"THE CHABMED LIFE.
Tbe Hoes of fateful war were set
. i" lu battle's grim arra/,
And ceaseless feil the shot and shell
" Through all the ghastly.day.
On either side the army stretched
Along the meadow green,
S And broad and white from left to right,
. The road-way wound between.
x The air was blind with throbbing heat,
. And, as the sun rose higher.
The Summer blue of heaven shone through
A haze of tropic fire :
. The curving road was dashed with gore,
-Ind every up-turoed'clod
j "Was stained with blood whose living S cod
_ , Soaked all the grassy sod : - -

The shrieks: and groans of dying, mea

. Till one wbbse^tr was forced to hear
^The?r cries could bear no more.

He rushed to where the General stood :
"I crave yonr leave to bring,
For mea who die ia agony,
: Water from yonder spring ;

***Tbex moan and shriek with maddening
. thirst, " .
They writhe in their despair,
Woi?e I might take the draught to slake
The torture that they bear."

A ballet through your head ;
And^ foolish lad, you will but add
Anjotbex to ^thedead."
1 'Not soi I pray you let me go,
Without a word of chafe,
For God, whose care is every where,
, I think wilt keep" me safe."
"Why will yon ask my leave to go,

Could meet the strife secure of life?

"No, no I" the General shook his head,
V Betwixt a sigh and groan ;
"Yon choose to go, brave fellow !,so

The thundering gens still rent the air,
The battle raged as hot,
And ali around the sodden ground
'\ Was plowed with hissing shot 5
Yet straight between the belching lines,
. Leaping the roadside wall,
Right through the clang the sergeant sprang,
s?ani dared to lace rt all. **.
? . In either steadfast hand he held
A brimming water can,
Which through the crash of oaanon flash
He bore fros man to man.
With blessed draughts t?e fa?ntingsoe?

. And parcbing lips were soothed with sips
That dulled the stress of pain.
He raised the dying to sis knee
From off the weltering sod,
And wi tir a word none other tteard
Dismissed his soul to God.

Of raking shot was seen.
A gradual lull hushed down the roar,

^TCTAESVILLE, Miss., June 13.-The
* Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan?
ical College was* chartered February
28/1S?87 It was opened to studeuts
October 6, 1880. lt owes its exis
tence to the "Act of Congress, ap?
proved Joly 2, 1862, donating public
lands to the sevei al States and Terri?
tories, which may provide colleges
for.tlf? benefit of agricultere and the
mechanic arts.'7.
The Si ale of Mississippi, in accept?
ing the conditions of-this Act of Con?
gress, and by her Act approved
. February 28, 1878, prescribed in the
powers given to the board of trus?
tees: "The establishment and main?
tenance of a first-class institution, at
whieu the youth of the State may
acquire a comm ou school education
and a scientific and practical knowl?
edge of agriculture, horticulture and
the mechanic arts, also the proper
growth and care of stock, without,
however excluding other scientific
and classical studies, including mili?
tary tactics. They shall regulate
the course of study, rates of tuition,
management of experimental farm,
manner of performing labor and the
kinds of labor to be performed by
students." The leading object mast
be "to benefit agriculture and the
mechanic arts.'' The complexion of
the college must be such as to famil?
iarize students with the leading ob?
jects as set forth in the^Acts, name?
ly : To educate and direct their
minds and tastes to agriculture, hor?
ticulture, care and growth of stock,
management of farms, manner of per?
forming labor and the mechanic, arte.
This necessitates that special stress
should be laid on the sciences, such j
as chemistry, botany, geology, zoolo- j
gy, entomology, physiology, physics, |
mechanics, mathematics, &c, which j
underlie agriculture and the mechanic
arts. To understand properly these
sciences, a liberal education, especial?
ly in English is requisite. The varied
conditions contributing to an iutelli
g>HKL*ndei'Stai>diiig of agriculture as
a science and an art include an edu?
cation as btoad and libera! as that
needed itt mastering any profession
It differs, however, in kind ; it is to
be industrial and practical. Students
nnust be faniiiiar, not only with farms
and labor, but must also labor them?
selves, and this labor is a part of
.t4>eir education. It is educational in
so far as it is in illustration of stu?
dies taught in the recitation room.
51 BA XS 07 SUPPORT.
The college is supported by ap
pioprialion from the State Legisla?
nte. A small endowment fund of
$4,923 25 is also received annually
a?? interest on $88,575 worth of pub
He lands winch was donated by the
United ?tates Government. The
State Legislature has provided
grounds, buildings and equipraei
for this college a property valued
$I74,S57, which is exceeded by oj
twelve similar institutions out of ?
ty-seven now in operation in the U
ted Stales.
BUILDINGS, GROUNDS, &C.
The board of-trustees, with t
donation made by the citizens
Starkville ($9,000) and the appropr
tions, have erected a college bui
ing (three-story) containing a chaj
and fourteen recitation rooms ; a d?
mitory building (three-story, inch

MILITARY FEATURE.
Military discipline is the estab?isl
discipline of the college. Th
discipline is mild but firm, and pei
vades every department of f&e co]
rege in so far as the students ar
concerned. It is effective in th
academic and industrial department
alike.
DEPARTMENTS O? TEE COLLEGE.
The scientific departments of biol
'?gy> chemistry and physics aro wei
equipped for. work and illustration
having ample apparatus. The depart
ment of biology has the cabinet o
minerals, ?ofls and fossils presentei
by the Legislature, also a large col
lection of other minerals and recks
is provided with human and . anima
skeletons, life-size charts, herbarium
wood specimens, &e.
The departments of agrietsit-s-reanc
"hc.rticult.ure may be temed bot!
-scientific and industrial The leach
ing of thc sciences themselves pre
.supposes to a certain extent a knowl?
edge of biology and chemistry
underling them. Besides tetkoeret
ical instruction,students a re instructed
practically in the field, barn, pasture,
orchards, nursery, gardens, with care
and growth of stock, with improved
implements, &c, necessary for illes
travion. Both of th? departments
have facilities for instruction and il?
lustration.
Tke departments of Englisk and
mathematics are well organized, and
are laying the foundation of a thor?
ough English and mathematical
education, progressive and cowmen
surate with a kuowJedge of the
sciences. The preparatory depart?
ment is well organized, and is doing
thorough 'elementary work. The in?
structor in writing has charo-e of ?he
freshman class and preparatory stu?
dents. The instructor in mechanical
and free-hand drawing has charge of
the junior class six months and the
sophomore class three months.
The instruction in bookkeeping has
charge of the freshman class tir.ee
months.
THE INDUSTRIAL FEATURE.
All students are required to work
from two to three hours a day, four
or five days during the week, on the
farm, among stock, in the garden nur?
sery or shops for oidinary repairs,or OK
grounds. With two exceptions
Michigan and Kansas-tho Missis?
sippi College is instructing more stu?
dents in the science and art of agri?
culture than any other similar col?
lege in the United States.
DEMANDS FOR AGRICULTURAL INFORMA?
TION.
The demands made on the diff?rent
professors of the college for informa?
tion in their respective lines by our
farmers is a must eneouia^ing feature
and is steadily increasing It shows
that thc college is meeting a long
felt want among our industrial classes
We are furnishing reliable informa?
tion from an oin ci a I source and of a
character to advance our material in?
terests. It is an official bureau of
information. Not only the citizens of
this State but of the neighboring States
are holding np the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Mississippi as
a grand success.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
Commencement exercises began last
? evening with a joint debate by the
! two literary societies, the representa?
tives from each being selected from
the Sopomore class. The boys were
all quite young, but spoke with an
ease and confidence worthy of ma?
turer age. They spoke without notes
and showed a surprising degree of
! familiarity with their subjects. They
: were entirely free from that sopho
j morie style and tone so common in
I our colleges.
j This evening was occupied by the
1 members of thc fieshman class in
comn^it?^&ideclamation for a gold
medff^?j^^i by the professor of
Englisto^fie declamations were all
selected from agricultural or scienti?
fic subjects. This was one of the
requirements of the contest, and its
object was?0 make the students do a
great deal -.?f reading in that line
in search ?f suitable pieces, and also
for the good they will derive from a
study of such subjects. The prize
was awarded to Mr. S. E Oldham, oue
of the youngest'merabers of the class.
This morning the commencement
sermon was preached by the Eight
Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson, assis?
tant Bishop of .Mississippi. At an
early hour the citizens began to gath?
er, andjong beio4?4W fcour ror-ser
?v+eesriKz^clMpcl was filled to over?
flowing." The commencement sermon
here is an eve.nt anxiously looked
forward to by the citizens of the sur?
rounding country, as they have learn?
ed to expect something extra on that+
occasion. The chapel is large and
spacious. It is beautifully decorated
with festoons of evergreens and flags.
On the stage is a display of farm
tools, farm products, soldiers' equip?
ments, &c, representing the various
features of the college-the farmer,
the soldier, the scholar.
The campus looks fresh and green.
The unshaded portions are sodded
with Bermuda grass, the groves of
oak and hickory grow a mixture.of
orchard, Kentucky and blue and
other grasses with clovers. The
grounds are beautifully laid off with
broad drives, lined on eitfier side with
young shade trees, among which the
catalpa, elm and magnolia are most
prominent.
The hour for services having ar?
rived, it was announced by the
ringing of the college bell. This was
followed by a bugle blast, and the
students, in their handsome gray
uniforms, assembled on the parade
ground, where they formed in battal?
ion more than two hundred strong,
commanded by student officers.
They were marched then to the green
in front of the hospital when they
were formed in two columns facing
inward to receive ike trustees. ' The
president and trustees, proceeded by
the drummer and color guard and fol?
lowed by the faculty and other
officers, and these in turn by the
battalion of students, marched in pro?
cession to the chapel, where seats had
been i eserved for the students. Here
your correspondent was struck with
the admirable discipline of the stu?
dents. They marched in quietly, divi?
ded into two columns at the door and
took their places systematically from
front to rear, and remained standing
until the command to take seats was
given, when all were seated at once
and quietly. .
The sermon was a masterly effort.
The preacher took his text from the
second chapter of Genesis, fifteenth
verse : "And the Lord God look the
man and put him in the Garden of
Eden, to dress and to keep-it,'' In
beautiful language Ike preacher 3iP*
scribed this earth as it was fresh
from the hands of the Creator and
showed how man must dress it and
improve it to make a fit habitation
for himself. He spoke of how mau
is often recreant to Iris trust ; Low,
instead of improving it, he despoils
it of what beauty and goodness it
already has ; the land is deprived of
its verdant forest and soon left a bar?
ren waste, washed with gullies, the
soil all gone. Ile exhorted all men
to endeavor to make some little
spot in this world better for their hav
iug lived there.
The preacher is aa earnest, elo?
quent speaker, and his sermon was
?lled with good, sound thoughts. He
preached again in the evening lo a
large audience.
After the sermon, your correspond?
ent visited the mess hall, which is a
large, spacious hall with seating ca?
pacity for several hundred. The
store rooms, bakery and cooking de?
partment are all under the same roof.
In the second story are two large
rooms fitted up for the literary soci?
eties. T-ke students form by compa?
nies in battalion and are marched to
and from Keals. In the mess hall
they are seated twelve at a table, and
ead) table is presided over by the
senior o?Ecer present, who' is respon?
sible for good order at his table. The
battalion is commanded by a student
officer, with rank of major, who is also
commandant of mess hall, and to him
the officer of each table is responsible
fur good order. Each student has his
particular place at the table, and, he
is net aUowed to exchange with an?
other without permission from the
commandant. When the students are
marched to the hall, each one goes
directly to his place at the table and
remains standing till commanded to
take scats, and when they are through
eating they must keep their seats till
coHiRian?ed to rise. 1 found the
tables wei! supplied with vegetables
raised in the college garden by stu

Many baking powders are very pernicious
to health, and while every one regards his

?owders-soda or salem tus. it contains no
urtfui ingredient-no alurA or ammonia.
SCIEXTEFIC.
All Chemists who havo analyzed Sea Foam
commend it. Housekeepers who have used it
will have no other. Cooks, whose bes* efforts
have failed with, other powders, are jubilant
over Sea Foam. Saves time, saves laut?; save?
money.
