THE ToRTUREs OF THE DINNER ia
F4frs- BILE. rr- so

i9D In the space of twenty-five years
we have heard twenty-five men, more
or less, make successful dinner-table
speeches. OF these, ten. were sensible
men who entertained their COM
panions by trying to talk like fools !;
ten weresfools who were equally en-
tertaining in their endeavor to talk
like sensible men, and five--theI only
persons of the number who, enjoyed
the eminence and sexercise--wsre
drunk, and neither knew NOR cared
whether they talked sense or nonsense.
Why dinner-table should be cho-
sen as an oratorical theater, we, cannot
imagine. There could not be select
ed a more inauspicious time for a
happy speech than that which all the
nervous energy cehters itself upon .di-
happy dream under such circurnstan-i
with dumbbells in ones coat pocket
is not advisable, and it is possible that
it is not advisable under any circum-
stances. 1t is very rare that g dinner
party prefers to sit and listen to inter-
minable speeches, for it is almost as
hard to listen as to talk when the
stomach is fnli of the heavy food of a
feast. Nothing but stimulating drink
lOosens the tongue under such cfrctim-
stances, or puts company into that
sensitivelyl appreciative mood which
responds to buncomber and pathos.
The drinking which is resorted. to for
making these occasions endurable, is
often shameful and always dernorali1-
ing. .inNot good thing ever comes of
it all, nobody enjoys it, speakers and
hearers dislike it, aud still the custom
is continued. 1t is like the grand
dress parties, which nobody likes, yet
which all attend and all give, to the
infinite boring of themselves and their
friends 7fa e5t itsaii 3inE9 81 ID
These discourtesies often visited
upon gentlemen at public. dinner par
ties, deserve an earnest protest. Men
are called to their feet not onlyagainst
their known wishes, but against pled-
ges, and compelled to speech that is
absolute torture to them. The boo
bies who thus distress modest and
sensitive men ought to be Kicked out
of society. No one has right to give
an .inuocent man pain by Compelling
him to make of himselfa a public spec
tacle, or summoning him to task that
is unspeakably distasteful to him. Nc
man ought to be called upon at such a
place as this, except with his full con-
sent previously obtained and he who
forces modest man to a task like this
in the presence of society, fails in the
courtesy of gentleman! The truth
is that no dinner is pleasant unless it
be entirely informal. The moment it
takes in formal character its hfe as a.
social occasion is departed; and those
who foster the custom of speech-mak-
ing drive from their society multi
tudes- of men who would be glad to-
meet them-whose presence would
give them pleasure and do them good.
Let us have done with this foolish
ness.-Scqi6Rer's. ...e. -. - ~,

HER JEWELS IN PAwN IN LoNDo:

! The ST. Paul Press publishes the fol-
slowing extract from letter from a
gentleman now travelling in Europe:
aAas' We went to Emanuels. One of
the firm was at Toquay with us, and
he recognized us, and after some talk
he asked us if we would like to see
something nice, and he showed us all
of EHgenie's jewels, now there sup
the spout; probably not all, but ESQ.,
600 worth. AS he said, he could not
take any more, as she wished to real
ize on them at once. They are all to
be sold, but are not generally shown
now, as nobody is in town. He ap
pears to know her well, and says that
their entire property consists of about
f150O00. worth of jewels, ana some
property in Spain; which she is now
there trying to sell. ai.5Gtot. @4inu g

cases were opened they were piled up
in rather a reckless manner, in heaps,
on nSthis already covered table. There
were tiaras, necklaces, two large an
lchofs,6 of diamonds, and about five
inches Tong; lots of bro oches, one be-
ing b butterfly. the body of which was
a. large opal, about two inches long,
and the wings set upon springs, and

sPUNKY GIRLS.

Fonr of our Galesburg ladies-who
must be nameless here-have been
among our farmers collecting or %beg-
ging, Yas they are pleased to term it, for
the Chicago sufferers. In their trav-
els they came upon an honest farmer
of the Republican persuasion, who
doesn't read or take D paper of any
kind. Heihad'n heard of the Chicago
fire and didn't believe word in it.
Indeed, the Last time he heard from
the United States the "war, for the re-
bellion" was still going on. No, he
wouldn't give a darned thing for the
wounded; it was nothing but aenig-
ger war, and they conld suffer and be
darned, The ladies, who were all
good talkers,you know, explained that
many poor people had been made
homeless and penniless by the Chica-
go fire. But he would, not, be con-
vinced. He said they might have fir
ed the other way Finally one of the
ladies produced a copy of the Regis
ter and read its dispatches during the
catastrophe. The old gentleman still
thought there was Democratic trick
init, but told the handsomely dressed
ladies that he had a lot of potatoes
there in the ground,and if 'they were
a mind to dig 'em they could have all
they wanted.p The offer was accept
ed, and the ladies who knew their
customer, jumped nimbly from their
light spring wagon, each with spade
in hand. and set to work The farmer
stood aghast, surveying his new field
hands with undisguised -amazement.
They gathered about twenty bushels,
and went back yesterday for more.
Before noon to-day the last of that
patch will be coming into town in.

The CAUSE OF VoLCANoEs.AThe
lates. theory of the cause of volcanoes
is that proposed by Professor Phil
lips, distinguished English geologist
He attributes such eruptions solely to
great power aproportionately to the
depth at which, it was formed. TAX
ing the assumed increase ofithe earth's
temperature with the increase of depth
from the surface, Professor Phillips
regards the limit of twenty miles as
equal to producing sufficient heat to
raise seam to the pressure of forty
thousand atmosphsres,J ior in other
words, that thirteen miles depth the
earth's iAternai temperature would be
equal to raising steam of 3 force
sufficient to q column of lava thirteen
miles high. The theory is certainly .
plausible one. 4alrfjla DoitslIf l.ut

lArmxs Statistics.

The following facts in relation to
the pension system have been compil-
ed for the report of the commissioners
of pensions aiif pa 'l2a 70 bal9Ft
'sThe aggregate annual amount of
pensions of widows and dependent
relatives upon the roll June,1S7l, was
less than ON the 30th OF. June,p 1870.
This was owing to the lessening of in
dividual pensions by minors reaching
the age of sixteen years. There were
57623 revolutionary pensioned for
services, IL ,908 soldiers of the Mexi7
can war, and I03,7Sl soldiers of the
war of the rebellion pensioned as in
valids. tits thought that the annual
expenditures for pensions for other
than the latter class, have nearly
reached their maximum, and that dur
ing the next ten years they will grad
ually and materially decrease" Hedl
