est, aud earnest in their ambitious en-
deavors, while engaged in their recitaiions
ami equally as pleasant to see their skiliul
fingers designing, painting, embroidering
sewing ironing, aud uashmg dishes. la
I this latter occupation the tar girls were
I ably assisted by some of the august mem-
bers OF the House, who did quite we'll,
considering all things. The girls exhibited
remarkable proficiency in their studies,
aud have learned even in this short while
to be pattern housewives. The bedrooms
are models oi neatness, and very homelike
and pleasant, and the dining room, which
is under the sole charge Of :he girls, is, in
its neatuess aud arrangements, a thing Of
beauty. Of this much we feel confident.
that no man who visited the College will
vote against the appropriation, and that
every lady visitor wished herself a school
girl again, and one of the happy Institute
girls. President Jones apd the ladies of
| Columbus were unremilting in their atten-
tons to the party, and when We LETT .he
hospItable home OF our. girls, we did SO
regretting that our visit could not be
longer, aud our acquaintance with all
within its walls, more intimate. The fire
company made a most creditdble display
in the afternoon, and at 430 the
visitors were handsomely entertained at
dinner by the citizens, AT night Camilla
Urso was enjoyed by most OF the mem
bers, and among other elegant hospi-
talilies extended that evening, was a
theatre party, given by the lovely Miss
Allie Dashiell, to the visiting young ladies.

an entertainment worthy OF Colnnbus, and
the fair young hostess, and will not soon
be forgotten The next morning was the
only sad time of our visit, for then came
the good bye to Columbus. In recalling
the pleasures OF the trip, we venture to
assert that the one making the deepest
impression upon three OF the young lady
visitors, was the drive in coach and four
with three of Columbus society men, over
the beautiful streets OF Columbus Thurs
day evening. The entire turnout was ele-
giant, the gentlemen courteous and charm
ing and the girls full OF intense enjoyment
The good-byes the next day were most
regretiuIly said and the special bore back
TO Jackson party whose every moment
during the trip had been pie asant and en-
joyable. At Meridian a stop was made for
dinner, and visit paid to the Insane
Asylum, the management of which inn
pressed all parties most favorably. The
citizens OF Meridian very courteously fur
nished carriages for the transportation
OF the party, and desired further to
honor US by a visit to the theatre and then
ball, but the tired members OF the party
we're in the majority, SO the train moved
out from Meridian at dark, and with
quick run, and a lively crowd reached
home at eleven p. NJ, wishing all manner OF
good things to Columbus, Meridian, Arte-
STA, the NJ. & o. Il. r., and above all to
Judge Harrison, who was the moving
spirit of the whole delightful trip
