A new age is dawning upon us; Hocw-ty is progressing j tyranny and des potism are trembling before the march of the oncoming civilization. The ideaol universal equality comes to ns frsim time immemorial. Republics are created by the virtue, intelli gent and public spirit of the citizens : they mr.y nevertheless perish iu an hour by the fully or corruption or jieglbjmce of their only (eer,rrithe iri'p'e. To this cau?e we most a.cnbe the failure f M.ciuit republics During the arbitrary and despotic feudal syatem we Hud the republican idea ;aiii at Uinpting to rai i'a l'd. The frc cities wire in a cerlaiu .ui-x republics ; mice, Ceima and Florence were full free Itepubli can citim. The lifteentii century maiktl the awakening ' liu-iuti thought and lib erty, the invention of the printing press, the compass, etc. Government became central ized and monarchy developed. Civilization is the precursor of republicanism; it paves the way which republicanism follows. France and Swilzerland in Europe have thrown off th moiiarcbial yok aud glory in free insti tutions. It i on the Western Hemisphere that we have the culmination of th repub lican idea. Her tyranny and depotism ar unknown. Fre speech and free thought rind a welcome on American soil.

COND Spoke op th aubiect "True National Life-" Thought ho said rr fuses t be ta tiouary, inttitutiont refut to change and the history of civilizati. n baa beta a a cons' quince on of ceaseless conllict. The pro gres of sivil lift has been found in th de. velupmtnt of trnth and justice and nation have outlived revolution only at they have bea iu sympathy with th spirit of tb age. Ia the history of human progress there seems to b a tendency to centralization of effort by the tacrihV of miuor difference for the general welfare. Ouly at nation have outgrown the bound preacribad for them in th past have they been able to keep with the spirit of the age and maintain thtm- aelvea in the great current of progressive thought. Governments are the resnltt of human genius. Nations are of a bight r and liviuer origiu. The essence of republican ism it the enactment of the popular will and ouly through the elevatiou of the millions may the agencies of civil change be raised aud the end of government meet the de mand of th time. ALICE DORRIS Chos as the theme of her essay "Cleansing Fires," Gold, said she must be subjected to the refiner furnace before it can serve its highest purpose. Man's heart is a diamond in the rough, and when its inequalities are chiseled rway it shows itself to Ve a priceless gem. Man's character may be compared to iron that needs the softeuing po'ver of the forge before th blows of the workman are ef fectual The human heart melted by the fires of adversity is fashioued to the seal of the di- ine pattern. As progression and retrogress ion are laws of nature and as exertion strength ens the mental faculties so trial and adversity aro golden opportunities for bringing out the manhood there is in man. Bjauty and frag rance are found in the hot bouse plant but for true nobility and grandeur we look to the mighty oak that has stood the stoim of ages. The ennobling effect of a miction on the soul cannot bo overrated. Through it man is lifted from a mere p&sdv existence into th real na ture and aim of life. Our late civil war was a cleansing fire to national existence. Christi anity is so potent a refiner that no tost brought tiKn it has been able to mar its grandeur. Un. ler its influence, heart rending trials but whit en ths soul for christian service. IDA DKSS'i Oration was ou the "Influence of Social Opinion." Man, moving in his orbit, crosses that of another and confronts bis fellow being. Social life springs from wbt was first a spirit of the individual; afterward it ia merged into an outward form and becomes an institution. To show this change the narrator would have to thread the hidden pathway of feeling. When humauity be comes unified this sentimeut becomes what is called snciul opinion. It is a great force, softening and beautifying huinnuity'a rugged brows ut times, and at other disturbing the affair of men. It make usages, Iawa and euforce them. Tho currant opinion of the aocial world ia the main leverage that baa hoiated publio opinion to it pedestal. Th cry for reform would never be answered if looia! opinion did not accord with it. Using impulse rather than reason for its guide, ao cial opinion, like Targuiuiu Priscus, cuts off th heads of those who do not roach its pro scribed level, aud substitutes for man's indi viduality one of its own devise. It i a grand leveler. It has erred iu what consti tutes true intolligonce and development iu saying that it is a waste of time for the far mer or mechanic to educate himself, aud the result is a multitude of professionals below mediocricy. It should favor real merit wherever fouid instead of buoying up ou so ciety's palms tb morally weak aud fraudu lent. Th miln-ttone marking its progress may be many, yet it has livod far below its possibilities. ARTIICR L. FRAZER Chose for the subject )f bis oration "Th Sci entific Frontier." The frontier of acicr.ee, he aaid, like the frontier of a nation, ia its line nf discovery and advance, its boundary and its defense. For centuries science was kept iu abeyance by the religious principle of tb age, which referred all phenomenon to th agency of the gods. But gradually men began to find defects and absurdities in their religion. After th founding of the museum at Alexandria followed a period of activity along the whole frontier and for the next three centurie an army of intellectual gianU were at work u th ing their way ateadily onward. At the begin ning nf the christian era the Alexandrian schools were rapidly declining. When christi anity came into power at Rome it denounced scientific inquiry, Then again a period of in tellectual darkness in Europe began and con tinued until the eleventh century. ' Then b gan the crusades, which brought the European into contact with the more civilized Ori ntal and gave an impetus to thouht and reflection. Since that time there baa been no halt, but J steadily, though often slowly, the scientific frontier has been pushed forward. To define the present boundary would b impossible; it is constantly changing and advancing. Many hard workei r carefully exploring new ground and penetrating the mysteries of other worlds. Though science for so many age was trampled under foot, though it bad the whole world for an opponent, it ba grown stronger aad more enduring with each contest with error. niEHTCK. y. uillkh' Theme was "Napoleon Bonaparte." Strug indeed, (aid he, is the web that aristocracy weave over the in.i cf humanity. In tim-s tlle'r long devotion to their tudies, pie of peace this renuint unbroken but when ; ented each of the tiUaa with their well revolutions come men of ceuius iio from the lowest rauki to tho hicheat pinnacle of fame. Uonaparte was of tins class: vuth an imagi nation as ardent, aud a mind ns versatilu aud vigorous as Hauuilul, be united a judg ment as cool and correct as that of Caesar, li thought rapidly and correctly, and while carrying on an almost endless tvarfare found time for the arduous dutie of the statesman. The devastating waves that covered a con tinent with the slain have been attiih uted to the insatiable ambition of Napoleon. Name a man who wa not ambitious mid you will nam one who never raised hit head above the common level of mediocrity. If he wns ambitious, his ambition was iiinep. arably connected with the welfare aud glory of France as a uution. We are accustomed to regard Napoleon at a modern Alexander wading through river of blood to universal dominion. Those opinions are derived from Eugliah historian, who wish to cover their enemies with disgrace; American writers have judged him as if he had grown up ou Puritan toil forgetting that be lived in an age of anarchy aud confusion. When in the far future tho names of his traducersare for gotten, when monarchies are a tiling of th past, aud the tacicduess of nobility forgotten the fame of Napoleon Bonaparte will stand forth bright aud imperishable. ' ' EVA IIOUEUS Selected the unique subject, "To Sweep t'.i cobwebs out o' th ky." fclie proceeded to poiut out cobwebs that had existed and others that still exist in the human sky. Thry are indeed delicate and flimsy things but be who should find the fabled fountains of youth or the alchemist's dream of the elixir of life cor.ld grant no better boon to in in thau the old wo man of the story if alia bad accomplished her purpose, stretched across tho sky nes so was the cobweb, " the divine riht of kincs."

NAIH.IK E. RKKUKNT Chose for the theme of bor essay, "Woman as Voter." At the crowuiug act of a century that has marked the establishment of equal ly woman asks that liberty bo procluimed to her. She has three classes of opposcrs; The first beliove that h'T enfranchisement is not necessary to justi'-e; tho second class be liove that by hor uatura woman is not adapt ed to taking part iu the allaiia of gove. u inent, and that it is just as well to let man poorly represent her as that alio iuelliciuutly represent herself; the third behold in the fu ture the destruction of the whole fabric of lociety if this measure prevail, il.-imtliii'' each of these classes in a in.tst.er!y, system atic swiy, Mis Scrgout vanquished each in turn, claiming for woman, however, whut man never received, freedom without acquir ing it for himself. Sim maintained th.it since one class of men ought not to Icgialato for another, man cannot properly rcp.-usnnt wo. man, and formerly man supported woman while now lie has forced her to rely on licr own exertions for support. Sho said that in stead of t lie moral influence of woman being lost whin that inllticnee is armed with the ballot it will be only tuoro potont for good, that man and woman will work to- outlier as iu tho pint, that gre. t deference will he paid to her on account ol iter lining a voter, nod that h mug more nt stake slm will strive harder to overcome might with right. nciiniE r.

II'CORNACE, Whom the cl:is selected as valedictorian, chose a the theme fur her essay, "The Higher Edu cation of Woman-'' In tiiuee past very few women cared t acquire a lilwrul education. V'ignrous Intellect and firm purpose were not considered admirable qualities in woman. The lady of society must danee and dress well, i Chivalry, while assuming to protect tho weak only made a doll and plaything of woman. For manv years it wrs impossible for nnv but the daughters of the wealt ay to obtain a higher education. Civilization is awakening to the fact that woman should have as wide an inter est as man in all that is now expanding human thought and enterprise. Minerva is now ex tending her sceptre of truth and her crowu of knowledge to woman. When we think of the ureat influence that woman must exert in the hiniuiv, in society, in the Stale, we feel that knowledge is iuqiurtaiit for tut iiece.iary a wifrk. Woman has already advanced to the highest statious in art and science. '1 be ranks of physicians, Imtanista, geologists, iiivciitnrs, authors and other higher avocations aro being filled by woman. There is a great work for the enlightened woman; to soothe, to solace, tohtlpaod to heal; to lift is t tli poor and suirering ; to lead the tempted and doubting back to light und purity. Home is to be en nobled and beautifi;d. society purified an 1 ele vated, and a new spiritual aud moral force' in stituted iu the world. VALEDICTORY.
