EXPLOSION OF DIAAoND.-At recent meet

Leldy called attention to broken rose dta-

was recently sitting in the sun the diamond ex-
ploded with sufficient force to drive one frag-
lent into his hand and another into his FORE

that Henry Ward Beecher was 70 years OF age.
that gentleman wrote as follows to that jour-
nal: This would make my birth year to have
been 1906. But the great family Bible says
was born on the Path OF June, 1913, and my
most ieput able parents have always assured
me that their acquaintance with me began
then. Were they mistaken? Was years old
when they took me into their arms? IL must be
SO IL your paragraphist is right, and have
always regarded an editor as lnfaliibie as Is the
Iope. Pardon my natural curiosity In desiring
to know something Of those obscure and silent
ye ars In which must have been far less noisy
than IN any subsequent period. When was 10
or IL years old should have been thankful for
the gift Of years. But do not need them now.
l have enough already, and am sure OF earning
more without depending on charity. Give them
to some lad too big for a boy and not big
enough for man, who would like to be
pumped into full manhood at once, without
the kicks and cuffs so often employed In ripen-
ing youth. You speak OF my visit to Bangor as
probably the last. DO not be too sure. What
merit has Bangor that 1t should be exempted
from the inevitable Ills OF life?

AN ENGLISH ESTIMATE OF TALMAGK.-The

about the country under the patronage OF va
rious pious lords and ladies, who publicly refer
TO him as 1.-the distinguished American divine"
like. AS American divlnes go, he may be dis
tlnguiShed representative OF the Species but
that he can be called celebrated orator" In
any true sense OF the words Is out OF the Ques-
ton. The only merit Of his style is a certain
hortd, Daily Telegraphic sort Of ornamentation
which as soon pals upon the ear as stucco ara
DeSQueS do upon the eye; his voice is coarse
and unmusical, and his pronunciation dishgured
by full-flayored American twang He drops
his final g'S In words ending .ing," talks OF
when he was "on the paddle field" remarks
that to pious lords and ladies IL win some day
be said: "Ier did 1t ter me-" and declares chill
dren TO be his ''larmS." Altogether, the Rev
De Witt Talmage struck me, when heard him,
as being sort OF Yankee Chadband who has
got little into SOciety.-lLOni0n Truth
