Coolness in e. Mixed College.
Coolness in a Mixed College.
There is a coolness between the boys and the girls of the Stanford university. It all came about from a question of propriety. The boys gave a ball in their dormitory hall on Monday night, to which they invited all the girl students, as well as the professors. Elaborate preparations were made, and the young men anticipated an evening of enjoyment. They hired a band, and had the dormitory beautifully decorated.
One or two of the more modest and refining of the maidens in the girls' dormitory were shocked at the avowed intention of some of the girls to attend the bull, and called a meeting of the girls, at which there was a long discussion of the affair.
Many of the fair students said they could see no harm in going to the ball as long as the professors were willing, but the more prudish damams read a strong lecture on the cvilis of such doings, and on a vote, there was a majority in favor of not attending the ball. So none of them went.
The boys waited long for the coming of the fair ones, but they came not. At first the collegians were very merry. Then they took the dancing floor themselves and made a "stag" party of it. They say, however, that for future festivities they will send no invitations to the girl students. This suits the ultramodest among the latter, but the sociable girls feel crushed.-San Francisco Chronicle.
To Celebrate the Marseillise.
Another effort is being made by the inhabitants of Choisy-le-Roi, outside Paris, to observe with much solemnity and ceremony.1 what is vaguely called the "Centen- y of the Marseillaise." Choisy-le-Roi Juinus to possess the dust of Rouget de Ubèl—the composer of the hymn—who was buried there in 1836, his birthplace being Lons-le-Saunier, in the department of the Jura. On this account the members of the borough council consider that they have the right to take the initiative in organizing a Right Republican festival this year, as the Marseillaise, under the title of "Chant de Guerre de l'Armee du Rhin," was first heard in 1792.
President Carnot is to be asked to become honorary president of the committee of the fete, and appeals $^3$ funds will be made to all the cities, ad also to communes which possess ; ore than 4,000 inhabitants. No date as yet has been fixed for the celebration of the centenary, to which it is presumed that every patriotic Frenchman will give his sentimental and sympathetic—if not practical and pecuniary—support.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph
A Much Traveled Volume.
In opening a package of books wrapped in tin, the custom house inspectors cut with a knife the binding, by Ruban, of a "Poor Richard Almanack." The importer made no claim for damage from the government, paid the duty, returned the book to Paris to be rebound and wrote an ode to Diama of Politics, goddess of book lovers, in gratitude for the miraculous escape of the text of his Almanack. The book, rebound, came back fifteen days ago. The owner supposes that it is intact, but he does not know, and he cannot learn even by paying the duty again, for the official want, a new invoice, and the importer is naive enough to think that he can persuade the official that the first invoice, which is filed at the custom house, accurately describes the book on its fourth voyage across the Atlantic.—New York Times.
A Russo-Chinese Railway.
A Russo-Chinese railway is reported as the objective point of negotiations now going on between Russian and Chinese representatives. Russia wants the right to build a railway from Vladivostock, the Pacific terminal of the proposed Siberian railway, across the northern boundary of Corea to Tien-Tsin, and thence to Shanghai. The alleged object is quick transit of Chinese tea and silk to Europe. The Chinese, however, are very jealous of Russian influence in the east, and will probably decline Russian aid in railway building.—Engineering News.

The Courier in New York.
Mr. E. P. Allen, who attended K. U last year writes from New York concerning the Courier in an entertaining fashion. Here is an extract: "I get the Courier every week and, ooh! how long it seems from one Tuesday evening to another. I always hurry home faster on that particular evening than upon any other of the week. I hurry through dinner and rush to my room and 'there is my Courier. I hastily open it, trim my candle and literally absorb all that 'is in that precious paper. I read everything from the 'head' to the last line of the advertisements. It transports me, body mind and soul, once again to Lawrence What a motive power the Courier has! I often wonder if other K. U. sutes are affected as I am, and now excited I become when reading about the wondrous foot ball victories. T a great game between Princeton and Yale in this city, to me pales into insignificance when compared to K. U's achievements on the "field de kick." In reading the splendid Courier accounts, I am frequently on the point of breaking out with a "Rock chalk" that would almost wake a Few York policeman
I must congratulate the present Counter staff upon the "make up" and "get up of the paper" Coming from an exhaustor, of course that is expert testimony."
From the above we would infer that although eighteen hundred miles away, E 's loyalty to K. U. is as strong as ever.
