with the classical scholar in reading
this description of a John Sullivan of
Rome: One of the bronze figures re-
Gently dug up on the steep slope of the
Quirinal Hill represents a powerful
boxer of barbaric type. who. after
fighting CALAMITY. sits down exhausted
by the numerous blows received. the
traces OF which are visible all over his
body. The torso bends gently forward
and the elbows rest on the knees. The
face. of Herculean type. is turned to-
wards the left; the mouth is half open,
and the lips seem TO culver. as if speak
ing to some one. No words can de-
scribe the realistic impression created
by this magnificent specimen of a semi
barbaric athlete. His nose is swollen
from the effects of the last blow re-
ceivcd; his ears. his shoulders. and his
breast are scanned with scars. He is
painting from sheer fatigue. and seems
to take a moments rest, ready TO start
again ut the first call. The modelling
of the muscles of the arms and of the
back is simply wonderful. The details
OF the fur-lined boxing-gloves are also
exquisite. This bronze belongs to the
bese period OF GrecO-Roman sculpture.

A "Reminiscences.

j. L. Brush. or ...Jud' Brush. rs he
is Familiarity known by his Colorado
friends, is the partner of ex-senator
John l.. Routt in his cattle ventures.
and is Il thorough admirer Of Routt as a
business man and politician. Brush
says that his respect for Routt's parlia-
mentary talents dates from the first day
they went ont on their range together
to round up and count their cattle, after
entering into a formal agreement of
partnership. On their way to the cow,
boy camp they had with them only a
negro cook, and the first night they
camped half way between Denver and
the camp. After supper Routt made
Brush a speech in which he said that TO
make a success of their business it was
absolutely necessary that one of them
should be the head, TO be Obeycd on all
occasions by everybody on the ranch.
Brush thought this a good idea, and
koutt then said they ought to decide
Immediately which one should be the
''bOss of the outfit" That was also
agreeable to Brush, and Routt then pro-
posed that they should 60 into an cleo
ton. But" said Brush, ''how'll we
settle it? I'll vote for myself, and l know
that YOU will vote for yourself, and
that'n leave us Il tie" oh" replied
Routt. well let the niger vote and
you take the chair; then in case of a tie
you decide it, You know. I'm not any-
Gus TO III the concern. just want
to know how we stand" The darky
was an old servant of Brush. and he
chuckled to himself as he sat down on
the watcr-bucket which was the chair.

Inventor OF the Lightning.Rod.

One of our German contemporaries de.
voted recently some space to the expert.
ments Of one Procopius Diwisch. and de.
tails . number of interesting devices
produced by him. Among them the
lightning-rod occupies n prominent po-
sition. and Diwisch's biographer claims
for him the priority Of invention in this
field. on the strength of the fact that he
erected such a continuance in his garden
in 1154. So far As dates are concerned
Diwisch can by no means be counted rs
the original Jacob in the lightning-rod
business, rs the thing had been done
some time before by several others, and
the idea of drawing sparks from the
clouds had been suggested by Franklin
in 1749. Indeed. records show that be-
fore Diwisch's date two houses in Phila.
delphia were struck by lightning during

BY lightning-rods was not injured. while
khe other was severely damaged. We

But first it may not be amiss to re-
mark here. that the two principal rea-
sons why the manufacture of Irish linens
continues and survives up to the present
time. arc hrst. the soil in certain por-
tons of Ireland possesses the qualities
which render it specially adapted to the
growing of flax, and secondly. prior To
the application Of chemicals in the
bleaching process. when linens were
solely blcached by being spread out on
the grass and sprinkled from time to
time with water, it was found by ex-
periencc that whereas linen in Ireland
would bleach out perfectly white. the
same result could not be attained in
either England or Scotland. The water
used in sprinkling in the two latter
countries. held certain substances in
solution. notably iron. which tinged the
fabric and precluded either from COM
peting with Ireland in bleachcd goods

Grant, as q cadet on vacation or a sol

among the hearts in this region Of his
childhood. While ut school he display
cd considerable artistic ability. and de-
voted more Of his time tn drawing car
toons than 10 study. For drawing n
~earicature Of an old schoolmaster at
Bethel and passing il among the pupils,
Grant was soundly whipped by the irate
teacher, who caught a pupil laughing
over il. When a West Point cades
Ulysses fell in love with Miss At31Owe!
who lived with her brother in batavia.
He was Col. John w. Lowe, who became
q leading lawyer. and was killed at
Carnifax Ferry in 1861, while command
Ing the Twelfth Ohio Regiment. He
had served with Grant in the Mexican
war, and the young captain was looked
upon as an accepted sutton long before
lac left West Point. While there he sent
her a water-color landscape, which she
greatly priced and has kept all these
years. She is now an old lady, Mrs.
Kate Rotheray. Of Jersey City.

the young soldier. and keeps to-day her
old album in which he wrote a verse OF
poetry when on a vacation. When in
Mexico he sent her a pencil-drawing Of
T~ehuantepcc, which is also preserved.
There was considerable rivalry between
Miss Hattie and her sister, Mary A.
King. The first never married, but
Mary, who found most favor in Grants
eyes while he was a cadet, was forgotten
when he became a fll-ncdgcd soldier.
There was some misunderstanding be-
tween them. and the correspondence
was broken-oE. She is now Mrs. John
Talford, IA widow, of ThibOdeaux. La.
Grant never forgot her, and while Mt
Batavia and Georgetown, after the war,
inquired Of her relatives rs To her resi-
dence. He learned that she had been
in the South during the war. and had
lost her husband and much of her for

Her Confederate n%cighbors advised her
not o accept. She accordingly refused,
and Grant dropped the matter.
Mrs. Dr. Corners, of Georgetown, who
was also a youthful friend Of Grant,
says that he was a great gallant among
the rural girls. He was at every dance
and party for miles, aud was counted 4
good dancer. One of his early attach
ments was for Miss Sarah Clarke. sister
of Congressman X. ". Clarke, and who.
after marrying Charles Hunt. died of
