Bohemian Girl.
Lawrence is to have one more great treat before school closes. Miss Brown and Prof. Penny have not worked so hard this year to make anything a success as they have the Bohemian Girl. This opera is considered one of the best in the stage, and the solo parts in it are to be sung by the best singers in the city, and Mr. Halloran, the well known tenor singer, comes from Kansas City to take one of the parts. The chorus has been practicing nearly every night for two weeks. It will be a grand opportunity for visitors during commencement, to enjoy one of the finest entertainments ever given in Lawrence. It will pay students to wait and hear it, for it is hard to tell when they will have another chance. Miss Brown's direction vouches for the action of the play. Remember the time; next Friday, Saturday, and the following Monday nights.
Will Taylor, one of Seneca's "all-around men," returned from Chicago, Tuesday. He procured from Armour the secret of how to make the best sugar cured bams" going, and will impart it to his father, our popular agriculturist. — Seneca Tribune.
Paul Wilkinson, our versatile sugar chemist, left this week for Lawrence to attend a student's party. Paul says that no polariscope is necessary to discover the sweetness of his Lawrence girl.—Seneca Tribune.
As one passes by many of the residences on Tennessee street, the odor of the flowers reminds them of the perfume offered at Raymond's, so sweet and lasting. Prepare for commencement.

A Justice Loving Rooster.
A Justice Loving Rooster.
An incident which caused much amusement and set everybody talking occurred in the court room on a recent afternoon. John Williams, who had been charged on several indictments for burglary, felonious entry, larceny, etc., but was decided not guilty on all but three indictments, pleaded guilty on the indictment for larceny. During the day a rooster was offered in testimony, it being claimed that the prisoner had stolen the bird.
Now this rooster, like any other sensible bird, kept its mouth shut and behaved very nicely indeed during the trial. But when Judge Bittenger called the prisoner up and passed sentence upon him the rooster could contain himself no longer, and from within his basket prison there came a crow of delight and exultation. The effect was rather startling as well as amusing. The crowd cnuckled with suppressed merriment, and even the stern judge was noticed to relax his countenance a little. The merriment at length subsided and the rooster was voted a dangle. But that historic bird had not yet fully demonstrated his appreciation of the circumstances to his own satisfaction.
Williams was afterward called up to receive sentence on another indictment, and the unsuspecting people were again almost electrified by hearing another hearty crow from the rooster. That bird was evidently glad that the prisoner was sentenced and wanted it understood too. —York (Pa.) Daily.
A Living Dynamo.
A correspondent in New London, Conn., sends out this remarkable story: George Rood, of Westerly, R. I., was struck by lightning, and after recovering consciousness it was found that his body was full of electricity. He is now able to sit up, but his body is so highly charged with electric fluid that when he puts his hands within a certain distance of each other sparks will jump from one to the other with a loud, crackling noise, and when the hands touch they can be separated only by the most violent rubbing. His feet are in the same condition, and he has to be careful to keep them apart. A person touching him receives a slight shock, and if he touches a watch he magnetizes it completely. Many people visit him to witness the curious manifestation of electricity's wonderful power.
Potatoes Growing on a Grape Vine.
Potatoes Growing on a Grape Vine.
The owner of a garden in Greenville had occasion recently to prune a grapevine. In his ignorance he failed to consult "Daboll's yearly clam tide regulator," and mutilated the vine in the wrong season, with the result that the fluid extract of grape began to run and there was danger of the vine bleeding to death, when a happy thought went through his brain. Securing some large seed potatoes, he dissected them and applied the pieces to the cuts. They stuck together like twin brothers and the vine and potatoes flourished, gathering life from each other, till now they form a conglomeration of grape and potato vine that is attracting the attention of farmers and agriculturists for miles around.

Texas Is a Big State.
One must travel from the north end of Jasper county to the south end to realize the great difference in temperature. Crops may safely be planted in the southern end of the county a month earlier than in the northern part. Oranges may be raised in the south end of the county with more safety than figs in the north end. Serious damage was caused to the fruit crop at Jasper by the late cold spring, yet twenty miles below town it seems not to have affected vegetation in any manner.Jasper (Tex.) News Boy.
The only denizens of the old familiar Goetel house, at the corner of Broadway and Nineteenth street, New York, are the sister of the late Mr. Peter Goetel, who left her a life interest in the place, and two old colored servants—a man and a woman. These do the work of the establishment, within doors and without.
It is the boast of Dr. Gallinger, the new senator from New Hampshire, that he has set type in nearly every newspaper office north of Mason and Dixon's line and between Maine and the Mississippi. His political career began in 1884, when he was elected to congress.
The total output of coal in the United Kingdom last year reached, according to the official statistics just published, 181,644,288 tons, against 176,916,724 tons in 1889. The increase was thus 4,697,564 tons, or nearly 27 per cent.
The object of the People's party is expressed in the language of the president of the convention that started it, Hon. W. A. Peffer, the Kansas senator. "The money power must be overthrown. We are here to take hold of, to undermine, to dispose of forever the power that is crushing the people all over the world; that has in its hands not only my home and yours, but the homes of 50 per cent. of the people of the entire world." Every hit at the grinding millionaire monopolists and great land owners was cheered wildly.
Inoculating for disease germs is now to be tried in the agricultural field. Professor Snow has cultivated the germs of a disease that is expected to wipe out the chinch bug, which is so destructive to field crops. The chinches eat up the corn; but Professor Snow will endeavor to scatter among them an infinitesimal microbes that will eat them up.
It is thought there is some hope for relief from Chicago smoke in factories by a new system of down draft furnaces, recently introduced. By these furnaces The Chicago Tribune informs its readers that 90 per cent. of the smoke is prevented and fuel is saved. There is yet time for manufacturers to adopt the new system before the opening of the Columbian fair.
