LETTER FROM vIcKsBuRe, MISS

| VIcKsBURG. July i25. 1878.
Editor Morning Star:
am surprised that amongst your various
CORE adents and contributors there should
be none from Vicksbnrg, and especially that,
although you have many Subscribers here, SO
few items Of interest ever appear in your ool-
| umns concerning the "Hnl City" As an ex-
ample of this. l do not remember to have seen
any reference in your papsr to the Annual
Com pmencement of the Academy of the Sisters
of Mercy on June 9th. I had hoped that q
pen more able and accomplished than mine
would have eagerly embraced the opportunity
doing some email measure OF justice to the
good Sisters of Mercy in return for their untir-
ing labors for the good of this community, as
we'll as to the young lady graduates, who gave
evidence of the fact that they bad profited
well by the opportunities afforded them for
thorough education, and were fairly entitled
to the honors conferred on them. By una
voidable circumstances the Right Rev. Bishop
Elder was prevented from being present, as
had been expected, and in his absence the Rev.
J. 81. MeManus, our esteemed pastor, presided
over the exercises.
The salutatory address by Miss Noland Was
of a styls both in composition and delivery,
far superior to the expectations Of even her
best friends, while for deep sympathetie
feeling and profound study the address, by
Miss J. Kearney has been pronounced by all
who heard or read it as admirable, and rarely
ezoelled by Young graduate" Miss Black
also gave most convincing proofs that
the knew of what she spoke in her essay on
Mind Culture, and that what she spoke was
not q quantity of empty and meaningless

real gem at that, was the Valedctory OF Mics

inclose you copies of the four eseays, and, if
you can find room, I AN satisfied, from your
known appreciation of merit, you will give at
least ons of them-if net MORE place in your |
colu INNS. In addition 10 the honsrs as 3 grad |
nate, Miss Fl. Kearney was awarded q bean

well the different actors understood the spirit
Of their respective parts and how ably they
conveyed by their words this spirit to others.
It would be almost cruel to make distinctions
as to the relative merits Of the leading actors
in this play. We cannot. however, but remark
that the bold yet ersy delivery, together with
the very clear and distinct enunciAtion of
Masters Toledano, Finney and Fisher struck
us most foroIby. Masters J. Duflho, as Ne
buohodoncs sor, and d. Craven, NJ Jeremlas,
although they bad very difficult, If not the
most difficult, parts to support, pleased us very
much and, like the above mentioned aotorr.
did great honor to themselves.
Bot whilst We congratulate the oung gen.
tlemen for their decided spccess, We also thank
them cordially for the great pleasure they have
afforded MS. Although the distribution of
prizes has but little interest for many, yet such
is not the case with all. The eager looks aud
nervous excitement observsble among the
boys whilst the prize list is being read out,
plainly tell us that many q ttrobbing little
heart is anxiously awaiting the result. 1t is q
real satisfaction to behold the happy faces of
the successful competitors as they step forward
to receive their prizs, or % they present them
with triumph to loving parents. Bat then it
is equally distressing to witness the humble
and downcsst locks of the unfortunate whose
names are passed over upnoticed.
Bot this is Sc 1t should be. ndCstry and
application will generally, if not
alwsy 8, come cf victorious. whilst negligence
ond idIeness will be certainly defeated in the
race. 2
Among the most successful in the higher
classes We remarked the names of L. D'Aquin,
E. Dsville, j. Fisher, J. MoPhillips, J. Buckley,
D. Craven, A. Enderle, J. Grant, J. Henry, P.

1t may without hesitation be said that tPe
isuperlative of stupid higotry was reached in
this country last week, when, as we are told
I"a prominent member of an American Order"
waited on Mayor Ely to threaten him With
the hostility of popular sentiment" if he
allowed the flags on the City Hall to be hoist
ed at half-staff in token of mourning for the
death of Pope Plus TX. The concurrence OF
the press in describing this "member of an
american Order" leaves hardly any room for
doubt that be was a spokesman from that most
silliberai, thoroughly nm. American, and decided
fly political-for-sale-s st-any-price body, the
"Order of the American Union," W hich, @ few
weeks ago, met in Convention" (Which means
"all there Was of 'em," in o neighboriug State,
and having passed resolutions of coincidence
on the death of Victor Emanuef-"because he
had crippled the power of the Pope"-in the
next breath "resoluted" that they (themSelves)
represented body numbering five hundred
thougand voters-and that this convention
! do now adjourn to Washington"-to see how
many Offices they could squeeze out Of the
politicians there. We think the sensible por
tion of the community have by this time found
out that this lattor operation is the rdisoT
Tetre-the be-all and end-Rll--of the existenct
of the "Order of the American Union and we
are glad to zee that Mayor Ely had pluok and
BBelf-respeot enough to deepise and disregard
the vulgar effort at political dictation attempt

an article of nearly tioo pages in the New York
Herald, contributed by the late -distiDguished
authoress, Louisa Mulbaoh.
Many of our Catholic friends have hoped,
and still hope. that some more permanent re-
cord of their homage will be made by the
faithful in New Orleans, which will be ct the
same time commemorative of the deceased
and promotive of the sublime lesson of Faith,
