He bad Corunsta Cotizom Contest ror tux Davis MxpaLs.—A most interesting oratorical took place last evening at the lecture room of the Smithsonian Institution. Seven your gentie- men from the senior or jnni f and sacereast Saee vis orator’s medals, and with all the Fate x ctecaticn Made contest for the prize. ga Sy which filled the lecture ee was ya _most part fs Withers's band furnished excel music. only drawback upon the entertainment the evening was the extreme heat. ‘The etforts of the committee in charge to mitigate the exceedin warmth by a Me id supply of cold water, whic! ‘was freely supplied at various points in the hail, are highly commendable. The exercises of the evening were opened by | py oer President of the College invoking he Divine blessing. Rev. Dr. Binney then explained tothe auditory the nature of the exercises they were about to witness Several years ayo, through the kind- ness of Mr. I-aec Davis, the College received a donation, the annual interest on which, thirty dollars, was by the terms of the gift to be ap- lied to the purchase of gold medals, as prizes for excellence iu oratory, as well in composition as elocution. ‘This matter had been neglected for some time ; but this year the faculty thought it was well to renew it. The exercises of the evening would, therefore, bea contest for those medals. Three gentlemen, then among the audience, had been selected to award the prizes Their decision would be announced at the Col- lege Commencement which would take place at E street Baptist church on Wednesday morning next. The rules of the college required, said the speaker, a peculiar degree of collegiate standing as essential to a competitor for the oratorical hon- ors of the school. An irreproachable moral char- acter was deemed indispensable. and to that must be added a high degree of scholastic dili- gence and capacity. ‘he maximum of excel- lence in college numeration was teu; none were permitted to enter whose average was not eight ; and he who fell, in any one case below six, lost the honor of Ege sets in these exercises. Mr. Thos. B. Shepherd, of Virginia, was the first contestant—his theme, ‘Phe True Hero.” Marking the several classes of heroism, he ad- duced Alexander and Napoleon as examples of martial courage. P-ometheus, chained to a rock, gave the young orator a fine illustration of patient sufferance, which he declared the noblest ype of the heroiz. Woman here leads nan; and even in the more active walks of moral heroism the names of Florence Nightingale and Annie Andrews showed that her gentle sweetness did to unfit for daties whose discharge relieved humanity and exalted our race. Gen. Havelock was evlogized as the pattern of a Christian soldier, and the la- mented Herndon touchingly alluded to as an ex- ample of those brave spirits who go hence “ im- proved by death and brighter by aecay.”” The next orator was Joseph Franklin Deans, of Norfolk county, Va. He discussed “ Stability a Character”? in a manner which gave token of much reflection. His handling of the subject was at once concise and attractive. The influence of a firm, decided character upon the fortunes of individuals, aad of # stable national policy upon the prosperity of States, was illustrated by some of the numerous examples that stand out in his- tory. The oration cad dered closed with the Mines of Sir Wm. Jones: “ What constitutes a State??? Music followed, and for a while attracted the attention of the andience. Then came an oration on ‘The Inner Life,” by James L. Holmes, of Virginia—one of the most creditable college pene some to which we have ever listened. The orator remarked the variety and complexity of the elements that yo to make up the statue of the mental man :—the in- tellectual faculties; the moral pérceptions; the emotions and affections ; that stand the mental ct for the features by which it is distin- uished and the nerves and thews that work ont ts will. Then rur closely the line which separates the material from the immaterial man, he illustrated, in a manner at once concise and classic, the eleinents and operations of the immin- terial world by ty and iustratioas drawn from substantial things. ‘he outer life of man, he ed, might be glorious, but it was mortal, er life not less noble in time, endured when time ceased to be, and when abandoned by its brother in the flesh, plumes its piuious for a higher flight, nor rests until at last it fulds them at the Eternal ‘farene. “Socrates and the Socratic Paleopny oration by William Stepben Wright, of Nan: an se- mond county, Va., followed. Introducing his subject by a reference to the wonderful progress of science, he proceeded to show that all the triumphs won by man over the material world around had been but the results of philosophy— of the impress of mind upon the physical world. Tracing philosophy to its fountainhead, he de- clared Socrates its father. The patient heroisin of Socrates was illustrated by bis endurance of the henpecking of Xantippe. The Philosophy of this master found God amid bis works, and be first among the heathen looked from nature up to nature's God. An intermission in the exercises having been pleasantly filled up by music from the band, Charles H. Hassier, of Washington city, pro- nounced an oration upon ‘The Power of the Orator.”? The attributes and characteristics that muke up the orator and enable him to exercise a commanding influence upon mankind were first noticed. A comparison of oratory with other means of power was made, and the palm claimed for oratory. Demosthenes, Cicero, Clay, Web- ster and Calhoun were introduced as illustrating the positions of the young orator whose etfort was #n exceedingly Lappy one. . Then came an oration on ‘“ The Relation of Poetry to Religion,” by Jolin Thomas Gritin, of Nansemond county, Va. This was a highly creditable effort to show that the true source of poetic excellence was, in the religious sentiment, ** pure as Sitoa’s brook that tlowed fast by ihe oracle of God."? The excesses of poets, the ora- tor demonstrated to proceed from causes which had no connection with their poetic talent. The gration oncluded with a fervent appeal on be- half of an American Christian school of poetry. Music again enlivened the exercises, and at its conclusion— John Henry Wright, of Nansemond county, Va., came forward, in tones mellow and with enunciation distinct, to show ‘“* The Price of Ex- cellence.” ‘This oration was a most finisbed pro- duction, and received profound aitention. The result of deep study came forth winged. With a brilliant fluency, chaste and vigorous, yet full, the orator made the theme glow ‘neath bis hand- ling. We have seldom heard Wirt’s warving, “There is no excellence without great labo .? presented with more power or beauty. An ab- stract would do the orator injustice. ‘Lhe orations for the prize bere concluded Throughout they had been warmly applauded. and the speakers received beautiful boquets from fair hands among the auditory. Dr. Binney thea pronounced the benediction. The bared played @ lively air, to the music of which the hali was slowly cieared of a large au- dience, that bad sat the hot evening out, delight- ed with the entertainment. Gotne © on Tick.”?— ‘The onty place in Wash- ington whereat business is conducted almost ea- tirely “on tick,” and yet to the entire mutual satisfaction and advantage of both the buyer and seller, is the well-known estabiishment of Mr Robinson, on Pennsylvania avenue, nearly oppo- site Browas’ Hotel—the District of Columbia bazaar where one not only sees but bears speci mens of every thing ever produced for time- keeping by Yankee inventive genius. In New York city its doors and windows would be crowded at all times by throngs of the curious from all parts of the world; for with! portals in five minutes one cau critically ex ne beard thing conceivable jn the shape of a Yankee cloc! —now as approved time-keepers throughout Europe as the finest and most Sn erate speci- mens of patient Swiss handiwork in the same line. In nothing more than in the production of time. keepers equal in practical value to the most costly of Europe for from one-tenth to one-hun- dredth of the price of those of the lower-price labor countries, do our Yankee fellow-citizens exhibit more strikingly and favorably the tarn which the circumstances by which they are sur- rounded bave given to their mind. We therefore regard our friend Robinson's in- ing premises as a sort of a daguerreotype of thi of Yankee progress. Heshows clocks iu operation, ranging, in retail price, from $1 25 to $150, all of which are nearty equally good time-keepers; the lowest priced suiticiently re- liable for ordinary family use, while the highest priced are critically accurate in their record of the minutest subdivisions of time forall the pur poses of the man of science or the regulator of the time-keepers of others. We saw on bis Robinson's) shelves, on Saturday, bandsome jothic frame clocks al $2; vertical and skeleton work clocks, under glass protectors, at $5; a novel and genteel pattern at $5; boquet clocks at $150; brouze patterns (some of them as artistic in design, si) § as beautifully executed, as the finest ornamental French mentle clocks,) at from $5 to $11; church, steamboat, and hotel clocks at prices In proportion; as well as watches. jew- elry, perfumery, inas great variety of style as cost. We are really in earnest in saying to the reader that our nimbie-sixpence friend Kob{nson’s place of business affords a study of great interest in- deed to the man of thought whe loves to contem- plate the results of Yankee go-aheadativeness. te Justice Hottincsurap —We have just been informed that tue Psesident has re-appointed this experienced and efiicient officer asa Justice of the Peace for the County of Washington. This appointment will be hailed with great satisfac- tion by the numerous friends of Justice Hollings- head, who by activity and correctness in the dis- patch of business bad obtained a erry grent share of public patronage. He will immediately re- sume bis business at the well known office on the corner of Eighth and E streets, near the Post Office Department. Sonstruck.—A laboring man named Fitz- maurice, employed at Birch’s stables, on he teenth street, was sunstruck shortly after 12 m., to-day, His situation is reported ax critical. Criminal Court.—Trial ef James P. and John S. Devlin for the murder of Thomas B. Berry.—When our report closed yesterday, the Court were waiting to receive returns from the r, ¥ ‘ Ephraim Wheeler were severally call hwere disqualified from serving by reason of viously expressed opinions; rs. A i.. New- ton and Geo. Rhodes were severally challenged, and James W. Sears and James Goddard were each qualified and sworn. Geo. L. Johnson was then accepted, but not sworn, in order that the jurors might return to their homes to make prep- arations for their necessary absence during the trial. The Court then adjourned. To-day, by consent of the counsel on both sides, two of the jurors in the pending case (Messrs. Johnson and Miles) were excused from serving by reason of sickness in their families. Eight talesmen were accordingly summoned, from whom to select two re to serve in place of those ‘excused; and E E. White being called, was disqualified by reason of previously ex- Pressed opinions. J. L.. Barbour was also dis- qualified for the same reason. John Scrivner called ; erty and sworn. W.T. Deale called ; disqualified by reason of previous opinions. Jno. Ward called ; disqualitied. G S.Crippscalled ; disqualified by previons impressions in relation to the pending case. Wm. Miles called ; chal- lenged. Richard Simmes called ; disqualified by previous opinions. The list of talesinen was now exhausted, and an arder for four more taleamen was passed, and, they ponding, Jerome R. Wroe was called. and his answers being satisfactory he was sworn and the panel was thus completed. The charge against the ners was then read to the jury. The witnesses for the prosecution were then called and sworn, and the case was opened to the jury on the part of the United St ites by Mr. Cross, who stated the charge against the prisoners, its nature, and the relation of each of them to it; the younger Devlin having, as alleged in the in- dictment, stabbed the deceased, while the elder aided and abetted him by holding him. The circumstances attending the rourder were then detailed at some length, and the law in relation to homicide commented on.
