John Bright in the House Of Commons.

The massive, well set head, the lofty
brow, the white hair, the clear blue eye,
as Saxon in its expression as the lam
guage of the speaker, have Immediately
arrested the attention of all spectators.
Yet, in the House of Commons, the
visitor may have failed to recognize Inn.
mediately the voice and the presence OF
its greatest orator. Slow. low and dis
tinct in his commencement, he has APP
peared to be suffering from nervous
hesitation which those who have never
heard him previously might doubt
whether he would succeed in oyercom-
inc, But in FIVE minutes al apprehen-
siOns on this score have disappeared.

not infrequently below himself; but
when he has spoken at his hest, he has
been at his Dest throughout. His elo-
quence may be compared TO the glow of
Il clear fire steadily burning at Il white
heat. There is nothing titful or spas
modic about It. The solemn and the
sportive are interviewer a naturally as
the serious and comic scenes in one of
Shakespere's masterpieces. Mr.. Bright
has probably coined as many concise
and adhesive phrases as Disraeli HIM
self 1t Is he who invented the words
fancy franchise" who first employed
'.the cave of Adullam" as metaphor for
the refuge of the disaffected. and who
compared the Adullamites themselves
TO the Scotch terrier of which it was
difficult TO say what portion formed
the head and what the tail. His humor
has always been of the quiet, cutting
and sarcastic style. He likened Mr..
Disraeli to 1.-The man who was not q
Cabinet Minister, but only a mounte-
bank, and who set up stall and offere
the cOuntry-peOple pills that were very
good against earthquakes. " He likened
Lord Derbys professions about reform
to ''the sort of feast that Spanish
host sets before his guest, consisting of
a little meat and great deal of table
cloth. The remark of peer. when
Mr.. Bright was once absent from Par
lament through illness, that "Provi-
dence, in punishment of the manner in
which he had abused his talents. had
inflicted upon him a disease of the
BRAIN" elected from him on his return
to the House of Commons the retort;
at may be so. but in any case it will
be some consolation TO the friends and
the family of the noble lord to know
that the disease is one which even
Providence could not infiict upon him."
Nor could anything be better than his
criticism of Sir Charles Abberley. now
Lord Norton, when that gentleman had
made some statement from which Mr..
Bright dissented: 81 hope he thought
he was speaking the truth; but he is
rather dull man and liable to make
plumbers. ~. II. S. EScot, in the
Century.

Teachings OF MuteS.

Let us imagine ourselves in the pri-
mary class at Kendall Green watching
a beginner take his first lesson. The
teacher, a lady-for surely nothing but
aswoman's patience could avail here
calls the boy TO her. and shows him
some familiar obiect-say pen; and
when he recognizes it the first step is
made; they both know what it is, and
he knows they know it. So far, she
has only taught him the object; now
she shows him its printed equivalent,
PEN. Insensibly trained to memory for
shapes. he soon remembers that black
lines shaped In that way mean unat oo-
ject. Now, if the object is not present,
how can he recall it to her? BY SPELL
ing pen on his fingers. So she then
taught him those letters. Next she
teaches him TO write on the black
board; and lastly. TO substitute for the
rude pantomimes they have both neces-
sarily used up 10 this time, the sign for
pen. This is not the work of one les
son, or of one dnv-far from il; we
should be tired looking on long before
our little hero gets as far as spelling on
his fingers. But gradually, after
many ueidYs anu lnnuneTdOle
repetitions, so much is secured.

such limited means, TO present clearly
the difference between past presen: and
future action. One way of doing this is
to teach the pupils to count up to thir-
ty-one-the number of DAYS in a month
and then conduct the action with a
past, present or future date. The pro-
team ''ough" puzzles them. as does also
the use of the same word with different
meanings.

A Peculiar Phase of New York Society
Life.
The fashion of Juggling round 30
many splendid dresses and valuable
Jewels has given rise to new species
of servant-the family detective
There are three detectives now living
in the same hotel, each engaged in the
service of a woman of wealth and show.
One of them / happen to know. He
had good business in New York, but
he tells me that the wages offered him
by his present employer was sufficient
to warrant him in abandoning it for
the summer and looking after her and
her possessions. He receives two
hundred dollars month, and besides
has his expenses paid. He always stays
at the best hotels. for it is necessary that
he should be close to his charge, and
besides he would not permit himself TO
be treated as a mental. He follows her

herself on the piazza and accompanies
her to entertainments. 1t was at the
big ball that stumbled across him, in
all the possible glory of perfect evening
dress. He kept close to his lady, who
was blazing with diamonds, but he
never presumed to speak 10 her. A
fine gem sparkled on his own chest.
His lady had lent it to him, he ex-
planned, to complete his appearance.
After the ball he accompanied his en-
plover to her apartments, and received
into his care the fifty thousand dollars
worth of gems with which she had
been dazzling the company. He
kept the jewels safe by wearing
them in a leather belt round his
waist, and they never leave his body
except to 60 upon the person of his
gracious boss. He goes heavily armed
always, seldom leaves the hotel day or
night except npon journeys, and never
He has so far this summer been in the
White Mountains. at Richfield Springs
and Narragansett Pier. Early in Au-
gust he expects to go to Saratoga, and
from there to Bar Harbor. Altogether
his lot is not an unhappy one. The only
thing that disappoints him is that he
has not had a single adventure with a
thief. He thought at Richfield Springs
that he was indeed to become the hero
of a sensation. He discovered brawnv-
looking young man lounging in dark
corner of piazza just as his lady, I'M
der full sail, was about to come by. At
his appearance the stranger hurriedly
jumped into an open carriage that was
standing by and was driven rapidly
away. He was convinced in his own
mind that there had been.a plot to alb
duct his charge in Italian fashion, and
that only his arrival had saved her He
learned in day or two, however, that
he had been the unconscious means of
frustrating an elopement. and that the
bold young man in the dark had proba-
bly, mistaken him and his lady for the
girls father and mother. I can't inn

the least claim to taste. could steal the
lady, even with all her diamonds, while

DoFFiNG or THE HAT.
How the Custom OF Barring the Head Origi-
rg o. mated.

How the Custom OF Barring the Head Origi-
All Jewish congregations worship
with their heads covered; so do the
Quakers, although st. Paul's injunc-
tons On the matter are clearly con-
demnatory of the practice. The Puri-
tans of the commonwealth would
seem to have kept their hats on,
whether preaching or being preached
to, since Pepys notes hearing simple
clergyman exclaiming against men
wearing their hats in; the church,, and
a year afterward Q662) writes: $50
the French church In the Savoy, and
where they have the common prayer
book, read in French. and which I
never saw before, the minister do
preach with his hat off, / suppose in
further conformity with our church"
William Ill rather scandalized his
church-going subjects by following
Dutch custom, and keeping his head
covered in church. and when it did
please him to doff his ponderous hat
during the service, he invariably
donned it as the preacher mounted the
pulpit stairs. When Bossuet, at the
age of fourteen, treated the gay fell
lows at the Hotel de Rambouillet to a
midnight sermon, Eoltaire sat it out
with his hat on, but, uncovering when
the boy-preacher had finished, bowed
low before him, saying: ''Sir, | never
heard a man preach at once so early
and so late" As token of respect,
uncovering the head is one of the old
est of courteSieS.
Lamenting the decay of respect to
age, Clarendon tells us that in his
young days be never kept his hat on
his head before his elders, except at
dinner. A curious exception, that. to
modern notions of politeness, but it
was the custom TO sit covered at meals
down to the beginning of the eigh-
teenth century. Sir John Emmett.
Deputy Master of the Ceremonies at
the Court of King James l., was much
puzzled as to whether the Prince Of
Wales should sit covered or not ct din
ner in the presence OF the sover-
eign when a foreign Ambassador was
one of the guests, since the latter, az
the representative of King, was not
expected to veil his bonnet. Giving
