The course Of history i not . mere
game played by few great men nor
yet does It run in an inAexibls groove
The great man influences his age, but at
the same time he is influenced by his
age. Some Of the greatest Of men, IS
far - their natural gifts went, have been
useless or mischievous, because they
have been out Of gear with their own
age. Their own age could not receive
them. and they could not make their age
other than what it was. The most use
full kind Of great man is he who is Just
SO far in advance OF his age that his age
can accept him % its leader and teacher.
Men of this kind are themselves part Of
the course Of events /; they guide it they
do not thwart it. Can We, for instance,
overrate the gain which came to the
newborn federation Of America by find
ing such . man a. Washington ready
made to its handi Or take men Of quite
another stamp from the Virginian de-
iverer. The course of her history for
the last 500 years has been largely af-
fected by the fact not only that we un-
derwent foreign conquest, but that we
underwent q foreign conquest OF par
ticular kind, such as could be wrought
only by q man Of particular kind. The
course Of our history for the last 800
years has been largely affected by the
fact that, when English freedom was in
the greatest danger. England fell into
the hands Of tyrant whose special hui
NOR it was to carry on his tyranny under
the forms Of law. English history could
not have been what it has been il
William the Conqueror and Henry VIII.
had been men otherA than what they
were. One blushes to put the two
names together. William was great in
himself, and must have been great in
any time or place. Henry, : man not
without great gifts, but surely not :
great man, was made important by cir
cumstances in the time and place in
which he lived. But each influenced the
course Of events by his personal charac-
ter. But they influenced events only in
the sense Of guiding, strengthening and
quickening some tendencies and keeping
others back for while. Neither Of
them, nor Washington either, belong to
that class Of men who, for good or for
evil, turn the world upside down, the
great destroyers and the great creators

A Lesson IN Debt Paying.

A pretty good thing on debt paying
was got off by minstrel company in
this city recently. One dollar is made to
pay debt of six dollars, by the follow
ing manner: End man No. owes the
middle man 81, but says he can pay him
but 81, and crossing the stage hands him
a dollar. The middle man owes end
man No. 2 =, but As the dollar he has
just received from end man No. is all
that he has, he hands that to him. End
man No. owes end man No 81, and
hands the dollar he has just received to
him and pays the half he owes. Three
dollars in debts have been paid. and end
man No. has his dollar back. Then,
AZ he owes the dollar to the middle man,
he passes it over, and the middle man in
turn pays his dues to end man No. 2,
who in turn squares himself by passing
it back to end man No. l. Thus debt
aggregating s. is paid of by 81, and the
first man has his money back. There is
good lesson in this. Charlottesville

portant question remained how she
should subscribe herself. Was she to be
"Yours, respectfully" or truly or
sincerely" or 'affcctionately?" A diff
cult problem!
But oil things have an end, and the
letter was sent. Then it was that
Fanny's heart began to quake. What If
Mr.. s. should not fancy her handwriting?
Perhaps her note was too cold, maybe
too hot; he might not expect an answer
SO soon and would be shocked ct her
haste. But oil these heart-quakings
were in vain-the letter was gone.
To pass away the time, which now
hung heavily upon her hands, Fanny
called to tell Julia the whole story. The
kind friend was in raptures. "Just the
man for You, my dear, she cried. 80
he says he has met You in your walks
and Mt church. Well, I can imagine
how he looks; he's the very image Of my
husband, I've no doubt"
Fanny next called upon the second di-
rectress Of the Anti Matrimonial Society,
young lady Of nm uncertain age, and
informed her that for private reasons
she must resign her own office, begging
her friend to make this resolution known
to the society at their next meeting.
Meanwhile the four sisters ran to tell
the news. Each one had her own par
ticnlar friend who must not be forgotten,
and in the course Of two days, it was
known to all Fanny's acquaintances that
the fair damsel had been wooed and
won. The third day passed, and there
had come no letter from the impatient
lover. Fanny resolved not 30 sleep Q
wink that night. "What will become Of
me, thought she; 81 must be in loye!"
In the midst Of her despair she fell
asleep.
The next morning little note. sealed
with Forgive and forget!" was brought
from tho office. Fanny ran TO her own
room TO read il 1t her ease. pressing it to

The oovernor-General of Canada.

The Marquis of Lorne, Governor-Generai
of Canada and son-in-law Of Queen Victoria,
passed through Montana from north to south
during the past few days, having been on a
tour of observation through his western do
mains, and taking the most direct route for
the rails. One of the principal objects of his
inspection is stated to have been TO ascertain
by personal observation the facts concerning
the North West Mounted Police, against the
expenses Of maintaining which there has
been considerable hostility In the Canadian
Parliament. 1t seems the Indians at frst
stood in great awe of the red-coats, but that
their reverence has very preceptibly dimin-
ished and 1t will require strong augmen-
tation of the force to maintain It's prestige
and efficiency. The Marquis, after reaching
the line, travelled under United States escort
and courtesies He was accompanied BY sew
sral officers and friends From Helena he
vent 10 Silver Star, where some friends oi
his had invested in mining property, and
which he had agreed to visit. He desired to
see the deep mining at Butte and the methodi
az reduction In use there, but limited nms
compelled him to forego that pleasure and
push direclly on.
