LOCAL ITEMS.
The Sophomores and Freshmen played a practice game of base ball Saturday.
All the classes should plant trees this spring.
The Sophs. take their girls buggy riding.
How about the "Field Day?" Let some one start the ball rolling.
Camilla Urso uses a violin one half a century older than the United States and valued at $5,000.
Prof. F. H. Snow will lecture Tuesday evening, March 11th in University hall. The subject is "Prehistoric Old Settlers."
Since the opening of the second term, sixteen new students have entered the University.
Why is a one cent piece like John the Baptist? A fine steel engraving given for the best answer.
The botanical student now longeth for the flowers to bloom and the trees to put forth their leaves.
The Freshman class have been very prompt in their rhetorical work this term. We hope that the Sophomores will come to time as well as the verdant Freshmen.
A surprise party was given to Solon Thacher Williams, on the evening of the last day of February, by a party of his numerous friends.
Prof. Hay will deliver a lecture in Liberty Hall, Thursday evening, March 20th. All students should attend and listen to an interesting lecture on "Folk Talk."
Mr. Edwin Clement Meservey entertained a few of his friends on the evening of his 18th birthday, at the residence of his uncle, Mr. Paul R. Brooks.
The Sophomores have chosen black for their class color. Very appropriate. We would advise the Seniors to choose green.
The Freshman class has a complete base ball organization.
We understand that a University nine will be formed soon, to be composed of the "crack" players of the several class nines.
Mr. E. H. Allen, of Kansas City, delivered a lecture in the Greek room of the University Tuesday, Feb. 25th. The weather was very bad and only fifty persons were in attendance.
Position, influence and money may permit men to do a great many things, but "out West" no man, even if he is a professor, can expect to go to church alone and take home a young lady. The girls won't stand it.
What next? A pancake social was given by the ladies of the Congregational church, on the evening of Thursday, March 6th. The "ladies' man" of the Freshman class would not take his girl, having heard that she could put away comfortably at least a dozen cakes, and perhaps two dozen, with a little squeezing.
A very large, critical, and appreciative audience attended the Camilla Urso concert. Her playing is beyond criticism. She is capable of drawing music from the violin which touches the heart and stirs the poetic emotions of youth. Her execution is brilliant and faultless, and in our estimation she has no superior, either in the New or Old World. She controls her audience perfectly, now bringing them almost to tears, and now wreathing their faces with smiles. There were quite a large number of students present, and they together with all the others pronounced the concert a grand success.

UNIVERSITY COURIER.
LETTER FROM MISS GERTIE A. BULLENE, 77.
We have been permitted to publish the following letter, addressed to the G. E. B. club, which, as coming from a graduate of the University, well and favorably known to a very large proportion of the readers of the Courier, will be perused, we have no doubt, with great delight :
WASHINGTON, D.C.
My Dear Club:-I said I would wait until I had a budget of news sufficiently large to substitute for those most excellent chronicles with which, I have no doubt, the G. E. Bs. have been beguiling these few last Tuesday afternoons. But I have waited so long that the budget is so large that it would take volumes to hold it all, and in mercy and compassion I send only a portion of said budget.
I will begin by telling you all "Howdy," and that I sincerely wish every one of my dear G. E. Bs. could be here with me, and having just as nice a time as I am. Oh girls, I am having such a delightful time. No one can imagine half how much I enjoy it, unless they are here to see me. But this isn't telling you anything, so here goes.
I won't dilate upon Chicago, though I spent two days there very pleasantly; saw Ella Hadley; went to the Grand Opera of the "Huguenots," and came away on Saturday night, ten o'clock. Arrived in Washington, Monday A.M. I was just in time for the President's grand Levee, which occurred on Monday evening. My first visit to the White House was naturally an episode of importance, and it was delightful. However, I was totally unprepared for anything so strikingly democratic. One can hardly imagine anything so odd and amusing as this panorama of contrasting faces and costumes. Silks, satins, velvets, laces, and diamonds, side by side with the rudest and most uncouth costumes imaginable. A brilliant beauty, gorgeously attired, sandwiched in between two honest sons of toil, who are as blissfully ignorant that they are any more the cause of her flashing eyes than they are of her gleaming gems. A poor little homespun country lassie, drifting in between two statesmen; a helpless little old man, almost annihilated between two ponderous, black-velveted, bediamonded matrons. Well, at last we came to the goal, the ultimatum of our struggles—the Blue Room. Here the President and his lady were receiving, shaking hands with every one in that vast crowd; at their left stood their son, Webb Hayes, who received your name and introduces you to the President. But Mr. H., being well acquainted with the President and lady, introduced me himself. I was not in the least impressed by Mr. Hayes—the next day I could not remember at all how he looked. Indeed, that evening, I could see no one but his lovely Frau, who is the most charming lady I ever saw. She is a dark brunette, and was dressed in heavy cream brocade. She wins your heart immediately, when she grasps your hand as if you were the dearest friend she had on earth, and says in the most cordial voice, "I am happy to meet you Miss——. Good evening." I had come into that room feeling scared, bewildered, and exceedingly like a bashful country girl; I went out from there too proud for any use, and feeling myself of the utmost importance to the world in general. I have no doubt every other poor, little country girl underwent exactly such a metamorphosis in that same Blue room that evening. There are three smaller rooms to pass through—the Red room, the Blue room, and the Green room—before you enter the large and magnificent East room. This is the room where Lincoln's body was laid in state. This was crowded with just such a mixture of everybody as the others. The air was heavy with the perfume of the flowers scattered about everywhere, and a band just without, in the vestibule, discoursed the most entrancing of music. It was altogether a novel and delightful experience for me, which must be my excuse for detaining you so long in the White House.
One Saturday afternoon we drove down to the Navy Yard to witness an exhibition of a life-saving apparatus by Prof. Boynton. The man is supposed to have just been shipwrecked. He is enveloped in a water proof suit from head to foot; attached to this is a small water tight boat, like a box, containing necessaries for prolonging "life on the ocean wave." Of course the idea was to show us how easily one could move about, and how long it would be possible to sustain life by the aid of this apparatus, but in order not to tire the audience he introduced some features in the entertainment which were amusing from their absurdity. He took from his boat hammer and nails, and after hunting around he discovers some boards, from which he constructs a raft; he jumps on the raft, fires a salute to some sail supposed to be visible, fires rockets of distress, scans the horizon with a telescope; the materials for all this business he finds in his box. Then he takes a fishing rod, swims off, lies on his elbow on the bosom of the Potomac, and draws up a fish; then he builds a fire on the raft, cooks his fish and sets the table. You should have heard the screams of laughter when he took from his box a table cloth, spread it on the raft, a goblet with a red napkin folded in it, a plate of oranges, castor, and everything pertaining to a first class table, ate his dinner, washing it down with a bottle of Bass ale, the cork of which he pulled lying on his back in the water. It was all very amusing, and the banks of the Potomac were crowded with spectators. The President, members of the Cabinet and a great many notables were there.
The first Sunday I was here we attended the Congregational church, where Dr. Rankin preaches, who is, I understand, a relative of one of the G.E.Bs. In this church they have the finest organ I ever heard. There is a "Vox humani" stop, which is the most marvelous imitation of a tenor voice that can be made. Indeed, I thought it was a man singing, and was wondering where he was, when they told me it was only a stop. The organist, Prof. Bischoff, is blind, but I don't think the eyes were ever made that could see how to make such music as he feels, and draws from that organ with his wonderful touch.
I haven't said a word about the Capitol yet. I don't know how. It has been described to death already. I believe one may read a thousand descriptions, and yet your first visit to this magnificent building is a revelation, a perfect burst of grandeur—this labyrinth of marble columns, inlaid floors, and frescoed ceilings. It is needless to say more. One is in the Capitol of the United States. That tells the story. I have been there many times already; I go whenever I can possibly spare time from other things. The House is vastly more entertaining than the Senate. The members have so much more fight in them than the Senators, and it's such fun to see them get up and shake their fists at each other and scream till they are black in the face, and just when they have worked themselves way up the crescendo, to the climax of eloquence and noise, down comes the Speaker's hammer, and they have to stop, nolens volens. We went once to an evening session, and it was a stormy one, too. All the galleries were packed with spectators, and the session lasted till eleven o'clock.
The library in the Capitol is well worth seeing—three immense rooms packed four stories high with books. Every book printed in the United States is found upon these shelves; there are three hundred and fifty-two thousand books, and three copies of each work, so there are over a million volumes in the library. There is an extremely booky little old man, with gray hair, who can put his finger right on any book you may ask him for, whether it be obscure, grave, or trashy.
The Corcoran Art Gallery figures conspicuously among the lions of the city. It is a very large building, completely filled with pictures and statuary, besides a great many antique and rare specimens of bronzes and pottery. Mr. Corcoran has donated the building, with its rare collection, to the city. We have "done" the Patent Office and Dead Letter Office, both of which are very interesting. The former is, undoubtedly, the biggest toy shop in the world, for here is found the world in miniature, or rather the miniatures from which the world has been made. It is rather tiresome and monotonous to examine case after case of door locks, safe keys, stew pans, et cetera, et cetera, and it was a relief to stumble upon Mrs. McCullough's steam cooker, the one name in all that huge collection that we recognized. No, I forget; way off in one corner of the room,

in a perfect conglomeration of every thing that belongs to a ship, I discovered a little model of a traction wheel, with the well remembered name of our late Professor, Frederic W. Bardwell.
There are very few who would not be intensely interested in a visit to the Dead Letter Office. Being acquainted with Mr. Dallas, the chief of this office, we had the benefit of his explanations through the building. Keep your seats, girls, don't be alarmed; I'm not going into a long-winded description of the D. L. O. But if you could only see the things that come into that office, it would be description enough. Corn-cobs, breast pins, wedding cake, rattlesnakes, centipedes, tarantulas, and I saw, yes I did! a pig's tail, done up in a little box sent to somebody. Mr. Dallas gave me a piece of wedding cake that had been sent to England and back. Would you believe it? There are seven thousand letters come to this office annually, without a sign of address or postage. It is said that men are the authors of such forgetfulness. And they call us forgetful. Well!
Would you like to go to the Treasury next? I believe that was my next trip. And I tell you, girls, I shall always look upon the few greenbacks that I may be allowed to handle, with a new interest, realizing now, to some extent, what must be done to make them. The performances and processes that are gone through to make a one dollar bill are too numerous to mention, but a visit to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving gives you a remote comprehension of the wonderful process. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, there are over four hundred women employed, without any reference to the men. I stood in a vault containing seventy-nine millions of dollars, and held in my hand a few millions for one rapturous minute. It was no use, girls—I couldn't do it. They would have caught me, sure. Of course I thought of the whole club at the time.
Then comes the Smithsonian Institute. My! but it makes my head swim to think of it. Such a crushing, overpowering mass of curiosities. Mark Twain's Egyptian mummy was there—yes, two of them, three thousand years old. I looked at them and I could not help echoing the demand of the Doctor for "a fresh corpse." They were fearful—black, and scaly, with the blackened, ragged something that used to be flesh, clinging to their hideous faces in a manner that would sicken the stoutest hearted G. E. B. that has yet existed. There were scalps there, too, among the Indian relics. Scalps from real heads, you know. Some were Indian hair, long, black, and straight; but there were others than these, and Oh, one was long, silky, wavy and golden. The thought of what might have been, nay, of what must have been, was indeed a sad one, and I hurried away, haunted by the picture that involuntarily arose at sight of that sad reminder.
Well, the Smithsonian is a grand institution, altogether. I am going there often if possible, and endeavor to reduce my mind to something more tangible than this wild, chaotic state in which this one visit has left it. I am dutifully and religiously taking you through all these public buildings, and have withheld to the last any mention of the social phases of my visit. These may prove more interesting to you, as they certainly have been somewhat more exciting, though I don't think any more entertaining.
Of all the fashionable follies ever invented by the brain of man or woman, I think calling, as it is carried on among the fashionable circles of Washington, is the most absurd. The polite thing is to return a call within a week. Now suppose you make fifty calls one week, they are all returned in a week, or two, anyway, and then you have them all to make again. People who don't care anything for each other, and who, after they have had their curiosity satisfied by one visit, don't care if they never see each other again, still keep up this farce of perpetual visiting until Lent begins, when that, with everything else, comes to a dead standstill, and the fashionable beauties (?) take to their beds to recuperate. We have made a great many calls—Senatorial, Members, citizens, and Cabinet—and we have received a great many. Of course, being novel, it is delightfully interesting for me, but I can readily
see what drudgery it would become after a season or two. Mrs. Thompson, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, told me that last season she made over sixteen hundred calls, and was three hundred and twenty-five behind at the close of the season, in spite of all she could do. We went one afternoon to Mrs. Hayes' reception. It was very much like the evening crush, the only new feature being that the conservatory is thrown open for the inspection of visitors.
Senator Ingalls' election created a good deal of enthusiasm here. We were all at this house very enthusiastic Ingalls men, and Mrs. Haskell, Mrs. Neill, Miss Neill, and myself, went to the Capitol the day Mr. I. was expected to arrive, and decorated his desk. It was covered with baskets and bouquets of the rarest flowers, and was as pretty as could be. Mr. Ingalls' reception, which the gentlemen of Kansas tendered him, was one of the pleasantest gatherings I have attended here. It was given at the National Hotel, and we danced all the evening and had a sumptuous repast to wind up with.
I danced my first German the other evening—the most delightful evening I have spent since I have been here. We danced till three o'clock, and I wasn't tired in the least. The German was at a private house. The brother of the young lady who gave the party is going, next month, on an expedition to the north pole. What do you suppose a man who can waltz in an absolutely divine manner wants to do with the north pole? He is a lieutenant in the Navy and is ever so nice. I am going with him Monday morning to a hop at the Barracks in the Navy yard. Think of that and weep! you girls who are just beginning the week in the old routine—school, housework, &c.—that I, Gertrude Bullene, am waltzing with the naval officers, to the sound of just as delightful music as ever beguiled the "light fantastic," at the witching hour of midnight. I never dreamed of going to parties on Monday morning when I lived in Lawrence and was young and innocent. Now, my dear girls, when I tell you that I have been ever so many times to the theatre you will know that I have been happy. I saw the grand Barrett in three plays, "Richelieu," "The Marble Heart," and "A New Play." I cried myself almost sick in "The Marble Heart"—the most pathetic thing I ever saw. One evening I saw the operatic farce of "Cinderella," and another evening "The Danites." Of course I needn't put on any airs in regard to the theatre, for hasn't Lawrence the great, the inimitable, the all-powerful Kendall? And six nights of the theatre—change of programme every night? I am afraid you will not appreciate my ecstacies over Lawrence Barrett.
Thursday night I went to a fancy dress party for children, given by Marini. It was the prettiest sight any one ever saw—these hundreds of lovely creatures, in all the airy and fantastic costumes brain could devise, and to see the little bits of tots dance as gracefully and perfectly as even our dansante Annie. At eleven o'clock the children resigned the floor to the adults, and we had a very nice dance.
Next Tuesday evening comes the crowning event of my visit. We are invited to a reception at the White House, by Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, to meet the Diplomatic Corps. A state dinner, you know—a grand affair. It is a purely invitation affair, and I am ever so glad that I shall have an opportunity to attend such a reception, and at one time meet all the foreign ministers and officers. I am to go with Senator Ingalls, who has kindly offered to relieve Mr. and Mrs. H. of their charge for that evening. I can scarcely wait for Tuesday evening to come, but of course I don't want to skip over Monday morning. As the time draws near for me to leave Washington, I scarcely dare think of it. I have had such a glorious time, and have been so happy that it seems as if I could never leave, but I expect to have a good time in New York, too.
Your loving friend,
GERTIE A. BULLENE.

WORK.
College diplomas are not legal tender for a life-long board bill. Time, effort, care in procuring an education, either special or general, do not release from the obligation of self-support, but may enable the willing hands to substitute brain for muscle, and so wonderfully lighten the tasks and multiply the joys of living. The whole tendency of our system of public education should be kept in this direction. Self-reliance, conscientious regard for the rights of others, respect for law—in short, the duties of citizenship, should be most zealously inculcated, not as a department of education, but as permeating all departments and degrees of education. University Report.
There is truth in this, which grasped and applied by the student to his college life and after manhood, will assure him success, in the true meaning of that word. Honest, earnest, hard work, with not only the object of self-support in view, but the duties of citizenship as well, should be the habit, as it is the privilege, of every young man and woman. A pernicious idea prevails with some that the object of obtaining an education is to evade labor. Labor is looked upon as a primal curse that falls heavily upon the unlearned man, but can be avoided by the scholar. This inspires, possibly, a momentary effort, that the future may be filled with easy idleness. Then the graduate enters a profession or occupation of some kind, to make a living easily and shirk the duties of citizenship.
Shakespeare makes Richard bemoan, as a man
"Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up."
And as Richard deplored his physical deformity, so can multitudes of men in active life regret a lack of preparation for and fitness to do a work they have planned. A knowledge of this unfitness usually comes too late to make a remedy possible. When a point is reached which, though low in the scale of a useful life, cannot be passed, it is very difficult to retrieve the losses that will make an advance possible. The cry of a policeman in the crowded streets of a metropolis, "Move on! Move on!" is typical of the world's order to every man. And when, in an age so progressive as the present, a man feels the force of that order, and cannot obey it, the only alternative usually possible is to get into some out-of-the-way nook and let more competent men pass, or—get run over.
Most of the incompetency of life is the result of a delusion that we are deceiving somebody else. To dodge honest work and reap the fruits of work is not possible. Though the semblances of fruits may be gathered, they are Sodom apples that turn to ashes on the tongue. A bright student may "cram" and get through college, but that device will not work when he meets the sterner realities of life in the active world. He
may be puffed up with spurious knowledge for a time, but the inevitable puncture comes, and the collapse will leave him thin even to the verge of the ridiculous. The delusion that the world can be deceived and the deceiver profit by the deception, fills some lives with crime and others with failures.
The student will find but one way to an honest, useful eminence in life, and that is through work. It is as impossible for him to pretend to prepare for and then accomplish that which requires genuine preparation, as it is for a man who is physically weak to do work which requires strength. That well directed, persistent and successful effort sometimes called genius, is within the reach of all, and the time to begin its practice is at the outset of student life.
Two members of the present faculty of the University have labored for the institution since its very beginning. The best years and best efforts of their lives have been given to it, and the present fair condition and prospects of the institution are, in a measure at least, due to the patient and faithful efforts of Professors Snow and Robinson in their respective departments. Other members of the faculty, though not so long identified with the University, have and do still render it valuable service. The declining years of Chancellor Marvin are filled with an almost ceaseless round of toil that is fast whitening his silvered hair and leaving deep traces of care upon his face. Several faithful servants who did not a little to make the University what it is, have gone; some to their graves, others to new fields of labor. And whatever else is said of them, one thing is acknowledged, and that is, that they were not well paid, nor even fairly paid, for actual service rendered. The same is true of those now here. They are not fairly paid. With business men, the world over, it is customary to advance the salaries of employees that have been long in service, so that they may at least obtain a competence for themselves in their old age and their families. Nor is this done as a matter of charity, but rather as a matter of right and gratitude. But Kansas neglects the laborers in her own vineyard, that are doing her more good than money can repay. She neglects even to provide them with the means for a fair living, leaving hope of future competence out of the question. It is certainly not a mark of gratitude. These men have given years of hard work to preparation for their respective departments. They are public servants, devoted heart and soul to serving the educational interests of the State. They cannot engage in other occupations without throwing aside the costly preparation made for that they are now in. They are at the mercy of the State, as represented by its legislators, and not to recognize their faithful service and make allowance for their needs, is a form of ingratitude that Kansas can ill afford to indulge.
The Topeka Commonwealth says "Senator Greene, of Douglas County, made quite a lengthy speech in the Senate, favoring the passage of Senate bill 136, which provides for the erection of an observatory at the State University, conditional that the U. S. Government allows certain claims for losses by reason of the late war of the rebellion. Naturally a pleasing speaker, and having a command of fine language, which many equally able men too often do not possess, he grew especially eloquent in advancing the reasons for the erection of the observatory."

The idea that the Kansas State University is a school solely for the education of the sons and daughters of rich parents, is an idea that shows the earmarks of a demagogue. Any one who labors under so mistaken an impression, should come here and see that the majority of students are from the homes of the poor, and many of them depend entirely upon their own meager earnings to take them through a course of study.
Speaker Clarke and Mr. Riggs rendered good service in behalf of the University Bill. Both of these gentlemen made strong appeals for the University, and brushed up the ideas of a good many gentlemen who had strayed into the legislature without knowing anything of the object or needs of a State educational institution. Legate of Leavenworth, Biddle, of Linn, Kollock, of Rice, and Stumbaugh, of Rush, each made a forcible speech in behalf of the University.
The bill to appropriate $35,000 from the indemnity fund, due the State from the General Government, for the erection of an astronomical observatory at the University of Kansas, passed the Senate but failed in the House.
Near Ashland, Oregon, early one morning recently, a forest of pine trees was seen bending down, as though bowed by a terrific gale of wind. At the same time not a breath of wind was in motion. During the previous night a furious storm had passed over the forest, accompanied by rain and snow, and the steady force of the wind had bent the trees and held them in that position until the falling snow and the freezing ice had fastened them in unyielding bonds of ice, and so they remained until the sun set them free.
The Emperor of Brazil keeps up a regular correspondence with the savans, artists and literary men of the principal European centers. He compliments any notable work by asking for a copy of it, and in this way he has secured at Rio quite a collection of books and pictures, compensating the donors, in return, with jewels and orders.
EXCHANGES.
Among the numerous exchanges received since our last issue, we are pleased to notice several new college papers and magazines. But for want of space our reviews must be limited. However, in later numbers we hope to welcome all new comers, with more than a passing notice.
The Index is as newsy as ever.
The Pastime, in spite of predictions to the contrary, still lives, and, in all probability, will continue to live. The newspaper business at the Kansas State University seems to be rushing just now, and we hope the Pastime may receive the patronage it deserves.
The Kansas Monthly is at hand. Its articles will repay a careful perusal.
The Rochester Campus is a lively paper, filled with choice reading matter, and running over with fun. The locals are simply "immense." Throughout it is a well conducted paper.
The Rockford Seminary Magazine is a first rate monthly and, must it be told, puts some of our university papers, conducted by the lords of the universe, to the blush. Editresses, we are with you, and wish you much success in your undertaking.
The Wabash is a pamphlet especially devoted to its alma mater, most of its articles relating to the college or college affairs. As well as in our own paper, there is a great chance for improvement. Our best wishes are with you.
The College Record, representing Wheaton College, is worthy of commendation in many respects, but in others it might be open to criticism and right here, let us say, we court criticism from all of our exchanges. Like the eminent French actor, we hope to be benefited by just criticism. Consequently, when we find fault, we expect the compliment to be returned. This number of the Record being the first exchanged we forbear specifications.
The Earlhamite wants to know why we do not add "most modest" to the catalogue of virtues of the students at the Kansas University. A well known writer has said, "In this age of advertisement modesty is your ruin." But true intelligence comprises true modesty. At present our school is on the increase, numbering over 400, and in making the correction in the above named paper, we did so in justice to both parties.
The following papers have been received since our last issue:—Earlhamite, February and March numbers,—Carthagenian — Ionian Casket — Our Schools — The American Journal of Education — Round Table — The Campus Wittemberger - The Knox Student - University Magazine The Archangel Kansas Collegiate The College Courier College Herald Industrialist Student Life Denison Collegian The Tripod The Boston Index Kansas Star University Missourian.

SOCIETY.
Rosseau, in speaking of language, represents men as primarily without language. He does not, however, seek to explain how language arose, being disheartened at the outset by the difficulty of deciding whether language was more necessary for the institution of society, or society for the invention of language.
That active intercourse with our fellow creatures, by which we are enabled to communicate our thoughts and feelings to others, and receive theirs in return, seems to have been originated in order that we might aid our fellow men to provide against those dangers which their unaided power could not resist.
In early days people did not congregate in large numbers, but those belonging to the same family lived under control of the father. As soon as a man married he took his bride to some secluded place where their happiness could not be interrupted.
Man is a social being, therefore, it is his nature to live in society; that is, with people with whom he can exchange opinions and feelings. And now since it is his nature, it must have been in existence as long as language.
The society with which a person is thrown has a great effect upon his morals, habits and actions. If a person associates with people who swear, he, of course, wishes to be in the style, and commences this easily acquired habit,—it being easier to learn vices than virtues. If thrown with people who chew and drink, he begins these very "refining" habits, so that his companions will not think him an old maid, or a man who has not yet let go of his mother's apron strings.
If a person is thrown with people who are well educated, able to perform on the various musical instruments, or versed in the languages, he, not wishing to be a "draw-back" to the circle in which he moves, immediately endeavors to acquaint himself with those things which will make him an ornament to society.
Man being a social being, wishes, as I have said, to congregate with others of his kind. And from this congregation arose the necessity of government for the common protection of life and property; whereas, when a number of people are congregated without government, there is a repetition of murder, theft, &c., for each person lives for himself without regard to others.
From an over-refined state of society a person is apt to fall slave to his appetites, because of his having everything that he wishes, without any particular end in view; and through a lack of employment they allow their weak minds to stray and fall a prey to the different vices which are always at hand; like the hawk, ready to capture any one who is weak enough to allow his mind to be reached by the talons of sin.
A government is allowed to waste itself, and eventually to break up, as the old Roman Empire. When the Persians permitted themselves to be weakened and corrupted by their prosperity, when their former virtues, dispositions, and moral qualities, were partly suppressed by the opposite vices, and especially when they began to indulge in all the excesses of sensuality, effeminacy and luxury, they soon brought their monarchy to its decline.
E. B.
REMINISCENCE OF A WEEK IN CAMP.
It was my good fortune not long since to spend a few months in the quiet, rural town of Colorado Springs, and just here let me say it is 6000 feet above the level of the sea, and one of the prettiest towns in the State, nestling just below the foot hills of the grand old Rocky.
After resting for a few days we joined various parties going out for a day's excursion, visiting and exploring caves and caverns, or whatever of interest came in our way.
I would like to tell you of Ute Pass, in which are the Rainbow Falls, 30 feet in height, grand and beautiful. It is said that at ten o'clock a.m., a rainbow is plainly visible, but this we did not see, being several hours too late, but enjoyed fully as well the clear, sparkling water, which came tumbling down the rugged cliff, and the waterfalls of lesser note, in which were mirrored the overhanging bluff and the tiny wild flower by its side. Our trip to the "Punch Bowl" was full of interest, but I will mention only one incident.
While expatiating upon the beauty, romance, and grandeur of its surroundings, a party of spruce young men joined us, one of whom thought to pursue his investigations more fully by crossing on a log to the other side, with the aid of a balancing pole. But great was his chagrin, when, by an unlucky step, he lost his footing, and his inquiring mind was suddenly turned to the laws of gravitation.
But I am digressing. I was going to tell you of a week in camp over the summit of Cheyenne mountain, for we, too, had caught the camping fever. Accordingly four of us packed an outfit, looking well to an ample supply in the provision box, knowing that the appetite never fails on such occasions. Dame nature smiled her approval, and having secured the necessary conveyance, started about noon, bag and baggage.
Just before commencing the ascent, we called at a farm house, paid our toll, and replenished our stock of butter and eggs; the latter being a rather uncertain commodity to pack, I concluded to give them my personal care. The circuitous winding road, cut out of the mountain side, with its numerous "mule shoe bends," was full of interest, while here and there a misstep would have precipitated us down untold depths below. At one point, the road, which was very narrow, had been lately repaired, and in passing over it the mules stopped, refusing to go on, and we were apparently in danger of sliding over the embankment. Remembering that it is "the last straw breaks the camel's back," I quickly leaped from the wagon, holding aloft my basket of eggs; and strange to say not one was injured. The mules caught the idea, or felt some human impulse, and in an instant we stood on solid ground.
We stopped that night in a miner's deserted cabin, and after a luxurious supper, which was served on a board laid across a barrel, we sat by the fire-place, listening to the stories of other days, until our eyes grew heavy, and our hearts almost longed for the loved ones at home.
Morning dawned bright and beautiful. The woodland songsters caroled their sweetest melodies, and the clear mountain stream, with its low plaintive babblings told of contentment. After partaking of a memorable breakfast, we packed our traps and proceeded on toward our destination, which we reached about noon, being two thousand feet above Colorado Springs. Here we were, fifteen miles from any settlement, on the mountains, and mountains all round us, but the day was beautiful and the air laden with the perfume of

woodland clear of conast, weination, it above any setus, but fume of
balsam fir. Birds caroled in every bush and bough, while a beautiful clear stream close by the cabin made the scene one of solitary grandeur. But alas for the cabin! it never had a door, and one third of the roof was gone, while the few logs that remained were warped and shrunken, and the boughs which once thatched the roof had fallen away. How to repair these breaks presented to me obstacles insurmountable, but my companions were old campers and saw nothing to cause alarm or anxiety.
The gentlemen improvised a tent outside, while we held the cabin, and to make it more secure against the intrusion of wild beasts, we covered the door with canvass. Our only weapons of defence were an ax, which the gentlemen took to themselves, leaving us the more formidable one—a case knife! Of course we felt secure and ready to challenge any enemy that might intrude.
Our camp fire was a brilliant affair, lighting up the surrounding hills, sending a cheering gleam within, through the many openings. I could not sleep, so I watched the weird light, and acted as general guard of the camp. Through the day we labored to make our roof more secure, but night came on, leaving the same ventilation unobstructed. While asleep I was suddenly awakened by something trotting across the roof, over our heads. Almost paralyzed with fear, expecting every moment to see some wolf, or I know not what, pounce down through the opening, I called to my sleeping companion, informing her that "some animal had just ran across the top of the cabin!" "O," said she, "it was only a mouse," and as quickly dropped off to "the land of nod."
The days were spent in delightful rambles, gathering wild flowers, mosses, etc., but at last the winds blew, the rains came, and beat upon our house, and it—leaked! Great was our surprise. The novelty and romance were over. Gladly we rallied our forces, broke camp, and sought our village home, and never did its comforts look more inviting.
SOUND IN A SEA SHELL.
In the January number of the UNIVERSITY COURIER I noticed the following article, pretending to prove the cause of the roaring sound heard when a sea shell is held to the ear:
"When a sea shell is held to the ear there is a vibratory sound which children assure each other is the roar of the sea. The sound is caused by muscles in the fingers which are in a high state of tension and whose fibres vibrate. The sound is communicated to the shell and intensified, as the hollow body of the violin intensifies the vibrations of its strings, and thus the acoustic nerve receives the impression. A similar but less intense sound than that which comes from the sea shell can be heard by simply placing the hand over the ear in a certain position."
Now I am not aware who it is that advances this theory; it may be, for aught I know, an ancient philosopher. But however that may be, it appears to me that the theory is false, from the fact that if the shell is laid on a table and the head so inclined as to bring it near the shell, the same sound can be heard, and as intense. Under these circumstances the sound is heard and the fingers are not in contact with the shell at all, proving conclusively to my mind that the theory is an incorrect one.
HOMER J. HENDRICKS.
A young English statistician who was paying court to a lady, thought to surprise her with his immense erudition. Producing his note-book, she thought he was about to indicate a love sonnet, but was slightly taken aback by the following question :
STATISTICS FOR GIRLS.
"How many meals do you eat every day?"
IOLA, Allen Co., Kan., Feb. 7, 1879.
"Why, three, of course; but of all the oddest questions—"
"Namely, love. I'll tell you all about it in a report."
Never mind, dear; I'll tell you all about it in a moment.
His pencil was rapidly at work. At last, fondly clasping her slender waist.
"Now, my darling, I've got it, and if you wish to know how much has passed through that adorable little mouth in the last seventeen years I can give you the exact figures."
"Now, just listen," says he, "and you will hear exactly what you have been obliged to absorb to maintain those charms which are to make the happiness of my life."
"Good gracious! What can that mean?"
"But I don't want to hear."
"Ah, you are surprised, no doubt; but statistics are wonderful things. Just listen. You are now seventeen years old, so that in fifteen years you have absorbed—oxen or calves, 5; sheep and lambs, 14; chickens, 327; ducks, 204; geese, 12; turkeys, 100; game of various kinds, 824; fishes, 160; eggs, 3,120; vegetables (bunches), 700; fruit (baskets), 603; cheese, 173; bread, cake, etc. (in sacks of flour), 40; wine (barrels), 11; water (gallons), 3,000."
At this the maiden revolted and, jumping up, she exclaimed :
"I think you are very impertinent, and disgusting beside, and I will not stay to listen to you!" upon which she flew into the house.
He gazed after her with an abstracted air, and left, saying to himself:
"If she kept talking at that rate, twelve hours out of twenty-four, her jaws would in twenty years travel a distance of 1.332.124 miles."
The maiden, within two months, married a well-to-do greengrocer who was not a statistician.
Hind, the actor, was once, as a desperate brigand, to escape from prison by means of a file and a rope ladder, and just as he got outside of the window, three soldiers, being on guard, were to rush up and fire upon him, and he was to fall dead. Out he got, according to the cue. Up rushed the soldiers, presented, and pulled trigger; but each piece missed fire. They fled in dismay, but instantly returning with other weapons, fired again with similar results, and the audience began to indulge in sinister manifestations; when Hind all at once fell to the ground, and with fearful groans and contortions dragged himself down to the foot-lights, exclaiming: "Great God! I have swallowed the file!" Then he gave some more writhes, uttered one long and hollow groan, and expired. The audience was appalled into satisfied silence.
The papers of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and other Russian cities with universities, contain many advertisements from students, offering their services as private teachers. Such advertisements often read thus : "A student, having no means whatever, prays for any kind of work, at any rate of remuneration." Many Russian students support themselves by giving lessons in the evening, and not a few of them live on the verge of starvation. There have even been cases of death by starvation among them.
Broke! broke! broke! and I have n't a single V,
I haven't a ten cent note: and that's what's the matter with me.
Ah, woe to the tailor man, that he waits so long for his pay!
Alas for the washwoman's boy, that he seeks me day by day!
The wealthy swells ride by in the omnibus up on the hill,
While I wade up through the graveyard mud. O woe! 'tis a bitter pill!
Broke! broke! broke! at the door of the bank I'll be,
If the tender grace of a check from home will only come back to me.

REVIEWS.
The Popular Science Monthly for March, contains, among other articles, the following:"The Electric Light," by Prof. John Tyndall, F.R.S., &c. "On the Chemical Elements," by Prof. J. Norman Lockyer, F.R.S., &c. "Experiments with Living Human Beings," by Dr. George M. Beard. "Science and Socialism," by Prof. Oscar Schmidt. "Is Conscience primitive?" by Warring Wilkinson.
The March number of the International Review is the first of the series edited by John T. Morse, jr., and Henry Cabot Lodge, and contains the following articles: "The Administration and Civil Service Reform," by Edward Cary; "Sleep and Dreams," by Prof. N. S. Shaler; "The Currency and the National Banks," by George Walker; "The Present Condition of the United States Navy;" "A Forgotten English Poet," by Sidney Lanier; "Self-Government in the Territories," by Decius S. Wade, Chief Justice of Montana; "The Silver Conference and the Silver Question," by Simon Newcomb; besides the Review of Recent English Books, by George Barnett Smith, of London, and "Critical Notices of Contemporary Literature," a distinguishing feature of the International. The recent change from a bi-monthly to a monthly was a wise move, as it enables the Review to keep more fully up with current events.
The February number of the Kansas City Review of Science and Industry contains, among other interesting articles, the following: "Chemistry in the Arts," by Prof. G. E. Patrick; "Prof. Nichols on Lockyer's New Theory;" Metallurgy of the Bronze Age;" an article "On some Physical Properties of Ice, and on the Transposition of Boulders by Ice," by John Rae, F.G.S.; besides the usual interesting correspondence and editorial notes.
The March Atlantic contains part second of the entertaining article entitled "A Roman Holiday Twenty Years Ago," from the pen of W. W. Story; "The Great Revolution in Pitcairn," by Mark Twain; a contribution from N. S. Shaler on "The Natural History of Politics," which shows careful observation and research; "Our Land Policy," by Geo. W. Julian; a tribute to the memory of Bayard Taylor, by J. G. Whittier; the conclusion of W. D. Howells' interesting serial entitled "The Lady of the Aroostook;" "Presidential Electioneering in the Senate" recounts the preliminary skirmishes in that body previous to the presidential contest of 1880; the seventh of Richard Grant White's admirable articles on "Americanisms;" the Contributor's Club is, as usual, an interesting feature of the Atlantic. As a literary magazine the Atlantic is unequaled, as a political review it is unexcelled.
Scribner's for March maintains its already high standard of excellence as a literary magazine. The first place is given to an illustrated article entitled "A College Camp at Lake George," which is quite fascinating and of unusual interest to college students. "The 'Old Mill' at Newport," by R. G. Hatfield, is an entertaining account of that "mysterious relic of antiquity." Sydney Lanier contributes a beautiful poem to the memory of Bayard Taylor; "The Passes of the Sierra" is an illustrated description of the gorgeous scenery of that wondrous range. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's serial novel, "Haworth's," is continued. Those who have thus far read "Falconberg" will be intensely interested in the three
chapters presented in this number. Prof. W. G. Sumner contributes an instructive article on finance entitled "The Commercial Crisis of 1837." There are many other interesting articles which space forbids us to mention. "Culture and Progress" is fully up to its predecessors in culture and learning.
A review of the leading magazines of this country would be incomplete were St. Nicholas omitted. This illustrated monthly for girls and boys has reached a higher plane than any similar magazine ever published in this country. It is not filled with wild and adventurous tales, which, it is to be regretted, are too often found in magazines for young folks, and which have been properly termed the "literature of crime," but is replete with wholesome and instructive matter. The March number of this excellent periodical is before us, and is brim-full of matter calculated to interest and instruct children. The magazine is profusely illustrated, opening with a beautiful frontispiece. It would be useless to attempt to describe all the articles in this number and unfair to single out any particular one for examination. The subscription price of St. Nicholas is $3.00 a year, or 25 cts.a number. It is published by Scribner & Co.,743 and 745 Broadway, New-York.
The North American Review is now indisputably the leading publication in this country, if not in the world. This position has been attained under the present able and energetic editorship of Allen Thorndike Rice. The March number of this valuable publication opens with a discussion of the questions, Ought the Negro to be Disfranchised? Ought he to have been Enfranchised? which is participated in by Senator Blaine, Senator Lamar, Senator Wade Hampton, James A. Garfield, Alexander H. Stephens, Wendell Phillips, Montgomery Blair, and Thomas A. Hendricks. The questions are considered in an unpartisan and unimpassioned manner. The discussion should be read by every student of American politics. Prof. Geo. P. Fisher, D. D., contributes a review of "The Philosophy of Jonathan Edwards," being a consideration of the teachings of America's greatest philosopher. "The Indian Problem, by General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., is of especial interest at this time. John R. G. Hassard contributes "Cryptography in Politics," in which he gives the history and explains the art of cypher writing as practiced in the last presidential compaign. "Russian Novels and Novelists of the Day," by S. E. Shevitch, is an examination of the writings of Russia's greatest novelists, Ivan Turgenieff and Count Leo Tolstoy. The North American is published by D. Appleton & Co., New York. Subscription price $5.00 a year, single number, 50 cents.
We are placed under obligations to Mr. F. G. Adams, of Topeka, far a copy of the First Biennial Report of the Kansas State Historical Society, submitted at the annual meeting January 21, 1879. The Society has become one of the institutions of our State, and is shown by the report to be in a flourishing condition.
The wife of a school-teacher at Plymouth, New Hampshire, has just inherited a fortune of $400,000. Imagine the emotions of the husband on receiving the announcement. His first wild exultant impulse must have been to set fire to his old clothes and school-house and ostentatiously strike out for Europe by the light of the conflagration.

International Review
For 1879.
This Review, heretofore issued as a "Bi-monthly," will be continued upon a new plan, and every effort will be made and no expense spared to keep it the best Review and of the highest class. With this object, and in order that it may be more fully abreast of current events than is possible with a bi-monthly publication, the "INTERNATIONAL" will be issued as a *Monthly* on and after January, 1879.
With the March Number the editorship will be assumed by Mr John T. Morse, Jr., author of the "Life of Alexander Hamilton," "Famous Trials," etc., etc., and by Mr Henry Cabot Lodge, formerly editor of the North American Review, and author of the "Life of George Cabot." Mr. Henry B. Barnes, the present editor, will retain his connection with the REVIEW more especially as business editor and manager.
It is intended to make the "INTERNATIONAL" court of the pest, English or continental territories.
A unique and attractive feature of the Review is the Department of Contemporary Literature, which embraces a brief, impartial, and comprehensive summary of the literary movement in all the great countries in Christendom. The movement in England, France, and Germany has been carefully outlined in an annual and entertaining number of portents resists. Enjoyment centres of literary activity. In future like special attention will be given to the leading features of the literary movement in America.
The publishers and editors propose to have all the principal topics of immediate interest treated in the Review by those persons who are especially fitted to deal with the various subjects. The "INTERNATIONAL" will not depend merely upon names, but upon the choice of subjects, and upon the intrinsic merit of the articles, in order to command public attention. The authors should take the Review indispensable to every one who wishes to keep up with the best thought in America and Europe upon the most important subjects.
During 1879, articles may be expected from writers of the highest rank on both sides of the Atlantic, while foreign writers will be admitted freely. American critics will in future, as heretofore, have the preference.
All former pledges of the Review will continue to be observed.
The subscription price will remain at $5, notwithstanding the increase in the annual number of pages. Single numbers will contain 112 pages each, and will be charged on a per-page charge in the price of back volumes or back numbers.
