A Speech IN GERMAN.
Miss Mary L. Brady was the saluta-
torian, and her address was rather a
novelty. She spoke in German In
the white class it is rarely that a pupit
not OF German parentage undertakes a
German performance, and it was there
fore more creditable TO Miss Brady and
to the teaching of the German language
in the schools that her accent was good
and her pronunciation correct through
out. The composition was written well
in good German.
Bella ]. Strange read clearly and dis
tinctly well written and thoughtful
essay, her title being, liking Qualities. !"
Her style is graceful and correct and
the paper was full of good thoughts.
"The Marble Waiteth" was the theme
OF highly creditable essay by Miss
Bessie Z. Lee, the first honor girl OF
the class. On tho story Of the sculptor
who saw in rough block the form of
an angel, she based lesson for all Her
essay showed not only some familiarity
with history, but an ability to draw the
lesson from the event that would be
creditable to an older person. She
closed with an apt poetical quotation.
Rev. ]. Il. Artope has a strong. fine
bass voice, under good control, and his
solo was much enjoyed by all. He is the
pastor OF the A. NJ. Z. church, and is q
recent graduate of Yale College, having
graduated at Wilberforce before he
went to Yale.
Daisy R. Newly thought that '4n
life nearly everything that is done is
overdone." Her essay was bright and
entertaining. She took occasion to
refer to the frequent killing OF colored
men in the south on the slightest pra.
text, or no pretext, and, sarcastically,
to tho "tin-horn and red fire campaign

AN IULoGY OF LINCOLN.
Scott Taylor's appearance to deliver
his Grafton was the signal for an out
burst of applause. His language was
really fine, and his delivery loud and
plain. He reviewed the great names Of
the past ages, and finally came toWash-
ington and Lincoln, whose names were
applauded. He asked, which was the
greater? and he answered that Lincoln
was the noblest American, living or
dead. He paid an eloquent tribute to
the great emancipation, saying it was
the crowning glory OF his career that he
said TO the millions OF slaves, go
free"
Scott was loudly applauded at tho
conclusion of his address, and received
beautiful big bouquet.
The trio was very well sung by three
little misses, Miss Anna Lewis accom-
panying them on the piano. us she did
the other vocal numbers.
Miss Brady gave very good idea OF

at the worlds fairs OF the past, from the
Crystal Palace OF 1851 down. Her ideas

Prof. Jones presented tho class prizes,
and made speech, and to those who
know him it is needless to say that it
was a good speech-earnest eloquent
and pertinent, as his speeches usually
are.
The closing chorus was as fine as the
opening one. There have been opera

could not sing chorus as well as Lin
