Pitting Webster Against HiiAself.
Public men sometimes And it
inconvenient to be confronted by a
previous utterance after they have
changed their opinions. The
youths Companion' gives an in
teresting incident of this aort
which occurred in connection with
a speech by MIR. Webster atsa
great tariff dinner at Philadelphia,
in 1846: .
At that time no Philadelphia
paper had q corps Of reporters at
all competent to make quick work
of two hours speech, which re-,
quired eight mon to report yerba-
tim with the requisite dispatch
for an early issue. The corsse
quence was that it was past ten
o'clock the, next morning before
the Whig paper aaearea.
+ There was saVcy little Demo
cratic sheet published then, called
the Pennsylvanian, edited by the.
late Col. Forney, which played
nice trick upon an expectant pub
lie. The editor hunted MP Mr..
Webster's great speech ON the tar
if deliverd in 1924, which Was a
thorough going argument for free
trade, in direct opposition to the
oration of the evening before. Col.
Forney struck Off q large edition
Of this speech as supplement to
his paper, heading it, in his lArg
est type, Webster's Great Speech
ON the Tariff.
The newsboys made the town.
ring with this cry soon after sun
rise. Horace Greeley, who had
come over from New York on pur-
pose to hear the speech, and was
anxious to get an early copy for
publication in New York Tribune,
rushod out Of his hotel and bought
several Of them. Many thousands
Of copies were sold before the Joke
was discovered.
The Democrats were naturally
in great good-humor to sec Mr.
Webster thus arrayed against him,
self. The Wings could not be OK
pected to relish the jest, least Of
all Mr.. Greeley, who vented his
anger in unmeasured language.
Mr.. Webster himself, who loved
a joke, took it in good part, laugh
ed heartily, and said to the friend
who handed him the paper, II

better speech than the one made
last night

The COstliest OF Pulpits

The Old World cathedrals have some
wonderful pulpits. But it has been re-
served for the white marble cathedral of
New York to have the most expensive
pulpit, which is to be constructed of
Carrara marble, and is to be erected as an
offering of the clergy of the archdiocese
of New York to Cardinal McCloslxy, on
the occasion of the anniversary of his
golden jubilee. The pulpit will be thir-
teen feet high, of an octagonal shape,
approached by seventeen steps to the
platform. The pulpit proper will be
three feet six inches in height. The
steps will be of white marble, with an
ornamental gothic balustrade. The base
of the pulpit will be of Winchester mar
BILE four feet wide and thirty y-nine inches
high, on which there is to be a mold
ing corresponding with the columns of
the cathedral On the top of this
molding there will be central col
umn of white marble fourteen inches
in diameter, surrounded by eight columns
of colored marble, with white marble
bases and caps ornamented with foliage.
Above the columns there are two rows of
rlcn foliage, going beyond the lines of
the columns sufficiently to make the base
of the molding five feet six inches in
diameter. This base marble molding is
ornamented with ball of flowers in the
cove. The ground plan of this mold
ing as well as of the pulpit is octagonal.
the pulpit is to rest against one of the
marble pillars of the cathedral, and will
have six sides which are exposed, one
being occupied by the entrance to the
stairs.
On the five corners of the pulpit which
are exposed there will be Gothic canopies
} and brackets under them, supporting
statues of five great preachers of the Cath
olic church. The places between the can
opies will be richly paneled in Gothic
style, the columns of which, as we'll as of
those of the canopies, will be polished
Mexican onyx. The ground of the panels
will be of a rich Gothic tracery; the
groups above the panels will be of rich
foliage, surmounted by table molding
ornamented, which is the top of the pull
pit.

way train, an important-looking gentle
man took a seat beside a quiet man and
began a conversation:

said, "to get a pardon for convicted
thief. I'm not personally acquainted
with the governor, but he can't afford to
refuse me-"
'Gs the fellow guilty9" asked the man.
"Of course he is, but that makes no
difference. His friends have agreed to
give me five hundred dollars if l get him
out, and the thermometer is very low

said to be a good receipt for the paper;
Ten parts of rags. forty of straw, fifty of

sixty parts of detilbrinated fresh blood,
thirty-tive parts of lime powder, five
parts sulphate of alumina After drying,
ten or twelve rolled leaves are coated
again, placed over each other, and then
placed in heated molds. The albumen
in the blood forms a combination on
pressure with the lime which is perfectly
proof against spirits, etc. The bottles
are made in two pieces, which are joined
afterwards.

A Mountain Sinking.

A remarkable occurrence is reported
from Bona, Algeria. An isolated noun
tain, Jebel Naiba, 800 metres in height
is rapidly decreasing in altitude, and
round its base considerable cavity is
being formed. The whole mass of the
mountain is evidently sinking. The
neighborhOod of Bona must, however,
have already been the scene of similar
phenomenon. Lake Fezzara, which meas
ured over II, 900 hectares in extent did
not exist during the time of the Romans
Its depth in the center is only $50 me-
tres. Investigations which were made in
1870 showed that the remains of Roman
town now lie in the lake; this town has,
therefore, probably sunk In the same man,
