How Four Great Men Ended
Their Earthly Careers
New York Ledger.

New York Ledger.
1t is a remarkable fact that the ca,
reer of four of the most renowned
characters that ever lived close with
some violent or mournfuI death.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambition, and
with the temples bound with ohapIets
dipped in the blood of countless ma.
tions, looked down upon a conquered
world, and wept that there was not
another one for him TO conquer, set a
city on fire, and died in scene of de-
bauCh.
Hannibal, after having, to the as,
tOnishment and CONSERVATION of Rome,
passed the Alps; after having put to
flight the armies of the mistress of the
world, and stripped three bushels Of
gold rings from horslaughtered knights
and made her foundation quake, fed
from his native country, and died at
last by poison, administered by his
own hands, unlamented and unwept,
IN a foreign land.
Cesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities and dyed his hands in
the blood of one million of his foes
after having pursued to death the
only rival he had on earth, was mis-
erably assassinated by those he eonsid,
cred his nearest friends, and in that
very place the attainment of which
had been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings
and emperors obeyed, after having
filled the earth with the terror of his
name, deluged it with tears and blood,
and clothed the world with saekcloth,
closed his days in lonely banishment,
almost literally exiled from the world,
yet where be could sometimes see bis
country's banner waving over the deep,
bat which could not or would not
bring him aid.
Thus, four men, who seemed to
stand as the representatives of those
whom the world called great--those
four who, each in turn, made the earth
tremble TO its very center by their
simple tread, severally died-one by
intoGi cation, or some suppose, by poi,
son mingled in his wine-one a suicide
One murdered by his old friends
one in lonely exile.

LAKE CHARLES CALCAsEU PARISH LOUISIANA FRIDAY
KEEPING STEP ToGETHER.

The band was playing martial airs,
Their melodies repeating
In rhythmic rhyme, and marking time,
The drums were loudly beating
And those In uniform so fne,
With soldier cap and feather,
And others there along the square
Were keeping step together,
Beside me walked a maiden fair
Whose heart had been seeking
For many day, but had not found
Tho courage yet for speaking,
And as watched her glowing face
l really wondered whether,
AS man and wife throughout our life
We could keep step together.
The tune was changed, but still the band
Kept up It's martial measure
In unison the crowd moved on
To business or to pleasure
And she-emboldened by the scene,
Or by the braeing weather.
Exclaimed, "Just see how nicely we
Are keeping step together !"
All quickly improved the time,
My heart quiekstep beating,
And soon the old, old story
Was tenderly repeating,
And when the wedding March was played
klOse nOunu ny I1ymen 8 betnef,
Adown the aisle, with Tapturous smile,
We two kept step together,
The years have sped, and we are old,
Who once were young aud sprightly,
But still within our hearts the flame
OF love is burning brightly
And though we've met with cloudy days,
And some tempestuOus weather,
True comrades still-thro' good or ill
We're keeping step together.

PoIiteness In Japan.
Exchange.

Exchange.
The men of Japan are excessively
polite to one another. They bend
their backs and bow their heads and
put their hands back to back between
their knees and have a great time.
But the most amusing thing is to see
two old ladies in Japan meeting one
another on the street. The street is
empty, we will say, and they catch
sight Of one another three or four
blocks apart. They Immediately be-
gin TO make obeisapce at one another,
and they keep bowing at short inter.
walls until they come together, when
they make that peculiar hiss by draw
ing in the breath and keep on saying
"Ohayo" for about two minutes. The
young things, the 4moosmais," are
very graceful in their greeting Of one
another, but the old ladies are ornate
and elaborate in their address.

Houston Post, ~
1t is a singular fact that the ablest
statesmen that this country has ever
produced have never been able TO fill
its highest Office. The present presi.
dent of the United States, 1t IS true,
is an able executive officer and far
above the average in ability of those
who have attempted TO fill the posi-,
tton he holds, but as a statesman who
would think Of comparing him with a
Calhoun, a Webster, a Clay, a Haynes,
OF a score of others that might be
named who are now living
The trouble has been that these
great men had too much political his
tory to be universally popular, and the
two great parties have been 50 equally
divided that each has felt that Ii ought
TO secure as its standard bearer the
most universally popular man it could
muster, Hence each has chosen men
whose negative virtues far exceeded
those Of a positive kind. Men of ex-
tTaordinary ability excite jealousy
among rivals and fear among the gen
eraliLY of mankind. Such men are
respected but not loved.
A man of fair ability and a good
reputation, that cannot be successfully
assaulted, therefore stands a much
better chance of being selected for
the highest office within the gift of
the people than those who tower above
their fellow men. Such we're Frank
Pierce, Buchanan, VIM, Henry Harri.

Polk, and such are the present Romi.
nees of both parties, if we except Al
Ian G. Thurman, who is one of the
most distinguished statesmen living.
We arc, therefore, left 10 iufer that
the nation at large considers any man
of good average ability and good
reputation, with a slight amount of
political experience, as a suitable per-
son TO be placed at the head Of the
government. Such being the case, 1t
is the Office, the position, that we are
bound to fall down and worship rather
than its occupant, and that by paying
due respect to the man we honor the
office. So it is the office and not the
man after all that is entitled to our
highest consideration, for after he has
left the Office and returned to private
life, he 10 always respected for the po-
sition he has held but no longer wor-
shipped. ... ,0

Irish World
Publious Vugilions Marc more Or
dinaily known as Virgil, Roman
farmer, agricultural writer aud poet,
was born seventy years before the
Christian era, and SO narked was. the
character Of his writings that the Pa

SyBlls, their sacred books, and 80 ad-
vanced were his teachings that the
earlier Christians were inclined to join
him with the ancient prophets as in
spired in his forecast of the coming
time Of aPoace on earth To men Of

Born thirty years after Julius Caesar,
he must have arrived at maturity in

Free bread and cireuses gratis tpaae-
meete cireenses) had long been Tie rail-
lying cry Of Roman demagogues, as
free trade and gratuitous cal rides are
now diuned into the American peo-
ple's ears,
Before C@sar's time such legislation
prevailed, and the historian tells as
"the effect was TO gather into the city
a mob Of the needy, unemployed
voters, living on the charity of The
State, to crowd the circus, and = y
certain to sell themselves 70 those who
could bid highest for their votes.p

latter period, wrote HThe fertile

for its subsistence on the haryests
which IFS fleets brought from Sicily,
Africa and Egypt, The people gave
themselves up N despair IN the fields,
as a beast Of burden lies down beneath
its load aud refuses 10 rise.
VirgiPs keen, natural intelligence,
probably spurred by his sufferings as
martyr to free trade, which be doubt
less shared with his brother farmers,
made him an intense advocate for the
integral production, Or, in other words,
a home market, where producers and
consumers could meet without the
artificial Intrusion Of superauous mid
dIomen. In his fourth pastoral as
translated by the poet Dryden, when
prophesyibg a future millennium be
wrote'
The last great age foretold by sacred rhymes,
Renews It's finished course sAturnian times
Roll round again, and mighty years heguu,
From their first orb In radiant circles run
The base degenerate iron offspring ends,
A golden pogeny from heaven deseends
The iarrtng nations he In peace shall bind
And with paternal virtues bind mankind,
And when to rlpeued manhood he shall grow
The greedy sailors shall the sea forego
No kecE &haN oNt Na aqGpes t0r foreign igare,
For euelg soil shall epaV product bSar
Surely that means integral produc-
tiOn and home markets.

have associated themselves, like the

Vestibuled Trains ON the B. ~ o.
R. R.

The first of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany's new vestbuled trains has been turned
out of Mt. Clare Shops and an experimental
trip was made with it August 16 h. The
ain was run from Baltimore to KAyser, 2l5
miles, in five hours. On the line between
Baltimore aud Keyser are some of sharpest
curves ON the b. s. o. Road, but notwith-
standing the high rate of speed maintained
the swayiug Of the train was scarcely per-
ceptible, the oscillation at the top of the car
not exceeding six inches.
This test fully demonstrates what has
heretofore been claimed for the vestibule
device and that is, that it fl .ctually obviates
the swaying motion impaired to train il
rounding curves at high speed. The new
train will be Immediately placed in regular
service between Philadelphia and Chicago
All other through trains on the B. & o
will be fitted with the vestibule applianc,
as rapidly is possible, aud within the mex
sixty days it is thought TO have the worl
