AN INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CONVENTION.
Once was time when a congress assembled to choose
a coin universal the whole world would use,
o that this man would trade not in dollars and
cents.
While that one in gilden, or kopeks, or pence,
but national differences, soon it appeared,
With working this prasalworthy scheme inter-
fered;
For a coun ry's traditions or climate engrave
Natures upon him, and they made to slave
To a custom their grandfathers could not let
bequeathed;
Thus these envoys their currency would not do
*The Italian, the man who stringed music in fires.*
The Yankees have four hours in rich eloquence.
To show how his country used naught, but good
When the Garman speaks science the universe
barks.
Sotha Gesman, the scholar, can't change from his Maaks.
John Bull, fighting beseer eater, could not leave his Poun's.
Nox, republic's bold nater, his Sovreigns or
Crown
But the congress adjourned when the Gaul's rich voice cut out.
As he says he's a daul and will use taught but
Livres. — ERA.

Why should we not have a foot-ball game between the champion teams of the east and west at Chicago next spring? Say K S. U. vs. Yale.—Argo Reporter
Vol. 1 No. 3 of the Repository published by the students of McKendree College, Lebanon, Ill., comes to our able this week. It is full of good sense and inspiration but one would think from the beautiful cut and the reputation of the school that McKendree ought to publish as neat a folder just four times as often. The Repository as a weekly instead of a monthly would be a grand success.
Judging from the last few issues of the Baker Beacon it will hereafter devote its space to sporting news. The Bakerites realize that it was no fault of theirs that they got the league pennant and are still trying to convince an intelligent public that they are the interstate champions. Better give it up dear Beacon or dare to send your team to decide the tie between yourselves and K. S. U.
Would it not be well, at the oratorical contest this year to organize a Kansas College Press Association? Delegates could then come together with but little additional expense; and matters of common interest could be discussed. We believe such an association would tend to improve our college journals as a class, and reader the Kansas College press a more potent factor in moulding public opinion within our state. Editors of college papers, do you favor such a movement?—Argo Reporter.
The State Oratorical association held a meeting in Topeka last Friday afternoon. The delegates in attendance were: M. S. Rice, Baker university; C. S. Griffin, University of Kansas; W. C. Coleman. State Normal, Emporin; C. W. Miller, College of Emporia; E. F. Hackney, Winfield college; R. C. Postlethwaite, Wesleyan college, Salina; J. T. Kaho, Ottawa college, S. M. Brewster, Washburn college. The meeting was called for the purpose of making arrangements for the state contest to be held at Topeka February 17, 1836. The following judges were elected: On thought and composition, T. E. Dewey, C. M. Sheedon and O E Olin. On delivery, Hon. S. S. kirkpatrick, Judge Frank Doaster, and Hon. George R. Peck.
A few of the professors and students of the University have organized a special scientific club for the study and investigation of subjects in which they are interested.

Dr. C. E. Edwards tells this is Sunday's Kansas City Journal: "I had occasion to get some illustrations made and had Mr. Little, the artist of Lawrence, do some oil work for me. Several of his pictures were of such a nature that I thought I would get them photographed, but when I tried to get the work done the photographer asked more for his work than the picture originally cost me. I told this to Little, who said it reminded him of a circumstance in his life. He was tramping through Southern Kansas sketching, and one day came across a most dilapidated place. The house was all awry and the barn was just tumbling to pieces. In the door of the barn was one of the sorriest specimens of the mule kind that he had ever seen. He at once set about making a picture of the mule and its surroundings, and while at work the owner of the place came and watched him. When the picture was completed the old fellow admired it very much and said he believed he would like to have a likeness of the old mule and stable and asked Little what he wanted for the picture. Little offered it to him for $20. The old fellow threw his head back with a big laugh and said: "Well, that's a good one on you. You can have the mule for $10."
The Agora for the October quarter is just out. It has been delayed this long on account of the rush of work at the printer's. It is perhaps the best number yet published. The quantity of matter is large and the quality is good. The large number of University people in the list of the contributors is particularly noticeable. Chas, F. Scott along with Milton Stewart, J. W. Walton and Calvin Hood, discusses the question. Will a Service Pension degrade the Veteran in Public Esteem? James H. Canfield has a word of defense and encouragement for the Teacher's Critics. Mr. B. W. Woodward has set some early local history into verse in How We Took Titus, Vernon Kellogz talks of his ornithological outings in Colorado in birds of the Mountains. Prof. Arthur Canfield has a good article on Diction and Style, and R.D. O'Leary one on History and the Historical Novel. Governor Robinson replies to Colonel Phillips criticism of his Kansas Conflict. And Prof. Carruth has a Rondeau. The Tide is Out. The young crowd of Kansas poets is well represented. Florence L. Snow, Ida A. Alhborn, Harger, the Abilene poet, and Albert Biglow Pame each contribute some poetry. All this along with various other good articles as the Hon. John Guthrie's recollections of Governor Green with half-tone plate. The Agora is a quarterly edited by Mr. T. E. Dewey and published in Topeka. It is standing up for Kansas and as the only literary magazine in the state it deserves the hearty moral and financial support of every loyal citizen.

Eat None but Cassidy's Candies.
Warranted Pure and Fresh.
Candy is not a necessity, but a luxury, and when luxuries are inhaled in they should be of the best. There is no man, woman or child who is unable to eat candy; though bought canny, and did they ever stop to think that there is a difference in candy? come candy is made of impure and refuse goods, and its inferior cover up with fancy coloring. Such candy when given to children will only pave the way to a gratification of health.
