S., left last Wednesday for a three months’ trip in Europe. He will visit his old home in Bavaria, tour Italy, ramble in Bcenic Switzerland, sthdy Industrial conditions in Germany, take a brief look at France and Spain, visit England and Ireland before his return in September. While abroad he will add his little mite to give to those people correct notions about American conditions, and he will return prepared to tell us of European affairs in grand comparisons with our own, all of which makes for a better understanding between the nations and for the larger brotherhood of mankind.

The Minstrel Show last Sunday night was a grand series of unadulterated successes. All the participants acted their parts acceptably from the solemn interlocutor down the lines, to the end coons who at times were a little overstrained in their frivolities. The chorus of the first part was, no doubt, the best selection. It was a medley of sixteen songs and compositions taken from many nations and embodying many varied sentiments from the very comic to the sedately sad. The music was well played, and the singing also, abstracting from an overhurry at times, was very creditable. L. Dufrane and C. Staib as soloists called forth the greatest applause. .. _ The three orations, rather monologues, in the second part, were comichumorous mosaics and captivating. W. Reineck, the fresh college lad, discoursed of foot ball and saw everything through red glasses; R. Carmody, the Irish “rest king,” scattered genuine blarney to the diverging cardinal points; C. O’Leary, as the whole-souled, undisturbable Yankee, gave a disquisition on vaudeville, every word of which was tinged with the color of the fields and the woods. There was no mistake in the work of any of these three. \ The farce in the third part was weak, but the impersonators made the best of it. The precisely rendered finale, "Good Night,” by the chorus, sent home a perfectly satisfied audience, and only one wish ascended from the smiling lips of every one to the pale stars, that the R. J. S. C. may favor the students with many more of these laughter-burdened hours.
