The Louisville Ledger tells this story of
the journalist, Daniel O'Connell, who was bur-
led the other day from the Morgue, in New
York. It-relates to the time when he was on
the Courier-Jcurnal, in Louisville: "But in an
evil hour, when sent to report q speech Dan
Voorhees, was to deliver at New Albany, the
name,sake of the great Irish orator fell by the
wayside, and spent the day with some roliick-
some friends in Portland. Returning to the
editorial rooms that night he gave Mr.. Halde-
man circumstantial account of the difficult
ties he experienced in getting near enough to
hear every word Voorhees, said, but claimed
that he had got the bones of the speech, and
many of the orators fancy flights and could
reproduce them verbatim. Wetting his head
with ice water. he sat down, and in two hours
sent up with flaming headlines the most tre-
mendous speech that was ever circulated on
the oratorical credit of the Tall Sycamore of
the Wabash The fancy fights were especi-
ally toploftical Grattan and Curran were
nowhere and even Phillips was totally eclipsed.
brilliant extractS from this report went the
rounds, and yet Dan. VOORHEES, was ungrateful
enough afterward to say he would not for a
thousand dollars have had that speech publish
ed as his"
