The Washington Republican says
that, although protesting 10 be pro-
tectionis,, Mr. RANDALL is more
dangerous enemy to the Republican
party than either CARLISLE or MoRRI-
SON, or even the entire free.traie con-
tingent." Aud yet there are Demo-
cratic papers which do not hesitate to
denounce him as q Republican in dis
guiss--pspers, too, published in that
South which owes so much TO hin.
But for his Herculesn lAbors in the
House ofRepresentstiyes, the force bill
would have become q law, and the
liberties Of the southern people q thing
OF the past.

Extended inquiry among the merchants
of this city demonstrates the fact that
there is II noticeable improvement in
trade and some say that they are doing
more business this year than they did dur
ing the same period last season. Others
claim that the volume of their trade this
season fully equals that of last year for
the same number of months. The feeling
is general that the season Will prove
much better than was indicated by the
outlook at the opening, and the tone OF
trade is on the whole quite hopeful.
The closing exercises of st. Mary's
parOchial school and the young ladies'
academy on Mansfield avenue were held
in st. Mary's hall last Friday. Large
numbers of friends of the scholars, taxing
the hall to its utmost capacity, were pres
eut. The exercises consisted of recita-
tons, muse, speaking and several mirth-
provoking farces. The attention of the
audience was well held to the close of the
somewhat long programme. and the per
fOrmances of the pupils reflected much
credit on their instructors. Many speci-
mems Of skill in drawing, painting and ar
tisiic handwork were also ON exhibition.
The annual closing exercises of Mrs
Bard's school were held at the hall in the
Howard Opera House, Friday morning.
\ large attendance of friends of the school
was present. \ very attractive and in
teresting programme had been prepared,
and the pupils acquitted themselves in
the most creditable manner. The pro-
gramme was long one, in two parts, and
included recitatiOns and declarations by
the younger pupils compositions and ora
tons by the older ones a very pretty can
tata, the Quarrel Among the Flowers, -
and singing and calisthencs. There were
over 90 of the young speakers, and all did
so nicely that individual mention which
did not include all, would be out of place
The calisthenic exercise was very prettIly
done, and the programme throughout
showed careful training on the part of
the instructors, and gratifying attainment
III pupils so young. Among the recita-
tions was one entirely i'll French APP
plause was literally paid the little speak
ers, and floral tributes poured in upon
them in such profusion that each child
was laden down with baskets and bOu-
quets. The exhibition was very pleas
ant one, and was greatly enjoyed by all
present
