time, and a very welcome visitor it is. We had often heard of this Mirror and were not a little curious to know what it looked like. A few minutes investigation acquainted us with the fact that while its literary articles were above the average, it possessed like many of its cotemporaries, a decided inclination to publish exchange jingles.
"Cry it aloud in Gath's wild streets,
And preach it in Askelon ! "
The Vanderbilt Observer has been heard from, and once more are we reminded that this exchange is never behind when good sound sense is taken into consideration. With characteristic originality the Observer publishes the first of a series of lectures on "The Art of Embracing." Whether these lectures are a part of the Vanderbilt curriculum or not, we are not informed. Now, you Ex man we will attempt to answer your question. Did we ever hear of the "beam and moat" story? Would you insinuate, Mr. Observer, that we were raised down in Tennessee? We know you wanted to ask us where to find it, and we would be most happy to do so, only that we would rather encourage a little more self-reliance on your part.
Volume II, No. I, of the Carson Index from Mossy Creek, Tennessee, just received. The paper appears to be edited with care, but we cannot see why it should call its locals editorials. For instance, we find the editor racking his brains over such weighty matters as the following: "Mr. W. T. W., seemed to suffer a great deal from vaccination," and "J. A. B., is going to pay his respects to conjugal affairs." etc.
We are very much tempted to pat the Ex. editor of the High School Index on the back, but we are kept from so doing from the fear that said Ex. Ed. might be a young lady and therefore might not appreciate our wellintended familiarity. But be the Ex. Editor boy or girl we must say that the exchange column of the Index might well serve as an example of independence and criticism for many of our college exchanges.
Once again the old familiar face of the Michigan Argonaut is seen. If nonsense is intended, any college paper is fortunate in having such a man as "Tewfik" on its staff. Chapter III., "Le Mont de Piete" from his prolific pen is not inferior to his previous efforts. For neatness of appearance, quality and quantity of reading matter, we must certainly place the Argonaut at the head of our list of exchanges. Long may you last, Bro. Argonaut, for the reasons of your organization are commendable.
