Picnles- ChiIdrens Festivals -EeO> |
phlgen College IN Tennes-
see and Mississippi-Shower need
ed Brisk wind Yesterday even
ing-The Worsham House.
This is the season Of the year for
Picnics, the woods are full of wild flow
ers, the spring waters are yet cool and
sweet, and the temperate air yields just
the right proportion of those vital gases
necessary to make existence itself Joy.
Our Memphians show disposition to
make the most of the season and eonsG>
quently picnics are just now the rage
The German Protestant Sunday School
enjoyed delightful one at James Park
on Monday. They paraded the streets
headed by the Old Memphis Band before
going to the rendezvous, and to-day St
Georges Society has its annual picnic,
which are always IN the highest degree
enjoyable, embracing in its programme
of amusement, not only music, dancing
| and feasting but the sports and games of
the old country. Tomorrow the Societa
di ItaIiana have their annual reunion,
and the Monumental Picnic, under the
auspices Of the Confederate Relief AS
sociation will be gwen at the same
charming resort the first week IN June.
No one enjoys the festivals of the Happy
month Of May so much as the children
and they should be made peculiarly de-
lightful to the little ones that in after
life they may love to recur to those gala
days of their individual history.
Neophigen College, a large fourishing
school at Gross Plains" Tenn, where
the experiment Of cO-education Of the
sexes has been on trial for the last ten
months, was burned down q week ego,
the students losing all their clothes and
| some of them narrowly escaping with
their lives. Although the students have
generally dispersed TO their homes, the
energetic management have already
commenced to rebuild and the exercises
will speedily be resumed. The crops in
Tennessee are coming out briskly but
are not ahead of them in Mississippi
Down there cotton is being chopped to
q stand, and corn is beginning to grow
finely. Ruin, however, is needed both
by garden and crops. a brisk wind
sprang up yesterday evening about suns
set, but the light clouds sailing before
it soon passed away leaving no prospect
of season" soon, and to-day is hot
enough to do credit to July.
There is q great deal of travelling just
now. and most of the country people who
come to town put up at the WCrsham
House. 1t is such a pleasant place.
One is received on the friendliest, kind
lest fcoting-servants are attentive,
meals well served, and combining all
the delicacies Of the season, and the par
lor is always attractive, last but not
least the charge is astoni-hingly moder>
ate, being only $3.50 On the bill Of
attractions this week Genes the "Genu-
inc and only farley" whose fame that
naestre of fiction, Charles Dickens, has
made Worldwide, whose wazwork show
contains beauties, historical and classical
characters as we'll as horrors the pro-
ceeds of whose exhibition is to be given
to the church. Then there is the Sacred
Concert Friday night by the Mendosohn
| Quartette Club at the Cumberland Pres
| byterian Church when the Orator. Of
the Messiah will be performed with a
chorus of seventy>fYe voices, and grand
orchestra of twenty voices.
