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.
