We once heard man say that he haC
"a great weakness for beef steak" We
know Of no better word than "weakness'
by which to designate the appetite, or pas
sion, for speech-making among Americans.
Not that Americans, especially those oI
New England, love to make speeches, but
that they love to hear them. No public
dinner is finished without speeches. No
presen: can be made to quiet and retr.
ing individual, in q quiet way, such as
would be most agreeable to his feelings. bnt
he is obliged to be stuck before an audience,
and to have speech made at him to which
he expected to respond. The people are
not content to let legislator become
worker for their interests, in the most eff
cient way, but he must make speeches-no
matter whether there is call for them or
not. If be cannot speak, he cannot be
elected the second time 1t is speechify or
die" But il is at dinners that this thing
is carried to the greatest extremes. What
there should be in the process of putting
down roast beef and potatoes that calls up
the idea Of intellectual entertainment, we
cannot guess and we have often wonder
cd why a custom which every speaker
would gladly see abolished is allowed to
live.
Many a man is kept away from public
diuners, where he would enjoy himself very
much, aud be instrumental in giving enjoy
ment to others in conversation, by the fear
thai he will be called upon to make a set
speech. The speaking is great bug-bear
to sensitive men, and it takes rare accom-
plishments, or rare brass, to eat with ap-
petite and equanimity with the prospect of
a speech before one. The thing is repug-
nant to all the associations of feeding, and
the whole theory of digestion Familiar
end informal conversation is the stuff with
which to mingle edibles and potables.-
The mind should be free, uueonstrained
without apprehension, when either eating or
digestion is in progress. Everybody feels
this and unless speaker be abnndantly
lively and funny nobody enjoys his talk
The company will vote him stupid, and
that will be bis payment for speech which
cost little less the pains of purgatory.-
Then to think that it is possible for man
to be funny and witty with his belly full
The thing is absurd.
We really wish their might be some way
contrived to make pnblic dinners enjoyable
occasions. 1t is well for people to break
bread together. 1t tends to the develop
ment of their social life, and shonld be en-
couraged and if matters were allowed TO
take their natural course, and every one
were to follow the bent of his feelings, there
never would be another dinner speech made
1t is wholly an articfcial thing-wholly
custom eontrived for the accomplishment
of outside purposes. Such talking as a
man may be disposed to do sitting in his
seat, for the entertainment of his Ia
hle, is well enough; but this formal speech
flying, on all occasions, from an election
supper to the presentation of pewter
mug, is ridiculous.

THE Texas BoRDER WAR,--If the cabi.
net at Washington had not been So busy
about John Brown, and in writing letters
to Tammany Hall, ingeuiously but dishon-
estly using the Harper's Ferry rebellion
to further. the interests Of the democracy,
the Mexican banditti chief, Cortinas, would
have been checked month ago. But fnd-
ing that no considerable resistance was Of.
fered he has been collecting a troop of out
laws which seem to be quite formidable,
aud had thrown the whole line of the low
er Rio Grande into condition of alarm
and war! ub nj 30 q 90 go .
On the Gath ult., force of Americans
and Mcxicans from Brownsville went ont
to attack Cortinas at the rancho Of his
mother Cortinas and his men fed and en-
tered dense chapparal near the road, and
when the Brownsville force came up, pour.
ed into them such deadly fire that they
broke and fed back to the town, leaving a
cannon and howitzer in the hands of the
enemy. Two OF the Brownsville party
were killed and FIVE wounded. Two days
after, Cortinas sent n letter into the town,
saving that he did not wish to attack the
town, but demanded the surrender of five
men, his personal enemies, including the
marshal. Subsequently Cortinas employed
himself in re bbing the neghboring ranches
Of horses and cattle, and took some Of the
proprietors prisoners. He is also supposed
to have intcrc, pied and robbed several
mails. On the hight Of October 9Oth, n
party Of some thirty men approached
Brownsville and fred some shots, but did
no damage, when they retired. The city
had been barrcaded, and trenches dug,
aud formal and serious attack was ex-
pected.

curIoslties from AFRICA.


Mr.. Paul du Chaillu, of New York, NOV
ed by love of adventure, has been hunt
ing beasts and birds in Africa for the last
four years, and has returned laden with
spoils, part Of which he is exhibiting
Among the novelties which he introduces
TO the American public for the first time
are several splendid specimens of the newly
discovered race Of Troglodytcs known as
Gorillas. These creatures are exaggerated
monkeys, and combine the cunning and nim-
bleness Of the Sinnian tribe with the mus
eulaE power Of at least three prize-ighters
One of Dr. Chaillu's fuIl-sized males would
probably whip Ssyers, Heenan and Nor.
Sissey all together The larger specimens
are about Eve feet FIVE inches high, and if.
ty-twO inches around the chest, with neck
like bulbs, and arms as thick as a mans
thighs. They eat fruit, but are furnished
with very long and sharp mandbles, like a
squirrels or woodchuck'S, and probably
could tear flesh as easily as a tiger The
general appearance Of the Gorilla is that
Of a libelOus earicature on mankind, ard
Some skeletons Of the species, exhibited in
The same collection, would be easily mistak-
en-, on casual inspection, for the framework
OF deformed human beings. Besides the
Gorillas, Of which there are several repre-
ssntatlyes. old and young, Mr.. Du ChaiIIu
succeeded In "bagging' some amiable mon
sier Of the same genus, which he claims TO
be new varieties, and which. by right of
discovery, be. has honored with the tough
names Of "NsehiegoD and ''Koolo Kamba. ~
