OUR BURRO
Sad eyed and patient was he, yet he did not impress us as a being very honorable. We called him Billy Mule when we were near the girls, but we had a large number of epithets which were applied to him whenever we had business dealings with him.
Billy was not of prepossessing appearance. He was too lazy to shake off flies hence he had a bloody nose at all times, and a generally disreputable dirty appearance. His ears had at some early day, been chewed into a fringe by the dogs. He had an all around hang dog look, as though his mother had not been careful of him. His color was a blue gray or slate color marked as usual by the dark cross.
Can anyone tell us why a burro always "bears a cross"? It is always there, a mark of servitude perhaps, or a symbol of the insults which he is forced to bear. Poor burro, he is cussed, beatened and maligned, yet without him mountain traffic would be impossible. A burro can go almost anywhere a human being can lead. He can bear burdens which no horse can carry over the rough roads. The endurance of these little fellows is simply wonderful. I have seen them loaded down with packs larger than their own bodies, yet no complaint from burro, rare a sad look, and a stream of tears.
Billy Mule was slow as a snail when he wanted to stay at home. No endearments could make him move. The most effective inducement was a sharp stick. When we first got Billy we were not up in the science of loading or "packing" a burro, as a consequence, we worked to get our supplies on his back, and when we had him loaded we started. All went well till the first hill was reached, then Billy knelt down and unloaded his burden. An hour's hard work undone in a second, was enough to make anyone swear. The atmosphere around "Timmie" was fairly congealed, while even one of the assistant professors said things that would spoil the sale of a Sunday school book.
The same scheme of unloading was adopted several times by Billy, but at last we learned how to put on a pack so that it would stay.
His other mean trick was that of leaving us some twenty or twen
ty-five miles from camp and going off to his friends. We had the sad experience of carrying his load and pack saddle home several times. Then we began to tie him, and he staid with us. We had no great confidence in Billy, no one could have after the shameful way he treated us, still we found him a most useful companion, and not one of us but what is glad to have made his acquaintance.

Exchanges.
Volapuk has been placed in the Yale curriculum.
One hundred and seventy-five out of the three hundred and sixty five colleges in the United States are represented by college papers. -Ex.
An exchange says that in the United States the Episcopalians have 12 colleges, the Congregationalists 26, the Presbyterians 41, the Baptists 46, and the Methodists 52.
It is said by an exchange that there is a student at Princeton seventy-two years old, who expects to graduate this year. He certainly demonstrates the truth of the words uttered by Longfellow, that "Nothing is too late till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate."—Emory Phenix.
The Shorter Chimes has quite a number of well-written articles in the May issue. Among the number is the piece entitled "Thorns," from which we quote the following true words:
Life, at best, is full of thorns, but we can, in a measure, lessen the pain they produce by using ever the balm of gentle words and kind deeds; in this way many lives may be made to blossom as the rose.
We clip the following from the Trinity Archive:
FRESH UTTERANCES—OUR HAT.
Here is the "Fresh," and here is the hat- We wonder what Juniors and Sophs think of that?
We won't wear a plug nor beavers of silk,
Nelther low-crown nor square-top, nor
hat of that lik.
A crush is our style, so a crush it shall be. For soft things just suit our complexton you see.
Sic *turcidam astra* is a motto for some
While others take *vivimus vivamus* a
What are the objects of an Exchange department? Judging from
the tone of some of our exchanges, it would seem to be to give the exchange editor a chance to find fault with the papers that come to his table. While one object is certainly to afford drill in literary criticism, still it should not be carried to the extreme. The prime object of the department should be to give the readers of the paper the cream of the college news, from the various college journals. We believe our readers prefer short, spicy clippings of this sort, in preference to squibs and criticism directed against journals which they never see, and probably never heard of, and the COURIER will endeavor to supply them.
Madison University, at Hamilton, N. Y., will henceforth be known as Colgate University.
Ex-Governor Pillsbury, of Minnesota, has given the University of that State $150,000. This is said to be the largest donation ever made to a state institution.
NOTES.
Athaeenum and Orphillan both have programs for this afternoon.
George Burton and McClellan Culver will not dictate the political policy of the barbs this year. This is official.
C. L. Harper, of Kansas City, has enrolled in the Freshman class.
W. W. Overton, of Wyandotte has cast his lot with the Freshmans.
Wm. DeFord comes from DePauw and will enter the Sophomore class
Sigma Nu has entered the "University of the South" at Sewanee, Tenn. This makes the sixth chapte they have organized within the past year.
There are nineteen fraternity Journals now being published in the United States. The last one to enter the list being the Alpha Phi Journal. The Alpha Phi Fraternity is a ladies society having chapters at the Universities of Wisconsin, Michigan, Northwestern and Cornell.
William R. Baird is preparing a new edition of his "American College Fraternities."
A strong anti-fraternity feeling exists at the University of Wisconsin. For some time the various fraternities have been choosing men for social, rather than intellectual qualities and have carried matters to such an extent that they now monopolize college society.
