James Russell Lowell seems to have
been drinking of Carlsle's cstern dur
ing his residence in England. At least,
the genial poet who gave US such delight
full pictures AS "AppledOre" few years
since, has turned out veritable Cynic
in his latter sayings and lampOOns the
press without mercy, because some
garbage is sCOoped up in the daily
Omuium- Jherums of the newspapers.
Lowell does not lack sense, nor keen
discrimination of things, and it is I'M
worthy his usual level-beadness to
characterize the body Of daily news as q
sponge saturated from the goose. pond
of villagp gossip" Both he and Tenni-
son seem TO have been bitten by the
same spider. 1t is the beauty OF old age
that it mellows and sOttens rs it ripens.
and not grows sour. From Lowell, bet
ter things were expected.

The state university boasts a larger
attendance at this season of the year
than on any previous year, same date.
The present enrolment is go The
available income is S47 600; about one
half that of the Virginia university en-
dowment and less than One-third the
endowment of Michigan university.
The reason for this lies in the fact that
the university of Texas is almost ex-
clusiyely endowed in unproductive lands
which must wait profitable market be-
fore coming into available use. 10 the
meantime the university suffers for lack
of funds with which to prosecute its
WORK, and that lack should he promptly
met BY an appropriation Of the state
legislature. 1t is useless so think OF
maintaining effective university work
without means, and the state actually
standing sponsor for the school of her
adoption should not hesitate to see that
wise provision IS made for necessities.
So soon as her lands can be leased or
sold, Texas university will leave lib
eral income; one amply sufficient to en-
able her to carry on her educational
work untrammsled. Till then let her
more liberal citizens and her Legislature
see to it that the university is not
starved into uselessness by lack Of funds
to maintain her present chairs respect
ably and provide for such others as her
development demands.

THE battle of the bonnets is waging,
and the scene Of conflict is being trans
ferred from the salon of society to the
dress circle of the opera. From the Lo-

ing a sermon that will In time destroy
the top knot abomination in opera
houses. Now q bonnet of genuine
beauty and grace, worn on the head in

so awful fly, blocking the stage from a
feller's eye, is dreadful, depend upon it.
