Here am again with q few items. Sunday,

Father Chevalier and the Sisters OF Mercy,
made their First Communion. The church was
crowded on the occasion, although another
Mass was celebrated the came day at an earlier
hour.
During the day public attention was attract
ed by the erection of arches and platform in
the open field. Formed of oak leaves, on one
of the arches, was the inscription, "Ecce Pants
Angelorum." The platform, on which was
erected the altar, was raised in the midst Of
oak trees on the west side of the church,
At $50 O'Clock the ringing of the bells an
nounced that the solemn procession of tho
Blessed Sacrament was about to take place.
Tho church was crowded to sc ffocation, whilst
large numbers of persons of all ages and creeds
were gathered in it's Immediate neighborhood.
Father Chevalier was assisted by Rev. Father
Meerchaert of Ocean Springs, who, with q
large number of his congregation, had como to
take part in the ceremonies. Father Nicer

pirate to the occasion, announced the order of
the procession as follows: Cross banner ;
| ladies not connected with societies; young
ladies of Holy Rosary Society, with banner,
and wearing blue ribbons; married ladies of

tapers; Most Blessed Sacrament, over which
was carried, by four gentlemen, rich canopy

pounds to the square inch. That was, indeed,
dissgreeable. But almost Immediately followed
the counteracting pleasure. The Convent was
reached, and one Of the coolest seats near q
spleDdidly. located portico secured. Theneefor.
ward it was o continual increase of delight.
Interesting dialogues, beautiful ballads,
mirth.provoking ditties and choice declsma-
tiOns made mp the programme, with occasional
instrument sf music very well performed by Miss
NJ. Timony, Miss Mellon. or one of the other
young ladies who formed handsome groups ON
the tastefally decorated stage. There was
nothing fat about the entertainment-every-
thing being sprightly and well rendered.
Among the many young ladders deserving
mention for recitative abilities may be particu-
lsrized the Misses johnson and jackson. The
musical education of the pupils was most re-
markedly evidenced by their rendition of an
operetta, "Laila," tho cast Of which was as

A sweet tribute 70 the memory Of our darling little
ATE n c. BRENNER Accidentally swined BY
The young lady graduates Of St Simeon's School.
The bloom Of life had scarcely dAwned
Upon you, Katie. mild,
Time was too short to realiss
Your virtues, angel child.
Like . bright and golden sunbeam
You smiled upon all,
Like a bird you charmed US. little one,
In dear st Simeon's Hall.
But ere We truly felt the spell
You weaved of grace0 rare,
An angel oped the starry blue
And called our darling there,
To glitter a. the purest pearl
In heavenly homo away,
To chant the infant virgins song.
To watch DER NJ and pray.
Fro death had closed your laughing eye,
Sweet Mary from sbove
From highest heaven, where she rsigns,
Oped wide her arms Of love,
And called our precious little one,
Our Katie, sweet and mild,
To wear her badge Of azure hue,
To be her chosen child
A sunbeam bright. Papal ZouAve,
Sweet Jesus favored flower,
warbling bird our Lady's rose
From loved St. smeons bower
That gladdened hearts Of ono and oil
With winning wayo awhile,
Then gently went when Jesus called,
In homo OF bliss to smile.
