SILENT MEN.

Washington never made a speech.
In the zenith Of his fame lie once ut
tempted 1t, failed. and gave 1t up coll
fused and abashed. III framing the
Constitution Of the United States tho
labor was almost wholly reformed In
Committees OF the Whole, of which
George Washington was day after day
the Chairman, and he made two
speeches Of a very few words each,
something like one Of Grants speeches.
The Constitutlon, however, acknowl-
edged the master spirit, and historians,
affirm that had 1t not been for his per-
so,ial popularity and tho thirty words
Of Ills first speech, pronouncing 1t the
best that could be united upon, the
Constitution would have been rejected
by the people. Thomas Jefferson new
or made a speech. He couldn't do It.
Napoleon. whose executive ability Is
almost without a parallel, said that
his greatest difficulty was In finding
men Of deeds rather than words. When
asked how he maintained his influence
over his superiors In age and expert
ence when Commander-in-C Chief Of an
army In Italy, he said by reserve. The
greatness offs man Is not measured by
the length Of q mans speeches and
their number.-Phid. Ledger.

ANOTHER Gun JOKE.
A YsuaE Lady shst By Her Brsiher.

PoRr JnRyIs, n. Y, May G. 1s72.-
On Sunday " shocking affair, resulting
FROM the careless use Of firearms, oc-
Cured near Fremont Centre, Sullivan
county. a party Of young people
were Oh their way home from church.
and stopped at the house Of Mr.. Henry
Pelham. A young man Of tho party,
named Milton Crandall, took up an
old shotgun, that stood In the corner
Of q room. and, In sport, pointed 1t
toward Clarisa Crandall, his sister,
aud another young lady. They CON-
menced screaming, and ran away, the
young man after them, enjoying their
fright. Coming up with his sister, no.
snapped the gun, when, to the horror
Of all present, It was discharged, no
Que dreaming that It was loaded. The
contents Of tho barrel took OBJECT In the
neck Of tlle young lady, below the ear,
passing through the nape Of the neck
and the lower portion OF the brain.
She fell to the floor and died without q
croan. She was but seventeen years
OF age, and u highly Intelligent aud
promising girl. Young Crandall was
almost crazed with grief, aud 'he had
10 be secured to prevent doing himself
bodily Injury. An Inquest was held
OH the body Of the unfortunate young
lady, and q verdict Of "gross careless
ness on tho part OF Milton Crandaltt
was rendered. The sad occurrence has
cast q deep gloom over the community
where the parents are known and re-
spccted.

A DASH THROUGH FIRE.

Any one who has passed over the
Boston and Albany Railrosd will re-
member the sharp curves and deep cuts
In which that route abounds In the
vicinity of Chatham. Last Saturday
evening. as Conductor Rnssell's train
WAS laundering on towards Albany,
the engineer observed but a little ways
ahead what he supposed to be a fire by
tho side Of the track. This being no
uncommon occurrence, he gave 1t
scarce a thought, until. as he rounded
u short curve, le saw to his horror thAt
the flames came from y bridge over
which tho train must pass. 1t was a
moment OF terrible suspense. just
before, the bridge, which spanned an
abyss OF SOME fifty feet, but was with
out sides or cover, was cracking In
flames. No earthly power could check
the train In time to prevent q disaster
which seemed Inevitable. Nothing
was left but resignation to the DEGREES
Of fate. The locomotive with It's hor-
riHed engineer, the train with its un-
conscious passengers, rushed on. and
fortunately passed In safety, the buril-
Ing timbers being still strong enough
to sustain the passing train.-Aibaay

of unimpeachable yeracity. recently
went to Clear Luke OH a failing expe-
dition, and had occasion to ford Kelsey
Creek soou after u tresllet. lie found

the fIli were so thick In the water.
There we're salmon trout from u TO
three feet long, perch from ten to
eighteen inches long. aud a variety OF
sucker, all IN \ solid mass so dense
that they crowded each other on shore
and died by thousands. DIR. Fulker-
son said that one could shovel them
out by tho wagon load, like grain out
OF a bin. But fish are not always 80
plenty In Kelsey Creek. II Is only
when they come from the lake after 4
freIhet. Then they 60 up the creek
five or six miles. and return with the
subsiding water. 1t Is the Sonomi

The --latest strike In Great Britain
that has attracted public attention has
been q strike Of the servant girls ut
Dundee. II was not y strike for high
or wages, for the most ordhisry class
Of maid servants receive better pay
than Is given In Scotland for any other
description Of unskilled labor, but for
privileges. They wished for y half
holiday every week, a free Sunday
every fortnight, and that their work.
Ing hours should bs limited. From six
la tho morning till ten at night was
the reasonable demand In this respect.
1t was also proposed that some oryani-
zstlon should b. effected through
which servants could learn the chsrac-
ter aud dispositions Of their m~latresses
previous to engaging with them. It
WAS urged that - the mattresses were
very particular In requiring references,
IL would be only just that they should
also be compelled to furnish them.
Aud It was unanimously agreed that II
n mistress compelled q servant to wear
n flag. the ml.treas ought to pay for 1t.

that the last demand Il reasonable ; at
