you must hear him, asd see him, too. You
must see the old fellow get up in a fit of
passion, kick his chair away TO make play
room for himself. put one hand under the
breast OF his waisleoat and you must
hear him change his voice from talk to a
scold, and from scold to roar. This is
not oratory, nor rhetoric, nor defamation,
but is something that carries its point in
the Senate better than either. In the old
pro-slavery days when Wade and John p.
Hale and Sumner were about the only
abolitionists in the Senate, the Southern
erns feared the unpolished denunciation of
Wade more than the scholarly invective
of Sumner. l have been told by MIR.
Sumner that on one occasion while Wade
was speaking Mason, of Virginia, touched
him (Sumner) on the shoulder, and, in
tone of positive fright, said My God, see

some one, Wigfall, l believe, told one of

Sketching with a Free Hand.


The following is an extract from racy
description of Senator Wade, written by
" Mack" of the Cincinnati Commercial ::
:" Wade is a man not given, | should mag
inc, to close study or diligent reading, but
his intuitions make up for his deficiency
in this respect; they come TO his relief
always, and often serve better purpose
than the bookishness OF other men. Sher.
man is man of close application. stu
dent by habit and inclination and al
though he may have all Wade's faculty
for extemperaneous debate or action, he
lacks self-conffdence TO exercise it. Meth
er of the Ohio senators can be called fn-
ished orators of amy kind in the strict
meaning of the word. But Sherman is a
good rhe,orician and far reasoner.
Wade speaks sometimes with more force
and effect than his colleague; he relies
less on the force of what he says than in
the vim with which he says it. A strictly
Ben Wade speech would be weary, stale,
fiat and Improbable effort from the tongue
of almost anybody else. 1t is ike the how
of Ulysses, which could be welded effec-
lively only by the strong arm of IFS owner
and was bui cumberous and ponderous
load under any other. 1t is for this rea-

was SO much chilled and exhausted to be
unable to return for the child left behind.
The wind continued its severity, and no
neighbor called until the afternoon, when
there was every reason to believe the
child left was dead. Towards sunset a
physician and other neighbors having ar
rived. several of whom went in search Of
the other, which was found and brought in
dead. The lives Of the parents were saw
ed, but they were left childless.'
Mr.. Brown lived until few years ago,
but never recovered from the effects of
that day. He became nearly or quite
blind, and continued thus as long as he
lived.-N III. Statesman, Feb, 1858.

Eight to Sixteen.

Lori SALISBURY lately stated in pub
lie meeting in London that, from personal
observation, he had ascertanei that Of
adult criminals of that city, nearly all had
fallen into course of crime between the
ages of eight and sixteen years and that
if young man lived an honest life up to
twenty years of age, there were forty
nine chances in favor, and only one
against him, as TO an honorable life there
after. n
This is fact Of singular Importance to
fathers and mothers, and shows fearful
responsibility. Certainly a parent should
secure and exercise absolute coatrol over
a child under sixteen. 1t cannot be diff.
ficult matter to do this, except in very rare
cases and If that control is not very
wisely and efficiently exercised, it must be
the paren's' faut; it is owing to parental
neglect or remissness. Hence the real
cause of crime in such country as Eng
! land or the United States lies at The door
of the parents. 1t is fearful ref ection
We throw it before the minds of the faith
ers and mothers of our land and there
leave it to be thought of in wisdom, re-
marking only as TO the early seeds of bod
| lily disease that they are, in nearly every
case, sown between snndown and bedtime,
in absence from the family circle; in the
! spending of money never earned by the

aries and soda fountains, of beer and to-

the gates of social. physical and moral
ruin. From e gbt TO sixteen--in these
few years-are the destinies OF children

THE DEATH OF JULES GERARD. THE
LION HUNTER.-About two years ago the
newspapers announced the death of Jules
Gerard. the famous lion killer, during an
exploring visit in Central Africa, but gave
no account of how il occurred. 1t appears
that the French Consular Agent at Sierra
Leone has been able to obtain some par
tieulars which he has communicated to the
government. According TO information
given by NJ. Huchard, French merchant,
established in the Shuboro, and by Ali-ben
Mahomed, Gerards interpreter, the hardy
explorer fell a victim 10 the cupidity and
ferocity of the negroes whom he Lad en-
gagged as his guides and protectors. His
baggage and provisions were at first pill
laged repeatedly during his journey from
Seraboo to Marina by the chief of the
former village. Being thus deprived of
all that was absolutely necessary for him
to continue his route, Gerard sent back his
interpreter TO Sierra Leone for fresh
supply. On his way back to rejoin his
master he learned at the village of Mo
Jupan that Gerard had been drowned by

roast pig for dinner on Sunday. The ami
NAL Ga small one) was served up whole,
and as it was placed on the table sent frth
an appetizing and savory smell tha, per-
vaded the dining room and made every
occupant wish for a slice; but to the as
tonisnment Of every guest, great burly,
hirstute Teutonic pork-dealer from the
country sat down opposite the dish and
iucontinently appropriated the entire roast.
The landlord happened to be absent, and
good breeding prevented any Of the guests
from entering protest so Hans made
such havoc of the dish, and wiped his lips
with such evident relish that one of the
walters, with keener sense of the fun
approached him and inquired if he would
have anything else. Hans beaming face
frightened in a moment, and he asked in
reply" Got any more ov dem leetle hogz?"
