Glgrlnprhiu Zllamlianfa BYRNE, GONZELLA-- was born in the city of Alabama. The first word she ever spoke was Aykay. From infancy she has been a songstress, having sung perfectly Bach's most difficult sonata, Angel's Serenade, at the age of three. She has sung before every audience in Europe and America. By much experience she has become proficient in the art of teach- ing and candy making. DICKENSON, Lucy- spent her childhood in the great city of Marion, Va. Here she had every advan- tage which a lunatic asylum, court house and public school could afford. She was always fond of the classics, and often burned the midnight oil reading A Mad Lover, or Won by Love. Having completed her studies at home she went abroad to Vassar College, and is now one of the noted faculty of V. I. FINDLAY, ALEXANDER- 'was born at the junction of the Nile and Amazon Rivers.

I.'s sheltering oak. HENDERSON, JoHN THOMPSON- was bom in the dark ages. The exact year of his birth is unknown. He may be younger than he looks or older than he seems. He has amassed a large for- tune by selling his raven curls to the Hair Mattress Company. He is a great patriot and fought bravely for the stars and stripes in the War of the Roses. He is very fond of iiowers, especially the Calla lily. JONES, Hoxmca LEONARD- was born in I7-. He is a poet, teacher, ladies man, and, as a soloist there is not his equal in America. But perhaps, he is best known to the world as a rat killer. Often in the Stilly Night he has been known to relieve his tortured neighbors of these troublesome animals. He is very fond of travel and has visited every nook and comer of Mississippi. JoHNSoN, MARION- was bom in North Carolina. But her youth was spent in Johnson City, Ten- nessee. She is a very decided old maid, not caring for society in the least. She may some day, however, overcome this strong aversion to society's charms. At present she is giving music lessons to Dr. Schemmel in Virginia Institute. KNox, JAMIE- was born in Arkansas. She and her brother, the Arkansas Traveler, made their debut as public readers in New York when she was ten years of age. Here she charmed the literary world, and her fame was secure. She is of a romantic nature and is a noted teacher of Physical Culture. She has discovered that gratitude is a much neglected virtue.
