our company until 1850, when I took

On this boat I had number OF French

soon as Fort Sumter was fired upon I
ran tho craft up to Vicksburg and sold
out every thing, even to tho muskets,
which wcro purchased by tho Confeder-

NAMED few days in New York,
but as my feelings and interests wero
all with tho Southern people, returned
to New, Orleans, purchased a passenger

ST. NIARY's ACADEMY.
Commencement June a4th. 1900.

There have been many commence
ments in the inter-mountain and
coast regions this season, but only one
Of the St. Mary's kind. This popular
institution has just closed another
year OF it's useful and prosperous
career, and in many respects tho best
in its history. The fifteenth annual
commencement will be recorded on
one of its brightest pages and will
live fresh and green in the memory Of
ali who were present for long years
to como. AS the close of tho session
drew near the Mother Superior fore
saw that the large and commodious
study hall of the main school build
ing would be inadequate to accom-
modate tho massive crowds that
would be present and wisely and
thoughtfully engaged the Grand
Opera House for the memorable occa-
sion. When the five grand pianos
arranged in the orchestra space in
Hogarth's broken lines sounded the
note for the first step Of tho grand
Hungarian March accompanied by
three harps on the stage, the curtain
gently arose and over 2OO pupils in a
line Of moving beauty marched to the
time Of tho grand music before the
footlights and made salutations to
parents, friends and visitors. The
march was played with accuracy and
the steps perfect to the time Of the
music. Every part of the programme
from beginning to it's close gavo evil
sience Of excellent training and care
Of pupils and iudicious management
in their control. t was Pleasing in
every particular and the concurrent
testimony of those present credit it
with being the best ever rendered by
the school even to the parts of the
Juveniles and minims.
Interspersed in different parts of
tho programme came the distribution
of premiums, prizes and medals, and
many fond parents heart swelled
with pride when his or her daughter
advanced before the footlights and
dropping gently on one knee before
his Excellency Gov. Thomas, was
presented by him with II goli medal
for the honors faithfully won.
The farewell chorus accompanied
on harps, guitars and pianos, was
very pretty tableau, played in ex-
cellent time; the voiCos, also, blended
in sweet feeling and harmony, and
was an appropriate closing TO an
architectural feast.
