yhe Commencement at Due West
Pursuant to notice,, the Annual
riftmmoiinompntQ nf thft Mais and
VViUAMWUW^VM ?v v9 ? _
Female Colleges at Due West,
came off oil Wednesdayand Thursday
last. As usual wo had' the
pleasure of attending, and 'can
bear willing testimony to the success
of the performances, and the
unabated iuterest and gratification
with which they were witnessed by
the large crowd in attendance.
The attendance, we suppose, was
fully as large as usual, and the performances
fully up to the usual
standard. To say this?is to award
no common compliment, either to
tho interest of the" occasion, or the
success of these flourishing institutions.
To swell the crowd, and to pro
vi(Jc for its accommodation when
present, moro than ordinary preparations
had been made. The
Greenville & Columbia Railroad
with its accustomed liberality had
granted return tickets for one fare
to all visitors, and as a consequence
brought a bright array from this and
the adjoining Districts; these were
conveyed in hacks to the village
of Due West, where the ho-J
tels of Messrs. Hawthorn," Mays'
fii^d J*ratt were filled to overflowing.
In addition, private vehicle*
brought many from far and near,
an$ private hospitality was tat\cd
to its utmost capacity. But as
usual, Due West was equal to all
demands made upon her, ancL entertained
most liberally.
We havo attempted bcforo to account
in a measure, for tbo unabated
interest with which these Commencements'arc
hailed, in tho union of the
two celebrations, Male and Female, a?
the 6ame time, with tho ordeal of pub
liQ examinations before the samo committee,
and public exercises witnossed
by the same expectant throng of relatives
and friends. "Whatever differonce
of opinion there may be as to
the propriety of uniting the 6exes in.
the same school or colloge, we think
there can be none as to the increased
emulation which is excited by public
contests in the presence of each other.
As too the audience is larger and
jnore variod, a greater interest is
p,wakened both in perform'ors and
spectators, and the efforts raado arc
oommensnrate with the anticipations
formed. Whatever be the reason,
j the Commencements at Due West
*waken an interest and are rowarded
with asoccess, which are equalled by
few institutions of the land. .
In the death of President Grier, the
aloqnent divine and able administrative
officer, Erskine Colloge has suffered
the the loss of one whom it
could ill spare, but wo have no doubt
that the Church can furnish a successor
worthy to bear his mautle and
to sustain the character and prosViot?

It is well represented now by each
able and saccossful instructors as Professors
Pressly, Young, Eood and
J^owry, with Captain Cochran of tho
Preparatory Department.
In the Female College, President
Bonner,"with his accustomed energy
and toot, assisted by a corps of
accomplished teachers, well sustains
its past reputation. An admirable
disciplinarian, ho tempers
the severity of the law with the
kindness and aftectron of the parent,
and secures as well the love
aud respect of his pupils. He
finds earnest co-laborers in Prof.
Kennedy, and Misses McQuerns.
Jforee, Nixon and Galloway, and
under their successful management
the College is each yearpreseutiug
8?w claims to tne public patronage,
which it has already so largely
enjoyed.
The Examinations in the two
Colleges commenced on Friday,
the 7th inst., and closed on the following
Tuesday. They were cach
conducted in the presence of a
joint Committee, and in the presence
of the other College. We

they were entirely satisfactory, and
highly creditable to all* concerned.
Tuesday evening, at candloJigU&Ogt
wituessed the op'ening
.C0?he Commencement of
Erskine College, and some eiglit
members of the graduating class
discoursed on themes appropriate
to the occasion. Where all acquitted
themselves well it, is per
* - - 1 _ ?
haps inviiiuous to particularize, out
we caijnot refrain mention of the
opening and closing speeches by
Messrs. Blake and Miller respectively,
or a word of commenidatiou
both a9 to the matter and
manner of the humorous effort of
Mr. Hunter.
The following was the programme
of exercises:
The Setting Star Shall Rise Again?J.
R. Blake, Greenwood, S. C.
Fancy's and Mystery's Dream of
Heayen?G. C. Bradley, Abbeville,
|S. c.
The Homo of the Waters?J. Caldwell

j "A Spirit Dwells within each Flower"

On Wednesday morning at an
early hour, Lindsay Hall was filled
with a brilliant audiet ce, assembled
I to hear the Anniversary Address
Derore ine socieucs, aim iuu fusing
efforts of the graduating class.
After prayer by the Kev. W. B.
Pressly, of North Carolina, Prof.
Hood introduced the Orator of the
Da\', Col. J. S. Cothran, of Abbeville^
and then successively, the
j outhful speakers.
Col. Cothran, is well known to
our readers as a ready and effective
speaker, with a rich vein of humor
and eloquence, finding utterance
in an easy and graceful delivery.
A line preseuce, melodions voice,
and earnest manner, gave effect to
the pointed thought and polished,
sentences and commanded the attention
and interest of the audience.
A beautiful illustration drawn from
the school of Plato, and exLibiting
as well the modesty and zeal
of the true disciple, furnished a
fitting prelude to the theme of the
!address, "The Immediate Future,"
in which the orator enforced the
ihich duties, and urged the cultiva
Ition of thoso manly ^attributes
which were demanded of us as
men and citizens. We shall not
attempt a synopsis. The great
lesson which it taught was, that
success is not the sole test of merit,
nor the best nurse of tbe noblest
[virtues. Heroism, fortitude, and
above all patience, are characteristics
of ihe highest typc*of character,
and these aro best learned in
the school of adversity?and no
where shining brighter than in
him who surrendered his sword
with the "lost cause" at Appomattox.
Tbe address closed with a
stirring appeal to the student to
cultivate habits of self-reliance.
tii? 1 ~c a.
J.UO KpOUUllUO Ul LUU II(CU
were fully up to the usual standard,
sod we were especially pleased with
the efforts of Messrs. liiley and
White. The following was the order
of exercises:
Prayer.

?J. L. Young, Due West, S. 0.
Noxt followed tho Baccalaureate
Address by Prof. J. P. Presslv, acting
President of the Collogo, and tho delivery
of the diplomas to tho graduating
class. The address was characterized
by the clear thought and mature
wisdom which distinguish ali tho
productions of the reverend speaker
?enforcing the great truth, that life
has its appropriate duties and set
work, and that for their accomplishment,
habits of mental and mo-al dis
ciphoe must be sedulously cultivated
and earnestly maintained.
At candlc-lighting, a largo audionco
again assembled iu Lindsay IIall to
hear tho Alumn? Essay and tho
Alamni Address.
The Alumoao Essay, by Miss L$is
Grier, teas read by Professor Ilood,
and was a gracoful plea in behalf of
the higher culture of tho sex?that
mental and moral discipliuo, and that
fflstbetio training ,which[arcto!rcarup
well educated mothers to preside over
happy and attractive homes.
The Alamni address by Col. Jas.
M. Baxter, of Newberr}', was an
! earnest efi'ort, illustrating and enforcing
as its leading idea, the necessity
of submitting to legal authority,
and making the best out of
the situation. This was iio time,
he said, for idle repining, but for
earnest effort, and it was the duty
of every good citizen to do something
in the work of restoring our
wasted homer, and redeeming the
good old commonwealth from the i
hands of the spoiler. We shall 1
not attempt to foUow the speaker i
in his many practical suggestions I
and sage reflections upoii the du- <
ties which the crisis demanded of 1
us. Suffice it to say, that they <
were the matured fruits of much- <
thought and wide experience, and
.1?/} Kunnr hnfh tf> tli<> }ip;h1 nnd :
! heart of the speaker.
1 Thursday was Commencement Day
! of the Female College, and Lindsay
; Hall never presented a larger con- <
! course or brighter array. Every
jseat was filled, every standing :
iplace was occupied, and from floor)
jand gallery and stage, amid the
I fluttering of fans, the rustling of
ribbons, and the scintillation ofj
jmany bright eyes, the smiles of expectant
interest and a common
sympathy, pervaded the large audience.
i
After tho opening anthem, and a
prayer by the .Rev. Mr. Rice, the Ani- 1
jverf>ary,Orator, Prof. Jpmes II. Carlisle,
of Wofford College, was introjduced
to tho audience by President
'Bonm-r. We had heard the Profesjsor
repeatedly on former occasions,
|anil came to tho feast with a sharpened
appetito. Wo wore not disappointjod.
Tho spoakor exhibited all the
jcharacteristics for which ho is noted

in tho simplest and most appropriate

Then followed the closing address
of President Bonner, and the
delivery of diplomas to tbe graduating
class. These addresses of the
President, we have always thought, i
peculiarly appropriate; evoking by ,
turns those memories of the past
which are alike pleasant and mourn- ;
ful, and presenting with earnest I
feeling the duties and trials of i
the iuture; to meet which they
furnish the sage counsels, and last
admonitions of a revcr ed and be- 1
loved instructor. '
One of the most attractive fca- (

cises, was the music vocal and in
J
struraental, which was contributed
by the teachers Misses Morse, Nix- ,
ou and Galloway, assisted by a f
Dumber of their pupils. ,
As we have said, the hotels off,
'Messrs. Hawthorn, Mays and Pratt, |(
were filled to overflowing, and pri- t
VT-?r'Ti r ? i ? . Jjiiil
rate hospitality was taxed to the
jtmost. In nothing did this last
iiauifest itself more fully than in the
aounteous tables spread in the
College Campus, during the recess,
to-which invitations were freely
extended, and the stranger guest
2'ordiully welcomed.
As heretofore, handsome equipages,
furnished a characteristic feature
of the occasion, and gay ladies
and gallant gentlemen chatted
pleasantly as they dashed over the
dusty streets.
In short the Commencement was
a success and well sustained, the
reputation of the colleges,

Alumni Association of Erskine

STakrow Guage Kailroads.?
Onr exchanges arefull of arguments
to show the superiority of the
narrow guage road, and how it
is destined to work a revolution
in tho future of railroading, by
reducing the cost of construction.
The broad-gunge, or those above
4 feet 8 1-2 inches, have nearly all
proved financial failures, whilst the
narrow gunge or those less than
3 feet have been successes.' The

We learn from tho Columbus

T'. S. Revenue Collector.?In our
last issue wo mentioned that Mr. J. F.
C DuPr<% our worthy County Treasurer,
had been tendered tho post of
U. S. Revenue Collector, but had not
decided to accept. We havo since
learned, that at considerable personal
inconvenience, ami with a \ iow oi
accommodating tux payers in otir

The pay for this worlt, l.owevcr, will

reason to congratulate herself upon
having in these offices, an efficient and
accommodating public servant.

Ku Klux at Ninety-Six! *
Mr. Editor: The K. Iv. has como at

last was thrown into a feverish ?
state of excitement by the sudden
appearancj ir. our midst of u genuine
K. K. No mistake this time; and d
strange to say. it came from Columbia! a

lumbia just at ihc very timo when a i
sub-eonimittce from Washington w?n
expected there on special service?
Is President J3ush or is Col. Dodaniead
responsible? Thcso railroad officials
should bo looked after. Even
the depot man aUhis place manifested
more than ordinary interest on the J
subject, and appeared to think that
white hero tho K. K. should bo regarded
as his especial guest. 13nt we
now feel safe once more; the KuKlux
has gone; left in tho direction of Saluda
river or Co.iesbury ; was piloted
[from this placo by two unsuspecting
fruedmcR, unconscious of their danger.
Nothing ^finite has been heard '?
of thern sinco they left, and their fato
is to us unknown. Strango some one
did uot warn them.of their danger.
Rumor this evening is, that all
three were seen up near Stonj' Pointl
to-day, and 'tis surmised by somoofjQ
I too knowing ones tbat were col. Aiken
summoned before tliut committee ho j
could tell some things about said KujB
