George William Curtis, in an article
in a recent number of Harpers' Bazaar,
entitled as above, says:
"Small men are very large in little
circles. While you are measured only
by your village you are possibly phe-
nomenon. But the town shrinks us all,
and the State is really unkind in the
swiftness of our selfreduction. The
lord of the village town meeting with a
fluent tongue swells suddenly into the
size Of a statesman to the village eye.
Of he goes to the Legislature, and he
finds plenty Of peers. Higher still he
rises to Congress, and he is silent. The
village wonders that its great man has
dwindled so sadly, and that his eloquent
voice is not heard. But the truth is that
the Legislature and Congress have lifted
his lid, and the Yapor of conceit has
escaped. He, too, would have exploded
in the village, but the world has been
his safety-valve. For the higher man
rises the more Immediately he is meas
ured by picked men. The public, we
think. is often deceived, and even pre-
fers gilt TO gold. But the world knows a
great deal about its greatest men despite
the proverb. :, =.

Jefferson and his Fiddle.

Thomas Jefferson, the third President
Of the United States, was very fond Of
playing on the fiddle. He was a vel
come leader among the young people in
Virginia, in his early years, because
skill gave zest to their amusements. He
carried his beloved instrument with him
when he went to Williamsburg, which
was then the capital Of Virginia, to at
tend the sessions Of the Colonial Assem-
bly,; and when be went TO Washington
as delegate from Virginia to the Ma.
tional Congress. II was a chosen com.
panion, also, in Europe, when he was
sent thither in the service Of his country.

amateur performers in America, and
music was an unfailing recreation from
the burdens and anxieties Of public life

where debates are governed BY parlia-
mentary rules that admit of no black

TIE Cincinnati Enquirer says:


We advise Ex-President Andrew John
son not to sllude again TO the murder Of
Mrs. Surratt and to his own RESPONSE
bility for it, unless he can do better
than be did in his late speech at Column
bia, Tennessee. Johnson knows well
enough that the military commission 70
try Mrs. Surratt was an illegal body.
She bad right TO be tried by a civil
court, and before jury of her country
men. She was denied that right, and
placed before military court martial
organized to convict. There was not
particle of evidence against her that
would have amounted to anything before
legal court 1t was Johnson's duty to
have interfered and stopped the murder
either by pardon or by Communication
of the sentence until such time as the
popular madness had abated. When the
ex-President ikens her case TO an ordi-
nary pardon given to a criminal tried
before the courts Of his country and con-
victed, he is guilty Of not making the
analogous distinction which exists be-
tween the two cases. EeeB majority
Of the military court-ifd is proper 70

execution is a foul stigma upon our
