The loss of nearly 200 lives by an accident
near Cuantla is the first unfortunate incident
connected with the railroad movement IN
Mexico. which has been in the full tide of
success. The calamity will, at least, teach the
lesson that the bridges should be built with
care, even if the main line must be completed
hurriedly.

Clerical Oratorv,

Why do not our preachers study ora
tory? As preachers, not pastors, their
business is to work q certain effect, and
all helps to its production it should be
a part of the education to learn. l
presume l shall not be misunderstood
to mean the effect of displaying self,
and winning admiration for personal
gifts. What the true preacher seeks to
do is to inform the intellect with Chris
tan truth; to stir the heart. and there-
by influence the will, of his hearers.
Half tho 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 q
majority of the men set to preach are
out of their real vocation-gOod pas
tors they may be, but fit preachers they
are not; another is that those with
more aptitude for preaching do not yet
understand the means to be employed
to attain their object.
Sometimes the preacher has some
conception of the needs of human nat
ure, and knows that the truest truths
fail to move when put before men in q
dull, dry way; perhaps he does his best
to acquire a good style, and succeeds
in making an ably-written discourse.
But when he comes into his pulpit to
give it to his people. where is the i'm
preston it should prOducep What be-
comes Of his choice words, his cOnsid-
cred s~entences? There they lie upon
the page he holds; he proceeds to read
them. Why do they fail of any resultp
1t is for want of delivery, of the orator.
ical art of making mere words ''tell."
His faithful effort goes for little; he
seems to his hearers to be reading some
thing to them, as he is-nOt to be speak

An English critic draws this unlove-
" portrait of the novelist ''Ouida:"
Some years ago visitors to the Lang

ton. She was Of uncertain age, ap-
parently in the fOrties. but affected o

out in wild wisps like hOrse-hair. This
lady was by no means pretty. and her
apparel was more ostentatious than
tasteful. She wholly lacked tho French
art of good taste In dress. She had no
idea Of asserting her colOrs. O could
she aver attain to that original ocean
tricity which. being ahead of the
fashions Of to-day, sometimes sets those
for tomorrow. All this would have
been immaterial If the lady in question
had not, as above said, been so evident
ly DESTROYS of being stared at. Her
stupid posture, her intent way of gaz-
ing ut people through a double eye
glass as If she had met them all before,
but could not remember where, and her
tripping gait whom she crossed the
room to fetch a newspaper or speak to
a waiter, often induced other visitors to
wonder who she was. Many took her
for an actress. but when q man had
stayed a few days in the hotel, he al
ways learned that the fair Oddity was

Water on the Farm.

No farmer can afford to do without
water OH his farm. Nothing is more
truly essential for the health and
prosperity of the stock than good
water: if there are no springs, good
wells should be bored or dug ut the
house, barns and stables, us well rs in
the pastures. With the aid of the
windmills Il good volume of water
can always lie brought To the surface.
Where there is Il scarcity of water
on the premises, farmers a now find
time. while waiting for their gram
stacks to become ready for the thresh.
ers. To sink their wells. AS this is

Frequently when wells are dug during

Jefferson Davis's History.

AS we read these pages we are
carried back To the period before the
war, into the atmosphere of the South
III the time of the mtislavery con-
flict,-a IN atmosphere murky with
deceit and elf-deception, when men
listened only 10 their passions, and
took their own ignorance of others
for the truth. Mr. Davis is Il man
who has learned nothing and for
gotten nothing, "A genuine Bourbon {;
and il is this which gives value to his
book and makes it typical. The
world in its progress has moved by
him, and he is no wiser and no better
than before. Other men, other South
err leaders, for the most part have
learned something, be it much or
little, i'll the last twenty years Mr..
Davis has learned nothing. lie is a
Southern leader of 1850, alive with
the power of thought, and utterly
unchanged in lSS1,-a very rare and
interesting combination. If he were
not so, he would be more respectable
as a man, but his book would be very
different and probably much less
instructive. AS il is, these two large
volumes seem as if they had come
from under some cornerstone where
men are wont TO put the money and
current literature of the day. The
great building rises from the corner
and becomes II of the landmarks by
which pours day after day the eager
stream of life. Years come and 90
the building burns or is torn down,
anG from under the cornerstone we
take up the yellow newspapers and
old CONS unchanged. They are the
same, instinct with the spirit of the
past, and yet speaking to us in the
present tense, unconscious Of tn @
lapse of time, of the worlds progress,
OF the manifold interests Of humane
ty, of the new ideas of a new genera
ton. They have passed into history
without knowing it, and so have the
ideas of the ex-president of the Con-
federacy. Like Irving's hero, he
thinks that he is the same after his
long sleep, and that the world is the
same, while in reality he is an old
man and il is Il new world. Here
the parallel breaks down, for Rip
Van Wrinkle found out his mistake,
but Mr.. Davis has not and never will.
For him the sun has stood still, and
he rcliearses the old talk of the old
South with IA ludicrous belief that it
is new and valid. Thus he repre-
sents living what died long since, and
SO becomes of value to the historian.
