PinRfiOFe,

Fl M. s. Pinafore arrived at this port on
Monday evening, manned by complies
ment and officers and crew from our
sister city of Vicksburg. From the repu-
tation that this little operetta has gained
all over the country, we were prepared to
see something far above the ordinary run
of musical entertainments. We were not
disappointed in our expectations, for it was
rendered in a superb manner by the Vicks-
burgers.
Sir Joseph Porter, X. G. B. in the
Queens navee, in the person of Mr.. Thos.
r. Roach, was officially speaking "
an admirable piece of acting Capt.
Corcoran, Commander of the Pinafore,
could not have been better rendered than
it was by Mr.. Dan Searles, his usually clear
voice showing 10 good advantage on this
occasion. Mr.. John McQuade aH Ralph
Rackstraw; Mr. A. J. McCallum, as Bill
Bobstay, and Mr.. Chas Cowan as Dick
Deadeye, acquitted themselves very credi-
tably. The acting and singing of Mrs. U.
M. Young, in the character of Josephine,
could not have been surpassed Little
Buttercup could not have been rendered
better than it was by Mrs. j. B. Browne.
Hebe, by Miss Lizzie Bedford, was well
sustained. The choruses as given by Sir
Josephs sisters, cousins and aunts, assisted
by the gallant sailors and marines of the
Pinafore, were fine and showed good
The music Ct the opera as rendered under
the leadership of Prof. Weigand, of Vicks-
burg, who we learn, is an experienced and
excellent musician, was superb. But we
make specsal mention of the artistic, skill
full, and splendid performance on the piano,
the leading instrument of the ochestra, by
Mrs. Montgomery. She is certainly an
artist in music, and has the
rare tact of knowing how to exhibit her
talent aud power in execution. We under
stand this lady was one of the leading +,
spirits of the opera from the first rehearsal .
o the closing entertainment in rendering
he music and training the singers.
Token altogether, the performance was
grand success in every respect, and we hope
hat our Vicksburg friends, may find it
to repeat it at an early day.

The community was startled on Saturday
last, about noon, by the hasty ringing of
the Penitentiary bell-the first suspicion of
our citizens being that the prisoners had
made break, but such an idea was soon
dispelled by the rising volumes of flame
and smoke that issued from the inner walls
of the prison. The fire companies were
soon upon the scene, and performed heroic
work. The Hope company succeeded in
getting the first stream of water upon the
burning building, being very soon followed
by the Gem boys. All the companies,
did good work, and succeeded in keeping
the fire confined to the building in which
it started. Several of the fremen were
prostrated by the extreme heat caused by
the closeness of the walls. The loss upon
the building and contents was upwards of
81, 500. No insurance.

Corpus Christi.

This festival, which is always sacredly
observed by the members of the Catholic
Church throughout the world, was celebrated
with more than usual solemnity in jackson
this year. After services at the Church, at
6 O'Clock on Sunday evening last, a pro-
cession was formed, and headed by the
Capital City Band, marched up Capitol
street to President, up President to Yazoo,
up Yazoo to West. street, and thence to the
school grounds, which had been decorated
for the occasion. The rain, which fell in
torrents about the end of the march, to
some extent interferred with the ceremo>
mics which were very solemn and impress
sive. A short address was made by Rev.
Father Picheret, after which the assemblage
dispersed

The Electric Light.


The electric light has received partial
Endorsement at the hands of a British Par
liamentary committee, which has reported
that it is admirably adapted for public pur-
poses, but not sufficiently economical for
domestic purposes, 1t is not in the nature
of things probable, however, that even in
England, where economy in the price of
light means something vastly different from
what it does in the United States, this OBJ
stacle will long remain in the way of the
utilization Of the light 1t is only guess
ton of time-and not very long time,
either--when the inventive genius which
has so successfully controlled the light that
large halls and buildings can be better and
more cheaply illuminated with it than gas,
will solve the problem of the subdivision
of light, This accomplished the way will
be clear, and the people will have a light
to compete with, if it does not wholly
supersede, an illuminating article which in
many places in the United States, like the
electric light in England, is not sufficiently
economical for domestic pup 5ses.

Archery.

We have an Archery Club in jackson, and
IS some of the Archers have not studied the
lrt, nor have access to the rules governing
he performance, we copy from cotempo-
airy, the law upon Archery, which is optic
mixed as follows:
Don't attempt to hold tho bow in both
hands, when you shoot.
If you shoot over the target, lower it. If
you shoot Under it, have it elevated.
When you miss the target and pillow fur
'ow along boys scalp, tally two, one for
he scalp and one for the boy.
Either close both eyes or keep both open
when you shoot. Some favor one method
md some the other, but odds is the differs
'nce as long as your father employs gla-
Ter by the month.
Don't attempt curve>shot. The arrow
S as apt to come down on the baby's head
IS elsewhere.
Some girls squirt up one eye and hang
put their tongue when they pull the bow.
This is not absolutely necessary to a line
shot, though it does look romantic.
There is no particular distance to be OBJ
'erved, but the nearer the target you stand
jhe more chance you have of hitting some
1ne across the street, in the eye.
A center shot is called 'dutFer;" miss
Ng tho target is formed lone hand;"
hitting the horse-barn is known as ''phoo-
lee;' missing the barn and shooting your
UNITS spectacles off her none is called a
tom -tom;' shooting across a young mans
boulder is known as ''snufles;" sitting

ead is known as ''bluffing the game" and

The Peril of employing highly educated
young men was again illustrated yesterday.
A woman stopped at a green grocer's on
Woodward avenue and asked:
SIS them lettuce fresh?'
You mean that lettuce" suggested the
clerk, ''and it is fresh"
"Tben you'd better eat it, she snapped
as she walked on.
The grocer rushed out AMI asked the
clerk what on earth had happened to anger
her, and the Young men replied:
"Why, nothing, only l corrected her
grammar.
"You have turned away one of my best
customers. Only yesterday she came irf
and asked me how l sold those white sugar,
and / got an order for a whole barrel.
Hang you sir! but if them customers want
grammar they don't expect to find her in a
grocery! No, sir, and if you see abe again

Thc Senatorial Nominations in Kinds
and Rankin.

EDITORS CLARIoN-The county Executive
Committee, in the call for the Conven ton,
states one of the objects of the Convention
to be "for the appointment of delegates to
the District Convention for the nomination
of candidates to the Senate, etc." I think
this advises departure from the precedent
set in 1875, and departure that would GER
tainly give great dissatisfaction. In 1875
the Rankin county Convention met and
nominated Col. McCaskill, of Rankin for
Senator, requesting Kinds to ratify his
nomination, and also to nominate a Sen
ator for Kinds. When the Kinds county
Convention met it endorsed Col. Met askill,
and nominated Judge Johnson, of Kinds,
requesting Rankin to endorse him. The
Executive Committee of Rankin did $50,
md then the two counties, everybody being
satisfied, elected johnson and McCaskill by
overwhelming majorities.
think Rankin entirely capable of choos
ing Rankin's Senator without dictation or
interference on the part of Kinds, and
think Kinds no less capable of selecting a
Senator for Kinds without interference by
Rankin; all that is necessary is an endorse
ment, as was the case in 1875. The pre-
cedent of that year isfair, just and sensible
and without objection, and a departure from
it in 1879 will bring about dissatisfaction
that our party might have reason to deplore.
Let our convention on the 4th of July
nominate Senator for Kinds by proper
vote, and request Rankin to concur, and by
no means send off little committee to do
that work for the people, and some trouble
and dissatisfaction may be avoided.
KINDS COUNTY,
We clip the above from the Clarion of
last week, and endorse every word of it.
Let the Convention of Kinds name the
candidate from that county and the Rankin
Convention the candidate from this county,
and then each endorse the nomination of
the other, and there will be no necessity for
a joint Convention. There has been no
one announced for the position in this
county, but we have plenty of good mate
rial, and we have no doubt the Convention
will find good man willing to serve.-
