vices Of any kind were used, though the
medium showed symptoms OF fatigue at
the close of the performance. Some
skeptics who were present fancied they
could set the table in motion by Will

so. Several questions were asked the
spirits supposed to be present, but as II
was impossible to decipher the mediums
hieroglyphics, the correctness OF the
answers could not be determined. Ii
anybody has any doubts as to the ability
of those mediums to nov chairs and

themselves that it can be done, and that
so far as is known there is no humbug
about it either.-Siluer State June 4th.

THE SECRET OF ELooUENcE.-The Pail

The SECRET OF ELoQUENCE.-The Pail
Mall G0sette says !:
An admirer of Mr.. Bright writes to a
Manchester paper that he has discovered
the secret of the power this great speaker
possesses of riyeting the attention of his
audience. This he believes to lie in the
fact that he uses monosyllables very
largely. The grand passage in Mr.. BIS
speech IN the Burials bill describing a
Quaker funeral begins " l will take the
case of my own Sect" and on counting
the words of that remarkable Grafton it
will be found that out of 100 words, 100
were monosyllables. On this it is urged
that those in charge of youth should teach
them the use of monosyllables. An Amer
ican journal lately mentioned a school
where such pains had been taken to in
struct the boysin the art of public speak
ing, that if they had learned nothing else,
they had acquired the greatest contempt
for all the devices Of stump oratory. The
course of study prescribed left to the i'm
agination. but doubtless includes the
translation into monosyllables of the pom
derous verbiage which passes current in
most political assemblies as current elo-
quence. 1t would, however, be cruel
to insist on the introduction of such
teaching into any one Of the standards. y
Many are obliged to speak who have less
to say than Mr.. Bright, and to them the
sesQuiped0ti0 uerbd are indispensable,
