CUPID'S DARTS.
All communications for this Department should be sent to Misses Clara Greenamer, Maude Mansfield or J. Sullivan.
WHERE THEY HAVE STUCK IN OUR CITY—COMING EVENTS CAST THE SHADOWS BEFORE — WEDDING CHIMES.
News of marriages and engagements in Lawrence continue with unabated virulence. The epidemic is appalling to the ineligible, and has been raging with unusual severity this season. Financial condition, religion or health, receive no consideration. Anxious mammas begin to discuss the advisability of sending their susceptible sons and daughters to a school where the social atmosphere is not so seriously infected.
In various ways we have secured evidence of targets of Cupid's darts which received the shafts when unmailed and unprotected, they reaching the vital spit upon whose penetration all mankind yield.
Now in communication with His Majesty we will expect henceforth to be informed of his successes in his archery and will from time to time, give our readers the benefit of his work in our city.
The "most exquisite young man of the city," of the Southern Kansas offices, has evidently allowed his heart to be carried away by the piquant young belle of past K. S. U. days, now of Fort Scott.
His Chum, watches with great anxiety every mail, for a letter from the East where She is pursuing her vocal music studies.
The young gentleman, now of Princeton's classic halls during his vacation home this summer evidently received lasting impressions of a dark young lady near Lidonia and Henry.
The pleasant young coal contractor of the U. P. road and the young lady of the "Stone Mansion" of south Tennessee street seem to "bear an understanding."
Holiday week a prominent young railroad man now of Tepka, moths sister and home yet of our city, will take unto himself as life's partner ev'r to cherish, a young lady, whoring her short residence in Lawrence as instructress in the family of a then minister, was noted for a sweetness in personal appearance and temperament.
To the public yet enshoured in mist, is the "coming day" of a prominent young railroad employee and one of Lawrence's most favorite fair ones—the daughter of a minister.
Nearer perhaps, but no surfer, is the coming knot, which will "make one," a prominent young farmer of Grant township and a popular young alumnae of K.S. U.-class of '84.
Dame Rumor, connects the fortunes of a prominent young Miss of the present Senior class of K. S. U., with a young railroad magnate of Washington Territory. Again our informant whispers, a young capitalist of Wichita, whose letters, per information from the Postal Service "weighs a pound," is the favored man.
A nystic spirit pervades our sanctum, combining the names of a prominent belle, whose beautiful home overlooks the ice Kaw and "A cousin" who visited our city recently. Whispering on, the spirit says a dark young man from the North will come during Christmas days for his answer, which probably will be—no Again, that the many "Would-be's" of our city will be smiled upon and kept in happy suspense for years yet.
A prominent young druggist and the charming young daughter of one of our respected physicians have spoken the words which create "Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one."
The young proprietor of a south Massachusetts street business house and the favorite of the lady clerks in McIntire's will soon stand before the altar and answer to the sacred ceremony.
Another clerk of Mr. McIntire's of the sterner sex promises to soon take unto his heart, a life's companion, in a graduate of the Business College of two years ago, and a favorite in the corps of city teachers last year.
A young mail agent, of the Santa Fe, has evidently been made happy, by the thrilling - Yes - from the niece of the niece of our prominent "Round
Corner" drugstret. The young gentleman's mother will also soon loose a daughter, whose heart is also n "Mall boy's."
Two of the most popular of our city mail system carrier boys promise us an item in the near future. One, the every happy boy says his "sweety," has been all the truer since their separation through her visit at Colorado Springs last summer. The other says, notwithstanding many trying disappointments, on the setting of the happy day he now has his "birdie," the daughter of a prominent renat-estate agent, so caged in promises that she cannot much longer hold off the day.
The son of one of our prominent book merchants has recently made up with his "first and only" after a long era of coldness, and through his inuence, Cupid is now undoubtedly using his best and truest carts.
Our last message tells of happy ideas existing between one of the most charming young members of the Military company and book-keeper in one of the south Massachusetts street dry goods houses and a young lady until recently a clerk in the same establishment and now of Kansas City. We await the date in anxiety.
USHER GUARDS. — Company H, gave another of their very pleasant dances on Monday night, having been postponed from Thursday night. Quite a large crowd was in attendance and as usual spent a very delightful evening. Company H. should receive the thanks of all lovers of the terpschleorean art, for without their dances this season, that line of amusement would have passed from society circles. The hall was pleasantly arranged and the music up to the standard. Among those present the following names were obtained: Misses Belle Roberts, Alice Noble, Emma Lewis, Mike Tisdale, Carrie Steinberg, Ruth Woodard, Fannie Levy, May Porter, Lily McConnell, Nellie Headley, Eva Hoodley, Mattie Bristol, Clara Greenanyer; Mesdames Moody, McCarty, Tracy; Messrs. M. Strauss, Dan Crew, Abe Levy, J. Baine, Geo Noble, L. Lewis, Lee Lettier, Will Roberts, Chas. Stone, Ben. Akers, Charles Meyers, Geo. Tracy, Groenor, Geo Leonard, George Anderson, Herb, Bullene, Nettie Littell, Fred Morris, Wm. Penfield
DANCING CLUB:—The little folks dancing club met at the residence of Mr. Van Hoesen on Friday last. The young folks entered into the dancing with all the vivacity of youth. They were light and gay fairly swimming over with jubilant spirits. The evening passed away only too quickly and the little folks were forced to go, much against their inclinations. Misses Rilla and Luvy proved themselves charming little hostesses. Guests present: Misses Bella Stinchair, Stella Hynes, Carrie McEwen, Don Burrie and Genie Bowersock, Mamie Spencer, Genevieve Howland, Messrs. Albert, Flintom, Freed, and Jus. Bowersock, Hal Noble, Paul Leonard and Billie Spencer.
SCHUBERT CLUCK:—The Schubert club met at Col. Nobles residence on Thursday last. The afternoon was spent in a most enjoyable manner. The program for the next meeting was made out, the chief study will be the life of Haydn. They expect the meeting to be an exceedingly interciting one. Members of the club present: Meodames Beaty, Parke, Bierer, Grant, Bates, Davis; Misses Alice Noble, Birdie Starr, Mable Gore.
The pupils of Miss May Anderson, the talented young elocutionist, will give a recital on Saturday evening at the Press club rooms. Miss Anderson is meeting with wonderful success as a teacher of elocution. Topека Capital.
JOLLY COASTERS—The hill on Quincy street has been for the past few days a perfect living, moving confusion of sleights of every description and "bob sleds" innumerable. But no more hilarious party ever took advantage of the "path of snow," than a party of students of K.S. U. on last Thursday night. Many lightning trips were made and many eager to ride down, were just as eager to ride up—instead of helping to escort the heavy sled. About
Miss Anderson, it will be remembereed, visited here recently.

COURIER EXTRA.
OROPHILIAN WINS.
The Greatest Victory of the Series won by Orophilian.
A please pendence womanho by a COU evening to Wamgoo.
MOTTO : Fraternity Rule Must be Broken.
Leads by 13 12 Points.
The Sixth Annual Contest between Oread and Orophilion societies last night, resulted in an overwhelming victory for Orophilian, the aggregate grades of the judges giving Orophilian the contest by thirteen and a half points, the largest victory ever awarded a society in the series of contests.
Vol. IV. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, December 18. No. 15.
The instrumental music furnished by Phi Kappa Psi orchestra, was very good. The boys are doing well and promise their organization a very nice feature of K.S.U. Dan Crew's vocal solos, Albach's flute sola, and Crew, Higgins, Blair and Nowlin's quartet, were well received.
In the essay contest Mr. Stebin's production on "Conquest of Self," was inlied to be loose and bulky in words for the thought contained. Miss Greenwayman on "Appearances and Reality" was a very original production in thought. The field covered one which has been comparatively non-explored in English literature, and her effort was highly appreciated through its freshness of ideas. Her delivery was very pleasing.
The debate between Messrs. Reed, of Gophilian, and W.H. Brown, on Resolved," That the railroad system of the United States should be owned and operated by the Federal Government, rather than by the present system."
The debate between Messrs. Reed, of Orphilian, and W.H. Brown, on
was one of the ablest perhaps ever heard in K.S.U. The two efforts would have done justice to Congressional halls. Mr. Reed's evidence lead over his opponent lay in his more logical arrangement of his argument and terse deductions.
In the oratorical contest, Mar. Marshall, of Ogeopillan, on "The Coming Man," sustained his well-established reputation as an orator. Mr. Jekens, on "Intellect and Morality," surpassed all former brilliant efforts. A more meaty production in thought has seldom been heard in chapel.
Miss Mary Webster, of Oread, in the declaration "The Clown's Baby," proved very popular with the audience. Miss Newlin, on "The Wedding Gown," proved herself a very charming declaimer.
The judges, Col. O, E. Learnard, Col. A, Graibrowski and Rev Stote, brought in the above decision, which of course was well received by Orophillians. The judges in refusing to turn over the individual grades, were arbitrary beyond precedence, and deserve censure therefor.

PRESBYTERIAN SOCIAL;—The Presbyterian apron social, held at the elegant residence of Mr. Henley on Louisiana street, Tuesday evening was in every sense a success. It was not one of those regular conventional "church affairs," where the people range themselves in lines along the wall, and eye each other with suspicion, longing for the time to come, when they can go home with out violating proprieties, but one of those real good old times where a perfect elystium of cheerfulness and merry laughter filled the hours. A good lunch for the hungry was served about 11, and the major part of the assemblage did good justice there to. Most of the aprons were sold, and at a very fair price. The surplus of apron, and tea will be held as a nucleus, around which will cluster arrangements: for another just such a "fine time," when all who love a pleasant evening will be heartily welcomed. Those present: Dr. and Mrs. Osmond, Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Boles, May Russell, Mesdames Hill, Lane and DeLong, Mr. Johnson, Mr. McKee, Bella Love, Alice Noble, Prof. and Mrs. Bally, Mr. and Love, Mrs. Benedict, Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Ienes, Mrs. Glinn, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon, Bersile Argo, Maude Mansfield, Mr. and Mrs. Col.

Kansas City. Amanda came into the car with Kansas City evening papers, one of which the lady in question took, handling the sharp young man a nickel. Her eye at once catching the price, two cents, on the paper, indignant at the young man's action, she called him back saying "Young man the price of this paper is two cents." To this the importment fellow only turned on his heel and left the car. Shortly returning with "peanuts only five a glass," as he approached the lady's seat a peculiar look was noticed to come into her eyes, as she nodded assent to a glass of peanuts. Opening her purse with "Now young man we're even." She handed him two pennies. Her neighbors who had witnessed all applauded. "Peanut" looked imp and only summoned courage enough to say "Madame you're ahead and here's another glass in the bargain. The heroine is a Lawrence lady.
