Groat Brains in Small Bodies,

IT is curious to remark how unwilling peo-
pie generally are to believe that a person By
much TOO short for a grenadier may yet beia
great man. It is at least equally curious to
note the delight which nature seems to take
in iterating and reiteradng the fact that a
very large proportion of the intellect of the
age are just passed away was lodged with
men who fell short of the middle size. Ma
poleon was scarcely FIVE feet SIX inches In
height, and so very slim in early life as to be
well nigh lost in his boots and his Uniform
Byron was no taller. Lord Jeffrey was not
50 tall. CampbeRand Moore were still short.
er than Jefery, and Wilberforce was less
man than any Of them. The same remark
has been made of the great minds of England
who hourished about the middle of the cen-
tury. One very remarkable instance we
may perhaps exhibit to the reader in a new
aspect
In August Of 1890, SOME wori,men engag4
ed in repairing the Church of ST.. Giles, Grip
plegate, fonnd under the floor Of the chancel
an old coffin, which, as shown by the SEX
toms register, had rested there undistulbed
for hundred and sixteen years. For 4
grown person it was a very small one. It's
length did not exceed fve feet ten inches, and
it measured only sixteen inches across at the
broadest prat. The body almost invariably
stretches after death, so that the bodies of
females of the middle stature an6 under re-
quirc collins of at least equal length; and the
breadth, even outside, did nos come fully to
the average breadth of shoulders in adults-
Whose remains rested in that wasted old cof4
fin?
Those ola man the most truly masculine
in his cast of mind, and the most gigantic IN
intellect, which Britain or the world ever
produced-the defender of the rights of the
people of England; as scholar, first among
the learned of Europe; as poet, not only
more sublime tIran any other uninspired
writer, but, as has been justly said, more fer
tile in true sublimities than all other unin-
spired writers pvt together. The small oil
coffin disinterred from ont the chanceI Of ST.
Giles contained the remains of that John
Milton who died at his house in Bunhill
Fields in the winter of I674-tbe all-power-
full cOntrotersiatiSt, who in the cause OF the
people, crushed the learned Salmasius full in
the view of Europe-the poet who produced

tract. Without hesitation, we saw ,bfs. tbst
before no legal Court and impartial iurv nm
on such testimony, would these men have
been found guilty Of any crime to WIKI
death penalty is by law attached.
Now that the foundation for even pre-
tense Of national danger is broken M, there
shOuld be an end to party vindictiveness-
Let these men be brought to trial: let them
enjoy the advantage Of that benign rresump-
ton upon which civilization insists, that they
are innocent until they are proven guilty let
them have the assistance Of unhampered
counsel, and ofthose rules which the expert
.ence of ages had devised to eliminate the
false witness from the true, and the illegiti-
mate from the legitimate; and If then, bv an
unbiased papel of their ie!Iow-eitizens, they
are found guilty, let them be punished. This
is what humanity has the right to demand
It is what Governments were made to secure.
and what the party in power viii gain moth
ing by refusing. The blood Of these done to
death unjustly viii cry ont from the grave
against the murderers. There is no need of
haste of sending these men to eternity. The
country can well afford to wait ages rather
than witness deed o. injustice committedin
its name.
We appeal to our contemporaries of the
Republican party. We present It as mat
ter of party interest. Do they want this
thing done? Do they want the blood Of
these men in the skirts of their party? Do
they want the memory of a great net ofinius-
tice to hang over them and all with whom
they are, in party bonds, connected2 They
have some influence in this matter, we have
none. It is more their interest than it il
ours. This execution win make more enc
mics to power than it will extinguish It
will excite more hatred than terror. But
are either hatred or terror things which the
welfare Of the country now reuuiras2 We
are aware that there is a cry for blood abrosd
in heland. The spirit of revenge Is awake,
end grasping every thing which can afford the
means of additional excitement. But Is IL
honest, is It even safe blindly to fall into this
current, or actively to feed this flame, which,
none know how soon, may get beyond con-
troll, and erect a memorial for future ages to
