Morris Halligan writes a very interesting letter from Healdsburg, California, and wishes success to the Courier. Speaking of the country he says: "The Russian River valley in which this town is situated is very fertile, but it would seem like a small affair in Kansas where one becomes so familiar with the broad prairies. The winter is milder here than usual. There were a few heavy frosts about two weeks ago and the nights are now quite cool. The grass is green, the flowers and trees are in bloom and the general appearance is that of spring."
The moot court at Kent Club this evening will be even more interesting than a meeting of an oratorical association. All are invited to be present.

Hello Pal Dyche, have you heard the latest? We're to live on hot carbon, white beans and vinegar next year. Legislature is hot about this heresy of stuffed birds.

The title role will be taken by Miss Nellie Griffith and the part of the Prince by Mr. L. N Lewis. Abe Levy will have a prominent part. Doubtless the "bald-headed son" will be well filled on account of the chorus girls.

Evarts of New York, has accepted the invitation to deliver the annual address before the literary societies. The Baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Rev. A. H. Tuttle, pastor of the Mount Vernon Methodist church of Baltimore.—Capital-Commonwealth.
Unity Club.
In the "Social hour" which followed, Mr. B. W. Woodward entertained the audience with an account of the rise and fall of a learned elephant. Having read many abstruse and technical books and in particular found a taste for German, Metephysics and Philosophy, the elephant unconditionally surrendered to Robert Browning, in despair of unpretending when he killed himself.
The usual good audience assembled to hear Mr. W. M. Hayes' paper on "Three Stars." The luminaries proved to be Longfellow, Whittier and Emerson. Mr. Hayes spoke most appreciatively of the freshness, tenderness and reverence of these three poets, though he admitted that Whittier's Puritan intolerance of sin made his voice at times harsh and stern. Many of the authors' poems were read and Mr. Hayes was certainly very happy in his selections.
A lecture on Jean Francis Millet will be given by Prof. A.G.Canfield, in the Art Room this evening. A cordial invitation is extended to all.
W. K. Johnston, State Secretaey of the Y. M. C. A., was shown through the University last week.
Orophilian held its regular meeting in Orophilian hall Friday evening. The program was fairly well carried out and an extra treat was provided in the way of a talk on West Point by Mr. Sweezy. Mr. Sweezy is a cadet at West Point, and proceeded to give the audience a view of inside life at that school. He spoke of the hazing process which all new students were subject to during their first year; of rigorous squad drilling to which every new student is subjected; and to the usual severity of regulations and discipline of cadet life. All the mathematics are taught at West Point, and in the languages only French and Spanish. A failure in one stndy means an expulsion from the school. No fraternities exist there. There are no factions in the school and a general sociality and good will prevails. This, Mr. Sweezy attributed not only to the absence of fraternities, but to the severity of principles as well, which by not allowing students anything kept them from expecting and consequently from wanting anything. The lecture was well received and highly instructive. After recess the society debated the question of silver as a currency. Mr. O'Leary was interrupted by cheering down stairs (and is still after that fellow's scalp). The Society moved to meet every week. An Athenaeum interposed that an evening ought to be given by both the societies to the Choral Club for the purpose of singing University songs, but the intoxicating ebullitions of one Wine compelled said Athenaeum to sue for pardon- Society adjourned to meet in one week.
Ode To DeCamp.
No 21.
As we "nurse the clicking ivories," Or essay seductive "crapurs." We'll recall how smiling Montle Used to work the boys for "snaps."
We will miss you, Monte darling,
And will think, with many a tear.
How you used to "keep her rolling,"
"Ante-up" and "here! two beer;"
How your gentle vow would cheer us,
As in accents soft 'twould say
"What's the use—oh blame the lessons!
Bet I don't bone to-day."
And we trust that in Elysium.
You may ever, ever roam
With "Sweet Coporal Sigs" in plenty,
and a biliard hall at home.
