Mount st. Joseph's Academy---Third An
nuaI Exhibition.

Mount st. Joseph's Academy---Third An
nua1 Exhibition.
Last night it was our pleasure to witness
the closing exercises of this school, con-
Quoted by the Sisters of st. Joseph.
A small, but select and appreciative audi
ence was present, many no doubt being
kept away by the threatening appearance of
the weather.
The programme was strictly adhered to
throughout. The exercises were opened
with an address of welcome by Miss Mamie
Wendlandt, little curley- haired beauty,
who won the hearts of all present by her
little lady like ways and sweet voice.
The opening chorus, Over the Billows, "
was rendered in very good style by
twenty-five young ladies and little
girls. The instrumental (trio) by Misses
Cullinan and Ricardi and Master j. Condor
was excellent.
A drama, "The Chinese Mother" in
three acts, was next on the programme, and
was excellently rendered. Where all the
specify them), executed their parts so well
it would seem wrong to call attention to any
particular character but we must be par
dOned for mentioning the name of Miss E.
Kennedy as "Biddy McGrath, an Irish
widow" AS "Biddy" she was perfect, and
met with storm of applause ON every ap-
pearance. In fact the audience was gener-
Gus in its applause, giving to all their just
measure.
The instrumental solos of Misses NJ
Wendlant and A. Condor, two of the little
girls, was well executed
The storm called a portion of the audience
away before the exercises were half over
and we are sorry that more could not have
been present.
With all due respect and courtesy toward
the young ladies', we must be forgiven for
saying, as we do, that the little girls were
justly entitled to and received the applause
for the best performance.
The costumes of the different young
ladies were of exceptionally fine make, es-
pecially the one of Miss McHenry, who
wore pink satin with tulle over it and glitter
ing with diamonds
Judging from the manner in which the
instrumental part of the programme was
executed the pupils must have had teacher
of rare musical attainments
The sisters are to be congratulated in
bringing their school to such perfection.
The course of instruction pursued at this
academy comprises all the branches of
thorough English and German education;
also music, languages, drawing and painting,
fancy needle work, wax, fruit and flower

Ice Cream.

One quart of milk, the yolks of
four eggs, one large spoonful of -four
stirred to smooth paste in a little Of
the milk, and one pound OF sugar;
scald until thick, taking care not to
let it burn. When cold, add one
quart of whipped cream and the
beaten whites of four eggs; flavor to
suit the taste, and ..it is ready to be
frozen.
To make ice cream nicely and
quickly, a suitable apparatus is in
dispensable. If one has no freezer,
a tin pail with a closely fitting COW
er can be made to answer. Set the
pail in basket-a large peach bas-
ket is good; pack equal quantities
of coarse salt and finely broken ice
around the pail, nearly up to the
rim; pour the prepared cream into
the pail, taking care not to get any
salt into it; cover the whole with
flannel and leave for twenty min
ntes. that the cream may chill.
Freeze by turning the pail halfway
around and back, and every few
minutes open the pail and stir the
cream; for this purpose use smooth
stick. Work fast while the pail is
open as the air that reaches the
cream delays the freezing process.
| Have damp napkin at hand to
wipe away the salt from the freezer
every time that it is opened. 1t
may be necessary TO renew the ice
and salt while shaking, as the freez-
ling mixture must be kept close to
| the sides Of the pail. When the
cream becomes solid, cover again
with flannel, and if convenient, let
lit stand an hour before serving.

What is Farming?

1t is something more than stay
ing on a farm. 1t is something
more than skinning the soil. 1t is
more than selling hay and potatoes,
and bulky crops unanimalzed.
Farming is business, profession,
a practical and scientific operation
whereby the soil is used for profit
and improved under the operation.
The processes of nature must be
understood and worked in harmo-
ny with the chemistry of the earth
and air. The processes of the ele-
ments must be understood, if not
in their technichal terms and Ian
guage, in that sensible understand
ing, that common sense way, that
their advantage and capacities may
be turned to best accounts. The
lawyer works by law and precedent,
the physician works by symptoms
and inspirations, the merchant by
rules and observations, the me
chanic by measures and capacities.
The farmer must work by rules,
laws, observations and experiment.
He must be a practical lawyer,
doctor, merchant and mechanic Of
the vegetable, the animal, and the
trade world about him. lie must
be a skilled workman in the pro-
ductive, operative and commercial
circles in which his business lies
and his sphere Of speculation ex-
tends.

First Newspaper in Mississippi.

lTct NSWoPoPOA -
In donning it's new attire on the
9th ult., the Natchez Democrat
give an interesting reminiscence OF
its past history and of journalism
in Mississippi, from which we make
the extract below. The Colonel
Marschalk mentioned was the father
of Mrs. A. NJ. Ferris, of Columbus,
and the grandfather of one of the
editors Of The Dispatch. He was
quite an eminent character in the
Revolutionary war, and was wound
ed at St. Clair's defeat while serv-
ing as aid to Washington. From
Lieutenant he was promoted to a
Captaincy and then to be Lieuten
ant-Coloncl. The Democrat says:
To Natchez probably belongs the
credit of the first newspaper pub
lished in the Southwest, although
we learn from manuscript in our
possession that Col. ANDREW Mars
chalk set.up press and printed an
ode called the Galley Slave" at the
Walnut Hills (yicksburg) before
he finally settled in Natchez, w
have in our possession capies of the
laws of the Territory Of Mississippi
printed by Andrew Marschalk in
1899. The press which Col. Mars
chalk brought to Mississippi he
sold to B. NJ. Stokes who begun the
publication of the Mississippi Ga
zette, on foolscap sheet in 1899.
In 1902 Col. Marschalk regained
possession of this press and contin--
ued for nearly forty years to pub
liah a paper, under the various
names of Mississippi Herald,
Natchez Gazette, Washington Re-
publican, &C., Samuel and Timothy
begun the publication of the Mis-
sissippi paper called the Mississippi
Messenger, in 1904, and in connec-
ton with DR.. John Shaw, continued
it until 1910. Jas. McCurdy and
Peter Isler each published news
papers in Natchez previous to 1915,
though we cannot find the exact
date of their publication. Henry
Vose, who wrote short history of
the State, John Newland Maffit, l..
A. Besancon, J. F. H. Claiborne,
T. A. S. Donniphan, Maj. Rich'd
Edward and others the most grace
writers of the country, have been
among those who have graced the
Natchez press.
We have among the old material,
which has been accumulated during
all these years, an old press which
we believe is one brought by Col.
Marschalk to this city in 1779. Its
appearance when compared with
the elegant and finished fast run
ming presses of the present day, ex-
hibits in a striking manner the
rapid improvements of the past half
century.
