Thc Reign of Pantomime at thc Acade? my-Trials, Tricks and Transforma? tions of Humpty Dumpty. There was another big house-a regular crusher-at the Academy last night to greet the second appearance or Humpty Dumpty. The enter? tainment, as we had anticipated, passed od even more satisfactorily than on Monday night. Of course the delicious singing of Mrs. Oates, and Messrs. Alleu. Chatierson and others, with the sparkling wit of the dialogue and thc rich and glittering costumes, carried through the bur? lesque introduction with striking success; but it is evidently the pantominc which lias so hugely tickled the fancy of the Charleston public. The charm does not lie in what is said-for there is but littlesaid. It is no: what is inferred-for thc "in? ferential calculus"' is not over literally followed. But it is what is done; what is evoked in the way or reminiscences; what is not only put in action on the stage, but is supported by the music from those wonderful musicians who never seem to grow tired or unmusical, that make np its charm. Seneca unbends himself, and smooths down his wrinkled frout when Clown and Pantaloon are at it, and the pirouettes of Columbine lure them to tricks without parallel, nud mishaps without number. Thc magic disappearance of table? cloths, while the dishes remain undisturbed on the table, the laughter-provoking grimaces of grotesque faces on the wall, the contortions and pranks of living statuary, thc acrobatic doings of Harlequin, clumsily imitated by Clown and Panta? loon, the phenomenon of the Irrepressible caudle, the dismemberment of Harlequin, and the subse? quent reconstruction of his scattered limbs in full view of the audience-these are but a few or the feats which perplex everybody, and till the rising generation with woudcr and awe. The whole performance gives a capital idea of the Christmas pantomimes lu England, those de lightrul entertain meats or which we have all heard. There certainly isa charm In thc silence, a mysterious something in thc pantomime, that the mere clever, witty, or stirring words or the drama fall to awaken. For a large portion or playgoers, the mute gestures of the actors en? chain the undivided attention, whereas often in a play one sees the suppressed yawn and a look of weariness. Pantomime owed Its intro? duction into England to the fact of there being one theatre too many in Loudon, and the diffi? culty or obtaining audiences Tor Drury Lane and Its rival without something very attractive and not antagonistic to the regular drama. Panto? mime had become a rage in Italy and drawn larger houses than the theatre. Harlequin's (Irst appearance on the English boards was in 1667, when an actor named Joe Haines donned thc motley. "Harlequin" and "Scaramouch" were two of the characters in a farce of Aphra Belia's -written in 1887. John Rich, son of thc proprie? tor of the Lincoln's Ina Fields Theatre, made great reputation as "Harlequin." Of course the most was made or the courtship of Harlequin and Columbine, their trials and joys, with thc adjuncts of very line scenery, brilliant music aud dancing. It ls no wonder that even Pope was in? duced to write some verses, lu extenuation if not absolute praise. Thurmond, a dancing master in 1733, entered thc Meld against Rich with a pan? tomime called "Dr. Faustus,"' which had a great run. The pantomime was played at the conclu? sion of the play, but became so popular that the drama was forced for thc time to bow before thc magical wand which transformed men to wheel? barrows, women to joint stools, birds to serpents, houses to tulips, and a palace to a hovel. The popularity of this amusement gave rise to the sententious saying of Dr. Johnson, that "Dr. Faustus" laid the "ghost of wi:." At first, there was a great outcry against the'pantomlmc. But lt took deep root, and will arrive at a still higher excellence. Even Garrick's prejudice gave way when he wrote : "When Lun appeared with matchless art and whim, He gave the power of speech to every limb: Though masked and mute, conveyed the quick in? tent. And told in frolic gesture all he meant." The third performance or Humpty Dumpty, which bids fair to have a run altogether unprece? dented In the history of Charleston theatricals, takes place this evenlug. Public Opinion. At the close of the performance last night, we heard the following dialogue between two Ameri? can citizens of color lu front of the theatre: "Say, Sam, ls you bin in dar to sec the thea? tre !" "Yes, sir, I is dat. I tell you what, nigger, 1 dun biu to many a theatre, but dis here theatre ls de funniest theatre I ever biu in !" "Is l: funny a* a circus ?" "Sukkus? You is a fool, nigger. Sukkus ain't no whar. I tell you what, slr. dat mau Humpty Dumpty, what play lu dat theatre, ls funnier 'au any clown I ever seed.'" Aud we passed on, ejaculating a hearty amen. COMMENCEMENT OF THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.-At ll o'clock yesterday morning the studcuts ami faculty of the Medical College, together with tlie trustees and a number of visitors, including members of thc profession, friends of the students, and a goodly sprinkling of the fair sex, assembled to witness the com? mencement exercises. The hall of thc College was occupied by the visitors, students and board of trustees, among whom were noticed the Hon. Alfred Huger, and Rou. W. D. Porter aud Hon. H. D. Lesesne. The Dean. Dr. F. M. Robertson, presented thc following report of tho Faculty to the Hoard or Trustees, and conferred the diplomas on the graduates: Jfr. President and Gentlemen of the. Board of Trustees-lu presenting the unuual report of the faculty of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, for the session or lS09-'70, we would remark that the condition of thc institu? tion bas not materially changed since our last re? port. We are still feeling the eilects or the un? settled conditiou of the South-politically, socially and il na ncm Hy ; and as In many of the grave de? rangements ol the human system we can do but little more than wait tor the* powers or that great restorer- "Hie vis medicatrix na turee''-to bring abouta more healthfnl action, so lu relation to these evils we can only walt patiently for the re? generating effect of those great natural laws. "tile vis conservatrix natura," which, under a wise and benedcent Providence, will, we trust, place us again on a solid and enduring founda? tion. The natural productions and resources of the South are varied ana great, and cannot fail, with a return of reason and the sentiment of Jus? tice, combined with energy and skill, to re? vive agriculture, the arts and commerce, and. with them, the Importance and appreciation of tbe most thorough scientific education In every profession and calling. In addition to th* usual course of didactic lec? tures from the regular proiessors, and recapitu? lations by the supplementary professors, the class has enjoyed clinical advantages equal to those or the most favored institutions. Tue two city hospitals have Leen so located as to make them In reality but one. This arrangement has given us access to the entire clinical material, which has enabled the professor lu his clinical Instruction to avail himself or all the cases under treatment, Tor the purposes or demonstration and illustration. The students have had access to these important mlvuntages at nil times and without additional charge, lt affords us pleasure, lu this connection, to express our thanks to the city registrar. In chargeur the health department, and thc city authorities, to whom we are indebt? ed for these Important advantages. At the same time we would express our high appreciation of thc uniform courtesy and kindness of the medical staff or the hospitals, in affording the professors every facility In the selection of the clinical ma? terial at their disposal. The Roper Hospital-a noble charity-which deserves the sympathy and support of every philanthopist, has beenopeu to the studeuts, aud the medical and surgical staff of that Institution have, at ?ail times, been ready to extend Its clinical advantages to the members of the class. The gentlemen composing the class, repre? senting the States ol Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Caroliua, have been uniformly regular in their attendance ou the lec? tures at the hospitals and in the anatomical rooms, and have displayed a praiseworthy zeai in seeking to derive every advantage from the course or Instruction afforded by the institution. In conclusion, we beg leave to present the fol? lowing gentlemen, in alphabetical order, who have attended two full courses of lectures, ami complied with all the requirements of thc insti? tution; and, having been examined by the fa? culty, we recommend as worthy to receive the diploma of the college, aud respectfully ask that the degree or doctor in medicine he now cou rerred upon each of them : E. Smerdon Burnham, of South Carolina, winiam A. A. Deas, or South Carolina. Michael S. Killick, or South Carolina. John M. Miller, of Georgia. Charles L. Mitchell, or Florida. Charles B. O'Bryan, of South Carolina. Charles H. Schroder, or South Carolina. Albert R. Spencer, or South Carolina. George P. Trotter, or South Carolina. William D. Waraer, of South Carolina. The Hon. H. D. Lesesne, the president of the Board of Trustees, then addressed the graduating class as follows: Gentlemen Graduates--The diploma of the col? lege huvlng been conferred on you, I w?l now, in thc further discharge of my office, endeavor to say a few words appropriate to this interesting occasion-personally interesting to you and your learned instructors, indirectly so to thc entire community, through an iustltution which has for a long course of years reflected so mach credit ou the State whose name lt bears. It ls matter of some regret that the college does not at this time enjoy a degree of prosperity commensurate with its merita and advantages. But that ls only in Iceeplng with the gloomy condition of our de? pressed conn try, and we must all work on patient? ly, and hopefully expect thc dawn of a brighter day. The choice or one's calling or pursuit is certain? ly a subject of grave importance. It behooves him to taite care that it be the one for which his gifts and tastes give him a vocation. He will then at least secure a congenial companion for the journey of lire, aud most likely achieve success. Un the other haud, a mistake iu this matter in? volves serious consequences lu respect to his use? fulness and his happiness. The brightest intel? lect may be rendered practically valueless If forced into an uncongenial employment for life. And it is a fatal, though uot very uncommon, error to selecta profession for orin In early life, before his peculiar gifts have been developed, and to persist iu the choice in spite of i lie in. Assuming, gentlemen, that you have been gnided by these considerations, I congratulate you on the selection you have made. The profession of which you are now members ls, indeed, a nuble one, whether considered with rerercuce to the de? partments of knowledge which belong to its prov? ince, or to the object it ls designed to subserve. How elevating and interesting and useful the study or the structure or man, and the laws which govern the runctlous or its parts, and or the prop? erties or the numerous substances that have been mercifully provided for alleviating physical suffer? ing I How delightful the o?lcc ol administering to the relief of the sufferer ! It is beside my purpose, as it would be be? yond my ability, to give any particular in? struction rospeciing the studies which appertain to your pro esslon. But let me offer the admoni? tory remark that you should now consider your? selves as having been only conducted to the con flues of a vast Held, which lies before you for ex? ploration. Proper guides uud appliances have bocu placed at yourcommand, aud it is now your business to use them. Distinction, or real suc? cess. In your great profession cannot be expected exoept a's the reward of unceoslug labor and care? ful ooservatlon. The scienco or medicine, as well as the healing art, is progressive; and the practi? tioner, who has au adequate conception ot lils un? dertaking, must resolve to be a student through? out his wnole career. Andi would Impresa this upon your consciences, iu view ot the responsibili? ties you are about to assume. Incompetency ls not so quick or so sure ol detection aud exposure in yours us in other learned collings. But hitman life ls Imperilled In thc one case, only property lu the others. The medical pretender, if n man of plausible and Insinuating address, may commit havoc among his confiding patients, ami yet, :or along time, enjoy a large practice and reputation, because ol the lack ot au Inevitable practical test of lils qualifications. But let not your ambition be satisfied with any success which is not built on a thorough kuowledgc of what you profess to practice. 1 have thought it proper to make these general remarks respecting the scientific qunhtlcatious and literary habits or the physician. Let me now add something with reference to considerations which should influence him in the practice of his art. You must, of course, expect to become familiar with pain and suffering, and the impatience Inci? dent thereto. But lt ls a mistake to suppose that this necessarily deadens human sensibility. Habit enables one to retain his self-possession amid such scenes, and. therefore, to administer relief more intelligently and etUclcntly. Hut he feels not the less lor the sufferer. lt ls quite possible then for the physician to possess a ready and ten? der sympathy. And lt is his duty, as well as his Interest, to cultivate lt. It ls a southing balm to the initient, and wins his confidence and esteem. On the other baud, indifference to the sufferiug he Is called on to relieve, and Impatience towards the sufferer, ure revolting. The proper relation between the parties Is one of confidence and friendship; and the phy>lcluu should habitually cherish the sentiments uni; cultivate thc manners that are Indispensable to Its existence. Besides that to which I have referred, thc phy? sician should be characterized by nil those quali? ties which arc embraced In the Idea of trustwor? thiness. He is necessarily admitted into confi? dences Troni which even other intimate rrleuds are excluded. He moreover secs the family as lt ls In the informal association ol its members with one another, unconstrained by the reserve which the conventionalities of thc world throw around ordinary social Intercourse. This peculiar posi? tion calis for the exercise of the nicest propriety. Those coutldenccs must nc; be dealt with lightly. Ile must not lu any way presume on his admis? sion Into the bosom of the family, nor permit him? self to make what he there sens and hears thc subject or cossip. Above all, the secrets of thc sick chamber must bc sacred. Disease is the universal lot of mortality. But although there be nothing degrading in lt, lt re? volts tue sufferer to think of his ailments being made the topics ur Idle comment. But the recollection that for months past you have listened dally to lecturus far more Instruc? tive than any i li mg I eau say. admonishes mo to sum up these remarks. The physician, then, who ls well qualified for lils profession, who is ground? ed lu its learning, and keeps pace with 1rs pro? gress, who finds hl3 practice a school for the Im? provement of his heart, ror the cultivation or high sentiments or propriety and honor, and ror the exercise or the refined courtesies or life, and who thus makes a grateful friend of every patient, has Indeed an enviable lot. I therefore repeat my congratulations on your choice of a profession, and hope and trust that each one of you may rea? bre thc satisfaction and happiness which are thc legitimate rewards of the kind and skilful physi? cian. On thc conclusion of the chaste and eloquent address of thc president, Dr. Robertson stated that another pleasing task, had been devolved upon him to perform. Dr. C. U. Shepard, Jr., thc professor of chemistry, knowing the urgen', need of a thorough acquaintance with that branch, had prepared a r .:ze to be given to that member of tin: graduating class who acquitted himself best In that examination. This prize, a hand? some pocket case of surgical Instruments, was awar.led to Dr. C. Schroder, or Charleston, and. at the request or the donor, he made thc presen? tation. Dr. Schroder, In receiving thc prize, ex? pressed lils thanks ror the warm interest dis? played by Professor Shepard and lils acknow? ledgment of the honor awarded him. lu this connection, it would bc proper to state, in jns::ce to Dr. A. R. Silencer, of thc graduating class, that he declined to compete for this prize, as he was already a graduate In chemistry and pharmacy, and Dr. C. U. Shepard, Jr., bore testi? mony to his proficiency in those branches, having presided at the examination. After the commencement exercises, the dean invited the graduates to the "green room," where an hour was agreeably spent In discussing the good cheer provided, and lu extending con? gratulations on thc close of the course or studies that had sent them Into the world as M. D's. The graduates subsequently met and adopted the tollowing resolutions : At a meeting of the Graduating Class, held immediately after the commencement exercises. Dr. George P. Trotter was called to the chair, and Dr. John M. Miller appointed secretary. Drs. A. R. Spencer, C. H. Schroder and J. M. Miller were appointed a committee to draft resolutions ex? pressing thc views and feelings of the class. The committee presented the following resolu? tions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we cannot part with the Dean, Faculty and Supplementary Professors or the Medical College or the State or South Carolina without expressing our high appreciation or the advantages we have enjoyed under their teach? ing. We can truly say that they have given us a lull, most thorough and able course of lectures. Resolved, That we cannot speak too highly of the course or chemical teaching .. 'deli we have enjoyed at thc city hospitals. A larger number and greater variety or important surgical cases aud operations huve been brought before the class this session than usual; and we herebv ten? der our thanks to the medical staff or thc hospi? tals ror their unvarying kindness In allowing us every facility for observation at their command. Resolved, That we earnestly recommend the Medical College of the State of South Carolina-a time-honored and noble institution-to all who desire the advantages ot a thorough and able course or medical lectures. Resolved, That we hereby tender our thanks to the Hon. II. D. Lescsne, the president ol thc board, Tor his earnest and able address, and re? quest that it be published with the report ol thc Dean or the Faculty. GEO. P. TROTTER, Cnalrman. JOHN M. MILLER, secretary. Dr. Schroder, the graduate who obtained the prize in chemistry, ls a son of Magistrate H. W. Schroder, and ls quite young. Dr. W. A. A. Deas, another of the class, is a graduate of a German university, and is a professor of German at the high school. He also fills the position of house physician and apothecary at the City Hospital. No honors were awarded to the class apart from thc diplomas, and no thesis was required. Though the graduating class ls much smaller than those of the ante-bellum era, the college ls steadily gaining ground, and the attendance at the next session will be in excess of any since Its reorgani? zation. The gentlemen who comprise the raculty have a high rank In their proresslon, both at home and abroad, and the college offers advanta? ges for medica! students fully equal to those or other States.
