MEMPHIS THEATER. AT least two thou
sand persons assembled within the walls
of the Memphis Theater last night to
witness the celebrated Lydia Thompson
Burlesque Troupe in Lurline The the
alter was crowded TO excess-standing
room being at premium. The per-
formance commenced with the CONNIE
detta entitled A Day in Paris, which
was well presented 6y the troupe, Miss
Thompson appearing to advantage in
three characters. The great burlesque,
Lurline, followed, with all its laughable
jokes, good singing, artistic dancing and
rich costuming. Miss Thompson as
Sir Rupert, the Reckless" Miss Wealth
ersbya as 'Lurline, the Naiad Queen" and
Miss Dubois as the Lady Una" were
received with long continued applause,
their songs being regularly encored by
the delighted audience. Beckett as the
Seneschal," was, as susual, immense.
Mr.. Willie Edouin, with his ballet corps,
fairly divided honors with Mr. Beckett.
The merits of the troupe are easily sum-
med up. They are good singers, well
trained to work together, are admirably
dressed, free from all vulgsrity, and the
burlesque they are playing contains not
0 single double entendre of any objec'
tionable kind. Good, new music, ex-
ceedingly well arrayed, handsome wo-
men, easy humor and the fine burlesque
acting of Edouin and Beckett, make up
an ensemble of solid attraction. At the
matinee to-day, the popular spectacular
burlesque, entitled Sinbad the Sailor,
will be presented, and at the perform
ance tonight the troupe will bid us fare
well in Kenilworth, which will be pre-
sented by special request.

The Maryland Agricultural Col


Prof. Register Of the Maryland Agricultural
College has made his report to the President,
Hon. Allen Bowie Davis, who laid it before the
Legislature of the State for their inspection.
This Institution has three hundred acres of
land connected with it, which is under cultiva-
ton by the faculty of the institution in con-
nection with the studies pursued in the school
and lecture room. Lectures are delivered in
connection with the study of chemistry and
other sciences, and the knowledge impaired in
the lecture room and laboratory is put into
practical shape by studous application and
illustration in the field, the orchard or the
garden.
1t is the aim of the professors to impart in
struction in Agriculture by careful observation
and practical experiment in the actual pursuit
of farming, and by combining with that, actual
knowledge of chemistry, acquired from the
books and experiments in the laboratory.
Sometimes students are called upon to aid in
themanual labor of the farm when the busy sea-
son comes, and they are paid reasonable COM
pensation for their services in this particular.
And in addition to this, classes or sections of
them are taken into the field.
While the products of the farm proper are
not as remunerative as could be desired, yet
the yields ofthe garden and orchard were more
than sufficient tie meet the demands of the
extensive college family, during the past year.
On the 10Th of December they slaughtered
thirty hogs, weighing 5,l72 pounds, averaging
1861 pounds each. The cost of raising these
was % cents per pound.
Beef is reared and slaughtered atan average
cost of 10 cents per pound. 1t is proposed to
plant peach orchard in the Spring, the ground
having been put in order for it. Last year
they produced us bushels OF oats, and about
$50 barrels of corn, the latter yielding about Ct
barrels per acre.
There are at present one hundred and twenty
three students on the roll, which number it is
expected will be increased at the beginning Of
the next Session which commences with
February.
An institution of this sort, combining the
study of the sciences with their application in
actual farming, should receive the earnest sup
port OF all who wish well for the future Of our
Agricultural interests They should do for it all
that is needed to place it on an equal footing
with any institution in the land.
