Great Men

We always think of great men as in
the act of performing the deeds which
gives them renown, or else in stately
repOse, grand, gloomy, and majestic.
And yet this IS hardly fair, because
even the most gorgeous and magnifi-
cent of human beings have to bother
themselves with the little things of
life which engage the attention of US
smaller people. No doubt Moses
snuffed and got angry when he had a
severe cold in the head, and if fly
bit his leg while he was sitting in the
desert, why should we suppose he did
not jump and use violent language and
rub the sore place? And Cesar, is
it not tolerabie certain that he used to
become furious when he went upstairs
to get his slippers in the dark and
found that Calpurnia had showed
them back under the bed so that he
had to sweep around wildly for them
with the broom-handle And when
Solomon cracked his crazy bone, is it
unreasonable to suppose that he hop
ped around the room and looked mad
and felt as if he wanted to cry? I'm
agine George Washington sitting on
the edge of the bed putting on a clean
shirt, and growing at Martha because
the buttons were of; or st. Angus
tine with an apron around his neck
having his hair cut; or Joan of Are
holding her front hair in her mouth,
as women do, while she fixed up her
back hair; or Napoleon jumping out
Of bed in a frenzy to chase q mosquito
around the room with a pillow; or
Martin Luther in his night-shirt try
ing to put the baby to sleep at two
o'clock in the morning; or Alexander
the Great with the hiceuls; or Thom-
as Jefferson getting suddenly over a
fence to avoid dog; or the Duke of
Wellington lying in bed with the
mumps; or Daniel Webster abusing
his wife because she hadn't tucked the
cover in at the foot of the bed; or Ben
jamin Franklin pairing his corn with
8 razor; or Jonathan Edwards at
the dinner-table wanting to sneeze
just as he gets his mouth full of hot
beef; or Noah standing at his window
at night throwing bricks at a cat

Trip and Kitty.

Little Trip is q black and tan dog
he is pretty old dog now, and looks
as if he would need to wear spectacles
pretty soon, for his eyes are growing
dim. Still, as little Trip has never
learned to read and write, perhaps he
will never need to wear glasses. He
can bark just as well as he could
when he was young; he seems to be
very fond Of it, for he barks from
morning till night. Trip is very par.
ticular about his eating, but when he
begins to eat anything he does not
fancy, all his mistress has to do to
make him finish it is to call Kitty. II
Trip sees Kitty coming, he immedi-
ately growls little at her, and fin
ishes the bit himself, rather than lei
her have it.
Did you ever see any children act
like this?
But Trip is very polite to Kitty, un-
less she interferes with his breakfast.
The other day grandma put Kitty and
her four baby kittens into Trips bed
by mistake. Trip lies on the lounge
in the sitting-room all day, but al
night he sleeps in the wood-house in
nice box. So just think how. little
Trip felt one night when he was very,
very tired, barking all day at the
butcher, and the baker, and the doc
tor, and everybody else who passed
by, to go out to his nice little bed and
find it all full-five in a bedl Old
Mrs. Kitty and four little kittens all
fast asleep there, as snug as you please.
Trip wagged his tail and barked
with all his might, but the little kit
tens took no notice at all, feeling per-
fectly safe with their dear mamma
and Mrs. Kitty just opened her eyes
and looked lazily at Trip, as much as
to say, "It's no use, Mr.. Trip, grand
ma put us here, and here we shall
stay" And Trip, after looking at
them few moments, seeming to say
to himself, "What can't be cured
must be endured, I" hunted about until
he found nice box and there he slept
soundly all night.-Our Little People

Ihe langer of Net Coax

People who prefer wetting the win
ter's store ofcoal to the dust on put
ting it in their cellars do not, perhaps.
EnOw that they are laying up for
themselves a store of sore throats and
other evils consequent upon the prac-
tice, even the fire damp which es-
eapes from coal mines from the slow
decomposition of coal at temperatures
of but little above that of the atmos-
phere, but under augmented pressure.
By wetting a mass of freshly broken
coal and putting itinto warm cellar,
tie mass is heated to such a degree
that carburetLed and sulphuretted h, =
drogen are given of far long Ieri,;ds
OF time, and pervade the whole house.
The liability Of wet coal to in:sehicv-
Gus results under such circumstance
is such, that there are. seVrra, iu.ttu-
ces on record of the spontaneous cIm-
bustiOn of wet coal when stays.i in
the bunkers or holds of vessels. And
from this cause, doubtless, tuaDy mis-
sing coal vessels have perished.

A SUGGESTION TO REPUBLIC.

Dnring a recent trip to the above
mentioned place, I had occasion to
note few of its advantages and dis
advantages:
1. 1t will shortly have one OF the
best railroads in Northern Ohio, the
Baltimore, Pittsburg & Chicago, which
will give it ready ingress and egress
for persons and property, adding very
materially to its business capacities.
2. lis leading business men realize
the necessity of increasing the num-
Der and capacity of their rooms, and
hence are making commendable eff
forts in that direction. A number Of
rooms like those in the Stiekney block
will greatly increase the business ac-
tivity of the village. Arrangements
are now making by Messrs. Stickney,
Griffin and Spooner to put up four
more rooms this season for a similar
purpose.
5. Men of enterprise and capital
will find Republic a desirable place,
and it would not be strange if it should
become one of the stirring villages on
the Baltimore & Ohio line.
4. Its location is favorable from a
health consideration, and its literary
advantages would make it desirable
point for families that wish to edu-
cate their children. No better point
in Northern Ohio for that purpose
can be found.
We learned from the people that a
great demand for houses exists at
present, many families desiring to To-
cate, but are unable to rent suitable
houses. 1t occurred to us that the
wealthy farmers in the community,
whose interests are closely linked with
the prosperity of Republic, could
make no better use of their money
than by putting up plain residences
for rent. The investment would be
safe and would certainly pay a good
dividend directly, besides giving them
an indirect revenue in the increased
valuation Of their farms, and the ease
of access to market. Why do not the
Stearns, Anyways, Neikirks, Stickneys,
Laughreys, etc., inaugurate such a
movement ?
The success of business interests de-
pends largely upon the interest taken
in inducing people to locate in the
village. Capitalists will certainly see
the force of this suggestion.

Not Sueh A sIlly Goose After All

We heard of an amusing incident
which occurred in the second ward of
this city, which we think worth reIa-
ting. A family residing at the corner
of Townsend and Catawba Streets,
like the rest of their neighbors, are in
the habit of keeping a number of do
mestie fowls, and a small flock of
geese included. Some few weeks
since the geese were missing, and all
efforts to find them proved fruitless /;
but one day this week, the gander of
the flock returned to the front gate of
the premises of its owner, and imme-
diately set up a loud scream, and
would not be quieted, nor come into
the yard. Finally the owner came
out, and followed it for a number of
blocks, until it entered a yard, at the
rear of which was an old barn. On
opening it, the balance of the flock
was found, and were taken possession
of by the owner. Itappeared that The
gander had made its escape through a
hole in the floor of the barn, and then
started for home to give the alarm.

LOUISVILLE, KT.
A Border State City-What Louisville
Is dOing-Her Great Library.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. u, 1873.
Louisville lost something of her
prosperity by the war, for she was on
the border andsustsined damage from
both Sides But since, the City Of the
Falls has been going forward with
giant strides. It's becoming the great
manufacturing point of the South.
The one thing that Louisville prides
herself upon, is her public library.
The building is a magnificent one,
and the library is one of the largest in
the country 1t contains a splendid
collection of paintings, department
of mineralogy, and q museum.
This library was bought, paid for,
and is being enlarged by a series of
Gift Concerts, held under the diree-
ton of the State Legislature. The
last Concert was given July sth, when
$500, 900 in cash was given by lot to
the tieket-holders, in sums from $780,
600 down to $40. The committees
experimenting the drawing were
made of the best men of Louisville,
including bankers, lawyers, and mer-
chants, and the enormous sum was
paid on the Saturday following, to
the holders without discount.
The next Concert and Drawing will
take place in December, and a scheme
has been prepared of such magnitude
as was never before offered. One
Million Five HsRdred thousand Dol
lars will be distributed in prizes vary
ing from $3.50, 900 down to $50. There
are, in this scheme, gifts of $3.50, 900
SlOO, 900; $4,000; $4,000; S17, 500;
ten of $4,000 each; thirty of 5000
each; fifty of 81 900 each and so on,
all of which will be distributed among
the holders of the tickets sold. The
tickets are sold $50; halves and tenths
proportionately.
The best men in Kentucky manage
this scheme. Ex-Gov. Bramlette is
the manager, and the Farmers and
Drovers Bank of Louisville guarantee
the funds.
1 was to-day in the Office Of the
Library. Gov. Thos. E. Bram-
lette, the manager, was directing the
mailing Of thousands of circulars in
response to inquiries from all parts oI
the Union, and an immense corps OF
clerks was executing his orders.- 1t
would save trouble if letters of inquiry
were addressed simply: "Thos. E.
Bramlette, Agent Public Library,
Louisville, Kentucky" These. .letters
take precedence, and are answered
promptly. Tickets are being sold at
a rate of hundreds a day.

How Paris is PaIpled.

1t would astOnish some of our old
house painters of Baltimore If they
could witness the manner in which
the painters of Paris climb over the
fronts of these six and seven story
houses, and paint them from roof to
dOor-sill without the use of ladder,
seaffold, or any other wooden eontri-
vance, either for themselves or their
paint pots. One man, without assist
anee Of any kind, can paint the en-.
tire front of one of these tail houses
in two or three days. Directly oppo-
site our quarters six story building,
fronting about eighty feet is undergo
ing q complete renovation, and the
painting of the entire walls has been
accomplished by two youths, appa-
rently not over nineteen years of aye.
They arc each provided with a rope
about an inch in diameter, extending
from the apex of the roof to the pave
ment, on which knots, one foot apart,
are made throuhout its entire length.
By means ofan apparatus with straps,
clamps and hooks, to which Is ap-
pended board on which they sit, and
stirrups to rest the feet in, whicn are
strapped to their legs, they move up
and down the rope with great rapidi-
ty and apparent ease. They move
the clamps from knot to knot, and
without changing the position Of the
rope are enabled TO paint six feet on
either side of them. Their smaller
brushes are stuck in little looms ap-
pended to the seat, and the paint pot
Is suspended by a smaller rope, on
which it is fastened by q spring of
some kind, and is raised and lowered
with ease as they may desire it.
Long practice has given them great
agility, and they seem to move up
and down and pirouette and oscillate
along thefront with a great deal more
ease than if they were on ladders.
They use brushes for most Of their
painting nearly double the size of
those used in America, and make
rapid progress with the work. House
painting in Paris is very extensive
business, as a periodical renovation
of the houses Is rendered imperative
by law, no one being allowed to dis
figure q neighborhood by presenting
stained and disfigured walls. The
houses being all built of soft cream
SOAOACN SaAu oOOuct aauy VI VIC AOOA
structures, instead of being painted,
are redressed by the stone-eutter, and
come out, after undergoing the pro-
cess Of scraping and scrubbing, as If
fresh from the quarry. In alluding
to the amount of work these lads per-
form in day, it should be understood
that they commence work at 6
O'Clock in the morning, and stop at
O'Clock in the evening, twelve hours
being a days work among the me-
ehanies of Paris.
