GLORY AED GREATNESS.

The three grand routes by Whicl
people attain to greatness nigh
have done very well and answered
every req Iirement once, but it i
not so now. To be born great, t.
achieve greatness or to have great
Isss thrust upon one, no longer I'll
the hill. Cor the article is acquired
N this day and age Of the world by
I'm other and vastly different
means. foremost of which is the
n-esentation of anti-Mormon bills
the halls Of legislation to do this
tn secure greatness at bound.
The latest instance Of incipient
Immortality acquired by reason OF
the tactics suggested above, is Col.
a Wall, Of the Idaho conncil.
Tbe Celonel is man Of infinite jest
~ most excellent fancy, as those
Tho know him hereabout will
tastifv. He is and always was a
INV GOOD soul, fact which in it
Golf should have requited any stated
onont,ty of ambitious yearnings
Sr1t bais no such man; his ambi-
tom is made Of sterner stuff; he
locks further and feels finer; he
vould be great and is not without
tbe requisite amount of gall to see
him through. The best evidence
NE can offer of this fact is the bill
recently introduced by him in that
branch of the Idaho legislature
which he adorns by his member
ship therein; the literature is so
choice and the language SO exact
that we produce the document III
full. Here it is:
