A New ORAToR.-In an article on
the displays of eloquence, called forth
by the debate in the House of Commons
on the reform bill, a London paper thus
speaks of Mr.. Robert Lowe, whom it
designates "the hero of the reform de-
bate -
ellis success is at once dazzling and
unprecedented. There have been in
stances of men entering the House and
at one bound becoming power. So it
was with Pitt. So with Peel. So with
Mr.. Gladstone. But the case of Mr..
Lowe is altogether different. He has
been in the House for years. He has
even been in Office. Yet no one dream
ed that he was one Of the most powerful
debaters of the House, and one Of the
finest orators ofthe age. He was known
to be clever man, a classical scholar
and ready speaker, but until the late
reform debate. no one rightly estimated
the true force ofhis intellect and inimita-
BILE vigor ofhis eloquence. Though long
on the stage, his magnificent gifts were
latent. and the reform debate has
brought them to our knowledge. OF
the three speeches he delivered on re-
form, the last was the best. A more
finished and beautiful Grafton could not
well be composed.

writing to you my sincere thanks for the good
you have done my daughter. can truly say that
nothing but the kind hand of Providence and
your BITTERs have saved her from an early
grave. For three years l have been doctoring
her with syrups and all kinds of btters that have
been recommended to me for her, besides having
two first rate physicians; but all seemed to do
her no good, while was searching the almanacs
and all the newspapers that could get hold Of,
in hopes of finding something that would suit
her case. Accidentally there came part Of anews-
paper around some goods that bought at the
Spa. In looking over it saw at a glance that
your BITTERs was just what she needed. sent
the next day to Ballston Spa and got bottle Of
your BiTTERs. She commenced taking them,
and such change in one week with her appetite,
and the distress that victuals occasioned. and
that burning in the Stomach, / never saw in my
life, as there was in her. She has taken three
bottles, and is now able to work all the time. /

Please send me three bottles more, which hope
will cure her entirely. We and Others thought
she had disease Of the heart, but that beating

Thomas Buchanan Read, the poet, is
in trouble. Mr.. Handy concluded last
week not to have an art gallery in his
new opera house, as he had become tired
ofthe squabbles among the artists. Mr..
Read thereupon wrote some rose-colored
letters, letting the art failure down in
gorgeous tints, and to one of the letters
he signed Mr.. Handy's name. The lat
ter, on finding the letter in print, pub
lished a card repudiatingit, and declar-
ing it forgery. Read rejoins that it
contained the gist of conversation he
had had with Mr.. Handy, and that in
writing the letter and signing MIR. Han
dy's name, he had taken only a poeti-
cal license.

A machine for making butter is one
ofthe new inventions in England. 1t
consists of movable metal cylinder
suspended from small cast-iron frame.
The bottom ofthe cylinder is loose piece
of galvanised iron, and above it the cyl
inder is perforated by number Of small
holes. The is suspended in a bowl OF
water, and the butter is placed in the
cylinder and pressed by screw piston,
the result of which is that the butter is
forced through the holes into the water
in the shape of vermicelli. BY this
means all the buttermilk is excluded,
and the butter is found to be much
closer and sweeter than when made by
hand.

Now AND THEM Professor Silliman
in his diary speaks ola visit he made to
Saratogain 1897. 1t was rather in con-
trast with the Saratoga of our times.
He says: We mounted our horses one
day and rode seven or eight miles
through the pine forest, with its delight
full fragrance, and arrived at place
where they said there were some mine
raj springs. There was not even vii
lage, but only two or three log houses
standing among the pine trees. The
people were civil, and provided hay for
our horses, and for ourselves bacon and
eggs. They piloted us into morass
where nature was unsubdued, and step
ping cautiously from bog to bog, we
soon arrived at a spIing which they call
ed the Congress Spring, which tasted as
it does now.''
