How Henry Clay Prepared His
Speeches.

When he deemed it necessary to make
an argumentative speech, or what is
generally called a set speech, he had his
books piled into a carriage, and with his
servant went just over the Maryland line
to the plantation of Hon. Charles 81.
Calvert, and there remained in privacy
until he was ready to address the Senate.
Mr.. Calvert was one of the wealthiest
men and leading agriculturists in the
State of Maryland. Mr.. Clay's room
was upon the ground floor upon the back
side Of the house, and opened upon a
large portico from which there was
magnificent scenery, as attractive a
place as a retired statesman could desire,
and the freedom of the plantation was
his, with all its numerous servants, CON-
ing and going, arriving and returning,
as he pleased. Mr.. Glay's there
gives notoriety to the establishment to
this day. Few strangers at Washington
In the summer timefail to visit it. Ithas
ever been the object of the proprietors
to keep the room as he left it. There
are his easy-chair, dressing-gowns and
slippers. But his set or argumentative
speeches were not what gave him char
acter. He was not like Mr.. Calhoun,
when he made an uninterrupted speech
in the Senate, nor like Webster in the
Supreme Courtroom. 1t was for his
forensic or disputative talents hat he
was distinguished above all other men.
Although the Senate and the galleries
would always be filled when it was an
nounced that MI. Clay was to speak, yet
it was always with the expectation and
hope that some one would interrupt him
and a grand intellectual sparring EXPOSE
ton would take place. OF all men whom.
l ever heard I never knew one who could
endure 30 much interruption and discuss
SO many side issues and yet finish his
speech with the entire facts and the n
tire line Of argument marked out in his
mind from the beginning, as Mr.. Clay.
Gould the enemies of MI. Clay have
formed o combination never to interrupt
him, nor be interrupted by him, they
would have deprived him of much of his
Senatorial glory. The best speeches of
Calhoun, Webster and Benton were well
considered, and read now much as when
delivered. Not SO with Mr.. Clay's best
speeches. They were unprecedented,
and as much a surprise to himself as to
his audience. Shorthand reporting had
not then reached its present condition.
Thus, Clay must suffer with posterity
incapable of hearing the varied intona-
tons of his ever-pleasing voice, or of
seeing his gesticulations, his rising upon
his toes, his stamp OF the foot, his march
down the alsles until his long fingers
would almost touch the Presidents desk,
and his backward tread to his seat, ali
the while speaking; his shake of the
head, his dangling hair, and his audience
in the galleries rising and leaning over
as if to catch every syllable. AS an i'm
promptu, cut-and-thrust debater, always
ready, never thrown from his guard,
where is your equal of Henry Clay?e

The Microscope at Homo.

In a lecture on the use of the micro
scope at home, by Henry Pocklington.
the following directions are given for
using the instrument to detect adulter-
ated dry goods: Most people like to be
sure that they get what they pay for.
The microscope, in many cases, places
the possibility of certainty on this point
within The reach of its owner. Suppose.
for example, that the lady of the house
wishes to know whether the piece of silk
she has set her heart upon is all silk. or
a mixture with cotton, jute or China
grass, and, if all silk, whether IL has
been loaded with dye and dressing. The
microscope will set her mind at rest.
lake a pattern Of the silk, unrayel the
warp and welt, and examine it under the
quarter-inch objective, and you will. at
any rate, see whether all the little fbers.
oil which the welt and warp are com.
prised, look alike. That, of course. will
not tell you whether the material ia silk
but if you procure a piece of known
silk, good, raw silk, and study its an
pearance, and compare it with the sus-
pected specimen, you will come to a
sound conclusion very soon. Then take
a little cotton and examine it. to find
that it consists of f1attened tubes. curi-
ously twisted, quite unlike the long. owl
indrical tubes of silk, and different again
from the long, consistent tubes of fax.
with their attenuated ends and marked
walls. Take wool and hairs of different
kinds, noting their peculiarities, and you
will soon be able to tell whether your
coat is all wool or Gas is much more
probable) not whether your wife's sa-

fesses to be, and will not improbably
learn a lesson in the department of trade

A Workinrman Among sayages.

We will suppose a race of unwarlike
savages, living on an island where loaves
and roast mutton grew upon all the trees,
and where the climate was so delightful
that there was need for neither roof nor
clothing. Under such conditions c~iviliza-
ton would be impossible. Conditions
somewhat similar actually do exist, and
under these civilization is impossible.
The reason is plain. We have said that
the people are savages-that is, they are
motived by those wants only which are
inseparable from all animal life. They
are motived by the want to eat and the
want to reproduce their species. Both
these they can satisfy with next to no
labor; at all events, there is no place for
effort, and thus most of their life con-
sists Of a painless leisure. Nevertheless,
they do not employ this leisure in pro-
ducing luxuries that shall supplement
their necessaries. Labor is impossible
to them. They are no more capable of
producing wealth than they would be
had they neither hands nor muscles.
Their island is rich, we will suppose, In
coal and in metals; but they sink no
shafts, build no furnaces, smelt no iron.
And why? There is no want to compel
them to do SO. A man who is always
sure of sufficient to eat, who suffers
nothing for want of either shelter or
clothing, who has never seen or heard of
wealth, or dreamed of the attractions it
might hold out to him-such q man will
be incapable of any painful exertion, he
will be incapable of raising himself, and
SO will a nation of such men. Let us
suppose, however, that a stranger arrives
to our island, who contrives by some
means or other to possess himself of all
the bread and of all the legs of mutton,
and, withdrawing them for a single day,
makes the people feel the pangs of hum
ger. In a single day energy is created.
The thing that was not, is. Now we
have arms and hands and intelligence,
endowed on a sudden with power and ac-
tivity, and ready to be guided and partly
informed by the intelligence of him who
can give or withhold food. Now the
helpless, INDECENT, n~erveless sayages be-
come strong, industrious men. They
have been TRANSPORTED and made differ
emit beings by this one agency-the
agency of want, with the prospect of
having their want satisfied. Thus they
are perfectly plant to their despot's will
the will of the man who is the ire
sponsible dispenser Of food. He sets
them first to one labor, her to another;
he teaches them verious arts. Metals
are worked, roads are made, a palace is
built for him, and filed with furniture
and all m of Injuries; his food is
served upto HMM new and delicate ways;
he is waited upon by a retinue of serv-
ants. What then has happened to the
community during this process? 1t has
n very rich man in it; all the rest are
poor. But is it poorer than it was origi-
nally? In no way. The people origin
ally had as much food as they could eat.
That was their only riches. They have
as much food now. The only difference
is that before they receive it they are
forced to employ the time they once
wasted.-Matloch, in Contemporary Re

Defense of Animals.

MI. Arthur Stradling publishes the
following note on the offensive and de-
fensive habits of animals A serpent's
first instructive impulse of self-preserva-
ton, like that of every other animal,
lies in escape. If surprised suddenly,
or brought to bay at close quarters, it
may be too terror-stricken to attempt
fight; then it bites, following a curious
general rule which seems to obtain
throughout nearly the whole animal
world, from a passionate child down
ward, no matter what the natural
methods of offense may be. Young
Felide will keep their talons sheathed
until they have exerted all possible force
with their soft milk-teeth, and a lizard
will seize the hand which restraints ii
with its insignificant little jaws when its
tail or claws might infiict far more in
jury. The Boid@ never use their con-
~strictive powers in self-defense lunless
they are gripped), and it seems probable
that if q venomous snakes fangs lay in
its tail it would use its teeth first when
attacked before bringing them into play.
Indeed, it must be remembered that
very few animals are provided with ex.
clusively defensive weapons, and thai
the python's enormous strength in con
striction, the viper's poison apparatus
and the electric discharge of the gym
notus are given them primarily for the
purpose of securing their food.

Successful Speakers.

A great change has come ver the
popular lecturer. Formerly the much-
talked-about man like Horace Greeley
came and bored an audience. Now the
modern lecturer comes to entertain an
audience. The clergyman talks thirty
minutes. The successful lecturer will
take four times thirty minutes and hold
his audience like a five-act drama. He
will instruct his audience, too. The first
purpose of wen q humorous speech is to
persuade men A great speech or lecture
will be talked about for weeks. II a
speech is brilliant and eloquent, so much

A hard-headed bank President ono
congratulated himself, in the presence O
Mr.. Mathews, on resisting, as a foreman
of a jury, the ~oratorical Establishments G
Mr.. Choate.
"Knowing his Skill" said the hard
headed man, Sin making white appea

mind at the outset that he should nc
fool me. He tried all his arts, but

"you gave your verdict against M
Choate's client?"
Why, no /; we gave a verdict for b

It new occurred to the bank Pres
