TALKING TWENTY.SIX HOURS.
A Patriot and Terrible Speech Against
Time to Kill an Unjust Bill.
Peoria National Democrat

The longest speech on record is be-
lieved to have been made by mem
Der of the Legislature of British Column
bia, named De Cosmos. 1t was in the
interest of settlers who were to be de-
frauded out of their lands. De Cosmos
was in the hopeless minority. The Job
had been held back till the eve of the
close of the session. Unless legislation
was taken before noon of certain
day the act Of confscation would fall.
The day before the expectation of
the Limitation De Cosmos got the floor
about 10 o'clock a. M and began a
speech against the bill. It's friends
cared little, for they supposed that by
1 or 2 p. m. he would be through, and
the bill could be put on its passage.
One o'clock came and went, and De
Cosmos was still speaking-hadnt
more than entered upon his subject.
Two o'clock-he was saying, Gin the
second place." Three o'clock-he pro-
duced a fearful bundle of evidence and
insisted on reading it. The majority
began to have suspicion of the truth
and kill the bill. For awhile they made
merry over it, but as it came on to
dusk they began to get alarmed. They
tried Interruptions, but soon abandon
ed them because each one afforded
him a chance to digress and gain time.
They tried to shout him down, but that
gave him breathing space, and finally
settled down to watch the combat be-
tween the strength of will and weak
ness of body. They gave him no mer-
cy. No adjournment for dinner; DO
chance to do more than wet his lips
with water; no wandering from the
subject; no sitting down. Twilight
darkened, the gas was lit; members
slipped out to supper in relays and re-
turned to sleep in squads, but De Cos
mos went on. The Speaker to whom
he was addressing himself was alter
nately doing snoring, and trying to
look awake.
Day dawned and majority of the
members slipped out to breakfast, and
the speaker still held on. 1t can't be
said it was very logical, eloquent or
sustained speech. There were digres-
sions in it; repetitlons also. But the
speaker kept on, and at last noon came
to batfied majority, livid with rage
and impotence, and a single man who
was triumphant, thought his voice had
sunk to a whisper, his eyes were sunk
en- and bleared and bloodshot, and his
legs tottered under him, and his baked
lips were cracked and smeared with
blood. De Cosmos had spoken twenty
six hour, and saved the settlers their
lands.

The Southern MOrmOns.
Savannah News.

A reporter of the Chattanooga Times
has had an interview with Elder Nor
gan, President of the Southern Mission
of the Mormon Church, and one of its
most important and influential mem
bers. Mr.. Morgan says that the Nor
mon religion is daily gaining strength
and favor in the Southern States. He
says that the people at large are ex-
pressing more sympathy and friendship
toward the church. AS they are be-
coming better acquainted with its work
ings and detail Of its teachings, this feel
ing becomes the more manifest. They
now average about thirty baptisms each
month in the Southern States alone, and
the number is continually increasing.
The demand for more elders is constant
ly coming from the South, and it has
at last become so persistent that at the
April conference twenty more elders
will be ordained and distributed through
the South to propagate the doctrines of
the Mormon creed. There are now
about forty missionaries Of that church
in the South, and in addition q number
of local preachers. Elder Morgan says
that the opposition which was forme rly
manifested, and which last year cul-
minated IN the murder of an elder, is
now rapidly dying out, and they are
everywhere meeting with more favor
and encouragement.

Oysters ON the Carolina Coast.

The banks of the rivers, creeks, and
sounds which form the inside route be-
tween Charleston and Savannah, and in
other southern localities, are lined with
large RIGGS of small, bitter oysters,
known to the people in those sections as
raccoon oysters. They accumulate with
wonderful rapidity, and not unfrequent.
ly forms reefs in the channels where
upon the small steamboats, plying in
these waters get aground. At low tide
the tops of these ridges are out of wa
ter, and the oysters have taken their
name from the fact that raccoons at
such times comes down from the woods
to eat them. They are a willy bivaive,
and much better than a steel-trap for
capturing raccoons. In rowing from
Wappo cut, James Island, distance of
about fifty miles, | have seen as many
as four coons upon whose claws the
oysters had foreclosed to hold firmly
until the rising tide drowned their
enemy.

Queen FiCteria's Last Leyee.
London World.

The levee on Wednesday lasted ex.
actly an hour and half, and in that
time no less thfn 1,S00 passed through
the presence-chamber of which num-
Der 345 were presentations. Her MAJ
esty remained exactly an hour and ten
minutes, after which the Princess Beat
rice took her place. All this time Her
Majesty remained standing, the better
to return the obeisance made, and few
can realize the great strain thus invol-
we'd. 1t is not, however, the actual ia.
tigue so much that prevents her Maj
esty staying it out as a feeling of sick
ness and fain,ness that comes over her
The incident was the presentation of
a petition by Lieut.-Col. Sutherland
Dowson, of the Tenth Regiment. The
complaint on Col. Dowson's part is that
an official at the horse guards declined
to aUcede to the application for prefer
ment without first having his palm we'll
oiled. The Duke of Cambridge was
furious at the presentation of the petit
ton being allowed; but the right is too
old-established, it appears, to be abs
rogated, even at the will of the Royal
Duke, and so her Majesty received the
netition in person. Another episode
was the fact of a naval officer, with
medals for two campaigns, passing
with a wooden leg,-not q cork immi-
tation, such as Mr.. Heather Bigg might
supply, but downright honest wooden
stump, that made itself heard even
through the velvet pile of the carpet

Vaseline.

A new product made from petroleum
is jelly called "Vaseline," which is of
the greatest utility in medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered it's great
value In the treatment of wounds, burns,
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every a1lment where llniment Is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance is
now In constant use, and is acknowledge
ed not only to be the best treatment,
but also one of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is put
up IN bottles by the Chesebrough Man
ufacturing Co., of New York, and as a
family remedy, is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior to those of
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblains
is almost magical. As an emollient,
Vasellne is way ahead of anything else,
as it renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve and
restore to the complexion the hues of
youth, making the cheek like velvet
and tae skin like satin. The complexion
powders in common use, are, as rule,
injurious to the skin and destructive Of
any complexion, while Vaseline is en-
tirely healthful and beneficial. There
is also made a "Pcmade Vaseline,"
which is said to be of great benefit to
the hair, keeping it soft and glossy, pre-
venting and curing dandruff, and keep
ing the scalp healthful and free from
disease, and from those Objectionable
creatures which sometime find dwell
ing there. Numberless instances are
cited of how by the use of this pomade

orous growth. Both the pure Vaseline
and the pomade are put up in twenty
five cent bottles and are to be found at
all first-class druggists, and we advise
our readers to make a trial Of this won
derful substance, and we think they will
find its claims to merit not in the least
ggerated.-Sunday Times.

An INCIDENT.
BY AGNES MCDONNELL.


Unarmed and unattended walks the Car.
Through Moscow's busy street one Winters
day,
The crowd uncover as his face they see,-
''God greet the Carl" they say.
Along his path there moved fCneral,
Gray spectacle of poverty and woe,
A wretched sledge dragged by one weary man,
Slowly across the snow.
and on the sledge, blown by the Winter wind,
Lay poor coffin, very rude and bare.
And he who drew it bent before mis- load,
With dull and sullen air.
The Emperor stopped aud beckoned to the man
WHO is't thou dearest to the gIave?" he said
"Only soldier. Sir!'' the short reply.
"Only soldier dead
"Only sOldier!" musing, said the Gear:
Only a Russian, who was poor and brave.
Move on. follow. Such an one goes not
Unhonored 10 his grave"
He bent his head, and silent, raised his cap:
The Gar of all the Russias, pacing slow,
Following the coffin, again it went,
Slowly across the snow.
The passers OF the street, all wondering,
Looked on that sight. then followed silently;
Peasant and prince, and artisan and clerk,
All IN one company.
Stil, as they we Mt, the crowd grew ever more
Till thousands stood around the friendles:
grave,
Led by that princely heart, who, royal, true,
Honored the poor and brave.

who was living in Moscow when it took place.

A Curious Dental Operation.
Cincinnati Gazette.

DIR. Rosenthal yesterday performed
the curious medical feat of grating a
colored mans healthy tooth in cav
ity in white mans mouth. 1t is we'll
known that the teeth of colored men
are sounder, as rule, than those of
white men, and cases of the above have
occurred, though they are not frequent,
for reasons that are easily understood.
Yesterday, DR.. Rosenthal drew
the teeth of awhile patient, and
Immediately went down to the restau-
rant under his office on Fourth street,
opposite the Grand Hotel and found
a colored man, with whom he bargained
for one of his teeth at $40. The color
ed man went upstairs, took his seat,
and his tooth drawn, and received so.
The tooth was then placed in the pa
TENTS mouth, where it is expected to
take hold.

A Cheyenne Bet.

Cheyenne men will bet on anything.
Two of them put up s. apiece on a
wager that one could hold a wasp in his
hand longer than the other could, and
the fellow who rubbed chloroform on
his hand expected to win, but the other
fellow happened to know that male
wasps don't sting, and got one of that
sex, and they grabbed their wasps and
sat and smiled at each other while the
crowd wondered, until the chloroform
had evaporated, and then the fellow
who used it suddenly let go of his
wasp and let the audience into the Sc
cret of how to swear the shingles of
