...there is no redress for those who employ janitors. It is not at all likely that the Bursar will sympathize with any complaints, and the complainant will thus be placed in an absurd and mortifying position. Whether a man who has held a position in a reformatory institution is well calculated to look after the interests and comfort of gentlemen remains to be seen. If it was this zeal for our interests which induced the Bursar to select such an individual for one of his appointments, he will doubtless be able to find many ex-officials of lunatic asylums, state...

BOSTON MUSEUM. - "The Humbugs," which was produced at this house on Monday evening, is a clever adaptation by Mr. B. E. Woolf of a French comedy called "Les Faux Bonshommes." The piece is amusing and bright, and is well acted by the Museum company. Mr. Warren comes first with his impersonation of Peponet, a rich old man with two daughters, whom he wishes to marry as advantageously as possible. The plot of the piece turns on the complications which arise with their suitors. Mr. Barron fills the part of Edgard satisfactorily, and Mr. Wilson, as Bassecourt, is excellent. Saturday night...
