...Passing Regiment.The Passing Regiment" was very well given by the Museum Company last evening. Miss Sheridan was exceedingly good in her rather difficult part of the Russian heiress. Mr. Wilson was very good and Mr. Pitt made an excellent idiot. The cast on the whole is excellent and the play deserves large audiences...
...half ounces. Similar experiments showed that the average weight of the female brain was forty-four ounces. In proportion to the size of the body a woman's brain is very nearly as heavy as a man's. Weight has nothing to do with brain power, for many an idiot has been proven to have as large a brain as that of some of the great intellects of history.

Poor fellow, we really pity you! The unlucky author of "Specimen Bricks" next claims his attention: "We cannot say the idiot who is responsible for the above is a brick. This article may occasionally be found embedded in his cranial protector, - that is, if there be any cranium requiring protection." It is fortunate that Harvard is so distant from Niagara, or we really should fear personal violence from this would...
