Advantage Of U,ferlsm.

The notion that grew up about six
years ago that every one ought to be @s-
thetic, and that every one who followed
certain recipes could be so, and gain
healthy enjoyment of art by merely liv-
ing in a certain atmosphere, was one that
would scarcely have needed refutation
had it not been the genuine expression,
though in exaggerated form, of the reac-
ton from the Philetinism of the earlier
part of the century. At the bottom of
the sham sentiment and fashionable
foolishness, which, as it were, armor-
plated the aesthetic movement, there was
a real desire for little more beauty in
even wish for less material view of
life itself. Possibly, the weakest strip
ping who pored over lily in a glass of
water was as estimable q spectacle as

hoisted into his inexpresssibles by

OF sage-green drawing rooms would
have compared favorably in all bus
complexion with their prototypes Of the
Regency. At all events, both the male
and the female aesthetic had some faint
notion of an ldeal-not wholly selfish,
nor wholly base-and, though the ideal
was nebulous as the atmosphere of their
boudoirs, it was sufficient to prevent
their being wholly contemplate. I'm
like Kingsley's maiden, they did no
mobile things" but dreamed "them all
long," and, though their dreams were
irritating to others-at least, when they
issued in action--they in the end worked
considerable change. It would be
difficult now for any one, ever buying
furniture or domestic utensils of any
sort to avoid becoming possessed Of
number of objects which were really
good in form or color, and the i'm
portation of really beautiful fabrics and
embroideries from the East has increased
enormously. 1t is almost as common to
see bit of Rhodian embroidery in q
drawing room now as it was to see piece
of Berlin woodwork dozen years ago,
and the houses are few and far between,
in London at least, who have not a bi,of
japanese art, whether it be on paper,
lacquer, bronze, or silk, lighting up some
odd corner. And good, too, has been
done to painting, indirectly, by making
artists feel that the sympathy of con-
siderable mass of the public is with them,
and so encouraging them to take heart of
grace to work steadily in their own way.

turer. 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

his audience too. The first purpose of
even humorous speech is to persuade
men. A great speech or lecture will be
talked about for weeks. If a speech is
brilliant and eloquent, so much SD that
men will say of it that is oratory" and
go about their business, such speech
has not struck the heart. When men
act as if they had not heard word of q
speech, it is a failure. even if it is
thought worthy of place among "speci-
mems of eloquence.
"a great Speech" said O'Connell,
speaking of addresses to jury, sis a
very fine thing; but after all, the verdict
is the thing"
Prof Mathews, from whose book on
"Oratory and Orators" we quote O'Con.
nell's remark, insists that no one would
discover the perfect orator, if such there
could be, while he was speaking. He
tells two anecdotes to illustrate his asser-
tons:
When Chief Justice Parsons, of Massa
chusetts, was practicing at the bar, a
farmer, who had often heard him speak,
was asked what sort of pleader he was.
ooh, he is a good lawyer and an excel
lent counsellor, but poor pleader," was
the reply.
"But does he not win most of his
causes?''
Eyes, but that's because he knows the
law, and can argue well, but he's no
orator"
A hard headed bank president once
congratulated himself, in the presence of
Mr.. Mathews, on resisting, as a foremf n
of jury, the oratorial Establishments of
Mr.. Choate.
Knowing his skill. said the hard
headed man, Sin making white appear
black, and black white, made up my
mind at the outset that he should not
fool me. He tried all his arts, but it was
of no use; l just decided according to
the law and evidence"
"Of course, answered Mr.. Mathews,
lyon gave your verdict against Mr..
Choate's client?"
"Why, no; we gave verdict for his
client; but then we couldn't help it; he
had the law and the evidence on his
SIDE"
1t never occurred to the bank presi-
dent or to the farmer that Choate and
Parsons were after verdicts, not admira-
ton. And they got them, because they
sunk the orator into the advocate.
"Thou madest people say, How we'll

Cicero, in Fenelon's Dialogues of the
Dead, "but 1 made them say, Let us

30 Chanca for Close Estimates.

The following incident goes to show
very forcibly the insecure condition of
the road near Laredo
AS the stage containing nine passen-
gers was about to start from the termi-
nus of the 1. & G.. N. r. r., twenty
miles distant from Laredo, one of the
passengers, clergyman from Boston,
stuck his head and some of his neck out
of the stage window and asked the driver
when they would arrive at Laredo. The
driver, who is always willing to furnish
strangers with reliable data about
Texas. replied with his usual ''Damfino.
But. my dear fellow" demonstrated the
clergyman, there is no occasion for pro
family. Can't you approximate the hour
when we shall arrive at our destination"
"You will arrive at your destination
id quick if you don't hold up your
hands when the mail agents tell you to"
II am at loss to comprehend your
meaning"
''How can tell when we are going to
get to Laredo? 1t all depends on the
robbers. There are nine passengers and
big mail, and if there is only one rob-
Der it will take him right smart time to
sort out the mail and collect the watches
and SIGH. If there are two or three of
them, having had so much experience,
they won't take more than twenty min
utes, if they don't have to stop and shoot
some of you for not holding up your
hands,"
The Mortified stranger pulled in his
head, and an hour afterwards the usual
collection was taken up. The long and
and the short man, however, returned
the clergyman his watch ont of respect
for his sacred calling and the small value
attached to q nickel-plated timepiece.--

Whatever may be the case in other
parts OF England, it certainly seems that
down in Devonshire there are yet plenty
of farm laborers to be found who have
passed all their lives in the same service.
At the late meeting of the Kingsbridge
Union Agricultural Society small prizes
were offered by Colonel Madden for COM
petition among laborers thus circum-
stanced. The Kingsbridge Journal gives
the full list Of entries, and from this il
appears that for the mems prizes thirteen
entered, and for the women's three.
The winner of the frat prize in the
former class had served one mas
tor continuously for ffty-eight
years, while the second was divided
between two men, each having record
of ffty-six years similar servitude. The
average for the whole thirteen COMPETE
tors, including two with less than twenty
years each. was nearly forty years. The
women did not show quite 20 we'll, the
first prixe-winner having only forty four
years Of continuous service in one en-
pIoy. and the second thirty years, the
average for the Ave entries being thirty
four years. II should be remembered

The Want Of Ancestry.

Mr.. and Mrs. Boggs were sitting by

with her sewing, and Mr.. Boggs was
reading about the reception of the Steu-

"Pshaww exclaimed Mr.. B., throwing
the paper aside with an expression of ex-

Nasty paints the following doleful

Irishman has not only no short-tailed
coat, but he considers himself fortunate
if he has any coat at all. He has what
by courtesy may be called trousers, but
the vest is a NTH. He has no comfort
able wooden stockings, nor is he pos
sessed of the regulation stage shoes. He
does not sing, dance or laugh, for he has
no place to sing, laugh or dance in. He

Where the Train Was.

There we're O dozen of us waiting at
the station near Strasburg, Va. for the
noon train. Every one had cut his din
der short to catch ,he train, but the hour
arrived = tve-ten - twenty minutes
passed, and then everybody wondered
what had happened. The ticket agent
was also the telegraph operator. He
was young fellow about twenty, ILL
grained and supercilious, but Impotence
overcame the fear of him, and woman
stepped to the window ana asked:
as the train late?"
"Um" he growled in reply.
How late is it?"
"Um!
This finished her, and she resumed
her seat. Five minutes more slipped
away, and very solemn looking man
carrying a solemn-looking carpet bag,
advanced from his corner and began:
Train is late, isn't it?"
eyes"
"How late is it?"
"Um."
whats the cause of it?"
Noanswer.
He hung around minute longer, and
then solemnly marched back to his seat
and gave someone else chance to get
bluffed. After the fifth one had been
turned away, short, grizzly headed
man, who had been whiting single
on the platform and softly humming
I'VE Won't Go Home Till Morning." en-
tered the waiting room, looked up at the
clock and then sauntered to the ticket
window and queried:
"Whar's that train?"
The young man was looking over some
freight bills, and he did not raise his
head.
"Whar's that train?" repeated the
whittier, in a louder voice.
The agent looked up for second, but
let his eyes fall without answer.
"Whar's that train?" shouted the pas
senger as he brought his fist down on the
shelf.
No answer.
After waiting ten seconds he walked
out doors, turned to the right and sud-
denly entered the ticket office, through
the freight house. Walking straight up
to the agent, he reached over the table
and seized him, pulled him across like a
streak of lightning, and as he gave him
shake and jammed him into o corner,
he called out:
"Whar in thunder and blazes is that
ar train"
cts coming" gasped the agent.
"When-whar-whic ?"
I'm about t-twenty minutes"
"What made 'er late ?"
'"The engine broke down at Winches-
ter"
"Then why in Crocket's name didn't
you say so in the furst place. Young

"Y-yes-certainly-train' behind time

for money, and we felt like raising a
