At the same college, billiards, card-playing of any kind, and smoking are either strictly prohibited, or their practice must be carried on with secrecy. Not content with these stringent rules for protecting the virtue of the "men" under their charge, the Faculty have forbidden students going to the neighboring town without giving a satisfactory reason, and obtaining permission to do so.

SCENE NO. 2: Death of Lord Nelsing. - On the right you vill notice a French ship a blowin' up, vith the materials on board a goin' con-trary to the laws of the attraction of gratification, and a goin' up instead of a comin' down...
