“Stee -WEET POINT. ‘The Last Drill of the Graduates. How a Stranger Knew All About It—Arrival of the Prosident’s Family—The Colored Ques tion Again and Another Religious Question—The Awarding of Diplomas To-Day. West Point, June 14, 1870, The graduates had their ldst drill to-day on tne Platns—a driil in fel telegraphy and signaling. 1t was witnessed by a large number of spectators, tactud- tag the Sceretary of War and many o:her prominent persons, The drill is a rather singular one, and although there 1s a good deal that is really excellent about the signalling with ‘he flags, there is much in the telegraphy that secms rather uscless, During the War insulated wires were made use of in preference toall other kmds, and these wires were laid on the ground, thus doing away with potes, In the drill to-day a wagon was driven about the plains, from whieh, at certain distances, a cadet threw outa Pole, to which other cadets at once attached the wire, This, im the eyes of many, seems to be the useless part of the drill; but is Ig eontended that the poles are necessary when the wires are laid where troops are constantly passing, and that drilling the cadets to “lay” the poles quickly docs not In any way detvact from their eMciency in laying the wires in apy other way. ‘There are those who beileve, however, that the dex- terity shown in driving a wagon about and throwing poles out of it is of a kind which can be easily acquired by any person wi'hout atl the formal march or the double quick time of a squad of soldiers, The signalling, asf said before, was the best part of the dri!l,and auybody who is atail acquainted with the tmmense beneflt our armies de- rived during the war from GENERAL MEYER'S SYSTEM will readily concede thas the cadets should pay even more attention to it than to the telegraphy. It was at all times very easy in our armies during the rebellion to employ telegraph operators for a campaign as part of the force, but before the original corps had become well’ established it was very dificult to find officersin suficient numpers to perform the duties exccted by the new system. Messages, during the drill, to-day were sent from Fort Putnam to the Plains by telegranh and re- peated with the signal flags, At the close of the drill everybody expressed himself “highly de- lighte’” at what he had seen. Of course mo person nof belonging to the Academy or the Signal Borps uvderstood the signals, and the Cadets might just as well have been waving the Hage for sport, without any regard to messages, and the visitors would have been none the wiser, “That ‘was very neatly donc,” sald a pompous looking, well dressed gentieman who wore a nillitary cap, as a cadet took up a flag and waved it several times, apparently in answer to the waving of the flag on the fort, “What do you refer to, sir?’ queried the cadet, “Why, that sigeal you made, sir, You answered so quickly and the reply was so rapidly interpreted by the other flag. I never saw the thing done better,” and pomposity put his glasses to his eyes and gazed at the fort a3 though endeavoung to READ THE SIGNAT. “Do you understand signaljing ?’" asked the cadet? “Ah, yes; I was in the army, you Know, bat I have forgotten & great deal aboutit.”” The cadet knew his man in a twinkling and was determined to give the stranger the benefit of his knowledge. Taking ‘up the faz again he made a signai to the flag on the for:, which was answered, and then asked the visi+ tor “if he had read it. “?Pon my soul, it was vi finely done, but really I couldn't catch all the mean- ing oi——” The cadet had not time to listen to anything more, for the voice of his ofiicer came thundering in nis ears, “What - do Me mean, sir? Give that flg to Mr, — € fact of the matter was that (he cadet, in the siznal which the visitor thought “very dnely coue,?? aie the announcement to the one in the fori, «There's a donkey by iy side,” and the answer caine, ‘I can gee the animal without the g.as.es.” Oan ‘anybody coubt afer this that geese are not easily plucked at West Po.nt? ANOTHER CHURCIH QUESTION, The Congresstenal Committee, or at least those members who rewain, we doing their best to kill time, and enjoy themselves without troubiing their heads, with “investizations.” They are on Jolly ’ terns with the Board of Vistors, and “work’ in!

And as it recalls an incident [ may 8 weil begin at tie boginuing. Years ago West Polat was so excius.vely mii that acivilian foucd loitering on the grounds considered if not a highwayman in disgiuse, at lea-t @ person who had to be well watched, Jest he might, in a sudden ft of Benedict Arnoldism, seize upo. the piace aud deliver it over to someboay who knew what it was to be gentieianly, On Sun- days it was. such a pious place that no wagons were allowed on the grounds, and if a atrunger dit not bow and serape,- and say by bis lons, “£ know I ama poor, miserabie wretch, ought tobe glad to have yon look on me cyen In anger,” he was treated in a way that made him foci that “there’s no place like home’? after all. In fact, a civilian, who paid lis taxes to support the institution, was an interloper in those doors, wlule the men who foi their @dication at his expease were the lords and Masters of all they surveyed—in thelr own opinion. Ol course there were exceptions to ihe general rule; but the way the exceptions were made much of only went to make the rire the stronger for the unfavored miny. One of the pliases of this exclusiveness was fu the church business. The Catholics on the post numbered mre than any one other denomination, and they grumbled because they had uo regular clergyman. The Cold Spring pastor came olten as he could to adminisier to the.r spiriteal wants, but he Was not treaicd by many of the pa:ties n power the way that the Catholics desired, Tins was when “old Buck” was in tie White House, By some means or another he heard of the state ef xfiairs, and sont a letter to Arch- bishop riugies asking lint to designate @ clergyman who woud inevery way be @ suitable person to Ey mingle irecly in’ West Point gocioty. Dr, Caro, of Kondiout was appomted as the “@uitabie person,” and President Buchanan sent an ofikial order to Colonel Delatield, the commandant, inferming him of the appointment of Dr. Caro. ie Colonel received the oergyuian in his usual hospkable way, and for once the Catholic population were treated, through ter amor, With tie same conskleration awarded the Episcopalians bieuca their chaplita. Dr. Caro on all o¢ astons ¢f ceremon;, such as whea the Board of Visitors were receive, was aiways united ta coin- mon with the other clergyman, and continued for years to be Conaldered as a sortof : OFFICIAL PERSONAGE, as the order from Buchanan viriiily made him, White Colonels Bowman and Beauregard and Gen val Cullum were s\periniendents no change of tre ment Was exhibited towards the representative of the Catholics’ regard, until, it is said, the advent of the present powers that be When the present supeiintendent took command the experiences ot the war had “shaken @ great dical of tie stiff-necked coniempt of civilians out of West Point, although too much yf it still re. miins. Many of the “excinsive’ regilations that had previously existed had been gradually done away with, anda reign of liberabity in every respect ‘Was Joreshaiowed; but Dr. Caro fell uader the ban of the new dispensation for some reason or another. ke was always at the recepiious, the ceremont.s, of ail kinds, and had become to be famiijarly known to almost every visitor who came to the Point, but of late years he has been dropped, apparently, trom the Itt of the luvited guests, I have heard a good deal of taik about the matter this season, and have en- deavored to fathom the new policy to the bottom, anc the only thing? that seems to underlie it 1s that some time ago the Catholics wanted to have a sort of charitable exhibition i thei charch, to which the powers that be ob,ected, ‘ihe prie-t, Lunderstand, contended he was pustorof the church and the mih- tary authoriites could not interfere with {tim any way, and threatened to appeal to Washington. For some reason or another the military folks did not press their objection and the exhibivion was held, Extraordinary to relate, West Point the uext day was just Where it wis the day before; but sinec that tame the appointee of President Buchanan has not ben invited to any receptions or ceremonies wo. which he had before been o welcome guest.

The grand hop tendered to the gradaating class by the class of 71 came olf this evening. ‘Ihe traius acd boats froin up and down the river quring the day brought hundreds of invited guests, and the scenes about the hotels as a conse quence were, during the early evening, far more enlivening than they had been since the season opened. The preparations for the hop were on quite an extensive scale, and although the men who had been employed to dress the ballrooms with ever- greens did not well begin thetr work before this morning the Mess Hall, where the main hop was held, and tne Academy Buiidiag, where the Ameri can FRIENDS OF THE “GERMAN’? made themsslves as happy as dancing and fine music could make them, presented a very attractive ap- pearance when the bail opened. There was an immense crowd of ladies trom New York city in attendance, Every one of the pretty dears, with that pecuilar Gothamite penchant for the beautiful which laughs expense tothe dogs, “as long 28 papa's got money, you know,” caine with a retinue of boxes containing ‘loves of bonnets’? and dresses that would have made even Mister Mantalin! love his wife for her trade’s sake, The hotel rooms were turned into diess- ing rooms as 9 consequence, and the way the “maids”? few about, perplexed out of their wits to Know just exactly whai they were folng alter when they did go Gown stairs to see “that boy” who was kept run- Ling messages t the miliiners all day loug, was enough to make @ bachelor’s bioed run cold.

Trey did thelr best to 100k as disinterested as poss ble when the subject of the hop was mentioned, but it was ail no use; and if there hadn’t been an exira supply of waiting maids on nand when the awfui task of dressing began the consequences migit have been very disastrous indeed, When the wsk was almost over, and the tme had come to go o 6the ball, and the stage superdatendeilt ad called out “All aboard for the hop” there was more flurry, more calling for “Jane for tits” and “Julia for tuat,” and “Wheie is that siip- per? and “Oh, I'll never, never get ready in time )? than ever. The beli boys looked aghast at the ex- eltement, the clerks laughed in their sleeves, and everybody who had begun to dress at six o'clock won- dered what had mae the tinge by so quickly, and could it be possible that thafNaughty Superin- tendent Coleman had turned the hands of ‘the clock just to enjoy the fun? It was positively outrageous to think a woman could get herself into gating and silks and put on her adlamonds and have that panier to set just as a cadet would like it to set, and all in tiree hours, The plaints were loud and inany, but the cry “Ali aboard for the hop!” again made. the loiterers bunaie up aa best they could, and soon the picturesyue road that leads from Cozzens’ Hotel ‘to the post was alive with carriages and stages, each one crowded with its quuts of youth and beauty done up in silks, tie lords of creation, who could not get a seat inside, naving io content themselves with 8 seat up siatrs on the ruof, ‘The evening was p scleaii one, however, and no- body who had to take the ‘outslde” found fault, and 80, While the ladies chatted and made up THEIR LITTLE PLANS for the destruction of cadet affections, the gentle- men smoked their Havanas and talked military, poll- fas, virtué and its reward, and upon other con- gental themes, The hop began at nive o'clock, and there was a crush from the start, although late during the night the crowds thinnea out “Ger. man” in the Acadian building and the ball at the mess hall.

One wishes certain men appointed and the other doesn’t, and, consequently, between tho two, General Sharp has a lively time.
