eral, Commitments Them.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-General Sheri-
dan, speaking yesterday of the assertions
which have lately gained currency that the
celebrated Prussian General, Won Moltke,
some years ago expressed a contemptuous
opinion of the military ability of the Ameri-
can officers in the war of the rebellion, de-
clared that these stories were entirely with
out foundation. AS one evidence of this he
exhibited an autograph letter Of Von Moltke,
of which the following is literal transla-
ton:

much during war under such adverse circum-
stances as to awaken the wonder OF military men
this side OF the ocean, and to spur them on to
emulate them. Particularly will be appreciated a
welcome from your excellency, and in. that wish
permit myself to join in the expression, selZing
the same favorable opportunity to recall myself
to you with assurances of distinguished respect,

The Grand Jury of the December term

final report:
Onr duties commenced on the 18th day of
December, 1885, and from that day to the
present, January 30th, 1886, large number
of cases, under both the laws of the United
States and the laws of the Territory of

turned to the Court.
In pursuance Of the charge given US by

Keepers of houses of ill-fame, etc., and while
we find that several such places existed until

going to show that owing to the instructions
given by your Honor on this subject to this
and the preceding Grand Jury, persons SO
engaged have discontinued the offense or left
the city. Very respectfully,

ST. MARY's ACADEMY.
A Fine Programme of Closing Ex-
erciscs NIeritoriously Rendered

A large number of relatives and friends
of the pupils at st. Mary's Academy, and
not few OF the friends of the institution,
assembled yesterday afternoon in Acad-
emy Hall to be entertained by the closing
exercises of that very worthy school. The
custom of the Academy is TO give one OF
these pleasing entertainments at the close
of each semi-annual course, and those
who are at all familiar with these oc-
casons are aware that the purpose OF the
exercises is to afford an exhibition of the
musical and literary talent and ability of
the pupils as cultivated and developed in
their previous course OF study. Yester-
DAYS was perhaps the finest of these ex-
hibitions, and this was due to the rapidly
growing attendance, which furnishes a
wider field from which to make selec-
tons. The following programme. was
rendered in manner that must have
surprised even those who had partial
knowledge of what the young ladies were
capable of:

The exercises throughout were more
than interesting, and displayed the re-
suits of the magnificent discipline and
system which have already gained for
this institution the highest reputation
enjoyed by any of The leading schools OF
the country.
After the programme was finished the
Reverend Fathers delivered short adj
dresses expressive of their appreciation
of the exercises, and in earnestly advo-
eating the cause of education:
This closed the first term OF the fiscal
year, and Monday will begin the Sec
ond term for boarders, when doubtless n
great number will be added to the pres
ent roll OF pupils.
