BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
The Text From Pauls Reply to
Festus Before King Agrippa.

The opera house was completely packed
Sunday at IL o'clock with a fashionable
audience to hear the above sermon, the
beginning of'the annual commencement
of our State University. Even the third
tier was filled to overlooking with ladies
and gentlemen, as were the long galleries.
1t was one of the most intelligent church
audiences that has ever assembled in this
city. On the stage were several
distinguished clergymen. The services
were Presbyterian, and opened with q
hymn to the tune of Old Hundred, the
congregation being invited to join in the
singing.
Reverend Doctor Smoot introduced
Rev. B. M Palmer, d. d., l.. L. D., of New
Orleans, one of the foremost preachers in
the Southern Presbyterian church. He
read the 26th chapter of Acts, giving an
account of the arraignment of Paul be-
fore Agrippa. From that most interest
ing narrative the text was taken. Festus,
sitting beside King Agrippa on the iudg-
ment seat, said to Paul.
9Th ou art beside myself; much learn
ing hath made thee mad"
Paul replied:
II am not mad, o, most noble Festus;
Ispeak the words of soberness and truth"
liking Paurs answer as subject, and
defending Christianity against the oft
repeated charge offanaticism, DR.. Palmer
delivered one of the finest, most logical
and powerful pulpit orations ever heard
in Texas. His enunciation was slow, de-
liberate, clear and distinct; every word
was measured, and the nearer had time to
comprehend it. His diction was graceful
and elegant. Addressing himself to this
intellect in the higher flights of oratory
he carried the Imagination also away cap
tive. Half his audience were SO pro
foundly wrapt in the brilliant thoughts he
was uttering that they almost forgot them.
selves, and not few scarcely felt the
fatigue of standing up in the aisles and
the galleries to listen to the preacher of
the baccalaurate sermon.

Exciusiveness of "society."

The number of people who have real merit and talent for society, who are kept out by the exclusiveness of self consti- tuted tyrants of society, must be very large; but if they have tact and learn to wait, they will find their way. The most certain way to please is to show a modest indifference to the smiles of the great. They call it patronage in Eng land. We have no such ugly word here, nor have be any really "great people" so- cially.) They should not ''push. There is, however, always an ideal exclusive ness, a society which should only admit the cultivated, the wise, and the good. Every hostess should inquire into the general characteristics of her guests. their moral, social and political standing. We use the word political in it's largest sense. In spite of all we can do, objec- tionable men and women do get into the most carefully guarded society; and we have as yet no such inviolable insight that we can rates Dives and Lazarus be- fore their death as they are said to be rated afterward.

Shaking Up The Apaches Again.

The last of the Apache Indians of Geronimo's gang, who were confined at Fort Pickens, were removed to Mount Vernon, Ala, by rail on June 2lst. It was the intention of the government to send the youngest of the band, to Carlisle, Penn., to school, but it seems there was no money for their transpor- tation, and they were to be kept at Pickens until such time as the money could be got. The others, about fifty in number, were sent to Mount Vernon about month ago. There are now very near five hundred Indians, bucks and squaws at Mount Vernon. It is supposed that the soldiers will leave here this summer to go into camp, and this, it is supposed, is the reason the Indians were removed from Pickens, Warrington Corr. Florida Times Union.

Meteorio stones that sometimes fall to the earth are the objects of special study and thorough examination by scientific men. They are all similar in their com bination of material or substance. But occasionally new facts are developed. In one stone were found organic remains showing the former existence of animal life. In another that fell in Siberia Sept. 4. 1886. weighing about four pounds, were found small diamonds. A small fragment of the stone was sent to Mir. George F. Kunz, who is with Tiffany 6 Co.,, New York.

New Rules Adopted Which tvin Improve
 the Moral and Financial Condition of

 A brief but lurid meeting of the Thompson Street Poker club was held last Saturday evening, the Rev. Thankful Smith presiding. In view of the facts that the janitor had thoughtfully garnisheed the chips as guar antee of good faith in regard to the last kero- sene bill, thatino light was furnished the club other than the flicker of the electric lamp over the way, and that the available securities and cash of the several members were temporarily tied up in the shape of bail in Jefferson Market, Professor Brick moved that the regular exercises be omitted and that the club go into executive session as 8 committee of the whole.

Remarkable Showing For Mormondom.

The great bulk of the people of Utah
 are agriculturalists. Their possessions are in land and herds. The sta tistics show that 90 per cent of Mormon families own their own homes. There is no other community on earth which will make like showing. Thereis not an almshous,, or the necessity for one, in any of the exclusively Mormon set dement's. With the exception of the mines every other industry inUtah is kept alive by Mormon labor and Mor- mon patronage. The Mormons supply the most reliable non-striking cl lss of laborers in the whole inter-mountain region.
