mentioned some time ago as having carried
off on his shoulders large limb OF Boston's
historic elm, has since that event been beset
by relic seekers, whom in his newspaper,
the Golden Rule, he admonishes thus: "lst,'
that he wishes to use all the wood himself;
%, that he has given it all away; and 81
that he never got piece of the old elm,
that he was out of town when the elm fell
that the tree is still standing, and besides
this he has had the relic sawed into wooden
mallets, with which he will brain every
body who attempts to ascend the office stairs
for any other purpose than subscribing io'

OUR UNIVERSITY LETTER.

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 90, 1876.
DEAR JoURNAL-rhis week has been
we'll spent by the students. Prof. Tripp
has visited Us, and delivered a series
of six
LECTURES,
embracing that period IN French His
tory from the Revolution of 48 until
the close of the Franco Prussian war.
It was a rare treat to US students. He
lec;ur well, and doubtless much good
will result from his excellent and in
ttreStiug discOurses. It would greatly
improve the students if we We're
oftener visited by real good lecturers.
It wopld open to us a new field OF ia
Dor; it would show us how ignorant
we are of some things, and how much
we have yet to learn, therefore causing
those who wish to learn, to see for
themselves, whether or not what they
hear at these lectures be true. In this
manner those desirous of bettv1ing
themselves would avail themselves OF
the opportunity thus presented, and
devote their moments Of leisure to ac-
quiring a knowledge of facts as pre-
sented in history. The students
seemed to be much pleased with Prof.
Trips lectures, and to nl0ny they
were as beneficial as interesting.
There is another thing which may,
perhaps, interest the readers of the
JOURNAL, and especially those who
have the University at heart.
HOW TINE IS SPENT.
The students are Ue1y 12ur1ctatal. At
six q clock a. M. the ''risiugbelt" rings,
at which time we rise, dress for break
| fast. which is at seven O'Clock, and
soon after that meal we are called to
the chat ell, acherc prayers are oGered
n,ad Il chaEter Jrou. the bite is read
! At aIgAt O'Clock recit"tiCns Commence
| aud continue until one. Then dinner;
and from two until four We have
''study honrs.' From four unit ha'--
past five, which latter hour Is supper
time, is given US for recreation and the
enioyments of out door sports. At
night of course we study. Both the
Dialetic and Phiianthropic Societies
hold their meetings Friday night and
Saturday morning. All the students
are members of either one or the other
of these societies. The time given for
stndyipg is to allow those who wish to
engage in this most important part OF
college life. an opportunity for 80 do
ing, as all the students are required to
remain quiet in their rooms, whether
or not they wish to study. The study
ing part is not compulsory, but Is alto
I gether optional. Yet l am happy te
say, that although not. compulsory, n
is nevertheless performed by greater
part of the students.
