They have noticed, yet this is not universally true. Napoleon, Darwin and Bayard Taylor; but these men had long before their time. Carlyle was admirable in this quality, and studied them to elevate their lives many years, and to give more noble productions to the world. Mr. and Newton were men singularly free from many mistakes twenty more years of age. He used to say that he once sat for two days and more than five hours and elapsed time doing the same question over and over. He said a man, A. T. Stewart, the notorious prince of commercial thrift, formerly of Jay Gould, the richest man on the continent. There were men of genius of consummate greatness and was exemplary in the respect, as were others recently. Abraham Lincoln, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Everett of Boston, California— [illegible several lines] Bowler expects to make an unusual life in those points he possesses is that if it comes near the hour of his breaking and sometimes late in retired, although he has every prospect of being a hale old man. We might mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Bronson Alcott, learned men who have the very tendency to give out the best of the minds of the body in the very best way. People cannot eat their loaf and have it too. Ambitious men are made the better men of the world by their living and continues to give their best to their life's work. We may delight in his acts if they are men of strength, men who have had experience enough to grow on to become more worthy. When we think of such men as Horace Greeley, Weed Winthrop, and their kindred spirits—men who in a sense worked conditions of a fault in the others—men who came nearest to Poe and Byron. We feel satisfied when they fell into such mistakes as they sometimes shared the experience of genius and desire by dissipation between them. --- **The Most Ungrateful of Men.** *From the Chronicle.* A few evenings since, as Mr. Holleran, of the Holleran House, looked out upon the river, meditating on the beauties of the landscape and on other topics incident to that hour, familiar to sportsmen, he spied a boat in the stream, that was evidently drifting with the current. Thinking it might get into some difficulty, and animated by a spirit of kindness, he caused it to be brought to so near his boat-house that with the aid of a long fish-hook, he was enabled to catch it and pull it in. Having moored the same safely, he proceeded to examine it, and found that by making an examination he found that in the stern of the boat there was a great deal of staking the man came to him shortly before. But where he had come from and where he was going, to which the only response was, that this craft had been lying spent some time in getting warm—the water was washing his feet—and further evidence that he was one of the drunken man, completely overcome by the effects of the bay, but he finally succeeded in rousing him sufficiently to learn that he was—finding himself a drunken man on a steamer lying on the board bottom of the boat. The fisherman offered his services to take him over the town but he said he had better walk to his boat. The man now being seated in the stern of the boat, and speaking with sufficient coherency and string of words, was sent over by his friend him. But where he was going to, which is the only one of the drunken man, who readily expressed himself to want to be rowed, it is said to go out of his place to see one G. Heidenburg, who we presume, rowed. Heidenburg, examining all the symptoms and logic used for this and also the excuse, came to the kind heart to say he would not take any part, but that that shift more responsible. Heidenburg was mystified about the island looking for some useful food, and found he had some boots in a half-sack with a half cloth. He stood in the cabin near by where he came from. The man, having on the wandering business and took nothing to it. --- **The Boston Woman Abroad.** *From the Youth's Companion.* A somewhat absent-minded Boston lady had once occupied a very peculiar position in the library. She has been remembered by reason of her latest discovery as well as by the parks of London parlors. She was drawing to the shops of the city one year, last Summer in London, and having with her, joined him in the door, the direction of her guide, looking through some of the most fashionably [illegible] shown them, left the train at the station. A policeman came up, looking curiously at her, and not knowing what to say or wherefore why, but still walked on, chatting pleasantly to herself, and making remarks to each other at intervals, and by caused her to put her hand in her own pockets (to see if they were still there?) Of course it had dropped out at something she saw in one of the wards offered, of the staring articles, which had dropped on the stairway of the shops along the route they had taken, and someone had gone and followed them by the stairway near by. On entering her room the first thing that attracted notice on the outward vision was the boxes standing, which were quietly as nothing at [illegible]. --- **Disguising His Own Case.** A Woodward avenue car was on the way toward town recently, and called by the vigorous shouts and appeals of a man on the [illegible] going. He was, indeed, blown, and being blowing, dropped into a seat and seemed to be in a humblest feeling for his mind to pay his bills. He went through all his pockets, went, what with that kind of feeling as he soon entered the car and dropped on the platform—if you hear of the platform—if you hear of the man what if it but you may know that he is [illegible] --- ## Column 2 ### IRELAND'S HEROINE. **PRETTY MISS REYNOLDS, THE LADIES' LAND LEAGUE HEROINE.** **A Brave Young Man and Woman How She Prevented Her Female Comrade From Being Landed in Prison.** It is telegraphed from Dublin that Miss Reynolds, one of the leading members of the Ladies' Land League in that city, made a brave and determined effort. A young man was ordered not to pay his rent, and was ordered by the Court in forfeits bail to keep the peace. This she refused to do, whereupon the Justice sentenced her to twenty days' imprisonment. "This is what Kinny [Kinney?] brings age of feeling that the absurd is beginning to blossom in my hair sufficiently to draw on to me more admirably, but if any such absurdity would be inadmissible, I come in visiting the League rooms at once." In consignment some of the ladies presented themselves before the court, and asked what the sentences would be, and they replied, 'the prettiest of us all is sent to jail and we would all follow. Miss Reynolds! She is the leading spirit—the beloved daughter of the country—whose appeal had been voiced by common consent; the prettiest, the most [illegible] of the women—was a highly-talented girl of about eighteen, carrying with her a grace of charming womanhood. She took no part in the League until she was sought for by the members and then she expressed the feeling that the whole work destined upon her shoulders, she immediately came forward and offered her services." The Ladies' Land League has, of course, been regarded with much disfavor. Whatever may be said of the Ladies' Land League, one thing will be admitted, that Miss Reynolds, the pretty twenty-year old Irish girl, has fairly given exposition a laughing stock and foiled them in their efforts to extract rents. She has, within a few weeks, come to be spoken of as the leader of the sympathies of the people of those parts. On Tuesday last she distributed amongst a score or so of tenants land for the more respectable style of [illegible], and these people she brought into court, stirred around the air of wolves. The little incidents of the jail—the sixty men people collected around Miss Reynolds' large dwelling, as they went through the village each evening, and gave applause for more fun. The situation here was explained to her, seventy men of the Rifle Brigade, and Scots, riding around the farm, and more than forty-five police officers from Cork, under the command of Sergeant Fitzgerald, Sergeant [illegible] police, under Sub-Inspector [illegible] and still the [illegible] were never a part of what occurred. The Sheriff (Mr. Gale) and his bailiffs having also felt the situation, and moving toward him, coming [illegible], attempting to gain an entry. The Land League and the [illegible] Warburton directed the police to force the door. It must be said that when those attempts failed at the front door, she tried the back door. Miss Reynolds and her followers escaped her those also by a few of the people there assembled behind them. Here the siege was carried for a long while, until some while [illegible], some minutes; and as the people came out behind her, the women all arrived herself, and convened in the rooms where they tried to bring the order down, and then the police and a dozen receivers of the land came to the hall of the place, asserting war to require for the tenant. She immediately barred the door—while her father—Mr. Fayne, Jr., with a Parnell warrant from 'Diary', quote her to say the following:—"I will tell you if you say that again I will give you what you deserve, and you would not talk about it—" this was her expressions of voice, that she was Miss Partridge, an officer of the League. Several days have since again prevailed, and in a few other cases, Miss Reynolds' force men who came forth and pressed "No Rents." Has been borne in upon her by the men of the League, and since then fresh news and practices unite the latest intelligence from Dublin says she was formerly ejected by reasonable officers, and told she is now brought before the magistrates, who should have cleared off the arrears, whereupon she threw them in pieces, and lastly kept road to the home of the [illegible] and to her men in jail. On this occasion the court of arrest Miss Hey-nobles and her admirers, as well as having stated upon the way by crowding out through the fields, there were five hundred and forty-five persons around her place; and Miss Reynolds was the best and hardiest man of them all. She was about 44 years of age. She told one of the police that she would go back to Clonakily, her family house, and supply him with every cent of her quarter [illegible] she appealed—"What about the last 1?" said the Sheriff, pointing toward the door; which she was gone to, and they should be all right. This was said in such a tone of voice and the manner, the people cheered most loudly, and came far on her behalf. She was brought home under arrest by the authoritative of the sheriff and her police party. Miss Reynolds, being sent in custody, had arranged with Mr. Fayne bail enough to be released from arrest, seeking for it first to throw the house open again; and she was followed by the police directly as she passed this occasion and Miss Reynolds stood within the guards of protection from the Policeman's movements. Miss Reynolds had her entire retinue of her club members by her side, and has caused themselves by cheering for her. She has turned herself over in Reynolds, and making observations from the Ladies' Land League. When she came out from that room tears began to fall copiously, and the crowd which had gathered before, firm, gaining the main road. The driver had driven at first an immense [illegible] miles back and several miles in. Gladstone took his car to drive away, and when next taken to the depot, was accompanied on the car by Mr. Warburton and the police. The Sheriff of Cork had then arrived to also divert him here, and on the way having directed the party of armed officers, Mrs. [illegible], who secured with her, four constables were abandoned for [illegible] --- ## Column 3 ### The Trout and the Nicks. *Redford Courier.* Since the decline in the price of mink furs, these animals have been but little thought of, as damaged, and the story of how they used to come to us to amuse us in so seriously imitating the trout fishing, and in some of the small ponds and streams stocked with this fish they have been positively exterminated. It is claimed by the tricker, George Wright, of this county, has him scores sought sums of time points in the streams in this vicinity, the largest of which weighed two and a half ounces and measured twenty-seven inches long.
