Military Professorships In Colleges.
The military spirit is certainly, in
the ascendant in this country at the
present time, and wo are likely to
have an array of military officers suf-
ficient to lead any number of armies,
not only in the United States, but
have plenty to spare to any outside
barbarians who may need their SER
vices.
Welearn from the New York Times,
that the Secretary of War has drawn
up a plan for the establishment of
military professorships in the colleges
of the country. The mode suggested
is to detail competent officers from
the army to teach military science in
each college whose faculty will make
provision for military branch of
education. Two competent officers
will be sent to each college-one as
professor. of tactics and strategy, and
the other of engineering, gunnery,
Notifications and general military
science. 1t is stated that Maj. Whit
tesly has already started on tour
among the colleges to get their views
on the scheme; and if his report be
favorable, bill will, be introduced
into Congress, at its next session,
providing for putting the plan into
operation.
The next proposition in the Secre-
tary's plan is to commission, as
officers in the army, five members of
every graduating class, who may ex-
eel in general and military scholar
ship, and it is expected that these
commissions will serve as prizes to
stimulate the students. Our own
opinion is, that the people of this
country, in every section, have had
enough military training and educa-
tion, for four or five years past, and
that the national institution ut West
Point, and military academies scat
tered throughout the States, can fur
nish competent officers in sufficient
numbers for any emergency which
may arise. The education most
needed at the present time is that
which will fit young men for the prac-
tical duties and business of life, and
make them useful citizens. It is not
likely there will be another srebel-
lion" ut home, and still less likely
that the United States will become
involved in foreign war; Let the
youth Of the land have the education
which will qualify them to act we'll
their part in the future development
OF the vast resources Of the country,
instead of bribing them, SO to speak,
to adopt the profession of arms, for
which there is less necessity in this
country than among the despotisms
or monarchies of the old world.

AGE OF MAsoSRY.--Wc find an
item taken from Glasgow paper,
stating that st. Johns Lodge, of that
city, has recently celebrated the SO9th
anniversary of its existence, it having
been erected by charter from King
Malcolm, in 1867. We should like to
see the muster-roll Of that lodge, be-
ginning more than eight centuries
ago, and running along with the ages
to the present time. What kings
and kingdoms have risen and fallen
since the gavel was first sounded in
its East. How the world has chan ged,
and what progress has been made in
science and art! Eight hundred years
in the life time of lodge.

The Queen of Spain, on Good
Friday, after having attended divine
services in the royal chapel, washed
and kissed the feet of twelve poor
old men, and the King did the same
for rs many more. All of them were
supplied with new clothes, and after
wards conducted to tables on which
a plentiful repast was spread out for
their use, after which they were, it
is presumed, told to make themselves
scarce. This farce has been gone
through with annually for centuries.
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
cit is national shame that SO i'm
perfectly educated and Unbalanced an
individual as Judge Underwood,
should be endowed with high and
resonsible judicial position. If the
Republican party has any solicitude
for its reputation or its tenure of
power, we counsel it to get rid, as
speedily as possible, of such an in
cubus as this Virginia D Dogberry."
The Boston Post says: "Lockinc
up boys in prison cells for playing
marbles on Sunday, is not calculated
to improve their morals any more
than beating child numerically is
calculated to enlightcn its mind, or
starving or freezing one to purify
its religious nature. But all these
experiments are tried here in our
neighborhood."
1t is proposed to disinter and
gather together the remains of the
Confederates who fell ut Bull Run
and Manassas. The ladies living
near those blood stained fields have
issued an appeal for aid in the enter
prise.

Sir Emerson Tenant gives in
Land and TVater an account of
pony, the property of milkman,
which brings milk to Sir Emerson's s
door daily. By means of bread,
sugar and chestnuts it has been
tanned, and it now moves from door
to door of its own accord, preceding
the milkman, so that while he is set
ting with the servant at one house,
the servants of the next house, warn
ed by the sound of the stoppage of
the cart, may be in readiness to take
in the milk when the man arrives.
AT certain doors, where the pony is
in the habit of being regaled with
bread, apples, &C., it contrives, with
out npsetting the cart, to raise the
knocker with its nose and rap twice.
