He secured the plays that Sara Bernhardt presented in Detroit, and on Saturday evening carefully analyzed and translated "Camille," while Monday even ing was devoted to " Frou Frou." The plot was developed and the selccted üanstatinus were all (ïiven in the usual happy style of the professor, and much of our enjoyment in witnessiiig the play was dut to lus kindness.

Many of them pay no attention whatever to pedeetrÜUM, and are as apt to run over a little child as a man. This practico of driving rapiilHthrough our erowded streets M daneerous, and contrary to law be-ides. lVdostrians have the right of way in this state, but as the above tem indícales, it is mighty hard getting it sonietimes. Many people of our city will be paiued to team of the death of Ogdeu W. Ferdon, whodied last Wednesday mornint' ut about '1 o'clock. The deceased was a son of Alderman Ferdon of the lirst ward, and had been declining in liealth for souie little linie, the physicians not being able to agree, we understand, upon tlie cause. He was a young man of more than usual promise, and held in high esteeui by tlmse who knew him. He was 26 years ol' ago, and graduatod from the university with the émm of '77. The funeral services occur today at 9 o'clock p. ni., from the M. E. church. Next Wednesday, the IGth instant, the world-renowned Edouard llemenyi is to appear once again in university hall, under the auspices of the student' lecture association. The program will be new and varied, and as he is one Ann Arbor's fiivorites there will be little doubt about his drawing a large houso. According to our poor musical judgment ltenienyi is as ('ar ahead of Wilhcliuj in theviolin busiMa, M a mocking bird is ahead of a hluo jay in bird song. Wilaelmj r;iil t.. h,,.„ out thoKe sweet, bird-like straina whieh llemenyi causes to chase each other like notes from asongster's throat. Those who heard the former last Friduy night can have an excellent opportunity of comparisg tha two by attending next Wedoeaday evening. A Leipaia journal, which inakcs ¦ ipaciality of matters ro.latinir to glass, givei a method whieh it assen. s will prevent lainpchimneys ('rom cracking, and which if true, will sav; many a ten cent pioec. The treatmont will not only render lamp ehimney, tumblers and like articles more durable, but maybe applied with advantage tocrockery, stoneware, porcelain, etc. The chimney-, tumblers, etc., are put into a pot filled with cold water, to which some couimon table sak hal bon added. The water is well boiled over a 6re, and then allowcd to oool riowry. When the articles are taken out and washed, tliey will bo found to resist altfrwanl any suddcii ehanges of tempera - ture. 1'he process is simplyone of annealng, and the slower the cooling part of il is conducted the more effective will be the. work. The Oracle, published by th sophoiuore class, has just been issued from the Coiuier prcsses, and is a publication raperior to former ones of the kind in subject matter, illustrations and letter-presg. The board of editors have carefully prepared the articles, some of whieh possess rare worth, while genuine wit and humor is nterspersed all through the work, like juicy plums in ii rieh pudding. Thfire have beon but a few hundred published, so those desiring this addition to college literature will do well to secure it before it is too late. We think that the members of the class of '83 may well feel proud of their Oracle, for it certainly reflects credit upon them. More pains has been taken with its typographic appearance and illustrations than herotofore. But we won't say anytbing more about it. Buy one and judge for yourself. The commoucouncil, at its last meeting, direeted the general rtreet oommittee to "take Kuitable measures for the reeonstiuction of bridges 1 and L' aeross the Hut on river, in the city of .'Ann Arbor. " Whioh means the bridge on the Whittnore Lake road and the one known a.s the lower town bridge. Good, sub.stantial structures should be crected immediately, too. Especially is ezpedition imperativo in reference to the lower town bridge, over which there is an immense amount of travel. In the rebuilding of these bridges those who have the work should in charge look well to the best interests of the city. There should be no dun, bridges built. What is wantod is good, Bubstantial structures that would not :iave to be replaced in s few years, or repaired every year. Give the people something durable, even if it does cost something. It will be found to be by far the cheapest in the end. If Dr. Howard Crosby thinks he can ridicule the cause of temperance by causng to be published in the New York Independent such letters as those of John Schumacher, president of the reform club of this city, in the nianner in which it apears in that paper, he will find himself greatly mistaken. The sentiments cx)ressed in that letter were sound to the core, and the writer is sound to the core. Punctuation and capitalizaron is a thing which very few people outside of a printing office understand, and we venture tn MMft that not one person in a tbousand writca letter correcdy in that respect. Had the letters been congratulatory or laudatory, the errors would not have appoared, but the compositor been given orders to set correctly. Such sentiments from such people show their feelings in the causo, and we hope the Independent and .Mr. Moderate Drinker ('rosby will keep right on giving them to the public. One by one the old nioneers of Washtenaw county are passing away. Soon none will be left to teil the tale of the carly settlenient of Miühitfan. Jacob Vandewarker, a worthy and respected citizen of Ann Arbor for over forty-five years, who died the 3d inst., was attacked with a stroke of 'parÚJÓM on the 25th of February, was bom January 7th, 1813, in Herkimcr, New Vork.
