...French railways. My only companion in the carriage was a fine-looking middle-aged man, who had all the appearance not only of a gentleman, but of an aristocrat, and who, after learning that I was an Englishman, conversed most fluently and delightfully in my own tongue during the whole of our long ride. Just before arriving he handed me his card, and said that he should call on me the next day and see if there was any thing he could do for me. His card read thus: Dr. De Beauville, Practising Physician, 14 Rue Berry...
...handsome; let me confess so much at the outset: but I have been called pretty. Young Harry Thornberg, - who is married now; I never could endure him, though people said I hadn't the ghost of a chance, which, I take it, means the whole body of one, - he once remarked, when some one rallied him on his attachment for me, "A pretty wife she'd make!"

...first annual field meeting of the Brookline Athletic Club took place on their grounds at Cypress Street, Brookline, last Saturday, and proved, on the whole, successful. The management, however, was at times inefficient.

The instructor in Greek 3, however, especially encouraged men to take the course again, and so finish reading Herodotus. The course has been shown to be perhaps the most profitable Greek course for the majority of men, - those who wish to attain facility...
...judging our chances in future games. The game was called at half-past three, with Mr. F. E. Cabot, '80, umpire for Harvard, Mr. McGibbon umpire for Britannia, and Mr. Cushing, '79, referee. Harvard won the toss and took the wind, giving Britannia the kick-off. During the whole first three-quarters the ball was kept close upon Britannia's goal, and they were forced to touch back for safety several times. Within a few minutes from the beginning of play, Smith kicked a goal from the field; and again, before the end of the first three-quarters, he kicked...
