In the war between the northern and
southern states of America both armies
were composed Of great masses of newly
raised levies. Heaven born genius, unallied
with military education and knowledge, had
therefore the best chance of making itself
felt and of coming to the front. Yet what
is the lesson the history of that war teaches
usi All those whose names will be forever
remembered in connection with it by the
English speaking race throughout the world
were educated soldiers. Lee and Grant,
Stonewall jackson, Sherman. Mcclellan,
Sheridan, Longstreet Johnston, Hill, and q
host Of others, whose names are and will
long be household words in their own states,
were all graduates of West Point, that most
excellent of military colleges.
One of the greatest men of that excited and
memorable time was Abraham Lincoln, a
shrewd, clear headed man of business, of very
great natural ability and quick apprehension,
possessing, too, keen insight into human
character and endowed with a splendid
patriotism. All the best qualities he possessed
are indispensable to the general, but he knew
nothing of war or of the soldiers science.
Can his most ardent admirer imagine for one
moment that, had be been pitehforked into
the command of any of the northern armies
he would have succeeded Can it be sup
posed for y moment that our greatest of
artists, instinct though he was with artistic
genius from his birth, could ever have pro-
duced any great picture had chance made
him in early life vicar or doctorl 1t can
not be too fOrcibly impressed upon all who
aspire to high military positions that no
amount of Unborn genius, unless accom-
panied by deep and thoughtful study, can
ever secure them success.-Gen. Wolseley In

Soon Edison's mechanical skill became so
noted in the office that he was made superin-
tendent of the repair shop 1t was not long
before the value of his services was fully
shown. The several telegraph companies
hen in existence-the Franklin, Bankers and
Brokers, Southern and Atlantic and Atlantic
and Pacific-were using the Page sounder,
the sole right to which was claimed by the
Western Union company. Owing to the
Western Unions success in a patent fight
over the Page sounder, there came time
when an injunction was obtained silencing
all saunders of that type in the hands of
f 5usins and prA''''3 putting stop to our
Edison was called into the presidents office
and the situation explained. For a long time
he stood chewing his tobacco, looking first at
the sounder in his hand and then falling into
q brown study. At length he picked up a
sheet of tin used as back for manifolding
on thin sheets of paper, and began to twist
and cut it into queer shapes; meanwhile we
stood around looking on. Not a word was
spoken Finally Edison tore off the Page
"sounder" on the instrument before him, and
substituting his bit of tin, began working.

The railroads of the world are today worth
from twenty five TO thirty thousand million
dollars. This probably represents one-tenth of
the total wealth of civilized nations, and one
quarter, if not one-third, Of their invested
capital 1t is doubtful whether the aggregate
plant used in all manufacturing industries
can equal it in value. The capital engaged
in banking is but trifle beside it, The
worlds whole stock of money of every kind,
gold, silver and paper, would purchase only
q third of its railroad.
Yet these facts by no means measure the
whole Importance Of the railroad in the mod
ern industrial system. The business methods
of today are in one sense the direct results of
improved means of transportation. The
railroad enables the large establishment to
reach the markets of the world with its prod
ucts; it enables the large cities to receive their
food supplies, if necessary, from a distance Of
hundreds or thousands of miles. And while
it thus favors the concentration of capital, il
is in itself an extreme type of this coucen.
tration. Almost every distinctive feature Of
modern business, whether good or bad find:
in railroad history at once its chief cause anG
its fullest Development

Years ago l knew gentleman who settled
in the south, and became 50 popular in his
neighborhood that even the county fami-
lesn condescended to visit him. They never
could discover how he had made his money
but were satisfied by his solemn assurance
that it was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
coed the ordinary gravity of his demeanor,
which, indeed, caused him to be placed in the
commission of the peace; but now and then,
without any apparent proyocation, he would
burst into such laugh as no one ever heard
before, except IN one place " here they
could have heard it puzzled the county fami-
lies for fve-and-twenty years during which
they got allied with his, SO that when the
revelation came it did him no HARM but at
