Everett Not a Magnetic Orator.

Edward Everett was not a magnetic
orator, who colld sway masses with his
imprisoned words and stirring gest-
urps. His sentences, always carefully
constructed and committed to memory.
were uttered with precision, clearness.
and force. His gestures, though some
times too uniform and measured, were
yet expressive and graceful His tones
were rich and varied, and his language
was chaste, elegant, and, at times.
poetical. His nature WAS too fastidi-
Gus, his temperament too cold, his SEN
sitiveneSs to reproach too keen. his
constitutional reserve too habitual and
repelling. to succeed in those arenas of
public debate where heavy blows were
given and taken, and where the loud
voice. the rustic manner. the haie-tei-
low sociality and reckless daring had
often more to do with results than the
most exquisite and polished phrases
and charming voice. In congress he
failed. He failed not only to acquire
the influence due to his superiority as q
scholar and speaker, but he failed also
in the simplest perceptions of states

fell into an almost sbject timidity and
irresOlution, which was hardly disguis-

A Monkey Fond OF Riding.

Not long ago a gentleman who rath-
er prided him self on IA very fine stud OF
hunters found that the horses did not
appear properly refreshed by their
nightly rest One of the groomS, on
being desired to keep II strict watch,
discovered that Il tame monkey belong

on the horses backs almost all night.
preventing them from taking sufficient
rest
His master. on discovering his pencil
ant for riding, and being averse to kill
ing the monkey on account OF his
horsemanship. succeeded in curing him
etlectually of his love for horses. The
next time that the hounds met he had
the monkey put into a full hunting suit,
and secured bv strap to saddle OF
his most spirited hunter, and took him
away to the meet When the fox wa
found the horse pricked up his ears a:

at once. The chase happened to be a
particularly long and severe one. the
monkey, of course. from his hight
weight, being far ahead of the iegi'l-
mate huntsmen.
A countryman who VA, coming from
the direction the fox had taken was in
terrogated by some of the sportsmen
who mad been thrown out Is 10 the po-
sition OF the hunt and told them thai
the fox was looking tired. but that none
of the hunismen were near except q lit

took leaps beautifully. Sure enough.
nNster .Jocko was in at the death, but
did not by any means appreciate the
honor. After the fox had been killed
there was long ride home again, by
the end of which time the monkey
seemed thoroughly wearicd out. After
this experience he was never known to
mount horse again. 49, DHbim Herald.

Every now and then facts come to
light which seem to conflict strangely
with the theories of the doctors. For
instance. at HowdOn. dirty, desOlate
village on Tyneside, boy was born
who at the time OF his birth had the
following extraordinary number OF
grandparents and great-grandparents
alive. The grandfather and grand
mother on the fathers side were hearty
and well and so were both parents OF
the grandmother and the mother of the
grandmother The grandfather and
grandmother on the mothers side were
active and strong and so were both
parents of the grandmother. The boy
thus had four grandparents and five
great-grandparcnts alive. each OF whom
was in active work. earning his or her
own livelihood. Yet the village where
these hale and hearty grandsires and
granddames live and flourish is one Of
the most unSanitary in England. Open
sewers run down the center of some of
the streets. Until a few years ago the
water supply was from one shallow
well. Only one solitary Scavcngcr Is
employed on halt-time for cleansing,
repairing and maintaining all the
streets. Houses have been condemned
wholesale as unfit for human habita-
ton. to the intense disgust OF the peo-
pie. Yet. notwithstanding all these
adverse conditions, these families live
and thrive Pat NAL gazette.

with the newspaper gang at once, and one
of them asked him why the madame open

chance for the imaginative Edward and he
improved il. He told the critic Of the
madame's attachment for Rochester; how
much she admired the beautiful city; how
charmed she had always been by the
hearty welcome accorded her there. Thor
oughly aroused by his local pride, the
newspaper man begged an interview with
the madame on the subject, and the willy
Edward fastened TO consent. When his
star arrived in town he told her what was

corner rubbing his hands NJ the prospect OF
