Is Harvard to continue year by year to lose her grip on this most vital section of the country, and to become a provincial college with provincial short-comings? Without casting slurs upon Massachusetts, I am free to say that it is the West that Harvard should look for new material in each new class; and yet the West, with a vastly larger population than in 1894, has diminished representation by nearly 1 1-2 per cent...

So perfect was the unanimity and solidity of the people, that within a hundred days from the election of Lincoln they were seated...

Pontbicket is especially delighted over Dardard's plan for importing gloves to England, free of duty. All the left hand gloves are sent to England, all the rights to Scotland.--Refuse to pay duty at both places; the gloves are sold at auction as odd pairs for a mere tri collect the odd pairs, put them together and sell them.--This is too much...
