THK cup for which the yachting contest
oil New York city took place last week
was originally the property of the Royal
Yacht Squadron of Great Britain. In
May, 1851, at the time of the first Worlds
Fair in London, the cup, valued at 100
pounds. was offered as trophy open to
the yact ts Of all nations. In August Of
that year the American yacht America
distanced the whole English feet OF 10
boats in sailing round the Isle OF Wight,
and from that day to this "the Americas
cup" as the prize is called, Las remained
in this country. But our English cousins
have made no less than ten attempts to
win it back; but never yet have they been
able to send across boat fast enough to
beat their Yankee competitor. Whether
they will succeed this year remains to be
seen; but American yachtmen seem to be
strong in the faith that they will not.

Ed. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is
over, and we Normalites are free. We
had very interesting week OF it. The
exercises were all considered excellent
by all the critics; and those who took
part received many dattering compli-
ments from faculty. students and Wis
itors. Indeed, we felt, and many Wis
itors remarked that it was the most
successful weeks program the school
has ever rendered.
Examinations were over Saturday
at noon. In the afternoon, the litera-
nv societies held their closing sessions.
In the evening, came the Girls Essay
Contest in which seven essays, all on
one subject-The Home Life of Liber-
ty Men-were read. The prize. a
handsome gold medal of ten dollars
value, was awarded to Miss Octayia
Wellencamp. The baccalaureate SER
mon was preached by Rev. d.. Thomas
of St. Louis. Sunday. DR.. Thomas
looks like an orator, and he did not
deceive his looks. He spoke pointedly
and in plain easy terms that everybody
could understand. One of the most at
tractive features of the week was the
Oratorical Contest on Monday night.
All the boys had their orations we'll
prepared and acquitted themselves
with high honors. S. Nj. Wood got
the medal again, but CuretOn and Simp-
son were close after him, Curetop re-
ceiving one vote on the first ballot and
being placed first in delivery by two
of the five judges. The points to be
considered in the decision were
thought. style, and delivery. Tuesday
at ten A. NJ. twenty-nin C's received
their certificates. Superintendent Kirk
presented the certificates, then gave
the class and school a very able address
of half an hour. Mr.. Kirk is an able
speaker, and took the school by storm.
Tuesday night the Commencement Ora
tor, "Uncle Dick" alias Prof. G. K.
Norton, appeared upon rostrom after
an absence of two years. and was
greeted by loud and long applauses
from a vast concourse of his many de-
voted friends. Following his address,
at ten o'clock. was the annual Alumni
BANQUET. This was the most EN- oyable
occasion of the week. The supper was
good, and the toasts and addresses ap-
propriate and full of interest. The
guests were teachers, alumni, and
members of the ga" class with their
sweethearts and friends. The pres
ence of our ex-president r. G. Norton
added greatly to the enjoyment OF all.
Wednesday forenoon. after the rendi-
| ton OF two essays and three orations
/ by class representatives, nine diplomas
were presented to as many graduates
| by Prof McGhee. The class took din
| ner with Prof. Vandiver. The week
| closed Wednesday evening with the
Alumni address, followed by the an.
nual reunion. After two hours oil
promenading and social conversation,
and when the evening was drawing
rapidly toward midnight, good-byes
began to be said, and the crowd gradu.
ally diminished and finally disappeared
as the clock struck twelve.
| We hope to have good commence
ment ia 1895. and we cordially invite
| our many friends to come back and
| help us enjoy it. Adieu!

The Tent Meetings.

|
The meetings at the tent are still in
creasing in interest. 1t has beer
shown during the past week that the
Law of God. (the ten commandments,
are the basis of Gods moral govern
ment and are as unchangable as Goo
himself. This is the law that Jesus
came to magnify and establish, and Of
which he said, ut is easier for HEAVIER
and earth to pass, than one little OF the
law to fail" Luke. 1917.
This law brings to view the Sabbath
and commands that it be kept holy,
God himself having first made it holy.
Now we would not be willingly igno-
rant as to the Sabbath, for James says,
'.Whosever shall keep the whole law.
and yet offend in one point. he is gull
ty of ALL" JAS, 2:10.
We observe that most people at the
present time are keeping the First day
of the week, just as we once did our
selves, while the law says 1.-The sew
enth day is the Sabbath"
Now, we desire to treat every body
with courtesy. but also desiring to be
right on this question, as also on all
others. we wish to PROFOUND the fol-
lowing question for the careful consid-
GRAFTON of all.
1st. Where is the text that teaches
that the FIRST day of the week is, or has
been, or ever will be the Sabbath in
any age of the world?
I'd. Where is the text that teaches
that the first day of the week should
be called Lords day?
Sd. Where is the text that shows
that GOD ever blessed, sanctified, and
made holy the first day of the week?
4th. Where is the text that author
ICES us to try to keep a day holy that
God never made holy above the other
working days?
9th. Where is the text in which
Christ eyer commanded us to keep the
first day of the week?
9th. Where is the text in which
any Apostle ever commanded US to
keep the first day as the Sabbath?
7th. Where is the text that shows
that Christ or the Apostles ever kept
the first day of the week as the Sab
bath?
If any one will give US the text that
answers any of the above questions We
will be glad to read it to our congrega-
ton at the tent.
Meetings will continue during the
coming week. Among other impor-
tant bible themes the past and future
of our own country will be considered
in the light of prophecy. We extend
an invitation to the people to ask
questions in writing on bible themes,
which we will answer by reference to
the scriptures, Or plainly say we don't
know. A. P.HEACOCK.

From Burgundy.

Ed. Register-Why not allow little
budget of dry news to be seen in the
columns of your valuable paper this
week, as the farmers would like to
know how we are suffering for the
want of rain in the West End, when
we tell the truthful story that we have
n ot had any rain since Easter Sunday.
So you may know that few dewdrops
falling from the space above would be
a grand sight to behold. The grass is
given up as a total failure; oats about
the same; wheat will show a small
head without grain. Gardens with
cred and dead. The creeks have ceas
ed to force the water over the shoals,
so, by the way, we are having a con-
tinued drouth in Western Iron county.
And now we have only one hope for
life in this divine world, and that is
the corn crop-and the prospect is
gloomy at present. One more weeks
dry and hot weather will tell the sad
story, and then it will be aa it was 10
olden times. "Give ms three grains
OF corn. mother; only three grains of
corn, ere l die, mother!" ROwDY.
