We are sometimes told that 3 test Is too severe, bnt we think this -j an ror, and holding as we do that the teachers of iniruß'Gur Public Schools should possess a high *, Jffiordcr of intellectual culture, we are rjSS-unwilling that the teacher’s pro- shall be reduced in'.standard by a mild ®S|?,flnal examination. As the moral and intellectual Keif i •culture of the teacher is cared for, so do we im fwt' ’ prove’ the moral and intellectual tone of our Hf city’s children. It is indeed gratifying to And that each member of Class A to-day receives her 'diploma. No one has faltered. No one has fallen below tho high standard required. Each is richly entitled to it, not only by intel lectual attainment, but also by an •exhibition of those virtues and graces ■which add lustre to female character, and which in due season will be sbed upon those who may happily fail nnder their inflnonce and training. Pleasing as it Is to announce the graduation of each member of Class A, it ie even a greater plea ’ettreto add, that with one single exception, each Si ' u member U now to receive her certificate of quail* flcatlon. We sincerely regret - there is a single „ exception, but we feel that tho lady may bola her head as crcctas the others, whenwe an nounce that feeble health alone prevented her from completing her examination. She graduates to-day with distinguished honor, andvrill.stand high at the November examination’. 1- s*£ be pardoned if I refer by name to the hidjvwhtf ranked highest at the May examination.-* Mias Susie R. Mitchell, yon are at the"head of the llsr of 260 applicants, and yon graduate to-diy, tak ing, as It were, tho third honor. Tour average at the Teachers’ Examination was 87.1, and your graduating average Is 96.8. In the name of <ny associate Controllers,! extend to you personally, and ’to yonr whole class, our congratul ttlons, and also, these, our public thanks and praises, for the faithful performance of all your duties. May Ood speed and prosper you one and all, In your new avocation. ; ... ,• ... . As this Is tho Inst opportunity I shall over have of addressing an audience upon tho occasion of a Normal School Commencement, may I notnow claim for this school your warmest sympathy and yonr permanent and cordial support? It is tho corner-stone of our educational structure. Without It the whole fabric mußt fall. We shall soon appeal.to you, through our City Fathers, and I rejoice to* see so many with us to-day, for a new and enlarged Normal School edifice, with a training department. In this appeal we shall need yonr money, and your moral support; the latter, not because It Is essential, but rather be cause it will be gratifying and agreeable to us os Controllers, ana to our Fathers, to know that we are sustained by our respective constituencies In our joint efforts to subserve the cause of gen eral education.

The Peeil§ of New Inventions.— Whenever an individual or an association of individaalß de ; part from the beaten track, and discovering some new article for tho comfort and convenience of the pnblic, seek, to introduce lt to public notice, they are met upon the threshhold by carpers and cavillers who seek to detract from tho. merits of the discovery. It could not be expected that the Elastic Sponge Company wonld be able to escape the assaults of such parties, and It will be per ceived by4he subjoined communication that they have not done'eo: Editors Mercury: I observe that sponge Is about to be Introduced In the manufacture of matresses, cushions, &c. Care should be taken in preparing sponge for snch purposes. Its salt qualities will make it damp at certain times of the year,though tho sppnge should feel dry to the touch. Ir cleansed of its saline properties, it becomes de prived of that which gives it inanimate life, and makes it liable to swarm -with insects. Besides this, it mußt finally become as hard as a board, unless softened by the use of water, which would not be very pleasant. ' Health Now, the Elastic Sponge Company have no desire to shun investigation, and if “Health” had applied at their office, he would have been shodtn certificates of eminent Chemists vouching for the healthiness, cleanliness, durability, freedom from insects, elasticity, and general superiority of the article which they furnish. • He would#have learned that all the evils of which he complains arc corrected by the. use of glycerine, which is readily absorbed by tho tissues of thtysponge; will not oxidize or become rancid, and inll _ not, rot the sponge after being thoroughly cleansed of all its salt qualities. Perhaps,however, the truth was what "Health” was afraid of, as ho may have some lots of feathers or curled hair to dispose of Y EVEKING BULLETIN—PHI THE D AIL Atlantic Crrr.—For the Information of those ■ who desire spending the Fourth of Julv out of the city, wo will Inform them .that the Camden andAUantlc Railroad are nowrunning two trains dolly to the.

Do you feel weak, debilitated, ’easily, tired? Does $ lijttle extra exertion produce palpitation of the heart? Docs your livsr, or urinary organa, or yoor kid neys frequently got out of order? Is your urine some times thick, milky, or fiocky, or in it ropy on settling? Or does a [thick Bcum rise to top? Or is a sediment at tbo.bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you hive spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are yourj3owels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting or rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory ioa* pai red? 1b your mind constantly dwelling npon this sub* ject? Do you fool dull, listless, moping, tired of company, of life? Do you wish to bo left alone, to get away from even body? Does any little thing make you start or jump? Is your sleep broken or restless? 2s the luster of your eyes as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as well? Da you pursue your business with the same energy. Do you feelaß much confidence In yourself? Are your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits of melancholy? If so, do not lay It to your liver or dyspepsia. Have-you restless nlgbte? Your back knees weak,and have yoa but little appetite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver complaint?! Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly cured, and sexual excesses are all capable of producing a weak ness of the generative organs. The organs of generation, when in perfect health, make'tho man. Did. you ever think that those bold, defiant, energetic, persevering, suc ‘cjt&ful business men are always those whose generative orgiina are in perfect health ? You never bear such men complain of being melancholy, of nervouanees, of palpita- tion of the heart They are never afraid they cannot suc ceed in biuinees; they don’t become a&d and discouraged; they are always polite and pleasant in the comp&ny of ladies, and look you and them right in the face—none of your downcast looks or any other meanness about them. I do not mean those who keep the organs (y lnflamed bv running to excess. These will not only ruin their consti- tutions, but also those they do business with or for. How many men, from badly-cured diseases, from the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought abonl that state of weakness in those organs that baa reduced the general system so much as to induce almost every other disease—idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal a actions, suicide, and almost every other form of disease which humanity is heir to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and have doctored for all bat the right one. Diseases of these organs require the use.-of a diuretic.
