Bismarck on Eloqueuce.
Detroit Free Press.

Bismarck is no orator. His speech
is simple and plain. He thinks that the
gift of eloquence has done great deal
of mischief III Parliamentary life. It
tries, by appealing to the feelings, to
settle questions which should be set
tied by common sense.
When the Federal Council began its
work, few of the members made elo-
quent speeches. Gentlemen, said
Bismarck, "there is nothing to be
achieved here by eloquence, because,
every one of you brings his convictions
along with him in his pocket; that is,
his instructions. Oratory is only q
waste Of time. Let us limit ourselves to
statements of fact" After that hint.
no one made long, much less an elo-
quent speech.
Herr Lasker, whose death in this
country was the occasion of little UNI
pleasantness, once delivered an eloquent
speech in the Reicshtag. "These elo-
quent gentlemen" said Bismarck, COM
menting upon the speech, "are like a
good many ladies with small feet, who
always wear shoes too small for
them, and stick out their feet to be

Bad Men, but Good Poets.

A singular fact about hymnology is
that many excellent hymns have been
waitten by men who were either not
religious at all or whose claims to
religion rested on very slight founda-
TONS Addison was never celebrated
for the depth of his poety, but two Of
the best hymns in the language are
accredited to him. "The Spacious
Firmament on High" and "When All
Thy Mercies, Oh My God" Moore
was not quite as noted for the depth
of his religious feeling as was Addison,
but the finest lyric ofreligious character
to be found in English or any other
tongue, "Come Ye Disconsolate, was
from his pen, and has given more
comfort to thousands than perhaps it
ever did to its anthor. The celebrated
hymn, "Come Thou Fount of Every
Blessing" was written by an irreligious
man, while Pope's "Vital Spark of
Heavenly Flame" was a translation
from pagan poem said to have been
written by the Emperor Hadrian. All
these were good, not because their
authors were bad men, but because they
were good poets, and besides, had an
occasional fash of genuine religious
devotion which expressed itself in song
with pure sentiment and good taste

Washington Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Where are the men who came here
with Lincoln flying through Baltimore
by night? General Sumner paid the
debt of nature in the war. Captain
Pope, another one of the party, is now
a brigadier general. If we go back one
more term in Inauguration talk we shall
see Buchanan, twenty eight years ago,
riding up Pennsylvania avenue by the
side of President Pierce, and John A.
Quitman, who had been fighting to an
mex Cuba for the sake Of its slaves, was
at the head of the procession, and Chief
Justice fancy, incubating the bred

A Wicked Boy.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
They say that the chief astronomer
at the Washington observatory was
dreadfully sold short time since. A
wicked boy, whose Sunday school
experience seems to only have made
him more depraved, caught a fire fly
and stuck it, with the aid of some
mucilage, in the center of the largest
lens Of the telescope. That night when
ed a blaze Of light apparently in the
heavens, and what amazed him the
more was that it would give couple
of spurts and then die out. only to burst
forth again in second or two. He
examined it carefully for few minutes
and then began to do sums to find out
where in the heavens that extraordinary
star was placed. He thought he found
the locality, and next morning he
telegraphed all over the universe that
he had discovered new and remark
able star of the third magnitude in
Orion. In a day or two all the as
tronomers of Europe and America we're
studying Orion; they gazed at it for
hours until they were mad, and then
they began to telegraph to the man in
Washington to know what he meant.
The discoverer took another look and
found that the new star had moved
eighteen billion miles in twenty four
hours, and upon examining it closely
he was alarmed to perceive that it had
legs. When he went on the dome next
morning to polish up the glass he
found the lightning bug. And they say
he went into it with whole-souled sin
cerlty and vigorous energy. The bill
for telegraphing dispatches amounted
to $4,000, and now the astronomer
wants to find that boy. He wishes to
consult with him about something.

The Decay of Will Power.

Strong wills are becoming as rare as
healthy physical organizations. The
world is s'fussy," but only because
humanity is working itself too much.
Brain tissue has increased; but healthy,
vigorous thought has diminished. All
fectations have become realities, and
realities affectations A toothacho
converts us into invalids, where our
ancestors laughed at the govt. We
have beaten the goldleaf so thin that
it has lost it's own color, and shines
out with a CHASTITY green light. Senti-
ment has carried us past common
sense; we have had such terror Of
the flesh that we have cultivated brain
at the expense of motive tissue, and.
have produced giants skull that is
too heavy for the dwarf legs to bear.
Emotions have been refined, but not
improved; brain has increased, but
strong, vigorous action has diminish
ed. Education has become diffused,
but what the many have gained the
select few have lost; and though there
are an abundance of readers, the race
of prophets have died out. Suicide
has increased because will and healthy
thoughts have diminished. 1t is a
disease born of modern affectations,
of the disappearance of that self-con-
troll and self-respect that are bette1
than carloads of mock sentiment and
morbid melancholy. Aside from the
irresponsibility of insanity, an unsuc-
cessful self-murderer needs large
dose of iron and a large dose of the
whip; and to crush out all future at
tempts needs strong dose of the
treadmill. In certain sense nature
uses suicide to rid the world OF fools;
but it is, nevertheless, blot upon
civilization, and warning that there
is limit to all things, even to human
progress. Humanity has made a rapid
journey towards perfection; but the
point has been now reached when
rest and relaxation becomes a neces.
sity. We have conquered worlds; let
us now return for awhile to the old
Greek proyerb, and try to conquer
ourselves.-.B0st0n Gazette.

The Old Mill in Winter.

All the world about the mill has gone
to sleep. 1t is hipernating, like the
bears. The hills have pulled the sheets
of snow up to their chins and over
their heads, and sleep SO soundly that
the restless winds have to do their
snoring for them.
How patiently wait the cedars for
the days Of spring and the sunshine of
June. All the other trees have given
up long ago, and ceased to look for
anything save SHOWS and sleets and
biting frosts and winter rains. How
fearfully they moan and wall when the
winds come sweeping down from the
northwest. They have thrown away
every brown leaf weeks and weeks ago.
They will never wear leaves again,
they know. The ground about their
lrozen feet is hard as flint. The sap

On another occasion, Radowiiz,:
great orator, made a speech il the
North German Parliament, which SO
swayed thes members that they we're
ready to vote as he had urged them, to.
One of Bismarck's colleagues, sitting
near him. vas strongly moved by the
eloquence, and he shed tears.
What areyo crying about?" coolly
arked Bismarck.
"You are heartless," answered the
colleague, Indignantly. The next-day,
when copy Of the printed speech was
placed In Bismarck's hands, he handed
it to the same gentleman, saying
Please point out to me the part of
the speech I ought to have cried over,
yesterday, if I had possessed such
thing as 3. heart"
The gentleman looked it over and then
said. II. do not know how it is, but the
speech does not make the same impress
sion upon me in print. The orators
voice, expression Of face, and his majes-
tic personality had carried the colleague
away.
Bismarck used to tell q humorous
story to illustrate the distracting effect
of eloquence. Frederick William l.,
the despotic king who publicly whipped
his son, subsequently Frederick the
Great. once listened to the. pleadings
of twc,lawyers. After the first one had
finished his speech, the king, moved by
the advocates eloquence, EXCHANGED
This fellow is in the right!" The
second lawyer then spoke, and with
such, effect that the king said, ''This
man has the right of i'll"
Then recalling that he had contradic-
ted himself, he fell into.a furious pas
sion and sent both orators to prison.
