Nothing SO Harrasslng as Greatness.

From the Chicago Times.
Nothing in this country is so har-
fassing as greatness. Lieut.. General
Grant probably finds this true TO the
very letter. He no longer belongs TO
himself, nor has he anything to which
he can claim exclusive right. His
hands are used by the public to shake,
his mouth for responses, and his legs
TO place himself in different positions
10 be stared at. When q few people
get up dog show, they send for
Grant to assist in drawing crowd =
and upon all possible public and pri-
vate occasions Grant is invited and "is
expected TO be present. Committees
use him as a star TO draw paying au-
dienees. Frontier towns inveigle him
into visit ostensibly to do him hon.
or, but really TO get up a benefit for
hotels and whiskey shops. He has no
such thing as privacy. He'is always
environed by the mob. The mob
crawls into his car windows, floods
his sleeping apartments, and steals the
china from his dinner table as memen-
toes. At every step is an ambush from
which the male and female mob poun-
oes on him, the former to bray over
him and twist his tortured hand-the
latter to smother him with bouquets
and kisses.
If the Lieut.. General is not heartily
sick of his greatness, he is more than
human. 1t is greatness which has no
very enjoyable elements. 1t is some
thing which consists in being jammed
and crowded and squeezed; in being
husseled anywhere and everywhere,
like straw on whirlwind /; in being
gazed at, and shaken, and talked to,
and speeched at +; in being deafened
by yelling crowds, and tortured by the
grip of iron fists; in being pounded
by bouquets and kisses of sour old
maids; in finding omnipresent Jenk-
inses looking at the crockery under
his bed, and, note book in hand, in
vestigating the peculiarities of his wa
ter cleset; in being borne hither and
thither without volition; in being
crowded in and pushed out, and thrust
up and jammed down, and twisted
around and bent over, and called for
ward and dragged back, and always
the music of yelling populace, and
brass bands, and minute guns, and
speeches Of welcome. Such is great
ness, and as such most people would
prefer to be anything else rather than
Lieutenant General Grant.

STANDING UPON ET1aUETTE.-The
Prince of Wales won't go to the ma
val feteS at Cherbourg because there
will be no prince Of the blood to re-
ccive him. and the French Minister OF
Marine LaubaD also refuses to 60
because there will be no English Lord
of the Admiralty present. The prin-
ces and statesmen of the Old World
have, it appears, made but little
progress in common sense since the
time of that Spanish King who re-
fused to be saved from the burning
palace because the officer appointed to
care for his person was not there to
attend to his duty.

EL In one Of our courts lately a
man who was called upon to appear
as a witness could not be found. On
the Judge asking whore he was, an ell
derly gentleman rose up, and with
much emphasis said, "Your Honor,
he's gone" Gonel gone said the
judge, "where is he gone" "That
/ canot inform YOU" replied the COM
municative gentleman, "but he's
dead" This is considered the most
guarded answer on record.
