There is trouble in Harvard Colege, on account of the admission of girls as students, an innovation that vas recently made. It appears that he college has a large library, provided with "authoi ities" and sofa seats, where the students go to refresh their memories upon certain points in their tudies, and -the complaint is that girls vill get down some work, of which here is only one copy in the library. nd when a young man comes in aml esirss the same book he is obliged to wait uut il t!ie girls get through with it.or L-e sit down and ook it through with ïer. On a recent occasion a venerable Vofessor entered the library and was urpristd to see no less than six girls vith books that young men were deirous of perusing, so desiraus in fact, hat the two were seated together eagerly scanning the pages, when the 'rofessor entered. The sight fairly caused the glass in his spectacles to bulge out, and it would be a mild exrcssion to say that he was shocked. Ie at once inquired the cause of the extraordinary desire for information that had suddenly sprung up, and the young men told him plainly that there must be duplícate copies of the books procured, so that the girls could have one and the young men the other. He said he would attend to it the first thing in the morning, and then the old l'uritan glared around the room at the girls, who, poor things, were sitting with their noses close down to the pages of their books, and studying as though their hearts would break. ïhen he coughed a couple of times, vaguely, and had the decency to go out. Vm. F. Somers, a bugler who was left for dead on the Held of the Custer massacre, is living at Elizabeth, ÍST. ,1., and placed on the pension list. He ought to be able lo give a report of a part of that mysterious tragedy.
