A Long Speech.

The longest speech on record is be-
lievcd to have been that made by Mr..
De Cosmos, in the Legislature of British
Columbia, when a measure was pending
whose passage would take from a great
many settlers their lands. De Cosmos
was in a hopeless minority. The job had
been held back till the eve of the close
of the session; unless legislation was
taken before noon of given day the act
of confiscation would fail. The day be-
fore the expiration of the limitation De
Cosmos got the floor about ten a. M, and
began speech against the bill. Its
friends cared little, for they supposed
that by one or two o'clock he would be
through, and the bill could be put on its
passage. One o'clock came and De Cos
mos was speaking still-hadn't more
than entered upon his subject. Two
o'clock-he was saying "in the second
place." Three o'clock-he produced q
fearful bundle of evidence, and insisted
on reading it. The majority began to
have suspicion of the truth-he was
going to speak till next noon and kill the
bill. For while they>made merry over
it; but, as it came on to dusk, they began
to get alarmed. They tried Interruptions,
but soon abandoned them, because each
one afforded him a chance to digress and
gain time.
They tried to shout him down, but that
gave him breathing space, and finally
they settled down to watch the combat
between strength of will and weakness
of body. They gave him no mercy. No
adjournment for dinner; no chance to do
more than wet his lips with water; no
wandering from his subject; no sitting
down. Twilight darkened; the gas was
lit; members slipped out to dinner in re-
lays, and returned to sleep in squads, but
De Cosmos went on. The speaker, to
whom he was addressing himself, was
alternately doing, snoring and trying to
look wide-a-wake. Day dawned, and the
majority slipped out in squads to wash
and breakfast, and the speaker held on.
1t can't be said it was very logical, elo-
quent or sustained speech. There were
still the speaker went on; and at last
noon came to q bafled majority, Gvid
with rage and impotence, and a single
man, who was triumphant, though his
voice had sunk to husky whisper, his
eyes were almost shut, and were bleared
and bloodshot, his legs tottered under
him, and his baked lips were cracked and
smeared with blood. De Cosmos had
spoken twenty-si1 hours, and saved the
settlers their lands!

TIE ROMAN yAr1cAN.-The term

THE ROMAN vAT1cAN.-The term
"Vatican" is often used, but there are
many who do not understand its import.
The term refers to collection of build
ings on one of the seven hills of Rome,
which covers a space of ] 200 feet in
length. and 1000 feet in breadth. 1t is
built on the spot once occupied by the
garden of cruel Nero. 1t owes its origin
to the Bishop of Rome, who in the early
part of the sixth century erected an
humble residence on its site. About the
year 1160 Pope Eugenius rebuilt it on
magnificent scale. Innocent H., a few
years afterwards, gave it up as lodging
to Peter H., King of Arragon. In 1900
Clement ", at the instigation of the
King of France, removed the Papal See
from Rome to Avignon, when the Vatl-
can remained in condition of obscurity
and neglect for more than seventy years.
But soon after the return of the ponti-
fical court to Rome, an event which had
been so earnestly prayed for poor
Petrarch, and which finally took place in
1876, the Vatican was put into state of
repair, again Cu1oi Scu, anu Az o"sN9 '
forward considered as the regular palace
and residence of the Popes, who, one
after the other, added fresh buildings to
it, and gradually encircled it with an
tiquities, statues, pictures and books,
until it became the richest depository IN
the world.
The library of the Vatican was COM
menced !, 400 years ago. It contains 49,
900 manuscripts, among which are some
by Pliny, st. Thomas, Charles Borromeo,
and many Hebrew, Syrian, Arabian, and
Armenian Bibles.
The whole of the immense buildings
composing the Vatican are filled with
statues found beneath the ruins OF
ancient Rome, with paintings by the
masters, and with curious medals and
antiquities of almost every description.
When it is known that there have been
exhumed more than 10000 statues from
the ruined temples and palaces of Rome,
the reader can form some idea OF the
richness of the Vatican.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.-The book
recently published by Gen: Doubleday,
entitled, "Forts Sumter and Moultrie,
contains an incident well illustrating the
character of one of Fairfeld's most hon
ored sons. 1t appears that when Ander-
sons command abandoned Fort Moultrie,
and occupied Sumter two ladies, the
wives of officers, were left behind. One
of these, Mrs. Seymour, requested per-
mission to join her husband in Fort Sum
ter, but this was refused by the South
Carolina officer. That night she entered
an open boat and was rowed over to Sum-
ter in the darkness by two boys. The
u. S. chaplain remained at Fort Moul-
trie. Gen. Doubleday says: "In the
meantime an amusing scene had occurred
there fort Moultrie.) A very chival-
rous gentleman, Ex-Governor Means, ol
South Carolina, had learned in some way
that Mrs. Seymour had been rudely re-
fused permission to visit her husband in
Fort Sumter. He thought the action Of
the commandant of Fort Moultrie harsh
and unnecessary, and was kind enough to
take the trouble to call at the Chaplain's
house to assure Mrs. Seymour that he
would procure her pass from higher au'
thority. The Chaplain hardly knew how
to act. He did not like to tell the Elk.
Governor that Mrs. Seymour had already
gone, for fear it might get the Sinclair
boys in trouble. He therefore pretended
that Mrs. Seymour was con6ned to hel
room with a sick headache. The Ex.
Governor sent in repeated messages tc
beg that she would see him tit was only
for moment, but the answers made by
Mrs. Harris were invariably in the mega
tive. The Chaplain afterwards laughed
heartily at the equivocal position he had
been forced to assume"
This incident touchingly portrays the
softer fibrcs of heart of oak The same
nature that could not brook the sight of 6
woman in distress, quailed not before the
storm of battle; and yielded itself, &
willing and noble sacrifice, to the South
ern cause on the bloody battlefield Of
Manassas. Additional interest is lent tc
this anecdote, from the fact that it is first
brought to light by bitter enemy of tho
cause to which this noble Carolinian hao
devoted himself = Winnsbo,o Necs.

MATRIMoNY AND PoCKETs.-A young
man from one of the suburban districts
was into one of our tailor shops get
ting measured for vest, the other after
noon.
married or unmarried ?" queried the
merchant, after taking down the num-
Der.
Unmarried" said the young man with
a blush.
'Inside pocket on the left hand side,
then," observed the tailor, as if to him.
self, making memorandum to that ef-
feet.
After a moments pause, the young
man from the suburbs was prompted to
ask:
"What difference does my being mar
ried. or unmarried make with the inside
pocket of the vest"
"Ah, NV dear sir" observed the tailor
with bland smile, call the difference
possible as you must see. Being unmar-
ried you want the pocket on the left side,
so as to bring the young lady's picture
next to your heart"
"But, don't the married man also
want his wife's picture next 10 his
heart" queried the anxious youth.
Possibly there is an instance OF that
kind" said the tailor, arching his eye
brows, "but never heard of it."

The LORDS PRAYER.-When the
elder Booth was residing in Baltimore,
a pious, unbane old gentleman of that
city, hearing of his wonderful power of
elocution, one day invited him to dinner,
although always deprecating the, stage
and all theatrical performances. A large
company sat down at the table, and, on
returning to the drawing room, one of
them asked Booth, as special favor to
them all, to repeat the Lords Prayer
He signi6ed his willingness to crafty
them, and all eyes were fixed upon him.
He slowly and reverently arose from his
chair, trembling with the burden of the
two great conceptions. He had to real
ize the character, attributes and presence
of the Almighty Being he was to address.
he was to transform himself into poor,
SHINING, stumbling, benighted, needy
supplicant, offering homage, asking
bread, pardon, light and guidance Says
one of the company who was present, ut
was wonderful to watch the play Of emo-
ton which convulsed his countenance.
He became deathly pale, and his eyes
turned tremblingly upward, wet with
tears. As yet he had not spoken The
silence could be felt; it had become alb.
solutely painful, until at last the spell
was broken as if by an electric shock, as
his rich toned voice syllabled forth, "Our
FathA which art in Heaven" etc., with
pathos and fervid solemnity which
thrilled all hearts. He finished; the ST.
lence continued, not voice was heard,
not muscle moved in his rapt audience,
until from a remote corner of the room, q
subdued sob was heard, and the old gen
tleman (the host) stepping forward with
streaming eyes and tottering frame, seized
Booth by the hand. Sir said he, in
broken accents, you have afforded me q
pleasure for which my whole future life
will be grateful. I am an old man, and
every day from my boyhood to the pres
ent time, I have repeated the Lords
Prayer; but 1 never heard it before,
never r you are right replied Booth,
to read that Prayer as it ought to be read
caused me the severest study and labor for
thirty years, and am far from being sat
isfed with my rendering of that wonder
full production. Hardly one person in
ten thousand comprehends how much
beauty, tenderness and grandeur can be
condensed in space so simple. That
prayer itself sufficiently illustrates the
truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it
the seal of divinity"

A Pennsylvania has taught a ca
nary bird to sing Home, Sweet Home" !"
in this way: He placed the canary in a
room where it could not hear the singing
of other birds, suspended its cage from
the ceiling, so that it would see its refec-
tion in a mirror, and beneath the glass
placed the musical box that was regula-
ted to play no other tune but Home,
Sweet Home" Hearing no other sound
but this, and believing the music pro-
ceeded from the bird it saw in the mirror,
the young canary soon began to catch the
notes, and finally got so that it sings the
song perfectly.
