DR.. Grants Latest.

A telegram from Washington states
that DR.. john Grant, of Texas, Is now
seeking the appointment of fourth as
sistant postmaster general.
The Texas postoffice statistics are
interesting at this time. On January
l, 1894, there were 2, 713 postoffices in
the state, classified as follows: Seven
first-class, salary So, 900 and upward; f.
teen second class, salary $1,000 to 49,
900; 106 third class, salary $1,000 to
1000; =, 3S5 fourth class, salary up to
900. One hundred and twenty eight
of the above, of the first, second and
third classes, are presidential Offices.
Thirteen cities have free delivery, as
follows: Austin, Corscicana, Dallas,
Denison. Ell Paso, Gainesville, Calves
ton, Houston, Laredo, Paris, San An
tonic, Sherman, Tyler and Waco.
With 2, 800 Grant men holding fourth
class postoffices, the Green men affect
to believe that the national committee
man would be something of boss him
self. Vice President Adlai Stevenson
made great reputation as ''official
headsman" in the first administration
given the country by President Cleve-
land.
If DR.. Grant should get the position,
it would give him a strong pull on fed.

GREATEST GREAT MEN.

The greatest theologian was st. Au-
gustine, whose body Of theology at pres
ent constitutes the major part OF the
doctrine Of the Roman Catholic church.
The leading experimental philosopher
was Bacon, who deemed that the sub
stance of all philosophy lay in testing
the accuracy Of the knowledge already
gained.
The most learned philosophical his
torian was Buckle. II is estimated that
. single foot-note in his History OF
Civilization" must have cost Ave years
of research.
Virgil was the greatest pastoral poet
who ever lived. Standing next to Homer
as a writer of epics. he nevertheless, in
some passages, excelIed his famous mas
ter.
The greatest Of all dramatists in any
age or country was Shakespeare. He
eIoelled in every line of drama, tragedy,
comedy and history, and in each was
equally good.
The first and, in most respects, the
greatest Of all tragic poets was Aes-
chylus. His delineation of the tragic
elements of human conduct has never
been surpassed.
