A SHOEMAKER SENATOR.

1t may not be generally known that Sena-
tor Henry Wilson, now serving his sixteenth
year in the Senate, and just elected for six
more, used to De shoemaker, and that his
original name was jerry L. Goliath, of Nat
lex, Mass. Those who do not agree with Mr..
Wilson's opinion cannot fail to give him,
credit for having worked his way "onward
and upward with success in which the
suppression or concealment of these opinions
had nothing whatever to do. The Shoe and
Leather Reporter of this week pleasantly re-
fers to Wilson's early career as follows
Goliath worked hard he wanted money
and was determined to have an education,
both at once and that Immediately. He had
worked on farm, as bound boy, near his
native place, until attaining his majority,
where the cravings of his spirit for high bon
ors and distinction had been measurably fill
ed in the renown accorded to the conquerne
hero, for it is beyond dispute that he invari-
ably came off victorious in his encounters
with local DULLES, whose fame ranked in the
mind of the jealous champion, who could
brook no rival. Wonderful stories are told
of Colbath-how he worked or studied all
night, and sometimes unremttingly for thir-
ty-six hours. Once he undertook to make
fifty pairs of shoes without sleep; that job
was taen reckoned q weeks work. Com
mencing on Monday morning, he got as far
as the forsy-seyenth shoe on Wednesday
hight, but the pegs, as they made the circuit
of the sole, had begun to assume the pictur-
esque, zigzag of the Virginia worm fence,
and nothing prevented the smashing of fin
gers save the waning energy with which the
hammer came down while the future Senator
slept. Jerry Goliath afterwards became
very we'll known as Henry Wilson, and man.
ufactured shoes for sometime at Natick on
Lis own account.
Mr.. Wilson's subsequent change of name
was fer reasons satisfactory to and creditable
to himself. and which are of no great interest
to the reader possibly none Of his business.
His political history is well known.

A Remarkable Family of Turks

On Friday. January 81, the floor of our Of
foe trembled under the tread of the largest
client that ever pressed its boards since Mum
& Co. commenced business. Seating himself
at our desk. on a chair las much out of pro-
portion to his bulk as an ordinary baby s
cilair would be to eommon-sized man) this
htse individual explained to us the nature of
aI invention for which lie was DESTROYS to Sc
cure patent. Having transacted his bust
Mas, and created a very unusual sensation
among the numerous attaches of the Office, he
rose to depart. On his way out, our associ-
ate editor adroitly approached him, and sue
ceeded in gaining from him the following
statement, the publication of which, in oar
sober columns, will we are sure, minister to
that love of the marvellous. a trace of which
always remains, even in the most phiosophic
| bosom.
The name of the individual referred to is
| Colonel Ruth Goshen, and he resides at pres
ent in Algonquin, H., He is native of
| Turkey in Asia. and was born among the hills
of Palestine. He is the fifteenth, and last
child (the baby) of family of fifteen-ten
sons and five daughters-sired by patriarch
now 90 years cid, living in the valley of Da-
mascus, and by occupation coffee planter.
This venerable sire weighs, at the present
time, $50 pounds avoirdupois, and his wife,
aged 67, weighs 500 pounds.
The entire family are living, and not one
of them weighs less than 500 pounds. The
Oldest son weighs $50 pounds, and the young
est, our huge client, outstripping them all,
weighs $50 pounds. Not one of the family is
| less than feet in hight, and the Colonel is
| STRIPPING of only feet 8 inces in his stock
ings. He is not al uuduly fat man, is mere
| " what would be called moderately rortly,
and is 33 years DID,
| He was colonel in the Austrian army in
| 1859, and colonel commanding in the Next
can army at the battle of Puebla, May 5th
| 1860, in which the Mexicans were victorious.
| His father at one time resided in Leeds, Eng
| land. but returned to Turkey in 1915.
| The colonel states that there has never
been any sickness in the family to speak Of
ana that all are-so far as he knGws-weil
and hearty. 1t was at Leipsic Germany, that
the colonel met his fate in the person of a
fair ,nodchen. weighing 100 pounds, and 5
| feet inches in hight, and the union has been
blessed with two sons, who give promise of
rivalling their father in stature.
| The colonel is a finely proportional man.
and walks with firm ADD elastic step. He
is as straight an arrow, and has coal-black
eyes. hair. and mustache.

Scarcity OF BRAINs.--Three or four legisla-

correspondence on the. yexed question ,ot
the proper pronunciation OF Latin has passed
between the Latin professors in the Universe
ties o f.Oxford and Cambridge, and a report on
the subject has been issued by the Oxford Phi
biological Society.
This report points out that the real and only
dfffcuity Is in respect to the pronunciation gqf
the consonants. There is no controversy con-
corning the yowels. Every one allows that
the English method of p~ronouncing them s
wholly Incorrect, and that that which uniforms
iy prevails in every. continental country lex
cept Denmark) Is the true and right one. It
fs therefore suggested that the foreign method
should b~e 'generally introduced; that the Latin
long q should have the sound Of q In father,
short a that OF the frsta in papa. that long 6
should be PRONOUNCED Ike Q Gaze, q snort
Lee like the first q In aerial; longs K g in2he,
and short / Ike Elm behslf; long u Hike o iin

ing as at present. -.
In the case of The semi.vowels and consonants
thA report suggests Q cautious policy. 1t is 30
generally acknowledged that the Latin when
copsonanrM was equivalent to the English. y,
that no one can object to Its henceforWard
bearing it's proper sound. But there Is, unfor,
OF the Latin; u or D. Although there are req
soHs for identifying II with The Bngaish 70, yet
scholars OF the first rank dispute the fact. In
an European nations 1t is sounded like the
English D: and In oil the modern l~anguagesfQ
Latin origin the sound of 70 Is unknown. Il Is,
therefore. recommended that while ! Tor ]. as
1t is often incorrectly wrltten) should have the
sound of q in yard, the u Tor ~ should remain
az at present.
m.the mutes (ssys q writer IA the AthSi;
nnsuYn1 there are still greater difficulties
There ts-with all deferencesto Professor Max

Rome ..Ghs and ''g' were hard in elassIcaitmeS

from the original sounds. But by adopting the
hard pronunciation we defeat one OF the prtn-
| cipal objects at which we are aiming, for We
are throwing down one barrier between
continental Scholars and ourselves only to
build up another. For this reason, no change
ia recommended with respect to these two let.
tiers, on account of the slntolerable offsnse'
