The college football season, so far as the post
graduate public is concerned, was formally
opened yesterday by games between Princeton
and Wesleyan University at the Polo Grounds
in this city, and Yale and Rutgers in Washing
ton Park, Brooklyn. The game at the Polo
Grounds was played under the new American
college rules, and Princeton made twenty -four
points to Wcslcyan's none In Brooklyn the
old Rugby rules were followed. These give
great advantage to mere brute force The
Yale students scored fifteen goals while Rut
gers was left behind with nothing,
The tornado which caused 50 much damage
on Monday afternoon around Springfield, Mo-,
was not only terrible disaster, but an untimely
one. 1t is rare that such an atmospheric disturb
ance happens so late in the fall. Experience
shows that violent windstOrms are to be conf
IDENTIFY expected in the Mississippi Valley from
June until September; but by November all
danger is supposed to be past. The present
year, however, has been somewhat remarkable
so far as tornadOes are concerned. They began
early in the spring and seemed to come in pairs,
spreading destruction over much greater areas
than usual. This November storm therefore
may be regarded as finishing a noteworthy
record.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts de-
Soted yesterday to tanning human hide.
General Butler became aware of that fact
when he came TO survey his own personal
hide last evening by the fierce white light that
beat upon il from the ballOt-bOx. 1t is hardly
possible that his constitution will ever thor
oughly recover from the effect of this drastic
treatment of his private cuticle, although it is
well understood that he possesses wonderful
recuperative powers. In any event. this morn
ing finds him feeling so awfully sore from head
to foot that he certainly will not be able to do
any running for some time to cOme-nOt in
1884, for instance. The fact that she is well
rid of this monumental demagogue will give
the Bay State another solid reason for thanks
giving when she comes formally to recount the
mercies of the year on the last Thursday of this
month. The chief characteristics of Buffers
administration were brag, brass and buster.
The last Democratic Governor OF Massachu-
setts before Butler was Mr. CASTOR, In 1874.
