ot this letter would like to kiuw try op < n
ion concerning tho present contest 1 am
In favor of the contest but Ill tell you it
Is n hard matter lor tne to dcotdo who
was tho grandest character boee 1 ftiO
Thero are so many illustrious men fa-
mous as philosophers warrlbis and poets
that tho question punlco my brain Alex
atidcr the Great in my estimation was he
greatest warrior that tho world had ever
produced tip to the above mentioned v f
He with ii3i army of about TiOOiX inch lu
Made < l Persia and engaged In battle with
no less than a million well drilled Persian
soldiers who were commanded by able of-
ficers After a bard rouKilit battle Alex-
ander was victorious and Persia was com-
pletely subdued Germaiilcus wis ulso a
great general and was one of the grand-
est and noblest characters In Roman his-
tory Jlo conquered Germany and took
the hero Armlnius and his empress and
family prisoners Itcyond a il > ubt 1 Ihtnk
Eplctotnis was the greatest philosopher
that over lived He was born at llleri
IK > lls In Phrygla of poor paivnts but
succeeded In securing for himself a good
education Ho spent his early life in
Home as a slave liming leci mild In that
city by his parents It Is supposed that
his master thought him u smart buy for
he was permitted to attend tho lectures
of c Musonlus Kuril un eminent Stole
philosopher nnd soon bpcamo one of 11s
sehoOars After several years of slavery
In Homo ho made his cseapo to Nloopolls
in Eplrns and taught school until ho was
very old
