PeculiarIties Of Great Nleu

Although the theories OF tho world are not at
one Concerning the origin OF great men, some
claiming that those who manage the most sue
cessfa.ly TO steal the current IDEAS OF their own
time are the really great men, and others that
such men are raised mp only for emergencies, 1t
seems to 6e generally supposed that great men
must be peculiarly original, and must eat and
drink, and wear their night-caps differently from
ether ynortals. Accordingly there have not been
wanting ohroniclsrs to give rs the minutest de-
tails OF the lives and habits OF men OF genius.
Ut the Judges OF England for the last three
centuries, body OF men whose intellectual pow.
ers may not be mentioned without reverence,
many have been OF the bumbIest origin, and
distinguished from boyhood BY peculiar natural
gifts. The celebrated Lord Stowell, and Lord
Eldon, brothers, were the sons OF "coal.htter,
and Lsrd st. Leonsrds, one OF the greatest com.
mon.lsw lawyer, was the son OF barber. Lord
North, the celebrated Lord Keeper of the Seals,
WAS most accomplished musician, and very
fond Of manly sports, being an excellent swim
mer and capable Of living in the water for an en-
tire afternoon. He was dullard at school,
Among the worlds commanders it is noticeable
that some Of the most distinguished achieved
their greatest successes early IN life. Alexander
the Great began his career OF conquest ct the
age of twenty, and died at thirty one. Napole-
on L.. was general of the Italian army at TWEEN
ty.six, and made emperor at thirty.fve. Charlie.
magne began his extensive wars at thirty. AT
the age of eighteen, Charles the XII. had already
obtained distinction on the field. The enemy's
bullets seem to be the least dangerous to the
smallest men, and it has been remarked that
therefore small men are more likely to obtain
distinction as commanders than their contempo-
raries whose physical frames are larger. - The
fact that the great Nelson was feather-weight
added not little to his greatness, for he was 30
small that he was very hard to hit, q fact which
French riaeman who repeatedly shot at him
from the lnaintop OF an opposing vessel, scknowl-
edged after his death.
is peculiar organization: lie is being with .
pre-dirposition which with him is irresistible
bent which no cannot in any way avoid wheth.

RIVER, BUSINESS, MISCELLANEOUS.
The river is rising slowly here. and is
now twenty-nine feet five inches below
high water mark. Incessant rains above
has caused the river to again commence
swelling at Cairo. st. Louis kilograms
report a steady decline. We may, how
ever, confidently expect a rise of nearly
foot at that point, as the rain poured
down there and at different points above
for nearly forty-eight hours. A rise in
the Missouri, as well as its tributaries,
and the upper Mississippi and tributaries,
is anticipated. The Ohio is stationary
at Pittsburg and below there TO Gpcin-
natl, and falling slowly al louisville.
Reports from the various points on that
stream state that heavy rains have fallen,
indicating rise of no small magnitude.
The Cumberland, Tennessee, Wabash
and all other tributaries of the lower
Ohio are rising. White river is rising,
with nearly eight feet to Jacksonport.
The upper Arkansas is also rising; there
is about FIVE feet from Little Rock out.
Rain fell nearly all day yesterday; to-
day it is cloudy and damp. Business at
the wharf is active, with about a dozen
boats loading and discharging.
LouIsyIILE, December l2-There is
five feet three inches water in the canal,
and three feet three inches in the chute.
The river is falling slowly. The Their

murdered woman confirms this state
nicni, us 1t was torn in several places,
Officers Mccormack and Mcfarland ar
rested Sullivan at his house on Sunday
morning, and arrested McRoberts in the
alley, between Mares saloon and the
0vorton Hotel, he having been pointed
out by Sullivan. To-day Pat Sullivan
and other witnesses were before the
grand jury, when the facts concerning
the murder we're, no doubt, revealed.
We know that the confession will,
or has been made. When Van
Roberts was brought by the Off
GERS into the room where the body was
lying, he approached the corpse and
kissed the dead woman on the check,
and was terribly affected. Roberts lives
on plantation, on the Hollyford road,
some six miles from the city. j. Ii.
Savage lives on an adjoining plantation.
In this connection it may be well to re-
collect that, some time since, Elisha
Roberts, brother to the man arrested,
was sent to the penitentiary on the
charge of burning the house Of his
brother (the man now arrested) in order
to secure an insurance policy, issued by
the Planters Insurance Company of this
city; and that boy, an important wit
ness for the State on this trial Of Elisha
Roberts, had his eye shot out by some
party unknown while the trial was in
progress.
STILL LATER.
Coroner Moffatt, at IL m. to-day, with
DR.. White, went to the room where the
murder was committed, and found
broken chair, and several spots of blood
ON the carpet, between the table and the
door leading out to the porch. The
pieces Of carpet were cut out and will be
examined by chemist. This link con-
clusively proves that the woman did not
commit suicide, but was foully murdered.
