You are out of school for vaca-
ton, and that is very pleasant for
awhile, and you will enjoy it i'm
mensely for while. But pleasures
in this life of ours are not very per.
manent. Burns, in melodious yer
sifcation tells US that
Pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, its bloom is she'd"
And a more modern philosopher,
quaint old 'FUncle Remus," in his
plantation proverbs, cautions us,
watch out when you are gettin' all
You want. Fattenin' hogs amt in
luck."' Laughter. You can't do
better therefore with your vacation
than to devote little time to re-
fection on the work that is before
you-whether you will enter at
once on the life long duties which
fall to the lot of every useful man,
or whether you are to serve an ap-
premiership to science and litera-
ture in the work of the College or
the University.
That you have been studious and
diligent, young gentlemen, your
efforts tonight give abundant evi-
dence. That you "are of the stuff
that men are made off, your looks,
your parentage, your blood, your
State, your country are the guaran-
tors. AS far as you have gone, you
have been well trained-excellent-
ly well-and in the substratum of
brain and character there is well
laid the clear-cut foundation on
which you may bnild the sturdy
and enduring structure of thorough
education, embellished, beautifed
and enlarged with liberal culture.
All, my friends, what immeasurable
advantages you have in this ele-
mental training. How many of US
there are, with our knowledge Of
its Importance; with our experience
of its advantages, even when CLEAN
ed on the fields which had just been
torn by the horrors of revolution,
who would rejoice if we could take
back the years that are irrevocably
gone, and stand as you stand, with
your opportunities, past and future,
at the gate of the curriculum; with
your hardened and well-drilled IA
miliarity; with the principles of

Of the human stomach, can tell Aof
their properties. In one there rests
the pail Of eternity, the struggle
for breath, the failing of sight, the
panorama of years rushing in an In
slant through the mind, the silence
and peace of sleep forevermore, the
the cerements, the burial case, the
solemn eortege, and the close,
noisome atmosphere of the grave.
All these were contained in one Of
these little pellets. Delagrave,
having won the first choice, step

With a calmness which was frigid

cup of claret, handed him by the
Doctor washed it down.
"And now, Mr.. Riviere," said the
Doctor. Rivere extended his hand
and took a pill.
Like his opponent, he swallowed
it.
The two men stood looking one
another in the face. There was
not quiyer to the eyelid, not
twitch Of a muscle. Each was
thinking of himself as well as watch

Now said the Doctor, sMr.
Riviere, the remaining one is for
you. You will please swallow them
together"
The two men raised their hands
at the same time and desposited
the pills on their tongues and took a
draught Of claret.
One second passed and there
was no movement. Their aGooaz

starting from their sockets, half
round to the left, raised his hand
above his head and shrieked a long,
wild shrek that belated travellers
even to this day say they hear on
the shell road near the island.
He fell prone to the earth, and,
save a nervous contraction of the
muscles ofthe face, there was no
movement.
Delagraye took him by the hand
as he lay on the damp grass and
said in a tender voice: 81 regret it,
but it was to be-"
The funeral was one Of the
largest ever seen in New Orleans,
and for weeks the cafes were agog

beautiful widow, Mortified at the

afterward, and is now happy

having married wealthy planter

that the supply is generally regu'

don't neglect your studies for the

There is no telling the benef-
cent influence on the young of
Georgia bestowed by the good girls
of our college towns. There are
matrons perhaps in this audience
to-night-very young matrons-
who have done more to inspire the
collegians of post bellum times
with noble aspirations than all other
causes put together. They are the
people who saved the State.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
I trust you will pardon me for this
long talk. 1 am sure the graduating
class of 1883 Of the Boys High
School will confer honor on Atlanta
and Georgia, as they have done
on themselves and their teachers
tonight. They may not all win
honors. Some will be defeated.
It is inevitable, and it is not a
very bad thing for a young fellow
who does his best to be defeated
some times. Great applause

phrase, as "Uncle Remus" says

Laughter and applause.
We send you forth not with
doubt but with confidence. Be
true to your parentage, to your
home, to your names, and above
all
s"To thine own selfb true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
Prolonged applause.
I congratulate you on your ex'
cellence. I congratulate the board
of education on the magnificent
work they are doing. I congratu'
late you on your speeches tonight,
and especially on that spirit Of pa
triotism wherein they breathe q love
for our whole country, and for the
whole more than for part. These
are sentiments worthy of the youth
of Georgia.

They execute criminals in Germany
precisely as turkeys are prepared for the
Thanksgiving festival in this country.
We find this description in an exchange,
oprop0s of the execution of the murderer
SObbe, at Berlin, on the 18th inst: The
executioner's name is Krauts, "a mild
faced old fellow, with soft, gentle voice
and white hands," and on these occa-
sions he usually smokes cigarette. He
has four assistants, a quartette of "cruel,
hard-looking men, whose duty is to
strip the victim" When he has been
stripped to the undershirt, the collar of
which is cut down to the level of his
shoulders, his feet pinioned, and his
hands tied behind him, he is led out
and his head placed upon the block. In
the meantime Krauts, the executioner,
stands among the few spectators of the
scene quietly putting his cigarette and
without anything in his demeanor in
dicatiye of his Office. When the plat
form is reached he throws aside his Gig
arctic, ''grasps the axe in his white
sinewy hands, gives it a swing upward,
and strikes with force sufficient to de-
tach the head from the body instantly"
The remains are covered with black
cloth, and the witnesses, having signed
their names, are escorted out of the Jail
Not quite dignity enough about that
style of shutting off, we should say.

The editor of the Tilsburg, Ont, Lib
erdl was married last week. This week
he writes as follows: "Of all the joys
vouchsafed to man in life's tempestuous
whirl, there is nothing that approaches
so near heaven as company with,a girl
"a rosy, laughing, buxom girl; frank,
good natured, honest girl; a feeling, fir
ting, ,dashing, doting, smiling, smacking,
jolly, jaunty, joval, poserpoking, dear
little duck of a girl; the funniest, flush
lest, fairiest, roundest, ripest, rarest,
spicies, squirmiest, squarest, best ofgirls,
with dropping lashes, half-concealing
amorous flashes, with rosy cheeks and
clustering curls, the sweetest and the
best of girls" a. .r5s
We hope the poor, deluded fellow
will give his experience of married life
in just twelve months from the above
date. If he don't change his mind
in that time, then it cali safely be sci
down as fact that he has succeeded in
getting wife worthy of better man
than any editor that ever stole copy.

I The Washington Critic asserts that
the President pays SIS gallon for whis-
key for his own use, while he sets before
his guests whiskey ofan inferior, though
still excellent quality, which costs only
SIS gallon. The New York Sun, con-
sidering this to be very grave accusa-
ton, comes back with the following in
refutation: "This story is highly i'm
probable, for two reasons. In the first
place, President Arthur wouldn't play
such shabby trick on his friends as
not to share the best whiskey he had
with them; and in the second place, it
isn't likely that's person Ofsuch punctil-
lious regard for etiquette would setany
whiskey at all before them. Wine is
set before friends at dinner, but not
whiskey, without being formally set
before anybody, usually reposes on the
sideboard, where it is left at the individ-
ual disposal of the gnests." 1t is pleasant
to reflect that this horrible nightmare
has been so effectually dispelled.

p Ex-senator Dorsey, late. Secretary of
the Republican National Committee,
has written to General John A. Martin,
his successor, that there are no records
of past Presidential campaigns; that he
received none from the predecessor,
made none himself and has none to
transmit; that he received no money
and paid none out, and that the only
reminder he has of the campaign is a
used-up bank book, the stubs of which
show $13, 600 paid out by himself for his
personal expenses as Secretary. He re-
grets that he has, such reminder and
declares that he owes the Republican
National Committee neither money
nor thanks.
