The Rapid Increase of Professors.

In this favored land the professor is running the colonel pretty close race, and the colonel may just as well understand that he has to hump himself or he'll get shut out at the distance pole Just after the close of the war the col onel took such start that the most sanguine friends of the professor admit ted that he could not catch up. But the professor is one of the immortal few that were not born to die, and while the republic lasts, he will be on deck. Seed time and harvest may fail, Summer may cease and the Winter may not endure, morning and even time may pass away, but the professor will be here. This is the country for him, and while it is definitely settled by the last census that the colonel is dying out, and that there is now but one colonel to every thirty seven of population, the professor is on the increase and holds all that he gains. The colonel differs widely from the pro- lessor in that no reason is ever assigned for his being. A man is simply called ''colonel," either because he was lieu tenant in the army or never was in the army, it is immaterial He is just col onel, that's all. But the professor claims his title by reason of his profession" whether it be the cobbling of shoes or training of dogs. And as occupations increase in variety, so the professor in- creases in number

 A Newburyport shipmaster who died in Havana in 1S41 was placed in mahogany coffin, that encased in one of lead, and the whole put in white oak puncheon filled with spirits, which was brought home and inferred. Re- gently the grave was opened, the punch con found almost as sound as when buried, with the spirits still remaining in it.
 The coal-felds of Alabama cover 1O,- 860 square miles, and the coal is all bituminous, but differs widely in quail ty. The best coal in the state, and in fact in the United States, being fully equal to English camel coal, is the Montevallo coal. No industry in the state has had so rapid growth as the coal industry. In 1872 only 0,00O tons were mined in the state; in 1879 the an- nual output had been swelled to 290, GOO tons; in 1880 to 340,00O tons, and in 1881 to 100000 tons.
 A little girl in the youngest class of one of the primary schools, who has been much interested in the spelling and definition of words, asked her teacher to give her the same privilege in her exercises. The first word pit out to her was man." which she correctly spelled, and supplied with the follow ing original and comprehensive defini- ton: Man, man; something that s got wife, wears pants, and don't wear dresses" After this exercise the detini- tion of words was suspended.

The Oircus-Day Parade.

Oh the circus-day parade! How the bugles
 played and playedl And how the glossy horses tossed their hOSsy
 names, and neighed, As the rattle and the rhyme of the tenor-drum-
 mer's time Filled the hearts of all of us with melody sub
 lime! How the grand band-wagon shone with a splen-
 dor all its own, And glittered with q glory that our dreams had
 never known And how the boys behind, high and low of
 every kind, Marched in unconscious capture, with rap
 ture undefled! How the horsemen, two and two, with their
 plumes of white and blue, And of crimson, gold and purple, nodding by
 at me and you, Waved the banners that they bore, as the
 knights in days of yore, Till our glad eyes gleamed and glistened like
 the spangles that they wore! How the graceless, graceful stride of the ele- And the capers of the little horse that cantered
 at his side. How the shambling camels, tame to the plaud- With listless eyes came silent, masticating as
 they came. How the cages jolted past, with each wagon
 battened fast, And the mystery within it only hinted of at last From the little grated square in the rear and The snout of some strange animal that sniffed
 the outer air. And, last of all, the clown, making mirth for
 all the town, With his lips curved ever upward, and his eye
 brows ever down, And his chief attention paid to the little mule
 that played A tattoo on the dashboard with his heels, in the
 parade. Oh the circus-day parade! How the bugles
 played and played And how the glossy horses tossed their fossy
 names and neighed. AS the rattle and the rhyme of the tenor-drum-
 mer's time Filled the hungry hearts of all of us with mel
 ody sublime!

Denver boasts an unusual assortment of curiosities for place of its size, and among them wonderful beggar named Mary Cunio, who makes periodical trips through the mountains and always re- turns with small fortune, which she at once proceeds to squander in riotous living. Every month she starts toward the South and rarely returns with less than $500. It is said that she now has on deposit in Denver several thousand dollars, and it is fact that when she was last arrested for drunkenness nearly $1,490 was found in her possession.

Referring to a St. Louis papers la- ment that American boys do not learn trades which are likely to pay so much better than average clerkships, the h. dianapolis Journal remarks that this arises less from false pride than from the extreme difficulty of procuring in- struction. Many a parent can attest that it is among the impossibilities for boys to secure situations where they can become skilled in any of the more desirable trades. It is, in fact, a great favor to take bov.n

THE NEW DEPOT

or the Gulf, Colorado g. Santa Fe ROAD
The passenger and freight depot OF the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road, situated
ON the south side of Commerce street, at
the intersection of Murphy street, is near
ing completion. 1t is a one-story frame,
composed of long-leaf pine, and when II
receives the finishing touches will be a
comedy looking building. 1t extends from
Commerce to Jackson street, distance OF
two hundred feet, and is twenty-five feet
wide, with an eight foot platform on each
side of the freight depot. The ladies'
room fronts on Commerce street, then
follows the ticket and telegraph office, the
gentlemen's room, baggage room all cut OIL
To themselves, and the freight. room, which
is 23xl31 feet. In the rear OF this is the
freight office. The depot will be completed
and the trains running into it by Monday
week. The track runs east OF the depot and
the crossing on Commerce street is merely
for the purpose of giving the engine ana
tender room TO cut loose from the tram
and cross over, which will leave that street
open and free to travel. The line between
here and Cleburne is being thoroughly bal
lasted and put in first-class condition.

SPEAKING with reference to the absurd
prejudice which exists in British govern
ment circles against the recently begun
but now squelched tunnel under the Eng
iish channel, the New York Mail and. Ex-
press says: "There seems to be no reason
TO believe'tha the two houses.of parliament
will agree to the completion of the Chan
mel tunnel should the project be brought
up for consideration again next year.
Ridiculous as 1t appears to Americans that
Enelishmen should regard the work as
menace to the security OF the nation, a
stronL prejudice against it exists. among
statesmen and soldiers alike, and English
prejudice can never be easily removed.
Doubtless the time will come when Eng
lishmen will laugh at the fears which now
preyent the construction Of a submarine
railway between England and France, but
there is little room for hope that such a
time viii come during the present genera
tion.n

THE Philadelphia Times: the parade
OF the workingmen in New York yesterday,
the notices they bore and the general
spirit manifested were all quite in keeping
with the AmalgamAted Iron association in
Pittsburg the day before, and there can be
no doubt that proper reading Of the signs
of these times touching the labor question
demands the most serious consideration on
the part Of individual manufacturer and
corporations employing great bodies OF
laboring men. The spirit is not now one OF
riot. as Il was a few years ago, but there
seems 10 be a deeper and more widespread
dissatisfaction. True leadership, true ard
lust organized capital are among the great
est temporal blessings Of the world, but I'M
principied bossism is no better in commerce
and manufacture than it Is in politics, and
there are not wanting signs Of very gem

ali departments Of life.

seems manifest that the conference OF our
