...exerted his earnest efforts to reproduce natural objects. But the amusing feature in Behau's Melancholy is the figure itself. For Durer's powerful presence, longing for she knows not what, we have a fat woman nearly asleep, who looks as if she had been emptied into her present position and could not wake up to move a muscle...
...steamers on all the lines rarely sail without a full complement of passengers, including America's best and most respected citizens. Such is the regularity of our steamship communication with Europe that the formerly much-dreaded dangers of the sea are almost overlooked, till some such accident as the present warns us of the dreadful chance that still remains, after all human precautions are taken.

But the news of one college is well known to its undergraduates before it can get into the college papers; and thus "Locals" and "Brevities" are generally only a convenient method of preserving in print for future reference facts of interest. Of what is going on at other colleges most of us are in the dark. Our exchanges furnish us with an occasional ray of light on the subject, but these are not seen...
