rowNsEND ESSAYS.

The Second Greatest Literary Honor
 at Yale-The Fortunate Six Who
 Have Won the Townsend Prizes.
 In every senior class at Yale, as we'll as in every other class, there is premium on lit erary ability. In senior year there are of fered six Townsend premiums of $12 each for the best essays. To win one of these pre- miums is next to the greatest literary honor that can be acquired in college. The six for tunate men who win the Townsends have to learn their pieces and declaim them before all who may wish to hear in the Batten chapel in contest for the DeForest prize medal, valued at S100. The one who wins the DeForest wins the highest literary honor that can be gained during the four years course. In '85 there was an unusually large number of essays written for the Townsends. Of the twenty-four that were handed in the fortunate six, with their subjects, are as fol- lows: Henry DeForest Baldwin, New York city, s"The Solid South" John Cloyse Bridgman, Cleveland O., Charitable Insti- tutions;'' Wilbur Lucius Cross, Gurleyville, "Sainte Beuve;" Guy Ward Mallon, Cincin- natl, O., Charitable Institutions" Eugene Lamb Richards, New Haven, N'The Future of the House of Lords;" Lueius Franklin Robinson, Hartford, ''The Future of the House of Lords."
 The DeForest prize speaking will take place in the Battel chapel on the Thursday afternoon preceding commencement.

Ananias Abroad.

Ananias lived hundreds of years ago, and still lives; the same old customer, he takes on many shapes, but we suspect he is as often found in bottles with full directions for using printed on the label as in any other form. Sick people can i'll afford to take chances. Prominent physicians say, over their own signatures, that Lewis Red Jacket Bitters are pure, and are capital in malaria.
