hence all men are equal" The "learned
Theban' is slightly mistaken. All
men are not exactly equal. Shakes
peare assures US that some men are
born great, that some achieve great
ness, and that some have greatness
thrust upon them. Now, Shakespeare
knew a great deal more about human
nature than Sumner-particularly of
white human nature. Besides, all men
are not quite equal in courage. Some
persons resent an assault with all the
vigor that the manly art of self-de.
fense permits while others take fog.

DEv1LIsH PERsoNAL.-But as it
comes from loi lady, there must be
more truth than poetry in the charge.
AT q recent Woman's Rights Conven-
tion in Washington, Mrs. Livermorc
paid her respects to Grant and Yates.
She told how, when engaged in
hospital work during the war, she
needed the signature OF the Governor
Of the State of Illinois TO some docu.
ment, and after going TO several
places, could not find him. Finally
the hackman said he could find him,
and took her to a liquor saloon. He
went in and found the Governor, but
told Mrs, Livermore that she must 20
in, for be could not come out. She
went In, aud there behind green
screen, that too many persons might
not see him, she found the Governor
Of the great State Of Illinois, all in n
heap, dead drunk. afterwards he ,Cas
sent 10 Congress as a Senator, for sir
years. At a later stage she needed
the signature Of another officer at the
seat Of war, and could not find him
besause he was of on one of his
sprees. Afterwards he iCas made that
man President Of the United States.
