Oh no, Miss Mills, they are not called tutors because they do so much coaching.

Is a tutor a tooter? No; but he does a good deal of blowing on his advertising cards.

The audience yesterday at Mr. Perry's lecture consisted of thirty-five persons, including twelve ladies and the dean.

The steps of University were yesterday covered with a glare of ice, making the passage up and down difficult and dangerous.

Mr. F. R. Burton, chorister of '82, has addressed a circular to the members of '82, requesting them to write the words for the class song. The circular, which is unavoidably crowded out of today's issue of the HERALD, will be printed in full tomorrow.

The statement made a few days ago in the HERALD that the men in German I. who had been unable to procure the text books used the first term, would be excused from the mid-year examination, is not strictly true. They will be examined only on the text book used this term.

The debate yesterday in English 6 was on the question : "Resolved, That the United States should take measures to the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty." Messrs.

The question for the next debate, February 16, is: "Resolved, That the bill now pending in Congress, by which the members of the Cabinet are admitted into Congress for the purposes of speech, ought to become a law." Affirmative: Rogers, Whiting and Keep; negative: Webb, Allen and Delafield.

Mr. Perry yesterday continued his lectures on English Literature. He devoted considerable attention to Addison's "Cato" and the dramatic tendencies of the age in connection with the rigid principles of "the three unities" in composition. The introduction of this principle into England and its only temporary prevalence there, was discussed at some length, with citations from Dr. Johnson, who seems to have given the final blow to its influence. Mr. Perry remarked upon the close connection of authorship with politics at the beginning of the seventeenth century, and its bad effects on literary production. Fulsome dedications and political services in the way of adulation and satiric composition were the chief claims to patronage and the means of gaining a livelihood. With Sir Robert Walpole the Augustan age of English literature ceased, and authorship became so precarious an avocation that many authors were reduced to the extremest straits and to absolute want.
