acres of adjacent university lands which he secured in September, 1885 The first monthly payment of royalty was made in October. 1895. MT. J. H Fitts., in a state ment made eleven months ago. Shows that for four years, ending september,l 1898, the total income from the lease of these $40 acres was $17,9944S which was equal to s2S.n per acre for the land, while it ap- peared that not more than one-ffth of the coal had been taken from the land It is now estimated that within eight mx ths tn university will be getting from the two Aldrch leases from $10,O0O to $12, 900 per an- mum, sufficient sum to support three pro- fessors per annum, which demonstrates that the university may expect a very large income from the leases of its coal lands as time rolls on.
 The foregoing transaction shows the great advantage in benefit to the university of the lease system over that of the out the lands donated to that institution. The sale of 44S0 acres of its very best lands If finally consummated will put in the treasury of the university s56,eoO This sum invested at per cent interest will pro- duce an annual income of $S3e0 These leases of 1140 acres will produce, say $li 900 each year. This shows a difference of $7640 per year in favor of the lease system. If it be said that the coal will be ex- hausted in time, then by funding this diff ference for seven years 1t will amount to about $56000, and the university in the meantime would have the advantage of a like sum produced by the interest on S56,- O00

SECOND FIDDLE

By Richard Burton, in the Criterion. Just behind the first fiddle he bends
 To his bow, as slave to the rod All his soul to the music he lends
 All his eyes to the leader, his god. His skill is not blaring, but sure:
 Mark his lowing, the rhythmic accord Of his motions, the sound crystal-pure That he lures from the yiolin's board. The crowd never looked at his face;
 He is one of the sixty who try With wood wind or brass to displace
 The world by a dream from the sky. Not his, like the master of strings,
 To step forth superbly alone And play a Cremona that sings
 With heavenliest tone upon tone. No soloist he, but a part
 In the mignty ensemble that scars In the regions divine of an art
 Where man but asoires and adores His joy is the gIadness of those
 Who feel they are helping the whole; Less fluent the harmony flows
 If an instrument flag, if a soul Unfaithful should be to the best
 Of the baton that bids him be true; Ard the music is oftimes so sweet.
 Small matter what makes 1t, or whos And happy-who knows ?-in the day
 When the ultimate p:ece is Eeheasxaa. Shall come his Great Moment to play, And the fiddle called second. be first.

COUNT VON wALprK EE,s PAY

From the New York Sun.
 A field marshal commanding an army seems to be expensive luxury, or ne- eessity, as the case may be. It is said that Count won Waldersee will receive 2OOO marks, about $500 a month, for his pay as commanding officer; besides this he will have an allowance of 10000 marks month as table money, from which he must pay for his entertainments and also feed his large staff. As field marshal he will re- ceive $75O month (SOOO marks), so that his monthly pay will be about 15,OoO marks. besides e certain number of ratlons His yearly pay vii: be ls;,tte marks.

 The magnificent structures of brick which cover the vacant" famous "Boddie cor ner," at First avenue and Twentieth street, and excite the admiration of the multitude, are beginning to assume the calm dignity of many passing years; and meantime the condition of the sidewalk on the Twentieth street front of this highest-priced property in Birmingham is arousing increasing in- dignation.
