The commencement sermon of the North
Texas Female college, delivered by the Rev.
s. a. Steel, of Columbus, Miss, at the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, was an
able and eloquent effort, thoroughly interest
ing from beginning to end, and listened to by
as large an assembly as could possibly get in
the large building Notwithstanding the ex-
cessive heat and crowded condition Of the
audience, sill nee reigned throughout the en-
tire services. In the evening, at the same
house, the Rev. j, Ii. Mclean, of Paris, de-
livered the alumni sermon with equal interest.
Both sermons united to make Sunday day

in the state. Corn is laid by generally and is
silking and tasseing. The cotton looks nd
mirably well and is well cultivated, but in
spots what is known rs the careless" worm
is depredating. He noticed some places
where the leaves were eaten entirely from the
stalks. Copious showers have fallen, which
have interfered somewhat with the
harvesting of small grain, most of
which is not good, though he SAW some fine
crops of wheat and oats----To-m morrow

square is sinking Chinawards you'd forget all
your anger. The Indians are still trouble

City, New Mexico. From reports received
here it seems the dare-devils have some of
