University Reporter.
The Mississippi University Magazine seems to think that the “Pro
gress of out Country” has not been discussed enough, and publishes
an oration on that subject which takes up over half the space devoted
to reading matter in the November number.
The Adelphean comes in a new dress and is as handsome as one
could wish. There is a sprightliness about this paper that attracts
every one. It may be due to the assistance of the co-eds. The girls
are often great workers.
The Vanderbi't Observer is a solid paper. It has opinions and does
not hesitate to express them. The reply to the “New York Mule in
Distress” is good, and gives a sple did idea of the Southern view of
Harvard’s recognition of the equality of th u negro. The state of affairs
desired by that miserable blubber and idiot, Elliot I. Sheppard, will
never come to pass so long as the blood o' the South is as pure as it is
now. Tire average Northern editor knows no more about the South
than a Zulu does about the North Pole, and the less he attempts to
di-cuss the subject of equality with tile negro the better off he will be
in the minds of the people.
