ADDENDA. mM ITH the last flash of an expiring intellect, the over-wrought editors ■I5»-4{S»- wish to exoress their a-ratitude to the noble few who have never ex- ■ wish to express their gratitude to the noble few who have never ex- pressed any curiosity as to when the Index is coming out. To the ' 92 Index ' ' Board we bequeath these results of a hard experience. You will expect to enjoy a fat sinecure, but credit us, the remainder of your class, who have to pay for publication, but have no further concern, have a picnic compared with you. You will be assailed from day to day by fiends who want to know when the Index is going to press, how big a book it will be, or what kind of a cover it will have, or who — worse still — have something good enough for the Index. When you have written copy all the evening, not expecting to be called on in class next day, the Faculty will single you out to recite, with relentless persistency, and to crown all, when j ' ou have seen an Index rewai ' d your labors, you will not have made as large a fortune as you expected, far from it. To all whom, it may concern : — Until the present excitement dies out, we shall dispense copies of the Index from behind a breast-work of Libel Stat- utes. By special arrangement with the authorities at Springfield, we have been able to secure an unlimited supply of ball cartridge; the Queen has kindly offered us the loan of seven complete suits of armor from the Tower of Lon- don, and a detachment of Chicago police, of Haymarket Square riot fame, has been engaged to escort the Index Board to and from recitations during the remainder of the winter.
