THE Big STONE MAN.-The cOun-
try is profoundly agitated at present
over the discovery made near Syracuse
of q sphinx. 1t was dug up two feet
from the surface out Of alluvial soil,
and science and speculation are in doubt
whether it be a fossil Indian giant which
has laid for cons so near the sunlight,
or a mass Of crudeIy Chisled stone
from a neighboring quarry buried tn Fs
some years ago by Il half-crazed stOne-
cutter, who was known to be emulOus
Of the fame Of Michael Angelo. Pend
ing the adjustment of these opinions
the fortunate finder has erected a tent
over the sphinx, and savans and Cler.
gymCn who come focking from the
most distant regions with ar, he0l' giCal
and antiquarian zeal, are charged fifty
cents a head, and "they takes their
choice" One OF the latter has publish
ed his impressions, and says: "NOne
but the greatest of artists could have
formed and wrought out the cOnceP-
ton Ofthat stately head, with its calm,
grand smile, so full of mingled sweet
ness and strength" This is, no doubt,
all true enough; but we would advise
future rhapsOdists who visit the sphinx
To notice the calm, grand smile Of the
man whOexhibits, and who has already
made between three and five thousand
dollars out Of the little game.-TNeW

The Republican majority in the
State of New York, excluding New
York city and Brooklyn, was about
81, 900 at the late election, but those
cities gave over $4,000 Democratic
majority, swallowing up the Republi-
can majority in the country, and leav-
ing surplus of about $4,000, The
n. Y. Tribune estimates that not less
than $4,000 Illegal Democratic votes
were polled in that city, though the
Democratic majority was over 10000
less than last year.

from Egypt for the purpose of explora-
ton and conquest in Central A frica.

PLUCK AND PLOD.-There can be
no true business man without pluck,
and that other thing expressed by
that old Saxon word "plod." There
was never a brilliant genius in the
world who did MT owe his true sue
cess to being a plodder also. II is ali
very well for genius to cOruscate, but
it is pluck and plOdding that carry a
man up to the great heights Of life
These two words, pluck and plod, are
the key-words to success.
