8 THE HESPERIAN STUDENT. u. 6! V t the story runs, iiml In company with two or three others, ascended tlio Beaver river some miles on a skating tour. While on the route they cnmo to n collection or wigwums, occupied by tho noble Modocs. No sooner did tlioy be hold the gallant young ofllcer lluui tliey began to tremblo with exceeding great fear, and present their numerous packages of pusses that they might not bo molested in their much-loved pursuit, trapping. The lieutenant ac copied some of the smoky papers, read ilium with close scrutiny, then nftcr severely eyeing tho anxious spectators uwhlle, told them to carry themselves very straight and ho would permit them to remain. Primer. What do wo sco here? Why, my little fel. low, can you not tell what this is? This is tho University. What a large house it is! and so many windows 1 Do tell mo who lives in tills tall house. Dear child, this is hard for your young mind to see. This is not a house to livo in, but what you would cull a big school house. Now I know what you mean. How many Utile boys and girls must go to school herd Little one, you are wrong again This is not u school for small boys and girls, a3you thlnlo but for large ones, like those you seo standing in the door. At one lime Ihey were small like you, and went to school in a little white school house, like tho one near your uncle's farm. But they soon learned as much as tho teacher; then their good parents had to send them to this largo school. Where will tbey gt when they learn everything here? Oh, this is the last school; when they learn all that is here, they will not have to study any mow. See that young man coming down the stone stops I Ho has learned nil and is just starting home. He knows everything now and will not liavo to study any more How wise ho looks! Those books under his arm ho hns no need for now, and ho will soil or give them to that poor ragged fellow you seo at work near Ihc tree; he has not learned all that the law allows yet How clad I am to read this nice lesson. JjgxchmiQc gjric-x-brnc, Tho local department of the Whittenberg is very well sustained. Canada has 40 colleges, the United States 358, and Knglnud 1,300. Tho editors ol the Philomathcan Review send us a fine appearing and excellent Christmas number. The Morrin College Review, published nt Quebec, Can. ada, comes to us this week teeming witli good things, but its typographical appcaranco is bad very bad. According to the Trinity Tablet American colleges and schools need not pride themselves on their papers. The Trinity exchange man thinks tho majority of college journals are not worth (lie paper they arc printed on. The Notre Dame ScJiolaslic of Nov. 25th gives a five column notice of the exchange editor of the Georgetown College Journal. This article is by nil odds the best tiling that has appeared in the Scholastic for a long time. o Tho Oornellian contains a criticism on Ingcrsoll con sidered as a scholar and an orator. Ingersoll would feel awful bud if some rnsli friend should call his attention to it, but there is much truth and argument in it all tho mime. The icgunlsof the University of Minnesota arc serious ly thinking of lighting the university building with cloo. trie lii;ht. So says tho Ari Oollige Bays is a bright, news Journal, published by the studcnlsjil' Rlpou College. Tho paper on "Influ ences Affecting American Literature" is particularly good. The News Letter sends us tho holiday number winch has a neat brown cover adding much to the nppenranc of the excellent college pnper. This number contains tho second prize oration of the Qrlnnell Institute Anniversary, which is well worth a careful reading, also several other good articles. We look for something interesting from Central College if the faculty did not conclude to give tho students the Chiislmas vacation foi which they so earnestly prayed. Students look forward to this season as a time for rest and pleasure, and we cannot blame the Centralites for ox pressing such decided opinions on the subject The Phunny Phellow, of Nebraska City, comes to us screaming for an exchange. Certainly, we X with pleas ure. The Student thinks a good laugh the best thing in the world, nud knows of nothing else that is so well calculated to make one contented with hitnsolf and others as a half hour spent with this "scissors" of tho Phunny Phellow. Another new exchange is the Commercial Age, pub lished at the Wyman Commercial College, Omaha. No. 3 contains an address written nud delivered by President Garfield a short time belorc his death, and. many other interesting articles. We don't like the form of tho Age, still we dislike to cull it awkward, though that word says very nearly what we mean. Wc received this month a beautiful magazine from St. Louis, published by the students in Ihc School of Pine Arts, and called Palette Scrapings. The magazine is highly artistic; contains a fine front piece and numer ous sketches. The articles are spicy and sensible and tho Studukt hopes to bo fortunate enough to receive many more numbers of this journal. The Fin-man University of Greenville, S. C, sends us a modest-appcaring four-page paper which looks a great deal like the Sunday 8chool Advocate. There is n sort of "sameness" nuout this paper that is uniiEual in a col lege journal. There arc no locals, no personals, no fun ny business, no nothing except short pnpers on such sub jeets as "Woman," "Ambition," "The Past and the Fu ture," which by mysterious association of Ideas takes us back to our happyjhigli-school days.
