In America there are only two mon
asteries maintained by the Trappist
monks, and no monastic order has a
more singular history or follows more
rigid customs. One of these monas-
teries, in which the vow of perpetual
silence is enjoined, is located at Du-
buque, Iowa, and the second is IN
Nelson county, Ky, short distance
from Louisville. This second is called
the monastery of Gethsemane, and is
the subject of magazine article by
Morton M Casseday. Tho article,
well-illustrated, will appear in the
Southern Bivouac for July.

Jordan Institute-COmmencement
Exercises.
(Lockhart Register.9

Owing to the fact that a part of the exer-
oises came off last week after going to press,
there was not as extensive notice given as
the case demanded, and while we cannot go
into all the details, shall give q resume in
order that the true merits may be made pub
lie
In the beginning of last week the exam
nation was conducted at the academy, in
writing. a committee having been selected
to do the grading. The examination was u
rigid one and the most of the pupils ac-
Quilted themselves nobly--a large number
being granted first class certificates, and
were not issued to any why did not grade
up to 80, 100 being the maximum. On
Tuesday, Mt 3 o'clock p. m, the primary ex-
ercses were conducted at the BaptiSl
Church to the credit of the children and
teachers.
The Hermesian exercises on Thursday
morning were of the highest type, and
showed practice and ability, and the audi
ence were entertained all morning in the
most pleasing manner.
At night the musical concert was the very
acme of success, and reflects much credit
ON all who participated. At the conclusion
Of the concert. A. b Storey, Esq, the ora
tor Of the occasion was introduced and de-
livcred one Of the most sensible and practi-
cal speeches IL was ever our good fortune 10

did ample justice TO the occasion and sub

From beginning to end everything went

there is high school in the State that can
make a better showing than that Of Jor-

The death of Marshal Jackman
affords one of the most striking in
stances of the vicissitudes incident
to human life. A year ago he had
but just received his appointment, in
the most honorable way, without solic-
itation on his part, The highway of
prosperity seemed to open before
him. Only a very few months since
he looked the picture ofhealth. But
all this fattering scene proved illu-
sorry. Relentless disease claimed
him rs victim, and after protracted
agonies, he yielded to death, and to
earth his vigorous form and positive
character arc but memory.

Judge Kone has "taken a change
of venue" 80 to speak, as regards our
arrangement of last week for his late
hostility to our public school system,
as at present organized. 1t was a
very thin device for him to go before
o Dripping Springs audience to reply
to that charge. But it suited his
convenience best, no doubt, for he
we'll knows that everybody inside the
corporation of San Marcos knows that
our charge was strictly true.

Hon. l.. l.. Foster, of Groesbeeck,
and G. L. Gilbert, of Abilene, both
good newspaper men, have bought
the Dallas Evening Herald, and it is
understood they intend to conduct it
on a higher plane of newspaper eth
les than the average daily paper OF
Texas, which has been won't to pan
der to the most vicious influences. 1t
is understood that it will have n
strong leaning toward prohibition.
These gentlemen evidently see the
advantages Dallas offers as a news
paper town, and have acted with
commendable promptitude in locat-
ing hero at this early day. We hope
to see the Herald, which has been one
of the sprightliest little dailies we
ever had here, rapidly advance to the
front ranks of journalism as daily,
always espousing the cause of right
and Justice, and that success may
crown it's every efort.-Dallas Mer-
