UNIVERSITY UNIFORM. About three weeks apo
the students OF this institution were informed
that they would be required to wear a uniform
or University dress and since each student
would be required to pay for the same they
might meet together and suggest the color
style, etc. The meeting was held and the uni
form adopted. Dark blue being the color and
the doubIe-breasted naval suit the style. Ths
was unanimously adopted-not one OF the ono
hundred and sixty students suggested the gray.
Their decision was presented to the "Academic
Senate which is composed Of The Faculty, and
with one or two unimpOrtant changes, the boys
were informed that their uniform had been
adopted, and they could proceed to have them
made. Bids were received from u large major
ty of the merchant tailors Of San Francisco and
Oakland. Three having bid about the same
S28, the boys, after consulting with their par
ents, were measured, and fully one-half will re-
ceye their uniforms within the next two weeks.
But that august body, known as the Board of
Regents, must nave something to say They
met in San Francisco, and together with other
business, decided that the blue uniforms were
too expensive, and that the gray should be the
color. In conclusion, we can only say that
should the unpopular gray be adopted, the in
stitution will suffer- as the students would
sooner leave than be compelled to wear the uni
form. In adopting the blue, they did so on the
suggestion of the instructor, n this very import
ant reason-that should they leave the institu-
ton, by simply changing the buttons they
would have as fine a dress suit as could be pur-
chased for from thirty-fve to forty dollars
Again, this suit being neat and dresSy, it can be
worn on all occasions, TO churches promenades
parties, etc. which is more than can be said of
the gray. We trust that the Board of Regents
will use great before deciding in this m-
portent question Oakland Termini.

FRENCH HUMORs-0n the evening Of the
1th, Rochefort, a journalist of France, and as
is asserted, demogoge, who had become too
free in his illusions to the government, having
declined to surrender himself to the endurance
of the penalties imposed upon him by the laws,
was arrested as he was about TO attend meet
ing of his faction in suburb of Paris, The
announcement in that asscmblage created the
greatest commotion ana violence. The presid-
ing officer, partizan of Rochefort, theatrical
ly drew bis sword and declared war against
the Empire, and by discharging his pistol gave
the signal for revolution. The great crowd
surged into the streets, and followed the usual
Partisan fashion by erecting barricades But
Rochefort was borne of by the police to his
prison. There was considerable fighting be-
tween the mob and the police, and many were
wounded and both sides.
But this embryo resolution was quelled, and
without the derect interyentions of the mill
tary forces We can readily guess, however
that the police" which carried the boricades
and made hundreds Of arrests were picked
troops in the unfot.n OF policemen. II is no
matter how the Emperor accomplished bis
victory The danger to him may not be over,
but that he is prepared TO meet tue mob OF
Paris in its worst mood cannot now be doubt
cd, but his dynasty is not, probably OF long
continuance.

so that, even through New York and Indiana

or contingency.
We rejoice to see that Universal Amnesty is
not destined to lag behind. The delegations
from Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, enter
Congress virtually if not literally instructed to
urge its adoption. West Virginia, Missouri,
and Kansas, are moving toward it in their re-
spective Legislatures If 1t shall be needed,
there will be great public meetings held to
promote it in every part of the country. But
we trust no popular agitation will be required.
Congress must be aware of the strong and
growing sentiment which everywhere calls for
the removal of all political disabilities and
prescriptions founded on our late conyulsion
and will respond 10 the call. Letu celebrate the
next anniversary of our National Independence

WINNIPEG.-Th rumor that Riel has been
captured and the government of Winnipeg
Territory remitted to the Hudson Bay Com
pany, is of doubtful authenticity. The last
reliable reports from Fort Garry represented
Riel and his little army to be in full possession.
They had helped themselves to the money,
provisions, arms amunitions, houses and maya
zines of the company, occupied all the forts
and notifications, and commanded all the APP
prOachcs 10 the settlements on the Red and
Assinboinc Rivers. Riel was the choice of
the Jesuit Fathers who fomented the rebellion
and controlled it, and was their agent in all
matters affecting the Territory Unless he has
fallen out with them and the halfbrceds, who
are completely controlled by them, it IS not
likely that he has been made n prisoner, as
there is no force in or near the Territory to
effect his capture.
