The Great Orators of Modern Times.

Great orators have been rare IN all ages.
| Great Britain has now but Gladstoue: in
France Berger, growing old, is being qui-
city replaced by Jules Fayre: this country,
IN the course of a hundred years, has known
how many? James OGs, Patrick Henry,
Henry Clay, Sergeant s. Prentis Have
there been any others? Daniel Webster
vas one of the largest. brightest intellects;
he spoke forcib!y because he thought deep
~, saw clearly, and reasoned cogently; but
1t was never thrilled by the magic of his
voice and we would nearly as soon read one
.ot his great speeches as to hear him make
1t. John Z. Calhoun s was a subtle brain:
be was rather metaphysician than an ora
tor; he argued tersely, compactly; if you
granted his premises he would almost com
pei you TO adopt his conclusions; but CLAWS
charm was in his manner, his utterance: he
welded audiences and moulded Senates, but
did not, even in life, greatly influence those
who never met and did not personally hear
him, while his speeches are scarcely read
at all since his death. He dealt so entirely
with interests, with measures, with details
and adjustments, that few even Of his hap
piest efforts bear separation from their i'm
mediate impulses and occasions; he spoke
warmly and nobly in behalf of South Amer
lean independence, the development aud
diversifcation Of American industry, and
of the guaranteed rights of the semi-civil-
lied Indians; but he rarely dug deliberately
down to the primary rocks and insisted on
solving the problem of the hour by the APP
plication Of universal principles of eternal
truth
Hence the rapid decline Of his reputation
as speaker, while his less popular cotem-
poraries, Webster and Calhoun, continued
to be read and admired Prentis spent his
maturity at the bar in a mparatively rude
section, and was excluded by his political
afinites from all but mere glimpse of po-
H'ical life; bat the testimony of those who
often heard him places him very high on
the roll of American orators, and leaves
little room for doubt that, with the oppor-
tunity of either of the triumverates, he
would have achieved wide and enduring
renown.

Gems of Thoughts.

Though few there are that care to be vir-
tuous, yet fewer they are that would not de-
sire to be counted so.
Nothing but what is Gods dishonor
should be our shame.
We must not walk by example, but by
rule.
They that drive away time spur free
horse.
AS often as man lays out for God, he
lays up for himself.
We have nothing that we can properly
call our own but what we have reason to be
ashamed of.
We are never we'll informed of the truth
til we are conformed to the truth.
A conceit of knowledge is the greatest
enemy to knowledge, and the greatest argu-
ment of igno rance.
We remember many things we should
forget, (as injuries, disappointments, etc.,
but forget what we should remember, viz:
God and our souls.
They that presume most in prosperity are
soonest subject to despair in adversely.
Man NAV commend thee but God may
condemn thee.
When God Furnishes another He threat
ems thee; when He wounds another He
warns thee.
A wise man desires no more than that be
may get Justly, use soberly, distribute
cheerfully, and live upon contentedly.
A small injury done to another is great
injury done to yourself.
II forms no part of wisdom to be miser-
able to-day because we may become SO to-
morrow.
By taking revenge of an injury man is
only even with his enemy; by passing il
over he is superior.

Crossing the Lookout Mountains.

poleon was pleasure excursion 10 the over

Lookout Mountains are twelve mile across
and two miles 10 ascent. by road which
rises one foot for every two passed over.
How much worse are the Alps? Loose,

ploits Of a pigmy. II you could have seen
a Gun dragging its slow length up this
mountain side, with dozen painting horses
bitched to it, and cloud of men tugging
at the wheels; if you could have seen the 10

The New Judge.


We take the following article, devoted to
Judge Delahay, from the Leavenworth
Tines Our readers who do not know De-
laIay, can see, by perusing it, what his
nsighbors think Of him:
yesterday the telegraph brought us the
Intelligence from Washington that the Pres
dent had appointed Mark W. Delahay, Of
our city, Judge of the U. S. District Court
Of Kansas, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
he death Of the learned and venerable
Judge Williams. It is needless for US to
say that this news astounded US. Who
among our fellow citizens, that know Mr..
Deahay well, were not also astounded? Il
is al ways an unpleasant duty which requires
us to speak otherwise than in terms of com
mendation of our fellow citizens. But
when that duty arises we shallno avoid its
full performance. The consequences to the
public veal are serious enough when an un-
fit man is elected or appointed TO the small
est political office. They increase in mag
ni.ul5 6Y sort of malignant multiplication
when such are chosen for the higher judi
cial responsibilities. 1t is not needed that
we should more than state the proposition,
that large mind, strong reasoning powers,
and profound knowledge of thu law, are
the prerequisites of mental quality and cul-
tivation constituting a judge who is to ad-
minister justice in the highest courts. Does
Mr.. Delahay possess either one of these
qualifications? How much law does he
know? Is there a man in this city who
viii urge that he is competent to compete
ia the trial Of the smallest cause before the
smallest court, with the smallest antagonist
who practices at our bar? Then where is
the man, who knows Mr.. Delahay well.
who will stand up in the presence of the
people who know him best, and urge that
he possesses the gifts from nature which
will enable him, with any amount OF lnves
tipation, TO penetrate and resolve the most
ordinary legal problem? Mr.. Delahay IS q
good sort of man in his way, and IN his
proper place. But it is rank injustice to
/ him. an outrage upon the public, and ter
rible sarcasm upon tie judiciary, to appoint
( him Judge of the court of highest appeal il
4 this State. Mr. Delahay should promptly
decline the honor. or rather, We should say
/ the dishonor. That kind of conduct would
not be barren of good results with the pub
lie; nor would the legal fraternity, perml
us TO suggest, fail to appreciate it. Then
would be a proper rebnke to the schemlnt
demagogue who has. oftener than once, i'm
posed upon cur honest and unsuspectini

The SCHEMES OF NAPOLEON,

Ihe London Economist, with great force
OF reasoning, shows how Indispensable is
the success of the rebels to the schemes oil
Napoleon on this Continent It SAYS:
Louis Napoleon, then, has put himself
deliberately and avowedly in opposition to
the arrogant pretentions of the American
Republic. But that Republic is no longer
one aud indivisible. With which section
of il, therefore. will his occupation of Mex
leo bring him into collision With which
viii he quarrel. and with which will he
form. or seek to form an alliance? There
can be no doubt as to the immediate answer.
The success of the secession movement,
the severance of the old republic into two
stat s, is essential to the permanent occu
Patlsn of Mexico by France, or to the per-
maRszt independence of Mexico as a pow
erful country under French protection;
slNee the real restoration of the Union
would once more make the American nation
so mighty and so proud that all its old pre-
tentlons would be renewed and it would prob
ably be impossible for France ultimately to
uphold her Jprotege without continuity Of
struggle, and a waste Of men and treasure
which she could not endure en- perneanence,
and of which she would soon grow weary.
His Mexican conquest thus entails upon
Louis Napoleon almost the necessity Of an
alliance with the Southern Confederacy,
and an alliance concluded in time enough
to enable his aid 20 insure success and their
Independence If he delays till they are
beaten, and If they are beaten in conse-
quence of his delay, he will have to consol-
idate and maintain his Mexican enterprise,
not against one enfeebled and diminished
nation by the help Of that nations exasper-
aled foe, but without aid against the recon
structed Union. which In time would be-
come as powerful AS before. We apprehend,
therefore. that he will, in his heart, be Just
as anxious to proffer aid as the hard pressed
Confederates will be to accept it; and be
tween contracting parties thus mutually
Predisposed, terms of treaty are not diff
cult, and are seldom long protracted. Even
before the Mexican conquest. as we are
we'll assured. the sympathies aud wishes OF
the French Empror inclined him to recog-
nize the South; and he was only withheld
from doing so by the want of our co opera
ton. Those sypathies and wishes are
fortified and vitalized by urgent political
interest now.
No doubt the Economist speaks by the
card when it intimates that an alliance al
ready exists bettween France and the Con
federacy, bul whether it does or not, there
is great deal of force in its reasoning.

What is Cheek!

Pray pardon the use of slang term.
Impudence will not do for it, for it may exist
without shrewdness nor self-possession,
for that is a passive rather than an active
virtue; nor courage, which is often allied
TO modesty; nor boldness which man may
have without humor. True, you may say
that man has the face to say or do any
thing; but that is a round about way Of ex-
pressing ones self, and you cannot speak
of his face in an aliegorical sense, or call
him fancy Grant me the term then, and
will endeavor TO explain it to my young
brotherless lady readers. Cheek, then, is a
rare union of fun, impudence, steadiness,
perseverance, and intelligence, endowing its
possessor with the power of walking quietly
over social obstacles, which form an iFnpas-
sble barrier to the majority of mankind.
The example: 1t was cheek" that gave

that procured wives (it is great at tbat) for

The Detectives OF Private Life.

''Set a rogue to catch rogue" has been

to set people who are not what they ought

A Pin Hunter.

In the Rue de Bac, Paris, there died
some days ago, about forty years of age. the
Baron de Sevres. a gentleman who had de-
voted nearly all his life to most extra
ordinary pursuit, the excitement Of which
is said 10 have sent him to an untimely
grave Among the property left were found
two large and heavy boxes, which by the
heirs were supposed to contain cash, bat
turned out to be filed with hundreds of
thousands of all imaginable kinds OF pins.
Some years ago, while in Paris, gentleman
of noble appearance was pointed out 70 me-
whose curious way of walking bad attract
ed my attention. It was the Baron de Sew
res. He was walking one of the roads OF
the Bots de Boulogne, with his back bent,
his eyes Testiessly bunting the ground, ard
now and then STOPPING down as if to pick
up something.
I then learned that for the last twenty
wears his regular habits had been to pass
/ along the most frequented streets and places
/ of public resort. and to pick up the pins he
discovered on the ground-a habit which,
/ from a praisworthy carefulness, had gradu-
ally become the dominating passion OF his
! life. He has been noticed scrutinizing the
floors in pits of theaters, hardly looking FOL
moment at the stage; still more frequently
he was seen searching The lobies leading t
the boxes for the precious treasures. Con
cert rooms formed his principal attraction
but his richest harvest, he confessed Wer
the numerous places of worship, which, Q
lcontse. were regularly attended by this Gu
.;,,,,z snsc;Den of human eccentTicity.
