THE GREATEST NAN.

We were speaking of great men and the
question arose as to whose was the great
est name in history.
By the way, did you ever notice by what
devious channels conversation Will now
from one subject to another? Go back on
the trail some time and you will be sur
prised by what a circuitous route you nave
travelled from topic to topic until, by a
perfectly natural course, you have connect
ed things which logically you would sup
pose entirely disconnected. Nor viii you
reach the same goal twice by precisely the
same course. For instance. we began with
the weather. Why the weather should be
the fundamental basis Of half the CONVEX
sation in the civilized world Is in itself a
question which has never been properly
elucidated. Not only does polite intercourse
depend largely upon the weather for its
main support, but it is often the inspira-
ton of the poet and the philosopher. 1 am
inclined to believe tina weather is simply
Fate, materialized and presiding over the
destiny of all. On the evening before We
had started similarly but concluded with a
discussion of prize fighting. Blu tonight
when the Major came "a and remarked
with precisely the same words. the same
information and the same expression, This
Joshua was reminded of the fall of 1862.
The Major thereupon recalled the day ne
enlisted, and the rising young attorney
asked him his opinion of Mcclellan. This
being deliberately given brought on a dis
cussion of the merits of other great COM
manders of the civil war. of America. Eu-
rope, of the worlo. And then some one
was mentioned as the greatest man who
tions were taken. The Major claimed the
honor for Washington, but the rising young
attorney suggested Napoleon. Uncle JOSH
ua held forth for Martin Luther, but the
rising young attorney rather leaned toward
Calvin. The Doctor nominated Simpson.
whereupon the r. y. a moved TO amend
this by substituting the name of Jenner.
Judge Smart defended Shakespeare, until
the r. y. a.. reminded him of Donnelly,
Bacon, etc.
But the one-eyed stranger from Kentucky
arose at last with a yawn, and taking a
fresh chew, said simply and somewhat
scornfully, Gentlemen, they amt no use
arguin' this thing, fer 1 tell ye Adams the
man."
We adjourned. for even the r. ". a. was
silenced. 49, VI ~

but cannot refute the one-eyed strangers
assertion. True. if we estimate a mans
greatness by the good he has done human
kind, Adams record will not bear inspec-
ton. And yet, when / have complied a list

A. pax. Arc Nnrrowing.

The days are narrowing by slow degrees,
The cricket sounds a sad note on his fiute,
The robins, shivering. are distraught and
mute,
The leaves are rustling on half-naked trees;
One looks in vain for butterflies and bees;
The farmers gather up the windfall fruit
And autumn dons its tattered russell suit
Prepared TO struggle with the northern
breeze.
What though the outer world be cold and
gray,

The longer evening comes with shorter day;
May happy comradeship new joys impart;
So let the fan days narrow IL Loves ray

Now rain falls hard and the hearth is cold,
And gods and men ignore you,
And gone are the hopeful days OF old,
And black are the days before YOU;
n soul and body crave in vain,
And the world is a place of weeping,
And death Is the only end Of pain,
And life is not worth keeping.
Now the sun shines clear or the moon is
fair
That paints the hills and byways.
And gladder than wine is the sweet, rich
ar.
And gay are the well-trod highways.
IT'S a world OF smiles and love. and rife
Are the joys of the good gods giving,
And the man Is a fool who gibes at life,
And great is the cheer OF living.

Another well-known straight specially
company will be seen at the Empire one
week, commencing tomorrow matinee, in
the engagement of the New York Stars.
This excellent attraction has visited the
Empire each season since the opening. and
has always proved a winner. The Boston
Herald has the following to say Of the
show: 'The audience that crowded the
Palace Theater last night to be amused at
the sense and nonsense contained in the
men of the New York Stars troupe, hold
ing the boards there this week, was not dis
appointed Among those who Kept the
stage active were the Crane brothers, with
their nonsensical foolery. Fred Leslie APP
pears with his trained dogs. Their feats
of leaping are astonishing, and it is hard
to say who deserves the credit-their train
er or the natural sagacity of the dogs. One
of the specialties in the performance was a
transformation dance, which consisted in
keeping a great flowing robe in a perpetual
motion, on which were thrown stereopticon
views of anything and everything. The bill
is made up of the following speciality peo-
pie: Leonard and Moran, the w~ell-known
Irish comedians; Lima and Vani, Nine.
Flora, Fred Leslie and his trained dogs.
DAILY and Devere, Nellie Waters, the Gardi-
ner brothers., brothers Crane, G. w. Little
field, Fred Huber and others of that class.
The show is a good one all through"
