inviting such distinguished men as
Bishop Galloway TO preach the
Commencement Sermon, and Sena-
tor II. d. Money to make the Bac-
caiaureate address. The Bishops
sermon was replete in urging chris

who heard him doubtless felt that
they would like TO live better lives,
and dying hoped 10 leave behind
them the impress Of a well-spent
life.
The speech Of Senator Money,
on Tuesday morning, was listened
to by a large audience, who seemed
TO think he did not utter a word
but which was true and practical,
and so plainly uttered that the girls
OF the school could clearly under
stand and literally apply. He paid
a beautiful tribute to woman in her
proper sphere-tliat Of teachers,
s~weethearts, wives and mothers
and won the admiration Of the wo-
men &c such an extent that they
went again to hear him in his po-
~lltical speech at the Masonic Hall.
