There were about seventy-five persons present, and at 9 o'clock the bridal party entered the magnificent parlors. In the van was Mr. Jason Hidden, closely followed by E. Bierer, each in company with the lady of his choice, and the brides' and grooms' parents. The Rev. A. C. Peck, of the Baptist church, performed the ceremony that made the four two and the twos ones. The brides were dressed exactly alike. After the young couples had been congratulated seemingly enough, the party retired to the dining room, where a sumptuous repast had been prepared. The table was a marvel of beauty. The couples were made the happy recipients of a great many presents. At a late hour the guests retired with best wishes for the happiness of the two young couples.

THE SOPHOMORE RECEPTION.
The Sophomore class made a new departure. Friday evening, May 9th, a grand reception was given to the class by one of the young lady members, Miss Mamie Woodward, at her home on Tennessee Street. The class in its Freshman year gave great promise, and as it nears the close of its second collegiate year, it is acknowledged, by the Faculty and students, both in the higher and lower classes, to be the most intelligent class that has ever entered the University. By nine o'clock each gallant Sophomore and lady had assembled. Mr. W. H. Simpson and Misses Marvin and Bay, Mr. R. W. E. Twitchell and Miss Mamie Dillon, Mr. W. H. Herron and Miss Maggie Eidemiller, Mr. C. G. Upton and Miss Alice Peabody, Mr. E. G. Smith and Miss Alice Collier, Mr. G. S. Hopkins and Misses Morrow and Baker, C. F. Scott and Miss Florence Finch, Mr. H. J. Hendricks and Miss Julia Watson, Mr. E. Hayworth and Miss Mary Schmucker, Mr. S. O. Henry and Miss Nellie Thacher, Mr. Richard Foster and Miss Mamie Woodward. The early part of the evening was passed gaily, in conversation, interspersed with vocal and instrumental music: later, the company was called to order by the president, Miss Florence Finch, and, after a few introductory remarks, she announced the programme, which was as follows: First, the poetess, Miss Alice Peabody, read a short poem, on the first experiences and future hopes of the class. The poem was beaming with wit, and was received with merited applause. A historical sketch followed, written by Miss Mamie Woodward, and read by Mr. H. J. Hendricks, containing a personal sketch of each individual member, relating the probable and improbable events, from "childhood's early hour;" their fortunes and misfortunes, as well as their joys and sorrows. The prophet, Mr. C. F. Scott, who, up to this time had been confined in a closet, mid cyanide bottles, bug nets and butterfly presses, was led forth, and, unlike his associates who looked through a glass darkly, he, face to face, revealed their future, portraying in vivid colors the worlds they are to conquer; the scientific principles they were to discover—here is a great statesman, there an eminent author, their worthy president a physician and surgeon equal to Valentine Mott, one a divine, another a silver-tongued orator—and forever dispelling the fear which had greatly agitated the class, that the world would positively come to an end when they should leave the rostrum as graduates of the K. S. U. Refreshments were then served, and disposed of as only voracious Sophs can. The remainder of the evening was spent in music and dancing, and, at a late hour, having bidden their fair hostess a kind adieu, they dispersed, having spent a most enviable evening.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.
It is said that in all this world there are no two persons who are exactly alike, that possess every quality in exactly the same degree. And yet all of these may be classified in three grand divisions: theorists, strictly practical men, and those who combine in themselves both theory and practice. Of the two elements, theory and practice, all men are composed. These elements extend throughout the universe. That everything is made implies practice; that everything is made on a plan implies theory. And as sure as it is that everything to succeed must follow some plan or system, so sure is it that a man, to succeed, must combine in himself both theory and practice. Theory is the method by which anything should and could be done, were there no contingencies, no counter currents, no antagonistic force of opposite laws, no anything, except what appears to the fired imagination of the ambitious youth, calculating his chances of success in life. But the moment he appears in the active world to fulfill those calculations, he sees another element which had not appeared to him before. An indescribable something which some have called chance. But whatever it may be called, it is an element which throws into confusion the best laid theories of philosophic minds. In putting into execution theories when in contact with this element of chance, another element, which might be called the law of adaptation, generally called practise, must be brought to our aid. It is this that takes up theories and works them, in spite of the antagonism which may come from time and chance.
Theory and practice are two of the many things with which the world is filled, that are so closely allied and yet so mutually destructive. They are as some one has remarked of women: "Men cannot get along without them, and hardly with them." Practice cannot exist without theory. A man cannot build without a plan. And yet we seldom see a great theorist who is capable of carrying into successful operation his theories. The philosopher, John Locke, was one of the finest theorists that the English people have ever known. But when he attempted to form a code of laws for governing men, according to the most approved style, he failed. He undoubtedly had beautiful theories, but in acquiring them he had lost the power of putting them into shape for practical use. There must be theories of government, but experience shows that those governments which have the least theory are practically most successful. Not that theory in itself is not desirable, but that too much of it destroys executive ability. When a ruler comes to look upon his subjects merely as parts of a grand machine, of which he is the head, he leaves out of the calculation an element in man which becomes painfully apparent when he attempts to execute his plans. It has been remarked by a recent lecturer that the tendency is to mass men, to throw them into one vast machine, of which one man is the manager. In other words, to theorize them. To this source may, in reality, be traced the riots of the last few years. Men feel that they have been insulted, their rights trampled upon, and they are determined on revenge. They can give no reasonable cause for their insane anger, so they point to the "bloated bond-holders," who, they say, are robbing them. But the root of the matter is this attempt to mass them, to destroy their individuality. The same thing may be seen in our schools, where one teacher is the idol, the other the abhorrence, of the students. The cause of this may be found in the

As the effect of volcanic action is to neutralize the effect of the flow of water, as the centrifugal force of a body is opposed by the centripetal, as everything in the universe is held in its place by mutual attraction or repulsion, so theory and practice mutually neutralize each other. A nation composed entirely of practical men is uncivilized. A nation composed wholly of theorists is the laughing stock of barbarians. The botanist has the theory of plant growth, the farmer grows plants; but the botanist is seldom a good farmer, and the farmer rarely cares anything for botany. Yet a farmer should know something of botany, and the botanist should be capable of farming. Thus we see that although too much of either destroys the other, yet a man can be complete only by combining both theory and practice.
G. W.G.
THE USES OF SCIENCE.
Intellectual advance and personal benefit are not the only reasons for thorough and exhaustive study of nature. The practical results which must sooner or later spring from these theoretical beginnings are also to be considered. The first question which confronts a new development of scientific knowledge is, What is it good for? The second is, Will it pay? From such questions the investigator turns with displeasure, and incurs censure as a visionary. It is not his province to apply his discoveries to practical life. But if he does not do so there is no reason for supposing that it cannot be done. He has originated the idea. It is for another to clothe that idea with utility. The patient investigations and experiments of Faraday, Henry, and Thomson, were necessary in order that Morse, Field, Gray, and Edison, could have sufficient knowledge of the laws of electricity to apply them to practical purposes. Plainly, then, practical results come from pure science. It is not in accordance with the evident arrangement of nature that any part should minister solely to the curiosity of man, without being of some practical use in the universe. It is from nature only that we can get material for new advances. But she seems unwilling to be questioned by the financier. To those who seek to unravel her mysteries from love of knowledge and of truth, to those who delight in the discovery of a theoretical truth, and its confirmation by experiment, to those who aim to show the wonders of her workings, and thus point from the creation to the Creator, to these only will nature reveal her secrets.
Such work can not be done by those who are overtasked with other duties, whose strength is expended in instruction, whose means are limited, and whose surroundings are uncongenial. Concentration is necessary. To insure it, some advocate large universities, with instructors in each specialty. Others advise the establishment of chairs which shall have original research for their main object. Whichever may be the better plan, it is evident that neither of them can be put into practice until the educated public have come to see the importance of the step. That it is important, the results of the investigations during the past century abundantly show. The outlook is most hopeful, and the sooner America encourages systematic original research, the sooner will she be on an even footing with European countries.
B.
ORIGINALITY.
Some say that originality is a sterling virtue. But when it is remembered that almost every path of human endeavor has been traversed again and again, every mine of human thought has been worked and reworked, we cannot wonder at the lack of originality in our day. Occasionally an individual, more successful than his fellows, brings out something which strikes them as exceedingly brilliant and enterprising, and the common herd immediately follow. Yet it is a fact that many men who have been considered originators of things for which they have become celebrated, were mere imitators, reaping where they sowed not, appropriating the honor and rewards which were due to another. They were in a certain sense deceivers, sheep in wolves' clothing, as it were. Some people are so foolish as to think that a periodical should be original through out. But how preposterous an idea is this! We have only to look at the many instances of unrewarded originality to be convinced of this. Jacob of old was not original; for we are told that he, by simply conforming to the outward appearance of his brother, and by substituting common goat's flesh for delicious venison, deceived his blind and doting father, and received the blessing which belonged to another. But Joseph, arrayed in his coat of many colors, thought to depart from the youthful ways of his father, to wear his own peculiar garb, and walk in honest, upright ways. But what was the reward for his originality? On account of his evident and declared superiority over his brethren, he was despised by them and sold into Egypt. The coat, somewhat changed in color, was shown to his father. The deception was successful, and old age was again duped. But some do so that the honesty and originality of the boy gained for him wide reputation, which afterward enabled him to rescue his brethren, old man and all, from the ravages of famine. If this be true, it only shows the virtue and generosity of the boy whose originality was a failure. Originality is very fine in theory, and possibly a sterling virtue, but in practice it don't most always "pan out." J. H. O.

During the last two years there have been several enterprises started by the students, and each and every one has met with either poor success or total failure. We are not fully able to understand this, but think that the reason of the failure to carry any one thing out is due to poor management more than anything else. The Cadets were a total failure, simply because the company was badly managed. And now the Field-Day exercises are liable to fall through, simply through a want of good managers.
It seems as though something should be done to keep field sports alive in Kansas University. Our Base Ball Association has taken no steps whatever to make the University nine a credit to the college. It has been wisely remarked, that a great deal of false conscientiousness exists among our college boys. They are afraid to spend an hour or two at ball, once or twice a week, for fear some particular study may lose its share of attention. They do not seem to understand that no matter how much we may store the mind with knowledge, it will do us no good, if our health is shattered and our constitutions ruined.
The Field-Day committee now has a different chairman, Mr. H. J. Hendricks, and under his supervision something may come of this enterprise yet. Every person who has ever had anything to do with such matters knows full well that the success of this enterprise depends on earnest and faithful work on the part of the committee, and a hearty co-operation of the rest of the students. The Faculty, too, could render material aid, by a small consideration from each member. The base-ball grounds on each side of Massachusetts Street will be used for the exercises. The west side will be used for base-ball, and the east side for the various races and jumping matches. A brass band will furnish music on the occasion, and if every one would work with a will. Saturday, the day set apart for these exercises, will be the most interesting part of Commencement week.
A certain lady Prof. is desirous of having her students understand that she has ears—at least she impressed a certain young "delirious Fresh." with that idea the other day. We would advise the members of '81 to lay low in that quarter, for verily she hath ears and eyes also, and uses them to a good advantage, too. So beware, thou gentle skipper of the tra la loo from Hogtown, and take our advice : or, as we have no time to give it, we would refer you to Soper.
The Roman Catholic institutions of learning have suffered very heavily of late by fires. About the first of April the college at St. Mary's, Kansas, was almost totally destroyed, and here lately the stables were burned, over twenty head of fine horses being burned up. On the 23d of April the Notre Dame University was also destroyed, with a loss of $200,000, insurance $60,000. Besides the buildings a library valued at $10,000, and containing 25,000 volumes and 17 pianos, was burned. This institution was founded by Father Torin. It is said that the late Emperor Napoleon was a sworn friend to the institution, and among many presents which he made it was a chime of bells, the largest on the American continent. The University buildings will be rebuilt immediately.
T.
The late Gen. John A. Dix always devoted much attention to literature and art. He was a sworn friend to education. He conducted the Northern Light, a literary journal published at Albany, and he was for many years one of the regents of the University of the State of New York, a position which he resigned last year, owing to his advanced years and more pressing occupations. He was the author of a very fine translation of the old Latin hymn "Dies Irae," Resources of the City of New York, A Winter in Madeira, A Summer in Spain and Florence, and two volumes of "Speeches." He was registrar of Trinity church, his son, Rev. Morgan Dix, being rector, and for some time had charge of the real estate and property of this wealthy organization. T.
Lawrence takes the premium on pretty girls. It also, according to "commercial tourists," holds the blue ribbon as far as flirting is concerned. There are about fifteen of such ladies who think it is something to be proud of to know these Chicago and St. Louis "mashers." We have heard certain ladies rave over some illiterate drummer's eyes and moustache, and some of these ladies attend the University, too. We have had our Darling, but he has left us. His dark, silky hair and moustache, had its effect upon these giddy girls. But if we were to have just such dead beats play their little game upon us every day in the week, our girls would never learn any better. The reason is this: Young men are scarce in Lawrence, and girls, true to their nature, gobble up these "transients," without any knowledge whatever of their previous character or "condition of servitude." It would be a good thing for Lawrence, as far as the girls are concerned, were the K. P. General Offices moved from Kansas City here. That prosperous village would hardly miss the boys, and they would be quite an addition to Lawrence male society.
Some one of our exchanges has remarked that an essay on base-ball, or a report of any base-ball game should not be found in the editorial columns of a college journal. We record our agreement therewith, and would also add that advertisements of the university which the paper represents (? should also not take up too much of its space. One, or perhaps two advertisements, well worded, might be inserted, but space for a larger number should not be allowed, unless especially remunerative!
Probably no better thing could be done by those in debt to the Courier, than to send the half dollars that they owe for subscription.

We have been asked why the Sophs. and Freshies do not have another game of ball. The Soph. is entirely fascinated by bugs, snakes, birds and all kinds of animals, from the mule down.

Riffle is assistant engineer, Rankin chain bearer, and Jenkins and Raymond peg drivers. We laugh heartily as we think of our classic "Jenks" wielding the heavy sledge, on the plains, twenty-five miles west of Topeka.
—A party, mostly students, went to the residence of Mr. L. to charivari his daughters and sons-in-law. The orchestra was composed of the following: E.B., leader and drummer; F.W., tin horn; A.C., dinner bell; J.S., dinner bell; C.B., horse fiddle; S.W., corn fiddle; A.P., fine toothed comb. After several fine pieces they were invited to a repast of the delicacies of the season. Mr. Stuart acted as hash-slinger. The boys got plenty to eat, which was something unusual. We are sorry we cannot go into details relative to this grand musical entertainment, but of its class it was all that the most fastidious could desire.
Not long since several ladies and gentlemen of the Senior class, and Prof. Schlegel, went to the classic Kaw to have a boat ride. A few baskets showed that they did not intend to suffer the pangs of hunger. Prof. S. and Miss A. had just got in the boat, commanded by Captain Stevenson, the lady professor was seated, but Miss A. was standing, when one oar fell out; the brave Miss A. made a grab for it; she secured it; but alas! the boat had dipped water, wetting Prof. S. completely. The boat was hauled on shore, and the water taken out, and once more they started. It was delightful rowing, going up stream, but when they turned homewards, the wind blew so hard that it was almost impossible to row. After repeated attempts and kind encouragement from the ladies, they at last arrived safely at the bridge. Prof. S., we understand, suffers from a severe cold on account of being wet.
-A facetious brakeman on the Central Pacific Railroad, cried out as the train entered a tunnel: "This tunnel is one mile long and the train will be four minutes passing through it." The train dashed into daylight again in 4 seconds, and the scene within the car was a scene for a painter. Seven young ladies were closely pressed by seven pairs of masculine arms, fourteen pairs of lips were glued together, and two dozen whisky flasks flashed in the air.

UNIVERSITY COURIER.
GRAY'S ELEGY.
THOMAS GRAY was an English poet, born in Cornhill, London, December 26th, 1716, died July 30, 1771, of gout, and was buried at Stoke-Pogis, the place at which this poem was written.
He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, where his expenses were borne by his mother, his father refusing to maintain him. At Eton, Gray formed an intimacy with Richard West, a son of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and also with Horace Walpole, with whom, in 173941, he traveled in France and Italy. On the death of Cibber, the laureatship was offered him, which he declined.
His study was not confined to the usual limits of ancient classical philology; he was not only deeply versed in the romance literature of the Middle Ages, in modern French and Italian, but had studied the then almost unknown departments of Scandinavian and Celtic poetry.
The elegy was commenced in the county churchyard of StokePogis, Buckinghamshire, in which town his mother was living. It originally appeared in 1752 (seven years after commencement), and achieved an immediate popularity; four editions being called for within a year. His Elegy is the culmination of his genius, almost every line having fixed itself upon the popular mind. For more than a century this Elegy has kept its place as one of the masterpieces of English verse. It is so compact that in some instances the sense is continued through the stanzas.
"And leaves the world to darkness and to me."
How beautifully appropriate is evening for beginning this Elegy. And in the first stanza, with what exquisite language and beauty does he express these few simple words, "It is evening, the herds are driven through the valley, and the tired plowman is going home." The last line of this stanza :
How finely does it express that his spirits are low, and that he is in deep meditation, and that all but he have retired and are able to forget the troubles of the day; but he who is a miserable being was still to be troubled by the cares and strifes of this world.
"Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds."
Who can, at first sight, believe that these beautiful lines could be reduced to this simple thought: It is dark, and everything is quiet.
"Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower, The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such as wandering near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign."
The beautiful personification. Think of that hideous noise which an owl makes, being likened unto some higher being, who is complaining to the moon.
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stanzas are very closely connected. In these he speaks of the lot of the poor, representing them as without knowledge of any kind, save that of the farm. Reference to Goodrich's History of England shows that these lower classes were without knowledge of any kind, even a great many of the church offices being filled by men who had little or no learning. In the eighth stanza:
"The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth, ere gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour :
The paths of glory lead but to the grave."
In which he expresses the thought, that no matter what a
The ninth is very closely related to the seventh. Notice the beautiful language by which he sets forth these reflections. Do not blame the poor if there is nothing in their memory to keep us ever mindful of them.
person's lot, all have to die and alike answer before the judgment.
"Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault. If memory o'er their tombs no trophies raise."
The eleventh stanza is elegant in every way. The beautiful metaphor—
"But knowledge, to their eyes, her ample page. Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er unroll."
Is rich with the productions of language. The personification
"Chill penury repressed their noble rage And froze the genial current of the soul,"
Is also very pretty.
The twelfth :
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air."
Is what may be very appropriately called a figure of beauty. It expresses in genuine poetry the old commonplace proverb, "There are as good fish in the sea, as ever came out of it."
The thirteenth, in which he says that these men may have had the abilities to be Miltons and Cromwells, though they never were placed in such circumstances as to be able to make it known.
The fourteenth is connected with the thirteenth; he says in this that these men might have had the abilities to command the applause of Senates, to laugh at danger, and to be able to make their subjects happy. And from the good which they could have done, it would be plain to read their history in the advancement of their nation. But their lot was such that they would not fight for honors or the throne; which is very beautifully expressed in these lines:
"Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind."
The fifteenth,
"Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learned to stray; Along the cool, sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way."
Expresses very beautifully that they belonged to the very low st class, and that they never left the most common paths of society; they had no desire to become anything more than they were, their knowledge was so limited.
The sixteenth and seventeenth are closely connected; he says that over these poor bones there is still something erected to call our attention to the spot in which they are laid. These, though with uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture, written in the very poorest language, supply the place of fame and elegy.
The eighteenth asks this question: "Who ever died and was ready to go, willing, and never had a longing to stay?" This stanza may be said to be one of the "hidden treasures."
In the twentieth, in which he soliloquizes of himself: For you, who paying so much attention to the unhonored dead, as to relate their tales, probably some person may, in future, inquire of your fate, and some swain may say:
"Otf have we seen him at the peep of dawn, Brushing with hasty steps the dews away, To meet the sun upon the upland lawn."
In the twenty-first and second, he still speaks of himself as

being a despondent man, and oft in his wanderings through the woods he would mutter to himself as one
"Crazed with care or crossed in hopeless love."
And then at noon he would lie under the shade of yon beech, and gaze intently upon the brook that runs by.
In the twenty-third, how beautifully does he express that he had died, and that it was his funeral procession which was passing by the place which he was used to frequent.
In the twenty-fourth, how well does he express that he was a despondent person; though he had knowledge, and great penetrating and comprehensive information, still this was not enough to make him happy.
In the twenty-fifth he speaks of his own charity, and that Heaven rewarded him for this by giving him his only wish—a friend.
In the twenty-sixth, which is a very beautiful conclusion, he says: No further seek his merits to disclose, or draw the frailties from their dread abode, where they alike wait, trembling, the decision of God, who knows all.
Constant traces may found in all his works of the degree to which he had assimilated the spirit not only of the Greek lyric poetry, but the finest perfume of the great Italian writers. Many passages of his works are a kind of mosaic of thought and imagery, borrowed from Pindar, from the choral portions of the Attic tragedy, and from the majestic lyrics of the Italian poets of the 16th and 17th centuries; but though the substance of these mosaics may be borrowed from a multitude of sources, the fragments are fused into one solid body by the intense flame of powerful and fervent imagination.
Gray may be said to over-color his language, and to indulge occasionally in an excess of ornament and personification; he will, nevertheless, be always regarded as a lyric poet of very high order, and one who brought an immense store to feed the fire of rich and powerful fancy. * *
AN UNSELFISH CREED.
Writing in Scribner for April of "Some Thin Virtues," and especially of toleration, Dr. Holland says:
Men tolerate each other and each other's sentiments and opinions, and are much too apt to be content with that. They altogether over-estimate the value of it, but beyond this there is in some quarters, and ought to be in all quarters, a sense of brotherhood among all honestly and earnestly inquiring souls. There is no reason why Dean Stanley and Mr. Darwin should not be the most affectionate friends. There is no good reason why Cardinal Manning and Mr. Matthew Arnold should not be on the most delightful terms of intimacy. There is no good reason why Mr. Frothingham and Dr. Hall, Dr. Draper and Dr. Taylor should not be bound up in loving brotherhood. They undoubtedly tolerate one another now. It would be simply indecent for them to do anything less, but we fear that we have not quite reached the period when these men, with a profound respect for one another's manhood, truthfulness and earnestness, recognize each other as seekers for truth, and love and delight in each other as such. We are all interested in the same things, but we happen to be regarding them from different angles.
Some of the sincerest men in the world are the doubters.
"There is more faith in honest doubt,
Bellevy me, than in half the creeds."
These men get very little of the sympathy that by right belongs to them. They have as great a love for truth as anybody, and are looking for it, but by the constitution of their minds, or by the power of an unfortunate education, or the influence of an untoward personal experience, they find themselves thrown off into a region of skepticism, where they have
no congenial companionship. They do not get even toleration, from those particularly who inherit their creeds, and to whom faith is as natural as breathing. These men ought all and always to be brought affectionately into the great brotherhood of truth-lovers and truth-seekers, and a Christian of any name who cannot throw his warmest sympathies around these, and regard them with a peculiarly affectionate interest, must necessarily be a very poor sort of creature. All honest truth-seekers are always truth-finders, and all have something in possession that will be of advantage to the others. The differences between them are sources of wealth to the whole.
This is true of all truth-seekers, and it is particularly true of the different sects of Christendom. Let not the Catholic think for a moment that he has nothing to learn of the Protestant, and let not the Protestant think that he holds all truth to the exclusion of his Catholic brother. The fact that all these sects exist and find vitality enough in their ideas to keep them prosperously together, shows that there is something to learn, everywhere, and among them all, and that the policy is poor which shuts them away from one another's society. It is better to remember that truth is one, and that those who are earnestly after it, whether they deny Christianity or profess it, whether they are called by one name or another, belong together, in one great sympathetic brotherhood of affection and pursuit.
One of the Austrian officers employed in reorganizing the Persian army gives the following details of its strength, and of the peculiar characteristics of the men composing it. As at present organized, the armed forces of Persia consist of seventy-seven battalions of infantry, each from 800 to 1000 men strong, and numbering therefore altogether some 70,000 men; of seventy-nine regiments of cavalry, each of about 400 sabres, comprising, therefore, together, about 30,000 troopers; of twenty regiments of artillery, with a total strength of 5000 men and 200 guns, and, finally, of a regiment of pioneers, 500 men strong. The regular army, therefore, comprises altogether 105,000 officers and men of all ranks and of all arms of the service. The armament at present consists for the most of muzzle-loading rifles, but 30,000 men are to be at once supplied with breech-loading weapons. The Persian infantryman is, in the opinion of the Austrian writer, an excellent soldier. A good marcher, sober, capable of performing an almost incredible amount of hard and continuous work, he would, if adequately instructed and well fed, prove a most formidable enemy. The men composing the cavalry are all bold and skillful riders, but they are untrained in military evolutions.
—A young woman who, as the local newspaper phrases it, "was a high stepper and traveled with her neck arched," went to live in Vanceburg, Ky. The young village physician and others fell in love with her, but she encouraged none save the physician, who soon had the arrangements perfected for an elopement. At midnight he placed a ladder against her house, and climbed to her window. She raised the sash, disclosing herself in a traveling dress, ready for the journey. At that point several shots in rapid succession startled the pair, and they saw the physician's wife firing wildly from the foot of the ladder. The young woman dodged out of sight, and the physician, by abject prayers and promises, induced his wife to take him home uninjured.
—A San Francisco woman married a coachman unwittingly, believing him to be a Mexican nobleman. He was deceived, too, for he supposed her wealthy, whereas she was really poor. They parted after an unpleasant honeymoon of a week. "Had I known that I would only get morning breezes for breakfast, trade winds for dinner, and fog for supper," she wrote, "I would have told you my constitution couldn't stand it. I trust that, if you marry again, you will prepare to provide your wife with a bill of fare instead of a bill of air."

REVIEWS.
The Atlantic Monthly for May commences with a fine paper on Labor and the Natural Forces, by C. C. Coffin. In his conclusion the author says that the people of civilized nations have more property now than in the past; that the earnings of to-day are greater than those of 1860; that the cost of living has not advanced in proportion to the earnings, and that the change has been brought about by the development of the forces of nature, through discovery, invention, the use of machinery, and the harmonious working of capital and labor, there being no real antagonism between the last. Helen Hunt gives a very interesting description of a visit to Leadville. Mrs. Stowe gives her Florida Plantation. In the Abolition of Poverty, Mr. A. D. Mason portrays the various working of a co-operative scheme. Henry Van Brunt gives a criticism of the decoration of Trinity Church, Boston, and of the assembly chamber at Albany, his theme being The New Dispensation of Monumental Art. An unusually interesting history of English Civil Service Reform is given by Willard Brown.
Scribners' Monthly for May is the opening number of a new semi-annual volume. Its special features are a portrait of O. W. Holmes, drawn from life, by Eaton, with a facsimile of his handwriting, and a very copiously illustrated biography by F. H. Underwood; The New Museum in Rome, by Sofia Bonpiana, formerly Miss Van Mantre, of Cincinnati; A Day on the New York Docks, by C. H. Farnham; Village Lawn Planting, by S. Parsons, Jr.; The Pastoral Bees, by John Burroughs, and a description of Para, the Metropolis of the Amazons, the first of a series of articles on Brazil, by A. H. Smith. These are all profusely and elegantly illustrated. J. R. G. Hassard describes the musicians Wilhelmj and Remenyi, and Chase adds pen and ink portraits to the sketch. Mrs. Burnett's Haworth's is continued. Adeline Trafton furnishes the first part of a new story, which will be concluded in the next number. A. A. Hayes, Jr., writes pleasantly of A Man Without Enthusiasms. Mrs. Burnett is also represented in a completed story of the Latin Quarter. Dr. Holland, Mrs. Piatt and T. W. Parsons and others contribute poems. There is an entertaining account of a village in Sussex, England, while overflowing editorial departments occupy the closing pages. In order to give new subscribers the opening chapters of Mrs. Burnett's great novel, "Haworth's," the publishers offer, or any dealer will supply, the bound Volume XVII in the new and elegant olive-green embossed covers (instead of the unbound numbers), for the past six months, without charge; that is, for $4.00 will be sent Volume XVII bound, and a six months' subscription (May '79 to October '79 inclusive), with four frontispiece portraits of Longfellow, Emerson, Holmes and Whittier.
St. Nicholas for May has for its frontispiece "The May King," a charming picture of five girls with joined hands swinging in a circle around a little boy. Mary B. Willard writes on The Arithmetic of Gingerbread. Ernest Ingersoll describes Morocco in a finely illustrated paper entitled The Land of the Powder Players. Harriet P. Spofford's Boy Astronomer is concluded. There are illustrated poems by Susan Coolidge, Howard Pyle, and Nora Perry; thrilling illustrated story of the Big Bear of Wannetda; Jerry's Baby Elephant; Terrible Adventures of Ourselves and the Marshal; Very Little Folks, and Jack in the Pulpit departments, and a host of other good things, which the juveniles will be glad to hunt up themselves.
EXCHANGES.
—"Notes upon the Coleoptera," in the last number of the Round Table, will be read by every student of natural history, with avidity. The issue is very interesting.
The College Record for April contains an article on Medieval Minstrelsy, which will repay careful perusal. Its editorial columns are ably conducted.
-It is "immensely" interesting to hear the exchange editor of the Wabash call the exchange editor of the Archangle a puny little puppy, Fido, &c., and to hear the reciprocating terms of endearment from the other party. Gentlemen, would it not be better to leave such matters out of college papers, meet somewhere on the U. P. railroad, and settle the dispute once for all in true western style?
From the Student Life: "The Cadets, after an existence of six months, have disbanded, for a multitude of reasons. This company was organized at an early date in September, and settled all accounts which were due, April 17, 1879." We recently buried an only child, aged one year. The parting is sad, but we know how to sympathise with you.
The Industrialist comes out with a new cut of the college building and grounds, in its last issue. There are several points of difference between the perspective cut and the original. However, you have our best wishes that the ideal may become a reality, and that, too, very soon.
The Southern Collegian for April contains several interesting articles.
—Apropos of the banquet soon to be given by the Soph. ladies of our class. The Wittenberger in its last number gives an account of a successful entertainment of the Sophomore class, on the eve of March 12. One of the toasts responded to was "Wine, War and Women," another, "Wooden Shoes, Frogs, and Philosophy." From the extended account it must have been an enjoyable affair.
The Knox Student ever presents a neat appearance, and in addition to this, the April number teems with interesting matter. Success be with thee.
The Vidette says: Miss Ada Somers has been in the far West winning high praises from the press and public in a role of Pinafore." To this we would like to add, that her appearance at Lawrence was a success in every particular, and that if she is a member of your University we envy you.
The Niagara Index for April 15th is at hand, presenting the usual creditable appearance and racy reading.
The Reveille, from Chester, Pa., again lies on our table. We read it with considerable interest. We would advise our eastern papers to let up on Pinafore. It is an old story out in Kansas.
—Out of our basket tumbles that always looked for and eagerly read Rockford Seminary Magazine. Of all our exchanges, we take the most pleasure in reading this, and why? Simply because five clear-headed, intelligent girls are the editresses. It "opens up" with a poem on the Burial of the Rose. The translation is very good. Next comes an article on Ministering, a very excellent production. There is a little too large an amount of what are called "heavy articles" in this number. Ladies, can't you give us a little more of the ridiculous—a little funny poetry, such as was in your February number?

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, former 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.
Many new writers will furnish articles to the "INTERNATIONAL" in addition to the already long list of well-known contributors.
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 carried out by correspondents in an instructive and entreatible manner, by correspondents in hard 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 most merit of the articles, in order that a single attentive and apprehensive the proprietors hope to make the publisher dispensable to every one who wishes to keep up with the best thought in America and Europe upon the most important subjects.
movement in America. 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 writers 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 1!2 pages each, and will be sold at 50 cents. There will be no change in the price of back volumes or back numbers.
