reate discourse" of President Labaree was
published by request of the trustees. y
There has been published very valuable
book containing biographical notices of
the graduates of Middebury college; an
nual neurological lists are published ;
and this, as well as every other New Eng
land college, publishes triennal catalogues.
The editors thereof have generally been
considered Intelligent men, most of them
standing IN the front rank of scholars.
But, alas, they arc all ignorant, miserable
fools, because they speak of this man or
the other as "t1UStco" of Middlebury col
lege. The foundation of this hypcrcriti-
csm and profound learning is in the fact
that the act Of the legislature, incorporat-
ing Middlcbury college, calls these 'trus-
tres" by the name of "felows." But this
only shows what an old fool Noah Web
ster was, when he defines "fcllow" as
meaning in the Uuitcd States, ''onc of the
trustees of Il college" While we all re-
joice that we have such learned man, or
so many learned men, in our very midst,
il is depressing to think how, for years. we
have been imposed on by transparent fools.

lnYPERCRIClCISM.

How delightful it is to discover a pro
dizzy of learning in community--one
whose brilliancy and depth had never be-
fore been thought of. Hypercritlcsm adds
to the wonder, and brings into clearer light
the fact that such wonderful men exist in
our midst. We say linen" because it seems
hardly possible that one individual could be
capable of such cOruscations of genius,
could show such evidence of deep research

speaking of Middlebury college, said that it
was understood that Professor Mead had
been elected to the presidency thereof, add
ing Ills decision in regard to the matter is
anxiously awaited by the trustees" To
the ordinary comprehension, there can, it
seems to us, be found not much that is out
of the way in this sentence. But hyper
criticism, deep scholarship, profound learn
ing has made the discovery that it is all
wrong. daily and weekly newspaper,

AMERICAN GREATNESS.

Some men were born to greatness 9TH
er men have greatness thrust upon them,
while others achieve greatness. We speak,
of course, of greatness only in the Amer
lean sense, that high official position makes
man great True greatness is attained at
the beck of no man, while, at the same
time, it is probably true that every intelli-
gent young man, or boy, in America, has
within himself the elements thereof. That
it is not attained, so as to be acknowledged
by the world, is not always the fault of
him who nobly and persistcnly seeks the
highest plane, of him who, conscious of
great talents, seeks to confer the greatest
good for his fellow men. Many such there
are who enter the battle of life with high
aims and earnest determinations, but who
fall by the waysde without fault of their
own. The time, the circumstances were
not opportune, and they were RELOCATED TO
life of obscurity. And why? Because
they are not useful to their fellow citi
zens? Not at all. This is the very reason
that keeps them from the positions they are
the most fitted to adorn and honor, and in
which they could and would do their fell
low citizens the most good. They have
honest, earnest, sincere, positive convc-
tons and opinions, and express them with
out regard to personal considerations.
Sooner or later, their ideas and
opinions are accepted and act
ed upon. They control the bet
ter public sentiment, in fact make the
public sentiment of the town, county, dis
lrict state and, perhaps, country. Their
names are naturally suggested in connec
ton with the higher public Offices. When
these positions are to be filed their names
are presented and urged by those who have
only the good Of the country at heart They
are, moreover, presented and urged by
those who have the good of party at heart,
believing, as they do, that these positive
opinions and ideas of which such men are
the opponents, and being the professed
principles of the party, are for the well
being OF the country, But they must step
aside. The very words of wisdom they
have uttered, the notes of warning they
have sounded dsqualify them in the eyes
OF the manpulators of primaries and of
nominating conventions. because they can
not be moulded as clay in the hands of the
potter. Oh no, they are too honest for the
average politician. When they avow them
selves in favor of q certain policy, they
mean it. They cannot change as the
weathercock does with the wind. They
are every day alike, so long as the same
condition of public affairs exist They are
not plable and, therefore, not available
but the third or fourth rate man, profess
ing the same principles, is available, be-
cause he has offended no man by an ex-
preston of opinion, is all things to all men
and can change to suit circumstances.
These are the men who are born to luck.

Thought he already saw signs that the
railroads would reduce the rates. He had
conversation with II. S. Marcy, the
freight agent of the Delaware and Hudson
canal company, and although he did not
say directly that rates wonld be reduced,
yet, he inferred from the conversation,
that the company were disposed to do
something for the state interest by reducing
rates. He believed in persevering in our
efforts in that direction.

passing Holland, when he lHollandl

that he was not an officer and did not

with his prisoners then proceeded q
few steps further, when they heard

was seen to come up TO the street saw

We give below the business done mt
the Dallas postoiiice from the first of
July to the 3lst of August, inclusive:
Stamp and stamped envelopes sold,
81, 40 81 ; money orders issued during
same length of time, 05s, aggregating
Sll,o46 IA; money orders paid, Sl+,-
252 50; payments on money orders in
excess of orders issued, S2,30G 10.
1t should be borne in mind that July
and August are the dullest months in
the year, notwithstanding which the
business of the Office has very nearly
equaled any of the previous months this
year. This is a most excellent show
ing and evidences the increasing inn
portance of the office.
We take this occasion to reiterate
what we have heretofore stated, that
nowhere in the state or out of it have
we ever seen an office conducted with
more system or correctness than the
Dallas postoflice under its present
management, and this assertion, we
believe, will be joined in by nine
tenths of the people who transact bust
ness there.

SHIPMENTS of flour from this city to
points west, is unusually large, owing
to the failure of grist mills, which are
run by water power, throughout por-
lions of western Texas.
FROM five to eight thousand head of

the next heavy rain fall to be driven

WE publish to-day the advertise
ment Of Il Grand Real Estate Gift Con-
cert to be given by Messrs. Wagley "
Lockart, Houston, Texas, on the 2lst
of December next. 100000 worth of
good Texas lands and Houston City
property. There are 100000 tickets,
and |, 400 gifts. The capital gift is
Sis, 900, and no gift less than 40 acres
of land. We can vouch for the re-
sponsibility of the firm, and that all
they promise they will perform. The
scheme is an excellent one, in our
opinion, rs n means of settling up our
state and inviting immigration. The
land outside of Houston is scattered
over large number of counties, and
EN- bracing some of the best farming
lands in the state. See advertisement
and invest. All orders addressed to
the office at Houston will meet with
prompt attention.

Dallas was made n money order Of
flee on the 18th day of August, 1879, II
little over four years ago. During the
first year there were 1,75S orders is

ders issued for the four years, 1920,
averaging $50 each, aggregating S2i5,-
500, in value. 1t will be seen that the
number of orders issued during the
past year nearly doubles that of any
previous year. These figures look
large, butfgures WON'T lie, and they
are taken from the record. Can any
town in Texas of the size of Dallas
make q better showing?
