Mn. Kditor; Thero bio dlll'erent modes of
measuring human power. Tbe most common
method Is by tho value of tho works that It-
accomplishes; but the, most just, I believe, Is
by tho difficulties which an Individual or a
peoplo encounter and successfully overcome,
such as literally hewing their' way step by
slep, onward and upward, unaided, through
obstacles which to tho gonorallty'of mankind
would seem lo ba Insuperable. Yt tit Is no
ldlo tale, but a trua story of triumphant mo
cuss and grandeur, accomplished by the In
