EDUCATION FOR A PROFESSION. No
where is the advantage of thorough
common-school education more clearly
demonstrated than in the lives of our
professional men.
A man is only capable of using higher
branches of knowledge with clear I'M
derstanding, when he has thoroughly
mastered the fundamental principles
which form the foundation of all learn
ing.
Yet the number Of men in The pro-
fessional ranks who are deficient in
knowledge of the three Rs is remark
able.
The trouble with many Is, that they
have allowed the study of the classics
and the acquisition of s.gentlemanly
knowledge TO crowd out the common
school studies This evil is fostered by
the present custom of hurrying youths
through the high schools and into col
lege at the earliest possible age, regard
less Eof the fact that fundamental
studies are merely SKINNED over.
In every day life these persons are
often the object Of ridicule from the
aspect of Learned ignorance which
they present.
A lawyer or doctor aside from his
classical and professional education,
should have thorough English educa-
ton He should read well. spell well
and write we'll He should thoroughly
understand arithmetic and the geogra-
ply of bis own and familiar countries.
A familiarity with the dead languages
and classics is not essential to mans
success as Practitioner or as a gentle
man and may be dispensed with, but
reading, writing and spelling can
never be.
Then let every young man who in
tends professional career remember
the great Importance of his grammar
and high-school work in his future life,
and that the present opportunities viii
never return. Contributed.

The Post entertainment was a success
and big one. There were about five
hundred people in the hall and every

tables were loaded about p. M. with

Pork and beans there were in album
dance but the hard tack was con-

they were enclosed in glass case

uniform and their music and appear
ance were material aid to the success
of the entertainment. The vocal music
by the choir was rendered with a taste
and feeling which does honor to the
musical talent of the village. Mrs. DIR.
Lewis was organist. After the tables
were cleared Capt Young was
called out, and made one of his usual
happy speeches, alternately convulsing
his audience with laughter and bring

humorous or pathetic anecdotes. Then

The DUDE.-We clip the following
from the Madison State Journal. They
have evidently found out that the Dude
is not live elephant, but only the
skin, trunk, tusks &c, of real Africa n
Elephant, with men inside.
IAN ELEPHANT on SKATES. Two
young men from Lancaster, - Wright
and Hyde by name. have real nov
city in the line of roller-skating. which
will well repay any one to see. 1t con-
sists of a very realistic representation
of an elephant on skates. The two
chaps own an elephants hide, tail,
trunk and all. into which they crawl,
the legs of the young men filling the
empty legs of the hide. Upon their
feet, which are protected from sight by
the overlapping hide. they attach
skates, and away the Elephant goes,
big as life. The representation is ex-
cellent and highly ludierous, and never
fails to convulse an audience. The oc-
cupants of the hide are good skaters
and the tricks that the great elephant
performs are simply wonderful. The
palm-leaf like ears have the same lazy
motion which is so well-known in the
live elephant, while the tail is whisked
around with characteristic energy and
spite. The representation appeared at
the King street roller-rink yesterday to
delighted audience. and exhibitions
will be given both tomorrow afternoon
and evening

The Hog Market

The Hoo Market
The hog market in Chicago has suf-
fered decline the past week of 35c(G
4Oc, the principal cause seems to be the
very large receipts. The receipts are
about 81 900 hogs more than the week
previous, and if any difference the
quality is not as good The decline in
prices surprises a great many for our
exports continue fair, being nearly
double the, corresponding week last
year, and since the 1st of November to
date they show gain over last year Of
1000, 900 TBS of produce, or equal to
nearly $4,000 hogs Thus there seems
to be no reason for the decline in prices
as our increased exports will more than
offset the increased packing. The
home receipts being small, home buyers
did not get pounded as they would
have been if earlier in the season.
-
Tuesday, Feb. 24-Receipts at Chica-
go 10000 hogs; prices 5(a1oc lower.
Sales ranged at 4.35(94.70 for light,
4 4o(94.7o for rough packing and 1850
5.15 for heavy shipping. Number of
hogs on the home market 81
Wednesday, Feb Estimated re-
ceipts at Chicago $4,000; prices weak
and 10(615c lower Lancaster receipts

choice.

day; prices 15(G20c lower. Lancaster
receipts II hogs, and buyers wishing
they were less.
-.
Friday, Feb. 81 Chicago receipts
$4,000 and the market fairly active at
unchanged prices. Receipts at this
point 6.
Saturday, Feb. 28.-Prices still off in
Chicago, being 5(010c lower. Receipts
of hogs not quite so heavy, being re-
ported at $4,000. Home market re-
ceipts reported as being 5 hogs.
-
Monday, March Chicago receipts
of hogs reported at 5000. The market
remained at Saturdays closing, but dull
and weak. Sales made at 3 S5(a4. 10
light, 4.15(@4.4o rough packing, and
4.50G4.S0 for heavy shipping. The

A MIsTAKE.-The report that the
cuts and border used on that auction
bill printed at the Teller Office were
borrowed from the Herald, is without
foundation. 1t probably arose from
the fact that in getting new material
they have exactly duplicated some of
bills as closely rs possible. We would
say in this connection however, that
we have just purchased considerable
new and expensive material, and any
one who wants bill that is first class
in every respect can get it at the HER
