A YOUNG ORATOR.

Tho faithful student has reason to be proud
Of his degree "a. NJ" and "a. B." and all
tho other honorable authorizations represent
application, energy, industry and ability.
They arc most respectable introductions to
the world, acquisitions to be proud Of
throughout life.
Nor is the ''sweet girl graduate" always
without her literary degrees. The days
when she was content with few alleged
Accomplishments" have vanished. Talk
about "higher education" has caught her ear.
Shc has pounded on the doors OF the greatest
and best institutions Of learning until more
than one of them have been forced to open
and let her in on equal terms with her broth
ers. Colleges for her aud her sisters only
havc been founded whose curriculum COM
mands the respect of the most scholarly. She
now comes forth, not only sweet, but
learned girl graduate In classic authors she
can acquit herself as creditably as graduates
of the more robust sex. In Greek she can
hold her own with them in Xenophon, Thu
cydides and Homer. In Latin sho is at home
with Livy, Horace, Virgil, Ovid and Cicero
In mathematics her scientific knowledge is
frequently extended to embrace the differen-
tial aud integral calculus, and she is behind
no one in astronomy and chemistry.
These be not dourishing days for the
female seminaries which send forth cata-
logues largely devoted to interesting facts in
regard to the ''fne bathing" !" ''the carriages
and saddle horses furnished at moderate
charge" and ''the class rooms and dormitories
which look out on extremely romantic seen
cry" These allurements, formerly so potent,
fail to allure The young girl Of the period
wants learning Of as good brand as can be
obtained by the sex to which she does not
belong. Classic languages and the sciences
arc more to her than carriages and saddle
horses She intends to win spurs on the sanso
field of fiction as her brothers She will be
found later on ct the bar, beside the operat-
ing table of tho surgeon, in the pulpit, in
literature and in commerce. Wisely has she
chosen to equip herself for the race with the
Same armor and weapons.
In no country ere educational facilities
better thaa this. Wo have over COO institu-
tions of learning, and more than 100 female
universities and colleges alone. And in no
country is there wider field for displaying
the power of education that this. It has
been said that we have more sham colleges

and Is said to attain its highest utility and
exercise the greatest influence in republics.
1t is also truly said that republics produce
the greatest orators Tho spirit Of oratorv
is closely related to the spirit Of freedom.
The oratory OF commencementsh has always
moro of Athens and Rome in it than the
speakers arc likely to ever again introduce
into their speeches. But wo must remember
that they are just emerging from several
years close companionship with the
ancients. They are only now beginning life
in this modern world.
They are still quite ready to fight for
the accuracy Of ''mathematical demon
stration," Notwithstanding the fact
that in the works Of Euclid there are
several propositions given as demonstrated,
the truth Of which is denied by tho most
eminent geometricians of modern times, in
cluding Sir Isaac Newton, Des Cartes, Greg
ory and Barrow.
Come forth from tho temple of learning
armed with Greek and Latin as he may, the
graduate will como in contact with much
that will make him feel tho insignificance of
all mortal requirements Perhaps COM
mencement will bring to hand some of the
conceited creatures who attend such places
for tbs purpose of making display of their
erudition, and who interrupt whole classes
by queries in regard to quantity or versiflca-
tion, which might have puzzled Aristophanes
or Juvenal. These people who think they
know SO much have yet to learn that no one
knows at the present day how either Greeks
or Romans scanned their verse, and that the
most eminent modern scholars con only fur
ntsh us with conjectures as to Greek and
Latin quantity.
But at last, when the trials and glories of
commencement are over, and the graduates,
male and female, have put aside their diplo-
mas and flowers, and begun tho difficult
business Of life, they will look back to COM
mencemept as the traveller looks back to his
native land. Then, indeed, will have begun
tho real voyage Of life To all now embark
ing from that honored shore wo say, "Bon
voyage"

Of Columbia, soon after which all his youth
full prospects were broken up by the war As
soon as his age would admit he entered tho
Confederate army, and after preliminary
service west of the river he was made aide
de-camp of Gen. Beale, and with that officer
was captured at Port Hudson, July 6, 1865.
This practically ended his military service.
Since the war he has studied and engaged
in the practice of law. For four years he
was state senator, and in 1877 Governor
Nichols appointed him advocate justice OF
