A. Beal was in favor of he córner, Main and Ann streets, they used what little inüuence they had in favor of the Ilamilton bloek. We can't understand why the professors should take such a deep interest in he postoffice location, as they have their mail carried back and forth by a man who is paid by the university to do the work.

It couldn't be possible that any man in this city would attempt to burn up a newspaper for fear of being exposed in kis nefarious practice of dogging unprotected females about the city, and playingblackmailer for half nis and yet- [Daily News.

A. J. Sawyer in behalf of Messrs. Booth and James, had an interview Tuesday with Mr. Lund. Mr. Sawyer fully set forth his reasons why the postoffice should not be moved to the Hamilton block. In the first place a majority of tle business men were opposed to it. And they ought to be consulled in the matter. Thev had invested their money in business blocks, and they receive and send more mail than all the fuculties combined.

The Century Magazine may now be considered fairly started on lts way under the new name, and with the February (Midwinter) number, and the adoption of the new corer-design, by Elibu Vedder, the name of Scribner'i Monthly will no longer be continued as the sub-title. Since the change of name, there ha been a decided increase in the sale of recent numbers of this magazine. The recent growth of St. Nicholas in England has been even greater in proportion; for while 3,000 copies were sufficient there a year ago, 8,000 and 10,000 copies are now needed every month.

The professors have their mail carried to their offices, the state pays for it, and they are ncver obliged to go to the postofflcé. The persons who would be inconvenienced the lenst secm to have the most to say.
