We are interested in the lineage OF schooIboy iii

houses of worship of which they know nothing be-

church member, not knowing the religious dehoim-
nation of the church he is looking at is entirely uh-
certain whether he ought to admire the architecture
or not.
Perhaps it will aid the thoughtful citizen to
proper comprehension of Judge Edmunds and his
offcia! Matchmaking of the women in the treasury
Department at Washington, to know that their
average salary is nine hundred dollars year. When
the judge makes demand, therefore, for twelve
dollars from each of these clerks he asks for one
sixth of months salary-a sum that will seem large
enough to any man who calculates the hole that the
same deduction would make in his income. Many
of these women have families dependent on them
for support some are caring for widowed notners
and Others are educating brothers and sisters. They
are all poor, and most of them deserving. Ii Judge

There are dark as we'll as bright sides to the mer-
camille character and firms which would have an
ill-soundng name if they were baptized as appro-
| priately as the Cheeryble Brothers. There was a
painful instance of this not long ago not hundred
miles from Fulton Ferry. Through gross careless
ness vat Of vtriol in factory was left uncovered
1t was about a level with the floor and in the
way Of persons passing through to the Office
boy. calling to collect bill or leave an order
into this room, and with his eyes blinded by the
transition from the glare of sunlight to comparative
darkness, walked straight into the vat. Even while
| immersed in this awful bath, the poor boy had the
presence of mind to tell some one who came to his
aid not to take him by the hand, but by the collar.
In three hours he was dead. He had been the only
| good son of family of unpromsing boys, and was
largely the means of his widowed mothers support
Tho firm through whose carelessness he lost his life
did not trouble themselves in the least abont his
condition or that of his family, made no inquiries
about him. male no offer to bear even part of his
funeral expenses. The widow bore these alone. as
she did her sorrow. They must be courageous men
who store up for themselves memories like this.
We have it upon the authority of The atlanta (Ga
| Constitution that 60 Doctors of Medicine and 49,
lawyers are practicng DESTROYS of practice in that
city. They represent about 1000 persons who are
| dependent upon them for support; yet there are
more doctors than would be needed if pe5tilence
were raging and moro lawyers than would be called
forifevcry ablebod,ed citizen Of Atlanta either
plaintiff or defendant. "Only two of the medi-
cine men, we are told, land barely dozen of the
disciples of Blackstone possess each property to the
amount of $4,000" Business makes business; rail-
ways increase travel; but the most charitable cannot
be sick Just to help along the doctors, or plunge into
| litigation Just to encourage the lawyers. We sup
pose that what true of Atlanta is equally true of
the whole country; the liberal professions they
! are called are overcrOwded and although there is
always room at the top, mediocrity must be the rule
with its consequent want of any marked success,
and with crowd encouraged by no success at all ut
| the bottom. The young Bachelors of Arts should
understand that there other resources than law,
| physc or divinity and that there is almost every
where an ovcr-supply of school teachers Com
mercial chances are always and everywhere so
eagerly improved as to leave little opportunity for
newcomers; yet they offer more numerous grades of
success than the professions But then there is the
| broad bosom Of the earth waiting for pow and
shovel and hoe and never asking whether the tllcr
| has graduated or not. Digs the word.
