Eccentricity,

y The Turks believe thatra mailman is
inspired of Cod TAeImere crazy man
is, the more they lvenerate him as saint.
The life of many man whom the world
recognizes as ''genius" seems to favo,
the Turkish belief. Dryden says:
g reat wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide"
The life of no genius better illus.
trates the poets lines than that of Bee
thoven, the composer. He was as &C.
centric as he was great. When compos.
ing. his mind was so absorbed that he
seemed like a somnambulist. Once he
ordered his dinner at a restaurant and
then forgot all about it, in the concen-
tration of his mind upon the famous
Sixth Symphony, on which he was then
at work. When ut last the meal was set
before him, he said, absently:
Thank you, have dined," and.
placing a gold piece in the hand of the
astouished waiter, he left the room.
When nervously excited BY his work
he would rush out of the house and take
walk. and his square little figure was
a familiar sight in Vienna.
Beethoven had no settled home. and
constantly changed his loiging- place.
The other dodgers IN the Houses where
he lodged admired his genius, but thew
found him SO uncomfortable a person to
live with, that they called him mad
man. rs
When composing he had "a habit of
cooling off, his hands by pouring cold
water over them-keepings a pitcher by
his side for that purpose. AS he never
took the precauGoh to set basin to
catch the water, the plastering in the
room below became wet and fell to the
floor. OF course, its occupant com.

He slept little. When a new thought
came he would rush 10 the piano and
give it expression. No matterwhat hour
of the night it mightbe. AS lis deafness
increased he played mora buddy and
heavily, and world beat out the time
with his feet. ~ M
Like other men of genius, Ihe had the
habit of pacing his room, 4roaring and
bowling Gas one of his pupils said of
him), while trying SO express his con-
ception. But at the least reubnstrance
from his landlord he would secure a room
elsewhere.-Youts's Companion.

At little before O'Clock this morning
fire broke out in the mandatory of the Yer
mont Farm Machine Co. in the four-story
brick building, the most southerly of the
mills at that place. The fire spread rapidly
to all parts of the building and the walls fell
in about two hours. The large frame wood
working shops just north were greatly en-
dangered for time, but the FIRE was con-
fined to the building where it originated ex-
cept that Osgood Il Barkers blacksmith shop
and some lumber sheds were destroyed. The
losses were as follows; The Bellows Falls
Canal Co., owners of the building $l5,O
no insurance Osgood & Barker, machinists,
who occupied the first floor, $50, 900, insured
for $l2, 800; the Vt. Farm Machine Co.,

the fire is in doubt Both Osgood d Barker
and the Farm Machine Co. have already
opened Offices and both will go on with their
work as soon as quarters can be obtained.
The Canal Co. will undoubtedly rebuild at
