Among the social events of im- portance is the Annoal Commence- ment of the Law School of How- ard University. Year by year these exercises grow in popular favor. An audience of rare selec- tion greeted the Class of ’88, on Monday evenivg last. On the platform sat the members of the Class, the faculty and the orator of the occasion, Hon. J. M. Lang- ston. After invocation, the sweet strains of “‘Erminie” elicited en- rapt attention and appreciation. Krause the favorite orchestrian is still popalar. Mr. J. M. Langston, a man of immense power and grasp of mind, delivered the address on “the preparation and deportment of the profession.” The orator traced the lives of a few great law- yers and drew from them salient and forcible lessons. The first step for a man of any profession to take, was to gain the mastery of himself. It was absolutely neces- sary to know the measure and capacity of his own powers. To Lyce um avd highly indorsed the Work and the manner in which it 's carried on. The Editor indorses “good work and is willing to S\ve a helping hand to all such. kuow oneself was no less a truth now than when inscribed on the temple of Adelphi, more than a thousand years ago. Yourself well mastered the first principle was understood. In the second place said the speaker, some mental or moral science should constantly be on hand. All men had some things in common. The mastery of yourself and a thorough knowl- edge of these two sciences ably capacitated a man for becoming a first class lawyer. A good lawyer wasin demand. A good speech delivered in court wonld make a place in the State. The people would say come out on the plat- form and talk:to us. Instruct us on some great constitutional ques- tion. We count the force of your jadgement to direct us. Thus the path of your fame and worth is made easy. After injoining the Class to be of honest purpose and integrity, and to study without cessation. The orator set down amidst sudden outbursts of ap- plause. The graduates were: Ulyses G, Haskall, J. Riley Dungee, Geo. W. Lewis, John J. Goode, Frederick K. Chase and and Geo. F. Wil- liams. Mr. Williams delivered the valedictory address on the *‘Rights of railway pgssengers.’’ It was a close well written article and de- livered in a deliberate manner. -_ YE COLORED DEMOCRATS.

The concert of the 8th school division at the Metropolitan church, Friday evening, May 25th, was a grand affair, and credit is due to the supervising principal, Prof. W. S. Montgomery, Trus- tee Cornish, Prof. J. T. Layton and the teachers of that division. The Bzx predicted long before the concert took place, that it would surpass any given by the schools. The church was packed from the entrance to the pulpit and never before in the history of the Met- topolitan church bas that edifice had such a crowd to assemble. Some of the most important teat- ures of the eorcert was the fun drill by Miss Julia Grant, one of the favorite school teachers of the 8th school divisions. Miss Grant showed her skill and patience in the drillihg of the young ladies, who took part in this tine exhibition. Infant cho-4 rus of 200 voices ander the direc: tion. of Prof. J. T. Layton proved that gentlemans fitness to handle five times that number of child- ren. He conducted this chorus with such dignity and ease that won the admiration of the vast aulience present. The wilitary drill by the Giddings school cadets, the wiuding of the May pole by 20 pupils under the direction of Miss Ella Campbell deserve special mention. The other in- teresting features were the tem- perence drama written by Miss E F. T. Merritt, a very talented young lady teacher, the geometric drill by pupils of the Anthony Bowen school, trained by Miss DON’T, Russell. Much credit is also due to Mr. Jefferson Thomas, who is 5 one of the most accommodating (From the Ocean.) janitors in the eighth division Monkey with the donkey-engine. aod aman who has the respect of ‘ F teachers over him Every one| Cina that you are ill when you left highly pleased with the con- cert of the 8th school division: The Randall school under the priocipalship of Mrs. M.

The table has a small draw for games, cigars We., centrally located on each of the four sides. These drawers have no focks and keys bui they are moved in aud out by means of a turned piece of wood which is also ornamented thus con- cealing every appearance of a draw- er.

With all the parts closed up the table has the appearance of being nothing more than an ordi- nary bat handsome parlor table, ex- posing no movable feature what- ever. The “Pyramid” is an entire- ly new: feature iu its eonneetion with any table, bat Mr. Davis makes it serve a double purpose. Tue pyramid is made to set apon the table bat it may be removed when its use is not desired. The Pyramid about 18 inches in height and has a series of three steps on each of the four sides and three drawers on one side with a writing leaf in the base which may e disposed of by sliding it into the pyramid. QOhe of the drawers may be divided into compartments for paper, envelopes, cards, Se., and ink wells. The other drawers are left open for miscellaneous par- poses, thus providing a convenient desk. The steps of the pyramid afford an excellent means of dee- oration and ornamentation with eut flowers, figures or toys. The ex- treme top being square whereon may be piaced a lawp, drop-light, statuette or Vase. As a centre-plece this table is superior to anything we have ever seen. At present the prices of the table range from $35 te $159, but in time Mr. Davis hopes to be able to get the price down to a much lower figure. He “has already secured several orders.
