EDWARD EVERETT.

The late DIR. Chaplin was once asked
what he lectured for. Fame" he re-
piled, 1850 and my expenses" Those
we're in the days when lectures were be-
coming popular. Since then MIR. Beech
err and Mr.. Cough have been paid from
5000 to $500 for single lecture. A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
gossiping about the pecuniary success
of Edward Everett's lectures, says:
Everett was hardly lecturer in the
ordinary sense of the term, and yet his
address on the character of Washington
delivered in behalf of the Mount Yer
non Association, was of this nature
The amount cleared by the deliveries
of this address averaged $500 for each
occasion, and it was repeated one hun
bred and thirty times. In fact, Ever
ett's oratory has done more for charity
than that of any other speaker on rec
ord.
Including the Mount Vernon effort,
the aggregate is nearly 100000. may
add, as special feature, that his adj
dress on the early days of Franklin,
which was repeated five times, yielded
"a, 900 for charitable objects.
Another address which was repeated
fifteen times brought $13, 500 for similar
purposes. The eulogy on Thomas
Dowse, delivered twice in behalf of
two institutions, brought 81 500.
Everett was the most accomplished
man of his age, being at home in states
manship, literature, oratory and the
highest walks of learning.
His versatility was such that it de-
served the expression which Johnson
applied to Goldsmith, that there was
nothing in literature that he did not
touch, and nothing that he touched that
he did not adorn.
Everett's memory was something real
ly wonderful. AS a preacher he fire.
quently memorized the hymns to be
used of Sabbath, because it aided in
reading them to the congregation.
He committed to memory almost
everything that came under his atten-
ton for many years in other words,
what entered the eye was fixed on the
brain.
To this is to be added rare personal
beauty, statuesque dignity and charm
ing power of oratory. How surprising
that this admirable concentration of
gifts never inflated their possessor, who
was through life so marked by simple
it, of character.

seeing that he had, step by step, followed
our trail /; his only guide, of course, be-
ing the sense of smell. Here, his tracks
were deeply printed in soft mud, and
there, more sharply defined on the mel
low banks of nitrous earth, less distinct
ly along ridges of sand, or over heaps
of stone, or up steep stalr-ways.
Thus Brigham had followed us,
through darkness deeper than that of
midnight, along the narrow beach of
Lake Lethe, across the treacherous nat
ural bridge spanning the River Styx, up
to the galleries overhanging the Dead
Sea, through the wild confusion of
Bandits Hall, and by many spot where
one misstep would have sent the poor,
lonely creature plunging downward in
darkness to inevitable death.
It will be remembered that we had
gone in past the Giants Coffin, by the
arched way among the deep pits, and
through the mazes leading to River Hall.
But we had come out by newly-dis-
covered mode of exit, through an intri-
cate set of assures, known, on account
of its winding nature, as "The Cork
screw" We preferred this because it
aved mile and half of travel. Our
four-footed friend, pursuing the fresh
est scent, went, of course, up the Cork
screw. The opening is too irregular to
be called pit or shaft. Yet it winds
upward for a distance, vertically, of
about $50 feet, but fully 500 feet as one
climbs, creeping through crevices,
twisting through "auger holes and
scaling PERCEPTIONS rocks scattered in
the widest confusion imaginable. Three
ladders have to be mounted in threading
this passage. One energies, at last, ON
the edge of cliff overlooking the main
cave, and down which he chambers to
the level floor, where the road runs
smoothly along to the Iron Gate, quar-
ter of mile distant.
Only think of it Through all this
intricate and hazardous pass, where,
without guide, we should have found
it difficult to make our way, even with
lamps and a map of the cave, that yell
low dog had safely gone alone He
offered no explanation of his proceed
ings. nor told us what motive prompted
his Independent explorations. But that
was his affair, not ours. We honored
him as hero, and obtained for him,
from the manager, Mr.. Francis Klett,
the freedom of the cave for the rest of
his life.-H. c. Honey, in ST. Nicholas.
