4 Sp!f-Madr Snowman.

Z. L. Biinum WAS thrown upon his
own resources ut thirteen, and Was thus
developed early In life. lie has met
some seyere rever5es, which he endured
with great nerve. | can remember the
SINE when his wife kept boarding
house in this city, while he was canvass.
Ing with Sears Illustrated Bible, and
their mutual efforts hardly made de.
cent support. For three years his life
here was merely an effort to "keep the
wolf from the door" His wife was u
noble creature, AID was broken by this
early struggle. Barnum appreciated
her faithfuluess, and always spoke of
her in terms of honor. She died few
years ago, having been for long time
q pitiable sufferer. Blrnum's name
and genius will terminate with him.
Ho has no sons aud his four daughters
we're married early in life. 1t is not
generally known that BArnum has Il
peculiar turn for tho comic. Such, how
ever, is the case, and he would indeed
have made good com edian. He can
relate his own adventures in the most
Imaginable manner and seems to have a
ready conception of the ridiculous po-
sitiOns which he has occasionally occu-
pied. For instance, while ira Yelling
with show his colored dancer ran
away. Barnum BACKED his own face
and entertained the audience with
songs aud dancing which were highly
spplauded. While conducting the same
show he came to village where the
only church was vacant. Having to
remain over Sunday he offered to
preach, and the proposal so pleased tho
people that he had good house. Bar
mum, in fact. often preached during his
early itinerances and he claimed that,
droii as this nigh. seem, hN always
gave the people good advice. Utica

ThOl'ealI.

Thoreau's thin, penetrating, big.
nosed face, even in bad wood-cut,
conveys some hint of the limitations
of his mind aud character. With his
almost acid sharpness of insight, with
his almost animal dexterity in act,
there went none of that large, uncon-
scious geniality of the worlds heroes.
lie was not easy, not ample, not urbanc,
not even kind; his enjoyment was
hardly smiling, or the smile was not
broad enough to be convincing; he
had no waste lands nor kitchen hidden
in his nature, but was all improved
and sharpened to point. I" lie was
bred to no profession" says Emerson;
" he never married; he lived alone: he
never went to church; he never voted;
he refused to pay tax to the State: b.
ate no flesh, he drank no wine, he
never know the use of tobacco; and,
though a naturalist, he used neither
trap nor gun. Wn,n asked at dianer
what dish he preferred, he answered,
the nearest So many negative
superiorities begin TO smack little of
the prig. From ms later works, he was
in the habi6 of cutting out the humor-
GUS passages, uLder the impression
that they were beneath the dignity of
his moral muse; and there we see the
prig stand public aud confessed. 1t
was much easier" says Emerson
acutely, much easier for Thoraau to say
81 nc" than yes and that is a char
acteristic which depicts the man. 1t is
useful accomplishment to be able to
say "no,' but surely it is the essence
OF amiability 70 prefer to say "yes"
where 1t Is possible. There is some
thing wanting III HE man who does not
hate himself Whenever he is con
strained to say no. Aud there was II
good deal wanting in this born dissen.
ter. He was almost shuckingly devoid
OF weaknesses; he hal not enough of
them to be truly polar with humanity;
whether you Gail him demi. god or
demi man. he WAS, at least, not alto
gother one of us, TOR he was not touched
with feeling OF oar indrmitles. The
world $ heroes hH.o room for all posi-
i've qualities, even those which are

Of their dispositions. Such can live
many lives; while Thorelu can live
but one, anu that only with perpetual
foresight. Tile Cor"hjA M,guzine.

HiSmarck's Big Dog.

One of the most important and gen.
orally respected members of Prince
Bsmarck's household is a huge hound
popularity designated "Tne Realm
Dog" This animal, his mighty mas
ter's lnsepara6le companion, is stern
OF aspect and wrathful in disposition.
Tie inspires fear, rather than love, in
all men save one, and has acquired a
somewhat formidable renown Tor hav.
ing "collared several eminent per-
sonages-among them Prince Gort-
schakoH-whose appearance Inspired
him with distrust, or IN whom his in
stincts revealed to him the entertain
ment of hostile purpose towards his
lord. Eos his extraordinary intelli-
gence in thus respect he is highly
priced by the Chancellor, who is kn own
to entertain Considerable faith in the
accuracy Of the R,alm Dogs judg-
ment of human character. The other
day two delegates from Altoona, charged
with the presentation Of . petition from
that town to his Highness. we're re.
ceived by Prince Bismarck in special
audience. The Chancellor sat In his
comfortable rocking chair, the Realm
bOS csAotOhCo oh lhC CdTp0t Nv
side, while the delegates, Messrs. Moth
nagel and Ssmper. took their seats on
leathern couch facing his Highness.
Mr.. Nothnagel held roll of paper in
his right hand, and, being an energetic
speaker, accustomed to emphasize his
arguments by gesticulation, he waved
his scroll about while addressing the
Chancellor, disregardful of the fact
that his movements elected several
successive disappearing utterances from
the watchful hound. Presently the
dog rose with fierce growl, where
upon Prince Bismarck, hastily inter
rupting his interlocutcr's remarks, ex-
claimed "Doput down that scroll,
beg of you. My dog, like myself, en-
tertains profound aversion to every
kind of paper. He believes it to be a
weapon T. 1t is needless to add that
Mr.. Nothnagel promptly complied
with his request. obviously to the sat
isfaction of the Realm Dog, who forth
with subsi!ed into his former peaceful
attitude.
