"Oh, my! Oh, my!! Oh, my!!! "What is it Johnny?' "I saw some awful pretty jack-knives at Straffon's, and I want one." "They are too high.' "No, they are not, almost all the little boys in town have them and they say they did not cost but a little."

Last Monday, at the end of the fourth hour, our students gathered in chapel to listen to Mr. Holyoke, of England. Mr. Holyoke, wearied by long travel and suffering from a severe cold, was illly prepared to deliver a speech. He however, entertained the audience with a short account of his efforts in behalf of English laborers, the object of his visit to America, and his impressions of the West. Mr. Holyoke is a guest of the Santa Fe railroad, and is engaged in gathering material for an immigrant's guide book. He is best known in this country through his contributions to English magazines.
Fine stationery at Bates & Field's.
Last Tuesday our chapel rostrum was, for the second time, graced by the presence of one of America's great statesmen. In 1879 President Hayes with Gen. Sherman and other eminent men paid the University a visit, and addressed the students. At nine o'clock last Tuesday morning Chancellor Marvin presented Senator John Sherman to those present in chapel. The Senator spoke for about ten minutes regarding the relations of college and practical work, in which he gave a few reminiscences of his own life. He described the appearance of the State when he visited it twenty-six years ago. In the course of his remarks he paid several glowing tributes to the University. After chapel was dismissed he repaired to the Chancellor's office and furnished a number of autographs for the young ladies. These mementoes are highly prized by their fortunate possessors.
All kinds of note books at Bates & Field's.
