k&6 NO. 1. KDlTOIl'S XOTJS. 87 too long ami sombre, out its editorials arc most enjoyable. The touch on "The sis writing" was earnest and logical, and the editors evideuljy know how to speak right to die point. The only society journal among our ex changes is the Lorgnette from Omaha. It is chieily devoted to musical and dramat ic atlairs. It presents a very neat appear ance and in every way is : credit to its young editor The TlUni devoted less than two pages to editorials and at first we thought we should he obliged to administer a well deserved rebuke. Hut that one meagre solitary editorial was so poorly written and so very pointless that our only sec ond thought was one of thankfulness that no more were iutlilctcd upon us. The es say upon the School of the Pine Arts, Paris, was very interesting, and the article discussing "What shall be taught in our public schools" was novel and forcible.

The Alfred Student we greet this month for the first time. It give very little space to literary contributions, and that little Is almost wholly occupied in the publication t a prosy essay from one of their egotistical professors We echo the critticism of the (Eslrus when it says that the Student would tic more truly a stu dents' paper if all the articles were the product of student thought, instead of giving the literary department to a pro fessor.

Say, if that chest protector man has time to whittle us out u cofliu, send one here at once. Any size will uj. Tell the Hesi'KKian Student to furnish a few nails silver-plated preferred. We cannot survive the bitter sarcasm of our Nebraska friends. Niagara Index. All right Mr. Editor 1 The colliu shall be forthcoming, though wc doubt, if your sarcasm and conceit arc in any way pro portionate to your feet, whether any size will do. However, the nails are awaiting the fervently wished and long hoped for demise of the exchange editor, but wc are afraid he has as many lives us a cat, he has survived and almost thrived through so many tierce attacks.
