...concert at Wellesley College. Last Monday evening was the time fixed for the entertainment, and in accordance with the arrangements of the managers, the members of the orchestra left Cambridge in a barge at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon. The air was cold and bracing and a pleasant ride was anticipated; but before they reached their destination most of the men were numb with the cold and were thinking with pleasure of the bot little spread that would surely be ready for them when they got to Wellesley. The college was reached shortly after seven o'clock...
...Advocate appeared yesterday afternoon, and contains much good reading matter. The editorials are bright and forcible as usual. "A Mexican Village" is a fair bit of description of the placid life in the growing state of our neighbors. "John Bryant's Ride" is an unusually well written story. In a few lines a situation is very forcibly drawn. There is not a sentence nor a word too much; the movement of the story shows great vigor. "An Automaton" is a very remarkable study and deserves a careful perusal and thoughtful consideration. It is with no mean descriptive talent that...
...very welcome one. "The Curse of an Imagination" is a very lively sketch, and gives signs of quite a good deal of study of human nature. Particularly good is the description of the way in which a man's thoughts "begin to revolve around themselves" in a ride to Boston.

"Ma Contemporaine," a translation from Beranger, is not well done. It lacks entirely the grace of the original. Following this there is a well-written...

He has, perhaps, no knack for games; the weights and bars are to him as cheerful as a treadmill; he can not afford a horse, even if he knew how to ride. To him a walk is about all there is left. It is cruelty to compel him to do work which he loathes, and he is likely to get little encouragement to learn games that he does not know. On the other hand there are those to whom proficiency in games...
...LONDON, June 19. - The two crews after a three-hour ride arrived at New London at three o'clock, Saturday. There they found the craft named "Cecile," a mixture of boat, steamer and ruin, waiting to carry them five miles up river to the quarters. The three large shells and numerous small ones were hastily put aboard the boat and all was ready in an hour, when it was advised that the baggage be also put aboard. On examination it was found that the trunks and valises had all gone across the river on the ferry, and so the "Cecile...
