The hdppiest men in the South
are those who live at home, busy
with their own affairs and expect
nothing at the hands of the gov
eminent. And probably the
most miserable class Of men in
the country are those who are
trying to draw their rations from
the public crib Offce-holding
temporariiy-and one cannot
reasonably expect to hold Office
all the time--to a certain extent
units a man for the general bus>
mess affairs of life, and the dis
carded office-holder then has to
commence business on his own
hook at a disadvantage. Much bet
ter is it for a man to adopt some
business avocation, stick 20 it.
and build up a business of his
own that will not be dependent
upon the fck!eness Of the public
mind.
THERE dropped into our city
Saturday evening a genius-a
veritable genius, a character
such as would have delighted
Dickens. He stood on an empty
goods box in front of the Hotel
Kennon, and a crowd of a hun
dred or more surrounded him,
listening eagerly. The man,
who vas perhaps so years of
age, was not dressed in the
finest, and he frankly stated that
he was a stranded actor. He
recited several catchy pieces
that drew the crowd to him and
won their admiration. Presently
he said he would give them a bit
of Roman history. In we'll chosen
words, with great terseness, he
told the story of Caesars life and
the conditions and seditions of
those times IN Rome and the
provinces, then played the scene
from the tragedy between Cas-
sius and Brutus. The delivery
of the lines vas superb. No liv-
ing American actor could speak
them with more dramatic power
or poetic appreciation. His re-
citai of ''Curfew Shall not Ring
Tonight" was mastery and
thrilling. while his explanation
of 1.-The Raven" and his recita
ton, afterwards, of that famous
poem clothed it with new inter~
est. And what a voice! Power
full. resonant, deep, with notes
whose richness and vibration re-
sembled a cathredal organ. 1t
was truly a treat rare and unex-
