An Unconscious Tribute.

Gouverneur Morris, Of New York, .
distinguished patriot Of our Revolution
airy period, was remarkable for bis coll
loquial powers. Like most good takers,
he was little vain, and liked to make
good impression at the dinner table,
especially if any noted men were among
the guests. While visiting Boston, he
was invited by Mr.. George Cabot to
meet party of distinguished men,
among whom were Fisher Amss and
Harrison Gray Otis, at dinner.
After the cloth was removed, Mr..
Cabot introduced as q subject of con-
versation, "How long can Great Brit aim
sustain her load of debit" Mr.. Cabot
briefly expressed his own views, and the
guests waited to hear Mr.. Morris. With
great force and knowledge Of the sub
ject he presented his opinions, and wl,en
he had finished, there was one Of those
pauses of silence which is q compliment
to the speaker.
The best cOnversationalist in Boston
was Fisher Ames, and all eyes We
turned to him. Ia low, melodi. IA
voice, with evident weakness, for he was
in feeble health, he expressed his views.
They differed widely from those uttered
by Mr.. Morris, and were announced
with extraordinary clearness and ei0-
quence.
Morris" said Mr.. Cabot, who told
the snecdote, twas all attention. 1
watched him closely. The first clear in
dication on his cOuntenance of what WAS
passing in his mind was, He talks WELL
The next, He talks as well u. do
And the last, rs Ames warmed with his
subject He talks better than I do"
This unconscious tribute, thus extorted
from one used to he looked up to - the
authoritative, eloquent conversationaiist,
was high compliment to Mr.. Ames.

Nearly two weeks, with the greatest
caution upon my part, were necessary be-
fore l could approach this hooking king's
dominion without hearing his threaten
ing cry. He seemed determined to keep
at safe distance until he found he could
drive me; then he ventured nearer; and
now have gained his confidence, suf-
iiciently so that he listens to my nonsense.
He turns his head in comical manner,
first one side and then the other, and
looks down upon me in sort of patron
izing way, as if plying my poor attempts
at bird language. Then he raises him
self in a dignitied manner, and pours

marked the TurkisA a~cenisncy 10
EarS'T~, and thinking people arc recoil-
ing 10 horror II the idea of aiding 90
maintain such = state IT things sny
longer. At the head of this class stands
Mr. Gladstone-fhe late Premier-x no
has taken the radical stand that the
Moslem rule in Europe should be ended
at once, the sooner the better, and that
Russian rule, or that of any civilized
power, is preferable to that Of the Turk.
Thomas Carlyle comes out in a power
full letter supporting Mr.. Gladstoue's po-
sition, and other eminent men have al
ready done the same. The vital ques-
ton is whether enough Liberals Can be
rallied to Mr.. Gladstone's position to
make it an effective obstruction to Dis
raeli's policy, or whether there will be
split among the Liberals, part standing
by the ex-Prime Minister, and part as
suming a halfway place between his
policy and that of Disraeli. This is

by Sir John Lubbock, and if adopted it
will, it is feared, break up the Liberal
party, and secure the entire success of the
Conservatives. Toledo Blade.

Struck by Lightning.

At a late hour Friday evening John
johnson stood under an awning on Ran
dolph street, waiting for the rain to slack
up. Along came stranger, who sought
the same shelter, and remarked:
"This rain will do the grass good"
ayes, and it will also help wheat" re-
piled johnson.
Mice for wer-beds," continued the
man.
"And splendid for gravc-vincs," said
johnson.
"lIow mysterious are thy works. O,
Nature" sighed the stranger, after a
pause.
'And what poor worms of the dust we
folks are" sighed Johnson. and that was
the last he knew until he found himself
ut the station. lie said he thought he
had been struck by lightning.
There was neither thunder nor light

Philosophy Of the Divining- Rod.

The same principle furnishes what be-
lieve to be the true scientific explanation
of the supposed mystery of the divining.
rod, often used where water is scarce for
the discovery of springs, and in mining
districts for the detection of allie veins.
This rod is forked twig shaped like the
letter Y, hazel being usually preferred;
and the diviner walks over the ground to
be explored, firmly grasping its two
prOngs with his hands, and in such po-
sition that its stem points forward. After
time the end Of the stem points down.
ward, often, it is said, with sort of
writhing or struggling motion, especially
when the fork is tightly grasped; and
sometimes it even turns backward, SO as
to point toward instead Of away from the
body of the diviner. Now, there is a very
large body Of apparently reliable testi-
mony, that when the ground has. been
opened in situations thus indicated, either
water-springs or metallic veins have been
found beneath; and it is quite certain
that the existence of such q power is q
matter of unquestioning faith on the part
Of large numbers of intelligent persons
who have witnessed what they believe to
be its genuine manifestations. This SUBJ
ject, however, was carefully inquired into
more than forty years ago by NM. Chew
reul and Blot; and their experimental
conclusions anticipated those to which l
was myself led in ignorance of them by
physiological reasoning. They found
that the forked twig cannot be firmly
grasped for quarter of an hour or more
in the regulation position, without the
induction Of state of muscular tension,
which at last discharges itself in move
ment; aud this acts on the prOngs of the
fork in such q manner as to cause its
stem to point, either upward, downward,
or to one side. The occasion Of this dis
charge and the direction Of the NOV sment
are greatly Influenced. like the oscilla-
tons Of bodies suspended from the finger,

srious seton of his muscles causes the
