REMARKABLE FEAT OF ORAToRY.-
nr. Storrs has carried the art of public
speaking as far as any ybody has ever car
ried it IN this country. What Dr.. Storrs
seemed to do was this He studied up
his subject, which pretty thiclliy cover
ed an immensely long period of time, ar
ranged it loosely in his mind, and with
unerring grasp upon every name, every
| date, every detail, every relation to con-
/ temporaneous affairs among other nations,
/ he went before his audience. Then with
out word written to guide him, without
word having been written to remem Der,
| he stood upon his feet, IN the presence of
great crowd of men and women of the
highest grade, who trusted to his power
to do the thing he had undertaken to do
| just as implicitly as Il he had been dem
| igod, and there he forged his great dis
courses. When they We're completed he
could no more have written them out
than he could have re-delvered them in
/
the American orators we know, has ex-
hibited The power to hold in his mind the
unarranged material for public discourse,
and the ready and unerring art with which
to shape it to the purposes of any occa
sion. We know OF nothing higher than
this in human achievement. 1t is as rare
as Shakespeare. There is vast differ
ence between this and the power of i'm
provisation that some orators possess in a
the realm OF fancy and feeling orators
who talk out Of themselves. This man
talked out Of the aggregated experiences
of the world, held not only in solution or
suspension in his memory, but philosoph-
ically comprehended in their relations to
each other, and to their causes and effects.
For nearly five hours, during the two
evenings he reviewed the history of the
Turk and the Russian in their long strug-
gle with each other, in way as enter
tanning and eXhaustively instructive as
can be imagined. The great procession
of facts and events that was passed in re-
view was not procession of puppets, but
everything was alive. The statistician
himselt was poet, the "raconteur" was
philosopher, the historian was preach
er Of righteousness, and the instructor an
inspired inspirer. = Scrbner'S

A PERPETUAL CARNIvAL.-OHe ofthe
greatest charms of Cairo, Egypt, is its
street life, writes correspondent. 1t IS
! thoroughly Oriental in character. II is a
moving panorama Of oil nationalities,
creeds, languages and costumes, with a
strong preponderance of the Oriental and
semi bar barous element. 1t is perpet-
ual carnival which defes description. The
boulevards Of Paris, Regent street, and
| New York's Broadway cannot compare
with it. You may enjoy this spectacle
quietly sitting on the veranda of Shep
heard's Hotel, but still better in the old
town, especially the Muskee. The streets
are alive with gaudly dressed men and
veiled women, water women, peddlers of
all kinds of wares, braying donkeys,
growing camels, barking dogs, horses
and carriages-all jostling each other in
endless confusion.
In Muskee the crowd is so dense that
it seems impossible TO get through, and
the noise so loud that you cannot hear
your own voice. Every carriage is pre-
ceded by one or more feet runners, crying
to clear the way. The mosques are COW
cred with carpets OF rugs for kneeling and
prostration, and pulpit or reading desk,
but there are no seats. On entering a
mosque you may wear your hat, but you
must take off your shoes or put on slip
pers or sandals of straw are always pro-
vided at the entrance of the mosques, and
must be paid for. Women are seldom
seen in the mosques. The Koran does
not command them to pray, and some
Mohammedan philosophers doubt wheth-
er women have souls. Yet they are
necessary for the sensual bliss OF Paradise,
where the humblest believer is allowed
so, 900 slaves and seventy-two wives, be-
sides those he had in this life, if he choos-
es to keep them. The pious Mohamme-
dan is very devout, and performs his de-
votion five times day.

THE New SILvERBAcKs. The mar
ket is we'll supplied with the new Govern
ment certificates. issued in exchange for
the silver dollar. Within few days
Sub-Treasurer Sherman has received
about 81, 500, 900 in these certificates. They
are in the following denominations: $40
$40, $50, 500, $500 and 81 900. The gen.
eral appearance is the same, tho only
difference being the necessary one Of
amount. In California these certificates
are to be issued only at the Office of the
Sub Treasurer at San Francisco and up.
on II deposit OF Silver dollars. Thus far
about 500, 900 has been issued in payment
for fine Silver. Tho certificates arc used
in liquidating duties at the Custom house
and about $40, 900 Of the amount issued
has already gone back into the Sub-Treas-
ury through the Custom house. The
bullion dealers receiving these certificates,
sell them at II slight discount to parties
wishing to use them TO settle demands
against the 60 oyernment. Those issued
here can be sent East and used at the
New York Custom house as well as here,
but the dollars can only be obtained al
the place of issue. How far these certii-
Gates will be issued in remittances time
alone can tell. II is quito likely that
some coin claims against San Francisco
will be paid in these certificates which
can be exchanged in New York for those
issued in New York, by parties who may
want 10 get the coin represented by them.
1t is we'll 10 bear in mind, however, that
in case of losses, the Government is the
gamer TO the extent that tho certificate
holder loses. On the back of the certa.
cate are the words: "Recevabe for
customs, taxes and public dues, and when
so received may be reissued." There is
nothing on the face OF the certificates con-
stituting them full legal tender in law
for private debts, though it Is not likely
they will be refused in cases Of that kind
especially in or near cities where issued.-

be Disgusting his hand writing as she had
hers. Miss Sophia now made frequent
excursions to the post-office, and one day
she returned home in quite Hutter, and
ran up to her room at once, where she
again perusod the letter which she had
read while walking slowly home along
the quiet country road.
"He wants me to appoint meeting"
she mused. And matters have reached

and she went off into train OF musing

A few days subsequent to Miss Sophia's
scliloquy on q beautiful bright May
morning she donned her most becoming
apparel, and quietly leaving the house,
mado her way to tho one hotel of which
the village boasted, where she called for
a private parlor, and sat down to wait
with what patience she might for the
coming of her correspondent, A few
moments of anxious expectancy, then th
door slowly opened, and some one entered
closing it behind him. Miss Sophia,
peering through her thick veil, saw no
handsome stranger, but-could she be-
lieve her eyes-her brother, Aaron Allen
He approached her.
"Angelica," he said, softly.
Miss Sophia threw aside her veil and
sprang to her feet
"Aaron Allen |" she cried, "what are
you doing here :"

Mr.. Allen, utterly confounded by thi:
sudden denouement, "you here ?''
"Yes, l am here, Aaron Allen and

"What name 2" asked Mr.. Allen,
utterly bewildered.
Angelica, +" replied Miss Sophia, blush
ing in spite of herself.
"I-oh, made mistake in the person
that'sall," )" replied Mr.. Allen, confusedly
"l'd like to know what you are doing
here, Sophia"
"That's my business, Aaron" she ntor-
rupted, sharply. "And now tell me
whom you mistook me for ?"
"Well. Sophia, l may us well inform
you that l am engaged to be married.
said Mr.. Allen, sheepishly, "and came
here by appointment to meet the lady"
"And-and was her namo Angelica p
asked Miss Sophia, breathlessly, fearful
suspicion beginning to dawn upon her,
"And yours A lpha 7''
"By Jove Sophia, you don't moan

JAPANESE BREACHES OF PROMISE
After japanese lover has proven false
to his vows, he deserted maiden rises
about two o'clock in the morning, and
dons white robe and high sandals or
clogs. Her Golf is n metal tripod, in
which are thrust three lighted candles;
around her neck she hangs mirror,
which falls upon her bosom; in her left
hand she carries small straw figure
the effigy of her faithless lover-and in
her right hand she grasps hammer and
nail. with which she nails it into one of
the sacred trees that surround the shrine.
Then she prays for the death of the trai-
tor, vowing that if her petition be heard
she will herself pull out the nails, which
offend the God by woundng the mystic
tree. Night after night she comes to the
shrine, and each night she strikes in two
more nails, believing that every nail viii
shorten her lovers life, for the God, to
save his tr4o, will surely strike him dead
1t is a curious illustration of the hold
superstition yet has on the japanese mind.

EATEN UP BY INTEREsT.-We have
learned the particulars of case Of a
young man who is being eaten up by
interest at about as lively rate as though
he were being devouIed by devil-fsh.
His case is reminder of the horseshoe
problem. i: appears that in 1876 the
young man, not then being of age, was
the keeper Of II restaurant in tho city. On
one occasion he required some money,
and lawyer boarding with him loaned
him $50, the young man saying that, as
interest on the sum, he would not charge
the lawyer for his board until he paid
him back in money. The lawyer said
this was all right and the next day brought
the boy a note, to be signed by him, in
which interest on the $50 was char ged at
the rate of 81 40 per day, the lawyer say
ing this was about the value of what he
was eating each day. The boy object
ed strongly TO signing the rote, but was
finally induced to put his name to the
paper. The lawyer went on eating-the
boy not Finding it in his power to keep
going and pay the s50-till the restaurant
busted" Finally the young man, who
had gone 10 work in some restaurant in
the city, was sued on the note by the
lawyer, who obtained judgment with
interest at the rate of 81 40 per day. The
young mans wages amounting to SIG,
we're attached and gobbled, yet the note
was far from being paid. Now the lawyer
is going after his victim again, and the
principal and interest yesterday amounted
to just S725 80, not saying anything about
what the lawyer ate and Sll6 he got by
attaching the young mans wages.
