Conrr.,s and Its Orator.

Many will wonder no doubt how this now cele-
brated brand received the name Of Orator. The
name originated us follows:
Mr.. b.. agent for Clrstairs, Mccall ,E Co.,
called on Congressional friend who had Just
been elected 10 the FOrtysiXth Congress. This
Member was very talented man, but was very
poor speaker. He could never address au assem-
bly, without becoming nervous or emDarraSssd.
Conscious of his falling, he had tried very hard TO
overcome II, but his efforts were unsuccessful and
the world would probably have lost some of the
most brilliant, logical, and eloquent speeches. but
for an unlooked-iOr remedy. Mr.. Is. had heard
his friend speak of his troubles. Mr.. B. resolved
TO cure his friends troubles, and presented him
case of whisky. Before you attempt to make
your next speech want you to try that article
said Mr. b. I'm do it," promised the Congress-
mOn. He did ns he promised and the result was
wonderful His nervousness hnd departed ana
instead OF his usual embarrassment, his mind
was clear and his action free and easy. Inc here
toiore unattractive unistened-to speaker was
soon surrounded by admiring friends, and every
one manifested the deepest interest aud when he
concluded congratulated him for having mace
on the floors of Congress. His admirers were un-
able to account for this sudden outbreak OF elo-
quence, and when the now happy Member wns
asked TO explain. he said: Gentlemen, extend
you IL cordial invitation 10 my rooms at the
hotel" They came, they partOok, they hastened
back to deliver themselves, what was the RESULT
Those line speeches that were delivered during
the debates of the FOrly-sixth Congress The
purtakers, desirous 10 procure the brand, called
on the great benciaCtoT OF mankind, Mr.. b., ana
made known their wishes Mr., b. then explained
that his brand was known as o o q. L. Tho VS.
itors held consultation and suggested the name
of Orator, in cOmmemoration of the great dis
covCry of eloquence in the first Member that ever
used II, and II was unanimously agreed, lOtWlth-
standing the stringent orders against sucA toh cs
that the orn;ur, otherwise known and marked as
Elixir OF ElOquenCe, should be Kept IN conVen-
lent places Tor those about TO make the greatest
efforts OF their lives and judging from the eNten'
siyc use OF The brand 1T the capitol, every Mem
Der of congress Is about to make his great effort.
OF course, this Article must be used with some
moderation, otherwise the effect will bo too
low-ery.
The next day caucus was held, and the follow
ing resolutions were offered
