...ATLANTIC MONTHLY.-The opening chapters of three serial stories' Charles Egbert Craddock's "Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains," Sarah Orne Jewett's "A March Island," and Mrs. Oliphant's "A Country Gentleman," render the Atlantic for January a remarkable number. Oliver Wendell Holmes begins a series of papers (to be continued throughout the year) entitled "A New Portfolio," and the first number is full of the old time charm, wit, pathos, and other delightful qualities of the genial Autocrat. Articles of literary interest are a thoughtful study of "Childhood in Greek and Roman Literature," by Horace E. Scudder...
...York paper, an authority on the subject, said well when it advocated the abolition of the objectionable rules in these words: "Why this boyish rule is maintained is a mystery.

But the new system, that of having the men sign their names on slips of paper at each recitation, is certainly a relief to the instructors and, we may well suppose, not at all disagreeable to the monitors...
...three cases have come to our notice lately, where unscrupulous persons, taking advantage of the kindness of the CRIMSON in publishing "lost and found" notices without charge, have played practical jokes upon their friends by inserting bogus notices of that nature in the paper. Attracting public attention by such means is disagreeable to some one, to say the least, and it is not our intention to be a medium for such jokes. The rule of the paper has always been to accept nothing without a signature, though sometimes short notices without one have been inserted. Hereafter the rule will...
