Tho Socioty took a voto on tho merits of tho discussion, and by a majority of them decided Iu favor of "leaping beloro you look." "ThoughtB on Paris," on odmirablo composition, was read by Lizzie T.

Tho Miner vans and their friends, hosts, guests, and pupils all mingled iu happy social converse interchanging sweet amenities and mutual felicitations. A choice banquet graced a plenteous board, aud there prevuilad among all a spirit of social happinoss which crowded tho memorable hours with varied ploasuros. theso, the very first fruits of thoir labors. No honors have ever before bocn conferred, and thoovent markod an era in tho history of the Institute, Tho entire audience, filling tho Academy from the footlights to the upper gallery, centred thoir gazo upon tho stage, and seemed Impressed with tho unusual ovont about to tako place, CHANCELLOR PRUYn's ADDRESS. Chancellor V.

L. Pruyn, of tho State Univorslty, representing tho Board of Begonts, an elderly and very dignified gentleman who had boon seated upon tho Btage, thon aroso and addrOBSOd tho young graduates and tho audlonco. He said substantially Tho TrnBtcos of this Insdtuto havo assigned to mo, young gentlemen, tho plcusant duty at this timo of conferring degrees, which, after satisfactory examination as to your attainments, the Faculty have resolved to bestow upon you. They havo asked mo to act for thom on this occasion as tho rcpresontativo of the Board of Regents from whom tho authority to confer thoso degrees is derived. On this tho first occasion of presenting theso honors to graduates of this Iustituto, it Is a matter of congratulation to say that whon this power waR conferred it was accompanied with a condition which mot tho unanimous approval of tho Board of Trust cos that tho powor should ceaao nnd bo extinguished in tho event that any monoy dividends should bo declorcd upon what had been the capital stock of this im titution, so that whatever has boon placod thoro devoted to Scicnco aud Art Bhall thereafter bo expected from it.

Without disparagement to other Institutions of learning in tho State, in no one of them has a higher standard been takeu than that of tho Polyteehnio of Brooklyn. I havo iu my possession, young gontlemon, a certified copy of tho resolutions of tho Board of Trustees, conferring upon you, Frederick Slato, tho degree of B. aud upou you Frank Slocum, tho dogreo of B. and now in tho namo and by tho authority of the Board of Trustees of this Institution I confer theso degrees upon you respectively. (Tho Chancellor hero formally presented the diplomas, tho audienco enthusiastically applauding).

Theso honors havo been well earned and I have no doubt wiil ho worthily worn throughout life. You now, young gcntlemou, go out in tho world as tho first graduates iu tho degrees you have respectively received. The Chancellor cloBOd his remarks by oxhorling tho young men to banish all selfish purposes and cherish high aims, to let truth and duty always be present with them, lo bear in mind tho inspired motto of our State, "ExcelBior." At the conclusion of Mr. Pruyn's remarks tho young graduates retired amid loud applauso and woro warmly congratulated by their numorous frionds. A bone diction was pronounced by Bov.

Dr. Hall and tho audience Blowly dispersed. the grazier of Mexico, and the plantor of Ban Domingo to live in loving accord with each othor and with us. H. O.

Anthony, tho noxt speaker, presented a logal toplo for consideration. His subject was WHAT CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL In tho solution of thiB problem tho law seems to looi for a conf oiousnoiB of right and wrong In tho actor, and this legal tcBt is everyway adequate. Somo have Eaid that this consciousness may bo present In a mau'd mind and yet bo bo not amenable to tho low. Nothing could bo moro absurd and dangerous than this doctrino of so called "uncontrollable Impulso." A powerful impulso known to bo wrong should bogot a rosistauoo gathering weight at ovory touch of motivo. Every crime 1b committed under an Influonco, which, if tho man choose to havo it so, is uncontrollable.

Tho question of self control is one with whioh no jury nood trouble themselves. Tho othor plea that a man is not to bo convicted so long os ho knows no signs of fear that hia crimo will bo punished is not entitled to muoh respect. Whence can tho fear of punishmont arlso unless from a consoious knowledge of rifht aud wrong 7 There con bo but thiB one touchBtono to apply Did tho accused know ot tho timo of committing tbo deed it wob wrong If sano enough for this, bo Is sufficiently sauo to bo punished if not, ho is too insano to ruu at largo. Wo cannot punish him Binoo ho is not responsible, nnd therefore is not guilty, but in solf protection wo must soparntc him from Ills fellows nnd placo him whoro ho can no longor raiso his hand to lnjuro or destroy, even though it be without tho conscious intent which constitutes a crime. We havo spaco oDly for a brief abstract of a pleasant essay upon THE MUSIC OF NATUBE AND ART, delivered by William S.

Chccsoman, Havo you ever, in that Bhort intorval between doy and night, when deepening Bhadows cover tho landscape aud distant forms fade in the twilight, have you over at sjch a timo rowod out over aomo woodland lake and, resting on its silent bosom, listened io the sounds that fell faintly ovor its tldo from wood and hill and fen? Distinct among those manifold soft chimes could bo heard tho murmur of tho distant brook and tho sigh of tho breczo in tho forest, whilo ever and anon roso clear ond wild tho call of tho whip poor will and the answering cries of his mate. Leavo nature and turn to art. The melodies that aro wont to echo through this spacious building aro beautiful indeed, but thoy stand to thoso of naturo ns tho dramas of tho slogo to tho ovents which they rohrarse. The music of art is in ilsolf unequal to that of nature. Art is ovorywhero copyist.

Tho human oau never adequately oxpross tho divine. Tho memorios of art depend largely for thoir power upou thoir associations. Even national music is indebted for its influence to National hymuB. A people whoso advanco in art and science, whose military gonius, whoso civilization havo been tho admiration and ouvy of tho world has first fallen from its lofty prestige shouting with blind, patriotic frcuzy tho impassioned words of that iUBpii ed battle cry "La Marseillaise." THE SPHERE OF HELLENISM, by F. Slocum, woe listened to with marked attention iu view of tho fact that tho young orutor was leaving tho Institute with a degree.

Humanity as humanity is, in the first place, hold rigidly a menoblo to a supreme law of duty, ilmlB itself possessed of the seeds of moral growth, aud, on tho other hand, is seen to bo ondowod with a capacity for reason and intelligence, which, under favorable cir lancep, may be inanilcBted us tho power of gonius. Everywhere tho splendor of huinau achievement shines forth most brightly in the performance, abovo all, of deds of moral worth, and in tho mounting of higher rounds in tho ladder of inh lleetual dovclopmont. It nmt ever remain a problem of the highest importance to single out the peculiar seeds or germs of human dt veli puieut, tc determine which can bo most successfully nurtured iuto tho ripest perfection. Tho courso of human achievement must romaiu tho novur fvh'ng guide to this cnurso of human developmout. Now, wo claim thai in the universal belief in tho supreme worth of moral elevation, wo havo a criterion of what must he regn rd ed as the above all and under all of perfect mnu hi.ort.

Wo claim, too, that, in tho existing as the abnormal state, of society, this supremo duty of moral culture is rendered still moro Bupremo from tho fact of man's moral degeneration, that, of necessity, his must bo pre eminently a struggle after moral perfection because moral imperfection iB his charactonstio weakness. We maintain theso propositions iu opposition to the ourreut doctrJno of Hellenism. Tho champions for tho cause of intellectual "sweetness aud ligot" claim that to saturate humanity with tho Greek principle of intelligence, is to 1111 full the cup of the human spirit. ''Como," says the Hellenist, "come, eat of tho fruit of tho tree of knowledge aud intelligence, and carry away with you tho ono grand panacea of the woeB and evils of "society." Considered as actually possessed, who would reject tho priceless jewel of complete mtelligcnro? Considered as an ond, asa mlno of precious treasure, what diflictiltit's shall wo uot moot with on our rood to complete intellectuality? What aro some of the limitations to tho Bphoro of Hellomsm Before all, and abovo all, Hellenism, as a pursuit, must bo stibordinato to tho higher strngglo after moral excellence. Human perfection, wheuover it manifests itself, must manifest itself as a perfection, moral, intellectual aud physical.

These streams of perfect manhood can never ruu clear savo as thoir waters commingle. But.we undertake to alhrm tho basis of all culturo moral culturo. Tho universal sense of mankind bears cmvincing tetlimony to the Irauscoudaut dignity and worth of moral clovotion. The centuries speak to us in the thunder tonca of that naturo of man which is higher than intelligence. There is a source of power, will head of strength, a capacity, latent though it may bo, whose currents aro laid aeupor than those of intelligence, whose fruits aro seen in tho cultivation of meekness and humility, chastity and holiness, love to all men, abnegation of self.

But not oojy is man's moral nature his highest nature, in his presont slato it is his feeblest nature. Theso currents of moral power, deen as are their fountains, are. nevertheless, currents swollen with the tido and freshet, curreuts which require a checking of their course, a turning of their channels into smoother river beds boforo they shall l'Ovo spread ruin aud desolation nil around. Society is not in its normal condition. Sin is everywhere a glaring lucl.

This, the Niagara of man's woe, hurries him into he knows not what horrible abyss, intellect cannot save him. The strenKth of his mtnv nhvsical Base Ball A Splendid Game on the Capitolinb Grounds. The Stars havo at last got a good working nino together, and ycHterday presented tbo strongest team they have yet placed in tho Hold tills season, aud, moreover, played their best gamo of tho year. Unluckily for them their opponents, on this occasion, also did the somo thing, and tho result was tho flgnal defeat of tho champion amateurs, our crack nine boing Chicagoed for tho ilrat timo in the history of tho club. Tho weather was oppressively warm, but tho spectators enjoyed a fine view of the gamo' from tho "ladies' eland," entirely protected from the sun, and wo wero gratified to see a number of tho fair sex occupying scats thqrc.

Tho admivsion fco was but twenty five cents, ond ladles aro admitted free to the C'apito hno Grounds, and, moreover, that nuisanco of'our ball groundB, the "gold board" or congregation of betting men iB excluded from tho grand stand. Tho Stars presented their reconstructed nino in this game, und overy man appears to ho tho right man in tho right place, for all tho lu flelders played bettor in this game than 111 auy previous contest of the season, Barlow's play behind the bat being equally praiseworthy. Hois, beyond doubt, tho most effective man they havo had thero since Jewell loft, as ho is os plucky as the test, and moro active iu the position than the others. Yeb tcrday he put out eight playerB by beautiful catches, and assisted thrco times by good throws. Clyuo also played his position better than we havo yet seen him do tlds season, despite his three orrors, and Jackson promises well for short stop, ho also being au effective change pitcher in case of need, and a good utility man.

ISrcen also promises to excel at first base. Uo did not commit an error yesterday, whilo Dollard is evidently tho man for second base, aud thrco better out fielders than Worth and tho ltogers brothers tho Stars have never had. Cummiugs astonished his friends by an unwonted example of activity hi backing up first base on a wild throw by Worth, thereby sa lug at least two runs. Arthur pitched with great judgment in the game, aud had tho support given him equalled that l'ratt had, tho ninth inning would havo terminated with the scoro at 0 to 0, as tho Clcvclaudcrs did not earn a Binple run in tho entire game. It was not until tho sixth inning that moro thau three men went to tho bat on tho Star sldo, Dollard breaking tho ico by making tho first haso hit for the StarB iu inning the fourtn Jackson alBo made one In tho sixth inning, and ho got round to third, hut he was left there.

Worth also scored a baso hit iu tho seventh inning, but he, too, was left at third. In toe ninth inning Worth also made his flrBt by a safe hit, but again ho was left, only four first baso hits being made in tho game. On the other side not a run was scored until the fourth inning, whou Bass opened play with a hot bounder to (Jlyne, Johnny finding the ball too hard a oue to Hold, and after White had boon caught out Aiiisou had a life given him by a high throw of Jacksou't, and by a wild pitoh ho got round Bonding Iiass before him. Pabor thon cut a long ball to SI. ltogers, who held it on tho fly well, Allison running in ou the catch.

A bad muff by Clyne Lho only one that told ou the scoro from him gavo Carle ton lifo and then three passed balls let Carlcton iu. These were lho ouly important errors of the gamo if we except Cuumiings' bad throw to second, on which C'atlcton got round in tho ninth iuuiug. Cummiugs should an augo a code of signals with toe catcher not only for throwing to tirt base but for a cliaugo of pace is pitching, otherwise tho catcher is very apt to pass a ball when the paco Is suddenly changed unawares. ho play of the Cleveland nino was quite a model display, 110 liner catching aud pitching than that of White's and l'ratt, ever having been soon ou tho Grounds. Tho former put out seven playors in splendid style behind the bat aud assisted once, but onu bill passing him and l'ratt mado two catches and fielded out five players.

Hero wero fifteen put out by two men out of tho 27 outfl. Indeed, the wholo nino made but five errors in tho game. Tho Stars never handed a trophy to a nino with less reluctance than they did to their gentlemanly opponents in this game, the Cleve lunders presenting a mowt favorable contrast by ttieir demeanor and discipline to tho majority of the visiting prciei sioual nines wo have thus far had. Tho ing is Ihe full score CLIVEHND. I STAR.

The follnwinej is the Troy acceuut of the match between tbo Haymakers and Fort Wayi.o nine, from the Troy DViy. Ou Monday aftcrnoou tho Kckiongas of Fort Wayne, Indiana, met tho Hajinuke is, on the Union Grounds, iu this city, to play a gamo for the championship. Tho Haymakers, as usual, lost tho toss, and were sent to tho bat, Mr. Isaac Lo Itoy filling the position of umpire. Tho first iunmg resulted iu one ruu for tho and a blank for the Kckiongas.

Iu the second inning tbo Haymakers mado two more, and again retireel tho visitors for a gooso egg, which dish was promptly served up to them in tho third, but tho KeKi's' were no bottor for another cypher was credited ou tho scorer's hook to their account. In the fourth milium the Mowers' were retired lor a cypher, while the Kckiongas, assisted by looso fielding of the Haymakers, and a manifestly wrong decision of the umpire, managed to scoro five runB, when thoy Bhould havo had a blinder. The scoro now Elood fivo to three in favor of tho Kokiongas. Neither rlub added to their totaU in the fifth inning, bath sides going out iu oue, two, threo ordor.

This was the last inning (played as the hall becoming ripped, the captain of tho Haymakers objected lo its further use, aud tho umpiro decided the ball not in condition to play, and called for another ball. Tho Kokiougas rcfuaud to allow another ball to be UBed, although tho Haymakers offorod to accept any hall they wished, and would not continue tho game.

Tho Kckiongas, of Fort Wayne, played their first gamo in this city this afternoon with tho Lowolls.

Tho Kckiongas played finely, but few errors being recorded against them. The Lowells found it almost impassible to hit tho swilt pitching of Matthews, earning but two bases iu the game. In tho field thoy did no better. If they had but Bupported their pitcher thoy would havo givon the visitors a close rub. Hut ono run was oarneid iu the game, aud that by the Kekiongaj.

To day the "grand match of tho cafion" is to tako place at tho Capitolino Grounds, tho comcBUint being from tho City Hall aud Court Houso. Tho former havo been bragging fearfully about how oay they could gobblo up tho follows of tho city party, but the latter, you know, are laying low, and they pro pou to lake tho conceit out of the lurts in a way whioh will rather nslouiah thom.

In fact, thoro is to bo a grand old timo this afternoon on tho Capitolino.

O'Pake Is going to report it. the Boll Tower man not being woll up in tho baso ball Bysti'm. Tho match for the silver onp, which took placo ut Mitchelson's Monday, was attended by a largo number of disc tossora, nnd tho serins of games played proved to bo qnito interesting, Bomo fino ploy being exhibited.

Twelve contestants enterod for the cup, and cf theso the last two to bo matched together woro Jako" and McGreggor, tho httor of Newark, play was quite the fcaturo of tho display, Tho final result was his success by a Ecora of 21 to 6, Billiards. The championship match Monday in Now York between Cyiille Dion and Foster was uo match at all, it being ntaiost a "wolkovor" for Dion, Foster lacking ono of the essential elements of buccoss in a match of billiards for money, nerve aud solf possossion, two things Dion is noted for. No two men could bo moro utterly unlike in manner, appearance, and stylo of play. Foster, sometimoB brilliant, was gonorally heavy and careless in hifl play, did not properly measure thu force of his stroko, and Bomotimos playod wildly. Dion jiovortook hiS'oyo from tho table, watched his opportunities liko a cat after a mouse, played every stroke, Bimplo or difficult, with tho greatest oaro, and "nursed" tho balls wondorfuUy.

What wondor, thon, that Dion bad an easy victory 1 From tho first there was littlo doubt aa to tho roault. Foster's caro "a wretch," and tho uttoror thereof has been taken by the party inculpated "as a guide for future life." After all, wo approve of Mr. Honnossy countering on Mr. Bulkley. May the best man win.

Mrs. Forbes is evidently too much for Mr. Hounessy, Mr. Rhodes, or any othor membor of the Board. A lady whose ideas are that, judging from tho onsam plod specimens of tho Board of Education and of the female toachors of No.

25, the women are smartor than tho men," should not, and, with impunity, cannot, be disturbed in her courtesy and complacency. Tho singular thing about it is tho proof andcrodenco whioh, by their conduct and by their words, Messrs. Bulkley and Cruikshaub gave to the Forbes declaration of superiority. If such is the case as to the Superintendents Mr. Hen nessey does very wisely to direct his mansard euorgies to thorn exclusively.

Now, deferring further comment until somo now phase of tho case comas up, wo close by uiorcly suggesting that tho course taken by Messrs Rhodes aud Honnossy oould not bo regarded as intorforrontial. They were specially invited by tho Superintendents to witness exemplary toaching by exemplary teachers and to hoar exemplary recitations by picked junior scholars. Tho trifling orthographical errors olicited do not at all justify tho heat which casual comment npon the olic itation has aroused. Intrinsically, tho basis all tho pother is excessively thin. As an in Iook upon the mode and matter of toaching, and as a settlomont of tho vexod and dual question, Have Members of the Board of Education, and havo lady toachors any official rights that will mako thorn rospoct each other and themselves? tho subject bids fair to become important ospocially to tho two Superintendents of Public Schools.

Herding Habits. Wo published yesterday a lively criticism bv Charles Rcado on tho domestic architec ture of the time. Liko most of the productions of its author, it is amusing most so where amusement is farthest from tho writer's purpose and whero his intent is severely sober. As usual, Reado affects the dogmatic to the point of savagery, and he assails impersonal facts with as malignant ferocity as he would attack hated personal enemioB. Allowing for characteristic exaggeration, there is enough of truth in tho article to make it' valuable as a suggestion of improvements in the building of houses.

Tho exaggeration of course is gross, and the determination with which Reado shuts his eyes to tho possibility of anything being said on the othor side is ridiculous as well as unphilosophical Tako for examplo windows. He objects to tho common variety because it is made in two parts, "one half to go up and the other half to como down," and thus "grapples insanely with gravitation," at tho samo timo hgntiug against God Almighty ond His laws." Reade would substitute for it what he calls tho scientific window," consisting simply of a glass door or doors swinging upon hinges. Now, aside from tho facts that the swinging door may be inconvenient and in a small room the sliding window is an eonomy of space, it sometimes happens that it is desirable that a window shall be open at the top and equally inexpedient that it shall open at the bottom. How would Roado adjust tho swinging doors of his "scientific window" to such an exigency without "lighting against God Almighty aud His aws" even more hopelessly and "insanely" than in tho former case Something might bo offered in defense of othor details which Reado unqualifiedly condemns. What he says of the utilization of roofs and improve ment in the approaches to them, aud of drainage and closets, is more to tho purpose, and fairly indicates perverse blundering on tho part of builders.

But, not to consider details hero and now, it must be admittod that the avorage dwelling house is far from perfectiou. Every householder is familiar with faults of construction, which might bo readily remedied but aro not, and which are steadily repeated in building after building, year after year. It would bo easy to pass through auy house and point out particulars in which it might bo mado moro con fortablo and attractive to touants and therefore moro profitable to landlords yet, obvious as are tho actual imperfections and fhe possible improvements, universal xperitneo docs not secure the avoidauoe of the former or the adoption of tho latter. Iu tho construction of a machino, whether a steam engine or a piano, the constructor profits by the mistakes of his prodecessor. Whatever is superfluous or bungling in an old machine is carefully studied so that it may be avoided aud replaced by what is more nicely adapted to the end.

Evory new machino is better than tho last, or at all events the aim of tho manufacturer is to mako it so. In business the same rule holds. Old fash ioned and cumbersomo methods are abandoned, and the really enterprising merchant endeavors always to reduce his commercial ad ministration to a coinploto system which shall bo at once simple aud comprehensive. Tho manufacturer or merchant who should omit to rectify a mistako in his plans or systom, but should persist in tho industrious reproduction of nil tho blunders of tho past century, would bo considered far behind his ago and wholly unequal to its sharp competition. We do not find this blind perversity in tho business departmont of life.

It is devolopod mainly iu domestic affairs and especially in that domestic architecture which has so roused tho wrath of Reade. Tho explanation lies in the fact that the domestic side of life peculiarly illustrates tho herding habits of mankind herding habits which impel them not only to aggregate in city groups and village clusters and live in crowds, but to cultivate a uniformity of ac tion and way of living, in a word, to do precisely tho same things and do them in pre ci' 3ly tho samo stylo. Hording implies some thing moro than mere imitation tho faculty in which man is the only rival of the monkoy. Herdings social and sympathetic as well as imitative. Society is very liko a flock of sheep.

There are members noticeable for their ocoon tricity and conspicuous as black sheep, and there are members eminent for the natural qualities of leadorship but with those exceptions there is a dead level of uniformity, so that it is as hard to distinguish members of society as members of tho floek. Tho hording in stinct betrays itself especially in tho domestic side of life. Outsido competition and strifo often havo a tendency to hotorogenoousnoss of development, but in home intorosts and thoso which aro purely social oven tho rivalry is homogeneous. Hence it is hero that fashion has the widest field and convention the broadest culture. It would be easy to show that hording habits are often wholesomo for tho race.

Thoy as suro tho general enjoyment of whatever good aud sensible thing civilization produces or discovers in tho progress of ages. But un fortunately they do not stop there. Thoy assuro also the adoption of whatever mon Btrous fashion may for tho timo prevail, and adhesion to any passing custom, howover unreasonable or oven ridiculous. It is of courso in dress that tho most absurd consequenoes of herding habits nro of tonost soon. When a toilot novelty is submittod, tho portinont question whether it is tasteful, comfortable, and becoming is not considered.

Its adoption or rejection is conditioned on somo fashionable decree as vague and mystorious as it is imperative. But tho routine of society also illustrates those consequences. Nothing but tho hording instinct persuades pooplo to sacrifice themselves to so called Bocial pleasures they all agrco aro organized social tortures. Only tho herding instinct induces thorn summer after sumuior to submit to the miseries of fashionable watoring plaoes. Especially aro tho bad rosults of herding habits seen in domestio architecture.

If homes should be artistically contrived, with a view of beauty as well as utility (and overy body will at least concede tho thoory), why should houses all be alike, any more than pictures? Yet we see block added to block of dwellings exactly uniform. They have boon built in that fashion for years, they are going up in that fashion now, and thoy will probably bo constructed in that fashion for years lo come. Thus tho architectural oharm of variety is lost, but that is by no moans the worst. Tho bungling inconvonionoes, tho stupid perversions of opportunities for tho development of tho boautiful as well as tho conservation of the useful, aro doggedly repeated in each city, each street, eaoh blook and each houso.

Dr. Cochrano announced tho first oration, by H. Vft Kidder. Tho following is au abstract of his address upou TEE PEUFECTION OF THE F.ACE. Is man a dead and withered leaf torn violontly away from the great trunk Has ho been wrenched by some catastrophe from his primal condition of glory? Are the fragments of a broken sceptre iu his hand, a sceptre wherewith ho hold dominion over boundless kingdoms of thought now wholly escaped Irom his sway? At best, man's perfections were but negative, without strength or substance.

He fell whon the lirst temptation canio. Now I would array tho whole analogy of nature against the assumption of such a primitive per iVclion. Everything eh'u that has life begins as a germ, a porl'cct germ if you pkusc, but nrvorthcloss a germ. It is in the beginning but a prophecy of what it is afterward to become. Growth and development by growth is the uormal condition and law of all things organic.

Everything is here on trial, and by trial only docs it thow its nature and quality, uud dici abortivo if unlit to iive; if lit, ripens its powers iuto completion. The iniviTr is but God's great Hold, whero all forms of life are planted, each under lit conditions fur its development. Nature itself signifies but a bursting from lower planes til' being iuto birth upou higher. Indeed, just as soon as growth anywhere ceases decay begmB. Now, this law of growth and progress, by it holds of man, as of all other life, tho order aud direction of it in tho race at large may be seen by looking at the individual, for tho individual man is a fitting typo of his kind, Evory man begins life as un animal, and lor years lives only tho life of au animal.

Observe the restless growth of a child. In tho maui fold discipline of the family, tho school and society, his allcctions arc enhstcd, conscience tpjickcDed, well aroused, a alow Uejiosit of character begun, a high sense of honor appear, aud love to his fellows aud faith iu God follow, aud herein ho enters upou tho third and highest stngo of lifo culture. This, and not othorwiso thon this, has been tho development of tho human race as a whole. Its growth, even from its starting, has boon from tho lower to the higher, from animalism up into iutelloct, and thence into lis moral and spiritual nature. 1 do not prctond that all tbo families of tho raco have kopt abreast in this sublime march of tho ages, nor shall I estimate the point which auy member of it has yet reached.

I wish only to scout this doctriuo of despair so often taught us, that tho best possible to tho race is at tho goal, which is loft back iu the beginning, and to preach tho Gospel of hope, that it is rather at tho goal toward which we aro ever striving, aud which httlo by litllo we aro constantly approaching. The next oration was by II. E. Nosmith, Jr. His subject was THE POTVElt OF IfEMOBT.

A few points nro presented Of all tho faculties of tho mind memory yields us tho best onjoymont. Imagination cannot bo unpleasant, unless indeed ono hould lrightcn himself by the images ho conjures up, the exerciHo of tho other intellectual faculties must ahvnjs give unalloyed delight. But tho plcnsuro memory afTords is penetrated by somo sorrow or regret for wl.at was, but should not havo boon, somo wiBh or longing that what is not, iu eouic way might havo been. In youth memory is nu unerasing fountain of gladuojs, flowing only to make happy then tho memorios of past delights servo as models to mould thereon tho coming joys, guiding the youth to tho fair haven of good decision. AImjvo every other duty, thou, of parent and teacher to tho child, is that of hanging thick upon tho walls of memory thoso happy pictures that shall regalo this weary eye aud invigorato tho fainting heart when youth sobers into manhood and ago creeps ou apace.

Memory is that whioh drives tho murdorer on, when ho fllos from tho sight of his crimo, like Cain from the body of Abel, stark and cold by tho smoking altar liko Orestes, pursued by tho Furies liko Booth from tho crowded theatro, from tho brilliauco of lights aud diamonds, the rof plondent apparel aud bright glances, into dark night without pursued fustor than he can Hpur his steed by memories of tho murdered Prcsldont; liko Hykcs, wandering, wandering around tho holds, trying to rid himself of all recollection, to shut out tho Bight of that thing, laying with its glassy eyes upturnod toward him trying to keep it from following him to banish the torturing reoolloction of hor last words, when sho had made that final appeal to leave tho haunts of sin and spend tho remainder of their livos in for gotfulness and peace, thoso last words ever reverberating In bis brain, "For dear God's Bako, for vour own, for mine, stop, boforo you spill my blood." The murderer goes iorth, branded with tho mark of Cain upon his brow a lopor, with tho foul spots upon his Boul nnd to him that soul, in tones that make his flesh crcopaud his ohcok blanch, over and unceasingly crlos out, "unclean 1 unclean 1" After music by tho band, K. B. Fullorton was announced. Uls Bubjcct was THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE. Tho following is a mcagro abstract Thore in but ono path for him to tread who would prophesy of tbo future of Franco.

Her future iu all human likelihood will bo but a continuation of her past. From tho arc of the ollipso sho has already described, wo aro to caloulato tho romainder of hor orbit. Let us thon from a bickward glnnco at hor history; soo what yet awaits this country that now lios blooding from blows rained upon her from without, and ront by dissensions within, her navy dismantled and hor army dispersed, weighed down by a debt sho can Dover pay, her discouraged and utterly domorallzod, and all authority set ut nought in tho wild anarchy that provails. In 1780, tho French, taking inspiration and examplo from us, tried the experiment of self govornmont, and we know tho results 20,000 persons of distinction and education died by tho guillotiuo; tho country was druincd of men and money law and order wore trampled in tho dust confusion and anarchy roigned supremo, until the nations of Europo woro compellod to league thomsolves against her to savo hor from her worst enemy hersolf. Theu it was that ouo whoso equal the world has never socn stopped forth upon tho stage, rescued Franco from all enemies within and without, and for a littlo whilo ostnblishod autonomy and her integrity among tho nations.

Can Fruncc riso from tho ruins that now bnry hor and resumo hor old position in European politics Who, outeido tho Versailles gorerumont, is bold onough to answer 41 Yes," or wise enough to answer atoll. Expericnco is a dear school, but, in spite of the implication in tho proverb fools will not learn even in that, children may, and if tho pooplo of France ebul), under a wlso master whon thoy may choose, learn obedionco boforo thoy osBay to rule, and If Into tho furrow which the dread plow of via has now turned, all tho seod lessons of hor past shall fall and fructify, Franco may yet come to her bettor self, and bo moro in tho futuro than she evor has boon in tho fast. It. L. Hallct, tho next orator, Bpoko upon THE MONROE DOCTRINE, JomcB Monroo, whilo President of tho United Statoa, declared that wo had the right not only to provent now acquisitions, but ovon armod lntorvontion, by European powers, on any portion of this Western Hemisphere.

This 1b the celebrated Monroo Dootrino. Mow, if it bo truo that wo havo such a right, how and whou did wo acquiro it? Is it onrs in tho naturo of things, or has It boon bentowod upon us by special command liko that given tho Israelites to drive out tho HWltcs, tho Perizzitos, and the Jebusitcs, and go In and possess tho promised land 1 Has it beon givon us as the only or tho best ropresontatlve on this Wostorn shore of a government for tho pooplo and by tho pooplo; and thus given us as a monopoly, extending through all timo nnd over all territory from tbo open Polar soa on tho North, to tho Cspo Born on tho South I conceivo that it belongs to us only in this sonso, that ovory nation possesses tho right of self prosorvatlon, and Is bound to uro all honorablo mooh within its reach iu tho assertion and vindication of this right. Whon any considerable number ot mon or nations aro confederated, this matter becomes comparatively easy, for each member of tho Boolety Is fearful of tho comblnod powor of oil tho others. But when somo bold pioneer, with axo in ono hand and riflo in the othor, Journeys for and settles Bomo unexplored country, ho is ohllgod, in his Isolation, to become a law and a defense unto himself. This prlnclplo of sotf presorvatlon on which tho Monroo doctrine Is founded must also dotormiuo tho limit to which It may by us ho practically carriod.

Thoy should bo governed by different laws. Quarrels arleo, and finally what uo outward powor could offcot Is accomplished byintorual discussions and the land la torn asundor. This is tho clangor wo must ahun.

At what oxtromo portl to our national integrity did wo hold under ono common legislation tho farmer of Now England and tho plontor of Mississippi? It is only in that far distant mlllonium whon tho lion and tho lamb lie down together and a obild shall load thom both, that wo can oxpoot tho fisherman, of Nova Scotia, A Little Less Compliment nnd a Little Moro Cash I Tho Rink concerts held nightly are con cedodly tho boat that have boon offered to Brooklyn audiences for a long timo. Mr. Borgmonn, the accomplished and cultivated leader, who has never sacrificed art to revenue, nor over demurred to mingle classioism with popularity, has brought together an orchestra largo in numbers, and very efficient and versatile in performance. The gentlemen who have become pecuniary responsible for tho maintenance of thcBO Summer evening reBourcos of ploasuro, cultivation and sociability, have, during two prior and brilliant seasons, assumed that responsibility at a decided soveral and aggro gate pecuniary loss to thomsolves. It will bo tho same this season unless the citizous of Brooklyn give to thoir admiration and applause and good, wishes a muoh moro tangible expression.

Tho casual attendance has been fair, the prospect is that as the Summer decreases in duration, the concerts will increase in revonuo. But whon the Directors announced the opening of the present season, and exhibited their programme and their artists, the citizens of Brooklyn, by tho eclat with which they responded in and out of print, put themselves under a virtual pledge to soo that both "tho Republic" and the Rink Concerts "suffered no detriment." To this ond, a limited but sufficient list of season tickets at ten dollars a piece, admitting two, was put forth, and by every indirect indication encouragement was givon to the idea that they would bo taken up. They havo not been they havo not been anything liko taken up. We regard this as a wrong, and as very short sighted policy. Thoro are about 450, 000 people in Brooklyn, of whom less than 30,000 at any time leave for the country during the Summer.

Of tho romaindor at least 200,000 aro directly fond of aud passably proficient in music. If among these not enough of spirit and gratitude and interest is excited to make these concerts pay in cash as well as iu harmony this season, then tho least we say about our culture, liborality, and good tasto as a city tho hotter. Little Peddliugton could not say moro and do loss for theso concerts than Brooklyn has said aud done so far. Now let the rost of the 1,000 season tickets be taken up at ouco. Tho Tribune prints some excellent remarks in minion on "the absurdity of usoloss wrath." Mr.

Greeley (who gets in an impotent rago in brevier evory othor day) ought to read, pondor, and profit by them. Queens County is determined on having a quiot neighborhood, and to that ond has indicted a number of prize fighters who recently amusad thomsolves within its borders. Two of thom, lieddy tho Blacksmith and Harry Hill, wero arrested yesterday aud held to bail. It is to bo hoped that Queens County will not spoil tho busi ness so well begun by lotting tho bruisors and their ruffian constituency off too oasdy. Juno is tho season of great musical gatherings.

There is to ho ono in Now York, beginning next Katurday, and including a largo numbor of German singing societies. At Boston is now holding tho National Musical Congress, which has tho assistance of a chorus of 1,000 voico power, besides the usual incidents of orchestra and soloists. In Philadelphia yesterday met tho Musicians' National Protective Union, whoso object was tho promotion of material intorosts, which although less interesting to tho public than artistic matters, aro of decided importance to tho artists. Tho Union is similar to thoso of tho sovoral trades and proposes to rcgulato tho prices to bo paid to musicians and to protect them generally against their natural enemies, the managers. A London correspondent advises American platform ladies who have gouo or aro going abroad not to bore tho English pooplo with lec tures in June or July and ho intimates that it is hardly worth whilo for them lo try it in the long Winter evenings.

Ho further conjocturos that England has boon "over lectured in tho la it generation." So has Amorica, but doos not seem to grow tired of the entertainment or rathor continues to liberally pay tho charlatans who provido it. llowevor, although our public has repeatedly disappointed those who assorted that tho platform was oxhaustod of itB attractive power, tho public cortainly cannot much longer submit with paticuco to tho accumulating imposi tions put upon it. Thero is little hopo for a gonuine and worthy American dramatic literature until managers aro hold to tho samo obligations of honesty and honor in their dealings with tho public as are publishers. If Osgood Co. or tho Appletons should put forward as an entirely new and wholly native work a hook which was meroly an alteration of an English translation from tho French, the false pretenso would bo proporly characterized as dishonest aud dishonorable.

Thoro appears no sufliciont reason why a liko judgment should not bo pronounced upon tho minagor who palms upon tho public as an original play "a rehash" of an old "adaptation" from ono of Kar (Iou'b comedies. Tho Tribune privos this account of an alleged novelty producod at tho Fifth ave nue thoatro but tho Tribune doos not donouueo tho fraud probably bocauso it is so common. Meroly for tho purpose of getting it off, tho Tribune to day credits to a mythical "Baltimore paper" tho following pieco of Egyptian architec ture, by tho author of "Little Breoches Klio got a little pison snake, And hid it iu her gown It gave iu littlo tail a shauo, And did her joh up brown She tumbled down upon hor ucd, Whero sho was wont to lie Removed hor chignon from her hoad, And followed Antony.

It was discovered subsequent to tho late earthquake, and is reported at largo iu tho columns of a Now York paper of this morning. Tho Commune has boon interviewed at length. An "International Commissioner" doos the job in the most thorough and non committal manner.

Tho porson whom the International Oommhsionor has succeeded in securing for the purpose of interview is Mr. Henry Drury. He is called Monsieur HenriDrury, because that gives a peculiar French form and flavor to his name French flavors being bo popular and exhilarating now a days for purposoa of fumigation. Mr. Drury doclaros that the International Society exiHtB for thopurpoBO of proving tho solidarity of humanity.

Mr. Drury might demonstrate as much in his case by colliding with a lamppost. Tho Sociuty has throo objects, the abolition of standing armies, tho abolition of frontiers and tho unity of pooplos. A portion of tho Socioty in Paris attomptod tho abolition of standing armios, aud the standing armies attempted the abolition of tho Society. It is a mattor of record which succeeded.

Ono, however, is quite appalled by tho idoa of tho abolition of frontiers. Tho editor of tho Tribuni when ho said that crows only preyed ou tho out sido rows of com and, for his part, ho would plant no outside rows whon ho put in his corn, did not got off a moro original proposition than Mr. Honry Drury. A country without frontiers is a pacific but not wholly comprehensible objoct" As to the unity of peoples, wo calmly toll Mr. Drury that if ho cannot dovolop abetter plan, or at least a better phrase than that, ho is barking up tho wrong tree.

Wo have mooted and settled that matter long ago. The sentiment was old when Greeley and Garrison wero young, and Groeloy and Garrison wero old when William tho Conqueror despatched Colorado Jowott to make peace between Bed Cloud and Soipio Afri canus in tho war waged botween them over the authorship of "Book Mo to Sleep, Mother." Mr. Drury says that in Amorioa thore axe 20,000 paying and 160,000 non paying Communists. This is a delicato compliment to the solvency of tho members which Mr. Drury may explain by the fact that tho non payiug Paris Communists profor robbery and burglary to cash settlement, Inscribing on a red flag Base is the slave who pays." Moreover, the American Communists have no President.

Thero is more hope of effecting something in polities ivlieu three or foiirmon, or a limited class, nre directly and particularly interested in tho matter, than when tho whole public nre affocted in gonoral and nobody in particular more so than tho rost. What is everybody's business is nobody's business. It has been proven a thousand times in tho press and by speeches and volumos, that tho so enlled "protection" created under tho tariff is robbery of tho groat mass of tho pooplo. Still the public at large tako but a moderate apathetic interest iu tho mattor. E.ich man says, long as it is everybody that suffors, some more ouorgetic man, or somo man of moro leisure, than will look iuto it more closely Ihrni I can, nnd will do my share of agitating ngaiust the wrong as well as his own.

Thus everybody leaves it to everybody else to work for tariff reform, and the consequence is that the reform progresses, though steadily and surely, yet far too slowly. But now the aggregated bodies of capitalists and manufacturers, for whose benefit tho tariff was devised, themselves bogin to find hat it costs them more than it pays them. 'Xhero is more hopo of a tariff or any other reform when associations of capitalists discover direct interest in promoting it, than there is from tho general popular recognition which the arguments of tho revenue reformers havo already obtained. A most significant proof that tho manufacturers are at last discovering that the impoverishment of tho public at large, their customers, eaunot iu the long run be promotive of their own prosperity, is afforded in a protest which we have just seou, signed by no less than four hundred of tho loading boot and shoo manufacturers of New England. No more conclusive argument against tho short sighted uud sinister attempt to protect manufacturers by robbing farmers and laborers, could bo ponned within the same space.

These boot manufacturers are late converts to free trade, but they ore complete convorts. They havo been wrong, but they now fully realizo how wrong, 'i'hey commenco by showing that in all other countries, where manufactures havo thriven, the policy of the Government, so far as it meddled with trade at all, has been to Hccuro the cheapest importation of raw material for tho workmen to labor upon and for capital to bo invested in tho working of, But hero, iu tho auiioty to "protect" ouo olassof domestic industry, other classes havo been sacrificed. Tor instance, as it affects the boot and shoe trade, imported leather is taxed uf per cotton rubber of), and silk rubber OO por cent, nnd lastiugs and serges 8" per cent. With these taxes enhancing the cost to him of his raw materials, tho American boot and shoe maker cannot possibly compete against the foreigner, for the control of any market to which both he and the foreign rival desire to import their manufactured boots shoes for sale. Our Government Cuds the English shoemaker and the Americ.iu competing for (he supply of shoes to the rest of tho world.

It arbitrarily adds fifty por cent lo the cost of the materials which tho American is to use, instead of lotting him alone, ivhon ho could buy his own materials as cheap as tho Englishman can, work thorn up with belter machinery and greater skill, and thus undersoil the Englishman in every market iu the world. The only excuse our government can make for stepping in and thus driving the Now England shocmanufacturor out of the markets of the world which he formerly controlled, would be that tho tax levied by the tariff on these materials is necessary to the government's support. But, reply the 100 protesting manufacturers, tho total receipts of our government from all the above items of the tariff are but three aud a half millions year while they add eighteen millions a year to tho cost of tho boots and shoes worn by our own people, aud they do Xiriyc our manufacturers of the foreign customers they formerly supplied, and whoso payments added to the earnings aud wealth of this country a hundred fold moro than the miserable and deadly tax now adds to the revenue. The Government would get moro than tho three millions and a half from the enriched manufacturers in its domestic taxos, if it would only allow them to retain their former profitable trade with foreign customers. The protestants say Of late years, there hm been an increase of twenly fivc per cent, in tlio productive power of a givon amount of capital and labor engaged iu our manufacture, throiiRh hnproved'maeliiuery and new processes.

Thin gain, which should havo resulted in cheaper boots null Bhuif, lias bucn completely nullified by protoctivo laxeG. The lejji lalion of our own country bag driven our products irom the markets of Canada, Mexico, tho West Indies, and South America, which we havo enjoyed for more than a century. It has transferred Uie manufacture of our products to a groat degree to Canada, whero it enjoys greater advantages, and is subject to fewer impediments, in tho prosecution of husinesH. TIiuh, our country has to this extent lost tho In tiefils of this industry aud given hor wealth to others, though a system of tariff taxation, professedly framed to fostor and encourago American industry, lut which expels it from America, and incrcasoa tho wealth of other nations This New England boot andshoe trade was, before tho government undertook to "protect" it, tho largest single industry in our land. Bosido the way it is directly ruined and robbed by the tariff "protection" of its raw materials, it is also, tho manufacturers show, incidentally and additionally robbed in tho "protection" given to other classes of manufacturers.

Its "buildings, engines, machinery, tools, and supplies," are all "protectod," and all made doarer by tho tariff. Tho protest, thoroforo, calls for "an ontire removal of all protective duties." Tho American manufacturer can tako care of himself against tho wholo world's competition, if his govornmont will only tako its blundering hand out of its present interference with the free course of trade and industry. This argument for a rovouue tariff instead of a protective tariff for free trado instead of governmental coddling, was not noodod to convince the general public. But it is valuable bb indicating thatthoclass interests which forced a swindling tariff on tho people arc at Inst being theinsolvos aroused against it. Tho masses have always and instinctively, ns well as logically, been for freedom of trado, as for freedom of speech and movement and personal liberty; but, when wo find the capitalists, the manufacturers, tho monopolists, themselves discovering that froo trado is boat for them as well as for tho public at large, wo derive new hopo of seeing intelligent political economists placed in power at Washington by the elections of next year.

Mr.

Slocum was enthusiastically applaudod and called out a Eccond time. Ho bowed gracefully and retired. Ho was succeeded by his companion graduate, F. Slate, with an address upon CLIMATE AND CHARACTER was the next oration, which was delivered by F. Slate, Jr.

He opened by alluding to tho dill'ercnces which exist among the various racos of humanity, aud then went on to claim that in all theso changes climate had played no mean port. Through its influonco our natural character had been so changed that it wob only by tho utmost research that the one iiessof tho present American race, with that which had been established by tho fathers could bo distinguished. Tho Northern branch had all the tendency to effeminacy Bhut out of its nature by the constant necessity for work which was necessary to make the discouraging soil bring forth fruit. Tho man here had to work to live. He hatl to strive all tho year round against naturo to force it to furnish him tin wherewithal to live, and for shelter against tho colu.

It was entirely i 'iffereut with tuo sunny sons of the South. There naturo lavished upon thom her choicest gilts without auy exertiou on their part. It was iu theso climcB that, freed from the trammels cf irailo nnd mere labor, the Bonis of tho possessors of these South orn soils, poetry aud music, mado thoir home. Tho children of tho South woro noted as tho foremost ox poneuls of thoso delightful sciences. But if the South was tho bomo of poetry and music, (he North was tho home aud abiding placo of domestic affection.

It was horc that tho homo circle was found in nil Hb completeness, with all its bicssod iulluouco. The word homo embodied all that was held most dear uud our most sacred affections woro bound iu our home associations, and that wo woro a hcme loving raco was duo to tho fact that wo wero born in a norlhern climate. But climate was not tho only thing to bo considered. Mau was not a croaturo of circumstance. A natron's character could not bo predicted from tho simple fact of climato becauso thero were moral influences which might bo brought to bear on it.

The essayist arguod these poiuts at somo length. Tho audienco persisted iu bestowing tho samo compliment upon Slato that thoy had given Slocum, but "muBic" was on the and tho band was relentless. At tho conclusion of tho orations, all of which woro loudly applauded, Mr. Isaac H. Frotblngham briolly addressed the audienco.

Uo said Tho history of public schools in thU city Is within tho experience of many of thoso who hear mo. It has been developed within a quarter of a century. It was called forth to meet tho pressing wants of a growing community. It is still maintained and carried forward to that, and is a source of prldo nnd should bo one of gratitude with all our citizens to night. Our city has spent untold sumB to carry this food to hor citizens, and thoy havo profited by it.

A want of somothiug highor has beou doveloped. This want was lirat mot by tho Female Academy, whose quarter century anniversary has just been celebrated. When tho old Academy was destroyed want wob felt for an institution for hoys Tho trustees of the Polytechnic took up tho subject, took prompt measures to ascertain how general was tho demand, then to meet it. Thoy organized in 1851, built thcirbuilding, and iu Soptombor, 1855, oponod their Institute to tho public. Tho Biiocess of tho Female Academy had shown what its succors would bo.

Ample arrangements wero mado. $11,000 was spout in tho beginning. Citizens responded readily to appeals. Between 200 nnd 300 scholars attended tho first yoar. During the last year moro than flvo hundred were iu attendance.

Aided by a competout and cfllcient corps of tenchers tho trustees hud developed the institution in a manner to meet tho approbation of our citizens at tho oununl commencements. Applause. Coursos have becu laid out for a highor and broador education thuu is elsewhere given in tho city. We had to feel our way gradually. Year after year wo providod tho best in our power.

To day tho Inslituto appears before you based upon a courso ot instruction second lo nono iu the State. 1 hardly know whether I ought to oxcept tho colleges. The liunnclal situation of tho institution is substantially this Beginning with adobtof 0,000, subsequently increased by $25,000, wo havo from year to year uot ouly paid tho interest, made liberal appropriations for teaching, reducod tho debt, onlargcd tho opportunities of the Institute and now Bland without a dollar of doht upon It. fPPlauso. The appropriations for tho pay roll of professors and teachers for the coming year aro withiu a trillo of $43,500.

I may Burpriso you whon I toll you with what admirable managomont tho collcctious aro made, whon I soy that tho pay roll of last year, for tuitions amounting to $57,000 has been paid up except $20, and that is proniscd in a day or two. Wo propose to go forward and onlargo our courses until somo good friendB of the Institution shall endow it and mako of it what has been talked of a Uuiversltj Loud applause. To bo a success a Uutvor3lty must havo a woll developed, weU laid basis. If it has uot disappointment will follow. At tho conclusion of Mr.
