One of the most accomplished men in Kansas who attended last week the second annual meeting of the Seminary of Historical and political Science at the Kansas university declares that he was most agreeably impressed with the character of the speeches delivered by the students. He says they were full of good sense, with no "rose pink" nor "magnolia business" about them. The subject matter was excellent and admirably expressed. "There are plenty of young men at Lawrence," he added, "who are learning how to speak and write English and who know a good many other things."
The last "Women's Column" contains a letter from a number of Russian women to President Harrison demanding a better treatment of the women in the United States. The first paragraph runs thus: It is with amazement and profound regret that we learn of the despotic rule of men over women in the one country to which above all others the word turns with hope, expecting progress towards equal rights and privileges. And, fearing that you are either ignorant of the laws which injure your own country—women, or that you do not realize what a stumbling block such laws will prove to other nations, we herewith offer our earnest remonstrance against their longer continuance. We beg you, as head of the nation, as the bright exemplar to whom all your people look for guidance, to use your powerful influence to have these tyrannical and degrading laws removed from the statute books which their presence now disgraces.

Last Friday evening the officers and members of the Seminary of Historical and Political Science, entertained the associate members by an informal reception and banquet at the University. The reception was held in the University parlors, and among the guests were some of the most distinguished men in the state. At an early hour the party adjourned to Prof. Canfield's lecture room, where an elegant banquet was spread. The tables were placed, one on each side of the room, while a third connected them at the north end, and Prof. Canfield, as toast master, occupied the center. At the ends of the two latter Vice-President Blackmar and ex-Chancellor Marvin presided.
The Seminary Annual.
After the supper, to which ample justice was done, speeckmaking began. Director Canfield made a few introductory remarks, and read some of the letters of regret which he had received from those who had been unable to accept the invitation to attend the banquet. Hon. T. Dwight Thacher was presented and made a short address upon the early history of the University. Dr. Marvin followed, who also sketched in a very pleasant way the history of the institution during his career as chancellor. Hon. Noble Prentis next spoke, and told how he had come to call Lawrence "Historyville," which was both interesting and instructive. Short talks were then given by Hon. C. S. Gleed, Vice Director F. W. Blackmar, C. S. Finch, Colonel Green, H. F. Roberts, Otis Holmes, and Mr. Presby of the Public Opinion.
J. H. Bell & Bro., the popular Music Dealers, have just received a lot of new songs.
