We like to have our fellow-students come to see us, but we do wish they would not read "copy" and set-up matter. Pitoi Aughey has recently placed in the museum, over 200 specimens of mount ed mosses from the slate of Pennsylvania. At the city grammar school oneoftho girls in makiiigaspeech,said that the name Matilda has a sickly sound, and was only fit for a nurse's trade. Somi: of the University girls are going around to the saloons with the Crusaders. We guess that is the reason so many of the boys are signing the pledge.

PitOK Snki.i, who is teaching the city grammar school, is greeted every Friday afternoon by large numbers of the Uni versity boys, it is a query whether they go to see him or his lady students. 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.

Because Daniel DeFoc wrote Robinson Crusoe is it any reason that our University library should be stocked with all It in writings? We would com mend the Faculty to read some of these volumes, no doubt they would prove to bo very interesting(?) TiiouiUiE.

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 cess, especially among the students; for flings have merited, which we are now forced to bear. But if lie must take a noin de plume let him spare the name of a fellow-studentour Editor-in-chief. The co incidence is reprehensible earolesMicss.

If you want work done in the neatest and most stylish manner, Holling er is the man to patronize. lie can re move even the segregated and prospec tive capillaries from a Fresh's chin with such elegance and case that the enraptur ed youth will fancy himself gently sooth ed into the land of dreams by tiie soft ca ressesof his lady love.

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."

BitOTHEit.-There is nothing like having a big brother as one of our prep misses recently found out. The big brother went for a student because he wrote a note to the young lady and put it in a 4x10 envelope. The student said "I I meant iit'fpr aijo-jokc." She had a "previous engagement."

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 please "Grimes," wo are certain thev would resurrect the beautiful skeleton and breathe life into its dry bones.
