MUSIC AT wHTTwoRTH.
A Rare Entertainment By the Faculty Of

Il
the Conservatory.
On last Saturday evening there was
given at the College Institute, amusicale,
by the faculty of the Conservatory Of
Music. The public had been invited, the
majority Of our cultivated community re-
spending; and to the obliging President
they will ever be indebted for an evening,
which was one long dream of delight.
Spanish Dances, Nos. 1 and g" upon
two pianofortes, by Misses Kellogg and
Roberts, at once concentrated all
thought upon the art divine and awak-
ened highest anticipations of the classic
creations that were to follow. Mr.. 1. +.
McKernan sung as the writer had nevr
heard him before, and delighted his au-
dience as he always does with his choice
selections from the greatest masters down
to some homely little "waif" like Bonnie o.
Dundee. In the duet from I'll Trovatore,'
which he sang with Mrs. Murrah, hi
voice showed to fine advantage and the
audience seemed entranced, as in ripples Of
sweetest melody, these two gifted 1Bgers
sung as the birds do-because they could
not help it. Mrs. Murrah rendered ex-
quisitely "Guinevere" by Sullivan and the
taking "Love me-" by Chopin. Mrs.
Willoughby, whose voice has long been
admired by the people of Brookhaven,
lost none of her reputation as sweet
singer on this occasion, while Miss Dove
and Miss Russell delighted the audience,
respectively with vocal solo and selec-
tions upon the violin.
Much regret was expressed at the una
voidable absence of Miss Stone, the ac-
complished instructor in Elocution. One |
of her pupils, Miss Alice Fitzhugh, finely
rendered "Sent back by the angels" and
bespoke warmest praise both for herself
and teacher.
This occasion witnessed the debut, in |
Brookhaven, of Miss Kellogg, graduate
of the Boston Conservatory of Music, who
has lately been added to the Conservatory, |
and it amounted to an ovation. Her exc
cution upon the piano is superb and she
impresses her audience that she is at once
rarely talented and confident of the skill
she has attained. Miss Kellogg has all
the gifts that 60 to make up the highest
type of musician and the college is TO be
congratulated upon such an acquisition to !
its already gifted faculty.
The evenings program was almost
doubled by the enthusiastic encores; and
to say that the appreciative audience did
not enjoy this evening of choicest de-
lights would be to assert that the spirits
of the departed live no longer 10 the |
beautiful 'soul children" they have left
behind, to remind us that Chopin, a |
Liszt or a Mozart once trod the ways of
this work day world.
Now, without fear of contradiction, we
want to say that not another college in
the South SO favors the community in
which it lives as does Whitworth College.
Pres. Fitzhugh shows zeal, a pride, an
obliging aud generous spirit that few men,
if any, in such position have shown.
In closing this, We would invite visitors
from adjoining towns to come and see fer
themselves "the half that hasn't been
told"

pIammotb Birds and Renti1es.

Ages ago there were bird reptiles and
reptilian birds. Some had wings for flying
with a spread of twenty-five feet-veritable
dragons in fact. Others, forty feet in
length, had paddles for swimming like
whales These latter lived in the seas,
though occasionally they came on shore.
1t is known from their petrified droppings,
which are plentifully found to-day, that
they lived upon fish. One species dived to
great depths in the ocean and was most
rapacious and predatory. 1t had enormous
eyes to seewith in deep water, its head re-
sembling an alligator's. Another kind
with very long neck inhabited the shoals
and preyed upon the fishes of the shadows.
The first serpents too belonged in the
sea, and grew to be forty feet long They
had no poison, but were constructors, like
the boa. There were many kinds of croco
dles fifty feet from snout to tail, whereas
the biggest ones now are not more than
fifteen feet. During the same period lived
the birds with teeth which were only dis
covered a few years ago. Biggest of these
was the hesperornis, which stood six feet
high and had only rudimentary wings
1t did not fly, therefore, but was simply a
swimmer and diver. subsisting on fish.
The ichthyornis was somewhat similar in
appearance and habits, but not much larg
er than pigeon.
1t is supposed that these strange water
fowl were wiped out by the giant swim
ming lizards, eighty feet long, and clad in
bony armor plates, which resembled the
modern conception of the sea serpent The
turtles should not be forgotten, which at
tanned length of twenty feet and meas
ured seven feet in height-Rene Bache in

An Acrobatic Pig.

Pigs are not supposed to have much
sense, bu. Mr.. G. Fl. Currier, of Abbott,
Me-, has one that knows thing or two
The infant porcine is fond of taking bath
in the river, to which his owner objects,
and every time he got out of his pen Mr..
Currier would board it up little higher.
That did not stop piggy, however, and Mr.
c. watched to see how he got out 1t ap-
peared that the boards were nailed on two
or three inches apart, and the pig would
climb to the top by putting his toes in the
cracks, and, there being rope suspended
over the outside, he would catch it in his
mouth and lower himself to the ground

Hair Turned White from Excitement.

young Frenchwoman, Nine. Godin, who,
descending the Amazon in an open boat

be wrecked. She saw her companions
perish one by one, and was left alone in

and labors at last reached a settlement,
her hair having turned white.-New York

WHAT FIRST TO DO.

It's no use to grumble and sigh,
It's no use to worry and fret.
1t is useless to groan or to cry,
Or fling yourself down in a pet,
You'll never be wise or be great
II you buster like bees when they sws.rm
rTis folly your woes to berate,
And pitch like a ship in storm.
Do1's get in n tantruIn and shout
When obstacles rise in your path,
And don't-let me beg of you-pout,
By way of displaying your wrath;
Don't butt out Your brains jus%so spite
Some fancied injustice of fate,
For time will set everything right
II you only have patience to wait.
The clustering wind cannot chill
The lake, though he ruffles its face;
But the frost, with its presence SO still,
Locks it fast in a silent embrace.
So you may win fame beyond price,
And conquer the world with its pef,
If you only will heed this advice,
And first learn to conquer yourself
