The June Magazines

The inflow of the June numbers of our magazine exchanges is an index that at the last summer is at hand, - though with a very short allowance of spring. We have : Scribner'a Monthly, which opens with another of Edward King's capital aiticles on " The Great South,"- this time, The South Carolina Problem, the Epoch of Transition : and such " transition !" it ought to satisfy any one that partisan tyranny and corruption, the outgrowth of not reconstruction but misconstruction and the enfranchisement of the ignoraut negro horde, have rolled back the wheels of progress in one of the fairest States of the South. The article is prof usely and finely illustrated. Then we have: Victorian Poets (Alfred Tennyson, part II.), by E. C. Stedman ; Katherine Earle, chaps. XVIII.- XX., by Adeline Trafton ; Adina, part II., by Henry James, Jr. ; Au Sable Chasm, illus., by Cliiïord P.

Catholic Publication House, New York. - The Nttrsery is a gem of a number, but it ia always that, both in print and picture, story and verse. We like to see the littla ones go tbrough it. John L. Sho eey, Boston. The seniors and juniors, in "a card" issued by their committee, - probably for the purpose of smoothing the passage home of the suspended sophomores and freshmen, - charge that the " haziug " for which the boys were disciplined was committed out of college hours and not upon the University premises, and consequently, in the opinión of these self-constituted udgesof the high court of appeal, " not within the jurisdiction of the faculty." They quote in support of their position this catalogue rule : " Studeuts are temporary residente of the the city, and, like all other residents, are amenable to the laws. - Whenever guilty of disorder or crime, they are Hable to arrest." This same rule is copied into various student Communications to the press of the State, coupled with the other statement in the " card " that the city authorities have winked at " hazing " and have not " regarded it as a breach of the peace." And thia in face of the fact that arresta have frequently been made by the city authorities and that one of the " original six " once left a coat in the hands of the Marshal : helped out of it by class-matos to save him frorn a night iu the cross-bar hotel at the foot of Main street. We desire only to remaYk, that if seniors and juniors have pursued their studies so far without being able to interpret the quoted rule more in accordance with its spirit they have pursued them to very little purpose, and should go back and begin again with the rudimente. That rule is no more and no less than a uotice that students are also citizens, and that being students does not license th3m to viólate the local or civil law with impunity. It pledges no immunity from college or faculty discipline, relieves them of no obligation to be obedient to college rules, attention to college duties, or respecttul to college professors. Their liability to arrest in no mauner relieves the faculty of the responsibility of taking cognizane of breaches of the peace committed off the college grounds ; and that such responsibility may have been too long ignored or evaded is no plea of extenuation in behalf of the students. Again, while we admit that the body of students are not " rowdies," " bullies," " ruffians," or " brutea," but well-meaning young men, impulsive and easily led into scrapes they regret in their better moments, we must still remind them that the " hazing " practioed here is not the innocent amusement or the noble athletio game they profess to heliere it. Let them ask themselvea if they could justify the same raids made by mechanica, clerks or town boys ot any calling? If they cannot, it is as great an offense or misdemeanor in college boys, and no more to be excused or tolerated in them. This comparison should satisfy reasoning students (whether class committees or Chronicle editors) that very moderate censure of the offendera should not be linked with denunciation of faculties. The Indianapolis Sentinel of the 24th uit., thus discourses coucerning ' The Great Leviathan " which is advertised to visit our city on the 3d prox. : The crowds that lined the principal thoroughfare of the city yesterday forenoou, and the hght of the illumiuated countenances of the expectant throngs, announced that an unusual event was about to take place. The evunt had some time ago cast its shadows before in the way of the mammoth announcements of Bamum's c Co.'s Grand Central Park Menagerie and Zoological combination, Sanger"s Euglish Menagerie, Howe's London Circus and Stone's Colossal Uircus. rne pageant as ie entereu vv asmnguju street was maguifioent. Chariots, golden tints, acarlet riders, a long line of cages, contaming the animáis which the four quarters of the earth have been made to contribute, the untamed " kings oi the plain ;" these followed by the lordly elephants (whose tread seemed to shake the earth,) and who in turn were succeeded by fiery chariots, etc, was a royal sight indeed. But the exhibition itself was not inferior to the pageant. The menagerie is a most complete one, and was visited by hundreds during the aftornoon and eveuing. Araong its curiosities were four " Indiana hons." Not that they are indigenous to the sou oí this state but were bom here ; the mother, an Asiatic lioness, giving birth to them at Kushville a few days ago. They are about the size of kittens and attract much attention f rom the curlous, most of whom have never before thus dared " to beard the lion in his den." This constitutes but a small part of the attractions which are multiphed on every side. The circus draws great numbers of admirers and ia not the least attractive part of the pavilion entertainments. Other journals speak in equilly complimentary terms. lts hkely to be the show of the seasou.
