LASS =DAXY—OPENING EXERCISES—ORATIONS, FORTRY, ETC. Prixcetox, N. J., June 26, 1876. Tie town has been filled with visitors from divers fnd distant places during the day and more than 2,000 Persons have witnessed the college exercises, Not- withstanding the intense heat the greatest enthusiasm has beeo manifested by the graduates and their friends and even the Faculty laid aside their ordinary austerity And Joined 1m the merriment. The opening exercises were held at the Second Pres- dyterian chureb, At precisely eleven o'clock the orchestra began a selection from Tannhauser, and the salutatory, by Mr. Frederick A. Marquand, of New Fork (who was also Master of Ceremonies), followed. fhe salutatory was brief, and referred im a gracetul Way to the recollections, the bitter recollections and Me joys of student life. ‘The class oration was deliverea by Mr, g Walter Lowrie, of New Yor Following the oration came the recitation of the tlass poem, by Mr. Willam J.

CLOSING CONCERT—A BRILLIANT AFFAIR, Poucuxxxrais, June 26, 1876. The chaotic hail of noise which fora fortnight back bas intlumed the air about Vassar came to a head last night inthe shape of «concert, brilliant and artistic in a high degree, and the top of Professor Ritter’s head, which has also borne a stormy appearance as of, much perturbation, returned to its normal state of smooth- oss and satisfaction, Vassar bas ever held a reputa- tion for a high class of musical culture, Boarding school ‘music’ is not taught here, but the classics of harmony, the literature of sound as given to us by Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner and Ritter, So perfect a musician as the author of the “History of Music”? can be relied upon to keep trash trom his classes, anda glance at the programme of last evening #ill show the basis on which this reliance rests. That b is programme would not be slurred over, but ren- dered with brilliant éclat, Professor Ritter’s reputation as a teacher will testify; that it was given with a beauty and artistic finish not to be expected the Hxratp bears cheerful witness, A cool evening, suc- ceeding a day of biazing heat, made, THR RECEPTION OF MUSIC apleasure and not a pain. At eight o’clock the col- lege chapel was filled to repletion by the students and their guests from near and far, The chapel was bright. ened by several standards of roses and other garden flowers intermingled and by baskets of daintily ranged grasses and dasies. These, with the variegated dresses of the students, formed an excellent eye-rehef to the audience and helped much toward the general enjoyment of the music, At ten minutes past eight the white cravat and dress coat of Protessor Ritter showed signs of restiosaness, aud immediately after the rapid, brilliant “Ballade,” by Reiecke, claimed attention, The following is the programme in detail:— PROGRAMME, Part L. Ballade, op. 20, Reinecke; Miss A. L. Durand. Pastorale for the organ, Merkel; Miss Sburpe. Mia Picvirelia, Gomez; Miss McDonald. Valse, A flat, op. 42, Chopin; Miss Robinson, Gavatina from ‘Der Freischiitz,” Weber; Miss Ja. cobs, Concerto, E flat, first movement, Dussek ; Miss Logan, Part 11. March from ‘“Tannhduser,’’ Wagner, Liszt; Miss 8. D, Watson, La Separazione, Rossini; Miss G. KE. Bliss, Barcarolle, Thalberg; Miss L. G, Shaw. ‘the Water Lily, KF. L. Ritter; “Why Dost Thou Weep, My Child?” F, Raymond Ritter; Miss Jacobs. Rbapsoaie Hongroise, No. 6, Liszt; Miss L. A. Blies, “Jours de mon eniance,’’ “Le Pré aux Clercs,” Herold; Mass Large. Rakoczy March, Liszt; Miss Stevens. To criticise or to compare would be cruel. The “old stagers,” mainly Mise Watson, the Misses Bliss and Miss Stewart were, of course, the favorites, Miss Watson, in the grand “Tannhiuser” march, with its trumpet call to the very soul, and Miss Stewart, the pet of the college, in the intricate “Rakocay Marci,” scorning the score, but missing not a note, slurring no runs, shading her expression with the most exquisite nicety, were exceptionally good. The latier piece, by the way, was played by Miss Stewart at the SPKCIAL REQUEST OF DOM PEDRO on his visit to Vassar, and though yet studying it she won more than usual plaudits tron: his not over-enthu- siastic Highnesa Ibe vucal selections were all good. Miss Jacobs, who is of a verity a “sweet singer of Israel’—and what ape, herman can be paid higher to this tair descendant of Miriam?—tavored tbe audience twice, and was each Ume enthusiastically applauded. Miss McDonald, with arich, deep voice, carries away many bonors by her singing and many of the hearts of the young men present by her e: both of which did good execution, Miss G. E. Bisa and Miss Large are likewise deserving of praise. In sbort, all did their duty, and ‘‘angels can’t do better.’’ LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. SENIOR CLASS DAY EXERCISES—THR SPREAD EAGLE SPEECH. Eastox, Pa., June 26, 1876, ‘The regular exercises of the college was brought toa close this morning by tho examination of the under classmen in their Biblical studies.

MINISTERS’ CONFERENCES. ADJOURNMENT OF THE METHODIST MINISTERS YOR THE SUMMER—THE BAPTISTS ON PAs- TOBAL VACATIONS—A RABBI WHO BELIZVES IN CHRISTIANITY, BUT PREACHES JUDAISM. The Methodist preachers held their last meeting and the brethroo made their last speeches for the season yesterday and then voted themselves a vacation until the second Mouday in September (11th), Yesterday was a kind of free day, so that President Willis did not hold the brethren strictly tothe rules Hence, before the order of the day was taken up Dr. Rossvalley, a recent convert from Judaism to Chris tiamity, was introduced and addressed the meeting He was converted 1n the city of Washington, where he was practising as a physician. A Presbyterian brother ‘was the means of leading him to Christ. He was im- mersed by a Baptist brother, but be found that there ‘was moro spiritual fire and warmth among the Metho- dists than in the other denominations, and he has united with the Fleet street Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn, Rev. W. C. Steel, pastor. He felt so strong a desire for the conversion of bis brethren of the Jewish faith that he came North four months ago and opened four special services for Israelites in this city and Brooklyn and the results have been remarkable, he first opened meetings at No. 69 Second avenue, where Brother Alman, a Baptist minister and a con- vert also trom Judaism, has helped him very greatly. ‘The new convert gave several instances of remarkabie conversions, EVANGELICAL VS, DENOMINATIONAL WORK. Mossrs. Livyd, Vorter, Corbitt, Harrower, Dickinson discussed the relative value of union evan- gelistic work and devominational work, and they came to the conclusion that the latter is the best, Taking Messrs, Moody and Sankey as the best exponents o¢ the former Mr. Lioyd remarked that the results, so far as his inquiry and observation could ascertain them, were nut favorable to union efforts. He was not able {o trace more than 250 Hippodrome converts who had united with any church bere, It has been reported that Dr. Tyng, Jr., had received 300 into his church from those meetings, but Dr. Tyng had told him (Mr. Lioyd) a short time age Lbat he bud received only durty-Uve who could be traced to those meetings. this aggregate Mr, Lioya considered avery small result for the expenditure of $50,000 and ten weeks? timo of 10,000 peuple concentrated iu three services daily. And yet even this success was depeudent upon the vue nan power. D. L. Moody was the alpha and the omega Of those meetings. He decided tor Mr. Sankey what bymus should be sang and for others what Scrip- tures should be read or how lung a minister might preuch, And he woud tread on Dr, Jobo Hall’s toes a» quickly a8 on any other man’s if he overstepped the umit, The success of the Gospel Tent services ceutres in like manner around Dr. Tyng, Jr., anu that accounts lor a lew uights ago when sev- enty-live stuod up lor prayers aud forty were converted. Union efforts are comparative failures, Mr. Corbitt wabsequently styled them “grand ecclesiastical farces,”? and Mr. Dickiuson thought the converts were sort of Jelly ish without theological backbone anu therelore of small account to any church that they might joi, Aud indeed they did not care to unite with any denon. ination, but geen 10 float around among all For six months the churches of the Ninth ward bave had Ubion services, Wit an average attendance on Sunday afternoon of 2,000, und the result he velieved would not exeved thirty-six converis, Mr. Harrower ugreedin the number of converts, but thought the average altend- unce was placed wo bigh ; that 900 would be neurer rigut, When Mr. Lioyd applied to a Baptist brother minister who had lavared 1m those meetings, to immerse u con- vert who Wished ty jon Washingion Square Methodist Kpiscopal church, that brother retusea unless the can- didate would submit to an examination belore and vwnite with the Baptist Churoh. Hence Mr. Lioyd cou- cluded that union was only skin deep—ike beauty— and that when it came to tue pinch the Baptisis were not willing to recognize the Methodists as 4 Curistian church. PORTER AND KNAPP. Dr. James Porter gave u very humorous account of his pitting against the lamous Jacob Kuapp. Every lime that Knapp went down to the Jordan ihe Doctor ‘weut also, aud be could gous lar into tas Knapp, And when the weather became two cold to go out be bad the Jordan turned into his church, as weil as Knapp had to his, aud be (the Doctor) placed a litte tire under und wnelied the i¢e and baptized his converts by immersion.

He reierred. with pleasure to Dr. J. benry Miller, of Greenpoint Baptist church, who is one of bis immersed converts. tu view of the warm weather the Baptist Mintsiers Conference spent their time discussing the best mode Of spending pastoral vacations, A paper was road on the salject by «Rev.

CLOSING UP BUSINESS FOR THE SEASON—THE MINISTERIAL BELIEF FUND. The Brooklyn Presbytery met in Aluslie street Pres- byterian church, KE.

CHILIAN GOLD SEPARATOR. } Foreign Exhibitors Comp’ain of United States Customs Exactions, © Purcapenrata, June 26, 1876. About 100 feet from the southeast corner of Machim J ery Hall may be seen one of the first locomotives ever run on American rails. [tis generally known by the Bot very eupbonious or particularly American title aj “John Bull,’ ay it was built’ in Neweastie-upon-Tyne, England, in the early part of 1831. It was shipped to this” “* country in the same year, and on its arrival at the port of Philadelphia it was carried pioce by piece in wagons to Bordentown, N. J., the northern terminus of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, which then extended only three and a balf miles south of Bordentown, At it is without a tank or pluce for carrying fucl, a tender was constructed by placing a whiskey cask, on @ truck used in making the roads and adding to th: front a bux for wood. Considerable difficulty aros when it came to connecting the extemporized tant with the pamp, but this was finally disposed of by a Jersey shoemaker, who, after some days’ labor, pre- sented the delighted company with a leather hose, which was found so well adapted for the purpose that for years afterward, all simiiar pipes were made after the same patiern. The engine as originally con- stracted had a cylinder of pine inches, with a twenty- ineb stroke, only one pair of driving wheels, four anda half inches in diameter, aud another pair of independent wheels of the same size. The dimens.ons wore after. ward somewhat changed, but the genefal de- sign of ,the engine was not altercd, Tho smokestack if of the sbort, straight old fashioned kind, and the boiler seeing ridiculously con- tracte’, The entire engine is only about ten feet im length, though it is made. to look almost twice as long by the addition of a pilot, which extends to a distance of eight feet beyond the iront. This makes au extra pair of wheels necessary to keep the clumsy contrivance off the ground. The driving wheo's are constructed un- der the body with the piston rods instead of on the outside, and the steam chests are pl ced directly under the smokestack, Attached to the engine is a rude tender, closely resembling a woodshed on rollers, and behind this are two old-time vehicies, which, no doubt, attracted more attention than the parior, dining, sleeping and palate cars do nowadays, These'cars, only about twenty-five feet long, are low roofed, roughly finished, * and are dimly lightea by windows even smaller than the diminutive openings of the Moorish villa They are not so primitive in construction as the ancient side seat cars which not inany years ago were attached te small freight traius, but as exhibiting the next stage of progress they possess an interest pceeuhar to’ them selves. This model train of » half century ago stands on a short stretch of track in close proximity to sev. eral exhibits of modern triumphe in steam raitway transportation, and as it is generally admitted that the rapid extension of railroads has done more than al) other causes combined to develop the resources uf the United States, the contrast between th2 vld and the new 1s very suggestive, CUILIAN AMALGAMATING MACHINE, In a special building erected for the purpose, atvus 100 feet west of Machinery Hall, is now being set up one of the most elaborate working models in the Ex- position. This is a model of the Chili amalgamating ma chine now in use at ope of the largest Chilian gold mines, The original machine is said to have cost $300,000, while the model alone cost $13,000. The gold ‘ é © 4, or silver ore is first sent through a series of § cylindrical pulverizing mills, worked by steam > From the mills the foe dust runs into a Stream ot water which carries it over a series of slightly inclined planes in order to caich the particles of gold, which of course sink and remain on the bottem. The diner atoms ure then coud: cd through a long row of revolving barrels, where, by means of quicksilver aud some secret preparation of icals, the amalgamation of the precious metal, 02 paration from the powdered quartz is completed. Adjoining this mode! ig a miniature furnace for ruuniog the gold into ingots, aud all the apparatus necessary for He aataastnd it for transportation, &c. Though the a mating mac! necessarily covert @ great deal pace and custs a fortune to mauw facture, it Is con tively simple in construction and 1s said to work vast quantities of ore in half the time generally consumed, at a) centuge of waste so,small that the largest estunate yc. wade pute the gure wifhip three ounces of gold to every two tons, In abouts week or ten days the model will be ready jor operation and the estire proce-s of separatiny the precious metals from tne quartz rock can be intelligently examined.
