Thomas Benton Reetl, better kuown, perhaps, as Speaker Reod, of Marine wluere many great men come from, Ss to lecture on Friday evening Mafdt lOííh, at Unive-.isity Hall. There wüll be no B'tanding room fhat niglit, for all are deislirous of hearing the fainoiis gentleman who had the courage to help .formúlate a set of rules for conigresB, and tJicii tlio bcuskbone to stand by tfhem, -whkh not only allowed the inajoT'ity to rule, but made it possible to expedí te public business. lïy wfahdi act he was termed a "'czar," by ferfB potttlcal oppoiientsi He is one of the great mem of the day. He will be ,heard all over the hall, too, for altliougih he hae not a full and clear voice, yet it is strong and penetrating EOis subje ,t will be nom-politieal, and tihe aoid)fenc will not (JO away feoling thnt they have. not heard anything after h,e igets "Uirough. Thie autlience tliat a.sscmbled to hear J. Whitcomb Riley, last Friday even'ing at I.'niversity Hall, did not. go away "out of sorts." They went away very mueh pleased. Mr. Riley is not disappointing, as so nwiny of the lecturers are. He gives haa recitations in a droll way which adds very much to til keen humor ad often pathos- for tiie two a.re almost inseperable traveling companions. Mr. Riley is the uier.'or of miy hunorous lecturer that ever visitd Ann Arbor, save Mark Twain. The songs rendered by Mr. 8. R. Mills, of the School of Musfe, were a pltvisiiin teature. If our people 'wfll but appreviate tihe fact, we hdive hore in Ann Arbor now about as good musical talent ai it 6 possible to procure anywhere. No need of tanporting any oitllier in vocal or instrumit!al music. Thie N'orthville Record of March 2d, hias tliiia in reference to an accident tío ome of Ann Arbor's young ladies: 'Wh, Ie QOtUrfthlg with hundrede of others an thie boulevard hiights Monday evemii'ng, Míbs Cora Alexander, of Ann Arbor, sfetier of Miss Emma Alexander, teat'lüer in the Northville school, with wlumi ehe has been vtoiting for the week -yatit, was run m-er by a folio wiiifi OCHMsr and quito badly injured about the head and arms. There were a dozen or so occupants on the head coaster anl wliien it elew aixund side waJyB, all jumped in time except Miss Alt'xaml-cr wtuo wa near the middle and no way to escape until too late, the raipïdly coaster just belLind them, aml in an instant there was a coUision. Miss Alexander was tlwown under the runners and the coaster passed over her. She was plicked up unconscious and conveycil to Mr. (Ovtrl's resildence and afterwanls 1o iicr sistci-'s boarding house. Dr. Burgess, Uie atteinling pliysician, Ktates that the injuries are fortuna tely not serious and the young lady will Boon recover from a very narrow escape oí a fatal accident." 'Will yon give me your heart,pretty maid ? It would till all n'i y lite with content." And she smiled and blushed as she said : "Oh, I can't now, sir. It is I-ient." A very enjoyable dance was given by the Buteher's Aseociation at Custer Hall, last Friday evening. Emil Baur is a regular contributor tx "Deutselier Farmer," published ia Chiioago, and to the department of "Farm and Garden" in the "Christiiclie Apologete," one of the very best ■"eeklies of 10 pages published by Craanston & Kui-ts, Cincinnati. He aleo eontributed biograpMcal sketches to soid paper. In his artiele on oat, published lately, lie describes the success of tlue Scotch in alt branches, and tflieir rich groAvth of hair to their oat diet. He ík just now preparing an artïcle on the American hog, and fat producing plants and feeding etuffs. A íatal accident occurred at the electric light work last Thursday evenimg, at 6 o'elock, which snuffed out the liife of little Leo, a híx years old on of Albert MeOardy, a fireman at the works, vithin an instant. Tlie boy as noticed to come into the building and walk alongside a large seven foot fly-wheel that was making 250 revolmtions a minute. The next instant two thumps were hoard and the tather rushed to the spot and picked up the liLeles form of his on. He was cauglut 5n the fly wheel 1 ii .-ome vay and hurled against an iron pillar, and from there against a box standing near. His Kkull was i rulied and death was instantaneous. The grief striekon paronts Jiave the kiiully sympat'hy of everyone in tbelr terriWe tvffl Ictton. Marshall P. Wilder and his oouipaniou entertainers gave a very good entertainment at University Hall Saturday eveming. It was unfortunate for Mr. Wilder tfhat he was preceded by Mr. Kiley the previous evening. While he is good at anecdote, and to a certain extent as a mimic, he is not above the ordinary in recitation, nnd tlie piano which he accompany his reeit-ations makes it difficult to under Stand him in a large hall. His volee ■te not strong or suffüciently clear to liave a counter attractioii Ín progreaa ait tlhe same time. The musical people vil compriise the remainder Of f he lerformance are vory good, esper.iully Miss Woolsey, v-(ho is a wonderful mufiiiian. She can play almost any sort of a musical instrument and play it well. To her there seemed to be maislic in everything, and she needed no notes before hrr eyei to guilde ter hands. She carries them all in her lread, and they were at her cominaiKl perfectly and instantly. As ncrfiting of the kind, that is any euch variety, Uad ever before appeared in IniveiMity Hall, the boys were inolined to iniake sport of the initial pieces on thte programme, but their entertainers were not to be duped, and were really artists in their line, and so they oalmed down, and aside from two or t'hiree too enthueiastic "phunny phellOws," wilio diln't weemto know when tliey overstepped tlie bounds of decorum, obeyed tlwir gentlemanly lnstimts. AlthouRli not up to expectatibns, yet the evening was not au nnpleasiuvt one.
