VLglnia's Greatest Orator.

John w. Daniel, of Virginia. made
his first speech in the hou.e Yesterday.
He is the man whom the Virginians
consider their greatest orator, and
they expect great things from him
when no takes his place in the United
States senate as Mahone's
As for his speech yesterday, l was
rather disappointed in it, and l think
il is much of a question as to whether
Mr.. Daniel will YER be a great con-
gressional debater. He makes a very
flowery speech, and delivers it like an
actor. He looks very much like John
Wilkes Booth, and his face is n classic
one. He is straight and tall when he
speaks, and. though he hobbies about
the house on crutches, the moment he
rises to address the chair his lamaness
seems to leave him. His voice is clear.
resonant. and pleasing. His accent is
southern. He calls to ''toe," and
speaks the word court as though it
were pronourc ed like coat He
says 'fo" for for. and has the other
usual dialecti ms of the south. He
used some striking comparisons, which
makes me think that he may perhaps
turn out better than is anticipated. as,
tor instance: You might as well put
a mustard plaster IN u Dald head for
heart disease As to apply legi lation
for tho cure Of labor troubles" John
w. Daniel is forty three years old. He
was u confederate solcier during the

The Reed Sea.

ID. N. Richardson in Davenport Dem.
ocrat: Just why this present sea is
labelled ''red" remains an open ques-
ton. The Blue sea is blue, the Yellow
sea is yellow with alluvial mud; the
Adriatic comes from "Adria," mean
ing "black;" the Black sea got its
name. not from its color, but from the
deep dark forests that in very early
times surrounded it; the Marmora sea
from its marble-and so on these
names of seas have cogent meaning
all but tho Red sea. A German deliver
in Egyptian lore declares the name
misspelied-that it should be Reed sea
by reason of the vast reedy swamps
that once occupied most OF the space
between the head Of this sea and the
Mediterranean. But going on to show
from this that it was through these
reeds, and not through the watery
depths of the real sea that Moses led
his people forth from Egypt, the
orthodox brethren, who would sooner
lose an eye than have to drop a mir
scle, denounce the theory as q
skeptic fraud. However, Red sea.
which it certainly is not, or Reed sea,
which it may not be. is a most dismal
bit of water. So long as you see land,
the land is bitter-desolate. The is
lands Of Babelmandeb straits, the
rocky shores along the entire lengt
bear nothing green. No hardy patch
OF moss or w~ire-grass; no sterile leaf,
no tender root or branch has footing
on these coasts. Flora is dead; the
rocks are black with everlasting heat;
the blasting simoons breath enwraps
these lands in blesr perennial death.
And not alone the shores, but on
your right beyond the Arabian noun
tain chain and on your left across the
l. ybean are great arid spaces that per-
nit no breath of floral life. And yet
within that strip of emerald setting, a
Ii tie distance of, that's watered by
the Nile, you find tho latest farming
| soil the world has ever seen. So do
the extreme of things nestle so closely
together-even heaven and hell are
parted by a narrow gulf. across which
saint and sinner may hold speech.
