Great Men.

"The Democrat Of the Dinner Table
is writing some capital things for the New
York alias. The following is specimen.
Great men are not much after all
With all they accomplish, with all the
marks they make upon the age in which
they live, when they die lhe- world seems
to go on its course Just as well without
them. They are not missed beyond the
day Of their funeral 10 be sure, we
love to talk of them, applaud their deeds
and gloriiv their names; but we only do
it that we may detract from the mer'
it of those who are living Those
great men, who imagine themselves the
earth, generally go into the earth as fresh
as if thew had never been soaked In the
brine Of fame.
It's the nature of man to banker after
strange gods; he likes to set up something
of his own to worship, to applaud, to
apostrophize. Great men answer the
purpose. We get them up, and when,
like children, we get tired of the toys OF
which we thought we would never tire,
we knock 'em down, and get others in
their stead. We all know how mnch less
we think of a great statesman after we
become acquainted with him. A stran.
ger, he seemed colossus, a something
not exactly Of our species, wonderful
what is it? The connecting link between
humanity and the gods. But as an &C
qualntance, and with us in our every day
walks, the colossus becomes a man o
commanding stature, and laughs at oul
folly in having imagined him TO be any

THE OLD SONG.


BY MRS. L. A. X. BRoSS.
Oh, sing again the dear old strain
Ny mother sang to me,
When holy rays, of earlier days,
Cleaned through our threshold tree!
The sunset low, in purple glow,
Crept DER tile sunded sill;
SuE fingered there, in that old chair
Motherl | see thee still.
The low -eaved roof. with mossy woof,
And creepers trailing DER;
The story long, the dear old song,
Beside that oaken door.
The eyes that shone, the melting tone
OF that sweet voice still come,
With silvered hair and plaintive prayer
Blest memories of my home!
Long years have fled, the vines are dead
And withered that old tree;
And never more, beside THAT door,
VII mother sing to me!
But golden CLEANS of hallowed themes
Will linger to the last;
/ cherish still, with S cred thrill.
The ASHES of the past
Then sing again hat dear old strain
My mother sang to me,
When holy rays, Of earlier DAYS,
Cleaned through ourlhresholi tree.

A Mask well Preserved,

The Gazette des Tibunaur has the fol-
lowing: Several Of the men employ ed
in quarry at Montmar're, went few
days ago, to public house at that place
to breakfast. and when they left, the land
lord detected one Of them carrying off
beneath his apron a bottle of liquor
which had not been paid for. He gave
him into the custody of police officer,
and the thief was taken before the Com
missary Of Police of the district. The
prisoner on being asked his name said,
IL am Calharine B-l" "Calha
ripe! why that is woman's name!"-
"And | am woman, though for long
time past l have been working as quar-
ryman, and was previously Garcon to a
public. house keeper" Shorlely after,
one of the quarrymen called to beg that
the man might be released, as he had
only taken the bottle by joke, and as his
companions were ready to pay for it.
"rhe man! why the prisoner is womanl'
was the answer. "That cant be-" said
the other, "inasmuch as for more than
year he has slept in the same bed with
me, and in room in which there were
several other men; and if he had not been

She stated that some years back she was
condemned to two years Imprisonment
for robbery at Lyons, and that on hel
release she assumed the male constume
Three years ago she came to Paris, and
got employment as garcon in public
house in the Rue de Charonue, and stop

Afterwards she obtained similar place a

The people of Geauga county are
justly indignant at the manner in which
they have been victimized by Cleveland
jour printer, who has been giving "blind
man entertainments in that section
Covering his eyes with hideous green
goggles and hiring small boy to lead
him, he goes through the country with
small panorama and collection of pup
pets. In his bills he makes touching ap-
peals to the community to ''help poor
blind man, 'and usually draws full houses.
The joke of the thing-if there is any
joke about its this, he isn't blind at all.
People in the provinces" will do we'll
to look out for the bogus blind man. He
forgot himself at Burton the other night,

NE Ex President Pierce has written a
letter to B. F. Hallet, one Of the seeding
Massachusetts delegates. The EXPIRES
ident sees nothing but Encouragement n
the present distracted condition of the
democratic party. lie writes down his
gloomy thoughts and forebodings after this
fashion,:
1t was vain to hope for harmony after
the action of the majority upon the re,
port of the committee on credentials. II
could hardly have failed to be understood
generally, that such action must termin.
ale the existence Of the Convention as ;
body representing the democracy of thu
Union, and eventuate in the present con
dition of the powerful and patriotic or
ganization which has so long upheld the
equal rights, and vindicated in peace anc
in war, the common honor of these con
federated States. There has been, il
fact, no nomination made in conformit,
with the established and recognized usa'
ges of that organization. and hence sount
and faithful men will find nothing in tn
proceedings, so far as the nominees ar
concerned, to bind their party fealty.-
| Under these circumstances it would graf
| ify me exceedingly if our friends in al
sections of the land could unite earnestly
and cordially in the support ofMr, Breck
inridge and Gen. Lane, and thus ensure
for our cause signal victory; but this can
not even be hoped for.

Not much was done on the 9Th Senate not in

and an effort made to repeal an act to provide
for the permanent location Of the State Capital.

cape from having his head broken by piece of
falling plastering. He offered a resolution TO
appoint competent person to examine the wall
and remove such particles as were dangerous,
and liable 10 break members heads 1t passed
Much talking and little work was done on the
Sth, in either branch. In debate on Capital
removal Mr. Lawrence remarked that the people
of the State had "big disgust" for all such
foolish excitement and waste of time. On the

of at length in the House, and bill introduced
for establishing PaUnbrokcr's shops, (not for the
benefit of Legislators.) No important business

So far as all these boyish threats of disunion
are concerned, upon the contingency Of the

plain for proper stage effect [ do not know
what others may intend but for myself, if Wise

the General in such cause, as some of their
friends intimate, and which am unwilling to
believe, they will turn out ADLER strategists than
they have proven themselves statesmen if they
manage to keep their necks out of the halter

worth of the country, will rule the country and

INDIAN HosTuITIEs.-The Indians have taken
possession of the Bald Hill country in Humboldt
county. A Lydesville correspondent of the
Times says the same bands of Indians sent to the
numbering citizens, killing stock and destroying
homes, and that if some cfiectual remedy is not
forthwith applied the frontier settlements of the
county will be soon depopulated. The writer
argues that the facts are known TO those whose
place it is to render protection to the settlers and
that it is the duty of Government while they pay
taxes on their property, TO protect them from the
incursions of the red devasators that they have
fought Indians, been robbed by them, and paid
taxes, until financially, they are about par
with the Indians. Surely it is a depIorable state
of affairs at this late day.
