A prominent theatrical manager of New York is named Herr Hull. The map who hoodwinked the Hallows'en marks and stole Mademoiselle's skeleton must be a near relation.
ABE LEVY, THE POPULAR STUDENT'S HATTER AND FURNISHER
A certain respectable relic of femininity recently conceived to her "fellow" the fact that she had been greatly shocked by my articles on the opera bouffe. He in turn has come to me to expostulate. Now what I want to know is this: If the paragraphs in question suggested anything impure to her delicate nature (a bad sign to begin with), how did she come to be conversing on such a subject with her gentleman friend?
I admire modesty and can stand a pretty high temperature of affection. The one thing I do despise, however, is prudery — that purism which construes language into its worst meanings and sees in every action some ooftie signification. To enarrhase an old verse:
It is ok to pretend, and though it woke him,
Yet it eludes a peoplet or skunk;
and none can approach it on open day-light,
Unless he be crazy or drunk.
What a godsend it would be for some, in business forms opened in the University. Last week I received a business letter from a very prominent student. Three words would have conveyed the information imparted and ten would have been more than simple. Instead there were just one hundred and eighty-five words, reading like the gush of a temperance orator. On the same day a clum showed me a note from his girl, accepting an invitation to a party, and subscribed "Yours, etc." Now she was evidently little acquainted with the forms of epistolary correspondence, else she would have known "Yours, etc." is only used between total strangers and to those to whom he meant marked disrespect. By the way, we have a business college in Lawrence.

It isn't often that I go out of my way in those columns to give any one a pair; but I do think Burr, the Y. M.C. A. Secretary, is one of the exceptionally good fellows. It is chiefly through his cleverness and genial influence that the Association has attained its present popularity. Many persons in his position think their office sets them up as censors of the world's actions and morality; but that is not Burr, by a good deal.
My son, I'm ashamed of you, to over there and sit on the samers' bench. If you had turned down the gas, made less explosion at the conjunction of lips and said nothing about the matter, it'd been all right, even if it was Hallowen, awake it is, it's awful. You can't sit among the samers any longer.

The 1. C.'s are preparing a royal Thanksgiving feast for their convention guests. There will be about twenty delegates present and as many more alumni from this city. Forty turkies have been engaged for the occasion—one for each plate. More would have been procured but the market supply ran short.
As "Midsummer Meditations" gave a quit claim deed to "Autumn Musings," so in turn the latter has vacatited the premises for Saints and Sinners, who will occupy the spare room during cold weather. The saints will sleep in beds of down, while the sinners must squirm among the thistles.

Prof. Caufield has a theory—at least he says it is his theory—the best athletes are the best students. So I observe. The other day I dropped in on a coterie of base ball champions and was dazed at the evidences of high student life and exalted literary culture around me. On the bed, covering the floor, and beckoning the tables were the choiceest fruitage of English thought, including such master pieces as "Doc Kedge, the Alchemist Assassin, or Old Broadbirm's Great Abduction Case."

Now I believe athletes has no more relation to the scholarship of a student than has the style of his suspenders or the cut of his shirt. We have fine muscular fellows who lead alike in the diamond and in the class room. On the other hand we have splendid students who would be the defeat of the best organized nine on earth. The fact that girls as a rule are not accomplished gymnasts, does not prove they are not good scholars. Every student should have "plenty of exercise" and "plain, nutricious food" (vide the catalogue), but beyond that, scholarship wont suffer for want of athletics.

I don't want anyone to think I am running down athletics. I admire as much as anyone that vigorous and enviable physical development which shows off so advantageously in the sports. However, I don't think the muscle of which Sullivan the fighter, and Hanlan the oarsman are made, are necessarily evidences of great mental powers; nor do I think the girls who wielded the bat at Bismarck last Tuesday are so vastly the literary superiors of our K. S. I., ladies.
The Ordeals are somewhat jubilant that Mother Orophilian, the staid old matron, has gone to knocking teeth and pulling hair. For a year or so past the Orophilians have been want to point out what an unharmonious, disagreeable lot of cubs the Ordeals were. The tables are now turned. I don't think either society has much of which to boast on the score of angelic tranquility.

What a satanic invention are stained glass windows. In front of me at the Congregational church the other day sat a Lawrence belle, a beauty by nature, but more so by art. The comiliness of her face, the whiteness of her neck and the symmetry of her arm would have detrusted from the eloquence of a Becher or Goff. Suddenly the sun came out, and gleaming through the stained windows fell upon her lovely features in a dozen different bues. The charm dissolved. On her forehead was a black and blue spot the size of a man's fist; one eye was livid green, the other golden; her cheek seemed in the last stages of mortification; the chin stood out prominently in all the purity of lily-white: the wichery of her neck vanished in a cloud of purple, and the ravishing splendor of shoulders and arms succeeded to a tinge of infamel vernil ion, set off by a bodice of ochre yellow. A model of surpassing loveliness was forever damned by the modern style of church decoration. Suffused with weariness at the transformation wrought by Old Sol, I sorrowfully turned my gaze to the pulpit and listened with devout attention to the story of eternal grace and divine forgiveness, deeply wondering if they could extend to the manufacturers o stained glass.
