A New Profession.

Two young ladies In this city, says
the New York Sun, are making a great
deal of money in q very novel way.
They are ultra respectable; indeed, they
move in excellent circles. In their
youth their father taught them to play
chess and now they teach the mysteries
of the game and earn between ten thou.
sand and fifteen thousand dollars a
year apiece. They do not teach indi-
viduals; they tutor classes, and these
are generally formed Of six persons,
who pay never less than fifteen dollars
each for a course Of a dozen lessons.
The sisters have classes here, in Phila-
delphia, and in many suburban towns;
they work hard, but they coin n
and they have not hurt their social
Standing. They live well in an elegant
apartment house uptown.

This story shows what Barnum
thought of children: Three years ago,
says the New York Times, when the
show was about to open at the garden,
a most pathetic letter addressed to Mr..
Barnum came from a little nine-year-
old'boy on the East side. 1t was printed
on a scrap OF paper, and is given here
verbatim: Deere Mr.. Barnum, l am

the parade to conform its route to that
sick boys wish, though 1t took 1t four
blocks out of the line originally laid
down.

In they came, a motley crowd, old
