Mr.. Allen, in his article on Daniel
Webster, in The Century, mentions his
great, soft eyes, as being peculiarly
attractive TO children. This reminds
me of an incident which may perhaps
show that those eyes had sometimes a
different effect. Mr. Webster was once
spending the summer in town near
Boston, and, as was his custom, attended
church regularly, both morning and
afternoon. TN one occasion ii fell TO
the lot of an unhedged youth TO try his
wings in that pulpit. lie rose, as was
natural, with some trepidation, to begin
the service. This trepidation gradually
increased, till toward the close of the
hymn he faltered perceptibly, and
as he sat down by the minister of
the parish, he whispered; doctor, |

Sible for an extemporaneous discourse

After the Battle.
The Century,


After the engagement went over the
field in front of the enemy's fort. Ad.
yancing through the tangled mass of
logs and stumps, ] saw one of our men
aiming over the branch of a fallen
tree, which lay among the tangled
abatis. called to him, but he did not
turn or move. Advancing nearer,
put my hand on his shoulder, looked in
his face, and started back. He was
dead shot through the brain and so
suddenly had the end come that his
rigid hand grasped his musket, and he
still preserved the attitude of watchful-
ness literally occupying his post after
death
AT another place we came upon one
of our men who had evidently died
from wounds. Near one of his hands
was a Testament, and on his breast lay
an ambrotype picture of a group of
children and another of a young woman.
We searched in vain for his name. IL
was neither in his book nor upon his
clothing; and, unknown, this private
hero was buried on what was doubtless
his first battlefield. The pictures were
afterwards put on exhibition for identi-
fication.

Of this. 1t is gradually becoming
manifest to the Democratic party that
the Presidents course is not only wise
and honest, but the hest one from a
political point of view. Even the
Vice President himself has begun to
comprehend this, for he has stopped
talking politics for the first time since
the election.

The President has soft..side, after

named Edward Cleary, of Washing

youngster presented his request di.

much impressed with his intelligence
and manly bearing that he deter

standing is excellent and his teachers
testify TO his habits Of study and ex-

Genius and Opportunity.

For score of years the scientific
school of criticism has tried to break
down the barrier between ordinary
minds and men of genius by proving
that genius differs in degree but not in
kind from common intellects. That
this tendency should have grown in
favor with critics is not surprising; it is
merely an illustration of that larger
tendency in modern science to regard
all organic beings as related. and to OBJ
literate the line of separation between
the lowest men and the highest ami
mails. But after accepting the asser-
ton that men of genius are only ordl-
nary men with some intellectual quail
ties developed to an unusual degree,
how does that make genius any the less
remarkable? 1t is in the difference
that the marvel lies. and not in the re-
semblance. Science will never be able
to do more than record that difference;
it will never be able to explain it. So
when we are told that Shakespeare or
Goethe was the product of his time. we
need not quarrel with the statement;
but we know that no explanation OF the
fact that Shakespeare was Shakespeare
can be given. That particular individ-
uality which distinguished him from all
other men. whether they were cOntem-
porary or not, cannot be explained by
referring to the age or to the environ
ment in which he lived.-Philadelphtd

has lately compounded mixture for
the cure of cholera. Last evening he
was in conversation with Conductor
Bradbury regarding his discovery, and
being very much Interested in its Won

his voice so as To attract the attention
of all the passengers in the car.
''Why, said he. my medicine will
knock the cholera higher than a burnt
boot. wish it would come here. and
would show you how quick | would
conquer it and make my fortune be-

genial Bradbury. ''Why, | might
