Mr.. S. 7. Wallis Address en- the Character
Of George Peabody.
DELIVERED AT THE PEABODY INSTITUTE
BALTIMORE.

DELIVERED AT THE PEABODY INSTITUTE
BALTIMORE.
The analysis Mr.. Wallis gave of
MIR. Peabody's character, and of
those lessons of his life which have made
his death an occasion of international
mourning, was in the highest degree acute,
philosophical and just. The observations,
interviewer upon the topics naturally sug-
gested by the subject Of money getting, of
money-giving, of avarice and charity, were
opposite, striking and true. The play of
fancy, the embroidery of literary and class
ical allusion wherewith the whole was gar
nishcd and made rich, displayed at once
the culture and the taste of the accom-
plished speaker. But it was reserved for
the closing portion of the address to pro-
duce the highest effect, touching the hearts
and feelings of all present, as the previous
parts had gratified their reason and their
tastes.
"Mr. Wallis completed his review of
Mr.. Peabody's life and character by
touching reference to the words spoken by
him upon the occasion of the formal open
ing of the Institute. He recalled the cir
cumstances under which those words were
uttered, the changes which had taken place
in the condition of the country in the in
terval since Mr.. Peabody's previous visit,
and the altered state Of feeling which he
found in this communicable soreness,
bitterness and arrangements consequent
upon four years ofcivil war. Mr.. Peabody,
a Northern man, who had made his home
among a Southern people, good man
and patriot, whose heart embraced his
whole country, and from whose sympathies
none Of his countrymen were excluded,
stood between them and among them, coun-
selling peace, Cancellation, charity. With
the manliness which was characteristic of
him, he avowed his own sentiments and
his own ability to respect the convictions
of those who differed from him, and his
large-heartedness refused to recognize in
that difference of opinion any justification
for intolerance and prescription. The use
and application which Mr.. Wallis made of
these well-known sentiments of Mr.. Pea
body was appropriate and telicitous in the
extreme. 1t was a commentary every way
worthy Of the text. Upon the large and
appreciative audience assembled the eff ct
was visible, instantaneous and profound.
Included in that audience were persons of
every shade of political opinion, and repre-
sentatives of widely distant portions of
the country. When the speaker closed
there seemed to be but one sentiment per-
vading the entire assemblage, and that was
in perfect unison with the lesson conveyed
in Mr.. Peabodys words and illustrated by
his lite.-Baltim0re Sun.

The Experiences Of John Thomas.

JOHN THOMAS CONSULTS AN ASTROLOGER
AND SEARCHES FOR HIDDEN WEALTH
TIE INVESTMENTS HE MADE AND THE
RESULTS THEREOF.
The branch of the Thomas family to
which / belong have been noted from
time immcmorial for three peculiarities-
namely:
Desire for money; capacity for getting
rid of it; indisposition to work for it.
In consequence, there has never been
much money in the family. On several
occasions, Thomases of our strain, gifted
with personal attractiyeness, have married
farms, but the second distinguishing quail
ity of the blood invariably wrested the
land from them. My grandfather was one
Of these. He married six hundred acres
and was fortunately thrown from horse
before he had squandered quite the half Of
it. My father being but half Thomas
only reduced the three hundred acres he
inherited half which left me to COM
mence life with one hundred and fifty
This would have been sufficient for a mere
plodder, but the Thomases never plod

Ofcourse, my farming operations have
not been profitable. A man who is fond
of work may make money by farming, but

down to regular labor. bought a patent
right once, which would have made me
rich but for a trihing failure, namely the
machine would not accomplish the work
it was intended to do, and l lost heavily
by it. The silk.worm speculation hurt me
somewhat, and have invariably gone in
to every new potato, grain, or grass that
has been offered. Alas how easy it is to
ego in," and how hard it is to get out.
Embarrassed as these spcculations natu-
rally left me, / was of course, continually
on the look out for snmethlng new in the
way of speculation that would release me.

binary way, by ploughing planting, and

by any such agency, and l felt that could

reading a New York paper, happened to
