Considerable has been said about
hazing at Colleges, and we copy the fol"
lowing from the "Stututcs at Large," the
law was passed at the lirst session of
the Forty-Third Congress.
The student who stubbed his toe ou
one of those stones on the west of the
University is said to have been talking

was performing in society, she walked in

The student who tell down the front
stone steps indignantly denies that lie had
a brick in his lint, and we are left to be
lieve that lie was either star-gazing or
thinking of that last "previous engage
ment." Tho .student who was talking 1

When that student, who talks in his
sleep, awakened his chum by talking of
"cues" it was supposed that he had refer

when he began to talk of "carom on red"
it seemed as though he was at that match
.game the other night.
Those square while envelopes that
the students receive from the post ofllce,
about the last of tho week, bearing a one
cent stamp, are the source of many sur
prises and disappointments surprise that
8ho should accept or disappointment tnat
Bhe did not. But then there is nothing
like getting used to it.
The student who carries a piece of
feather around in his pocket-book is caus
ing considerable comment, but the ma
jority of his friends have settled down on
two probabilities either it is a piece of
a turKey-buzzard's leather, preserved as a
relic of some pleasant hunt, or it is a
leather from the hat of some young lady.

Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That In

Now we expect that tho poor little ca

may have been necessary to pass such a
law for their government, but if our

Exouusion. Yo local of the Student
was so fortunate as to receive an invita
tion from the state editorial fraternity, to
attend an excursion to Brownville on the
35th of February, and of course we ac
cepted; although wo were not fortunate
enough to secure a young lady for the
trip, we took our handorchief and started.
The train hauled out of Lincoln at one
o'clock and about five o'clock we ran into
Nebraska City, where we were joined by
the representative's of the press of that
city, and as wo were en route to Brown-
ville we took a list of the people on board
but through misfortune lost the same.

following morning on our return wc did
not get to sec much of the town. But we
found their schools in good condition and
praise on the tongue of every ono for Mrs.
Ebright who has charge of tho primary
school. On the return trip we stopped at
Peru an hour or so, to visit the Normal
School. We found it all they claim for it
and one very prepossessing feature in its fa
vor is the fact that it is set among tho hills
and trees, which must in the summer time
cause it to assume a splendid appearance.

Tiie first article which this "smiling
faced child of golden hope" referred to,
was written by "O. C. D:" which Initials
are quite familiar to all our poetically in
clined students. The Review "no longer
delights in infant food or cradle songs, but
in quest of stronger diet has grown into an
ambitious youth and" j-et, this poor little
"smiliog.faced child &c," gulped when
swallowing the "Scraps from 1113' Note
Book." Too bad, that the diet was so
strong !
The Hesi'Euian Student, of Lincoln,
comes to us in a new form, it now being
in the shape of a magazine. It looks well
and is a credit to Nebraska as an amateur
journal. It has got a new editor, and he
throws down the following in his salutato
ry: "All hail, blustering New Year! Wei
come to these latitudes, thou boisterous
cherub, though thy hoary beard shakes
many an icicle, and tho harsh breath rush
es from thy frosty nostrils somewhat too
fiercely for an infant." Bad case. If the

The High School with its characteristic
energy makes up its locals from a sneecli
