The students of the University of Missouri, have a paper called Truth, of which we see it remarked that: "If it were crushed to earth, it would have its value as top-dressing." The editor writes with a far western flavor. To him the faculty of the university of Missouri are "cranks, idiots, sneaks, knaves and dead-beats." One of the female teachers is vividly alluded to as a "pop-eyed apparition," and the editor has recourse to poetry to describe one of the faculty:

"Not all the pumice of the polished town

Can smooth the roughness of this barnyard clown."

One St. Louis paper likens the schooling of the editors and contributors of Truth at the state's expense to "the cultivation of blackguardism at the cost of the taxpayer." - N. Y. Post.
