LISTENERS AND SPEAKERS.


A writer in London Society says; We
may be able to give some approximate rea-
son for the decline Of those delightful arts
which once had greater amount of exis-
tence among us than Noyalis might have
credited us with. First, the grand old leis-
ure of other days has departed and fled.
Moreover, talk has become q marketable
commodity, and men'preier rather to listen
than to speak. Our great men distrust
mixed audiences; their speeches may be
repeated, or, worse still, they may be dis
torted. Tennyson'S words are quite true:
When oil his warm heart sherrs-warmed,
Flashed forth IN random speeches,
Ere days that dealt in ana swarmed
With literary leeches"
tits not pleasant for a man to find his
own remarks served up in q mutilated or
disguised form in another mans diary. No
doubt there are persons who would feel
greatly pleased and battered if their ran
dom remarks, when possessing real shining
ore, should be gathered up and carefully
edited. Johnson knew of his Boswell's
proceedings, and, no doubt, was both
secretly and openly pleased with it; and
the conversations which Mr.. Nassau Senior
has so faithfully recorded with the great
people whom he met at great houses have
the merit of popularizing and calculating
their views, and shedding much serviceable
illustration on their characters and careers.
/ imagine that few of his personages
would quarrel with these records, a2d it is
very probable that, in most cases, they
were not published without the full assent
and privity of the persons concerned. But
people become shy when other people,
without tact or taste, or the necessary lit.
erary qualifications, and without asking
any permission, are bent upon compiling
the literary ana and which our age so
persistently demands, and of which it, OF
| course, obtains a corresponding supply.
Another reason for the present thinness,
both of quantity and quality, may be men.
toned. The immense mass of printed lit.
erature which is ushered into the world ev.
cry day cuts the ground from under good
deal of conversation and letter.
writing: or rather, we might
say, are conversation and letter-writinp
shaped in a particular way and directed
into this new channel. The people who are
the best able to talk and best able to write
ADDRESS their remarks to the multitude in.
stead of to their friends. They find that
their time and their pen possesses 9
marketable value at the current rate of ex.
change. Hence it happens that those who
might be supposed best able to write anC
talk often do so comparatively little, and
hard thoughts are sometimes directed
toward them by their friends, who thinl
that they do not take up the ball that |!
tossed to them with sufficient alacrity.

TERRELL,

Correspondence of the Herald
TERRELL, TEXAS, June IA, 1SS2.-Since so
much Of your space is occupied in discuss
ing the subject Of congressman from this
district, allow one from another county to
have a few words to say on the
subject. The actions of few
OF your leading men" would seem to
indicate that they regard Dallas as the pos
SCISSOR in fee simple Of the congressman
from this district and that they can swap
that Office from one to another of them
selves as they may see proper, while the
voters in the district have only to ratify
their actions. Such is not the case, and Of
this. fact they are invited to take due
notice. Four years ago, at the in
stance of these same men, who now
clamor for h defeat, We nominated the
Hon. Olin Wellborn for congress compar-
alive stranger; we accepted their word as to
his ability, integrity and availability. His
first term in congress was satisfactory and
We renominated him without protest or OPP
position. His whole service has justified
their previous recommendation and our
most sanguine expectation, as no
member of congress from Texas has done
more than Wellborn, and no voter in this
district can point to a single instance in
NhiNh pioNcu w tic tiuoV
con6ded, or failed to promptly respond to
personal inquiries. Such being the case, we
were willing to support him again, believ-
ing that influence in congress was only ac-
quired after long service, and that no state
or district ever gained anything that was
constantly changing its members But, 10
and behold, these same leading influential
citizens Of Dallas come forward and tell
US that in the two last elections they made
egregious blunders, and now they want us
to nominate somebody else that they name,
throwing Wellborn aside.
Gentlemen. if you have been so ter
ribly mistaken in all the four
years just ending, do not ask us to
be handled like pocket change, and swap
ped oil to another of your recommends
tons. We are afraid OF your judgment,
and ifany change has to be made, bear this
in mind; Dallas county will not get the
congressman, nor should she ask it if she
has led us to support for two terms, a men,
Der as unworthy as some of her people try
to make us believe Wellborn to be.
PLAIN TALK.
