 Academy In TucsOn-Larse Att
 tendance and Interesting Exer-

| scph opened an Academy in Tucson for youn- ladies' They may be said to have | been the educational pioneers iH this city. Upon their arrival they foundnO organized school in a place of 3,0O0 inhabitants. Surely there was much need of the insti- tuition they established and have % ad F. irably and successfully conducted to the close of its first year. Probably under no other auspices would such gratifying ad vancement have been attained. The Sls- ters possess tine highest educational facul- standing of the branches taught, they are remarkable in attracting their pupils at tention, acquiring their confidence, and inspiring educational tendencies in their minds. Their address is pleasing to all, and their patience incXhaustible. But few can appreciate the educational condition of the mass of their scholars one year ago, and fewer would willingly believe it, were they informed after witnessing their first annual exhibition on Thursday. Their system of education is comprehen- sive, and embraces all branches necessary l to the accomplished woman. Order and department have thcir due share of at tention.
 The exhibition commenced at $50 A. M. and continued to 12 NJ. The pupils were all neatly attircd in white at the opening, but during the exercises some changes were made to suit the parts acted. The room facing the platform was crowded with spectators, among whom We may mention General George Crook, Chief Jus tce Titus, Colonel Thomas s. Dunn, and Captain J. L. Johnston.

 During the entire exercises, expressions of applause were frequent and emphatic The advance of many in the English lan- guage was quite remarkable, ard specially noted by visitors. The musical attain ments, on the piano forte, of Misses Vas quez, Oury and Orosco were marked, and large number displayed creditable pro- ficiency in vocal music. Without intend ing to slight the merit displayed by any in any particular, we cannot resist remark ing the admirable acting of Miss J. Bor- quez, in the character of Mathurine, the old nurse, in the drama of "True Virtue Rewarded" She is possessed of the comic element to great degree, and in the role named was irresistibly droll and mlrthful in quiet, sclf-possessed way. We have seen professional stars do worse and get roundiy applauded. We would gladly specially mention others, but our lack of space forbids.
