GREAT MEN OFTEN SMALL. What They Lack In Stature They Make Up in Intellect. Don't be ashamed of being small of stature. The finest brains are often found in the heads of little men, says (lie Baltimore. American. Alexander, Napoleon, lladislaus Cubilalis, the pigmy king of Poland; "Charncus, the wisest counsellor that was about, Saladiu, the great conqueror of tile east; Marius Maximus, Mar-| cus Tulliiis, and to drop down to this ' < day and general ion, Alexander 11. Stephens, Stephen A. Douglas, Jay (lonld, Samuel Spencer, Senator Knox, Abe timber, I'hil Sheridan and a host of otInn's all were small men; yet, as they say in the Bowery, they got there. Alypius of Alexandria, n most excellent logician and philosopher, was only one loot and il'ive inches in heiglrl. Augustus <?aeasar exnibited in his plays one Lucius, a young man twentyjtliree inches high and weighed seventeen pounds; yet he had a strong tenor voice and could sing like a nightingale. In |he time of Tlieodosius there was a pigmy in Kgvpt so small til' body thai lie resembled a partridge; yet iie exercised all the functions of a man ami eon Id sing merrily, lie lived to be 22. Julia, niece of Kmperor Augustus, had a dwarfish fellow of the name of Canopas. to whom she was much devoted, lie was twenty-eight inches high. Andromeda, a free maid of .Julia, was of the same height. .lust about a hundred years ago, in Wurlemhurg, at. tin1 nuptials of the duke of Bavaria, a great pie was set upon I he table. On being opened out stepped a dwarf, armed cap-a-pie, girl, with a sword a.id having a spear in his hand, lie walked around the table in a swasMuicklcd style, sword drawn, and caused the greatest amusement and interest. There was a little fellow in Italy who was carried around in a parrot,'s cau'e and exhibited for money. lie was only thirteen inches higli. A Frenchman of Limousin, with a formal beard, was also shown in a cage lor money, lie was about fifteen inches high. At the end of the cage was a Iit'lle hutch into which he retired. When I he house was full he slopped forth and played a tune on an instrument. doing away back?- without sitting down?Jeffrey Hudson was the wonder of his aye. His father was a butcher, slout and of good height, and his mother was a large woman. At the age of eight he was sixteen inches in height. The Duchess of Buckingham adopted him. She clothed him always in satin. At a royal least lie was served in a cold pie, walking forth in complete armor. Being presented to Queen Henrietta Maria, he offered her much annnsemenl. The king had a gigantic por- ' ter, William Kvans. in a mask ball at court. Kvans hauled out of one I pocket .1 1,.m I >af of 'm end and out 1 nf the i<i her little J e I t rev. I li is i dwarf was employed upon a delicate' mission hi France as ambassador. On his way home lie wa- captured by a Flemish pirate. I1U captivity is the subject of a poem by Sir William I>avenanl. entitled "Jeltrcdos. He lived to In (id years of age.
