HERCULES MAKING,

The ancient Greeks were in the habit
of recording the great deeds of their EN-.
inent men and forgetting the names of
the actors. They would ascribe them
all to Hercules. Do we not make the
same mistaken We make Hercules of
Columbus, and forget to do honor to tn
other eminent discoverers such us Cabot,
Carter, Hudson and Vespucia. Wash.
ington is made Hercules to the dispar-
agement of Green, Putnam, Knox al d
host of other brave heroes. In the
Mexican war Scott il the Hercules, Ia; .
lor, Twigs, Butler and others being al
most forgotten.
1t is the same in arts and sciences
Morse is gwen the honor of inventing
the electric magnetic telegraph, while
Joseph Heng invented Tor rather discov-
ered) the principle on which the tele-
graph works. Professor Vale really
supplied the mechanism that gave the
idea body. To Prof. Henry Morse is
owed the spirit and to Mr.. Vale the
body Of the telegraph.
In photography NJ. Degvare is the
hero who wears the honors and with
much justice. Yet he was not alone in
making the discovery by which pictures
were taken by the SUMS rays 40 years
before M. Degvare made hIs discovery.
Profs. Wedgegood and Davy took pic
lures with the aid of the suns rays.
After Degvare came NJ. Talbot with i'm
provements of Degvare's system. And
like all other great inventions this one
was the joint work of many master
minds.
Watt is the Hercules of steam. Yet
the many discoveries and inventions
that gave to the world the perfect steam
engine have been spread over more than
two centuries and have employed the
best thoughts OF a score of minds. In
1860 Captain Thomas Savery patented a
machine for raising water by steam.
In 17O6 Savery, Thomas Newcome and
John Cawley patented an engine in
which they had combined a cylinder
and piston with separate boiler, The
piston was driven by steam which was
afterwards condensed by the application
of cold water to the outside. At first
the valve, for the admission of steam
were worked by hand. A boy named
Humphrey Potter thus employed, in
vented an Improvement by which the
engine itself was made 10 perform this
task. Many other devices and improve
mcnts were made by others before
James Watt gave us the steam engine
in its present form. ADoLPHus.

While some OF the Republican papers
are complimenting Mr.. Randall upon his
views as expressed in his speech on the
Mills bill, it would seem from the follow
ing from the Telegraph (Rep.) Of his own
city that lie is losing his grip even in his
native city. That paper says:
"Mr. Randall disappointed his auditors
yesterday not because OF physical weak
ness, but because OF the weakness of his
position. His speech was, as his bill be-
fore it WAS, an obstructive device. He saw
tariff revision advancing along certain
road to success, and he flung under It's
wheels the obstruction Of proposed re-
duction OF the revenue from internal taxes
amounting to S77, 100000, repeating all
them except so cents on whiskey. In all
this Mr.. Randall is scarcely fair to him
self or to his previous record. He was
wont TO be tariff reformer, which is quite
3 different thing from a free-trader. He
need not fear ever being through the latter !;
but he needs TO fear that II he and others
prove successful in their efforts 10 stop the
way Of any adequate sort OF revision Of the
tariff. Of revision based upon lines which
will afford absolute protection to our ma
tive industries without creating and main
tanning obnoxious monopolies, the whole
fabric OF the tariff, protection included,
will be swept ANY,"

The Kind or Wives Wanted.
tAtlanta Constitutional

lAtlanta constitutional
Lexington, KY, has theological school
some OF the students Uf which have pro-
voked great deal of criticism by attend
ing the theater and by publishing IN their
college paper the following racy descrip-
tion of the kind of girls they want for
wives: "The buxom, bright-eyed, rosy.
checked, full-breasted, bouncing lass, who
can darn stocking, mend trousers, make
her own frocks, command a regiment of
pots and kettles, feed the pigs, chop wood,
milk cows, wrestie with the boys and be a
lady withal in company is just the sort OF
girl for me, and for any worthy man to
marry. But you, ye pining, moplng, lol-
ling, screwed-up. wasp wasted. putty
faced, consumplive, mortgage, music mur-
dering, novel devourIng daughters of
fashion and idleness; you are no more Fl
for matrimony than pullet is 10 look
after family of fourteen chickens. The
truth is, my dear girls, you want mure
liberty and less fashionable restraints, more
kitchen and less parlor, more leg exercise
and less sofa, more u lding and less piano,
more frankness and less mock modesty
more breakfast and lesa hustle. Loose
yourselves little, enjoy more liberty aud
less restraint by fashion, breathe the pure
atmosphere OF iIeedom, and become some
thing as lovely and beautiful rs the God
OF nature designed"
lThese theological students have an eye
10 business as well ss domestic felicity.
They know what kind OF women will make
bread winners. They have, no doubt,
heard of the poor girl who in spite Of the
geera oi friends about starvation, etc., who
said in The presence Of the young man Of
equal poverty that she would "marry him
# she had 10 live on bread and water"
The young man with equal patriotism,
said II she would furnish the bread lie
would skirmish around for the water."1

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Rep.) makes this comment on the Phil
aSelpbia Plesse' latest Blame eruption
"It should be taken into consideration
that the Press is an abiding Blaine pa
per, and that while the candor of lis ed
itor is clear, he yet is so strong for
Blaine that his sympathies appear in
his calculations. The friends OF Sher-
man and Gresham will claim a larger
allowance OF votes than the Press allowF.
Sherman's friends have not seen reason
to revise their estimate that at the be
ginning their strength may be counted
about 800. OF course it was certain at
first that the nomination would go to
Blame il he was a candidate. 1t is Ger
tain now that no one will be nominated
who does not receive the support Of
Blaine's friends"

A new argument against Greshams can
idacy has been put forward during the
past few days, coming apparently from
Tom Plat and his allies. 1t is that il
Gresham were to be the candidate, none of
the great corporations or large capitalists
would contribute penny to the RepublI-
can campaign fund. 1t ia feared that Jay
Gould would even go so far rs TO contri-
butte 10 the Democratic fund, so intensely
does he dislike Judge Gresham. Natural
y this argument has great weight with
the Tom Plalt variety OF politicians.
"What would be the use of campaign
without big fund to handle ?" they are al |
asking. at is all well enough TO talk
about protecting the American working,
nj IN against the pauper labor OF Europet
but what is 10 become OF us il we cam
make nothing out of the campaign ?
They are all basing great hopes upon De-
pew because they say, his candidacy would
call forth heavy contributions from every
corporation and capitalist in the country.
Whether he could be elected or not is an
entirely different consideration, and TO
their minds much less momenlous one

Chicago reporter, in the course of which
he declared reconstruction and the en-
franchisement of the negro mistake,
and said (: "The Republican party
should have made the colored people the
wards of the nation. We should have
thrown about them the most perfect
legal protection which our Ingenuity
could devise, but we should not have
given them the ballot. This has caused
excitement among Arkansas Republi-

before them for their decision.
