Greatness and Fame.

England is 50 large, so commercial, so
varied, that fame is singularly local,
says an English writer George Eliot
was in everybody's mouth, without
many people having the faintest idea
what she was like. or, indeed, whether
the novelists who wrote under that
name was a man or woman. Wilkie
Collins is another instance Of modest
genius who shuns the noisy recognition
of the mob; and Mr. Besant, though
the widest read and most industrious of
writer's is too busy too exhibit his person
in many drawing-rooms. Mr.. Anthony
Trollope, being a gentleman of early
habits and genial Instincts, has some
time to show his kindly face in the eve
ming but to nine people out of ten Mr..
Blackmore, engrossed in his Teddington
market gardens, is as shadowy a per-
sonage as the 81. P. Smith, ESQ.," whose

say that Mr. Tennyson "obiects to be

Mr. Dante Rosetti, he must have studio
receptions, and the aid which a multi
tude of friends affords. Mr.. Millias
and Sir Frederick Leighton are visible
to any who are curious regarding their
personal appearance; and Mr.. Alma
Tadema, ike Mr. James Mcneil

proprietary chapel is not invariably the
most distinguished preacher or the
most eminent divine. Among scientific
folks, since British associations and
roval institutions made their lore popu-

indecent squabble for notoriety. Huxley

front, though they are hard pressed by
some active young men not troubled
with scruples or bashfulness. Yet no

state of learning would class either Of

RienZi.

A small audience assembled at the
Congregational church last Thursday
evening to hear Rev. r. w. Hill, of
Salem lecture on Rienzi, one Of the
most wonderful characters in history
Commencing with an account of the
feudal system, and the manners and
customs Of FIVE hundred years ago, he
gave,a vivid account of the condition
of Rome when the Roman Pontiffs
had transferred their court to Avisnon
and how Rienzi, dreaming Of the old
days of the Republic had succeeded
through perseverance and eluquence
in rousing the Roman populace to an
enthusiasm of patriotic impulse. Then
was portrayed his success, his triumph,
his downfall, his exile, wanderings,
intrigues, capture, deliverance, return
to Rome, reinstatement as Tribune,
debauchery, final downfall and miser-
able death. In patriotic perora-
tion the reverend lecturer paid glow
ing tribute TO our own country and it's
institutions, fervently hoping that the
republic might never fall into such
gross and cruel hands as did the Ro-
man republic when fell Rienzi the
last of the Roman Tribuues.

The Columbia River.

Away back in 1850 there were grave
doubts about the navigsbility at all
seasons of the Columbia. An adver-
tisement in the Oregon Spectator,
dated Nov. %, 1850, announcing the
proposal to build "railroad from
Milton and St. Helens to Lafayette, :"
at an estimated cost of $500, 900. The
projectors of the road, W. 81. Tap
pam, of ST. He!ens, and Crosby d
Smith, of Milton, say, sit is almost
useless to add, that the terminus of
this road should be'a point that can
be reached with safety by large class
vessels at any season, and at any stage
of the river" To-day, over thirty
years afterwards, the predicted rail-
road is yet to be built; st. Helens is

peared from the map and the Column
