DrC,PTrArED COLLEGES.

Since the resignation Of President PoR'
TER of Yale. there are fifteen colleges in
this country without presidents. Some Of
the papers say that the decspitsted eond;-
ton of 30 many of institutions Of learning
is the result of the general Broadening OF
the human intellect in these days and the
consequent difficulty Of securing able'men
willing to tie themselvesin positions where
the mental action is no. perfectly free.
This may be true to some extent, but
there is some other reason Tor this condi-
ton. These colleges call for the best tai
ent in the land, and they wish to accept
nothing less. In these times Of active
competition, when every position in pro-
fessionsl life must be commended for and
gained almost through q death struggle,
there is no scarcity of men fitted
to FILL the various professional positions.
But men of ability command the best
wages and generally accept the best they
can get. While our colleges ask for the
best talent, they are only willing to pay
for Q third rate or fourth rate man, and the
time seems to be at hand when they must
either offer fair compensation or be salts
fed With inferior men.
It's notorious TACT ths. when tie peO-
pie employ labor they expect to get it
for less than half its worth, and for
nothing Il they eaa. Should an
individual act in this way,
the people would be on 3 strike forthwith

A SOUTHERN journal publishes the opln-
ions Of an old undertaken concerning the
status of his trade. He says thatthe poor
men die in summer and the rich men IN
the winter. The cause given for this Is
that in summer the rich take life, easily.
They keep in the shade and spend their
time at summer resorts where they get
plenty of fresh air. The poor remain at
home. They work in the sun, hive IN hot
rooms and enervaie themselves until they
Iose their health aud die. Then poor Peo-
PIE have more children than the rich, and
the mortality among children Is greater
duriog the summer than at any other sea-
son of the year. During the WiOIer the
rich crowd into oyerhestei and badly ven
hlatsd theatres When they come out
they take cold. They attend balls and wine
parties and lose sleep. They are more ex'
posed in cold weather than the poor. In
every city the undertakes have their best
paving custom in the winter.
