Tho Lauroau gentlemen who were racing

We wish to express our heart-fnlt thanks
to many of the Laureans. especially Messrs.
A. L. Vca.io and J. M. Wise, for their ablo
assUtaiic to tho Eiitaxians in electing a Cor
poration Presid. lit a member of the Eulaxisn
society. We fully appreciate the valuable
services ol these geutleuieli and respect tho
principles which actuated Iheui iu thi move
ment, that i equal right in the Corporation.
As it was very stormy on the day Corpora
tion meeting was held, those gentlemen with
the greatest kindness secured a cab nt thuir
own expense to transfer tho Etituxiitn to the
I'uiversity. Such generosity on the part of
the Liiiireiuis toward the Eiitaxians is unpar
alleled iu the pusf history of the Corpora
tion. Professor Straub was bndly fooled last
Sunday. Mr. Straub the day before picked
several hole in an egg, took out the con
touts uud filled it with salt, then covered the
boles over with plastor-of pari until they
were not visible. On Sunday morning it
was heated with the other eggs und brought
to the table. Of course Mrs. Straub managed
to let Professor get the stalled egg. After
breaking tho shell Professor Straub began a
wild siege of discovery. IIu dug deeper in
the egg until the salt fell out. The Pro
fessor was greatly astonished, thinking for ft
minute that he was the possessor of a hen
worth her weight iu salt, but hi delusion
wa soon dispelled by tho merriment of the
other uivmbi r of tho family. Ho realized
he was April fooled.
In the sixteenth moon of the leigu of King
Mulkey there was assembled in tho court of
this king ou the thirty and flist day of the
third month, two score and nineteen cour
tiers.'aniong which were the elders nud pa
triarchs of the two kingdoms, the I-aun tiu
from tho boggy uud muddy swamps, mid the
Eutnxiiiiis from the fertile plains and valleys.
They assembled in thi court to nnfjoiift a
successor to tho good King Mulkey, jwho
having reigned four unhappy moons linger
than any of his fathers, had resolved to ab
dicate hi throne, despite the remonstrances
of his councilors. Sir Allau Forward, Count
Smith, the Marquis of Brattaiu,Lord Woods
worth aud the Duke of Lock wood. These
councilors prevailed upon Princo Patrick to
battle with tho Eutiuian Queen for the
throne of his fatheis. When they bad gath
ered together to do these thing there aioie
among the elders and patriarchs olio Lord
Woodnworth, who cried in a loud voice:
"Hear me, oh yo people, while I call nnto
you to aniioint Prince Patrick, king iu the
room of hi fathers " And some few of tho
people hearkened, but iney all hearkened
when the Princess Emma inose and spoke
these words: "Hearken unto mo while I toll
you of one the Princess Agues, a Eutaxian
who sittelh with ns this day; behold
she is wise nud powerful; make her queen of
all these people." And the words of the
Princes Emma prevailed, for the people did
make the Eutaxian Princess queen over all
the people, and she was annointod aud did
sit iu the throno where King Mulkey sat no
more, au.l she did rule the people wisely
while they did choose certain ones from the
Eutaxian and Laurean people to sit in tho
other place. Tho people did choose for
scribe Sir Herbert, whose surname is Con
don; for master of tho treasury, Lord Jesse,
the Wise; for to guard the books, Sir James
whose father's name is Greenfield, aud they
did choose as n helpmeet unto James while
guarding the books tho Princess Melissa.
And there was eli.'ii two other law-givers,
the kuightsSir Guy do ll.,vey and Sir Louis
Davi. Then the peoplt, ds. n ted, the Eu--tnxians
to thuir vhIIi y and tho Lsuteans to
their swamps, aud all the land v-'as filled
with rejoicing because of the Eutaxian
lyiotory.
