The class that recently graduated from our
public schools, numbered thirteen. number
unlueky by many believed. The class Oh nine
wears ago had the same. and in few weeks
after graduation one of the ablest OF TINS CLASS
lost his life while bathing in the Mahonlng
river. What the mystic thirteen had to 90
with this sad event we are not able as yet 10
solve. but the wise ones who are skilled In tnls
mysterious lore, have forlornly shaken their
heads and await with anxious anticipation OF
something dread full to happen to this class Oh
,9s. The orations of the graduates were fairly,
not unusually good and SO fine but what those
who listened attentiyely would be Wiling TO
say Zach and all were original. Inls Is
something which is too frequently lost sight Oh
by the young graduate in the anxiety to make
a good impression. A few years ago one poio-
ly took fully shalt OF his address from
Josiah Strong's Our Country" lie was
nublicly exposed as he should have been, and
we have the b9st of reason of believing that ne
is not the only offender in that line since snat
lime What we now shall say will not please
the lady members of this class. yet we run the
risk of decapitation, and seriously remark
that in point of thought, and an evidence Oh
earnest hard study, the orations OF the gente-
men, were noticeably superior to tnose given
by the ladies; probably the minds OF the tor-
mer were not half distracted about tnelr
graduation dress. Is would be glorious Gay
for the sweet girl graduate if the school
boards OF onr land would require each anu al
of them to appear in reeulation outns' Une
cost of which would not exceed hVe oollars'
= few wears ago it was the custom to literally
cover the graduate on her exit from the stage
with flowers and then to make public exhibit
mi
relatives and friends. Had this been so be-
cause OF extraordinary ability shown by the
graduates. it might have continued some long
er. but as it was only exhibition of the a.
mount of cash that the graduates parents and
friends we're willing to invest for such an occa-
sion. it was wisely discontinued, and we trust
that the time will soon come when the fasnlon
of advertiseing ones favorite dressmaker at
public az well as private expense will also be
only known as things that once were but are
now no more
We are aware that we have given but
little Carr ettsvile news as there is but little to
give.

To us it seems extremely weak for set of
men, or a man of ordinary ability to attempt
to assign the cause of the financial troubles of
the country to the present administration.
With no change in single law that would
affect in slightest degree our fnancies. it is
moAstrous silly and cowardly to make that
assertion. The American people are not as
vet set of damed fools as they would be were
they to swallow such contemplate hash.
