Son of God Ordinarily, he said the man who hunbles
himself now is not considered a great man. The man
who asserts himself boastnS OF his work and'his
own power, is the man who seems 10 succeed.
This assumption and brazcnness, however, IA
not what we like. To be sure, it seems

IMPROBABLE CHARGEs.-Mr. Step

IMPROBABLE CHARGEs.-Mr. Stephen
w. Healey an American resident in Flor
ence, Italy, has written long letter to the
New York World. in which he explicitly
charges that several noted American sculp-
tors are wholly indebted to poor Italian
artists and stone-cutters for their genius
The names given include three New Eng
land men, and among them is that of Mr.
Larkin G. Meade, formerly of Brattleboro.
The Springfield Republican, don't believe
the charges against Mr. Mead, and says:
1--WE don't know anything about this
Healey, who makes charges so freely, but
we do know that Mr.. Meade displayed
plastic talent before he got out of his
roundabout. and, we believe. that one of
his most spirited works, the Ethan Allen,
at Montpelier, was wrought before he saw
Italy. The dignity of his bronze statue of
Lincoln, for the Springfield monument,
we shall continue to credit to him. till a
stronger case is made out than yet appears
1t is a matter of common knowledge that
all artists in Italy are much indebted to the
skilled workmen of that country for the
nicely in detail of the finished work. This
can hardly be true, however, of bronze
statue made in this country. The only
specific allegation against Meade is that
he has let out the four marble figures
for the monument to James Fisk, Jr., to a
sculptor of Florence to be modelled and
wrought for $50 each''

DEATH OF CEsPEDEs.-The killing of
ex-President Cespedes of the Cuban repub-
lie by some members of the San Quentin
battalion is confirmed. His hiding place
was betrayed by a captured negro to save
his own life. He was discovered with
few friends five leagues from Asserradero
His companions succeeded in getting away,
but he could not escape, and while closely
pursued by the troops turned and fired six
shots from his revolver. This was returned
from the troops and Cespedes received
bullets in his head and breast causing in
slant death. His body was taken to San
tiago de Cuba and buried on the 1st inst.
Cespedes was u native of Cuba, 30 years
old, had wealthy parents, was educated in
Havana, and successful lawyer. He was
banished in early life for active hostility to
the Spanish government, and in October.
1868. raised the rebel flag on his own plan
tation. and, the next day, with $50 men at
the Cuban revolution. In five days after
with 1000 men he captured Bayamo, and
in April, 1869, he was made president. All
his estates were confscated by the Spanish
government. Last October, he was i'm
peached and removed for stretching his
authority to pardS1 his brother. convicted
for some military offense; but he yielded
with dignity, and avowed unchanged 10y

COP IN NATURE.-When Napoleon was
returning from his campaign in Egypt and
Syria, he was seated one night upon the
deck of the vessel under the open canopy
of the heavens, surrounded by his captains
and generals The conversation had taken
a skeptical direction, and most of the par
ty had combated the doctrine of Divine ex-
istence. Napoleon sat silent and musing.
apparently taking no interest in the dis
cussion, when suddenly raising his hand,
and pointing at the crystalline armament,
crowded with its mildly shining planets
and its keen glitterng stars, he broke out
in those startling tones that SO often cleo
tritied millions -" Gentlemen, who made
all that? The eternal power and god
head of the Creator are revealed by
the things that are made; +" and these
words of Napoleon to his atheistic captains
silenced them. And the same impr ession
is made the world over. Go to-day into
the heart of Africa. or into the center of
New Holland; select the most imbruted
pagan that can be found; take him out to
clear starlit heaven, and ask him who
made all that, and the idea of a Superior
Being, superior to all his fetiches and idols,
possessing eternal power and godhead,
energies in his consciousness. The in
slant the missionary takes this lustful
idolater away from the circle of his idols.
and brings him face to face with the heav-
ems and the earth, as Napoleon brought his
captains, the constitutional idea dawns
again. and the pagan trembles before the
unseen powcr.-Profcssor Shedd,

an elevated sidewalk that shall travel by
the aid of stationary engines 10 miles IN

stopping. According 10 his calculations,
an engine of l25 horsepower will propel a
mile of such walk \ person by walking
on the moving walk can increase his speed
to II OF If miles an hour. and under those
circumstances walking might not fall into
