Tho Uaccalaiuentii sermon hy the Pres ident, Rev. Mnleoin Douglas, D. 1)., was nn able nml eloquent discourse, well suited to the orraslon ns n palling address to tho graduating class. The vocal and lustiiiineiilnl concert on Tuesday evening was .successful, musically. Cadet. Dorr was ninong the participants. The day opened by Infantry di ill on the parade ground under the immediate com mand of Cadet Capt. A. M. Bailey of Montreal, P. (J., under the supervision of Gen. Edward II. Ripley of Rutland, who expressed the greatest satisfaction with the poldicrly hearing and discipline of the cadets. Tho precision of the movements, the grace of carriage, which distinguished the individual cadets elicited admiring rc inaiks from the spectators, while their rapidity in making deployments nnd rallies in skirmish drill ilrow out even open ap plause. Tho nitlllery drill, under Cadet William Ripley Dorr, of Rutland, was the next cxcrcUe. The cadets of Norwich Univer sity claim that they have 'dismounted, mounted und tired their section of nrtlllcry in a second less time than the cadets at West Point. On this occasion, however, they were a second over that time, but It was done with precision and in a soldierly manner. The firing of thirty guns closed the exercises. During the time of the military exercises, the cadets quarters, l'cc itations rooms, library nnd cabinet weic thronged with visitors. The walls of the recitation rooms were adorned wllli arch! lectural, meclinnlcal, topographical nnd military drawings, executed by (he engl neering class. The exercises of the graduating class took place 011 Wednesday. The three host orations of the day all came last, and were delivered hv three cadets from Rutland, as follows : Character Cadet Corporal Archie L, Sheldon, Rutland. Elements of Success In Lift' Cadet Ser jeant Paris A. Eastman. ' Wfler the Rattle, with valedictory Cadet Sergeant AVilliam R. Dorr.

Tho oration before the trustees bv Rev. V. 1!. Flanders of Chester, was a sehohuly and eloquent production. The poem by Capt. Charles A. Curtis, of the United Slates army commandant, was well received. A reception was held at tho president's esidenco from eight to ten o'clock. After the reception, occurred the feature of com mencement of most Interest to the young ladies of Norllifield the "hop' ;lvcn by the class ot 1873 nt the Northlleld House.

I said I could not go alone, because I conld not speak foreign languages well, could not get up In time for the early train without help and could not find my way. I said it was enough to have the bliah on my hand?; I did not v!h to have every- thing piled on 111c. Mr. Blank was then ordered to go with me. I was not so Ignor ant as I appeared, but I do like to liavo somebody along to talk to when I go abroad, : THE ORRAT NATIONAL CONt'NDIIt'M. When 1 got home I sat down and thought tho thing all over. I wanted to go into the enterprise unilcrstnmlingly. What was the main thing? That was Uiequestlon A litue reflection intornicil inc. x or two weeks the London papers had sung just one continual song to just one continual tune, and tho idea of It nil was "how to impress the Shah." These papers had told all about the St. Petersburg splendors, and had said at tho end that splendors would no longer answer; th.it England could not out. do Russia in that respect: tlierefoic some other way of Impressing the Shah must be contrived And these papers had also told sll about the Shiihstic reception in Prussia and Its attendant military pageantry. Kng-- land could not improve ontlint sort ol thing ; she could not impress the Shah without sol- licrs; somctliingH'lso must be tried. And so on. Column alter column, page after pago of agony about how to "impress the Shall." At last they had hit upon a happy idea a grand naval exhibition. That was itt A man brought up in Oriental seclusion and simplicity, a man who had never seen anything but camel nnd such things, could not help being surprised and delighted with the strange novelty of ships. The distress was at an end. England heaved a great sigh of relief; she knew at last how to impress the Shah. Jly courso was very plain, now, afler tiiat hit of reflection. All I had to do was to go over to Hclgium nnd Impress the Shah. J lallot! to lorni any dellnitc plan as to the process, but 1 made up my mind to manage t somehow. 1 said to mvsell, "1 will im press this Shah or there shall bo a funeral that will lie worth contemplating. MAN'S IXIir.MAXITV TO MAN, ETC. I went to bed then, but did not sleep a great ileal, tor tho responsibilities were weighing pretty heavily upon me. At six: o clock in the morning Mr. Jllank camo and turned 1110 out. 1 was surprised at this and not gratilied, lor I detest early using. I never liku to say severe things, but 1 was a good deal tried this time. I said I did not mind getting up moderately early, hut I hated to bo called day belure yesterday. However, as 1 was acting in a national ca pacity and for a cuuntry that I liked, I stopped grumbling anil wo set out. .1 grauu naval review is n good tiling to impress a Shah with, but It lio would try getting up nt six o clock in the morning but no mat ter; we slarted.- THE SUMMER IIEAVTV Ol ENGLAND. We took the Dover train nnd went whis tling aiong over tho housetops at tho rato of -.. n,ii an hour, and just as smooth y and pleasantly too, its 11 wo wero in a sleigh. Uno never can nave anything but a ten- vague idea of what speed is until lie travels on an l-.nglisli railway, imr "lightning expresses aro sleepy and indolent m com parison. We looked into the hack wind ows of tlio endless ranks of houses abreast and below us, and saw many a homelike little family of early birds sitting at their breakfasts. New views and now aspects of London wero about me; tho mighty city seemed to spread further and wider in the clear morning nlr than it had ever done be fore, there Is something nwe-inspiring nbout the mere look of the figures that ex pros the population of London when one comes to set them down in a good large hand 4,000,000! It takes a body's breatl nwny, almost. We presently lelt tlio city behind. We had started drowsy, but we did not stay so. How could we, with brilliant sunshine pouring down, the balmy wind blowing through the open uimlows, and tho Garden ot J-.den spread nil abroad r wo swept nlong through roiling expanses ot growin;. grain not a stone or a stump to mar their comeliness, not an unsightly fence or III kept hedge; through broad meadows covered with tresli green grass ns clean swept ns if a Irooni had been at work there little brooks wandering up and down them, noble trees hero and there, cows in tho shade, groves in the distance nndchttrcl! spires projecting out of lliem ; and there were the quaintest old-fashioned houses set in the midst of smooth lawns or partly hiding themselves among flno old lorest trees : and there wns one steep-roofed an clcnt cottage whose walls ail around, and whose roof, and whoso chimneys were clothed in a shining mail of ivy leaves ! so thoroughly, indeed, that only one little patch of root was visible to prove that tho house was not a mce House ol leaves will; glass windows in it. Imagine that dainty little home surrounded hy Flowering shrubs and bright green grass and nil sorts of old trees and then go nnd try tn imagine some thing more bewitching. LANDMARKS OF THE AGES. By andhy we passed Rochester, and, sure enough, right there, on the highest ground in the town nnd rising imposingly up from among clustering roofs, wns tho gay old castle roofless, ruined, ragged, the sky beyond showing clear and blue through tho glassiess windows, tno wans partly ciauwuii ivy atlme-scnrreil, weather-beaten old pile, but over so picturesque and ccr so majes tic too. There it was, a whole book of English history. I had read of Rochester Castlo a thousand times, but 1 had never really believed there was any such building before. Presently we readied the sea nnd came tn n stand l.ir out on a pier; and Hero wn borer and more history.

Thcro were no curiosities in the vessel except tho passengers nnd n placard In French setting forth the transportation fares for various kinds of people. Tho lithographer probably considered that pin card n triumph.

Ustend Is a curious, comfortable lnnklnir. massively built town, wliero the people speak both the French and the Flemish with exceeding fluency, and yet I could not understand them in cither tongue. Hut I will write the rest nbout Ostend in to-inor-row's letter. AIIOt.'T THE FLOUNDERS. Wo idled about tills curious Ostend the remainder of the afternoon nnd far into tho long-lived twilight, apparently to amuse our selves, but secretly I had a deeper motive. I wanted to see if there was nnvthino hero that might "Impress the Shah." In the end was reassured and content. If Ostend could impress him England could nmazo the head clear oil' his shoulders and have marvels left that not even thu trunk could io indifferent to. These citizens of Flanders Flounders I think they call them, tliouch 1 feel sure I iavc eaten 11 creature of that name or seen it in an aquarium or a menagerie, or in a picture or somewhere are a thrifty, indus trious race, and aro as commercially wise nnd far-sighted ns they were in Edward the 1 ninis time, ami ns enduring and patient under adversity as they were in Charles tho Hold's. Thev are nrolifln In the mntler ''of children: in some of the narrow streets every houso seemed to have had ufrjshct of children, winch had burst through and over (lowed into the roadway. One could hard ly get along for thu pack of juveniles, nnd they were all soiled nnd nil healthy. They an wore wooden siinc. which clattered noisily on tho stone pavements. All the women wero hard at work j there were no idlers about the house'. Tho men were away at labor, 110 doubt. In nearly every loor women sat nt needlework or something of that marketable nature they werfc knit ting principally. Many groups of women sat In tlio street, in the shade ot walls, mnk ing point lace. The lace maker holds a sort of pillow to her knees with n strip of card board fastened on it, on which the lace pat tern nas noun iMinciiircii. 311c sucks bunches of'pins in the punctures nnd about them waves her web ot threads. The num berless threads diverge from the bunch of pins liko the spokes of .1 wheel, and the spools Irom which the threads arc being un wound form the outer circle of tho wheel The woman throws these spools about her witli living lingers, in nnd out, over awl tin der each other, nnd so fast that you can Hardly lollow the evolutions witli your eyes. In tho chaos nnd confusion of skipping spools you wonder how sue can possibly pick up the right one every time, and espe cially how she can go on gossiping with her mends all tho lime and yet never seem to miss a stitch. The faces theso ingenious I- lounders were making were very dainty and delicate in texturo and very beautiful in design. FLOUNDER .MORALS. Most of the shops in Ostend seemed do voted to the sale of sea shells. All sorts of figures of men and women wero made of shoINi enrtwna composed ot grotesque and ingenious combinations of lobster claws in the human form. And they had other ngurcs manc.oi suincii irogs some lencing, some harboring each other, and some wero not to be described at all without indecent language. It must require n barbarian na lure to bo able to liiul humor in such nau seating horrors ns these latter. These things wero exposed in tlio public windows where young girls and littlo children could sec them, and in the shops sat the usual hairy lipped young woman waiting to sell mem. A SlNGl'LAR CONTRIVANCE. There was a contrivance attached to tlio better houses which Iliad heard of before but never seen. It was an arrangement of mirrors outsido the windows, so contrived that tlio people within could see who was coming either up or down tlio street seo all that might be going on, in fact without opening tlio window or twisting themselves into uncomfortable positions In order to look. A capital thing to watch for unwelcome (or welcome) visitors with, or to observe pageants In cold or rainy weather, l'eppld 111 second ami third stories, Had, also, nnoth or mirror which showed who wns passuv underneath. A FI.ANDEll's HOTEL. ilie dining room nt our hotel was very spacious nnd rather gorgeous. Ono end n it was composed almost entirely of a single pane of plate glass, some two inches thick for this is the plate glass manufacturing region, you remember. It was very clear and hue. If one were to enter the placo in such a way ns not to eateli tlio sheen of the glass, he would suppose that the end of the house was wide open to the sun and tlio storms. A strange boyhood instinct cam strongly upon me, and I could not really enjoy my iiiimer, l wanted 10 break tha glass so badly, I have no doubt that every man feels so, nnd I know that such a glass must be simply torture to a boy. This dining room's walls were almost completely covered with large oil pnintin; in frames. iiowhiev "kuef hotel" there. It was nn excellent hotel ; the utmost care wasiak'cn mat evcryiuuig snouiii go rignt, 1 went to lieu at ten and was called at eleve to "take the early train." I sald'I was 110: tho one, so the servant stirred up tho next door ahd he wns not the cue; then the next door and the next no success and so 0 till tho reverberation ol tho knocking were lost in the distance, .down tho hall, and I (ell asleep ugain. They called me ut twelv to take another early train, but I said I was not tha 0110 again, and asked ns it favor that they would bo particular to call tho rest next time, but never mind mo. However they could not understand my English; they nniy said something in reply to signity that and then went on banging up the boarders nnnuof whom desired to tako the early train. When they called mo nt one, it inado my rest seoui very broken, and I said if they wouiii skip iiiu at two 1 wouiii call uiyselt not really intending to do it, but' hoping to uegiiuu ijio porter nnu deceive nun. 110 probably suspected that nnd wns nfrnld to trust me. becauso when ho mndo h i roum nt that hour ho did not tako any chances m me, Din routed mo out along vim 1110 011 ers. I got eoino moro sleep ntior that, wis. when thu porter called 1110 iitthrw J ft'" "e" pressed nnd Jaded nnd Krently discouraged. Su I garQ.it up nnd dressed myself. I ho portar got mo n cup of colleo mid kept mo nwnKu wmio 1 urniiK it. 110 wus a goon, well-meaning sort of llounder, hut really 11 drawback to tho hotel, I should think. l'oor Mr. Wank came in then, looking worn nnd old. Ilo had boon eaHvd for in. all the dlllcrent trains, too, just ns I had. He said it was a good enough hotel, hut they took too much pains. While we snt there tulklng wo fell asleep anil wero called again nt four. Then wo went out und dozed about town till slv, and then drifted aboard the Lively. HER MA.IESTt'B B II 1 1- THE LIVELY. Sho was trim and bright, nnd clean and smart ; sho was ns hnndsomo us a picture, The sailors wero in bran new man-of.war costume, nnd plenty of officers were about tho decks in the state uniform of tlio ser- ice cocked hats, huge epaulettes, claw hammer coats, lined with white silk hats nnd coats nnd trousers nil splendid with gold lace. I judged Hint theso wero nil nd mirnls, nnd so got nfrnid and wcntr.shore gain. Our vessel wns to carry the hhah s brother, nlo the Grand Vizier, several Persian princes, who were uncles to tlio Shah, and other dignitaries of more or less consequence. A vessel alongside was to carry the luggage, and a csscl just ahead (the Vigilant) was to carry nobody but just the Shall and certain .Ministers ol htato and servants, and the Queen's special ambassador, Sir Henry liawlinson, who is a Persian scholar nnd talks to the Shah hi Ids own tongue. I was very glad for several reasons, to find that I was not to go in tlio same ship with the Shah. First, witli him not imine- latelv under nn eve I wmilil fnel lo rn. sponsibility for him; and secondly, as I was noxious to Impress him. I wanted to practice on his brother first. THE WIAll'rt CII'AIITF.I'.S. On the after deck of the Vigilant verv handsome ship a temporary cabin had been constructed fcr tho solo and special use of the Shall ; tempoiary, but charming ly sulistnntial and graceful aud pictty It was about thirty feet long and twelve wide. beautifully gilded, decorated and minted within and without. Among its colors wns n shade of light giecii. which reminds 1110 of an iiiiccdolu about tho 1'ors.inn par ly, which I will apeak of in to-morrow's otter. GKTHNO I'.EADV Fill! Ills KlIAII ,1111'. It was irettiii!' along toward the time for the Shah to nnlvo from Iirussels, to 1 anged tin nlong side my own shin. I do not know when I over felt so ill at case and undecided. ItiWirs" a scaled letter which 1 had bip'nglit' froin' Ihi; Admiralty, and I could not giieis'i what the purport fit might be. .-I Siipiiosod 1 win. Intended to command Ihe chip Mint is, I had sup posed it at Ural, hut. after eeing all those IilonilKl ollircrs. 1 hud 1 l sr.ni c that Idea. 1 cogitated a good de.il, but to in purpose. Presently a legimenl of l'elgiau troops arrived and formed in line along the luer. 1 lien u number ol people be-.Mu to spread down cm pets for llfly yards idonjr me pier, ny tue railway tracK, mid other carpetH were laid from" these to the ships. 1 be gangway leading on board my ship was now carpet ted and Its railings, were draped with bright coloted signal Hags. It began to lool: ns if 1 was expected : so I walked 011 board. A sailor immediately ran and stopped me, ami mndo another sailor bring a mop for me lo wipe my feet 011, lest I might soil the deck, wldcli was woiuieriuiiy clean mm nice. j-;vi(ienlly 1 was not the person expected after all. 1 pointed to the gimip ot odicers and asked the sailor what Ihe naval law would do to n 111 nn if lie woe to go and speak to- some of those admirals for thero 'was an awful air of cthmcttc und punctilio about the premises; but just then one of those officers came for.wai d and said that If his iutinct was correct 1111 Admiralty order had been eccn cu giving me npassago 111 tiiciiin, and ho al.-o said that he was the flrt lieu tenant, and that I was very welcome and he would take pains to make 1110 feel nt home, and furllierinoie there was cham pagne and soda walling down below ; and luttliermore still, all the London coires- pondents, to the number of six or seven, would arrive lrom isrusseu with the shall. and would go in our ship, and If our pass age wero not n lively one, and a jolly and enjoyable one, it would bo a very strange thing Indeed. I could have jumped for joy if I had not been afraid of breaking some rule of naval etiquette und getting hanged for it. THE SHAH ARRIVES. Now the train was .signalled, and every- body got ready for tho great event. The neigian regiment straightened itseil up.and some two hundred Flounders ui rived and took conspieuousposltlon 011 a littlo mound. 1 was a little airalil that this wouiii iinmess the Rhah ; but 1 was soon occupied with other interests. The train of thirteen ears came leai ing in, and stopped abreast the ships. Musie and guns began an uproar. Odd-looking Persian faces and felt hats (liiiinless stovepipes; appealed at the car winnows. Some gorgeous English officials filed down the cai pet from tho Vigilant. Thev stopped a long car with tho royal arms upon it, uncovered their heads ami un locked tho car door. Thru the Shah stood up in It nnd gae us a good view. 110 was n naiKisonie, strong-leaturcd man, with a rather Euinpean fairness of rnmnlcxiiu : had n mustache' woro spectacles, seemed of a good heiobt and graceful build and carriage and looked alioiit forty or a shade less. He was very simply diessed-brimless stove-pipe anil elosu-liiittoned dark green military suit, without ornament. No. not wholly with out ornament, for lie had a band two Inch cs wide worn orr his shoulder and dow n across lilsbicM, scaif fashion, whieli baud was one solid glory of line diamonds. A Persian olllcial nppo.ued in the Shah's rear and enveloped him In an ample quilt or cloak, If you please -whlcli was lined witli fur. The outside of It was of a whi tish color and elaborately needle worked lu Persian patterns like an India shawl. The Shah stepped out and Ihe olllcial procession formed about him and marched him down tho carpet and 011 Imard the Vigilant to slow music. Not a Flounder raised a cheer. All the small fry swarmed out of the train now. HIE COEKEM'OXDKXT.S EXOllEP. The Shall walked back alongside his line cabin, looking at the assemblage of silent, solemn Flounders ; the correspondent of the Loudon Tthyntpli, was hurrying aiong the pier and took oil' Ids hat and Inmed to tho "King of Kings." nnd the King of Kings gae a polite military salute in ic. turn. This was the commonceiucni of the excitement. Tlio turress of Ihe breathless Ttliymph man made all the other London correspondents mad, every man of whom flourished his stovepipe iceklcssly and cheered lustily, sumo of the more ciilhusi nstic varying the exercise by lowering their heads nnd elevating their coat-lnlls. See Ing all this,iind feeling that if.I was to' lin press the Shah" at all, now wns my time, 1 ventured u little squeaky yell, quite ills Hurt from the other shouts, but just as hearty. His Sliali-ship heard nml saw and saluted ine In a maimer that was, I con. sldercd, nn acknowledgment of my su perlor impoitaiue. I do not know that 1 ever felt so Ostenta tious nnd nlisuid before. All tho corres pondents nunc aboard, nnd then the Per sian baggage camo also, und wns carried across to the ship alongside of ours. When shu could hold no mora wo look some where nbout a hundred trunks nml boxes on board our vessel. 'IVo1xrs 1 fell Into tho water, nnd several sollprs jumped hi and saved one, but tio olher was lost. 1 imi-evcr, II probably contained nothing but 11 lew hundivd pounds of diamonds nnd tilings. U.NPUn WAY FOR r.NO.I.AN!, At last wo got under way and steamed out through n rough slip, Ihoplcrs 011 cither side being crowded with Flounders ; but never a cheer. A battery of Unco guns on the stiii hoard pier boomed n royal salute, and wo swept out lo sea, tho Vigilant lu .the lead; wt right ill her wnko, and the baggage, Miip m mils, Ithiii llltcen 111111-uti-H cy'crybiMly was well ncinialnted ; a general Jilllllcntlon set In, nnd 1 w-ns llior.
