the country doing all sorts OF mis-
deeds and then playing OF" insane.
Such alleged cranks should be rend-
cred harmless and put where society
is not apt to be the sufferer by their
eccentricities. 1t says: "In the
case under consideration all the cir
cumstances tend to show that it was
3 deliberate murder; not an act
committed upon the impulse of the
moment, nor done in self-defense-
for the victim, at the time, was in
the company of his wife and children
and was shot down without even a
moments warning-it was the deed
following a threat, and the murderer
should not be protected against the
extreme penalty of the law by the
assumption of insanity, lachrymose
or otherwise" Oar contemporary,
adds the Savannah Times, is emil
nently correct. In all cases of this
sort whether the alleged insanity is
assumed or caused by the voluntary
act of drinking intoxicating liquors,
Governor Wise's remark about old
John Brown applies with great pro-
priety-"That sort of crszy man

The gradual emancipation NhIe"
was Impossible III TINS country, Is
soon to be realized in Brazil. I'm
der the new law the slaves of the
empire are to be valued at amounts
from $500 to 5000 for males, and at
a reduction of % per cent. for fe-
males, according to age, with annu-
al reductions so calculated that the
valuations will become zero at the
end of Is years. To pay the slave
holders, provision is made out of the
imperial treasury by levying tax
on all revenues but the import du-
ties. While the term of l3 years is
fixed for this operation, it is believ-
ed that, what with the depreciation
of slave values, deaths, freeing of
the 6O-year-old slaves-under the
previous law-and private acts of
emancipation, slavery will be virtu-
ally extinct in Brazil in about nine
wears hence

The problem of steering a balloon
has at length been solved. Two
French aeronauts, NM. Renaud and
Krebs, assembled from Paris recent
ly in the presence of the minister of
war and a large concourse of people.
They guided balloon toward indi-
Gated landmarks, made head against
the wind, and, after these evolutions,
returned to the place whence they
started. We are not told whether
any special conditions of air attend
ded the trial; but if aerial travel
can be organized and the balloon
guided, it ushers in great probable
tiles. New countries can be explor-
ed from above, many now impossible
tracts surveyed, and possibly even
the north pole itself investigated.

pie, and comes to realize what they be-
lieve, and he knows what opinions and
arguments will produce effect, and what
considerations are valueless. In that re-
spect the stump-speaker has an immense
advantage over the writer in the closet
or the editor Of a newspaper. Now, the
newspaper men will please pardon me
for saying that, while for every three
years and nine months in the quadren~
NAL they appear to rule, during the
three months preceding a presidential
election, when the men who take part
in public affairs present themselves be-
fore the people and present the issues
and arguments on one side and the other
the press, omnipotent as it is, bows its elf
to the men who canvass the country,
and merely reproduce the opinions and
arguments which the stump orators set
forth.
1t is difficult to state what the art Of
| oratory is. Great men, from Quintil-
liam all along, have endeavored to ex-
plain what it is, but it is still a mystery.
But we know that there are some men,
under some circumstances, who, 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
world, will have power.

OratOrY,

oIaloIy
Ex-Secretary Boutwell,
| see in some newspapers that the art
of stump-speaking is numbered nearly
among the lost arts; that there were great
times when Webster or Clay spoke, and
also that oratory is no longer subject
about which young person should take
thought. If any of you suppose that l
have not been serious, must now be
considered in such mood. wish to say
that the art of stump-speaking is not a
lost art, it is not valueless 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 those great assemblies,
when you look into the faces of men and
women and lay down your propositions
and proceed 10 make arrangements, you
get, by some mysterious process, an i'm
