GERMAN STUDENTS.



The students who have been revel-
ing in the contents of the great tun at
Heidelberg of late have been made
sober again, as well as indignant, by
am effort made by Prof. Schneider to
restrict their liberty. At present the
German student is absolutely master of
his time. He is indeed Obliged to put
down his name for a certain number of
lecture courses every term or pay for
them, but the matter of attendance is
left entirely TO his own discretion. Ths'
consequence is that professors freGH1nt-
ly lecture before empty boxes" though
they have large number of students
on their lists who prefer to waste their
time in beer gardens and defer study
till few weeks before examination.
Students are obliged TO get the profess
sor's signature in their books both at
the beginning and the end of the term,
and Prof. Schneider says it has re-
peatedly happened to him that applica-
tion for these final signatures was made
to him by students who took him for
another professor-a statement which
seems to establish the probability of the
story of the man who visited his son at
the university and took drive through
town. Passing a large building the
father asked what that was. The son
did not know and appealed to the cab
man. That" was the reply, ''is the

MADAM MARTHA E. sTEEN.
a Good Performance at the Opera House
Sunday Night.

The audience at the Opera house last
Sunday evening, though smsll9was a very
appreciative one. The tricks, as they
may be called, as the performers claim no
supernatural assistance. were splendid and
were executed in such a manner as to
make detection impossible, although there
was L committee of eightofou prominent
citizens upon the stage. The day, month,
and year of birth Of the whole committee
were told by Mrs. Stecn, while blind
folded and sitting with her race toward
the audience. This, with other seemingly
impossible tricks. was sufficient to- bring
forth rounds of applause from the spec
tators.
The entertainment concluded with an
exhibition by Chas. Geyer, the renowned
contortionist, and extensively known as
the Human Serpent" Thelscts of this
young and clever artist were marvellous in
the extreme and called forth. rounds Of
richly deserved applause. As nosimusic
could be procured. some of Mr.. Geyer's
most difficult tricks were omitted. Several
were heard, to remark that this feature of
the show was alone worth the price of
admission.
The company may be assured Of .
packed house on their next visit to this
city.
