Graduations at the Williamson Female
College.

Graduations at the Williamson Female
College.
Mr.. EDITOR: On Friday afternoon, the
7th inst, at the regular time for closing the
exercises for the day, DR.. Lander, President
of the Williamson Female College, an
nounced that two young ladies' Misses AL
exander and Prince, had completed the
course of study required for graduation,
and that he felt peculiar pleasure in pro-
nouncing them alumn,e of the institution.
This simple announcement, with few
other pertinent rem arks, and an appropriate
talk from the Rev. William Hutto, who
happened to be present, was the only dis
tinguishing feature of this Commencement
occasion.
We were debarrcd the pleasure Of visit
ing the College Chapel Friday afternoon,
and consequently missed hearing the re-
marks of Dr.. Lander and Mr.. Hutto. We
are informed, however, that the Doctor
very tenderly reminded the two graduates
that they were about to step out into great
world of which they knew comparatively
nothing That to graduate-to get Collie
giate education-was one thing; to use that
education Alright was another. That their
education must be used if they would keep
it or be benefited by it. That the William
ston Female College sends these young
ladies out with her seal upon them, and is
proud of them, but regrets to lose the daily
influence of their studious habits and per-
feet department.
Rev. VIM. Hutto made few remarks of
congratulation and encouragement to the
young ladies, and reminded them of the
positive demands of the future upon them
as educated young women.
These unostentatious exercises, brought
down to such fine point by DR.. Lander,
might occur, as all VIII o are acquainted with
the workings of the institution know, at
the end of every section Of five weeks.
Every thing is managed so quietly and sys
tematically, and SO little fuss is made about
the matter of graduation, that outsiders
would know nothing about it but for the
town girls or day scholars incidentally mer-
tioning to their parents and friends the
possibility Of such an event. Indeed, so
thorough is the instruction and so rigid
and complete the system Of marking that
the candidate for graduation herself does
not know until the last bell is rung in the
afternoon whether she has been successful.

The University Boarding House In Ashes.
Last Sunday morning the large and
commodious brick building, known as
the University Boarding House, on Main
street, was entirely consumed by fire.
The alarm was given about 10 o'clock.
When first discovered a blaze was pro-
truding through window of the North
west corner room on the third floor. 1t
is supposed that the fire had been burn
ing some fifteen or twenty minutes be-
fore it was discovered, and by the time
the alarm was heard throughout the city
and before many persons reached the
scene, it was conceded to be useless to at
tempt to save the buildiag, as it would
be impossible to get sufficient water to
the third story. Everybody, upon arriv-
ing at the building, went Immediately to
work saving the furniture. All the fur
niture on the first floor and the greater
portion on the second was saved.
Since the 1st of January the building
had been occupied by Prof: H. 6. Reed
as boarding house for the cadets of the
Anderson Military School. 1t is not
known how the fire originated, as all the
cadets were away at the time in attend
ance upon Sunday School. The rules re-
quired every cadet to carefully pu. out
his fire upon leaving his room, and twas
the duty of the officer of the day to visit
each room after the cadets left to see that
this rule had been complied with. This
was done by Cadet Dunlap on Sunday
morning after the cadets had gone away,
and he found everything all right. 1t is
believed the fire originated in the roof or
ceiling.
Prof. Reeds loss amounts to between
two and three hundred dollars. The ca
dets who roomed on the third floor lost
all their wearing apparel and effects.
AS usual, our citizens, both white and
colored, worked like trojans in saving
what they could from the flames. We
would mention, particularly, Ad. john
son, colored, for the valuable assistance
rendered and his daring bravery. After
the building had been pronounced un-
safe and ingress prevented by the stair
way, he entered the second story by a
ladder and saved the contents of two
rooms. For this act Of heroism he was
rewarded with a purse of FIVE or six dol
lars, contributed by citizens on the spot.
The building was erected as boarding
house for the johnson Female Univer-
sity in 1858, and contained twenty-seven
rooms. It's original cost was about
S8, 900. Several years since it, together
! with the University building and
grounds adjacent, was purchased by a
Joint stock company. composed of citi-
zens of Anderson, known as the "Ander-
son Educational Association" The
building was insured for $2,50O. The
loss. therefore, is considerable. a meet
ing of the Stockholders of the Associa'
tion is called for tomorrow (Frlday.
morning, and it is hoped that steps will
be Immediately taken 10 rebuild a com
modious boarding house, as the demanos
of the School require it.
| Prof. Reed has moved into the seconc
story of the University building, where
he can accommodate all his boarders fol
the present.

ar in the South, the presentation of diplo-

lar in the South, the presentation OF diplo-
mas is inscparable from theic ideas of grad
uating. Here it is different. The final en-
animation is not held, as at other institu-
tions of learning, several days or perhaps
weeks before tie time appointed for Conf
mencement, but on graduation day. The
consequence is there is no time for the
preparation of diploma. The President
announces that diploma or the College
badge pin whichever the young lady may
elect, will be sent to her parents as soon as
prepared.
Miss Lizzie Alexander, leaving behind
her very enviab lie College record, takes
back to her home in North Carolina the
very tenderest regards OF her instructors
and companions and best wishes of her
friends in Williamson.
Miss Lila G. Prince, the daughter of our
townsman, Mr.. w. L. Prince, leaving
record none the less envable, takes to her
parents the hearty well done" Of her in
structors, to gladden. their hearts in the
afternoon of their lives.
The writer, having previously had ample
opportunity for studying the character and
ability of these two young ladies, will be
pardoned for saying that the Williamson
Female College sends out two fine speci-
mems of the cultivated Southern lady-two
capable of appreciating the fact that with
them real life has just begun, that only the
foundation for an education is laid, and
that the superstructure depends entirely
upon their own efforts. kNILc.

in number, came up on the Blue Ridge
Railroad from Anderson on Monday night.
Nearly half of them were refused tickets
by the emigrant agent who met them at
this point, as they were single persons, and
his instructions allowed him to furnish
passage only to families. Our reporter
state, that there was lively courting done at
the depot on Tuesday, and one or two mar

4nccdote of Bishop Simpson.

A Methodist of Pittsburg relates, in the
Dispach of that city, that when he was young
man, just having entered the ministry, he
lodged with Bishop Simpson in Ohio one
night, and the next morning they boarded a
train at an early hour to attend the dedicca-
ton of a church at GAINESVILLE, where the
Bishop was to preach. The conductor of
the train recognized the Bishop, and during
a conversation which followed, the conductor
informed him that he had withdrawn him
self and family from the Methodist Church
on account of the auti-slavery preaching he
heard there. For an hour, in kindly man
ner, the Bishop reasoned with the conductor,
and was strongly impregnated with the pro-
slavery sentiment Three years afterward
the war broke out, and the conductor became
the colonel of the first colored regiment ever
raised for the defence of the Union. On
the same occasion, after the Bishop had
preached, he remarked TO the minister who
had come with him: "There's young man
in this congregation named McCabe, who is
fine singer, and I've notion TO call him
out" and shortly afterward he invited the
the young man to come forward and favor
the audience with an appropriate song, which
he did; and this was, perhaps the first official
recognition of the now famous Chaplain Me-
Cabe.

read beautiful and touching tribute to the
character and virtues of the martyred presi-
dent. Around him were seated men high in
the English church, and men of the world
wide reputation as statesmen, philanthropists,
and scientists The best of the English So
ciety was there. In the audience which
filled the great hall to the doors were Ameri-
can travellers and English people of all ranks
in life crowding together to testify the sym
pathy one country felt for the other in its
heavy affiicfion.
Mr.. Lowell was evidently moved by the
scene and the old bishop who sat near him,
intently listening to his words, showed by
his countenance how much IL affected him
when Mr.. Lowell concluded. Applause was
showered upon his beautifully expressed SEN
timents, but the audience seemed to want
something more spontaneous and more di-
rectly addressed to their sympathies. Some
body called for the bishop, and he came, will
ling apparently, to the front of the platform.
He spoke to the audience simply and plainly,
putting himself at once by his eloquent
words, in the attitude of one, who with them
selves, had suffered personal loss in Garfield's
death. His English hearers were given per-
sonal part in it, too, by his touching allusion
to Queen Victorias kindly messages and
thoughtful words of coincidence. "God bless
the queen in her womanly sympathy and
queenly courtesy said he so fervently that
he appeared as a man of God calling down
blessing, anG the audience joined with him
in a heartfelt "amen." At the end of the
address the entire audience rose to their feet
and cheered to the echo the words and the
speaker PHILADELPHIA Press
