At a College.

Something of an excitement arose at
Princeton IN. J.) College over the ex-
pulsion of about forty students for dis
obedience of college laws. 1t seems that
for some time past secret society has
been in existence among the students,
which was fast gaining headway and
dangerous influence, Notwithstanding
the faculty did their utmost to ferret out
the root of it. When the existence of
the society was discovered and its spirits
and aims exposed, the members of it
were ordered to break it up. This they
stubbornly refused to do. The faculty
worked hard to dissuade them from their
amusement, but finding that it was all
to no purpose measures were then taken
to make an example of the leading organ
izers by expelling them. Two-thirds of
the number erexpelled belong to the senior
class. Many of the other students COM
plain that the faculty has acted hastily
and without sufficient cause, and threaten
to create trouble unless their expelled as
sociates are reinstated. 1t is feared that
the boat clubs, base ball, and gymnastic
association will have to be disbanded for
some time in consequence of the expul-
sion of so large q number of students.
Besides those already expelled, it is said
that more will soon be subjected to the
same fate.

Care of the Ear.

In his treatise on physiology, Hinton
gives us to understand that the passage
of the ear does not require cleaning by
us; nature undertakes that task, and in
the healthy state fulflls it perfectly.
Her means for cleansing the ear is the
wax which dries up into thin scales and
peels off and falls away imperceptibly.
In health the passage of the ear is never
dirty, but an attempt to clean it will in
fallibly make it so. Washing the ear
out with soap and water is bad; it keeps
the wax moist when it ought to become
dry and scaly, and makes it absorb dust.
But the most hurtful thing is the intro
duction of the corner of towel screwed
up and twisted around. This proceeding
initiates the passage and presses down
the wax and fakes of skin upon the
membrane of the tympanum, producing
pain, Inflammation and deafness. The
washing should only extend to the outer
surface, as far as the fingers can reach.

The Garden OF the Gods.

Passing through the majestic gate
way of the Garden of the Gods in Colo
RADIO, says writer, you find yourself in
the weirdest of places; your red road
winds along over red grounds thinly
grass grown, among low cedars, pines
and frs, and through wild confusion of
red rocks; rocks OF every conceivable
and inconceivable shape and size, from
pebbles up to gigantic powders, from
queer, grotesque little monstrosities,
looking like seals, fishes, cats, or masks,
up to colossal monstrosities looking like
elephants, like huge gargoyles, like
giants, like sphinxes eighty feet high,
all bright red, all motionless and silent,
with strange look of having been Just
stopped and held back in the very eli
max of some supernatural catastrophe.
The stiffness, the absence of living
things, the prepolderance of grotesque
shapes, the expression of arrested action,
give to the whole place, in spite of its
glory of coloring, spite of the grandeur
of its vistas ending in snow-covered
peaks only six miles away, spite of its
friendly and familiar cedars and pines,
spite of an occasional fragrance of
clematis or smile of daisy or twitter of
a sparrow, spite of oil these, a certain
uncannyness of atmosphere which is at
first oppressive. doubt if any one
ever loved the Garden of the Gods at
first sight. One must feel his way to its
beauty and rareness, must learn it like
a new language; even if one has known
natures tongues well, he will be help
less foreigner here. have fancied that
its speech was to the speech of ordinary
nature what the Romany is among the
dialects of the civilized. fierce, wild, free,
defantly tender; and I believe no son
of the Romany folk has ever lived long
among the worlds people without droop-
ing and pining. fV a.

A Fire Bug.

George H. Forward, farm hand at
Hadley Falls, Mass, has surrendered
himself to the sheriff, and asked to be
kept from incendiarism. He burned
Henry Strong's house and barn about q
fortnight ago. He says he arose in the
night, took his lantern to go and feed
the stock, when the impulse came on
him that there must be fire, and that
he must set it. This impulse had such
influence on him that he could not resist
it. His first feeling was to set his own
barn on fire, but then the idea seized up
on him to go to Mr.. Strong's. With his
lantern he went up across the lot to the
rear of Mr.. Strong's barn, and kindled
the hay between the cracks in the
boards, and then ran rapidly home.
Seeing his work was effectual, he was
the earliest to give thu alarm. When he
saw the buildings blazing he would have
given anything to undo his work. He
has attempted to destroy himself since,
but could not. The strange story of
Forward is probably correct. as persons
living across the river on the heights
above say that they saw the light of a
lantern moving in field.

Resigned his Country.

Sam Lee, the Chinaman who is in jail
at Eureka, awaiting the action of the
grand jury upon charge of house-break
ing, is hugely disgusted with his country
men, who appear to have deserted him
in the dark hour of his misfortunes. He
repeatedly sent for his Celestial friends,
but none of them responded to his call
and few days ago, while brooding owe,
the ingratitude of his Celestial brethren
in moment of desperation he seized 3
butcher-knife and severed his cue close
to the scalp, and as he handed the dis
membered braid to the sheriff, he ex
claimed "Cuss Chinamar. Me al
same now Mclean man."

WHAT IS LBEL.-In a suit of Repre-
sentative Kasson, of Iowa, against the
State Register, for libel, the court, in
instructing the jury, held that the pub
lication being by a newspaper in the

didate, was privileged that an elector
had a right to acquaint his fellow-elec-
tors with anything which he knew, or
had reason to believe, to be true con-

Behaved Well.

A resident who reached Detroit by a
noon train, the Free Press says, after
an absence of two weeks, was met at
the depot by his eight-year-old son, who
loudly welcomed him.
"And is everybody well, Williea"
asked the father.
"The wellest kind" replied the boy.
"And nothing has happened ?"
Nothing at all. I've been good,
Jennie's been good, and 1 never saw ma
behave herself SO we'll as she has this

Kitty's Christmas E"e.


Christmas is really coming,
And Santa Claus ont tonight
Even the winds are happy,
Tossing the flakes 30 white,
or the beautiful, beautiful snow storm
Come qnick to the window and see
] know you are only dolly,
But then you can look with me.
And we'll wonder if, up in heaven,
The angels have stockings to fill,
And whether good Santa Claus fills them,
As they lie, in their cribs'so still.
Do you think they use clouds for their pillows,
And, instead Of a candle, star2
am sure would like to go up there,
If it wasn't so very far!
But papa and mamma would be lonely,
And Carlo and Pussy, and you
o, you dear, darling dolly, Icouldn't!
You're love in your mantle 80 new;
But then, you must take it off now, dear,
And lie in your snug little bed;
L will slip off your pretty silk stockings,
And hang them right here at your head
Then I'll go to the chimney corner,
And cali mp to Santa Claus there,
To bring YOU a muff, and bonnet,
And a ribbon to tie in your hair,

' So sleep, sleep, sleep, little dolly
Santa Claus alvrays is kind
Sleep sleep, sleep, little dolly,

Sleep, sleep, sleep, little dolly,
Sleep till the black hours break

and never, till morning, wake"
There I've pulled the wire of her eyelids,
And dolly is fast asleep
Wher Santa Claus comes in the nighttime
SIZE won't even get peep;
Bu there isn't a spring to my own eyes,
Nor wire FOR mamma to pull,
Nor bit Of need for my sleeping
For tomorrow is no more school.
So III jump into bed, ard cover
My eyes which are wide awake
And when Santa Clans comes down the chimney
look at his things I'll take;
And then if his face is gentle,
And the way is all clear and right,
I'll steal while he isn't thinking,
And kiss him with all my might
But haven't yet prayed to the Savior,
To ask him "my soul to keep
Yes, I'll pray but, instead of 81 lay me-"
Please don't let me go to Sleep
For want to see Kriss with his candies,
And his pack that is full to the brim;
And I'm sure that my prayer will be answered
So I'll sing him my new Christmas hymn.
I'll sing it over and over,
To fill up the long, long time
Till hear the tramp of the reindeer,
And the bells with their merry chime.
Oh, how could l ever sleep through it,
And only of Santa Claus dream
But I'm tired, 80 III just begin it,
That dear little Christmas hymn.

With beautiful Christmas tree,
Has come to the earth from heaven,
And the gifts Of His love are free
To the poorest child in the kingdom
To you, little stranger, and me.
"Jesus, the blessed Child king,
Holds flowers in His loving hand,
And the fragrance is scattered around
Him,
All over the widespread land
His service is sweet and easy,
To love is His own command.

Has stars in His tree, to light
The way of the little pilgrims
To heaven -
Is Kriss in sight?
But no, am OILY dreaming;

CAMP MEETING. The Washingtn Grove
Camp Meeting Association began its annual
encampment on the 4th instant, and Judging
from the appearance presented on Sunday last,
we have no doubt that, notwithstanding the
unpropitious weather that we have had for the
past week or so, there will be an unusually
large attendance. We are confident that this
meeting which has been looked forward TO
with great deal OF pleasure by all our folks,
VIII be instrumental in turning numerous sim
ners from the errors of their ways, and pro-
motive OF great good generally. The only
fault which our county people have with the
arrangements made this year, is the inaccesi-
billy to the tenting grounds with their car
ringes on account OF the post and rail fence
erected around the grounds, by those entrusted
with the fitting up things, which, of course,
makes it very inconvenient for those who visit
to spend day in the grove, and who expect
to use their carriages as rendezvous. But as
all evils have advantages as well disadyan-
tages, this very enclosure will make the
grounds excellent for promenading by persons
from the city.
