Ntt Local News. 87 in blue. lllue glass is rendering many n ' poor devil" happy, suul causing tliu sick (o take up their buds ami walk. We manage to get what is due us, lint wo have a notion to get some blue circulars printed, asking people to subscribe. "We think it will operate like a charm. Ye loral in qucstof news is often coin polled to observe scenes, which make the heart sad, life a woeful existence. It's pit iable to see a young Prep or a gallant Sen ior approach her, and tremblingly speak n lew words to her, and then walk away with that agonizing expression. And it doi.t make matters any butter, to ask what's the matter. We have seen boys turn somersaults, hand springs, jump over high fences and perform other athletic feats. We have sien them get "fighting mad" and hurt each other. We never did think the girls could get " lighting mad," but they did the other day, in the arithmetic class; two ot them fought their dispute out in the old fashioned way, and made things lly. That's business. Our regular devil, with the assistance of the little one, carried one of the forms of the Stcdknt to the Dress office the other day. Our devil led the way. Angels lied before their approach, and teams be cainu uncontrolable on the streets. We gave the imps a quarter for their trouble, which they invested in tally candy and peanuts. The Stcimjnt olllce can get up a sensation anytime. Wo had an opportunity during the past month of listening to Prof. Sanga men's display of the powers of the human voice. He has the remarkable power of imitating the various musical instruments by his voice. Such as the guitar, tlute, trumpet, drum, etc. In fact be is quite a bniss band in himself. There was not n large attendance, and those present were principally youths of tender age. The Meteorology class, in the early part of the present mouth took a trip to Mil ford, Seward county, for the purpose of gathering geological specimens. Prof. Aughey accompanied them. The wenth er was fair when they started, but alter they arrived at their destination, a snow storm arose, thus preventing them, in a measure, from making collections. Prof. Aughey takes no little interest tn this class and will probably attempt another expedition of the kind at a more favora ble time. The Chancellor announced in the chapel not long since that if two or three students should suddenly disappear from the Univcrsiti, it might be taken for granted that they had been indefinitely excused from the University. Several did leave. The Chancellor is determined to maintain the good name of the Univer sity and w ill not permit a few to throw discredit upon the whole school. Scene, at City Heading Itoom. Time, Sunday eve. AyoungPalladian scuds a small boy to lovely miss, also aPalladinn. Note reads as follows: " Miss , shall we go to the concert this evening?" Signed . The gen- tic Palhuliau replies; "Mr. . Oh, dear! t don't know what to do. What will John say if I do? Are you not afraid of hurling John's feel ings? John has been at my side all the afternoon turning the leaves of the mag azine for me." Signed . The sidewalk on the street cast of the Universitj- is something of a nuisance. It is almost impossible lor two to walk arm iu arm on this sidewalk. There are but two boards on this walk, one on each side, there being an opening iu the mid dle. It is somewhat difficult for the aver age individual to walk .straight on a plank, even in a sober condition, when nights arc dark. If this sidewalk re maius much longer in this condition, the students of dormitory No. 2 will hnve to devote the hours of evening at home. They are pretty well crippled now. A literary contest will take place in the chapel of the University, Monday
