TWENTY years ago there were only two tele-
scopes in the world with object glasses fifteen
inches in diameter. These were made in Eu-
rope and were located at Pultowa and at Cam
bridge, Mass. Clark the Cambridge optician
in 1850, made disk eighteen and half inches
in diameter for the University of Mississippi
at Oxford, but the war diverted it from its
destination, and il was bought BY the Chicago
Astronomical Society. With this instrument
the satellite of Sirius was discovered Since
then Mr.. Clark has made the twenty-six inch
disks heretofore referred to-

MISSISSIPPI GE-COAIAIENCEMENT
The annual exercises OF this Institution
have come and gone again-gone not as things
which are forgotten, but as such buried in re-
collective minds, to bring forth fruit to the
glory of true education. May it be SO.
To say nothing of the regular examination
which took place during and previous 10 the
Commencement week, and which evinced
thorough scholarship, the time was spent pro-
ftably to the visitors, and creditahly to the
schools.
Saturday, O'Clock, P. NJ, the usual signal
being given, a moderately large audience as
sembled in the Chapel Hall to witness an ex-
hibition OF the Preparatory Department of
the College. All this was creditably done.
Nothing else could have been expected when
we remember that Professor Stephens and
lady had had the boys in charge for eight long
months. Surely they understand, Thoroughly,
their business. So much so that / will say,
to those who expect to take a college course
take the preparatory course under Prof. Ste
phens. He will help you to lay a solid foun-
dation-a foundation that will enable you to
go, successfully, through the higher classes,
and, without which all hope of real education
viii be forever blasted.
The prizes in this exhibition were awarded
to Messrs. J. B. Lumbley and John Quattle-
baum, of Senatobia, Miss,
Sunday, IL o'clock a. H., the Chapel bell
called out large congregation to hear the
Commencement Sermon, which was preached
by Rev. w. e. Paxton, d. d., of Arkansas
Every body was well pleased, the only objec-
tion being that the discourse was 100 short Let
this objection speak for the effort.
O'CLOCK, p. NJ, Sermon before Society Of
Missionary Inquiry, was preached By Rey. J.
