ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 26.-The arrival
Of Lieut.. Brumby, of the Olympia,
Wednesday night to receive his formal
welcome into the city and his native
state, was the signal for noisy and
enthusiastic demonstration. A special
Train on the Western & Atlantic
brought him from his home at Mari
eta, Ga, 20 miles from Atlanta,
where he went Tuesday to spend
a short time with his mother and
relatives. Wednesday night he was
given a reception at the Capital City
club and Thursday the presentation Of
the sword from the people of Georgia
took place. she ceremony occurred in
front of the state capitol and the
sword was presented by Gov. Gambler.
Brumby and the reception committee
then went to the reviewing stand on
Peachtree street, where the military
parade, made up of troops from all
parts of Georgia and many adjoining
states, was witnessed. The lieuten-
ants family are guests of the city dur

SALARIES OF PROFESSORS.
The Pay of Many in Scotland Is So
High as to Cause Sur
prise.

The lists have been formally opened
for candidates to the chair of physiol-
ogy in the University of Edinburgh left
vacant by the death of Prof. Ruther-
ford. a number of quite distinguished
names have already been presented.
The emOluments of the chair are Off
cially announced ut $1,000 per annum,
says the Medical Record.
Not a few of the Scotch chairs are
surprisingly well paid. The chair of
anatomy in Edinburgh, by dint of va
rious hereditary" grants and dues,
which have been accumulated, is re-
ported to be worth $4,000 per annum.
Several chairs in both Edinburgh and
Glasgow draw from $4,000 to $4,000,
and even in Aberdeen, far north as tbs,
number of the chairs, both scientific
and medical, run about 5000.
In spite of our huge donations and
legacies to universities and colleges,
we are really falling behind in America
n the matter of salaries, for, much to
my surprise, / find that the class of
teachers who with us are getting S., 500
to 81 1000 land there are few enough of
any class at the latter igure) receive
in England from $4,000 TO $4,000. Even
the German universities are becoming
more liberal, for when in Berlin this
summer several privat dOcents inquired
as to the supposed large salaries in
America, and were greatly disappoint-
ed when they learned their real figure.
The leading chairs in the University
of Berlin are worth from $4,000 to
$4,000 year, chiefly from share in
| students fees.

BANDS ON BATTLE FIELDS.
Music Has an Inspiring Eject ana
Aids in DispelIinE Wearf-
ness on the March.

The utility of music in matters per-
tanning to war is probably one of the
greatest forces. At the present day, in
all the armies of the world, musical war
signals are considered not only use
full, but absolutely indispensable. The
infantry drill regulations of many
countries give the music and signif-
canoe of more than 60 trumpet signals
calls of naming, of assembling, of
alarm, of service and so on-besides a
dozen or more drum and fife signals,
all of which is a definite language to
soldiers.
But its use is not merely confined to
signaling, for music is used in other
ways for purposes of war. In the way
of dispelling WEAKNESS on the march
nothing is equal to the music of brass
band. Lord Wolseley, says Pearsons,
has remarked that troops that sing as
they march will not only reach their
destination more quickly and in better
fighting condition than those ~ho
march in silence, but, inspired bs' the
music and words of the national S01g,
will feel that self-confdence which is
the mother of victory"
Probably savages are the most sus-
ceptible to the warlike feeling inspired
by certain class of musis. 1t arouses
their anger, incites their fanaticism.
and by accompanying their war dances
in time of peace it arouses their lust
of war. For this reason it is among
warlike nations that early music was
most developed.
The German army includes more than
10000 military musicians. Other power
full nations on the continent employ
rather less numbers in military bands.

MOTHER-IN-LAW DISSOLVED.
An ImpecuniOus Artist Who Went
Cleopatra, Serpent of the Nile,
One Better.

When the engagement was in its first
quarter Wagers painted the portrait of
his mother-in-law-elect, says the New
York World. He had never done any
thing better in an artistic sense, and
his friends gave him credit for unex-
pected diplomacy. The course of true
love seemed strewn with roses, and the
picture had the place of honor in his
studio. Then, all at once the bride-to-
be was whiSlled off to Europe and Wa
gers found himself Tilted man.
For littlelwhile he was inconsolable.
Then he raried his spirits and spread
a feast for The boys in the old den.
When the champagne sparkled in the
glasses the speeches began, but, with
rare delicaey, the subject of his recc
masterpiece was not mentit
