The Senatorial Orators.

Reporter Murphy, the veteran stem
ographcr Of the senate, says: "Webster
was very slow talker, and he would
not average over 100 words minute.
Henry Clay spoke much faster, roll
ing out about $50 words to the minute.
Calhoun was also slow until he became
reused up with the enthusiasm Of his
subject, when his words would flow
more rapidly. The present average Of
speaking in the United States senate is
about $50 words per minute, though
there are several speakers who utter
over 200. Among the fastest speakers
at present are Senators Beck, Hawlev,
Plumb and Morgan. Beck loads the
list Senator George Of Mississippi is
perhaps the slowest. Some Of them are
very careful about their revision, and
others pay no attention to them
after they are once spoken. Senator
Edmunds never revlses a speech,
but some of the other
senators look the manuscript carefully
over before it goes to the press. One
night I heard John Bell Of Tennessee
make speech when the president Of the
senate, himself and [ were the only
ones in the chamber. It was q long
night session and all the rest of the SEN
ators were loahng either in the cloak
rooms or in the restaurant. Bell never
theless roared out his speech with all
the eloquence and earnestness Of q reviv-
alist preacher. The perspiration rolled
down his face, he tore off his collar and
preached away as though $4,000 people
we're listening to him. Yes, there have
been many funny speeches here, but that
was one Of the funniest. One of the fast
est speakers of the senate was Mr.. Sar-
gent, our late minister to Berlin. He
could speak for two hours averaging
200 words minute. There was de-
bate here some year ago Oh the District
Of Columbia bonds which lasted about
four hours, and which by actual calcu-
lation averaged between 1872 and 200
words minute

have overcome them quickly, and then
the fort and everybody in it would have
been at their mercy, so they hurried In
to the fort as soon as the women were
safe. il. 81
But the hero who had saved the peo-
pie by his quickness and courage was
left outside, and not only so, but the
savages We're between him and-the fort.
He had charged entirely through the
war party, and was now beyond their
line, alone, and with no chance OF help
from any quarter. -, X = z:a.
His hope OF saving himself was very
! small, indsed; but he had. saved all
those helpless women and children and
he was brave enough fellow to die will
ingly. for such purpose as that, if he
must. But brave men do not give up
easily, and Young Haden did not mean
to die without last effort to save him
self. Blowing a loud blast upon his
hunting horn to call his remaining dogs
around him. he drew his pocket pistols
one in each hand-and plunged spurs
into his horses tanks. In spite of the
numbers against him, he broke through
the mass of savages, but the gallant
horse that bore him fell dead as he
cleared the Indian ranks. Haden had
fred both his pistols, and had no time
to load them again. He was practically
unarmed now, and the distance he had
to go before reaching the gates was con-
Siderable His chance of escape was
smaller than ever, but he quickly sprang
from the saddle, and ran with all his
might, hotly pursued, and under ter
rife fire from the rifles of the savagos.
The gate was held little way open
for him to pass; and when he en-
tered the fort his nearest pursners were
so close that there was barely time for
the men to shut the gate in their faces.
Strangely enough the brave young
fellow was not hurt in any way. Five bull
let's passed through his clothes, but his
skin was not broken.

Tar Smoke for Diphtheria.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year old child
of Thomas Lockwood, a composition in
the Times office, became violently i'll
with diphtheria on Tuesday night
She was 50 weak that it was deemed
dangerous to try tracheotomy, or cutting
open the windpipe. On Thursday Dr..
Nichols of III West Washington place,
who was attending her, received a copy
of the Paris Figaro, which contained q
report made to the French academy of
medicine by DR.. Delthil, DR., Delthil
said that the vapors Of liquid tar and
t,1rpentine would dissolve the fbrinous
exudations which choke up the throat
in Group and dphtheria.
DR.. Delthil's process was described.
He pours equal parts Of turpentine and
liquid tar into tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinous
smoke arises, which obscures the air of
the room.
"The patient" DR.. Delthil says, "im-
mediately seems to experience relief,
the choking and rattle stop; the patient
falls into slumber and seems to inhale
the smoke WIN pleasure. Inc upfnouS
membrane soon becomes detached and
the patient coughs up nnicrobicides.
These, when caught in glass, may be
seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the
course Of three days afterwards the
patient entirely RECEIVERS"
DR.. Nichols tried this treatment yes
terday with little Ruth Lockwood. She
was lying gasping for breath when he
visited her. First pouring about two
tablespoonfuls of iquifed tar on an
iron pan, he poured as much turpen-
tine over it and set it on fire. The rich
resinous smoke which rose to the cell
ing was by no means unpleasant. AS
it filled the room the child's breathing
became natural, and as the smoke grew
dense she fell asleep. y ILL., #5s.s =.

An Old Time Cider Drin kerr

One of the oldest men in Winthrop,
Me-, is Uncle Bragdon. He is about
70 years Of age now, and his occupation
from mill work to hoeing potatoes is,
principally, drinking cider. The story:
of his bargin with the widow is probably
the best of many told about him, be-
cause it is true. The widow in ques-
ton had a great pile of wood in her
dooryard, and Uncle Bragdon was hired
to saw and split it. He soon began to;
ask for cider and the widow, who had,
like every one else in Winthrop, cellar
full, favored the old mans within until:
he had elnptied q key or two, and then,
by agreement, she began to charge q
small price per gallon. The wood saw;
ing went on, with drink of cider be-
tween every two sticks, and the widow
kept tally. When the job was done the
widow and Uncle Dragdon figured up,
and for fact he had drank so much.
cider that he owed the widow $500

was soon over the line in Iowa. The marshals

great expense, as large number Of witnesses
are now at Yankton to testify, and the case will
