An Affecting Incident.

Paris Letter to Philadelphia telegraph
An American lady who was present at
the recent competition of the opera class
at the Conservatoire told me of Il touch
ing little scene that took place on that
occasion. Among the competitors for
q prize was Young man called Des-
NETS, who possesses a fine basso voice
and a considerable degree of dramatic
talent; he is, moreover, tall, stalwart,
fne-lookiDg fellow, and viii produce a
good effect upon the boards. He had
chosen the scene from "Faust" where
Mephistopheles covers before the cross
handled swords that are held before
him, and, though the scene was given
with the performers In the black coats
and trousers of everyday life, so fine
was the young singers rendition of the
role that the audience was perfectly
carried away by his superb singing and
acting, and applauded him to the ocho.
As a proof of the hold he had obtained
over the sympathies of his hearers, it
was noticed when he arose from his
kneeling posture that he had split one
leg of his trousers clear across the knee,
vet nobody laughed. At the end of the
performance of the day the usual an
nouncement of the prizes was made:
Call NJ. Desmets," said the President,
Ambrose Thomas, in that full. clear
voice that he preserves unbroken de-
spite his advanced age. NJ. Desmets
entered, pale and agitated. IN. Dea
NETS, the jury has awarded to you first
prize" Then it would have been com
ical had it 1ot been so very touching

Bursting a Gun.


For the safety of amateur sportsmen
these instances of gun barrel bursting
should be cited. In bravado a young
man placed the muzzle of his fowling
piece under the water and fired the
charge. The result was the bursting
of the barrel near the breech and the
mutilation OF his hand. Another placed
and held the muzzle of his piece square
against piece of plate window glass
and fired the charge-powder and a
bullet. The glass was shattered, $50 was
the gun barrel Another instance was
that of an expermenter who had heard
that candle could be fired from sthe
barrel of gun through an inch board.
He drove a candle into the nozzle of
the gun, fired, and the explosion split
the barrel almost its entire length, and
did not even drive the candle from the
muzzle. Still another burst of a gun
barrel was caused by the use of wet
grass for wad. well rammed down over
charge of shot. But perhaps one of
the most singular exhibitions in this
line was Colts navy revolver, which,
some years ago, was sent to the factory
the adaptation of these pistols to the
metallic cartridges, and it is probable
that, in loading with open powder and
bail, only small amount got into the
chamber and the bullet was not pro-
PEELED with sufficient force to drive it
from the muzzle; at least the bullet did
not go out, but lodged. As the shooter
did not know whether the bullet es-
capped or not, he kept on firing until
the barrel burst or bulged, and when
it was sawed in two longitudinally there
were found fourteen bullets wedged
one into the other, and so much upset"
by the hammering of the successive ex-
plosions of the powder charges that
some of them were not less than one
inch diameter, being fattened disks IN
stead of cOnical bulletS

A N Odel Hungarian Gypsy.

Johai tells story of gypsy whic h
illustrates the happy freedom from all
the ordinary restraints of civilization
which characterizes the race. The
gypsy was the happy father of flour
ishing progeny of twelve children, one
of whom a hunter happened to shoot
one day, mistaking it for his more law
fui prey. To console the unhappy
father, the repentant hunter gave him
a compensation in money, which he
considered approaching adequacy from
his own point of view, but which
seemed SO magnificent to the gypsy
father, that he ventured to suggest if
his benefactor should think of hunting
again, he still had eleven children who
might be turned to account by sim

Fifteen Years an FmDOStpr

From the LO don Society,"
The following case was related to me
by bishop of the Church Of England:
There was a man who had oficiated as
clergyman in a large town for about
fifteen years. At the lapse of that time
it was accidentally discovered that he
was an imposter. A new oishop came
or the man went into a new diocese:
anyhow, the request came that he would
produce his letters of orders Letters
of orders are rather precious and re-
markable documents; il once they are
lost they can never be replaced. The
pseudo-clergyman replied, expressing
his great regret that / u the course of a
removal the letters bad been hopelesslv
mislaid; but hoped that the length of
time ne had served in the diocese
would be considered sufficient voucher.
The bishop wrote back to say that he
regretted the loss of the letters of or
ders, and it would be quite sufficient if
he gave exact dates, which would enable
him to refer to the diocesan registry.
The imposture then became known. Tt
was matter of great anxiety to settle
what had best be done under the cir
cumstances. OF course very large
number of marriages had been per
formed during these fifteen years. not
one of which was legal. The first sug-
gestlon was that an act should be
passed making these marriages legal.
There were objections to this course.
Itwas considered that an immense deal of
pain would be caused by the publica-
tion Of the invalidity of these marriages,
and that peculiar hardship would be
done in the case of children, where

Using Long and Short Words.

1t is odd that long words more COM
monty express ignorance than do the
short words. Short words are used for
the expression .of stalwart ideas that
are perfectly capable of standing alone,
while the refinement of those ideas are
more commonly expressed in long
words. The grandest thoughts in any
literature are expressed in few and well
chosen words, and, as rule, the man
of ideas is more simple in his language
than he who has no originality, and re-
lies on others for thoughts, which he
then proceeds to put into his own ex-
pressions. The man of ideas which are
capable of standing alone is usually
careless about the appearance his ideas
may make, just as the rich man is con-
tent to dress more plainly than his
poorer neighbors, because he and every
body else knows that he is rich; his
wealth speaks for itself, and he has no
need to put any considerable part of it
on his back, while his poorer neighbor
is sometimes obliged to dress better
than he can afford to do, for fear some
one may think he is poorer than he
really is. 1t is also often noticed that
men OF ideas hesitate in, their speech
more than do those who have few ideas
and few words to express them in. The
reason is evident. Men of large vo-
cabulary will pick and chose in their
words in order to get the word that will
best do the work expected of it. If this
one will not answer, it will be taken out
and another substituted, while the man
of limited vocabulary and few ideas
will never be at a loss for the simple
reason that he has but one set of words
to express them. The words are easily
fitted to the ideas and the work is done.
Of all people in the world, young wo-
men are the most glib in conversation,
but this is notfrom any quantity of ideas
or words either, for the command of
either is usually limited, but from the
reason already assigned. The man
who has but one suit of clothes is never
troubled about dressing himself, for he
puts on his one suit and goes about his
business. 1t is the man who has q
number of different suits who is con-
fronted by the problem what to wear
and how to wear it.

Will Power.

The secret of success in life lies, as
all history proves, in the power of the
human will. No man ever became
great leader of men whose will was not
the controlling force by which he DOM
mated over others. Men, indeed, have
been distinguished in the world of
letters, law, science, the pulpit, and in
legislative halls, by varied gifts and at
tainments; but in no case has man
found following except by the mag
netic power of his will. In illustration
of this fact we have only to note the
names of Mahomet, Cesar, Napoleon
Bonaparte. Cromwell, William Ill,
and on this side of the Atlantic Wash
ington, Jackson, Henry Clay, Stone
wall Jackson and President Lincoln.
All these were men of strong wills,
bending to their purposes all who came
within their reach. 1t is no answer to
this statement that these men met with
strong opposition, and they did not
ever in the end overcome, all opposing
forces. The point is that their wills
held to their purpose their followers.

Lincoln. He then ,ejoined the army
and accompanied Gen. Sherman In ms
"March TO the Sea-" and continued
with him until the surrender OF Joseph
Johnston, April 26, 1865. Gen. Logan
took command of the army OF the Ten
nessee the Esd of October, rendering
his resignation just as soon as active
service was over, being unwilling 70
draw pay unless on duty in the neid.
President johnson quickly rendered TO
him the mission to Mexico, which nc
declined.
The republicans of his district sent
him to the Fortieth congress, where ne
served in the impeachment trial on
President johnson. Reelected to the
Forty-first congress, he was made chair
man of the committee on military az
fairs. In this committee he was OF
great use to the nation, his experience
in the field having been invaluable to
him in regard to military legislation.
He was reelected to the Forty-second
congress, but before it was time to take
his seat the Illinois legislature chose
him United States senator for the full
term, commencing March 4, 1871. At
the commencement of the third session
of the Forty second congress he became
chairman of the military committee,
succeeding VicePresident Wilson.
At the close of his senatorial term no
returned to Illinois, to practice law in
Chicago. He had not fairly settled,
however, before he was again elected
United States senator, and took his
seat March IS, 1879; his present term
will expire March 8, 1885. He led tho
Illinois delegation in the national con-
vention held in Chicago in 1880, and
was one of the most determined of the
3O6 who followed the fortunes of ''The
Old Commander" General Grant.
General Logan is brilliant debater,
and having this position, never beats n
retreat. He has made many bright
speeches which have attracted national
attention, and by his course in the Fitz
John Porter case, has riveted the eyes
If the people upon him. His wife, who
vas Miss Mary S. Cunningham, Of
Swaneetown, H., and to whom he was
married November 81, 1855, is a worthy
and is almost as popular in
Illinois as her distinguished husband.
The general has been foremost in all
legislation for the benefit of the soldiers
of the late war, and possesses the Con-
fidence of the late rank and file to a re-
markable degree. Whatever may be-
tide him politically in the future, it il
certain that for all time his name will
shine bright in the galaxy of heroes CO
the late war.
