THE CHARLOTTE INSTITUTE. Young Ladies from Florence, Lexington. Walterboro. AbbevilUe. Marion. Fairfield and Darlington Di.4ingis1h '11i h 4selves in 3usic and Art. (From the News and Courier. Cn.unorrs, N. C., June 1.-The r-ost interesting event which occurs in Char lotte is the annual commencement of its well-known and well-patronized institute for young ladies. So many of the citi zens have their daughters there, and the increasing etliciency and popularity of the school is so marked, that the success of the institute is a matter of patriotism to the Charlottean. The commencement exercises of May 31 were more than usually interesting, from the number of graduates, and the distribution of the handsome gold medals as prizes which had been contended for during the ses sion. South Carolina, as usual, came in for a fair share in the distribution of the honors of graduation and of tlie prizes. Among the graduates were Misses Ruth Allen, of Florence, Nettie Drafts, of Lexington county. and Jisie and Mattie Izard, of Walterboro. These young ladies also received, severally, four of the five medals given to those graduates only who had manifested diligence and improvement in the mns department. The prize for theI essay on the origin and develoPlarded the Pnglish language. was al first in to Miss Allen, who, grad rtmrent, and her class in the literarcomplished per becoming the mm* of all the under former on theg the name of South uates Xdistinguished at the com- 1 men9%onths great interest had been ed by the competition of the art p.upils for the two handsome gold medals offered in their department-one by Col. H. C. Jones for the best collection of drawings, and one by the Hon. R. Y. McAden for the best collection ,>f oil paintgs. The award of the prizes was 1 kept a profound secret until the com mencement. The decision was made by judgesv-M did not know the names of the contesu.us. Yet both prizes were borne off by South Carolina, Miss Sophy Has kell, of Abbeville, being awarded the prize for the best collection of crayons, and Miss Maggie McDougald, of Mario county, the one for the best collection of oil paintings The baccalaureate address was deliv ered by the Rev. W. B. Jennings, of Rock Hill, who began in a witty and facetious manner, to give Addison's dis section of a worldly woman's heart. He became more grave as he proceeded, and in an eloquent and impressive manner painted in glowing colors the high and true life which it was woman's destiny and privilege to live.- Mr. Jennings sus tained the high reputation he has made in Charlotte in his visits to the churches here, as an able and eloquent young divine. The art exhibit of the institute this t year eclipses that of any previous one. Miss Thompson, who before she came here had a studio in Albany, N. Y., has brought her pupils to a higher standard than ever before. Miss Annie Clowney, of Fairfield county, had a most creditable display of oil paintings. Miss Haskell's exhibit, as already mentioned, took the prize for the best crayons. Her "Psyche" was an exquisite piece of art. Miss Mattie Izard's collection attracted a great deal of attention. There was a very fine crayon portrait in it, "not a solar print," the teacher and young ladies were care ful to inform the visitor; "we are not potographey here, but artists." Miss Loise Keith, from Darlington, had a beautiful exhibit of oil paintings and drawings. Miss Mary Steed's exhibit was so excellent that before the prize was awarded for crayons opinion was equally divided between her and the sue cessful competitor. One of Miss Steed's diawings took the prize at the fair here last fall. Miss McDougald, as already mentioned, took the prize in oil paint ings. Her collecti-n of paintings wasi extensive and exceedingly tine.t Among the undergraduates whose mes were read out as "distinguished" in their studies were the names of Misses Louise Keith, Mary Steed, of Marion, and Lottie Henderson, of Walterboro. Last night, June 1, the annual concert came off. It was an event much looked forward to, as the new professor, Mr. Rowse, was to give his first public con cert. .It was pronounced the best which had been given in the institute for many years. Miss Ruth Allen's playing al ways attracts attention. She is more than apupil in music; she is an artist. Her professor, in speaking of- her play ing, remarked that he did not think there were half a dozen ladies in the South who could play so well. Miss Mattie Izard's singing was enthusiastical ly enord Taking it altogether, South Carolina -can well afford to feel proud of the way -her daughters represent her abroad. AMONG THE OTHER OFFICIAL plans for the commemoration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee is the issue of a new coinage, or rather change in the designs of the coins issued from the Royal Alint. Their de- c nominations ar d values will not be changed, though there will be some addi tions to the coins now in use, including five-pound and two-pound gold pieces. Theiformer is not likely to bein greater demand than our twenty-dollar gold piece, but it will doubtless be very -at- j tractive. Of course, the famiiar sov-t ereigns and half-sovereigns will be re tained,.and the silver coinage will in clude the crown, or five-shilling piece, , which has not been coined in recentt years. AlU of these coins will bear the o aamiirable design of St. George and the i~ Uragon which beautifies the present sov ereign, and the bust of the Queen, throughout all the new coinage, is to represent that august person somewhat e: as she now appears and no longer as a .a girl. The shilling and sixpence are also to be changed by the substitution for the present wreath of the "ensign armoriar" of the Uited Kingdom, surrounded byu the Garter. Rut the most important innovation is the coinage of a double s *florin or four-shilling piece in silver. This, it is said, is expected to pass cur rent in Canada and elsewhere as a dollar. If so, it 'will make the United States dol lar of 412A grains, cheap as it is, valua ble by contrast. By the present stand-: ards, the double fiorin will contain buta ,. 348.718 grains of siver, equivalent to. I about 358.4 grains of the United btates standard, worth about sixty cernts. Thisa will hardly go, even in Canada.

New York is to have a grand cathedral. >ne otf the grandest and most costly in the vorld. It is to be crected by the Protestant Epis opal church. and will be to that faith in e his country what St. Paul's is to the church >f England. Such a cathedral was pro- r ected years ago, but only recently have the ls for its erection taken anything like klinite form. The organization has been >erfected, and among the trustees are Rev. )rs. Morgan Dix., of Trinity. and W. R. Iunti1niton, of Grace. Hamilton Fish, tephen P. Nash. W. W. Astor. Cornelius anderbuilt, Richard Auchmuty and J. ?ierpont Morgan. Bsahop Potter, who is one of the most ictive promoters of the cathedral move nent. says that the great temple will not be i eetarian in any narrow sense. Its founders f spire to make it the great religious forum s > Pro:estant Christianity in this country. i'he bishop says the cathedral will offer T *to :,1 men, of whatever condition or fel- f owship, the ministrations of religion in ai an-uage understood by the common peo )le, bidding to their pulpits the ablest and nost honored teachers, free for meditation, levotion or re.t at all hours, without fee or -estriction," and thus be "a witness to the )rotherhood of humanity in the bond of he Divine Nazarene. and of the need of t he human heart for some worthy place ud voice for the expressimn of its deepest teeds * * * Such a building would of tecesity. under our present condition. re tuire to be administered by the churclh I iuder whose control it would be reared, f >ut its welcome would be for all men what oever fellowship, and its iotluence would w felt in the interests of our common hris: i-nity throughout the whole land." t The cathedral will also be the centre of ,Teat ,:ducation:d and missionary effect,and vill promote charitable enterprises of vari us~ kir.es. The o(st of this splendid structure will r e at iea-st C6,000,000. The late Miss Cathe ine Wolfe te nded to bequeath '$1,000.000 o the cathedral fund anti had inserted a Iause' iu r w.~ill to that effet. She subse- r *uently resolved to give that sum, and aore, during her life and changed her wil!: ut d'o~th came before she could carry out ( 'er en-entions. ~t It is not believed that any great difficulty c -ill be experienced in raising the amount t< quired, great as it is. Mr. 1). Willis. ames, a prominent Presbyterian of New e Cork, hats put a beqet of $100.000 in hist will for 'he cathedral fund, thus giving an ( mpetu to the libera! spirit in which it is a be bult as well as tol the subscription list. t is sid that other bequests to the amountu ,f more than half a million are in the f mills of wealthy citizens of New York.
