Sonic of the most comical speeches
coma from tliu little ones. The other day
we heard a Utile girl who had boon down
town say thai she had seen a horse
which had tiie croup or (lie whooping
cough she didn't know which. She hud
heard the voice ol a mule Moating on tins
breo.e.
Curtain Sophmoros are in the habit of
relying upon the promptings of their
classmates. Some astonishing informa
tion is .sometimes elicited. The class
was assured the oilier day that Homer
was the greatest orator of antiquity and
that Hits fame of Uly&sos resulted chiefly
from his excellence as a cook.

iniquity. AVo are holding our breath,
awaiting further developments.
Wo paid a visit to the Tiehonor House
Literary Society the other evening. The
Society is in a llourshing condition, and
we noticed several who seem quite back,
ward in our societies held in the Univer
sity, taking a prominent part in the ox
cruises. It will, on this account, lie pro.
duutlvu of much good. The only thing

Prof. Collier's lectures were a big suc
cess. They were all welcomed by
crowded houses. The legislature at

A high license bill was introduced and
passed in the Senate, the provisions of
which apply to all but Professors of this
