Commencement Exercises Thi'Tweiity-llfth Commencement of the Bed Cloud schools was, in some fe ititres, the most successful one in our history. The number of graduates was almost twice as large ns the larg est of the previous years. ') his is the result in some measure of the High Si-hool Law, which gives to the gradu ates of the country schools the privil eges of the city facilities for higher education. It Is uleo duo to the en largtuent of the curriculum which olTors inducements to the older boys to remain in school The number of boys who graduated this year and the number who aio maintaining their in terest in the lower classes Is hii evi dence of'this. The increasing hold of Mcritz upon the respect of pupils mid p.itrons is another cause of the improv ing efficiency of the school. CIhsk night was entertainingly oc cupied with n class play paitlciputed in by more than half of the memheis, Tliis was Intel spersed with a tableau representing "The Last Uose of Hum mer," and followed lv n Mnndo Mullcr 1t ill, which liiought out. the i cumin iug mumheih of the el iss. The Chief will not discriminate between the con duet of the several participants. They all did well, and the Chief is ptoud of each and everyone. Bishop Beechor's nddiess was in some respects a disappointment. Of course it was good of its kind, and we bow to the good bishop's judgment as to the choice of topics. He should know belter than wu what the proprie ties of the occasion demand. Whether we agree with the speaker in the selection of the .sub joe t of his talk or not, the profound respect we feel for his chaiacter, uud the warm applause with which we recognize his woik and worth in Ills high calling make a Bed Cloud audience eager listeners to any thing he may have to say. The Bishop wiis followed by Prof. Moritz, who biiefly reviewed the changes wrought in the twenty-live years of the high school life; and gave a general summary of the occupations of the two hundred and more gradu ates. About half of them were gradu ated during his occupancy of the posi tion of Superintendent. The piesidetit of the board, Henry Gilliam then presented the diplomas in words appropriate to the occasion He announced the names of the three whose standing for the four yeurs had been above niuty-two. Miss Fav Teol l.ad made an avciugo of over !),", Miss Isabel Maynard Ot, and Adclbcrt Kvuus reached it.'. Miss Teel's stand ing is t lie highest of which theie is a record preserved among the school registers She was given the Douue scholarship, a prize, hy the way, which Is seldom made use of by tho lenipieiit. Mr. Hvatis, we have oeen informed, really deserved tho highost lank dur ing the past ear, but the good woik doue by him In the latter pint of tho course suffered some depreciation' on account of the pooler showing made in his first yeais. Mr. Nilhaui explained that the students who did not live iu the district suffered some disadvantage in rank because of their failuie to be In the class from the beginning. The pleasant rivalry between the juniors uud the graduates in their class songs and yells entertained the audience as it passed out of the hull. The I let, orchestra furnished the music for both nights to appreciative hearers. Rev. Bayne and Be v. Cole were on the platform with Bishop Beeoher mid opened and closed the meeting. The Bishop when he came upon the stage required an Intioduction to those geutlemen, which suggested to our mind the permanent relations of the Bishop to this community in contrast with the transient connections of our local ministry, The chances are that the Bishop will be the ranking clergy man of western Nebraska for the rest of his life which should be many years to come. While he is not so often with us, there is uo question that the majority of the people unconnected - tw Weeks Each Year For St. 50 with any of the chinches regard him as belonging to them more closely, and more eiiduriugly, than liny of the resident ministry who come and go bo fore nu Intimate acquaintance can be formed. The Chief would bo pleased If the vaiious congregational churches would ieeogiiio this fact, and tender to tho Bishop, on the occasion of his rogular visits, t lie use of thclrbulldltig nnd hum of service, that the whole community moy be united, as they would gladly be, in some measure of subordlu.it Ion to the one clergy man of highest rank, and of umiucs'tinuod orthodoxy, whoso chaiacter, scholar ship and ability, united with sympa thetic, ellielent, practical ministry and command the highest regard of all.

Last year there was one divorce for ever six and llftysovcii liiindiedths marr iages. By far the major pai t of these dl voices were sought by women The reason is not far to seek. Whatever tho charge set foi th in the bill, the real reason iu ninny cases was the diseased condition of the groom. If this condition is sufllcleiit ground for divorce, It is also sutlloiciit for tho pro hibition of maniage. 2. The increase of pauperism, crime and vice. That those, are rapidly in ci easing, none candour; hut few know how rapid is the increase.

But this u commercial age and however blind our people are to spiritual things, their eyes are never too pom- to see a dollar.

This being true, we can ugiee that no minister of the Gospel or oflleial of the state ought to marry a c iiiple without they present a health cortlllcate from a reputable physician. We write to implore the clergy, the rightful leaders in all moral reforms, to agree with one another in their respective communities iu refusing to marry those who cannot present a clean bill of health By such uu agreement, brethren, you may nld gieatly in passing the de sired hill, uud diminish measurably the vice, the crime, the wretchedness ami the woe in our slate.
