OUR GREAT HOME INSTITUTION.

4Hooc luUcIcSItu Ill the eSLaOllSnmenC OF
the Agricultural and Mechanical College,
for which purpose large sum of money has
been donated by the United States, were
doubtless pleased 10 learn through yester-
days Times that the Board of Control, after
much debate, had finally chosen site for
that institution.
With view of affording the pupils the
largest amount of practical information in
farming, and kindred pursuits, the man
ayers have selected, with usual foresight
and prudence, the lower floor of tue Uni
versty Building, corner of Common and
Baronne streets. This is to be fitted up re-
CARELESS of expense, and valuable chem
ical and philosophical apparatus, procured
from neighboring drug store, has already
been moved to the building ON a wheel
barrow.
The furniture for the accommodation of
tie pupils consisting of two long benches
and an old dissecting table. borrowed from
the dispossessed doctors, has been placed in
position while the large stove, recently
used in the main lecture room of the Medi-
cal College, will be converted into a boiler
to run the machinery of the Mechanical De-
partment.
The room formerly occupied by the Aca-
DENY of Sciences will be divided off into
beds or sections, and these, after having
been carefully filled with sand and brick
bats by the city carts, will be planted with
marbles and peg-tops, with view of fur
nishing a constant supply for the pupils,
thus preventing large outlay on the part
for their welfare.
To illustrate the advantages of the rota-
ton of crops and the utility Of hillside plow-
ing, the roof of the building will be utilized
alternately for pumpkins and watermelons
while the chimney tops will afford admira-
lie pots in which 10 cultivate the orange
and persmmon trees. Special attention is
to be given to the raising of the latter tree,
to attain the luxuriance possessed by it in
China, and compel it to bear fruit with seeds
growing on the outside. This alone is glo
rious end to look forward to in the future.
Thus it is seen that the public money
will not be wasted on the college, or
diverted from the uses for which it is de-
signed by the Board of Control, and that
everything has been done with view of
spending as little as possible on the institu-
ton.
Up to this time only two pupils have
been caught, both small boys, who until
lately have been connected remotely with
the newspaper business in this city. They
have been carefully examined by the eff
cient official appointed for that purpose,
and, together with the sixty-dollar curator,
will form quite a respectable audience for
the inaugural lecture-subject: How Not
to Do It,"

The Agricul; ural Congress.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 15.-The Committee
on Transportation, of the Agricultural Con-
gress, to- day reported that, while recognizing
the value of railroads, and necessity for fur
Their extension, deem the cost of transport
ing crude products of fields, forests and
mines so disproportiOnate to the cost of
water carriage as to render it the imperative
duty of the United States and Congress to
improve rivers in the interior. Connect
them with the ocean by artificial water
ways, giving the Mississippi Valley con-
tinuous water transit to the seabOard. that
it is the duty of Government to enter at once
into the work OF constructing artificial W a
ter-ways, adequate to the present prospect
i've demands Of inland transportation, con-
tinue it by an annual installment of aid,
until unrestricted waterways are opened
not only through the Mississippi Valley, bat
connecting that river with the Atlantic
Ocean, via the lakes, via the Ohio, Kan
awha and James Rivers, via the Atlantic
and Great Western.
Adopted unanimously.
Resolced, That the Agricultural Congress
believes it within the power of the people to
reform corporate transportation systems by
the same agencies that created them, viz
that we oppose State legislation controlled
by public opinions; that we oppose any
legislation under the plea of regulating
commerce between States which interferes
with the authorities heretofore exercised by
the State over railroads entirely within or
passing our borders. Adopted unanimously
Gen. Jackson was reelected President, e.
w. Green, Secretary. j. l.. Trimmed elected
Vice President, District of Columbia.
G. G. Green, Secretary, resigned. Geo. e.
Morrison, editor of the Wisconsin Farmer,
elected. Adjourned sine die.

VARIETIES THEATRE.-Last evening wit.
messed the assemblage of o fair audience ct
this theatre, on the occasion of the farewell
and complimentary benefit rendered to Mr.
Gerber by the Shakespeare Club and LIE Club,
Dramatique LOuisianais.
The programme was an attractive and
carefully selected one, comprising the favO-
rite plays Don Caesar de Bazan," "Le Piano
dc Berthe" and Lies Femmes Qui .Plen-
rent" There were also two ROTATIONS an
nounced and delivered by Mr.. J. Greasy and
Nine. Beauregard.
Gle Piano de Berthe" Mr.. Gerber, the
beneficiary, confirmed the high opinion
which the public had already formed Of hiM
as an artist and especially Of his rendition
of the character of Frantz The other per-
formers were excellent in their respective
parts.
Of the play of Don Caesar de Bazan, W.
must say, with impartial criticism, that Mr..
Braughn, in the title role, and Miss Waugh,
as Mariana, acted in q superior manner but
as for the character of Charles IL, King Of
Spain, the rendition of that part was simply
miserable, to say the least A more aw k ward,
spiritless and cold piece Of acting we have
seldom witnessed. We take this occasion to
compliment Miss Graves, who IL almost q
debutante, upon the marked improvement
she has made. If this young lady proposes
trust she may ever meet with the success
which her present dispositions fairly
promise.
ST. CHARLES THKATRH.-This evening tho
Newsboys' Variety Club will give perform
ance at this Theatre for tho benefit Of tho
sufferers by the overflow. The Inducements
offered by these generous lads together with
the worthy object of their enterprise should

their efforts in the drama. We understand
that Mr.. Robert Strong, acting for Mr. Do
Bar, has rendered to Mayor Wiltz the use Of
the Theatre for two evenings free Of charge

gratuitously. To this charge Mr.. Strakosch
has replied in card, in which it appears
that he offered the fair Swede the paltry
sum of $1,000 to sing in one act of an opera
on that occasion, which offer she thought fit
to decline. Now, says the Baltimore
american, as Madame Nilsson owes so much
Of her wealth to the munificence Of her i'm
pressario, it would have been graceful and
kindly act in her to have volunteered to
sing for him. Verify, great singer may
carry small heart.

The Germans of Cine innati are making

the song birds of her native land. few
days since 1900 birds of different varieties
arrived from Germany, and were set free
near the city. They Immediately began
work building their nests. Among them
are the nightingale, the skylark, and the
blackbird of Germany. A few birds i'm
ported and set free the year previous are
returning after the winter, and it is hoped
that those set free this year will do like
wise. Meanwhile the English sparrows inn
ported into New York a few years since to
