Stump Speaking.

Ex-senator Boutwell,, in addressing
the Middlesex club in Boston recently,
spoke as follows, "seriously," OF stump
speaking: II wish to say that the art
OF stump speakingis not a lost art,
it is not valueless art, and in a coun-
try like this it is a very great power,
and all art which those who intend to
take part in public affairs should wisely
cultivate. In the first place, you can
never know the public sentiment OF the
community unless you are endowed
with some sort OF clairvoyant power,
unless you meet the people; and in
these great assemblies, when you look
into thefaces of men and women and
lay down your. propositions and pro-
ceed to make your arguments, you get,
by some mysterious process, an impress
sion ;ts to what they think. No discreet
public speaker, in making speeches eve
ry thirty or forty miles, will, in fact,
make the same speech with which he
began. He will lose the speech with
which he began, and construct a new
one under the dictation of the audi
ences before him. He is under the in
fluence Of the people, and comes to
realize what they believe, and he
knows what opinions and arguments
will produce effect and what consider
ations are valueless. In that respect
the stump speaker has an immense ad-
vantage over the newspaper. Now,
the newspaper men will please pardon
me for saying that, while for every
three years and nine months in the
quadrennial they appear to rule, dur
ing the three months preceding a pres
idential election, when the men who
take part in. public affairs present
themselves before the people and pre-.
sent the issues and arguments on one
side and the other, the press, omnip.
otent as it is, bows itself to the men
who canvass the country, and merely
reproduces the opinions and arg,l.
ments which the stump orators set
forth. 1t is difficult to state what the
art of oratory is. Great men, from
Quintilian all along, have endeavored
to explain what it is, but it is still a
mystery. But we know that there are
some men under some circumstances
who, by the voice, by the manner and
gesture, produce not only temporary
but lasting impressions on the mind
Men who possess these gifts IN any
country or civilization OF the worlc
will have power. When the man ap
pears who shall express himself as die
Dcmosthenes, Cicero, Burke, Grattan
or Webster he will have made an in
dellble mark upon the history of his
country, and leave his name for tn
consideration and admiration OF fu
ture generations"

as anxious TO get her Dstby back as
she was to get hers. = u q.
The early morning train brought
Mr.. Brown, ii less; agitated quite as
much distressed at heart us Ills wife.
Alter q hasty consultation.the two
determined to take the baby and start
out in the same direction taken by the
strange lady, hoping to find some
cleW to her name and whereabouts.
+ When they rea ched the station the
train wanted some minutes OF being
due. 5lSs @ g:s :@. #.@ II -
Mrs. Brown went into the "ladies'
| ROOM" but her husband renamed
outside, walking restlessly up and
down the platform
At the farther end q man was stand
ing talking to a lady in carriage,
whose dress only was visible.
AS he regarded him more attentive
ly he sprang forward.
"Why, Cousin John, is that really
you?" -
The sober face of the man addressed
frightened into q smile as he turned
round.
"How do you do, Cousin WHIP" he
responded, with hearty shake Of the
hand. II didn't know you lived at
Sterling?"
II don't. My wife's people live here;
and she's here on visit. thought
you lived in Boston?
"SoI do," replied Mr.. John Brown,
his countenance SOLDERING as he recol-
lected the errand that brought him
there. ';But the oldest, most unfor-
tunate timing has happened: We've
lost our baby. My wife lost it on the
train yesterday--"
Here the lady in the carriage, who
had a blue bundle in her arms, thrust
her head forward.
just then Mrs. Brown made her ap-
pearance on the. platform, she also
having a blue bundle.
| There was a. simultaneous recOg-
milton. The two mothers rushed to-
ward each other, and in the twinkling
OF aD eye the blue bundles changed
hands.
This was followed by an outburst OF
Joy, calculations, and endearments
from both parties, and which was
finally broken upon by the two cousins,
who joining in a laugh or mingled re-
lief and merriment at the turn affairs
had taken, now stepped. forward to
introduce their respective wives.
The result was that Mr.. and Mrs.
John Brown went home with their
newly discovered cousins, where they
spent the day, and which was none
the less happy because of the fright
and trouble from which it so curious
ly sprang.
All parties appeared to- be we'll sat-
| isfied, with the exception Of Bob, who,
turning up his nose, inquired what all
| the fuss was about?-and if one baby
wasn't as good as Notwithstanding,
that for his part he could never see
! any difference in them.
Upon which the indignant mothers
joined in the mutual declaration that
if Bob was once married, and was so
fortunate as to own q real live baby
| (which he didn't deserve by no man
ner OF means), he would be able to see
the difference.
An opinion to which many lady
readers will give hearty concurrence.

Another Story About Ferdinand
Ward.s

A wealthy resident of some pros
porous New England city called on
Ward one day with q note of intro
duction from a amutual friend. In the
course of conversation he remarked
that he had some money to invest,
and asked Ward if he couldn't tell
him OF some chance to put it where it
would bring him good margin OF
profit.
Ward said he really didn't know Of
anything just then. He himself had
more money than he knew what to dc
with, and besides he was too busy
with some big scheme of his own to
60 into any outside speculation. OF
course this only whetted the New Eng
land mans appetite for Investment,
and in the course of half an hour he
induced the famous tinancier to accept
his check for $4,000 to be used
in one of the "blind pools" Of which
Grant & Ward made a speciality.
Three br four months later the New
England man appeared again. BY that
time Ward had entirely forgotten him
and his check, and it was with great
difficulty that he coald recall his name
and the amount OF his investment.
II believe there's something due you" "
he said, after brief conversation.
Taking down a large ledger he made
some brief calculations, and then OBJ
served with a. pleasant smile, 1.-The
amount credited to you on our books
is S1O2, 764." Then to the bookkeep-
er: "Mr. Jones, will you kindly draw a
check to Mr.. Herkins's s order for $1O2,-
764?"
Ward calmly turned to his work
again, while his visitor sat gasping for
breath. In the Language of the day the
visitor was ''paralized." 1t was some
time before he could control himself
sufficiently to ask if there wasn't any
chance for him to reinvest his money
and double it again; but Ward didn't
seem anxious, and at last the stranger
took his departure, got his check certi-
fed at the Marine Bank, and returned
to his native town. Three days after
he walked into Wards Office in COM
pany with four of the wealthiest ofhis
tOwnsmen. He had his certified check
the same one Ward had given him
in his pocket, and his friends were sup
piled with checks of their own. They
succeeded In inducing the financier to
accept about $3.50, 900 for investment
in another blind pool" That was
exactly one week before the failure of
Grant & Ward. b ..5

Three Million Fire IN London.

A fire broke out on the 9th inst. in the
Charter house buildings, row of thirteen
eight-story warehouses, on Aldergate
such rapidity that in a few hours the whole
OF the buildings, including the contents,
were almost totally destroyed. The origin
OF the fire is unknown. The row was mostly
occupied by fancy goods dealers, furriers,
toy stores and printing Offices. One bank
WAS also in the building This institution
was the only one that escaped being burned
completely out, 1t was h&dIy damaged but
not destroyed. The tiremen had great diff
ticulty in getting the streams from the en-
gines to play upon the upper stories OF the
buildings. Many narrow escapes were re-
corded, owing to the desperate attempts OF
the firemen to get at the flames. The dam
age is estimated at 100000.
