Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1875-03-25

The bcnignant spirit should soften our
treatment of certain innocc nt idiosyncra-
sizes of men. We all have ldiosyncrasles
which are not amiable, and yet are not
vices. They grow out Of gnarlcs in the
grain of our structure Of which for the
most part we are unconscious. One man
speaks when, to you, silence would be the
golden gift. Another is silent when to
you it would be dishonor not to speak
Another says the thing you would think
yourself Il fool for saying. You cannot
understand such things. They have queer
ways. Now, every man of us has his
''queer ways" about something. Nothing
is easier than to make these idiosyncra-
sizes Of vision the occasion of irritated
feeling and unkind insinuation. Here,
again, the bcnignant spirit should inter-
pose to curb our egotism. Why should
we not indulge in other men their pecu-
liaritics OF character and habit as hearth
~ as we push for room to our own? They
have as much right to their individuality
rs VIC have to ours.

Santa Anna.

Santa Anna is now living in absolute
retirement. a correspondent writes
Il perceived, instead of a gray-haircd
old man, man Of martial mien. In spite
Of his wooden leg, he walks without
crutches or cane. His eyes are oal-black
his hair has not yet turned gray, and he
has the hand of a woman. The express
sion of his countenance bespeaks such
kindness that it was difficult for me to be-
lievc had man before me who had fig
ured in so many bloody scenes He is
deaf and his conversation always turns
upon subjects of the past. He loves to
speak of his exploits, and the precision
with which he quotes dates of events
which form the history Of fifty years past
is really remarkable.'
