A handsome, distinguished looking Alton gentleman attended the commencement exercises at Monticello Seminary, Tuesday, and while there was approached by a charming young lady, one of the students, who said: "Excuse me, sir, but aren't you ex- Governor Palmer?" "No, Miss," responded the Altonian, "I am not Governor nor an ex-Governor, excep' of a railway locomotive." The lady's mistake was a very natural one under the circumstances as the gentleman at least in appearance, filled the bil exactly of a noted man.

The 6loslng exefdees of the Primary and Secondary departments of he public schools took place Tuesday morning, from 8 to 12 o'clock, at the arious school buildings. The exer- ises Included the usual class work and xamlnations, interspersed with songs nd recitations.

The children themselves with credit and their py faces betokened their delight a.t tho advent of the summer vaca- ion. Perfect order and oxcel- ent drill characterized tho ex- trcises in tho various rooms, while the recitations evinced a 'eadincRS that could only have been icquired by thorough training. The teachers had reason to bo proud of the progress of their little pupils in the different branches, while the jarents and friends were certainly gratified at the good use tho children lad evidently made of their opportunities. The impression made upon visitors was eminently favorable as to the excellence of our public, school system and the manner in which ieachers are discharging the impor- trusts confided to them. Departments closing Tuesday were ihose taught by Miss Beem, Miss Vtaggie Smith, Miss Dow and Von Pfleger, Lincoln school; Sophia Eppenberger, Miss O'Haver, Miss Mao Dawson, Annie Garin, Humboldt school; Fannie Byrie, Miss Louise A.

Seibold, Garfleld school; Miss Luoinda McLain, Washington school; Miss Jones and Miss Cannell, Irving school. The Intermediate and Grammar departments of the public schools closed yesterday. The exercises were quite well attended, though there were not as many of the parents present as the teachers and children would have been glad to see. The recitations in the various departments were conducted with the utmost fairness and in such manner as to give the visitors an adequate idea of the ground gone over. The readiness and self-reliance of the pupils were especially noticeable.

In the various rhetorical exercises due attention seemed to have been 'paM to elocutionary Draining, though that is a branch of instruction that is rarely given the attention it deserves. The school rooms were, in some instances, prettily decorated with bouquets, but tho bright faces of the "human flowers of childhood" were the greM attraction. The examination papers which were on exhibition, furnished, perhaps, the best criterion of the pupils' progress and these were, in most instances, highly creditable AVe do not believe the examination papers, of any school will average higher than those of the Alton schools, A high average on such papers, involving as they do a knowledge of all the branches and principles the student has gone over, is the best test of attainments and is the teacher's most satisfactory certificate of professional success. The departments closing yesterday were those taught by Misses L. A.

Hall, Mae Quigloy and Clara Gillhnm, of Humboldt school; Mrs. A. Britton, Misses AgnesToohey, Irying school; Ellen T. Miller, Sara Hudson Emma Harris, Kate Miller, Hattie A McCarthy, Lizzie Millen, of Lincoln school. Miss Hudson having gone to California, her school was taught the past week by Miss Alice McCarthy.
