Tb big hull of tile lioniiul college of tbe city of New Vork at Bixtyilub street end i'nrk avenue was filled with an audience of 2.000 people Thursday morn ing who had come to see the gratia tee of this year's class in the closing exercises of the school. Those 278 are now fully qualified, as their diplomas attest, to touch in New York's publio schools, rtoticeuble among the grudu- tee was a group of fifty who wore col ore of orange unci white fastened with pins bearing the motto, "Tentanda via est," concerning which one of the wear ers confidently Informed a friond that it meant "get out of our way. This group was coniosed of the acv demio part of the class, "A. C. 6th," in school parlance, aud they are the first girls who have ever received tbe degree of bachelor of arts from any publicly supported institution in this country, This caused no marked difference in their appearance, however, from that of their less forttinnto sisters, except in the colors and pins they wore. There was discernible in their countenances, how. ever, a subdued consciousness of their Importance in being the first class ever graduated from the Institution to attain tbe lofty generul scholarship indicated by class average of over 00 per cent. Around the bachelor band were seated the normal graduates, 233 strong, wear Ing lavender and white colors and pins ornamented with their class motto. In tbe seats back of the white mass of graduates and in tbe overhanging gal leries tbe audience was closely packed, while In the front was the platform where sat the dignitaries of the day. A large number of policemen were scattered about the hull, as if fears were entertained that tbe bachelors, in cele bration of their newly acquired inascu Unity, might institute a college rush or do something equally subversive of normal school decorum. The exercises passed off without any such disturb' ance, however, from the salutatory of Harriet JI. Ruschen to the valedictory delivered by Linn, Hull. The programme was agreeably diversified by some very good singing by the normal college glee club, who reflected great credit on their training, both in the selection and ren dition of their songs. After the essays and distribution of the regular prizes, School Commissioner Clara M. Williams, who is herself a graduate of the normal school, awarded four prizes, one to the girl of each class having the highest standing, and then announced that two prizes, one of twen ty dollars, the other of ten dollars, were to be awarded for the best essays on General Grant, the Grant monument committee having offered the prizes. One of these was offered to the College of the City of New York, but the stu dents of that enterprising institution complained that it was too near exnin iuation time to work on essays, so the prize intended for them was added to the one offered to their more industri ous sisters. The prizes were won by Ethel Btebbins and Estelle Forsch beimer. When the exercises were over the fifty bnchelors led the way out, curry ing their diplomas beuring the new col lege seal of Minerva sitting in a circle of ivy, the college plant, clasped to their manly bosoms.

Some member of the Cureun Mission Sunday school on Manhattan avenue has hit upon a novel idea in the way of a general birthday reminder. It has been a pleasant habit in tho Berenn Sunday school to endeavor to recognize in some graceful way the birthday of every ofil cer and teacher of the school, but this endeavor was often frustrated by the natural modesty of some of the intended recipients and the equally natural for- getfulness of the other mombers where so many dates had to bo kept in mind. In order to remedy this and to make it certuin that no one can by any poa sibility be forgotten, a reminder has just boon printed on curds and distributed. These curds contain the mimes and ages of every ofhVer aud teacher, to gether with the dny of the month on which tbey were born. Brooklyn Let ter.

Au Kngllab officer tells the following strange and most uncanny story, which ought to be given as far as possible lu bis own words! "A great friend of mine, a fel low named I), one of 'Ours,' was en gaged to tbe daughter of an old clergy man In leircHtvrshire. They were awfully in love with each other, aud were to be married in ten days; he had asked me lo be his best man, and all the arrangement were completed for the wedding wlieu be received a tclegmphio message from tbe father of his bride, to say that she bad been taken suddenly ill and to come al once if he would see ber alive. "Of course lie started for their place I in mediately, and was so completely cut up about it that I went with him feeliug that he ought not to be alone in such a condi lion of mind. We found the sad news ouly too true; the poor girl was dying, and as they both greatly desired that be might have the right to be with her until the end, the old rector performed the cere mony, and they were made man aud wife. It was the most aflectlng thing I ever saw, Her mother drew off her own wedding ring, which the poor fellow placed on the finger of his broken lily of a bride, who lay there so white and wan, the only calm member or the agitated group. "iuree days afterward all was over. Unable to bear his old life, I) sent in his papers and left the service, For several years I completely lost trace of him; and then, from an English surgeon who bad proUered his services to the German au thorities during the Franco-Prussian war, I heard a tale so weird that it might well seem Impossible. Finding the monotony or his lire unendurable, D , It seems, eu tered the French army, and without much dilficulty, through his previous couneo tlons, obtained a commission in one of the regiments which bud been ordered to the front. "After the battle of Sedau, among the many who had been carried to the hospital mortally wounded was I) . 'Was It a a vision V he thought, that, us he lay dylug, he saw bending over him his old love, his dead wife, in the garbof a sister of the Ked Cross. He suw the startled whjte fuce and the deep blue eyes that be knew so well nil tilled with an awakening wonder, There was a shurp cry, and the sister swooned away. DEATH THIS T1MR, ANVWAT. The surgeon in attendance hurried up. and giving iier in charge of some of the other nurses, returned to tbe excited muu, who insisted that he had seen the fuse of his dead wife. The shock was too much forhiseufeebled condition, his wound broke out a freshaud in a few hours he was dead. "On leaving bis patient, who no longer required his services, the doctor found the Ited Cross nurse delirious with brain fever. Over uud over again she lived what seemed to be the lust weeks of a previous existence. She was a happy, promised bride she was girlishly excited over her trosseuu and pretty presents she talked proudly of her handsome and devoted lover uud finally of a solemn deathbed wedding. That was all over and over she seemed to live again a former period of her life but of the time since the doctor hod known her there came never a word. "A year or two before he hud been con nected with oue of the Loudon hospitals. aud had been Interested in this woman, who boil iKien brought there und placed lu the ward for the insane. The only point upon wulcli her nil ml seemed allccted was that she had uo recollection of the past, und seemed entirely oblivious of ber own idea tlty. Her name had been given us Mrs. Clark, und the people who left her hiul never appeared again. "liut she died without recovering con sciousness, and the mystery was unsolved Among 1 's effects, however, the doc tor found a lotter directing that bis few papers, etc., should be sent to me in case of his death; uud u photograph lu a frame Which was so marvelously like the dead woman that ho ut once wrote and gave me all the particulars, not ouly of U 's death, but of 'Airs.

He forwarded ut the same time a plain gold ring, which wasou her linger when she came to the hospital, and which bad simply a date of thirty years back en grnved inside the rim. Feeling that the strange coincidence for it could lie noth lug more was hardly enough to warrant me in disturbing the family liy ntvnkeniiig painful memories, 1 concluded at II ret to say uothiug ainut it; but the affair trou bU-d me, and ut length 1 grew fairly haunted with tbe idea that there was more in it nil than I liked to thluk possible. I llnully round myself en route for the 1-eicester shire village without any clear idea of what I really Intended to do. 1 here I found changes; the old rector uud his wife hud both died; their ouly remaining child, a son, had gone over to Canada, where bis wife s people lived. I knew no one, all me races were strange to me. I felt tbat eerie sense of living in the past, of having nothing to do with the present, tbat comes over one sometimes. While waiting for the afternoon truln which was to take me buck, I wandered luto the churchyard and sought out the graves of tbe old couple nnd of my friend's bride. 'Mary' was written on the liencl stone, 'beloved wife and daughter dit-d May 15, IS' But did she die then or lutiic ufterf That is what haunts me to this day." 'Do you mean that she wus burled in a trance!'" said the listener. "That is whut I believe," he answered. "I think that her rescuers were afraid of the law, and Hud ing signs of life, hurried her to a hospital where her entire lapse of memory tempted them to keep the matter forever a secret.' New York Tribune. The (iaiue ul Living WhLt. Since the living chess game played In various pastoral festivities some yean ago, aud the representation of the same gums in one of the comic operas, there has been nothing more charming than the game of "living whist," which has been one of the features of the Masonic bazaar, held in the grounds of the Royal Dublin society, at Bali's Bridge, near Dublin, for the purpose of procuring funds for the Masonic orphanage. Lord Pliinkot, arohhishop of Dublin, Inau gurated the bazaar. The most attrac tive feature of the entertainment was game of "living whist," in which the cards were represented by tbe Masonic orphans, who had been previously drilled to absolute tierfection. Here is de scription of the game: To represent the card table a large cloth is stretched ou the floor, at the sides of which the four players only take their seats. To the sounding of a bugle call the living cards enter in pro cession, the kings and queens all attend ed by their knaves and aces, and guard ed by the smaller cards. After tbe four suits have taken up position the court cards begin a stately dunce, in which the smaller cards join. Then the music ehanges, becoming more lively. It grows quicker and quicker by degrees, until the whole pack gets apparently Into disorder to represent "a shuffle." The trumpet sounds again and the cards open out, disclosing in the center a little blindfold page, who "cuts" the pack with his wand. Then the "deal" commences. The page leads the trump card to its place, and the other cards move around to quick music, arranging themselves In fonr lines, oue on each side of the table. Another bugle call aud the cards step around, fuce the players, step off the ta ble and sort themselves into suits. Each player in turn now calls out his card, which turns about and moves into the middle of the table to a dance measure, nnd so to the end of the trick. The win nlng player now calls the winning card, who, accompanied by the partner's card. takes captive the other two, walking them off to the comer of the table where the tricks are placed. After all tbe tricks have been played and score called. at a bugle call the winning tricks form fours and march round the table in col umn, the beaten tricks, with downcast heads, following. Then the corner elec tric "candles" go out, and all is over. New York Recorder.

She be lieves in palmistry, and more than throe years ago had her hands examined, not by a professional, but by a woman well known in society and famous for her powers as a chiromancist Among othur things which the latter predicted was that the princess' engagement would greatly depend on the manner in which she acquitted herself during the few years following (which have now pussed), and that her marriage would raise her to a high rank, In which the greatest tact, care and policy would be required.
