...second paper of "Reflections after a Wandering Life in Australasia" which is fully as thoughtful and interesting as the first. The rest of the number is full of interest. The serials are "The Tragic Muse" and "The Begum's Daughter." The latter is a story of the socalled Dutch rebellion in New York in 1690, and promises to be very good. The other articles are "The Highest Structure in the World," a description of the great Eiffel tower in Paris, by William A. Eddy, "Bonny Hugh of Ironbrook," by Edith Brown: "A World of Roses," a beautiful little poem...
...Peasant Rebellion" is a brief sketch of an incident of the serf insurrection of 1525, by Mr. Prescott F. Hall. The description is delicately and pathetically written. There is no poetry in the number. It is completed by the usual Brief, which has at last come down nearly to date...

How the honorable Democrats found out so conclusively that old Harvard men from 1636 to the present era would have voted for Cleveland and Tariff Reform can be referred to the same source that inspired the assertions of Friday night...
...that, under the new conditions, Yale would condescend to play with Harvard at all, while to be shut up to the minor New England colleges would be intolerable to Harvard. The Overseers are therefore accused of seeking indirectly the end which they affect to repudiate. The CRIMSON hints at rebellion; but most significant is its remark that "such a radical change in the whole athletic system would, we firmly believe, put the axe to the roots of our social system as well." No observer of the relation between "society," wealth, and extravagance and athletics at Harvard can doubt the truth...
