A most noval, convenient, and valuable business calendar for 18- 88 is the Columbia Bicycle Cal- endar and Stand, just issued by the Pope Mfg. Co, of Boston, Mass. In this calendar a new de- parture has been made, decidediy unique and different from any previous attempt in calendar con- struction, The calendar proper is in the form of a pad, containing 866 leaves, one for each day in the yeur, to be torn off daily, The leaves ure 54 by 2} inches, and a potion of each leat is left blank tor memoranda, so arranged that the memorandum blank for any coming day cun be turned to im- mediately at any time. The pad rests upon a portable stand, and when placed upon the desk or writng table*the eutire surface of the date leaf is brought directly, and left cons antly, before the eye furnishing date and memoranda, impossible to be overlouked. Up- on each slip appear, as in the pre- vious Columbia calendars, quota— tions pertaining to cycling from leading publications and promi- nent writers. The paragraphs are entirely new from previous years’ calendars, and although tnere seem to be bit litte when read trom day to day. altogather the items would make a medium sized pamphlet, and added to the cullee- tions of other years, a large vol- ume—a collection of quotations wiich illustrates the popularity and Utiveisality ‘of cycling the w. rid over.

Colcr prejudice has at last got- ten into the Howard Uui ersity Medicul Department over the e- lection of a class val dicturian. By arule of the caus it seems that it requires a two-third vote to elect. The white studen's are in the minority and cen’t elect one ot their number, so they held a cxu cus und nominated Mr. C. C Johnson, a very ] ght ¢ mp!exted colored man wh» caunct ve dis~ tinguish from white, while the colored students nominated Mr. Waring, sou of kev. Win. Waring, a youvug min of ability and indian color. The colored studen's in- sis'ed on the election of Mr. Waring and opposed Mr. Johuson because bis volor doesn’t represent the negro race. Sevcerai ballots were tuken on each nemince, but without any result. The friends of each nominee have requested th m to withdraw in the interest of harmony, bat they refuse. The white students claim that Mr Waring is too dark to repre-eut the wuites and Mr. Johnson is too light to represent the blucks. The | whole of ihis controversy has been | referred to the faculty and it is| understood that the faculiy will} appoint a white laity member of | the class. This is a wer of color | between blacks and blacks and} whites.
