DisaSreeabIe People.

We clip the following from the Butler coun-
ty Herald. 1t strikes Eaton as well as al
most every other towns:
The disagreeab.e person is a factor in every
class of society and all that is necessary to
bring the factor into prominence is to start
some enterprise which involves a little more
than ordinary public spirit or private ambi-
ton.
Propose a new railroad and this individual
bow and ear jostling you for attention and
whispering to you about the evident failure of
the enterprise.
True, he knows little, if anything of your
plans, and nature has not done enough for
him to permit him to intelligently contemplate
the magnitude of the work or the benefits
growing from it; he only knows that enter
prise is astir and from his mere physical OBJ
servation which he is graciously permitted to
exercise, he feels justified in doing all he can,
which is to throw a little cold water on the
ardor.
If manufacturing company discuss the
advantages of moving into a certain commu-
nifty, this person is born with the discussion,
he sees at a glance the great chances in favor
of the company going to ruin by such a step;
he sees disadvantages to the community and
prophesies stagnation and bankruptcy unless
the new company will do some IMPOSSIBLE
thing or another, which thing is a wood cut
from the diseased brain of the disagreeable
person.
Let some of our societies propose an enter
tainment with a view of securing means there
by, with which to adorn or embellish some
audable work, and this individual is a spon-
taniety of the suggestion, he will tell you how
impracticable the plan seems to him; he will
severely ~criticise those who are to participate
in the work, how weak they are, how ridicu-
lous they appear, and after doing all he can to
thwart the enterprise, he will sulkily look on
until the completion ant then crawl all over
the work, leaving his Shiny eseutcheon at
every stage; he babbles about how it should
have been done; he sneers at how it is to be
done and finally insults the commonest regard
for others by lying about how it was done.

AS we turned the corner the other dav
we heard a lively chattering that caused
US to think that the blackbirds had
swarmed into the neighborhood, taken
possession of some old tree and began
their spring concert racket" but it
wasn't that. A woman was having a
confidential chat with her neighbor and
we stopped a half square distant that we
might be on hand to prevent trouble
The conversation thus:
"Ker-r-r-r-rr-r-" "You don't say W
eyes, ker-r-r-r-r-r-r-" "Silk?"
ono. Ker-r-r-r-r-r.r-' "And a hat ?'
eyes. Ker-r-r-r-r-r-r-" Well worth
while! !"
"Ker-r-r-r-r-r-r-" "Ah she didn't!'
"Ker-r-r-r-r-r-r-" "Where is it to
come from?"
"Ker-r-r-r-r-r-r-rap, rap" and then
she shut off the double action of her
tongue, and said as distinctly as anybody
could, that she must go home and wash
her breakfast.dishes or she would be late
with dinner.

The Eighth Wonder of the
World.

A.strangcr in New York, standing on the
middle span of the great Brooklyn Bridge,
views with wonder the beauties of New York
harbor. He sees the great cities on each side
stretching away for miles to the north, east
and west. Beneath his feet the rapidly run
ming river, with scores of large and small
steamboats, coursing up and down. A large
f~our-masted ship, bound for China, is passing
under the great bridge in charge of a tugboat
on its way to the sea, all hands are busy on
deck, and as she passes from under the Bridge
the sailors give a shout. If this ship arrives
out safely and returns to this port it will be
nearly a year bef,r she makes the round trip.
Looking down the bay we see a great steam
er going through the Narrows, bound in an
opposite direction. Great black clouds of
smoke ascend from her funnel. We know
that the stokers away down in the boiler-room
are replenishing the fires that are to furnish
the motive power for the great ship, and must
be attended to constantly for the next ten
days.
Apparently at our feet, but over a mile
away, lies Governors Island: a picture of
fresh, green and peaceful. The old fort, with
cannons on top large enough for a small child
to crawl in, the cannon balls piled in pyra-
mids, the officers houses and well-kept lawns
remind one of the peep show in a pasteboard
box that we made when Il child.
At our right we see a towering structure on
an island-Bedloe's Island, three miles and a
half away. 1t is difficult to realize the dis
lance is so great, as everything stands out
clear and bright on this beautiful spring day.
This large structure is the pedestal for Bar
tholdi's great statue of "Liberty E%nlighten-
ing the World,' which is to be one hundred
and forty-two feet high, and will be complet-
ed this month.
The engineers and workmen who construct
ed the great statue will arrive from France in
May, and commence putting in place this great
wonder of modern times which will tower
three hundred and twenty feet above the
waters of the bay; a beacon light that will
show far out at sea, and a welcome to all who
enter the beautiful harbor from oppressed and
overcrowded Europe to make their homes with
us.
This great statue is a gift frcm one great
nation to another, which will stand for ages tc
cement the friendship of France and America
The committee in charge of the construc.
tion of this great pedestal are nearly through
with their labors. And all who desire a me-
mento, in the form of a miniature statuette O
this great work, with a certificate of subscrip
ton from a committee to show to their chill
dren's children that they helped build thu
great pedestal, should subscribe at once.
The statuette is a work of art, and has found
a place in thousands of homes. Statuette.
