For two years and half our citizens
have been highly entertained by the
semi-annual performances OF the students
of this popular school. All who have
witnessed their entertainments have gone
away expressing themselves delighted, be-
cause of the practical and educational skill
displayed in every performance and the
high order of culture which it naturally
tended to develop. Now the young gentle
men of the Academy are about 10 offer to
all who may attend, rare treat in the
way of an original drama, or trayesty.
The title OF "A Trial by jury is of itself
suggestive of a performance both iustruc-
tive and highly amusing.
Both the school and the attractive charac-
ter of these public performances, have out
grown the stageroom at the Academy
hence the Opera House has been secured

Little Barefoot" Miss Katie Putnam) +,
may expect to have a crowded house, as
the reserve sale foreshadows. The little
artistic needs no fulsome laudation, her
reputation as a leader in her profession
being so firmly established, and all that is
really necessary is TO say that she will be
here tonight and give jackson audience
one OF the best performances the Opera
House has ever presented within its walls.
Her beautiful song, Ely Forth Little
Dove" is alone worth a reserved seat to
hear; and we expect this to be Katie's
most signal triumph among the many she
has made in this city. Let us all turn
out and show our appreciation of merit,
for, as the Vicksburg Herald says on the
conclusion of her recent engagement there
This womanly little woman, in her pro-
fession, and her line OF plays, is, perhaps
without an equal on the stage. She is not
only accurate in her conception OF the dill
ferent characters that she plays, but real
tistic in her rendition of them. Her voice
is Inodulated to correctness itself in all of
its tones, and she forces her audience to
wreathe the tear with smile. She is a
prime favorite with the Vicksburg public,
and she will always find a cordial welcome
among us"

EXTRACTS FROM RECENT LETTER
FROM PRESIDENT JONES To The

The expense account at the l. |. and
G. for December has just been made up.
1t is $500 per capita for meals, furnish
ed room, fuel, lights and washing. One
girl earned Sl1.00; several earned $1,000,
and a good large number earned from
$500 to 5000. You will be delighted
to know that the girls are deeply inter-
ested in learning the " Industries" Next
week our printing office will be open.
l am getting applications by every
mail for the privilege of boarding in the
College Dormitory, but ii is full to
overlooking now. The Legislature will
consider the propriety of extending the
accommodations, so as to educate larger
number of girls. 1t is evident now that
the people want an Industrial Educa-
ton for their daughters. A lady from
learned of this College; she is delighted
with the plan-thinks it is one of grand

lows the example of Mississippi.

NUMBER OF INEXPLICABLE PECULtARI-
TIES NOTICED.
Sup't Ed, Tate County.
SESATOBIA, Jan. 13, 1886.


London Correspondent, New York Times.l
Some time ! am going to make whole
book about the funny things in the Eng
fish pronunciation. Everybody knows
about Majoribanks being Marshbanks,
and Cholmondeley being Churnley, and
Levison-Gower being Lewson gore.
These are the stock samples familiar to
all. Most people, know, too, that the
Norman names of Belvoir end Beau
champs are pronounced Beaver and
Beecham, while the equally Norman
name of Grosvenor retains its French
sound. But these are only sign-posts on
the road to . general knowledge of the
subject. When you get to know why
Boughton is pronounced Bawton, while
Houghton has the loag o, why Wemyss
should be Weems, and Knollys should
be Knowles, you will be getting on in
the mastery of the subject. But there
are no rules. Some words like Pail Mall,
which is pronounced pell NELL, retain
the sound of their foreign origin afteI
they have lost its form. But, then, the
word mall, meaning path, is pronounced
NAL, and as they both came from the
old French game of paile maiIle, it may
be seen that the Englishman Gisdains
mere laws of analogy. He says Rum
sted when he refers to Rothampstead,
but he pronounces Southampton out
fully and clearly. In London, too, he
has dialect of his own. He says clark,
but the rest of England says clerk. He
turns all his long as inso long is, saying
dyly pyper instead of daily paper, but
the country people do not. But, then,
he says Hereford, while the natives of
that shire call it Hartford.
