swhLLlNG THE PROFESSIONS

The announcement was published Just
the other day that the new members
of the three learned professions, law
medicine and theology, who have gradu.
atcd this year, numbers nearly 5000,

l,0ll, and the ministry, 26G, OF course
these new men in these old professions are
most all young, well educated, rs general
rule, no doubt, and full of ambitiou. They
expect both fame and fortune. II is to be
regretted that 80 many of them will be
most unquestionably disappointed and
end at last by making poor laborors in
other fields, which they will have to enter
purely from necessity, and with II prey-
ously conceived disgust Tor the work-neycr
failing to cherish the idea that good and
great professional man had TO be sacrificed
upon the want of appreciation in
the public. But the fault will rest
entirely ON the other side aud arise, too,
from very PLAIN reasons, which it seems our
most ambitious and best educated youth
will persist in overlooking in their selection
of their vocations for life. The fact is noto.
rious that tho learned professions are over.
crowded, the supply is largely in excess Of
the demand, and the airy, enviable and
roomy place at the top takes years OF time
and thousands of dollars to reach. These
requisites cannot he commanded by the or.
binary young men, who so in to win, and
uponpurcly business principles and upon
simple rational calculations failures in the
majority of cases take the places of success.
What Is true in Texas is true all over the
country. There is no demand aud but
little outlook for anything like speedy
success in law, medicine or the learned
professions generally, None or them in
any of these departments Of labor, however
old or talented, have got moro than they
can attend to, whether in the thickly set.

JOHN BROWNS son WATSON
HIS Burial mt North EIba Twenty-three
Years After His Death.

Oi all the strange and romantic incidents
IN the career OF John Brown and his family,
one OF the strangest was the burial yestel.
day, in this mountain fastness, of that son
OF John Brown, whose body was taken by
Virginia in 1859, as a specimen in anatomy,
and has remained till now unburied. Wat
son Brown, with his older brother Owen,
and his youngest brother Oliver, accom-
panied John Brown 10 the Kennedy
farm In Maryland in the summer of
1899, and mrched down with
him toward Harper's Ferry on the 10th of
October, when he invaded Virginia with
seventeen men, and captured an important
town, which he held in his possession for n
day. owen Brown remained on the Mary
land shore to guard arms and supplies.
while Watson and Oliver went across the
Potomac into Virginia and captured Har-
per's Ferry, under John Browns lead.
| BON these sons retreated with their father
| mo the englne-house, where he was be-
sleged and taken captive by General Lee
who atterward was himself besieged
and taken captive by General Grant,
oliver was shot, and died before
John Brown surrendered but Watson,
though MORALLY wounded before his
fathers face, fingered for day, and died
the morning after the surrender. Perhaps
1t was Tor this reason that the VirGinians
took his dead body to their medical college
at Winchester, not far from Harpers
Ferry, and there prepared it for anatomical
use IN the ollegc-relusing to give it up for
burial to his mother, who asked for it.
Two or tree years later, when Winchester
was occupied by the Union army in the
| civil war; the surgeon OF an Indiana regi-
meht heXrd the story of this barbarity from
the Virginia surgeon who perpetrated it,
and took the body away with him to
Indiana, where it has remained unpoticed
for twenty years. When the surgeon
heard, last August, that the widow of John
Brown was living, and was travelling from
California to the Adirondack mountains TO
visit her husbands grave, me felt some com
FUNCTIONS OF conscience, and wrote to her
ouerllg TO give up The remains of her son
Tor burial. The poor mother accepted the
oller with JOY, and aitc: her son, John
Brown, lr had satisfied himself bv a visit
to Indiana that the body OF his brother was
really there, he carried ii to Mrs. Brown, at
his own home in Ohio, and from there il
was brought to this town for burial. NORTH
