were unable to gain admittance.
The graduates with the aid of
their friends had decorated the

tiful house plants and other flowers.
The programme as published in

cessfully carried out.
To speak in particular of the es-
says where all did so well is difficult.
Every member of the class showed
good acquaintance with the subject
chosen, and the thoughts were ex-
pressed clearly and concisely. Each
essay was also very distinctly read.
Vocal music consisting of solo,
duets, and choruses, by Mrs. Priest

greatly to the entertainment of the

There are many portraits of GEN. GRANT, as
there were of GEORGE WASHINGTON, but the por-
trait of Grant by Bogardus taken just after his
return from the trip around the world, when at
the zenith of his fame, i'll the prime of life and
in perfect health, is the only one that will be
known in the future. The portrait of Washing
ton by Stuart is the one known to the masses;
even children recognize it before they know the
alphabet. The portrait of OUR OLD COMMANDER,
as taken at the time we refer to- is the one that
will live in the minds of the people ofthe country
| he saved. Millions saw Gen. Grant at about the
| time this was taken. Even though Gen. Grant
shall happily be spared to his country for another
generation, he can never have portrait taken
that will fill the popular eyes and heart this
does, taken when at his best. Hence this will be
the portrait of history No steel engraving or oil
painting can compare as a likeness, with the
photograph-the mirror of the face.
No one can look at the portrait without dis
covering the signs of character that won battles
during the war, and Of late has driven death
from hfs door when all others quailed with fear.
