COLLEGE CUsTOMs.-It was rough sort
of life which college students led in early
days. About seven hundred years ago,
when the commissioners sent from Rome
by the Pope to make their annual inspec-
ton of the University of Paris found that
certain young men had introduced blocks
OF wood into the recitation rooms to be
used as seats, instead of lying in the straw
on the floor, as they had been accustomed
to do, the innovation was promptly con-
demned, as tending to effeminacy, and
the wooden blocks were at once removed.
In certain periods of the year, the straw
must upon the whole have been the more
comfortable; for in the winter season,
what some of our boys would have con-
sidered good days work was accomplish
ed in the way of praying and chanting,
studying and reciting, before the sun had
dawned; and this without much comfort
of fire, or protection of warm clothing, or
stimulus of generous food.-BiShoD clark

A NoMAN's William example OF the per-
slSrenCy and determination OF WOmankind has
Just occurred in Iowa. There was female who
set her face like a wall OF granite against a new
railroad being built through her farm, nOtwith-
standing her opposition the road was built,
however. She was wrsthy, very wrathy: but
not till the trains began TO run did she COM
n5nce active war. one day, when the locornO-
tive came 70 her property, there was a rail fence
built across the track, and on the tOpmOst rail,
IN the very middle OF the track, sat the dame
with determination and defiance blazing in her
eyes. Would she get of? No, she wouldn't.
he engineer persuaded, cOaxed, threatened,
but all 20 no purpose. There was the woman
directly before him, as immovable as a noun
tain. The train mast go on, and it did go on;
but not TIL the rails began 70 nv did the Obsti-
nate woman hasten from her perch. Defeated
IN this direction, the wOman's next rnoymeut
was 70 oil the track. When the next train
came NJ, OF course the wheels spun round help
lessly, and considerable delay and trouble was
the result, while the injured female stood at a
safe distance, and laughed at the efforts of
the employees with bitterness and scorn
What she viii DO next nobody can tell; but the
railroad people have q deadly fear of her, and
are recommended to give few moments TO pri-
yate devot1ns, as they approach her premises.
~ Montana grasshOppeTs are more rsvenous
than usual this season. They eat wagon-tIres
and have been known to tickle a mule in the
ribs until he kicked, and devour bis shoes while
his feet were in the air.

A WOMAN COwHIDKs A FAITHLHss HIS
BAND-EIci'smeHt IN Printing House SQUARE
An exciting scene took place in third avenue
car, in Printing House square, last evening.
The little party making up the scene consisted
OF Nr. John Jennings, of west 25th street; Mrs
John Jennings, a black haired, black eyed,
pretty little woman, and another pretty female
named Annie Carey, who resides in the same
DeighborhoOd. Jennings left home about seven
O'Clock, telling his wife that he was going to
club meeting Something aroused Mrs. Jen-
niHgS' suspicion, and while she said all right
Johnny" she didn't mean a word of it. John
had no sooner got ont OF the house than his wife
was on his track. She watched him enter a
TeighbOTlng house, and shortly afterwards saw
him issue with the aforesaid Annie in tow.
MIS-. Jennings, instead of confronting the pair
On the spot, watched them enter a third avenue
car, at the corner OF . N street. The wife fol-
lowed Jennings upon finding himself trapped,
made an effort to escape from the front platform
OF the car, and to leave the two females to settle
Il alters between Them This the wife wouldn't
consent TO, and grasping the man by the collar,
SAID she was determined 70 '.shame him - which
che succeeded in doing pretty effectually. A
hvely w0rdy war was kept up between the two
until the car reached the city hall, when Mrs
Jennings, despairing Of her efforts TO persuade
her husband to return home with her, drew
forth a rawhide and commenced belabOring the
unhappy Jennings about the head and shOul-
Gers. A crowd OF about 200 persons gathered,
and policeman soon arrived on the scene. ,Jen-
nings. seeing Row matters stood, put an end to
the row by leaving his lady friend in the car and
quietly returning home with Mrs. Jennings

A French Tragedy.
A SON MURDERED By ms PARENTS

A
IParis Correspondence London Standard
A sbocEing case was tried yesterday lJuly 25)
before the Court OflAssizes Of the Seine, viz the
murder of son, VINO was IN IN tpe hersaihe ss
raTcptz Tie names of the accused are Pierre
iIoSeVh Louis and Marie Euphrssie Hamard,
10th hty-one year. OF age; anu parents OF
sanguinary times which followed on the de-
Isrture Of the tTools to Versailles, both father
and mother espOused the Communist cause, the
father taking a most active part in the
resurrection. The fact that their son was
IN the army outside the city greatly exssperated
them, and both father and mother were FREE
4uently heard 20 menace him with vengeance,
tie mother invariably SAYING, when speaking
Of her son: " should not at all be sorry 70 klll
= NeTssii.ais-a dTinker of blood, like that.
The father was OF a ferOci0us disposition, an
together with his wife, had spent the Whoie OF
their fortune il drinking, iTregularlty anu ue-
bauchCry, and the fortunes OF theI i've s.
wing children were, TO his intense disappoint-
rent. settled or themselves. The eldest son,
Peter. the victim of the TRACE dy, knowing the
sntecedents Of his father, and the part ne TOOK
in the March instruction, and all the events
which, followed, took small i0ug1ng Tor him
self, when he left the service few months at
terward, in preference TO returning under the
Tarental roof. On the 18th Of April OF the pres
ert wear he went TO his mothers laundress 10
reclaim some linen which his sister had left
there two months previously. The mother, on
fearIn this, went, on the 18th, to demand her
linen, which the son offered 20 give up on the
reimburse ment Of the sum he had paid for it
viz: francs IS centlmys. The whole day was
occupied il sending messages TO and fro con-
corning the linen, and at O'Clock in the even.
Ing tie father ,,eXaspeTated, and with his wife in
q state Of intCXiCatiOn, went 20 his sons lOdg-
iEgs, and invited him 10 come down into the
street. who're be called him a " drinker of
bleed" made use Of the vilest epithets, and
challenged him to sight The son replied that
lie would never hgnt his own father, on which
his mother, excited by drink, seized him By the
hair, ard while rLe held his head back, the
father plunged a knife into bis heart, killing
MIN on the spot. The depositiOns of the wit
nesses, principally the children of the murder
ers, were conclusive as to the totally drunken
and demCraliZed existence of the parents; as for
the tragedy itself, both father and mother DIS
claimed any intention OF taking their sons life.
notwithstanding their reiterated menaces in
presence OF neighbOTs and their own children,
who were present when the crime was accom-
plished. The jury, after ten minutes consulta-
ton together. rendered a verdict OF guilty with
out any mention Of extenuating circumstances,
and both father and mother were condemned to
transportation for life.
