No other American except Lincoln has ever been looked up to by so many youths and young, men as ay inspiration and as a civic model as MT. Roosevelt.

 peculiar catastrophe in the shape of a moving bog recently occurred in Gal way.
 No one who has not visited tho soene can have any idea of It's horror and mis- cry. The district is at all times subject to floods, but when these floods are ac- oompanied by tons upon tons of moving bog travelling at the rate of about miles all hour the consequence cannot fail to be terrible and disastrous beyond all con- ception.
 Unlike most of the former bog slides there were in the present instance obso- lutely no premonitory signs of the dread full upheaval, the recent heavy rains being generally regarded as the cause of the calamity. No one seems to have seen the actual bursting of the bounds within which the peat had been confined, the first tntimation of what was happening being the strange and alarming sounds which reused the farmer Martin from sleep, only to find his cottage partially surrounded by the oncoming torrent of water and peat.
 He succeeded in warning most of his neighbors. with the exception of one poor old widow whose cottage was almost in- stantly swallowed up. Mercifully no other lives have been lost, but many families have been left homeless and destitute.

WASHINGTON AND
 LINCOLN SUFFERED
From Leslie's Weekly.


 Standing in times of supreme crises, no two men in our public life have been more maligned or misunderstood. AS command er-in-chief of the revolutionary armies, Washington was reviled and plotted against, yet his splendid self-control was never shaken. In conscious rectitude Of purpose, he wrapped himself as in a cloak. Driven from coveted secluson at Mt. Yer non, to become the first President of the infant state, newspapers and politicians vented all their spleen upon him, even ac- cusing him. of aspiring to be king under the guise Of democracy. Jefferson de- cfared that he was the most sensitive man to criticism that he ever knew. New ertheless, as commander of the army, so now, as President he endured with pa- tience the taunts of traducers. 50 much patience of mind' says Owen Mister, seems never to have belonged to any other great man." But a close second, at least. Is Lincoln. By the south. whose am- bitions he was thwarting, he was hated with an intense hatred. yet did he not ever maintain friendly spirit toward the south? By the radical wing of his own party, greatest abuse was heaped upon him. because. forsooth, his pace upon ab- olitton was too slow; still. though sad dened at heart not once did infinite pa tence desert him. Criticised and con spired against, even by members of his cabinet for the sake of his country he held his peace. Like all great spirits he was content to bide the time when all men would come to appreciate the singieness and unselfishness of his motives. In our own feverish day bent as we are on doing things and broolsing no stay from any hand. We do we'll to look to our two su- preme names to note their quality of sim pie patience with fellow men and with slow unfolding of events one of the surest tokens of their real greatness.
