AN OBJECT OF CoNTEMPT.-There was a
very irascible old gentleman who formerly
held the position of Associate Judge in one
of our interior county seats. Going down
main street one day, one of the young law
yers spoke to him, without coming up to his
honor's idea of Difference. "Young man, |
fine you five dollars for contempt of court" "
"Why, judge" said the offender, "you are
not in session." "This court" responded the
Judge, thoroughly irritated, "is always in ses.
sion, and consequently always an object OF
contempt"

AT THE BARBER's.-"Nextp shouted a
barber, who had just finished customer.
Two persons at once sprang from the seats
where they had been patiently awaiting,
and approached the knig ght of the lather, and
both looking ferociously and inquiringly at
each other. One of them was an elderly
parsonage, evidently from the country; the
other young sprig of city breed, whose
down had just begun to indicate the slow and
uncertain approach of beard.
(Which of you is next2" asked the barber.
81 am" said the young man.
''No, you are not. We both entered at the
same time and, as I am the oldest, claim
the first chance. Besides, I am in a great
hurry"
"Ah, old party, Isee you are from the coun-
try, and of course do not know the rules of
city society governing such cases as this"
said the youth.
"What is the rule?"
'Simply this Beauty goes before age-so

30, we'll, that's right. Mr.. Barber, shave
him first. He has got the best of me by that
city rule of his; and come to think of it, he is
right according to the rule where I come
from."-
"Indeed What is the rule where you
come from, old party ?" asked the young fel-
low, as he fixed himself comfortably in the
BARRIERS chair.
"Wall, young man, the rule up my way is,
that we always keep the hogs ahead of US. So
you can 60 ahead, barber it's all right" said
he, taking up paper and sitting down to

noon OF evening. About niue hundred
persons availed themselves of the oppor.
tunity, but the great mass seemed dis.
posed to take their chance. As it is
probable that the attendance this even.
ing will be very large, we advise families
to 20 in the afternoon.
Everybody seems bound to see all that
is to be seen in this great establishment,
and those who take time by the forelock
and give up part of the afternoon to the
great show, will find it to their advantage.
Of the menagerie, it is enough to say that
the claims Of this great concern have been
before the public for several weeks that
it is in all respects what it has been repre-.
scented to be. The collection of animals
and birds is unusually good the Alaska
Sea Lion is veritable wonder. He can
be seen at San Francisco in all his glory,
but everybody has not the time to 20 so
far, or to the further Alaska to see the
sea lion Of the Pacific, and so the pro-
prietors have bought them one, and show
the public how he conducts himself in his
native haunts.
"But the most interesting feature Of
this Great Show and that excited the curl.
osity Of the vast throng, was that marvel
of mechanical ingenuity, the wonderful
steam man. The most intricate and mar.
velous piece of mechanism in the world.
"The arenic department is simply com
plete, and mediocre talent is conscientious
ly barred out of the rings. Miss Minnie
Marks, Mile Rosina Cook, and MILE
Adeline Rosalina, are oil graceful ant
brilliant in their equestrlanism. Van

The whole number Of graduates in the
Academical Department is $50, Of whom

presidents. The list of professors" does
not include principals Of normal schools,

whole number still living, so far as known,
is SIS, of whom 203 are in the practice
of law, and 1873 are in the Christian
ministry.
OF the classes from 1904 there are no
living representatives the same is true
of tho classes of 1911, 1914, 1919, 1928,

number but Is are known to have died.
BY the way, the statement in the
papers, that the medical class sent out
this year was the largest which ever left
the institution, may be corrected by a
glance at the catalogue, which shows q
class Of 81 in 1862; one of 80, in 1865
and one of SO, in 1866.
The roll of honorary graduates carries
BAL names, Of which l27 have the aster.

An appendix gives the names and posi-.

sThe importance of art educa.
