One said he could paw the ivory if thes other could howl. As the gentle southern winds arc blow ing, our enterprising janitor is pr paring torn ake our campus look like a little Eden. Friends, the students arc wor';!.:ig to make our paper an honor to the Stato. Wo need more subscribers and advertisements. The boys arc practicing base ball every day, and we expect to see a University nine, that will be bard to beat, organized soon. The Studknt is run on the "cash in advance" system and any one in arrears for subscription will be stricken oil' the hooks. The student who woke up his land, lady at the dead hour of night was only reciting the sleeping scene from the play of "Macbeth" Mac. Cobb was favorably spoken of aa a candidate for the olllcc of city clerk at the late municipal election, but he de clined the nomination.

(tf) One of our Sophs was boasting the other evening about what company he could get. He said ho could got the skele ton down stairs. Birds of a feather, etc. At a meeting of the Hoard of Managers of the Stident Association, Amos E. Wuntt was authorized to solicit stibscr'p tioiis and advert isements for the Studknt. We mot ono of the students a few dajs ago rushing around, to ascertain what was the moaning of the term "for. ger." according to the code of this Slule. The reason why one of tho University students, who is n" a legislative turn of mind, was not examined at tho oloso of lust term is that he nightly attends the KtXKioilt). f Students should bo careful and patron. izc only those who advertize in tho Stu dunt. For those who have enterprise enough to advertise will sell tho cheapest every time. Studknt: (to friend who did not pass examination.) Are you going to attend the University next term? No. lam going to an eastern college where a fellow can learn something. Now that the prairie is becoming cov ered with verdure somo of our students will not be so lonely, as they were during the winter, for they can llnd much that is green besides themselves. Prof, (in Rhetoric class) Can anyone tell mi' the meaning of the word "bathos?" Soph, (who is noted for his vocabulary) Hath-housc, Professor? Why, isn't that a place where people go to wash oil'? How provoking it was, when that Fresh took his girl to church the other Sunday night, to have the usher put her in ono pew and him in another, when thoro were good seats :n the house. Those fashionable neck-scarfs can in procured at P- S. Sheldon A; Son's where you will Hud all kinds of collars, shirts and everythihg that a young man needs in the way of stylish clothing. (tf.) One of the boys appeared very much excited, and, upon being asked what was the matter, said: "It'll don't .stop es- coning Miss home from the Universi ty every day he will certainly be slaughter' ctl. Sweet williams are beautiful llowcrs, and wo have several in chapel every morn ing, both summer and winter. Hut some of the boys in speaking of them call them by the inelegant though common name of "Hill." If the University boys were as near the river as the Students down at the Nor mal School are, wo would organize a boat club; yet, none of us desire to develop our muscles by rowing on the unroman tic Salt Creek. Prof. Aughey has prepared and pub lisbed a cataloguo of the flora of Nebras ka,adaptcd for marking desiderata in ex change of specimens- Botanists will hail with delight this llrst collection of (lie Ho rn of Nebraska. Commkndaiim:. Ono of tho students came into chapel a few mornings ago with a beautiful, long, yellow hair on his '!oat collar. When it was pointed out to him, ho blushed and modestly said: "0 ! that is mother's." "Wk wore surprised on looking over the stock of goods kept by Jacobs Bros. & Oakley, and at tho extreme low prices at which they hold their goods, and think it will pay every one to give them a call be fore purchasing. (tf.) Ono of the new students was seen walk ing proudly through the hall with a paper in his hand. When asked why this was tlnisly, answered, "I have just taken out my naturalization papers to become a cili zen of this xhebaitg" He was with two young ladios, and the shoe of one becoming unlaced, lie very gallantly offered j tie tho same, but tho other young lady most "painfully'' insisted that he should not. Of course he complied with the request. At a special meeting of the Huwehian Studknt Association, the resignations of A. E. Gantt, Local Editor, E. P. Holmes, Business Manager, and Geo. S. W. Boborts, Secretary, were acpted. The Association then elected "W. A. iJcAllister, Local Edi tor, L. B. Church, Business Manager, and II. W. Caldwell, Secretary. Tho reason, tho gentlemen resigned was, they do not expect to attend school this term. The ladhs in (lie chemistry class arc rejoicing because they have discovered a test by which they can tell when theyouna men have been drinking alcoholic drinks. Don't rejoice prem iturely, h dip-.; there is no aleol- 1 in the Lincoln liquor. --Wo , ad this month a number of Sir dkntr to friends at homo and abroad, and if they deem it worthy of patronage tho arc respectfully asked to subscribe.

The subjects of that nation all discharged their duties well. Wo wore especially pleased witli their paper. Many of "Tho Barbarians of the North" were there but they made no demonstration to capture tho country. Foiick Ok Ha hit. As a freshman wascscorting a friend, who at their board-ing-houso answers to the euphonious title of "Pard," "California," Are, through the University, they stopped into the Chancel lor's room. Fresh: Mr. Par. . Cal.-.. good morning Chancellor. Exit Fresh and tVond. Talk about the punishment of Herod or Nero. Why, it isn't a circumstance to what Prof. Olney should sutler for writing the third part of his University Algebra. It's the essence of a life of meanness, and does no good in the world, but to increase the student's vocabulary of the profane language. Among our clippings, this month, we reproduce a story from the Volante, that exactly indicates the way in which some people can botch a good thing. This was the real style of the incident : Ono table-waiter, at a St. Louis hotel, said to another, while pointing at Thack eray, "That's the distinguished Thaeker!" " Is it ?".-aid theothciv'What'shedonor' " D d if I know!", was 1ho reply. And it was all about a handkerchief Poor fello'v, he was unprepared for what henceived. His landlady informed him at the dinner-table that a married woman had called to see him. Of course inno. cence blushed, and meekly inquired what tho lady wanted. "Well," said his landlady, "she said that you have a hand' kei chief which you think belongs to her daughter, and that handkerchief belongs to her, and she wants you to return it. Her husband came with her, and I would advise you to return it as soon as possible." The next wo saw of him lie was hunting up an exptess-man to deliver tho same. The recipient of a gift is generally happy so long as he possesses ho present, b"t some of these honest young men woulif never keep any tiling if they knew they had no right to, but still wo presume that the fellow who had thatdaii'ty piece of blue ribbon tied around his wrist by one of the beautiful and fair joiing ladies will ever preserve it ab a memento of the past when ho was bin i led upon, evui though the blue ribbon belonged to an. other young lady, who would rather have seen it on a any other gentlemen's wrist, before it was placed on his. Moral tho girls should not lend their ribbons to every girl who asks for them. At a special meeting of the Board of Begentb held on the 24th ult. a committee was appointed to consider the feasibility of fitting up the basement and third story of tho University for the use of gentlemen students, and to fit up the rooms under the chapel for a kitchen anil dining hall. This , would accommodate sixty or seventy stu dents. It is also their intention, we believe, to erect, as soon as possible, a brick dor mitory on, or near, the campus, for the use of young ladios. We think our present Board of Hcgonts mean business, and have no doubt but that they will do all in (heir power to forward the interests of the Uni vorsity, by furnishing the students with cheap and comfortable boarding places. But as their moans are limited, would It not be a paying investment for the citizens of Lincoln to build a dormitory for gentle men, similar to the one contemplated? Cheap board is one of the essential things to till tho University with students. The Chancellor appointed Saturday, the 17th, as arbor day, and requested all tho students to come and 'set out somo young trees. We arrived on the campus about 10 o clock, and shortly after some of the boys who wanted to leave a monument. at their alma uvter that would endure lor.tr after they had passed away, sot to work, digging, preparatory to planting the tiees which were to bo -.out in from tlu ag.lcul tural farm. A good many b.id boj-, who would sooner play than work." began throwing a bM from 0110 to the other, thus wasting many a precious hour which they should have improved. "What made it worse was, that alltho Profs., being too tired by their week's work to be present, trusted to the honor of the boys, and that is the way their trust was repaid. If these boys don't reform thov will never die young nor get their names in a Sunday school book. Thanks are due the Janitor for the way he rushed around to borrow spades for the ac commodation of the boys. PERSONAL. C. V. Martin is rusticating. A. E. Gantt is reading law at Neb'aska City. W. II.
