A COlOred DemOsthenes.

TIE latest sensation in the Senate of
Virginia is the speech of William n
Stevens, a colored repudiationist from
Sussex County, delivered in that body
to-day on the debt question. The SEN
sation was not made by Stevens repu-
diation sentiments, for the debt-repudia-
tors are about equal in numbers with
the debt-payers; but it was by his
splendid eloquence. There was moth
ing commonplace or stilted in the ora
ton, and everything that the speaker
altered was trenchant and profound.
All of his brother Senators opened their
eyes in establishment as they sat spell
bound during the delivery. which occu-

Daniel, the foremost Republican in Vir-

the session, and all agreed with him.

about thirty years of age. He was
born slave, but has graduated at two
colleges-one a colored institution at

The Leaders Of Washington Society.

YEARS ago Lord Lyons, then the En-.
glish Minister, imported coachman.
He was first-class man, and it was not
long before he was well known. Soon
afterward he began trading horses, and
made a great deal of money. Follow
ing that, he went into the grocery bust
ness in what is known as the old
First Ward of Washington, and ac-
cumulated more money. He married,
and son came to his family. When
the father died he left plenty of money,
which his son inherited, succeeding him
in the grocery business. The son was
too proud, however, to stick to it, and
he gave it up, and invested his money
in other ways.
About the time the English coach
man came here, French cook, direct
from France, arrived here, and secured
employment with the French Minister.
He also was married, and had three or
four daughters. Like the coachman,
he amassed great deal of money, and
increased it by fortunate real-estate
speculations. He owned several squares
of property in the neighborhood since
bought up by Hallet Kilbourne's real
estate pool.

From a Saloon to a Pulpit.

A LITTLE over ten months ago Charles
+. Whitcomb walked into Syracuse
wearing an old straw hat with hole in
the top, pair of shoes with the heels
knocked off, and linen buster. Yes
terday the Rev. Charles +. Whitcomb, of
Ira, Cayuga County, entered the Stand
ard editorial rooms; the straw hat had
given place to silk tile, and the linen
buster had been exchanged for full
dress suit of black. 1t is but a little over
twelve months ago that Mr.. Whitcomb
ran asaloon, where the worst characters
of Detroit, Mich, congregated. He
went through small fortune of $4,000
or $40, 900; spent the last cent with boon
companions and then started on tramp.
At Port Leyden, Lewis County, he
abandoned his former habits, and when
he struck Syracuse and the revival he
maintained his desire to lead better
life. He took up one branch of Mr..
Hammond's labors-work among the
Incorporate. This he pursued for sew
eral months, and was quite successful
He reached Ira, where he now is pastor
of church, which has prospered under
his ministrations. From a saloon-keeper

The Term Porte.

The term g Porte, which is used to
denote the administrative government
of the Ottoman Empire, and includes
the Sultan, the Grand Vizier and the
Great Council of State, had its origin in
this way: In the infamous institutes
established by the warrior Sultan,
Mohammed and the Turkish body polite
was described by the metaphor of
stately tent whose domes rested upon
four pillars. "The viziers formed the
first pillar, the judges the second, the
treasurers the third, and the secretaries
the fourth. The chief seat of govern
ment was tiguratively named the . Lofty
Gate of the Royal Tent in allusion to
the practice of earlier times when the
Ottoman rulers sat at the tent door to
administer justice. The Italian trans
lation of this name was LIE Porto
Sublima." This phrase was modified
in English to the "Sublime Porte"
and finally the adjective has been
dropped, leaving it simply 1.-The
Porte -. .-... .-.-.....

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.


THE woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of the winters day;
The street was wet with recent snow
And the womans feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone, mcared for, amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout
Glad in the freedom of school let out"
Came the boys. like a flock of sheep.
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and gray
Fastened the children on their way.
Nor offered helping hand'to her. sd
SO meek, SO timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddle of all the group;
He paused beside her, and whispered low:
" I'll help you ACROSS, if you wish to CO.
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and So without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went
His young heart happy and well content.
Shes somebody's mother boys. YOU know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
And somebody's mother" bowed low her hes
In her home that night, and the prayer she sal
Was: God, be kind to the noble boy.

amusing tale comes from Fahrhoff,
Canton Zurich. A countryman in the
neighborhood took an OK to the market
at Winterthur and sold it for 800 francs
paid in notes, which he carelessly put
in his pocket in company with some hot
sausages. On arriving home in. the
evening he found the notes to be satu-
rated with grease from the sausages,
and they were according placed for the
night near the kitchen stove, in order
to dry them. The following morning,
however, the notes were not to be found,
