the DELICIOUS sensation of getting up
without any lessons to puzzle our
brains, and many are thinking of the
good times they will have during the
vacation which will begin next We'd
nesday morning, and continue until
January 6, 1885. The writing OF these
figures compels US to pause and look
back into the past and wonder what
the future may have in stcre for US.
May fate treat US kindly.

THE OUTLOOK.

The predictions ofrepublicans that
the success ofthe democracy would be
followed by period Of depression
seems in a fair way toward fuldllment.
The attempted legislation on the tariff
question last winter, while it failed in
its object, was not without its legiti-
mate fruits. Had the republicans sue
ceed in November 1t would have been
a guarantee to the commercial and
industrial interests of the whole coun-
try that further, or adverse agitation
would notbe countenanced, and on that
certainty we believe there would have
been an immediate and wide spread
revival. But the result was otherwise,
and we must bear the consequences.
We do not for moment suppose, in
view of his recent reported utterances,
that Mr.. Cleveland would Intentionally
favor any line of policy that would be
detrimental to either the commercial
or industrial interests OF the country
or that he would side with that ultra
free trade wing ofhis party which find!

The lecture of Prof. E. A. Allen, of
Central College, before the students of
the Normal, last Friday morning, was
a scholarly production. Had it bsen
delivered before an advanced class IN

better appreciated and understood,
The lecture is not suitable for gen.

second lecture. which occurred Friday
evening in the chapel. on "a Forgotten
Southern Poet was highly appreclat-
ed by those who heard it. We were
unable to be present. These lectures
are valuable aids in culture, not so
much by what they impart in the way
of information, as for the mental stim-
ulus, and the spur they may give to
individual investigation and effort on
the part of the hearer Prof. Allen,
like many other lecturers from the
Normal rostrum, failed to make him
self distinctly heard, and some of his
finest sentences and quotations in the
morning lecturer were spoiled by this
defect in delivery.
