The Language of Umbrellas.

There is a language of umbrellas
as of flowers. For instance, place
your umbrella in rack and it will
indicate that il is about to change
owners. To open it quickly in the
street means that somebody's eye is
going to be put out. To shut ii, that
hat or two is to be knocked off
An umbrella carried over the
woman, the man getting nothing
but the drippings of the rain, signi-
fies courtship. When the man has
the umbrella and the woman the
drippings, it indicates marriage. To
p4Qch your umhrella. into q person
you. To swing your umbrella over
your head, signifies l am making a
nuisance of myself. TO trail your
umbrella along the sidewalk, means
that the man behind you is thirsting
for your blood. To carry it at right
angels under your arm, signifies
that an eye is to be lost by the man
who follows you. To open an UNI
brella quickly, 1T is said, will
frighten a mad bull. To put cotton
umbrella by the side of "A nice silk
one, signifies exchange is no rob
berry. To purchaae an umbrella,
means l am not smart, but honest.
To lend an umbrella indicates
L am fool. To return an
umurella means-never mind what
it means; nobody ever does that.
To turn an umbrella i'll gust ofwind
pressages profanity. TO carry your
umbrella in case signifies that it is
a shabby one. To carry an open
umbrella just high enough to tear
out mems eyes and knock off mems
hats signifies, 81 am woman" To
press an umbrella on friend, say
ing, "Oh, do take it, L had much
rather you would than not" signi-
fies lying. To give a friend half OF
your umbrella means. that both of
you will get wet. To carry it from
home in the morning means, at will
clear off,"

Now is the time for the people of
Austin Ito be aroused upon
the question of the location of
the-rState University. The fathers
of the Republic and of the
State provided for the inaugura-
ton of the grandest institution of
learning in the South, and they
showed their desire as TO tslocation
by setting aside, perpeually, one of
the grandest sites in the state for its
location. university Hill,' in the
nerthern portion of our beautiful
Capital City, has been reserved for
forty years for this Institution, and
yet the fortuityTs Of political
circumstances now, presents the
question of location TO the people
of Texas for decision. 1t is be-
lieyed they win endorse The pro-
visions of all, the old. constitutions,
aud place the Uniyersitywhere it was
intended itshould be; and yet it
should become a pleasing duty Of
these people, of Austin 10 see that
the work Is finished as was eontem--
plated. TO this end a movement
was begun, yesterday, which de-
serves the ready and substantial en-
dorsement of every citizen of
Austin. Read the report of the
meeting held yesterday at the city
hall, and, let every man put his
shoulder to- the wheel in moving
forward 10 -oSnSt,t.ri1rrrtfUIr- r..or,

The Post takes q broad and en-
tirely unselfish view of the questions
involved in The location of the State
University Hsays:4 n r Ji u
HIf possible, tiais matter should be
settled upon. its simple merits, and
if ever there was call upon our
peoplciit5 ia, now. thai they should
act insa disinterestssl spirit i'm the
Interests Of their ecIiildrcn and for
the fealOr7ofsthe state Local prein-
dice SIE0Afld obtain no place what
ever, i'm fhe8 decision OF the qIIes-
ton. For cur pafi, were we inilll-
eneed by selfish motives. we weuld
advocate with all our might the To-
cation OF fhc university az Houston,
and we think that we could present
cOgent reasons why such Il selection
should be made. based upon the ad-
vansages afforded by IFS great rail-
road advantages. disability TO sup
port the thousand wants of such an
institution, and tire material it
would furnish in an Increasing ratio
for the successful working of the
several schools. But we are con-
l lSlEdlhCo w u bCnoC vi OtutI ~ IOOh
further to the general interests of
the state. and to advocate the claims
of that point which seems to be
most in consonance with the initial
idea of the university, and which
will ultimately cOnduce most power
| fully to its success. Ante
cedently, it is fitting and proper that
!. a state institution should be. estab-
lished at the scat of government.
The legislative, executive and edu-
cational pulse should beat together.
Youth is impressible. The stamp
\ that Is cat-,.,,o-r tfIe plastic mind of
early manhood generally lasts
| through life. The young men Of
the state should be allowed TO see
something of the procedures of gov
ernment in the concrete, and if the
legislators set them an nndignified
and unworthy example, the more
shame to them.
In the course of time Austin will
be filled with various materials
gathered necessarily at the capital,
whether of art, science, literature or
practical nature, that will afford
means of Improvement and study
not to be extempOrized i'll the
country or small town. If the
dormitory system is abandoned,
it will be necessary, for the
well being Of the students. and for
the success of the university, that it
shall be located in Il city capable of
accommodating,in few years, from
one to two thousand persons COM
fortably and conveniently. Austin
has this capacity. The point should
have the benefit of health; Austin IS
healthy. Ifpossible, it should be an
elevated site, and surrounded by
fine scenery; Austin, in these re-
spects, has no superior amongst the
towns Of the state. The university
should be easy of access: Austin Is
on the line OF railroads east and
west, and soon will be accessible by
rail from all points. And, lastly,
the original idea Of the fathers OF
the plan was That the university
should be located at the capital. A
noble site was set apart for that pur-
pose. and if no other point can offer
decidedly superior claims, by the
natural law of selection, that which
is satisfactory and is already pro.
yided, should be preferred. ..
