Clerical OratOrV.

Why do not our preachers study oratory? As
preachers, not pastors, their business Is to work
certain effect, and all helps to its production it
should be part Of Their education to learn. I
presume shall not be misunderstood to mean
the effect Of displaying SELF and winning admir-
alton for personal gifts What the true
preacher seeks to do is to inform the intellect
with Christian truth; to stir the heart, and there
by influence the will, Of his hearers Half the
sermons annually preached are, SO far as human
insight goes, q waste of labor and breath. Two
things partly account for this: one Is that ma
jority OF the men set to preach are out Of their
real vocation,-good pastors they may be. but
ut preachers they are not; another Is that those
with more aptitude for preaching do not vet
understand the means toabe employed to attain
their object.
sometimes the preacher has some conception
Of the needs Of human nature, and knows that

Tail Nall Gazette.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Times. diser ssing the probable fate Of the pris-
oners condemned for the murder of the late
Sultan Abdul Aziz, says there is good reason
to believe that those who did not actually take
part in the assassination will have their seRtenee
COMMITTED to Imprisonment for life at TAFT, near
Mecca.
- This unexpected clemency is to be attributed
at least in part to the excitement and indigna-
ton which the mode OF conducting the trial has
produced both in Pera and STEAMBOAT The Sui
tan learned that the Embassy dragomans had
unanimously condemned the proceedings as ir-
regular; that the Ambassadors had telcyraphed
in this sense to their respective governments;
that the newspaper correspondents had I'M
sparIngly described and criticised the way in
which the proceedings had been conducted
and that even in STEAMBOAT, among good Mus
sulmans. the trial had produced an impress
sion very different from what was intended
In these circumstances his Majesty per-
ceived that it would be dangerous to have the
sentence carried out. and he determined to COM
mute it. At the same time. in order to counter
act the growing conviction that the whole story
OF the assassination was an invention, rum0rS
We're prOpagated through the local press and
other channels that nearly all the accused had
made partial confessions. In spite of these
Efforts to supplement- defective legal evidence.
many people. and among them the mother of
Abdul Azizand some of the doctors who exam
ined his body, still hold to the conviction that
there was no assassination and that Abdul Aziz
committed suicide The trial has by no means
cleared up the mystery"
The correspondent adds that he is now in
position to explain why the prosecution showed
such great anxiety to get Midhat condemned
and employed such unjustillable means for this
purpose:
1T may be remembered that some months
ago the Sultan was greatly alarmed by revo-
lutiOnary propaganda, of which the chief insti-
gator was believed to be the ex-Khedive. A
judicial functionary, who has since taken a
prominent part in the trial, was ordered to make
an inquiry, and came to the conclusion that
Midhat was implicated in the propaganda. The
conclusion was probably erroneous, but it made
strong impression on the Sultau's mind and
from that moment Midhat's fate was decided
AS no legal proofs of his completely in the sedi-
tiOus agitation could be produced other means
had to be employed for getting rid of him, and
the regicide inquiry was used for this purpose"

Railroad Progress.
From the 81. Louis Glob democrat.


One Of the miracles Of modern times |,
the rapid growth In extent and impor
tance OF the railroad system Of the UNI
ted States. 1t requires III effort Of The
imagination 10 grasp the measure OF CAP
itAl, taleDt,and activity employed In thi.
one direction. We constructed In the lssl
year alone I,174 miles OF road, nearly a
much 90 the total amount Of railroad In
the country thirty years ago. In 1916

00O, 10 1870 they were $l50, OK, ,OOO, in
l6o0 they reached the enormous sum Of
S616, 10000. The dividends paid last
year were ST, 900, enough In itself
70 signify what this great interest has
come to be and how vast is the bulk Of
business which IL represents.
1t 10 easy to understand that an inter
est which has attained such proportions
requires not only stupendous invest
ment OF money, but also the ablest and
most skilful management. The truth ia,
that the railroads have absorbed and are
continually absorbing 4 markabls
share Of the best ability and energy Of
the country. Such enterprises as they
undertake not only demand the highest
talent, but tempt men Of superior force
with opportunities Of power and profIt
that are not easily foand in any other
pursuit.
It follows, OF course, that this wonder
ful progress Of the railroads marks a cor
responding growth and devel pment of
our material resources. These roads did
not receive $ol6, ,400,0 last year loI
transporting empty cars. The products
OF our farms and mines and III manufactor.

to small dimensions when c0ntrasted
with what must have been the gaius of
the industries that furnished the bu,i-
ness. After all, the figures which appear
a. nrst sight 80 startling suggest more
than they show. The marvel Is cumu-
lative one. II we would know Ito true
extent and significance we must take In
to sccoLnt tho whole arithmetic of our
prosperity. Back Of these railroad sta
tistics lie records Of achievement in agri-
culture and commerce, ,h0me-making and
noney-getting, that tell the story in all
Its breadth and completeness. Great
enterprises flourish and multiply not by
their own inherent power, but because
the country advances and grows daily
richer and stronger. The railroad Is bul

the nation Is progressing; we must in

A Great Chief Dead.

A despatch from Pine Ridge Agency,
Nebraska, gives tidings of the death
OF Spotted Tail. the celebrated Sioux
chieftain, by the murderous hand of
Crow Dog. Probably the event will
be justly esteemed by but lew white
Americans, yet the history of the
Sioux Nation, If it is ever faithfully
written, will assign prominent place
to the greatness of this departed brave ,
In time of peace the influence of Spot
ted Tail over all tho tribes that were
kindred to his own was absolute and
unrivalled, and Sitting Bull alone, af-
ter the hatchet was dug up, was capa-
BILE of causing his authority to be
evaded. After the treaty with Gen..
eral Harvey, in 1858, the voice of
Spotted Tail was always for peace,
and despite innumerable provocations
he remained friendly to the white man.
In this respect his conduct contrasted
as nobly as did his character with that
OF Red Cloud, who prior to 1875 sur
passed him in popularity. He was
never double faced. His public and
private councils were the same, He
met the white man with candor and
courtesy, displaying a depth and
breadth of intellect that are seldom
looked for in savage chieftain. His
bearing was truly majestic, as his
person was noble and handsome. It
Ia an undoubted fact that in che treaty
council OF 1875, when the cession Of
the Black Hills was in question, the
courage and address of Spotted Tail
saved the United States representa-
tives, a. well as all the other white
men who were present, from o cruel
death at the hands of mutinous minor
chiefs. He has steadily led his people
tho Brule Si0ux-in the path Of CIV
iliEation, himself setting the example
Of study and industry. During the
Sioux troubles of 1879 it was his moral
force more than anything else which
detained at the agencies a large num-.
Der OF warriors when Sitting Bull and
Crazy Horse were using every possi-
BILE ueans to augment their hostile
band. The government and the peo-
pie of the United States have owed
much to Spotted Tail, and it Is now
only q small measure of justice to re-
member him with kindness and to
name him with honor,

ANIMAL vACCIHATION.


Professor Pasteur Relates HIS Lat
est Experfments and Dissoverfes .
A Quest1On In which she Farmer
are BEGINNING 70 Interest Them.
LONDON, August 9, 1881.
Professor Pasteur's address, deliver.
ed here yesterday, on his most recent
researches ia animal vaccination is
creating deep interest in agricultural
as we'll as in medical circles, because
of the prospect it affords OF reducing
cattle diseases to minimum. Pro.
lessor Pasteur has done, az Sir James
Paget explained in thanking him In
the name Of the Medical Congress
for bis address, for the lower animals
what Jenner did for the human race.
France, says Professor Pasteur, loses
every year by splenic fever animals
to the value Of 10000, ,OOOf. In The
course of his remarks the eminent
Frenchman said:-"I was asked to
give public demonstration Of the
results already mentioned. This ex.
pertinent l may relate in a few words.
Fifty sheep were placed at my dis
posal, OF which twenty-hv were
vacclnated. A fortnight afterward
the fifty sheep were innoculated with
the most virulent anthracoid microbe
The twenty-five vaccinated sheep
resisted the infection; the twenty five
unvaccinated died of splenic fever.
Within fifty hours since that time my
energies were taxed to meet the de-
mands of farmers for supplies of this
vaccine.
In the space Of twenty FIVE days we
have vaccinated in the departments sur-
rounding Paris more than twenty thou
sand sheep and large number Of cattle
and horses. III were not pressed for

vices rendered by one OF the greatest

A Deadly weapOn.

The Supreme Court OF California has
set aside the verdict In q murder ca g
because the court below refused to give
the jury definition of the term "deadly
weapon" The testimony In the case
went TO show that the deceased, when
he was shot, was about to strike the de-
fendant with pick handle. The Judge
charged The jury "that ii they believed
from the evidence that the deceased as
saulted the defendant with q deadly
weapon, they sho Id consider the intent
with which assault was committed; and
II they should find that the deceased de-.
signed to commit felony or do the de-
fendant some great bodily injury, and
that there was imminent danger of such
design being accomplished, and that the
defendant acted alone under the fear
that such design would be accomplished,
then they should find that the defendant
was justified In killing the deceased"
The jurors, afser celebrating some hours
on the case, asked the judge to instruct
them as to what is meant In law by the
term "deadly weapon" The judge said
1t was for the jury to determine what is
a deadly weapon, and the court could
not assist them. The prisoner being
convicted, this point was taken to the
Supreme Court, where 1t was held that
the court below erred In refusing TO say
what is meant In law by the phrase
''deadly weapon" and new trial has
been ordered. The Supreme Court un.
dertakes to give definition OF a deadly
weapon, but It is 80 general in Its terms
that IL is difficult to see how IL could be
Of any assistance to a jury. "a deadly
weapon" says the California Supreme
Court, "is one likely to produce death
or great bodily injury"--a d Tuition
which Is no more definite than the term
i,elf.
