The Professor Marrying a Cook.

Some years since, when | was in college,
we had amongst our faculty" curious per-
sonage, whom everyone regarded with con-
siderable respect, and yet as character SUI
generis. So, He had lived many years without O
wife, and expected to live so always. iu-
deed, as he was the professor of mathema tics
the abstraction of his science forbade his in
dulging in the idea of getting married To
the female sex, therefore, he showed no 9th
er regard than common poiiteness required.
His character was purely negative. OF
course, he was not popular with the ladies,
and they kept themselves at distance from
him. But circumstances that often bring
about match in other cases, placed him in
O peculiar dilemma 1t seemed w him that
a necessity was laid upon him to get married
He was one of the faculty of the college all
the other professors were married and obliged
to entertain the distinguished visitors of the
institution. He had always boarded. OF
course, it wasn't ever expected of him that
he should even give party or dinner. But
it began to be regarded as rather mean in
him to shirk off this matter from year to year,
and well off as he was pecuniarily," to
| throw upon the other members of she faculty
the cost and trouble of entertaining the spe.
cial friends and patrons of the college. The
question was, therefore, frequently asked:
some of the distinguished visitors that visit
| us ?''
Now, our professor wasn't a miser ut all,
and it often troubled him to think he was sc
situated that he couldn't bear his part of the
burden And yet, what could he do? Must
he get married? And if so, to whom He
had no special regard for any one in the vi
cinity of the college, and no one had any
special regard for him. In his younger days
he had seen at school young lady, in the
city of New York, in whom he had felt pc
culiar interest. But of her he hadn't heard
for years. Doubtless before this time she
was married or in her grave. Possibly, how
ever, she was still living and waiting for him
Glorious thought He was quite relieved al
it. though. indeed, there might be no tounda
tion for his relief. Nevertheless he could
make due inquiry. Nor could he long delay
for commencement day was at hand, only a
few weeks off. 1t was his turn, or rather
would be if he was married, to give the greai
dinner to the distinguished personages who
! would be present on the occasion. There

From the Philadelphia Ledger (money article)
The Panic in Prices--The Decline in Gold
--Trouble Among the Dry Goods
E9aonla

The downward tendency OF coin adds to
the 1neasiness In commercial circles, and not
only brings down the prices OF important COM
| modities, but paralyzes the home market Sales
cannot be effected at any price. While the
importers continue to crowd their goods into
the auction houses, the domestic manufsctur
ers are stacking theirs in the mills. Several
of the cotton and wooden factories in the
neig hborhood of Philadelphia have ceased
operations temporarily, IS they at the time
supposed, in the expectation that the demand
and sales in a month or two would so reduce
their stock as to enable them to resume work
without any material break in prices. In this
they have been disappointed. Sales are al
most impossible at any price, and any offered
reduction but the more eifectuaily frightens
purchasers from the market. We hear OF
one instance where stock of goods, valued
at four hundred thousand dollars, six weeks
ago, are now stacked in the mills and would
not realize three-fourths of that SUN if put
on the market. There are several similar
cases. In truth there are no large buyers of
wooden goods at any price. In the meantime,
the leading dry-goods importers are feeding
the auction rooms, the rule being to buy
as little and sell as much as possible. The
unsettled condition of the financial affairs, by
the reason of the Inaction of congress. no
doubt adds to the distrust tina. now charac-
! terizes business walks, bring down the price
of gold and of all commodities, and filling
the country with pressing and anxious sellers
opposed by laggard buyers, confident that the
longer they wait the cheaper they will buy.
| 1t is we'll understood, at the present advanced
| stage of the season, that the spring trade of
| 1866 is a losing one, especially to those en-
gagged in dry goods. The truth is, the price
| of most manufactures will have to follow
the course of gold. Indeed, from various
causes. gold has declined more than almost
any of she products Of labor that csn be men,
toned, and is now the cheapest article on the
market Those who first yield to the tendency
of the times and realize on their productions
| OF whatever character, are likely to be best
| of, especially if the i'm pression is maintained
that the secretary of the treasury is deter.
mined TO shape MS course towards an early
resumption for whether to reach that desir
able result requires any severe contraction
of the currency or not people will always dis
count their fears, and the fact ia thus forced
whether necessary or not.

The presidentess called and was amazed
the cook was much her superior-and che felt
it.
The other officers ladies having heard that the
presidents wife had called on Mrs. Mack, were
obliged according to custom to follow suit
They, too, were disappointed, for the New York

at all inferor-her father having had fortune

Commencement day was now near at hand,
and the great dinner was to come off at the pro-
fessor's. Nor was Mrs. Mack at all discomfort
ed about it. She had seen thing or two be-
fore, and was fully confident of her own ability
to meet the exigency.
When time arrived all eyes were fixed on Mrs.
Mack. How would she appear in the presence

ence OF the professors and president? And wha,
sort of a table would she set, and hsw would
| she grace it? Could she go through it with dig

In etiquette-in conversational the arrange
| ment OF all the circumstantials and in the fomaI
ties of the occasion she showed herself equal to
the duties devolving upon her, and evidently in
terested the governor very much by her powers
| of conversation. "What a charming lady" said
he to his wife, sis Mrs. Mack and what
table she set how well she grsces it,
"Ny dear husband, said she, "do you know
she is New York cook-why, she has been
mere servant for many years ~

SAKE AS A POET.

Msssrs. Tioknor & Fields, the celebrated
Boston publishers, have announced as in press
and to be published in April, new volume
by John G. SAKE, entitled "The Masquerade
and Other POEMS" Of the Blue and Gold
book, by the same author, lately republished
in England, that unusually hyperoriticsi
and always anti-American journal, the Lon
don Athenouns, says, very oivily: 1.-THE pub
Usher has done we'll in sending forth the
present volume. Mr.. SAKE, as q writer of
sparkling rers de societe, has for many years
enjoyed wide popularity in the United
States, and ought to meet with similar &C.
oeptanoe in England"
twill be remembered that the Union, in a
notice of Mr.. Saxe's lecture here, called him
"a wooden-nutmeg Yankee, all over" and
claimed that he was not genui ne poet. The
Onion further said:
"We do not find fault with SAKE any one else
for turning honest penny. But we do find fault
with those who lavish fulsoue praise upon him,
and call such scribblers by the honored name of
poet We hare some American poets, whose Of
fusions will be read with pleasure and profit so
long as English or American literature exlsts-but
thew are n OF OF the SAKE school. Bryant, Longel-
w,
in that walk, have occasion to hawk their
wares about the country. The muse of the true
poet is not a marketable article-'
As to the statement that ''the muse of the
true poet is not marketable article" we re-
ply that none other is! Tennyson, in Eng
land, and Pierpont and Holmes in this coun,
try, have recited their poems when invited
and paid for the work-and so has SAKE.
As to the idea that humorous verse is not
poetry, that all depends On the definition of
the word. If that sort of verse is of necessi-
ty unpoetical, then one fourth of Shakespeare
oue-half of Horace, Halleck and Holmes, and
three-fourths of Hood is not postry,-and the
world won't agree to that. But one thing is
certain-that volumn entitled "Ssxe's Pc.
ems" which, in Is years has reached thirty
editions, and has had the honor to be repub-
Eshed in England, has no need to be defended
as to its literary merit against the opinion Of
the editor of the Rock Island Union!
We are glad to notice that Ticknor Fields
are about TO publish handsome volume, BY
SAKE, entitled "The Masquerade and Other
Poems, "and we have no doubt that our book
sellers will find it ga marketable article"

The Boston Pilot, in a well written and
candid review OF the presidents position,
concludes thus: "Amid all these combined
attacks, the president has stood firm, unhin
ching and undaunted. He has appealed
from party TO the people; from leaders to the
masses; and he stands, to-day, the standard
bearer of the Union, the defender of the
constitution, the one man on the watoh-tower
of his high office to defend both from as
saults, and to sound the notes of danger to
BOTH"

DRY Goods
A New York dispatch says:

'sDecided styles of foreign dry goods command
fair prices, but thele is an immense amount of
trash crowded in the auction rooms, and it sells
lower. There is very unsettled feeling prevail
ing, with general desire the part of impor ers
to realize. Importations have been heavy. Many
goods have been sold for currency at less tina n
they cost on the other side for gold. The season.
thus far, has been an Improbable one, generally
and losses have been severe in many cases. The
steady decline in gold and cotton, of late, has
assisted materially in bringing down prices, and
there is dread of contraction of the curren-
cy.,,

ing:
AT ROCK ISLAND.
.From the city of Rock Island a railroad, orig
inally projected to Peoria and which may proba-
bly, in srsect the proposed American Central at
GsIya1 runs to Coal Valley IL miles nearly south.
The country here is broken by somewhat frequent
hills 10 and so feet in height A coal bed OF av-
erage thickness of four and one-half feet, and of
uniform quality throughout, extends beneath hill
and often raviue-and has been tested SIX miles
to the east and like distance to the west, and at
points over a surface of 80 or 40 miles north and
south. 1t has excellent roof, generally OF lime
stone, rarely of slate, with bed OF slate and occa
slonally) fre-ciay. Good openings are generally
found at the surface of the ravines, and the bed
extends into the bluffs, so feet below the surface.
Little trouble has been experienced from water,
for the removal of which the common wooden
pump suffices,-except under one ravlne, whore a
amaH engine il used. The bed has a general in
cinaton to the east, but varies locally, somewhat,
with the surface OF the ground GENERALLY not I'M
DERIVING ravines. This irregularty ofievel is not
considered objection, being favorable to
drainage The company operating here own l.
200 acres. They have taken all the coal from 90
acres of the bed. They work l2O miners, and can
take out 100 tons day. The average for the
year is somewhat less than that, however,-the
amount mined last year being Do, 600 tons. Then
coal weighs so pounds to the cubic foot, and al
most everything in the bed is good. Besides this
company's mine, there are four separate "banks, y
together working 100 men, and getting out Zoo
tons a day, which Is hauled by teams to Rock Is
land and vicinity. This company's coal goes on,
largely the line of the Mississippi and Missouri
road, bringing high az 40 cents per bushel, oil
$40 per ton, in Central Iowa. Much oft is con.
sumed by steamboats,. The company pay sl.3:
per ton for digging, and the cost of getting te
the car is much more. 1t is now worth 50. sc
per ton at the mine (deivered) and $3.50 at Rocl
Island"

Coal Valley, and does not include a tentt
part of the coal fields of this county.
