TBI 13 IIEKPEIUAN STUDENT. '0 HESPERIAN STUDENT. LINCOLN', NKHKASKA. l'nllmllau Society Hxor'lN(M. Friday evening, September lil, tlu llrst Society meeting of the term. .Mr. Roads, as president, called tin1 meeting to order and made a few rental ks on the history of tin society and the respect shown him during his term of ollice. He then gave up the chair to Mr. Stevenson, who made ujew remarks on being elected president, and promised to spare no pains in making the present term as profitable and inter csting as any preceding. There being no regular performance the following ques tion was selected for debate: "Resolved, That the pulpit allord-s a wider Held for eloquence than the bar," in which both sides were ably managed by a few of our host speakers. The M'cond meeting of the society was held September 20, and was rendered interesting by volunteers in the dillcrcnt classes. The declamations and essays wore excellent, and the debate was lively. The same desire (hat prompted the mem bers of !.ist year, seemed to incite the oht as well as new members of the society of this term to an ertwr to place the cxer cises of their lyceum w'.lcrc it once before .stood. The. exorcises of Friday night, the 27th, were tpiitt: interesting. The usual pro. gramme of declamations, essays and de bate constituted the exercises. Messrs. Croppy and Fields represented the declaiming class with credit. Mr. Ivuhl man read an instructive essay. Question debuted, "R'solved, That Chinese Immi gration is beneficial ;" in which the alllrmative wu maintained with consider, jiblo .skill by Messrs. Snell and Stone, while the negative was equally rcprc .Mjntvd bv Messrs. 1 'tigers and Stevenson, and was decided in favor of the negative. Tins exercises Friday evening, October ,illi, were decidedly the best we have had this term. Mr. Howard recited an excel lent poem. Messrs. Snowdou ami Thurs ton also recited very interesting pieces. The essays of Messrs. Watson and Street were very good. The question for debate was, "Resolved, That war advances civili zation," and was ably discussed by Messrs. Fields and Fasterdav on the alllrmative, and Messrs. Cropscy and Woods on the negative. After the regu lar debate, remarks were made by Chan cellor Renlon, Professor Aughey and others, and was finally decided in favor of the atlirmativf. The exercises on the evening of the 11th were interesting and amusing. -The declaiming class was represented by Messrs. Cobb and Mctcalf, who did well their parts. Rogers and Stone both gave good words through essays. The ques tionriebatetl, "Resolved, That the I'resi dent of the L'nited States should hold but one term of. oflice," was well ventilated by the regular debaters, and after the decision for the negative, was thoroughly discussed by the society in general. On Friday evening, the lyth, althoui;! a majority of the class did not see tit to perform their duty, the exercises were at the last enlivened to a considerable ex tent. The exercises by the appointed members who performed were excellent. Mr. Roads declaimed; and Messrs. Snow don, Snell and Eastcrduy read some good eisays. The debating class not perform iug, the question, "Resolved, That politi cal pnrtio3 me beneficial to State," was .jlvcn to the house tor free and open ills mission. The Chancellor made some instructive remarks, as did Rev, Mr. Lit tie, when the debate closed with the voice of the society in favor of the Alllrmative. Prof. Manly spent his vacation with friends in the east. He returns much refreshed. Our esteemed friend, Mr. C. W. Roads, has been appointed Librarian for the fol lowing year. Wo are confident no better appointment could have been made. The publishing of the Student has been let to Messrs. Street and Cropscy for one year. There are .some of our lady students, we understand, who contemplate studying law. Prof, to sharp philosophical student "Nature abhors a vacuum." "Which accounts for the sawdust in my head," not finishing as intended. "God makes opportunities," said a philosophical and bearded .Juny, "but man must hunt for them like everything" as a Prof, passed by. Few people arc underrated in this world. Our fellow-student, .1. S. Dales, is now visiting his old home in Ohio, recovering his health, which was impaired by a long spell of sickness. Hope soon to sec him again attending the University with good health Wc are glad to see so many new faces, among us, showing the appreciation the youth have of the great educational ad vantages offered by our youthful State.

I pay, chum, that Httlo girl digging for greens out here has just found n fresh man. A Junior translated his Tacitus thus: "Tho general was well defended, having so vnral opulent cities on his roar." Politeness is llko an air-cushion; there may bo nothing In It, but It ceases our Jolts wonderfully. A witness, in desclblng certain events, said: "Tho person l saw nt the head of tho stairs was a man with one eye named Jacob Williams." "What was tho name of tho other eyo?"' spite fully asked the opposing counsel. The witness was disgusted nt tno levity of tho audience. PolltCIICHH. A very polite people are they of Cochin China. In the conjugation of their verb? they use the noun "servant" instead of the first pergonal pronoun. Thus, lor "I love" they say 'Servant loves," etc. The Chinese strive to be equally agree able. They say "little man loves;" or, "subject loves;" or, "thief loves;" or, "blockhead loves." How would it do for us to adopt these forms? Some of them would til almost everybody. A very sentimental j'oung man would readily be believed if he should say "blockhead loves;" or a per son of "fast" tendencies if he should assert that "thief loves." A little expan sion of our grammatical forms would enable us in many instances to get much nearer the truth. Tinteun. CLARKE'S BOOK STORE.
