The latest novelty in jewelry consists of a curious and effective phrevoilier that has been known in Egypt for the past eighteen centuries, and worn as a charm by ladies and gentlemen. The name of this prosperity-bringing talisman is "Oudja," signifying luck and happiness, and it shows the eyes of Horus, from which a teardrop flows, intended to represent the river Nile. The peculiar property of the "Oudja" is to bring good luck; but the Pharoahs looked upon it as an emblem not only capable of warding off adversity, but also of having a large influence over the goodly yielding of the earth, containing as it does, the main principles and fertility, that is, fire, represented by the sun Horus, and water flowing as the Nile. The charming little amulet is being adopted by many members of the aristocracy in Paris and London, and is presented by friends to one another with the graceful wishes used on such occasions, to such an extent that no person with a particle of superstition will exist without his or her "Oudja."

N. Y. Graphic.-There was hardly standing room in the Fifth Avenue theatre last night when the curtain was rung up on Mr. and Mrs. George S. Knight's new edition of "Over the Garden Wall." The piece is a combination of songs, dances and laughable sayings, divided into three acts, very cleverly fitted together, as interpreted by Mr. and Mrs. Knight. It is one of the most amusing absurdities imaginable, and kept the house in continuous laughter for nearly three hours. An old theatre goer remarked at the end of the performance, "It is without exception the best entertainment of the kind I ever saw." And he was right. There is enough fun condensed into the piece to satisfy the most cynical, and as an antidote for melancholy it "knocks out" anything in the drug shop. See it for yourself.

The Ladies Win.
When the appointments made by the faculty of the University for commencement day were announced, there was much disgust among the young ladies of the class over the fact that only one of the six was a lady, and that the lucky ones were chosen by the faculty as a matter of personal preference, and not as a reward for scholarship or oratorical ability. The class day program is selected by a vote of the members of the class, and the election was ordered for 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. The young ladies did not go home for dinner, but remained at the University while the sterner sex were satisfying their appetites, and held a caucus.
The class is evenly divided between the sexes, but two of the boys were away and the girls had the majority. In a manner worthy of any political caucus, they fixed their slate and when the meeting was called to order at once took charge. Their whole slate was triumphantly elected, much to the disgust of the boys, who did not know whether to laugh or get mad. But it is settled now, and the young men must "grin and bear it." The program selected in such a charming manner is as follows:
Salutatorian, Evelyn Smith.
