NEWSY NOTES.


"boundless West" wrote home from a

indeed wonderful country. Svery ham
let is a town, every town city, every farm
a ranch, every farmyard a corral, every
mound a mountain and every man liar"
Including the original number and the
recruits that were added to the regiment
from time to time, the Bucktails numUer-
ed about two thousand men. or these
less than three hundred are now living,
and they are scattered in twenty eight of
the forty-two States of the Union. Last
year eleven passed to the other shore, and
in few moro years they will live only in
history.
Every watch is compass and here is
how to work it: Point the hour hand to
the sun, and the south is exactly half way
between the hour and figure MI oo the
watch. For instance, suppose it to be
o'clock. Point tine hand indicating to
the sun, and ii of the watch is exactly
south. Suppose that it is 8 o'clock, point
the hand indicating to the sun, and the
figure Y on the watch is due south.
The Washington Post says the cards Of
invitation to the latest fashionable wedding
in that city bore the surprising words "No
presents" Such symptoms of survival Of

ents is worse.-Ecchdnge.
An exchange says: "How dear to this
heart is the yellow pumpkin, when or
chards are barren for stufIing for pies (;
when peaches and apples have both been
failure, and berries of no kind have
greeted the eyes how fondly we turn to
the fruit of the corn field-Tho fruit that
our children are taught to despise-The
old yellow pumpkin, the. mudi covered
pumpkin, the hiG-bellied pumpkin that
makes such good piesr'
"a Holiday Number" one may well
call the December Peterson. 1t is the
handsomest number we have ever seen OF
this excellent magazine-a hint of what
may be expected for 1891, which will be its
! fiftieth anniversary. The "Cupid" on the
title-page is an enchanting little fellow,
and the s;eel and full-page wood-engrav-
inGs are very beautiful. Terms $500 a
year. Address Petersons Magazine, 300

The students at Ann Arbor, Michigan
