A Famous Honse The Old Gibson

the Governors career, anG Senator

tribute in which prose could scarcely be

Of FIVE distinguished Pennsylvanisns in
one room Of what Is known as the old
Gibson mansion in Sherwin's creek,
Perry county. less than fifty miles from

misfortune rather than advantage in be-

successes born of failure the following

Curran, the famous Irish agitator,

small company, and became panic strick-

charmed all with his eloquence.
Thackeray carried his VANITY Fair

was accepted. He used to say. laugh
iugly, that it was amusing how little he
earned when in his early days he wrote
carefully, and how much he received fol-
poor work when he had acquired q
name.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" was declined
again and again, till finally it was pub
hshed by John P. Jewett at the earnest
solicitation of his wife.
Tom Hoods ''Song of the Shirt" was
thrown into the waste basket.

Sahara Not Below Sea Level.

The curious cosmographie error has
has long prevailed that the surface Of the
great Desert of Sahara, in Africa, was
depressed below the ocean level. Some
have seriously suggested that a canal be
cut from the Atlantic or the Mediterran-
can, by which the desert might be filled
with water, new sea formed, inter
communication facilitated, and com.
merce increased with the interior. DIR.
LEM has recently lectured in Paris on
his journey from Morocco to Tinbuctoo.
He says the great desert is actually a
plateau about 1000 feet above the level
of the ocean, and that nowhere is there
such depression as formerly imagined
The fossils found are fresh water kinds,
so that the Sahara is not the bottom of
dried up sea. The tilnid who have APP
pretended that the revolving earth
might be thrown out of balance by the
placing Of broad, deep sea on the sur
face of the great desert, may calm their
fears.

English Speaking Men.

At the present time this race numbers
rising 100, 900, 900. Outside of the Chin
ese they are the largest body of men
speaking a common language. They
rule in all the continents. Two CONT
nents-that of North America and the
island continent of Australia-are ALSO
lutely dominated by them. They are in
possession of the southern part of Africa.
They own groups of islands and strate-
