but the riding on the river by moonlight,
that was SO nice. | noticed the different
styles of rowing. Mr.. Halleck seemed to
understand pulling at an oar. He did as
| the sailors say, caught number OF crabs,
but taken together they were the most
awkward set of hand lubbcrs l ever saw
try to row (you see understand nautical
terms) but they had as much fun as they
| would il they could rec: sail in the most
approved style. 1 noticed a young man
that had young lady to row for him.
He was having n Joy time OF 1t.
We noticed another get into boat and
| start out in good style, but upon finding
that the boat was drawing SO much water
about all he did was to sit up and look at
the young lady. About the only way 10
account for it was that he was New. All
seemed to enjoy themselves and while they
were not in tears noticed the Tears were
| always with them, but il they got into
/ trouble they always had the Friends TO
console them, bet on the whole they had
splendid time. Although at one time il
seemed:as though our joy was to be turned
to sorrow for two OF the young ladies more
daring than cauti us undertook the man
agement of one OF the boats without the
sistance Of some meek young man to assist
them. But no. they are Of the strong-mind-
ed kind, 20 away they sailed with every
thing favorable for prosperous voyage.
when one OF the .ailoresscs lis that right:l
by fal-e movement in changing positions
with her mate, fell Well, they simply got
a good hacking. That's all there was to it.
The members of the institute living in
Wichita furnished bountiful supper for

the country jakes return sincere thanks.
In constitution this morning the question
of the subcrdination of the state to the
United States and the oath Of office were
described. Messrs. Graham, Holmes, New
and Nansenden gave the prohibition on the
states. They cannot impose duties, coin
money, cannot pass laws impairing con-
tracts. Letters Of marque aud reprisal was
explained and some other information by
the Misses Cox, Cumming and Mclaughlin.
The class in physiology finished up the
question OF digestion and the subject o: the
five senses was discussed. Touch, taste.
seeing, hearing aud tasting were discussed
at some time by the Misses McNabb,
Gibson and Miss Daughterty. Some die
QUESTION was INDUCED in by Messrs. Law |
renee, New. and some Others as TO which |
were the intellectual and which the cor |
poral senses. The point was most too fine |
for \ general discussion.
Arithmetic was next in order. Percent |
age was finished and interest was defined |
aud terms used. There was also quite
discussion as to what is money. Mr.. /

given the previous day: If q man sells -
drills for Sl00 each and on - Of them he
makes 10 per cent, and on the other IL be
loses 10 per cent; does he gain or lose, aud
how much. 1t was not given as difficult
problem. but - one to illustrate prin ciple
which was done.
wenow adjourned to Mr.. Halleekss room,
where Chancellor Livingston WAS intro
duced to US. and for about three-quarters
of an hour be gave US some good ideas in
regard TO the object Of teaching and the
ideas OF the present day. His address was
the most sensible we have bad for long
time. 1t is sp; to be the case that the pro-
lessor. give US some grand ideas, and few
long words that do not have any bearing on
our business at all.
