GRANTS GRANDFATHER



From me 9hil1delDAia Ne,es.
"The other day As was searching among
some old chronicles Of the Society OF
Friends" saws Philadelphian, 81 found
an interesting account of AN ancient
worthy as the Quakers say in their
quaint speech. John simpson, farmer
and preacher, man Of sterling worth
aud well esteemed, died about 1871, after
a long life of struggle to support his
family, pay OIL load Of debt with which
he was burdened, and ~ the same time %
travel at his own expense, for the Quakere
do not pay their ministers, as = mission

linss. lie is represented AS tai ana
slender, keeu-eyed. showing the marEs Of
bis lie Of toll, for he worked on his farm
through seedtime and harvest, but In
winter left affairs 10 The management Of
wife and sons and started at fresh call
OF the spirit on his missionary tours.
And itIneracy century ago was not ac-
cOmplished without hardship and danger.
AT Inst when he mad reached the Limit
of three-scOre and ten. he was so well
pleased with the fertile valley Of the ohio
that he bought large tract OF land and
returned 30 Philadelphia to remove his
family from the Byberry farm to the new
location. But John simpsons enterprise
did not meet with the appreciation Of the
elders OF the church. A letter addressed
10 MIN by Oliver PaNson. OF Bucks county,
shows the cause OF the opposition. He
wrote:
DEAR FRTEND-W hen thou vast concerned
to publish the glad tldings Of the gospel of
peace and salvation to the Inhabitants Of
ONO my heart went with thee. And had
that been thy sole cUurern when thou went

when ! TOOK "a view OF the wife and children

destination. The Jealous missionary JOY
fully seized every opportunity to preaon.
And as soon as he had settled his family
in the new home be was off again.
Years afterward Young Jesse Grant

TERROR OF stENOGRAPHERs
The Rov. Phillips Brooks, Of Boston,
ParsIyzes the British Reporters.

from the PHOnf'te IOurlt4E.
The swiltest Of English shorthand writ
ers, MIR. Thomas Allen Reed, thus de.
scribes his attempts to report the sermons
Of the Rev. Phillips Brooks, now preach
ing in England: Il have never, in long
and varied experience, listened TO pub
lie orator, whether in the pulpit, or on the
platform, or even in law court. where
perhaps the fastest speaking is heard, who
kept up such continuous uninterrupted
flow Of rapid articulation. However
large the building the speed Of deliveryis
the same Even the opening sentences.
which many habitually rapid speakers
will utter quite deliberately, are jerked
out with the most provoking glib
ness. and the reporter no sooner
puts pen to paper than be finds himself
dashing forward helter-skeltCr. his
energies taxed TO the utmost to get up and
mBintaln the necessary speed. He is ca
gerly expecting the end of the first SEN
tence, where he naturally anticipates
pause. Vain expectation The tull stop
IS grammatical expression: il mas no
reality for the speaker or the writer. One
sentence ended the next begins, and, like
the Dutchmans cork leg, the sermon
''goes on the same as beiere."
Having recently had occasion to report
MT DTOOhs, L nave Hdu iu6 curiosity 10
note his exact speed. The sermons were
accurately timed by two watches in each
case, and the words, as they appeared in
the printed report in the Christian World
Pulpit, were carefully counted. One ser
mon, preached at Ca.erham, lasted thirty
i've minutes, aud the average rate of speed
came out at 1874 words per minute. But
in a sermon preached in Westminster Alb
hey Mr.. Brooks exceeded even
the rate OF the Caterham ser
mon. Notwithstanding the size OF
the abbey, and the effort needed to artieu-
late with sufficient distinctness TO be
heard, the sermon, which lasted thirty
minutes, came out 2l3 words per minute.
l repeat, then, If any aspiring young
shorthand writer wishes to meet fOeman
worthy of his steel Cor any other pen or
pencil, let him take an opportunity OF at
lacking the Rev. Phillips Brooks, OF Bos-
ton, and the chances are that at the
close OF the encounter he will find the
taking Of Turkish bath suDeriluous OPP
GRAFTON. Fortunately for the shorthand
fraternity on this side OF the Atlantic, Mr..
Brooks does not often visit these shores.
II he did, | am afraid that, instead of be-
ing cordially welcomed, he would be re-
ceived, at least by the knights of the pen,
with the greeting OF theQuaker In Uncle
Toms Cabin" "Frienl, Jhee isn't wanted

the animal, and that the disease was
necessarily fatal. Now it seemed to me
! that the disease need not be So ana SO
after ithey Had given up Another
horse, which was AIKEN SICK tie next
/ day. began 10 work upon him, giving
| him chlOrOtOrm on sponge 10
quiet his spasms, and then seeking 70
cause his bowels to move. tired, but
without avail; had begun too late. After
his death found thai one Of the smaller
ntestines had become TIED in knot and
wouldn't move. The next horse that was
taken sick | began at once upon him with
chlOrOform, and when he was quiet l sue
ceeded in moving his bowels. Then ne
recovered almost i'm mediately. Thus 1t
went. and horse after horse, until seven
had been numbered, was taken with the
disease, and neing treated with chloro-
form recovered.
Last Saturday night two horses were
brought In here from Beleville, and Oneot
them WAS put in the stall that had been
occupied by the cab horse that died. es-
terday when the horse had been hitched
up and was about to be driven out, he
was taken with the spasms and recovered
under the treatment | have mentioned.
Determined TO learn more Of the disease
took my private mare, an animal that
was perfectly well and had not been sick
tor eighteen years, and put her In the
same stall. In less than - minutes she
was taken with hit and exhibited all the
symptoms Of the horse taken in the after
noon. I treated her as / did the others.
This settled the matter IN my mind, and
was lead TO these conclusions. a horse
is taken with the disease while feeding
and the symptoms are those of too not
weather and Indigestion. The malady
cannot, however, be traced 10 these. for
II is contagious that it is contagious
there is no longer any doubt in my mind.
1t cannot, however, be spinal meningitis,
for the spine is no more affected than il is
iu everything which suffers the rigors Of
spasm. The question is, what 10 it? The
remedy is chiOr0fOrm, applied immedl-
ataly, and a forced action of the bowels
Immediately Mr. Tracy mentioned sew
cral other stables in which the disease had
appeared but said all we're ignorant o. its
true nature.
