The Public school exhibition.

It is astonishing that SO much can be
accomplished by well directed effort.
The entertainment of last Friday
night at Perrodin's hall was one of the
grandest successes we have ever known
In Opelousas The hall was literally
packed, and many were unable to gain
admission though eager to witness the
public school exercises. Owing to the
fact that no provision had been made
for the press, we had to content our
selves with a reserved seat on the
outside steps, and much of our lnforma-
tion is gathered from those who were
in better position to see and hear.
The varied aud elaborate programme
was admirably executed; the children
acquitted themselves creditably, some
admirably, showing faithful and con-
scientious labors on behalf OF the
teachers and commendable proficiency
on the part of tile pupils. While it
was impossible for us to see anything
from our position, We could hear much
of the programme, and cannot refrain
I from making special mention of the
singing of Miss Annie Doremus. This
handsome young lady is native OF our
narish. and is the elder daughter Of DR..
| i. P. Doremus and Mrs. Mary Lyons
/ Doremns, both also, natives to the
manor born.
The Doctor lately returned from
Zurich in Europe, where for many
wears he has been professionally &C
cupied. Miss Anpie while there was
we'll instructed IN music, and discover.
ed an unusually fne voice for singing.
| He, services were solicited for the oc-
casion we are speaking Of, aud although
having some throat obstacles to impair
/ her voice, acquitted herself eharmingiy;
i IL fact she is an artist already. We OF
st. Landry, are always proud OF oal
/ bright lights. and as journalist, we 90
not hesitate to say she sings with
/ ramarkable sweetness and power.
The audience were delighted by hel
performances, and as mightshave been
| expected, she was encored. several times
We are sorry she will leave US for 9
residence on the Pacific side OF tlle
continent where her esteemed parents
propose to permanently locate them
/ selves ii, short time.

Prof. John Evans Commence
ment.

Prof. John Evans should feel tlattered
by the large attendance at his COM
mencement on Friday last. We have
never seen it so large. His school has
attracted attention by the excellence
of it's curriculum, and the thorough sys-
tenn of teaching which he has observed.
The location is admirable, being four
miles distant from the town of Bayou
Chicot, at the old residence of the la
mented G.. D. Tatman. The winds
that gently float over and about it, are
laden with the ordors of the surround
ing pines and the fact that no one is
near to divert, or, to entice the
scholars from the routine of studies
lald down by the Professor, secures good
health, whilst leaving the minds of the
students centered on their studies.
They stood an admirable examination,
and were as fine n lot of boys and girls as
can be found in any school. The
Professor stated to the audience that
he had never taught better children.
That they had given him no trouble
during the scholastic year, and had
studied industriously and faithfully.
They showed by their responses to
questions propounded by visitors, which
they certainly had not been drilled to
answer, that they were we'll up in the
branches they had been taught.
There were visiting patrons from the
Big Bend, MoreauvilIe and Cottonport
in Avoyelles and others from tue Bayou
B9uf, Clear, Barbreck and Milburn.
The parents Of the children were
much pleased by their progress and
left perfectly satisfied with the teach
ing of tho Professor. Fourteen of the
scholars were awarded cert fcates
which, in the hereafter they may look
upon with feelings of pride. Six re-
ceived certificates classed as interme-
diate. Eight of primary grade. These
certificates are neatly gotten up, and
may be conveniently kept in frame.
Judge Cullom'hddressed the school and
audience at 81 o p. IN.
Some of thE students rehearsed well
chosen pieces in English boys too.
who when they entered the school a
few months since, spoke no English at
all. At the conclusion of the days
exercises, the young folks were given a
carte blanche by the Professor and a
dance was inaugurated, which was con-
ducted by them with the most ex'
eellent decorum, until the sun beams
painted the east with the bushes O
morning
We regret to have to add that Prof
/ Evans will no longer teach in Bayou
Chicot, but has purchased him home
and will establish his school in the Fall
at Babbs' Bridge. Some of his scholars
will follow him, as we'll as the respect
gratitude and admiration Of thos'
among whom he has been living ant
! teaching.
