Eahton, Fa., July 27. The annual commence
ment of Lafayette College Is a gala week in this
pretty town. The hotels are filled to the garrets,
nd the sfrccts are thronged with strangers,
jiany of whom have come back to the scene of
their early struggles and triumphs to relive In
Imagination the fascinations of college life.
Lafayette College from the snmmlt of a lofty
bill overlooks the wedlock union of the statoly
Delaware with the placid Lehigh; and the- bus
tling town lying at Its feet stretches its arms pic
turesquely across the narrower stream. A happy
location for calm living, quiet nerves, thought
ful study, patient Investigation an Arcadia of
rest! '

The lluronhmrraf r.
The exercises of commencement week began
at IfKIO A. M., Sunday, with Baccalaureate ser
vices In the Brainerd Church. Iuvocatiou by
Rev. Wallace Kadcliff, of West I'hiladelphia.
followed by (KlHth liyiun. Hebrews xi was reud
fcy Rev. Alex. V. Sproull, of Chester, Pa., class
ef lWiO; prayer by Kev. Darwin Cook, of Mer-
sal), Pa., dans of 1843, Rtid the 28t'.th hymn.
Rev. J. R. Hckard, D. D., Professor ol History
and Rhetoric in Lafayette College, delivered
the Bcrmon and address to tin; graduating class
from the text, Hebrew xii 1 -'J: 'Wherefore
seeing we also are compassed about with so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
wtight, and run the race that is set before us."
From amonjrst the many thought contained in
se verses, wo select for Illustration rather tliuu
lengthy proof the three following, which we would
apply, viz. : 1st. Kuit.li In the holy, the blessed, ami
trie invisible, is a power aide to conquer sin ami the
world. 2d. Heir-saerlllee. animated by this kind of
faith, is essential to nil great airrtriles f.ir g nil. id.
The great oldect of tinman existence! Is, or ought to
ke, to glorify ;ud by lives; ol self-denial actuated by
inch a luitli.
There have alwavs been men on ttw earth who
live nn invisible life, who see what others never saw.
They hear a voice which others never heard, and
have emotions never experienced by those who have
not felt the power of an influence from God. Men
renewed invert the estimate! of unrenewed men;
tliey see by the spiritual sight the glory of Uod in the
body of Christ, Jerusalem, the golden city, and Para
dise tho gardeu of (lod. Knee, la Athens, the
greatest political orator the world ever saw mode a
speech concerning the golden crown.
Paul's Epistle may also be called an
oration concerning the crown. Christianity
Is a religion of self-siicri'lce ; through the long hue of
17UU years the Church has undergone persecutions.
The blood of the martyrs Is the seed of the Church.
We are able to accomplish no worthy object without
self-sacrifice, and we must make much of it, if we
would do much good, (living money is a demanded
self-sacrifice, as is also the choice of a profession.
on reaching the third head of the discourse the
Seniors arose, to whom he said:
Uriitlemen of the Graduating Class : What 1 say
to all others, 1 say to you ; let it be your great object
to giorily God by lives of self-denial. Ton are com
passed about with many witnesses; there Is ever
more present with you the divisible God. It is the
fllce of faith to make clear such realities. Try so
to live that the woi id may be better; try so to live
that good nu n may ask, Who shall till your
plne.es ? You will be missed nt our daily
evening prayer-meeting; there Is not one of
you with whom 1 have not consulted as to your
splrttmil welfare. 1 need not hesitate to say that,
there Is not one of you wha dies not know that it Is
my heart's desire and prayer to God for you that
you may be saved. You stand on the shore ; you
are about to sail; two ocean s are before you: tho
troubled sea of life and tho boundless ocean of
eternity. Venture not ou the stormy ocean of
life without, making the JSible your constant
guide; have tree resort to prayer. With
out the nid of Jesus Christ, you will fail to
accomplish any noble object in life; you will
make everlasting shipwreck. May you rather be
found among those who shall constitute the army of
the redeemed in glory, beim of that heavenly host
who through faith subdued kingdoms and wrought
righteousness.
The Doctor offered a brief closing prayer, Implor
ing God's continued presence and favor upon this
graduating class s 'hey went into the busy scenes
of lifc.fcThe 273d hymn was then sung, and the Bene
lictlonpronouuced by Rev. A. W. Sproull.

Brainerd Kvancllrnl Soclrir.
The anniversary of the Rraincrd Evangelical

the sermon from the text, Luke xxiv, 47: "And

preached in His name among all nations, begin
ning at Jerusalem." The discourse was earnest
and practical on the world's evangelization. It
closed with the exhortation: "Gentlemen of
the Brainerd Society, it has often been said, 'Do
not dishonor the name you bear;' but may we
not to-night take a higher view, and say do uot

amount provided that ton others would double
their respective pledges. This oiler was

OHATION ltY GU KHNOJt I'OI.l.OCK.
The First Prei-byteri.ui Church was thronged
this evening to in a:' the oration before the
literary societies by lUo Hon. James Pollock,
L.L. 1)., ex-Governor of Pennsylvania. He said:
Permit nie briefly to tut Ircss you upon the charac
teristics of the age, an.l its demands upon the
American scholar. Ti n Hi, oft told truth, leading to
the practical and the real, is alone my object. The
characteristics of an age may be regarded as the ex
ponents of the mind aim morals of the people the
slgps and expressions of individual in union with
national character. Put they are more than these.
They are the operation ot causes then in operation
tending to the production of the grand result Indi
cated ; they are the impress of the agencies moving
and acting in the same direction, ami whatever
foims they may assume however diverse their
mode of act lou they an their part, and well fulill
their mission.
1 lie present Is full of eventful Interest. The world
is now In mighty movement In throes almost of
mortal agony reeling to and fro under the stuu
Dii g blows of some uns.-en and irresistible power.
There Is a generous light. Hashing across these dark
ei.hig shadows, reveallntr the characteristics of the
age in other forms more full of hope and promise.
Prominently marked upon theage.aud distinguishing
it I rem all others that have preceded It, is Its mental
activity Its Intellect unl progress and acquisition, lu
the midst of the activllliw that surround us, utility is
not overlooked. The tendency of the age is to popu
larize science, to simpiily its great truths, that Its
rich treasures may In isily communicated to tho
popular mind. Its ulilii . depends upon its diffusion
All monopoly is odious; i'io monopoly of science
knowledge-doulily so. T popularize science is not
to weaken it, nor will 'ctract from Its dignity and
'the age and Its act;. ;ties demand educated pro
fessional labor. Win K;,,,.dd not every dermrtn ent

Partlrnlnrs) mt the KnlMrny Accident nt Clnrkn
vllle. Special DtAptUeh to The Evening TVUffravK
Ci.arksvim.k, July2.S Ijtst night the pas-
senper train bound North, and duo here at 1'15
A. M., met with a terrible accident at Btidd's
creek, about nine miles south of his place. It
appears that as the train was passln; over tho
trestle the structure gave way, precipitating the
engine, baggage-car, and two passcngcr-cirs
Into the creek.
The enrs were smashed Into fragments, and
being piled on top of each other, made it ex
tremely difficult for the panic-stricken passen
gers to extricate themselves from the debris.
Immediately after tho accident, and before the
extent of the disaster could bo ascertained, the
cars caught fire either from the engine or the
oil used for illuminating purposes, and burned
rapidly.
Those who escaped from injury succeeded lu
dragging out the disabled, and, as far as known,
thof-e who were killed. Among tho latter are
Eugene Kiley, the engineer; the fireman, whose
name Is not known, and a New Orleaus cotton
merchant named Hugh McCall.
About one hundred persons were wounded,
the following seriously: Mr. Fountalnc, wife,
three children, and servant, of Memphis; Chas.
Brown, baggage master; Walter Wilcox, of
Clarksvillc; Mr. Stowo, of Eufaulu, Ala.; Colonel
J. J. Buekcndc, of the Patriot of this place;
Mr. Dugan, express messenger; and Judge Caul
kins, wife, and two children, of New Orleans.
Amongst those who are deserving of the
greatest credit for their heroic and humane as
sistance in caring for the wounded and adminis
tering to their wants, are Mr. Hamilton Tike,
son of General Albert Pike, Mr. Sanger, and Mr.
Wood, of New Orleans, and Captain Lowe, tho
conductor of the train. The cars were entirely
consumed.
This is the second time within three years that
this trestle-work has given way, and the oflicers
of the road are severely censured for their appa
rent criminal negligence. It is feared that
several of those injured will not recover. They
are all being cared for in the best possible
manner.
Another Account.
New Yokk, July 38. An evening paper has
this:
Cincinnati, July 28 A passenger train on
the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, when near
Clarksville, fell through the trestle bridge over
Btidd's creek. Tho train was destroyed by fire
with the exception of one car, tho engineer and
fireman both killed, and three or four others
killed, and about twenty or thirty badly
wounded.

Wasiiinoton, July 28. Considerably Interest
is manifested in the Cabinet session to be held on
Fiiday, to attend which the President comes
to Washington from Long Hrutu h. It is under
stood that the subject of applying the test oath
to the new Virginia Legislature, as well as tho
position the administration will assume with
reference to the Mississippi election, aud othur
will be fnllv considered, and divisions
ol opinion in the Cabinet regarding these mat
ters will give more iiiau imuiwir hhjiui muid hi

has been Instructed to do nothing about tho
test oath in Virginia until after the Cabinet
