Our Exchanges. OUH EXCHANGES. They come in fust, ami for the most part, contain excellent articles, pertaining to ever branch of knowledge. Ry read, ing thorn we gain practical ideas respect ing the coming men who must take up the groat burden of Science and Litera ture. We first glance at the Archangel. It is n " wish-footer." It contains some good thought, nevertheless on " Thought and Action," It is, undoubtedly, an excellent representative of St, MichtuPs. The neatness of the William Athcuamm is ccitaiuly worthy. of compliment. Its "Concentration," too, is somewhat com mendable. In all probability, the author of the article has reached the focal dis tance of the " extreme form." A " crotch et " might save him. Ah, mcl The Chronicle, also, as the editor has said, "so far as mere typographical neat ness is concerned, has no superior." It looks well. There is one cfiort at poetry, nevertheless, under the head of "Shad ows." It is, indeed, well written, and shows how much some do and how much we can work ourselves into our subjects. The editor, also, starts out bravely, and well defines how he is " not bounded by his own narrow horizon." Tnc Irving Union, too, looks well. In fact, all of our exchanges do. It con tains rather a rcmnrkable article on "Au tumn Sunset." There is also a short(?) interesting one on "The National Regat ta." The editor makes a wonderful point on "Why not?," urging those who ought to he interested to "come and help us." There is certainly great complaint." The editor is undoubtedly harassed by great fears that the paper, as he says, " will fall through." Allow us if you please, to assist you by echoing " Why not?" The Volante is the very model of neat ness and taste. It fittingly represents the great University of the northwest. The Niagara Index (index, however, of nothing stronger than Catholicism) has made its appearance. Somewhat softer, by the way, than usual. It has the Catho lic way of pouncing upon everything but its own cursed self-conceit. This we do clerna'iy dilslike and loathe. . This month the paper contains a long-winded article on "Catholicity and Republicanism," which the writer shows(V) to he everlast ing companions. Resides this, it contains a good many " Wrong Ideas " and it great deal loo much of "Other Matters." The diamond sentence in the first named nrti cle reads thus, " We much doubt that had it not been for thcuutiringzeal which the French nation a nation professedly Catholic manifested in the cause of our foicfathers' stiuggling to break the chains of tyranny, wc would now be what we are." We submit. Take up your muddy cross, brother Index, and go in peace. The Xeotcrian, as usual, looks healthy in every respect. It speaks well of the Lawrence University. One rare feature of the paper is its "Centennial Cor respondence," and whilst reading it, we sorrow thai the harvest has passed and the summer ended and yet we have not visited the Centennial. In the November number, we notice "Social Passports," and "Americanisms." Point and snap arc whatwc look for; we rarely find them. The Jlcportcr contains several very good and appropriate articles. There's one signed by Mr. Milton. Wc hope he will take the advice of the immortal Greeley and come West, that we, "may receive a blessing also." The Targum contains a handful of com pliments. There is no commodity so cheap that afibrds so much plcasuse. How interesting is a half column of solid names ! How our own little breast swelled when we saw our name in the center. Such a collection must require a great deal of labor, and shows that the " gentle men have settled down to work." -'MiOur.- eSSsOI
