WERE NOT PREcocIoUs.
Some Noted Men Who Developed
Late in Life.

The illustrious poet and novelist Sir
Walter Scott was an exceedingly dull
boy when at school. Prof. Dalzell said
of him when he was at the University
of Edingbursh: Ounce he Is and
Ounce he will remain" observes the
st. Louis Star.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan. the emln-
ent Irish orator and dramatic author.
was so stupid when boy that his
mother upon one occasion introduced
him to a tutor with the remark: He
is an incorrigible Ounce"
Dean Swift, the eloquent divine and
humorist, was by no means bril-
liant boy. He was plucked at Dublin
university and obtained his recommen-
datlon to Oxford special gratia."
oliver Goldsmith while student at
Trinity college, Dublin, was notorious
for idIeness and stupidity. In after
years he spoke of himself as "a plant
that fowered late"
DR.. Adam Clarke. the English theo-
logical writer. was so very obtuse
when boy that his father called him
a "grlevous Ounce"
The poet. Thomas Chatterton was
sent home to his mother with the very
discOuraging accompaniment that he
wsD "fool Of whom nothing could be
made"
Scotlands national poet, Robert
Burns, was dull boy, good at Moth
ing save athletic exercises"
The great italian dramatist, Vittomo
Alfierl, was a most unsuccessful stu
dent. and left college but little wiser
than when he entered 1t.
When schoolboy Isaac Barrow was
noted for his savage temper. his idle
ness and his stupidity. He caused his
parents much trouble, and his father
often said: "If 1t pleases God to take
anv of my children away from me I
hope It may be Isaac, the least promis-
ing Of them ALL"
Sir Humphrey Davy, the eminent
English chemist and natural philoso-
pher. was but an Ordinary" schoolboy,
giving no promise of future greatness.
Robert Give, the English general.
was dubbed "dunce" when boy, and
to get rid of him his family gladly
permitted him to go as an ensign to
india. He fought his way to a colonel
cy by the time he reached manhood,
distinguished himself in 1851 by his
success against the French, and in 1876
saved the English rule in India by
driving Surja- -ad-Dowlah out of CAL
cutta and routing his army. Eventually
he returned to England wealthy and
covered with honor.
DR.. Thomas Chalmers, a Scottish di-
vine and author, was so dull and cared
so little for learning when boy that
he was dismissed from the parish
school as being hopeless Ounce"

PROGRESS IN CUBA.
Reconstruction Of the Cane and
Sugar Districts - Dady's
Contract.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Havana, Oct. 7.--Marked and sub
stantial agricultural prosperity is re-
ported throughout the region lying
between Havana and Cienfugos. The
reconstruction of the cane and sugar
Centrals is actively proceeding, and
the restoration of commercial conf
dence in agricultural ventures is grad
ually made evident by the large i'm
portation Of American refining and
agricultural machinery which has been
recorded.
Both the sugar and the tobacco in
dustries are settling down to q large
and permanent production, and the
earnings are now estimated at over
$6,0OO,OOO. New sugar machinery is at
present in the course Of erection in
various parts Of the island.
During the last three days, 1850 i'm
migrants from the Canary Islands and
Barcelona have arrived here and have
left for the country districts, where
employment is readily obtained. This
continued influx partially solves the
labor question, many Of the plantations
having been idle owing to lack of labor
to cultivate them. Cuban labor Is dila-
tory, and does not want work by rea-
son of long inactivity in peaceful oc-
cupations. Senor Perfecto Lacoste. the
minister of agriculture, extends every
inducement to desirable immigrants,
and high authorities say that carefully
governed desirable immigration will be
the salvation of Cuba.
Michael Dady's contracts for sewer
ing and paving this city were discussed
in the Ayuntamiento last night. AL
derman Alfredo Zayas,in long speech,
advocated the acceptance Of the re-
vised Joint plans, pointing to the neces-
sity of sewering Havana immediat tely.
He was opposed by Alderman Gonzales
Sarrainz. who said he was willing to
accept Mr.. Dady's original plans, but
not the revised plans insisting that the
American military engineers were not
competent to pronounce opinions on
the sewerage question.
Alderman Pablo Mendieta moved
that the Dady contract, as 1t stood.
with the additions of the military en-
gineers be Endorsed by vote Of ap-
proval by the Ayuntamiento.
Alderman Sarrainz objected to the
removal of the right of subasta (the
judicial sale of goods by public auc-
tion), claiming that the project in It's
entirety should be submitted to con-
tractors all the world over for COM
petitive bidding.
The vote of the Ayuntamlento on the
subject was postponed until October g..

from that Of previous months. All Tines
of securities showed improvement until
Friday, when the rise was checked.
This was followed by rather heavy
falls yesterday, but the weeks trading
shows a moderate rise.
Coal and iron shares rose steadily
until Friday, notwithstanding the
gloomier reports from the iron centres.
The weakness Of the iron Is apparently
growing, some reductions in wages and
discharges of operatives having been
reported during the week. Manufac-
turers Of structural iron in Germany
are trying to find relief for the dull
ness Of the home market by Under
bidding Belgian manufacturers. The
German hardware trade Is particularly
dull. A prominent west German screw
manufacturer has increased rebates to
40 per cent.
The coal situation remains strong,
but the opinion prevails that the scar
city will soon be over. The syndicate
has decided to raise prices in the few
grades after few days. A cargo Of
New river coal. 1000 tons, has reached
Antwerp for the upper Rhine, where
the price will be 271s marks.
