Jilted. We met a Soph in one of the
halls a few days ago, and with tears in
his eyes he was gazing at a golden lock
of hair which he carefully treasured away
in the depths of his lank pocket book.
Failed. Mrs. Livermorc failed to meet
her engagement to lecture in this city,
because the snow-liend of Minnesota
woulden't lot hor come, so we must work
out "The Battle of Money" for ourselves.

Robinson Crusoe is it any reason that

in a sweat because they have just found

Law-suit. Ail important law-suit has
been begun by Attorney General Weil
stkii assisted by Hon. Sktii Roiiinson
against Messrs Silvers lor the recovery of
$100000 00 which it is alleged that these
gentlemen took for themselves when they
built our State University. A great deal
of interest is manifested in the case, and
it is said, thai $50 000 00 would have been
enough for the building. If the money is
recovered, it would be a good idea to build
domitories.
Tkmi-kuanck. The famous Women
Crusaders of which our editor has written
so much, have risen up in this city and
daily beseige the saloons. The Chancel
lor made a speech at the Opera House in
favor of the movement on the 151th of this
month. The ladies are meeting with suc

Who are dead, the ladies? Those la

dead. So Mr. Editor you may tel

The second verse begins thus:
"The reason they give Is no reason at nil
To my notion of a reason for dying"
Now I should like to know how any
thing that is dead can give a reason for
dying. The very idea is absurd. I wish

Visited Just after we had received
our lirst "forms" from the printing olllce,
we were surprised by receiving a call from'
seven young ladies. It was at first sup
posed that they were some of the Crusad
ers, but this thought was happily dispelled
when one of them proffered us a piece of
"copy." The typo who received the "take"
said he would "set it up" if he had to stand
on his head to do it; whether the young

On the 11th of this month one of the great
est men ever in our national congress died,
and a nation mourns her loss.
Charles Sumner was burn February (Jth,
1811,and was a college-bred statesman.
He attended Latin School in Boston, and
then went to Phillips Acudeni , and when
he was nineteen years of age, graduated
at Harvard. He studied law at Cambridge
and was admitted to the bar when he was
twenty-three. Ho was a very intimate
friend of the late Judge Story, the great
law-writer, Sunnier also wrote works on
law and his work on international law is
said to his best production.
When Daniel Webster look a seat in
President Filmore's cabinet!!, his place in
the senate was won by Sumner after an
exciting contest. The first great speech
he made was in 18."2 on the Fugitive Slave
bill entitled "Freedom National Slavery
Sectional." The title of this speech lw-
laid down as a maxim, and ever followed
it through the rest of his political career.
His next famous speech in congress was
"The Crime against Kansas" and occu
pied two days May 10th and 20th, 1N52,
in delivery. This was tlio greatest bomb
shell overcast into the ranks of slave-hol-dors,
and on the 22d of May, while writ
ting at his desk, he was brutally assaulted
by Preston S. Baooks w ho knocked him
insensible to the floor. In 1837 lie again
took his seat in senate, but again was com
polled to go to Europe on account of his
ill-health, however he soon again resumed
his place in Congress and on June 4th,
1800, delivered his greatest speech "The
Barbarism of Slavery."
In 1801 he supported Lincoln and Ham
lin in the presidential contest and re
mained a leader of the Republican party
until the last presidential campain, when
he assumed tho leadership of the Liberal
party, supporting Horace Greeley.
Mentally and physically Sumner and
Webster were very much alike. And he
was the only man who ever could have
tilled the place of Webster.
statements of his in reference to the roou
tation of Lincoln, and particularly the
odium ho tries to cast upon the character
of the ladies engaged in the tempoanco
movement in thts city.
There surely is chance enough in Ne
raska for two such mighty cities as Lin
coln and Nebraska City, to exist and pros
per without resorting to scurrilous attacks
to tear one another down. We ourselves
are one of the three students from the latter
city whence "Paul Howard" hails.
It would be much more manly in him to
write something to which ho is not
ashamed to sign his genuine name, and
shield us the part of the just reproach his
I am confident he will never breathe po-
etry in any other way.
A Living Pieiuan.
Though "Grimes" lias gone where the
woodbine twincth we will toll him when
he returns, that he can now stay the tears
that gush from his manly eyes. We are
sorry for "Grime?," but do hope that when
ho returns the "Living Pierian" will not
possess as much influence over him as
she has over the "modest youth." Wo
know -'Grimes" nnd wo know that it was
with pleasure he attended the afternoon
mcotings of tho lato Pierian society, and
(Id the living Pierians know how 'twould
