Everett Not a Magnetic Orator.

Edward Everett was not magnetic
orator, who could sway masses with his
imprisoned words and stirring gest-
ures. His sentences, always carefully
constructed and committed to memory,
were uttered with precision, clearness,
and force. His gestures, though some
times too uniform and measured, were
yet expressive and graceful. His tones
were rich and varied, and his language
was chaste, elegant, and, at times.
poetical. His nature was too fastidi-
Gus, his temperament too cold, his SEN
sitiyeness to reproach too keen, his
constitutional reserve too habitual and
repelling, TO succeed in those arenas of
public debate where heavy blows were
given and taken, and where the loud
voice, the rustic manner, the hale-fel-
low sociality and reckless daring had
often more to do with results than the
most exquisite and polished phrases
and a charming voice. In congress he
failed. He failed not only to acquire
the influence due to his superiority as a
scholar and speaker, but he failed also
in the simplest perceptions of states
manship. He shrank from response
bility; he dreaded innovation; he could
not encounter, in a bold, manly way,
the hostile sentiment of a clique or
party. much less of a nation, and he
fell into an almost abject tiniidity and
irresolution, which was hardly disguis-
ed under the name of conservatism. He
did not grapple with the great questions
of the day with any discernment; he
bowed almost obsequiously toward the
past and great traditional names; he
trembled ike one ignorant and super
| stitious before the future. He took
counsel rather Of his apprehensions
than of his conscience. Ben. Perfcy
Poore.

Balloons That Fight Like Drilled Sol
dierS.

The country of the Upper Nile was,
par excellence, the wonderland of the
Roman world, it is still the grandest
outdoor museum of natural curiosities.
Zoologically there is no more density
populated country. All the wild beasts
and birds, made homeless by the dew
astation of North Africa, seem to have
taken refuge in the Nubian highlands.
In the terrace-land of the Nubian and
Abyssinian Alps there roam herds of
elephants, buffalos, wild goats, wild
sheep, and fourteen or fifteen different
species of antelopes. Further below
the hippotamus and white rhinoceros
haunt the river swamps. Professor
Blanford enumerates 290 species of
water birds. With these harmless set
tiers less desirable guests have crowded
in, the spotted hyena, the iackal, the
black and yellow lion, four species of
smaller cats, wild dogs and, above all,
the cynocephalus, the willy and mis-
chieyous baboon. Three varieties of
these Darwinian pets inhabit the rocks
of Southern Nubia the little babuin,
the cynocephalus proper, and the celia
da, or mantle baboon, fierce and pow
erful fellow, whose shaggy name pro-
tects his body like cloak, and enables
him to brave the climate of the upper
highlands. Professors Kupple and
Hotton agree that troop of these
brutes, In ravaging corn-field, will
not only hold their ground against all
corners, but on the slightest provoca-
ton take the offensive in a way not
likely to be forgotten by the unarmed
natives. Dogs have no chance what
ever against full-grown baboon The
old males do not wait to be attacked,
but charge them at once with an ener-
gy and skill and cooperation that
would do credit TO troop of well-drill-
ed soldiers. The hyrax, queer pachy-
derm, allied to the European badger,
coinhabits the rocks with alternating
marmot. and the coast jungles swarm
with wild hogs that multiply undis-
turbed, for the Abyssinian natives
share the pork prejudices of their
Mohammedan neighbors.
The Eastern Caucasus was formerly
similar hunters paradise. but the
hungry Moscovites clean out the forests
at the rate of eight square miles year,
and when the irrepressible conflict be-
tween the bison and the pot-hunter of
the Great West shall have made our
