Oman In the Street,

Emerson was not the first to use this
phrase in his Conduct Of Life" which
was published in 1860. In the first Sc
ries of the "Greville Memoirs" under
date March %, 1880, occurs the follow
ing passage:
"Then will come the question Of a
dissolution, which one side affirms will
take place directly. and the other that
the king will not consent to it, know
ing, as the man in the street (as we
call him at Newmarkeb always does,
the greatest secrets Of kings and being
the confidant of their most hidden
thoughts
1t would appear from this that the
expression was in common use among
racing men in 1S30.--Notes and Que

There Is no question that our fore
fathers supposed that benefit might be
derived from causing schoolboys to be
spectators of the hangings Of criminals.
Sir Walter Scott has borne testimony
to this custom being not unknown in
Scotland. In 1.-THE Heart of Midlo-
THAN" Mr.. Saddletree is represented
az saying:
promised to ask half play day to the
schulz so that the BARNS might gang and
see the hanging, which Gamma but have q

ROMAN MILLlONAlRES.
TIT Phenomenon of Mammoth For
tunes Not n New Thing.

tunes Not New Thing.
While it is not a very tangible CON
ISOLATION to those of us who belong to
the less favored class commercially,
there is at least sort of historic COM
fort in knowing that the phenomenon
Of mammoth fortunes is not a new
thing.
A magazine writer goes back to an
cient Rome, when there were no rail-
roads or trusts or corporations, and
gives some figures on the individual
fortunes of that day which might look
attractive even to some of our modern
plutocrats.
Seneca, the philosopher and author,
was worth $17,5OO.OOo; Lentulus, the
augur, $16,600,00O; Crassus, the poll
tician who formed with Caesar and
Pompey the first triumvirate, had a
landed estate Of more than 100000;
the emperor Tiberius left a fortune Of
Sis, 1000, 900, which the depraved Calig-
ula got rid of in less than q year. A
dozen others had possessions that ran
into the millions.
It is true that these Romans did not
make" these fortunes in what we
would call regular commercial opera
tons. But they got the money, and
they held on to it, which is about all
that can safely be said Of possessions
that run into seven figures in any age
or country.
And, speaking Of campaign contribu-
tons and so forth, Julius Caesar once
presented the consul Paulus with $780,
600 merely as a token of esteem and
coupled with the hope that Paulus
would do the right thing in a certain
political matter that was pending. The
argument was effective with Paulus,
and neither he nor Caesar suffered any
in popularity.
There are many things under the
sun that are not new.-Omaha World.

POLITICAL.

A politician in landing a job is very
much like a woman in landing a hus-
band. He puts in all his work before
he gets the job and forgets to keep up
appearances after he has it.-Atchison

We have no word to say against pol
itics. Only it need not absorb us COM

other things and who make a decent
living by hard work can give too much
time to politics-that is. too much for
their own good News.

Power of Words.

Words have not their import from the
natural power of particular combina-

which might have signified with equal
propriety by any other.-Oliver Crom-
