People Of every grade Of society poured
into the camp Thursday, and outwardly
seemed to take decided interest in rel-
gious affairs as then in progress under the
tall pines and majestic magnolias The
scene was novel to most Of the visitors,
which may account for some share of the
curiosity exhibited.
Bishop Keener and Revs. Matthews, Wat
kins, Tudor, O'Halaran and others pursued
their voluntary duties with great ardOr,
throwing every talent into the work Of re-
deeming sinners. Their works have not
proved fruitless, for scores of sensitive visit
ors walked to the anxious seat, asking for
fervent prayers to assist them in wrestling
with contending spirits.
Prayers and hymns we're chosen with an
especial view TO convince and convert, and
this camp meeting has awakened religious
feeling that can not but finally end in in
creasing the army of Christ. Gray-haired
men, whose minds are directed toward the
close of life, thoughtless youth, whose only
aim is temporary pleasure, are caused to
reflect on the present and on the future.
Words Of wisdom were not sOwn on barren
ground, as the fruit has suddenly followed
the bud and blossom.
A continuous stream of people wendell
toward the camp from morning till night,
and many remained on the ground all the
time. The locality itself has attractions for
the giddy or those who contemplate. Two
mineral springs flow Increasingly, only
few feet from the sea beach; outrageous
trees, sweetly perfumed, furnish ample pro-
lection from the sun; singing birds fill the
air with harmony, and there is freedom
from annoying insects. sa--
The camp will be broken after tonight,
but the buildings and improvements viii
remain. 1t is understood that other rei-
giOus denominations Can hire the premises
temporarily for nominal sum.
Here is another improvement which can
be directly charged to the credit of the rail
road. The company has rendered service
to the meeting, and perhaps lost trife by
its accommodating spirit, but a sure return
will come for the investment.

st. Theresa;s school Annual Concert and
and Exhibition.


Last night st. Theresa's Hall was crowded
in every corner to witness the annual exhi-
bition of the pupils belonging to st. Theresa's
public school. This school, although but
short time in existence, only having been
built two years ago, gives education to up.
wards Of 200 children, who IN that short
time have made wonderful progress, under
the immediate supervision of Rev. Father
Kenny and staff of qualified teachers.
The exercises last night were opened with
an address by Master Thomas Toole, which
was very well given and received with
much applause.
A lengthy and interesting programme
was then carried through. G.
Among those who distinguished them
selves the most was Thomas TOOle, in the
song lover There, in which he was loudly
encOred. His recitation of Robert Emmet's
speech was also well received.
I" The Conquered Banner and /" The
Reply" recited by Joseph Lecourt and
James Collins, came in for well merited
praise.
Master John Fleming, although very
young, sang with great effect the laughable
song of Johnny Sands" in which he was
encored and appeared the second time.
The farce OF the Smoked Miser' was
decided success, and created a great deal of
merriment. Mr.. j. Ward, in the character
of SpinalelinbS, was certainly very success
full, and kept the audience in a continuous
roar of laughter. Mr. r. Fox, as the 1fiser
Landlord, also came in for his need of
praise. The other characters were well sus-
tanned.
Professor Theodore Won La Hache, organ
list of st. Theresa Church, presided at the
piano with his usual ability, while the st.
Mary's cOrnet band discoursed some excel
lent music during the evening.
At the close of the entertainment the
audience were addressed with a short but
impressive speech by the Rev Father C.
Moynihan, in which ne urged the parents
of the pupils, who had already made such
rapid progress, to come forward and assist
Father Kenny in his endeavors to continue
the prosperity of the institution. He also
urged the preference Of religious to secular
schools.

The Grand Combination Festival.

This grand affair, which commences at the
Fair Grounds next Sunday, will, beyond a
doubt, be one of the most enjoyable that
has taken place this season. Under the
auspices of four Of the crack companies of
the fire department, it can not help being
anything which the most anxious seeker
after sport could possibly desire There
will be trotting matches, IN which the very
best horses will be entered. Running races
for ponies, in which there are already en-
tered twelve crack nags; trOtting races for
butchers and bakers horses, mule teams,
and mile races with hand engines, tourna-
1nent for boys, foot races, balloon ascension,
and, in our opinion, the most interesting OF
all. match base ball game between the
the renowned champions, the Lone Star
Club and the invlncible R. E. Lee Club.
This game will be for the sum of 500, con-
tributed by party of gentlemen, and will
be by far the most closely contested struggle
ever had in this city, as both clubs will, I'M
doubtedly, put forth their whole strength
before such an audience as this festival will
gather together. We would not miss being
present for a great deal, as the national
game will there be played in its very best
manner.

BARNES HOTEL, MISSISSIPPI City
Every one who has paid visit to this house
this season has come home in positive rap
lures with it. They say that the people Of
the Southwest can now assert what they
never could befOre-that they have a really
first class hotel. Even people who have al
ways been moderate in their manner of ex-
pre- ssing their approval Of anything, when
speaking of the present management Of
this establishment, use strong and emphatic
language and boast of it as a triumph at
last achieved where nothing had been done
before. We always thought that should
first class hotel ever be kept on our lake
shore that it would prove a success; but
somehow no one with the necessary amount
Of brains and enlightened iberality took
the matter in hand until Major Hurd and
Colonel J. o. Nixon, in happy hour, leased
Barnes Hotel. This place is the most
favored of all our coast watering places
naturally, and seeing this, they determined
that it was worthy of their best efforts.
The result has. been a most happy one for
all of our people, as they can now see for
themselves, at very moderate expense of
both time and labor, whstit is that attracts
such numbers to the Northern summer re
sorts-a hotel kept on the most enlightened
priueiples-a place where the guest has no
ungratifed desire to mourn over. Such is
Barnes Hotel.

A SCENE IN CoURT.-The EDening Time

SCENE IN COURT-The EUening Times
of yesterday has the following
In the Second District Court, on Wednes-
day, during the trial Of case, the evidence
being given by witness was objected to
by one of the attorneys, whereupOn his OPP
ponent, rising up to his full height, his eye
flashing fire, and turning upon his rival,
suddenly burst out with--"You are a con-
temptable liar and DID scoundrel, sir; /
won't stand this" and other violent ex-
pressions.
"Mr. -" said the court "if you re-
peat that I will have to send you to jail"
As if accepting the gauge, the attorney
then and there did repeat his declarations,
to which the court once more made the
same intimation. Thoroughly heated by
this time, Mr.. Attorney rolled forth again
in thunder tones:
Il mean no disrespect TO the court, but
have known this fellow since he was foot
high, and repeat that he is a scoundrel."
Fortunately the turmoil now ceased, and
the court adjourned.
Upon afterward being asked why he
didn't knock his traducer down, the assailed
gentleman replied: II once chased him out
Of the courthouse with a chair, and went to
jail for it; don't want to repeat that eXpe-
rience."
