fits Old Pew.

A good story Is told OF a prominent citi-
zen of Jewett, Conn. and though coming
late to your correspondents ears, it is toe
good to keep. Quite a number of years
ago he moved from this village to an
other not a thousand miles distant, and
assumed the superintendency of a large
and thriving manufacturing concern.
There was but me Congregational
church in the place, and when thepews
we're sold, for reasons which he thought
savored of crowding, he was obliged to
take a seat in the rear of the church,
and one quite unusual for a person OF
his hecuniary standing. All the yeal
his family and himself saw the aristoc.
racy pass by his pew to o choice
seats in. the sanctuary ; but biding his
time when the advertised sale took place
the second year, he was there. Bidding
for a choice was the order of sale, and
it began. Without a word, and with
a voice hardly above a whisper, he rails
ed every bid. Soon one after another
fell off until the contest, amid intense
excitement, was between him and an.
other man who wanted his own way as
usual. Up and up the bidding went,
until finally his opponent, from reasons
unnecessary to name, stopped, and the
first choice was given to the quiet
victor. Walking back to his old pew
he simply said : 81 will take this, ,
and left the house.

Is Talk Dying Out.

1t Is a familiar saying that the orator
has disappeared and the newspaper has
taken his place. Is it not equally true,
that the great takers have also vanish
ed? Forty years ago there were men,
and women, too, quite famous for their
conversational powers. People of genius
In this department were fond of exhibit
ing their faculty to dazzle and entertain,
and they always found a group of admit
ring listeners. The ready raconteur
was as popular in those days as the fine
singer in these times, and out West the
conversational exploits of Corwin, Mar
shall and other noted takers were as
famous as their speeches. Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, st. Louis, New
| Orleans, and Mobile had men and wo-
men who were widely celebrated for
their colloquial talent, and the tavern
as well as the d~rawing-room was the
theatre of wit, wisdom and sparkling
Iepigram. Splendid talk was considered
one of the fine arts and as a desirable
accomplishment. Men who could talk
well were conscious of their gifts and
loved to display them. They were en-
couraged to do 50, and it was considered
childish to talk for effect. All this is
changed. Men read the papers, and
speak in mouosyllables or are thought
fully taciturn. Horse traders and book
agents largely monopolize nowadays the
gift of speech. In these times it Is
considered a badge of weakness to be a
fluent talker, and conversational pyro-
technics, such as Sergeant 5. Prentiss
and Rufus Choate and Thomas L. Mar
shall were wont to indulge in, and even
the great Webster in his convival moods,
would in these days of silent perform
ance suggest a suspicion of lunacy.
Business men particularly look askance
at a voluble talker, and so far has the
faculty of ready and varied speech gone
below par that even in social circles "a
few flashes of silence" as Sidney Smith
recommended for Macaulay, would be
prudent if one wishes to maintain any
standing for sense. The talker has GER
tainly given way to the writer, and n
may (if he has the ability say as many
saucy things as Oliver Wendell Holmes
In print, but he must beware of vocal
audacities. 1t is no longer allowable to
depart from the regulation hum drum
conversational standard III vogue, and
it is the golden age for stupid people
and for those who a only talk shop"
The pulpit might, if it would, save one
forum for the orator, but there Is no
field left for the talker save the bar
room, and the Boswells of that quarter
have no countenance outside to retail
the brilliant things they have heard.

"Those are beautiful spoons" said
Mrs. White, of 1853 Fifth avenue,

in her doorway displaying the contents
of his pack.

"Charming, and so cheap. Fifteen

have them for that" grumbled the old
man.
Mrs. White reached for her spoons,
and then carefully counted out two
coins on the old mans hand.
"There's s cents and l cent, that
makes 6 cents,o she said. "That's all
the change I've got. but I'll run over
to Mrs. Dorney's and borrow another
cent and away she went. Returning,
she was surprised to find the peddler
had gone. She went into the house,
however, and locked the door, hoping
he wouldn't come back. For a whole
hour she expected him. He didn't
come and so she concluded to put the
borrowed cent away in her purse beside
the S. gold piece she had there. But
the s. gold piece was gone and another
cent lay where it ought to have been.
THEN she knew why the peddler had
not waited for her return. She imme-
diatelY rushed off to the Harrison
street police station. without her bon
net, and told about ,r mistake. She
ordered the police i arch the city for
the peddler, but the police only laughed
at her.

poor man, could have induced Mac
Cosby to call himself Foote, or Mac
Gillakilly and OCoilligh to have re-
duced themselves respectively to Cocks
and Woods. There are some very re.
spectacle, even noble families-e. g.,
Dalhousie, Dalryniple, etc, etc.--whose
members are in no way ashamed of the
Gaelic prefix Dial, and 1 venture re-
spectfully to suggest that the sooner
Delahunty goes back to it the better.
1t has no unpleasant Specification it
merely means clan. Again, there hap
pens to have been long seated in the
province of Leinster a family of UNI
questionable Norman origin, by name
darcy, and there are, or rather there
were until recently, in the province of
Connaught, two other families called
respectively O'Dorchaidhe and Mac
Dorchaidhe. which were usually An
glicized O'Dorcy and MacDorcy, but
sometimes Darkey, for the Gaelic g is
hard. The trayler will look in vain for
these O'Dorcys, MacDorcys, and OAR
keys in Connaught now. But there are
plenty of D'Arcys in Connaught. 1 in
vite these generous Normans to join
with me in bewailing the total ex-
tinction of those two Irish families. If
even one of their members were left it
would be something, but that they
should have persisted to a man Is indeed
remarkable.

A Night sshirlwlnd.

Suddenly, during a perfect calm at
Karengon in the Province of Bohns,
Sweden, a violent whirlwind arose on
the night of September "a. 1t came
from the southeast, bringing with it
quantities of sand, earth and straw.
Quite Unexpectedly a bright light
chased away the darkness, rendering
every object as visible as at noon. The
illumination was caused by a grand
meteor, shaped like an egg which ap.
peared in the south, aud which at first
seemed to consist of myriads of large
sparks, gradually changing into a star
shiaing with ablinding lustre, and with
all the colors of the rainbow, in the
northwest, four or five metres ably We the
horizon.n AS soon as the meteor disap-
peared, the wind fell just as suddenly
as 1t arose. The phenomenon lasted
only about one minute.
