The Kappa Alpha Theta will be at home New Years day, from 2 until 7 p.m. at the residence of Miss Jo Cooke, 1408 Kentucky street.
It makes us feel lonesome to walk down Massachusetts street, and not meet the boys and girls of the University, but 'tis only for a little while that they are gone.
C. D. Dean, our former business manager, now city editor of the Lawrence Journal, took H. F. Smith and C. E. Parker through the University Tuesday.
The citizens of Lawrence are learning to appreciate university entertainments. The chapel was crowded twice in one week by people who climbed Mount Oread to listen to university music and oratory.
The A., T. & S. F. depot was a lively place at 11 O'clock last Friday night. About a dozen boys left on the night train, and twenty more were there to see them off. They made the place ring with their songs and yells.

Crew says for all students to come to his store first for their second term books. Remember this. He evidently means low prices. As a patron of student enterprises generally he deserves special consideration. Extending cut rates, give him your trade.
The Courier appears this morning with its Social Department brim fall. An article headed "Cupid's Darts" announces that the editor is in communication with His MaJesty, and as a beginning details the reported engagements of nearly a score of couples of young people in the city. No names are given, but all recognizances are easily deduced. Sullivan announces behead he is responsible for the article, that it is work of the addresses of men who want to be made receptacle of any irre generated thereon. It especially will be found very interesting reading. Sullivan does not announce when the wedding, but we understand it to be in the early days of June, or perhaps sooner, if the sleighing should improve.—Journal.
George Bergen, a K.S. U. student of '82, now of Washburn College, has a good article in the Washburn Argo.
Nineteen new volumes were received at the University yesterday for the library. The list includes the fifth volume of Van Halst's History of the United States, besides several valuable works on mathematics and political economy.
With pleasure we give space to
the following exclamation received :
The Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity wishes to explain terms used in the columns of the Courier. "Honorably dismissed" and "resigned," as referring to the action of two members of K, K, G, who have recently withdrawn from the fraternity, are not at all conflicting when an explanation of the term "honorably dismissed" is given. The term means simply that the resignation was accepted.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 24, 1885.
As we did not have space last week to give a full report of the first concert this season given by the department of music on the fifteenth of December, we present an account to our readers now. Notwithstanding the slippery walks, the mild weather brought out a large audience, and University hall was well filled. The performers were Miss Mabel Gore, Mr. P. D. Aldrich, and the Messrs. Dorner. Prof. MacDonald had intended to take part but was prevented by sickness. Miss Gore, however, made an excellent substitute, though she had only one day for preparation, and gave some fine selections on the piano. Miss Gore is undoubtedly one of the best pianists in the University. The Messrs. Dorner rendered beautiful music on the 'cello and violin, and were heartily applauded by the audience. Mr. Aldrich made his first appearance in public, and showed that he had a fine baritone voice, well cultured. His songs were very pleasing, and were well received by the audience. This was the fifth recital of the Department of Music, and was a success in every respect, giving evidence of the great prosperity of the department. The next concert will be given on the ninth of February
Miss Lu. K. Smith, a popular young lady of the Musical Department, is spending the holidays at her home in Oskaloosa.

to see you boys, come again. We
wont tell why Adams looks so
happy. *Washburn Argo*.

BARNEY McAULEY
Barney McAulay, "The Messenger from Jarvis Section," will be here during the holidays.

Silver-plated table. wear at bottom prices, at Rowe's.
The merchants at the tail end of the Kaw want the earth. They may boom our newspapers, but cannot boom the dry goods trade, because the trade most likely to go there, have tried them before and found their professions wind. It is the unangular verdict of ladies who are good judges of goods and values, that they can do better at home. We know this to be true. If our merchants could get Kansas City profits for their goods, guess some of us would not be going out of business.
Ladies' and gents' silk umbrellas with sterling and gold mounted handles. Choice goods, particularly suitable for presents.

PROF. SPRING'S KANSAS.
We have intended for sometime to place before our readers press and other notices we have been enabled to secure on Prof. Spring's recent able work on "Kansas."
"The captivating interest of Prof. Spring's book makes the story fresh even to those who lived through the war of it."—Worcester Spy. (Mass.)
"Prof. Springs work is perhaps the most interesting of the entire series as far a s published and is made first by his ability as a writer. * **His admirable work has evidenced that he is able to hand all sorts of personal and documentary evidence." —The Dial. (Chicago.)
"Written with great spirit and vivacity."—The Bookseller.
Prof. Spring makes a very lively and readable book of his *Kansas.* * * *
He relates the history with vivacity and what is more important a judiciously discriminating temper. In the tremendous encounter of slavery with freedom between 54 and '58 there is much that needs to be treated in a fair and just manner, with out patitionism, without prejudice or discrimination. Prof. Spring attains satisfactory." — The American, Philadelphia
"I think the 'Kansas' exceedingly well done." — Edward L. Piece, editor of Charles Summer's works.
"The test of Prof. Springs historical ability is to be found in his treatment of John Brown's Potteratome massacre. This treatment is able and impartial, surpassing in any way Mr. B.P.Sanborn. The state's cruelty, slavery struggle and the later development of the State is written with postbelium fairness and in the historical temper."—The Critic. (New York.)
"The Kansas" seems to be genuine history. "The Standard (Chicago).
"Prof. Spring's work exhibits diligent research, discrimination in the selection of materials and skill in combining his chosen stuff into a form that has unity and order and inclusivity." -Harrford Conant. (Conn.)
"The 'Kansas' contains much that is exceptionally good judged from a purely literary stand point."—The News. (Chicago.)
"The work is able and it seems to be impertial." * * It is written as a history should be. It is vivid in its narration; it never forgets that justice was all on the side of the free-state men. Yet it avoids the spirit throughout in a purely spiritual spirit throughout. "Templemen."
"The story of the Kansas struggle is cogently and graphically told in these pages."—The Advertizer. (Boston).
"Prof. Spring is clearly in sympathy with the free-state party and so far out of sympathy with the proslavery squatters that his state of mind resembles a badly concealed but bitter prejudice. * * * * *
His book is throughout fascinating and one can discount the political bias of the author by knowing that it exists." —Kansas City Times,
*Proof Spring sympathizes with our enemies all through his book. * **
It is an insult to Kansas, a slap in the back to the war in the Tappan Commonsheit.
"I do not agree with all your judge
ments of men and measures but I do
most heartily congratulate you on
producing so vigorous and interest
ing a book."—Henry King.
"The story is told in a very effective manner. * **There** is a vein of humor which runs along with it. Many a sad chapter would be unnatural without this. Nowhere were comedy and tragedy ever more intimately blended."—Evening Transcript. (Boston.)
"There are ten men in Kansas who could have written the history better [than Prof. Spring] and I trust not many who could have done it worse in Mr. Krugston."—F. B. Saborn in the Spring field *Republican*.
Boston. Oct. 10th 1885.
No.16,
BOSTON, Oct. 10th 1885.
"I have read your Kansas with great pleasure. It has all the romance of the sea as it does," * * Your graphic and dramatic presentation of the facts has grooped and crystallized in my own mind what was before fragmentary and desultory, and I am personally very grateful to you. * * The history of this struggle as you have presented it I believe will live peoniously in our literature." H. O. HORTONS,
The head of the firm of Houghton Mifflin & Co.
"The Kansas' is so vivid in its
pictures and moves so rapidly in its recitals that one can hardly drop it until he has finished the last page." — Zions Herald. (Boston).
"FALL. RIVER. MASS."
"It itse like going back to the stirring days from 1850 to 1860 to read the admirable narrations in Christian Adocute. (New York)."
"I want to congratulate you on the success of Prof. Spring's book. I have read with great delight the many, many complimentary notices and reviews which I have seen of it." Florence Finch Kelley.
