III the midst of parliamentary strife OF

illustrating his amazing power of rising
to All occasion, one may be given which
has the merit Of being true. On the
afternoon when he was to make an III
portant motion in the House OF Com
mons a friend, happening to call on him
between two and three o'clock, found
him Just sitting down to make some
notes OF the coming speech. He laid
aside his pen and talked for while, then
iotting down few heads on paper, went
down to the house before four o'clock,
found himself drawn into preliminary
controversy of a very trying nature, in
which he had to repel SO many questions
and attacks that It was past six before he
rose to make the great speech He then
discovered that, as he had left his eve
glasses ut home, his notes were partially
useless, he put them quietly back into bis
coat pocket, and delivered with no aid TO
his memory, and upon that one hour S

spersed with passages of wonderful pas
sion and pathos, which lasted for three
hours and viii always rank amongst his

COLBY Phonogr0ph: A little over
year and lalf ago the little son
of Mrs. Zimmerman, ut Ontario, Yer
non county, was taken very sud
DENY with spasms and commissions
The best physicians were called but
were completely taffted and perplexed
by the case. They could not fathOm
the cause OF the commissions, and, III the
course of ten days the little fellow suf-
fered through one hundred and twenty
eonvulsi as, or - fits" as some called
them. The little fellow was brought to
this place and put under the care OF
Doe Freeman. but only had two or
three of the commissions after arriving at
this place. Here Mrs, Zimmerman has
since remained, and was about year
ago married to Mr.. Legare Better. A
few weeks ago the little boy was again
taken with commissions and III twelve
DAYS had one hundred and fifty, the
most curious part of the case being that
right up 10 tIt anu LIZ bAll'
of having the commissions he would he
otherwise seemingly well with the excep-
ton of being very weak One morn
ing he complained, to his mother,
of pin pricking him, and upon pass
ing her hand over his body found the
skin pressed outward, directly over
I the stomach. Doc Freeman was imme-
diately sent for, who extracted from that
place a piece of fine cambria needle
about one inch long. From that time
the little fellow began to improve, and
showed no more signs OF commissions
until Sunday evening, after eating y
small piece Of th,nip, he was taken
again, but medicioes were administered,
and the commissions stopped at number
four, something they WA, never able t.
do before The question: now IS, has
that needle been in his bo,iy nearly TWO
years, and was it the primary cause OF
the commissions

An Anecdote of Gladstone

FROM SCr1bueT MdBdIlut4
The man is more interesting than any
OF the parts he has been called to play F.;
but We come to understand the man bet
ter by seeing how he shapes and molds
these parts. Asan orator, his conspic-
uous merits, besides his striking coun-
tenance, diguifed action. and a voice
full. rich admirably modulated, are fer
filthy and readiness. He seems to have
always at command al lnexhaustlble
store Of ideas, reasons, Illustrations,
whatever be the subject which he is
required to deal with OF all great En-
glish speakers, probably no one, not
even William Pitt, has beenso indepen-
dent Of preparation. Even Fox, swift
and rushing as he was, was great only
in reply. when his feelings were heated
by the atmosphere OF battle, whereas
Mr.. Gladstone is Just as animated and
torcible in AN opening, OF IN purely or
nal0eatal and contentious harangte. as
