Some time ago, Mr.. William A. Porter, OF

ing. was invited by Mr.. Charles lngersoll
to deliver, on last Saturday evening. nm ad.
dress before the Democratic Central Club OF
Philadelphia. Mr.. Porter accepted, and
was received with great cordiality by the
audience. In tho course Of his speech he
took occasion to say, unequivocally, that he
was "6ghting democrat, and, for one, de-
tcrmined to support the Administration in
its efforts to suppress the rebellion" He
further declared he would never permit any
one to call him u "copperhcad," name
which suggested treason to tho country and
hostility to its glorious institutions. at this
number of persons in the audience, sur
prised that loyalty should have dared thus to
speak within the sacred precincts of demo
cratic club room, rose to their feet crying,
ave are copperheads !" "No such talk in
this room !" "put him out" and other
choice phrases. Mr.. Porter's voice was
completely drowned by the louder noise Of
tho audience, and he was finally compelled
to retire. Tho Union League. hearing Of
tho occurrence. invited Mr.. Porter to address
that body, which he did, with great accep
tance.

Number of Words in Actual Use.

It is curious thing thar, with some
$4,000 English words, people can get on
with very few. Dorsey, u pbilologist OF
ability, records that u country clergyman in
England told him that some of tho laborers
in his parish had not $50 words in their
vocabulary. On tho average, the children
of persons with ordinary education do not
use more than 200 words until the age OF
ten. Max Muller says: "a well.educated
person in England, who has been at II pub
lie school and ut the University, who reads
his Bible, Shakespeare, The Times. and all
tho hooks Of Nudes library, q G nineteen
twcntieths OF all the books published in
England seldom uses more than 5000 or
1000 words in actual conversation. Ac
cur,tc thinkers and close rcasoners, who
avoid vague and general expressions. and
wait till they find the word that exactly fits
their meaning, employ u larger stock; and
eloquent speakers may rise to u command OF
10 600. Mllton's works are built up with
5000, and tho Old Testament says all that
it has to say with 5,6i2 words"

CONVERSATION OF Men OF GENUS. s.-Tasso's
conversation was neither gay nor brilliant
Dante was either taciturn or satirical. But
Ter was either sullcn or biting. Grcy seldom
talked or smiled. Hogath and Swift were
very absent minded in company. Milton
was very unsociable, and even irritable, when
pressed into conversation. Kirwan though
copions and eloquent in public addresses,
was meagre and dull in colloquial dis.
courses. Virgil was heavy in conversation.
LaFontaine appeared heavy, course and
stupid; he could not speak and describe
what he had just seen, but then ho was the
made of poesy. Chaucer's silence was more
agreeable than his conversation was slow
and dull. his humor saturnine and reserved.
Corneile in conversation was so insipd tha,
he never failed in wcarying; he didn't even
speak correctly that language Of which he
was such master. Ben johnson used 10
sit silent in company, and suck his vino and
their humors. Southey was stiff, sedate, and
wrapped up in asceticisins. Addison was
good company with his intimate friends. but
in mixed company ho preserved his dignity
by stiff and reserved silence.

tragic tone. he said:

not possibly go on"
