...quite as much taken up with the alluring frivolities of the metropolis as with moralizing on the sterner problems of life which underlie them. During the holidays New York presents the gayest phase of American life. It is becoming more and more Parisian every day, both in appearance and manner of life. As a consequence, it is adapted, as no other city in the States is, to the requirements of a loafing public. By loafing we would not be understood to mean the vulgar street-corner and bar-room form of this refined enjoyment, but the graceful and elegant passing...
...After the return of a scientific expedition to Brazil he was called upon by Martius to assist in compiling for publication the discoveries relating to fishes, and to write the descriptions for the plates which this work contains.

Such a paper we welcome under the name of the Acta Columbiana, formerly the Cap and Gown, of Columbia College, N. Y. City. In consequence of a coalition in the editorial department between the academies and the School of Mines, the paper...
...gladly promise our aid, and hope to present to our readers in every number a few notes of what is going on in the department of base-ball, foot-ball, and boating, or other interesting events, at Cornell, at least. In time we may hear, in the same manner, from other colleges. As this plan has but just been formed, its success is doubtful; but if it succeeds, it can not but be beneficial to all the college papers engaging...
