E. A. Munsell, a former member of '84, is receiving State notoriety. In answer to an article in the Council Grove Republican, the Topeka Commonwealth made a severe attack on O. S. Munsell. Earnest replied in a very bitter article through the Capital and Emporia Republican. The Commonwealth replies as follows: "A day or two ago the railroad paper at Emporia contained a long communication from one E. A. Munsell, who says he is not only the son of his father, but that he is assistant or associate editor of the Council Grove Republican; that his father is not at home, and that he the seven-cent-sugar-mustache-young-person, penned the lie concerning this paper. Had we known that this very youthful and immature young person was the author of the dirty lie, we should not have referred to it, as it is not our custom to answer anything that infants or idiots may say concerning us, or refer to that species of the genus homo who have just sense enough to keep their pipes from going out and to propagate their species. Trusting that our friend whom Dickens would call 'a very young man,' will become wiser when he grows older, and that he will conclude the day of judgment is liable to come suddenly upon young liars as well as old ones, we dismiss him." This style of journalism, as practiced on both sides, cannot be too strongly deprecated. We hardly think any paper, under ordinary circumstances, should resort to journalism of this kind.

Those who love music will not fail to attend the Kellogg-Brignoli concert to be here next Friday evening, the 8th inst. The troupe when here last winter made many friends.

Miss Kellogg is a charming artist; Signor Brignoli, whose voice is as fresh as ever, was recalled at every song."

Dr. Luscher is one of the most successful of those who have gone forth from the University. Not only is he filling his pockets with the shiny gold, but is gaining a high reputation as a surgeon in Kansas City. Smallpox has slightly altered the old familiar face.
Mr. Rushmer expects to sustain his well deserved reputation for honesty and fair dealing. Always carrying the largest stock and of the best goods. Parties wishing something nice in his line can surely be suited by him.
This didn't occur among the wild, reckless students of that infidel college—the University of Kansas. O, no! But it did happen in the family of her more religious neighbor—Baker University. Four of its sons visited Lawrence and returned in a well, in a sort of a confused state of mind. Several Professors met them in a closed carriage at the depot and relieved them of their bottles. Result, two expulsions, but not from the University of Kansas.
They come to the surface everywhere—the U. of K. boys. J.I. Sweezy carried off the honors of his class at Ann Arbor Medical School last June. He graduates this year.

When the boys want to get something to eat they call it "going to Porter's restaurant for hash." When they give "symposium" or "reception" the same thing is called "repairing to Porter's dining hall and there enjoying all the delectable viands with which nature can satiate the palate.
Professor in Physiology.—"Ladies in England think nothing of walking eight or ten miles." (Cheers from the wicked, wicked boys, who are thinking about cabs for the opera.)
Escorts are plentiful for brevities.
Dart and Hamilton have enough perfumery in their bottles to last all winter.
A city daily, commenting on one of the feasts of the Greek societies, thinks it proper that the societies should give up that study of Greek and enjoy a tempting supper once in a while. Evidently the reporter wasn't a fraternity man.
