COMPARED with their more active contempora.
ries, bookworms are at an undeniable discount.
Even the intellectual feats they accomplish are less
successful in tho worlds eyes. Yet. without ut
tempting to defend tho inequality Of the justice
sound reason why, oven from an intellectual point
| of view, tho bookworms life is often deservedly
unsuccessful. 1t is not easy to give an exact de-
finiton Of what is usually meant by genius; but it
is not the less true that genius, as the world un-
derstands the term, is not 80 often found among
the narrow tide Of bookworms as it is in the world
outside. Genius is nothing unless it can produce.
And it Is mistake to suppose that books alone
will teach student to do this. Nor will solitude
and isolation from the society Of others, however
necessary as tho means Of consolidating and
beating into shape thoughts which arc sooner or
later to be given to the world, supply tho place of
must be acquired by the mind from outside, and
not from inside, and tho spirit that does moth
ing but feed on itself, and spin cobwebs out
OF it's own bowels, remains impoverished and
thin, and seldom contributes much to tho per-
manent wealth Of mind. The highest kind Of
genius is that which is alive to, and continually
impregnatng itself with, the feelings and thoughts
OF others. It gathers the flying seeds Of its time,
and adds to them the seeds which it derives from
books. It Is keenly susceptible to every human
influence, and its power Les, not in creating its
own fuel but in tanning its collected fuel into a
fame. The greatest and mostIimperishable au-
thors are not pure inventors. SHAKESPEARE and
HOMER are debtors, to IN incalculable extent, TO
the verses, the thoughts and the histories of the
obscure army of unknown poets who preceded
them. They did not, as it has beon said, "wakc
up some fine morning" and find themselves preg-
nant with great drama or great episode. An
infinite amount of human labor had gono before,
which they converted into their own capital. They
borrowed probably from innumerable sources. All
that they had read, as well as all that they had
ever seen, went into the mill, and what genius did
was only to turn the wheel and make the grain
into -four. Sympathy and recoptivity are, then,
necessary parts OF genius, and these arc qualities
which bookworms oftencst want for they are
qualities which require to be nourished and fcd by
mixing in tie common life of the ago to which
man is born.

Wherever he settles the aborignes are said 70 dis

crease Of the population had already taken place
beSre the white man came. The white man
noticed it, but could not stop it. Populous tribes
whom saw for second time, and who had seen
no white man aud his fiery water, have decreased;
and this decrease took place before the terrible
plague that desolated the land had made its ap-

the decrease Clans in the lifetime OF old men

Green Bay, direct, passing from Green Bay through
the Lower Fox River, Lake Winnebago and the
Upper Fox to Portage City, and thence through
the Wisconsin River 10 Prairie du Chien. The
difficulty Of navigating the Wisconsin in low water
is the chief trouble. Congress has, however, ap-
propriatsd $4,000 to the survey Of the river and
the surveyors report that it can easily be made
serviceable by wing dams and dredging. II per-

evening, sent letter, iui Of the right
counsel and the true spirit for the crisis
Admitting the recent loses, and especially
bewailing the detection n Ohir, e would

Asserting his f"itl, in the people and in
the final triumph of the right cause, he
points, us sagaciOuS republicans everywhere

Il have not doubted that the illusrous

say to my republican comrades of New

their presidential candidate the electoral
votes of thirty Of the thirty-seven
states, more than three million Of popular
votes, and more than half II million pop
ul"r majority, and "A Congress with Il two.
thirds majority in both houses. Fighting
on that line the battle Of equal rights and
privileges Of citizens Of the United States,
ee four years have passed, the sublime
creed embodied by our fathers in the
Declaration of Independence will become
the vital animating and living faith Of
the nation. Then the republican party,
made up Of men with the personal faults.
weaknesses and selfish ambitions Of human,
ity, will have made record for country,
for the poor, for the oppre sed, for the
hated and despised, never surpassed by
any political organization recorded iii

eSThe news from Italy is not very III
CT in its details, but it is easy to gather
from It the general idea that tn. move
ment against Rome is continually gaining
strength. The entire press Of Italy favors
the seizure of Rome by the government
the party Of action is daily increasing in
numbers several encounters with the
p'pal troops have resulted in their easy
defeat, AMI the final blow that thall give
Rome to Italy and destroy forever the
temporal power OF the pope is evidently
close at hand. Garibaldi has issued
several more proclamations, and has ap-
pointed his son, Menotti, commander in.
chief of the insurgcnt forces. Eazzini has
also issued a manifesto exhor,ing the
Italian patriots in Rome to rise and pro-
claim republic. The impression is be-
coming stronger all the time that the
king of Italy and the Emperor Napoleon
will not interfere, and certainly il they
seriously intended to, they would not have
allowed the movement to reach the
strength and prestige it has already oh,
tanned 1t would not be surprising if the
capture Of the Holy City should be an
nounced any days and if the pope cam
not bear to live there after his temporal
power has passed away, he will have to
accept the asylum offered him in Spain,
by government that would gladly help
him retain his power, if it could.
