Law Department.
The shamful way in which the law department has been neglected in the past in the distribution of the legislative appropriation for library supplies has led to a pretty general demand on the part of the friends of that department that the legislature specify in the library appropriation this year what portion of the fund shall be for the law department.
Eighteen members of the Junior class skipped their recitation last Friday to hear the evidence in the case of the State vs. Thaddeus Stevens, in the District Court.
It is time that steps were taken to secure some one to deliver the address before this department on Commencement Day. With such eminent attractions as Senator Evarts and Rev. Tuttle, billed for that week, the Law department stands a good show to be lost sight of unless some eminent lawyer is chosen for this position who can hold his own against these counter attractions. There are about fifty members of the department, certainly enough to secure some eminent representative at a very small cost to each member.
Mr. Willis Finfrock complains that the article in the Times of February 1st in relation to his giving up his law studies and devoting his time to the reformation of the institution of marriage does him a rank injustice. He further alleges that the said article was the work of one William Herdman and he has appealed to the moot court to right his wrongs by giving him damages against Mr. Herdman. The case will be held in the law room this evening before Prof. Green, Hobbs and Nelson appearing for Mr. Finfrock and Hartington and Wade for Mr. Herdman. The case will be tried before a jury selected from the students and faculty. It is rumored that some of the members of the faculty can give some racy testimony if they see fit.
The Times called attention last week to the fact that some young man on the Journal had a very vivid imagination and that he gave it full swing when he came to write his legal maximis for his local columns. Since then we have noticed that a number of State papers have called attention to the same fact, and advised the young man not to be quite so reckless in his (mis) statements.
Unity Club.
Mr. W. M. Hayes favored the club Monday night with an essay on "Three Stars" - Emerson, Whittier, Longfellow. He dwelt upon the expression that these poets had given, each in his own way, to love for God, for nature and for man; and illustrated his point by reading numerous selections from their works.
During the social hour Mr. B. W. Woodward told a true story concerning an elephant. This beast had been taught to read, and had acquired a knowledge of a vast body of literature; his favorites in the various departments of letters were Tupper, Nasby, Josiah Allen's Wife, Amelie Rives, Dr. Johnson (whose elephantine style was particularly congenial), Mathew Arnold, and, above all, the German metaphysicians. After much study the elephant grew proud of his attainments, but his master took all the conceit out of him by handing him a copy of Robert Browning's poems. The unhappy beast, maddened by unsuccessful effort to comprehend them, committed suicide by flinging himself over a convenient precipice.

The Young Tragedian Upon Whom the Mantle of Booth Has Fallen.
CRESTON CLARKE.
Mr. Creston Clark, the young tragedian, is destined to become a great actor. It is born in him, and nothing short of a miracle can keep the mantle of Edwin Booth from falling upon his shoulders. He possesses every requirement of a successful tragedian—a most perfect conception of the character he assumes, an acquaintance with Shakespeare and the other great masters that is refreshingly interesting, a voice which is at once powerful and sweet. a pronunciation which in many respects very much resembles that of Booth, and a carriage which is full of grace and naturalness Who is responsible for this sudden transition of a youth of comparatively small experience to a rising young tragedian Inherited genius and an ambitious mind determined to reach the goal of its ambition. For Creston Clarke is ambition and more than determined to fill the place too soon to be made vacant by the retirement of his uncle, the incomparable Edwin Booth, the tragedian of the age With all of his natural advantages. Creston Clark has the good will and hearty cooperation of Mr. Booth, who, as might be supposed, is anxious to leave a legitimate successor behind. Ever since the young man entered upon his professions career he has been steadily coached by his uncle with the one idea that he shall become his successor.
Creston Clarke will appear at the opera house in Han.let next Wednesday night. Seats on sale Monday morning.
A Surprise Party.
On Thursday evening of last week Prof. Miller was made the happy "victim" of a surprise party. It was perpetrated by the members of his Sunday school class and was a complete surprise to the professor. So completely were the plans arranged and carried out in cooperation with the other members of the family that the professor had not the slightest intimation of what was about o happen. However, he was not long to be deceived, and was soon bidding all welcome in his own pleasant and congenial manner. After all had arrived an elegant supper was served, which was relished by all present. The evening was spent in conversation and social amusements and the fleeting hours swiftly winged their way with pleasure. Altogether it was a most delightful occasion and will be long remembered by all those present.

Dear Sir:—In *April*, 1885 I suddenly received notice that my ordination examination would be held in a fora tight. I had only ten minutes to prepare the application, should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but your system had so strengthened my maturation, that it was not necessary to give the gist of any book after reading it once, I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Harold, and John C. W. Moore, and was successful in every one of the nine supers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
