ORATOR JONES' SPEECH.
How Re Cut the National Tow
Line Last Night.

In his remarks on the bluff last
night Orator Jones, colored, made
many capital hits and struck a lot of
fine points in the interest of his party
and the cause he attempts to advance.
He was particularly happy on the
subject of the greenback or national
party. He said it must be lifted up
tenderly and handled with care, must
the weak pulings, pitiful rag baby.
Jones, after this allusion, went into a
review Of this party as it has appeared
to him, told how it had risen from
small dimensions to that Of a strong
ofice-holding throng, all through
the aid of their late allies, the .repub-
licans. Then when a squad got office
they declined to meet out a particle of
patronage to the dupes who placed
them in power. The speaker alluded
especially to County Trustee Fleece,
who he says employs a dozen or more
assistants. "How many colored men
has he to work for him?" said the
speaker. mot a single one. | was
dar to-day" said a listener in the
audience. He also mentioned Mr..
Dryer, who owes his place to colored
votes, and asked how many of that
shade the county clerk employs.
Then said the speaker, "These nation
ais have grown Independent of their
late assistants. They have swollen up
in their self importance like so many
fat toads, andat their recent nomina-
ting convention proposed to go it
refused to put a colored man on
their tidket, made no bid for colored
votes by having a representative from
that class whose support was previ
ously so essential to their success, and
now we will see how many votes they
will POLL Speaker Jones emphasized
his Grafton with fine dramatic effect,
made many comical grimaces, antics
and shapes to illustrate his pictures,
and excoriated all hands alike who
are not adherents of the republican

They DON'T Read.

They Don't Read.
Charles Dudley Warner.l
| think the extent of the habit OF
reading is much oyer.estimated even
in reading countries. There is a large
reading class in Germany, in China,
in England, in America, in Iceland
and in the cities of France, outside Of
these countries and a few colonies
reading is not INDUCED in. Of all
these countries, the United States is
the land in which the habit of reading
is most prevalent; and yet the most
striking fact about our population is
that SO few of them read when most of
them know how. Nearly everybody
takes a daily snatch at the newspapers,
even women have acquired the art of
deity skimming the cream off the
morning journal; but comparatively
few Of the entire population, even the
educated, read books. Unless a book
by some good luck becomes a fashion,
and is recommended in conversation
few see it; the number of people who
originally seek out the readable book
from their habit Of craving it is very
small. When a story becomes the
fashion, everybody reads it; but who
is everybody? Why. a new novel is
to have a run" if 10000 copies of it
are published-10,000 copies for 40
000,000 people. And there are books
that everybody has read, and
all the newspapers talk off,
which have not got beyond tho
third or fourth thousand. The late
Samuel Bowles once told me his ex-
perience. He had written his capital
book on the far west at the time of
the Pacific railway excitement, when
millions of people were eager for the
information his book contained. New
er did book seem to be in greater de-
mand; it was sold in England as well
as America, and all the newspapers Of
both countries quoted from it and
commented on it. Mr.. Bowles SAID
that he had never met a person who
had not read it-or who did not say
he read it, l forget which. And
yet, he asked, how many copies

believe that the majority of business
men read a book very rarely; the ma
iority OF young men in business and in
society, | fancy, read little-they do
not give their evenings to reading, and
are not apt to take up a book unless it
becomes the talk of society. People
who spend a great deal of money on
dress, on dinners, or amusements,
would think it e%xtravagant to buy a
book, and if one is commended to
them, they will wait till they can bor-
row it or get it from the library. They
do not hesitate two minutes about an
ordinary two-dollar dinner, but they
will wait two months to borrow a fifty.
cent book.

The Mcclellan Guards, Captain
Glass, and the Zouaves, another COM
pany Of colored militia, were on the
streets drilling last night, and specta-
tors pronounced their movements ad-
mirable. The colored soldiers and a
large number of Others go to

Mrs. Jane E. Mclean, wife of the
venerable G. D. Mclean, died this
morning at Rossville, Fayette county
of consumption of the stomach and
bowels, after an illness of sixteen
days. She was 70 years old, and had
been married forty-nine years. Her
maiden name was Love. and she was
a native of Kentucky. Her death will
be a sad blow to her husband and
family.
We are indebted to the Southern

Charleston railroad, is just 46 hours.
A package of freight reached this
Office, a day or two since, from New
York in that time, which is about as
quick as can be made until a balloon,
pneumatic tube, or some other mode
of transportation is adopted.
There was a rousing radical meet
ing on the bluffs last night, several
hundred people, white and black par
ticipating. The American flag, in
several sections, mixed with scatter
ing lights and cool breezes, were the
leading attractions in a scenic sense, a
colored orator named Jones, evidently
from Mississippi. was the star Of the
evening in a speaking sense. The re.
marks of Sugar Tom Hamilton, L. B.
Eaton, S. S. Garrett and others were
stale and fiat, when compared with
Jones'.
The Hon. Casey Young, member of
congress from this (the Tenth) dis
trict, came up the river last night
from Austin, Miss, on the steamer

Congressman Van Manning, of Missis-
