STUDENTS ON THE RAMPAGE.

About 600 Melbourne University students attended the Opera House one night last week, to witness the representation of Miln in " Hamlet." They were fairly orderly during the performance. -Afterwards they mached into the city in grotesque procession. This.included mock policemen. Two of theso patrolled Bourke street and created a sensation by arresting two other students. They created a disturbanqe in -Bourke-street, and both the personating students were arrested and locked up, but were bailed out by JMiln, the actor, himself. The police were followed to the lockup by a large crowd of students, who, however contended themselves by hootiirig and yelling. " .

If we hunt.foxes folks say wVre cruel : if vre hunt aniseed bugs folks laugh at us. What can we hunt without exciting indignation or ridicule? .Small Boy — Rats.', On St. Patrick's Day. — Enthusiastic Irishman: — " Tfwhy do I wear all this green about me, is it?
