was delivered In the orators happiest

II am now to consider the eon'ys thing
which, listening eagerly. I have heard,
and that was the pafpitatfon OF the
sensitive and pure heartof my evan
gelical friend, Mr.. fJudscn, as he
Thought of the evil influence upon the
human mind of putting money,
hazard upon the Heethess Of horses. Z
regret that have not ut hand to give
to the learned counsel an outburst which
I think II possible more lurid, more
vivid, more elcctrlfytng than the lan-
guage of his brief, and which came
the other Sunday from Rev. Mr.. Tal-
mage, In the City of Churches and
pools. He alluded to gambling "as
the haggard transaresston caused by y
garland of crime which had come
staggering down the ages" How does
that sound to you, MIR. EXaminer9
Don't you think yourself that it is fully
up to the description which came from
the secular pulpit that my friend occtI-
pied short time ago? IL 1t not rather
absurd that, addressing tribunal Of
some experience in. the affairs OF men,
a tribunal taking judicial notice OF the
age in which we live, a serious attempt
should be made to discredit witness
because he hazards money on the runs
ming of horses
"The learned counsel says 'gan,b!cf'
Well, may say, In order to propiti-
ate my friend and ingrauate mysei!
with him, which am very anxiuus
to do, that never myself put a far
thing upon any horse race. and, unfor-
tunately, do not know how to gam-
BILE; that, probably, is the reason ! do
not do it. But I cannot fail to remem.
ber that many, many men have lived
and died, whose honor nobody in
their time cared to impugn and whose
amu.emont, perhaps whose master
vice, was 10 gamble. Charles James
Fox was as great gambler as there
was in England, and he was better
loved than any man in Britain. do
not believe that In all tho House OF
Commons, on division night or any
other night, or at any Of the hustinss
from Cornwall to Northumberland,
there was ever any man impudent and
impertisent enough TO impugn his
veracity, upon his oath or otherwise,
because he played games of hazard for
money"

The Greatest Statue in tho World.

AT Bamian, on the principal road
between Cabul and Balkb, Afghanistan
there are said to be two mammoth
statues, ono of which measures 173
feet. This statue is OF Buddha, aud
stands in a niche which has been cut
out 80 as to leave the figure formed OF
rock within the niche. II the meas
urement of the statue is correct, then
Liberty Enlighteniug the World can
no longer claim to be the largest statue
in tho world.
Liberty is only l5l feel high, excln.
sive Of her pedestal, and IL is now only
q question as to whether the height OF
the Bamian statue has been correctly
given. The measurement OF the statue
was made by Captain the Honorable
M. q. Talbot, B. E, IA member Of the
British Boundary Com is5ion, who Is
said to have used thcodo!iie, and
thereby insured the accuracy OF his
calculations,
The existence 0 the great statues OF
Bam;an has been long known TO In
dian archeoiogisls, but correct draw
| inc5 of them, or reliable mpa 5urements
have never been brought home IN
now.
| Bamiun is on the road between
Cabul apd Balkh, where II crosses the
Paropamisus range. Tho situation is
high, being somewhere about 800 feet
above the rea. The rock Is cougiome-
rate, or pudding stone, of which there
is a high cliff In tho valley. In ,his,..at
an early period, probably during the
first centuries of the Christian era,

HENRY GEORGIA PIRATE.
The Leader of II Band Who Proposed
to Seize u Steamer, PlllaSe Her
and Sail for Mexico.

rsroH, the San Francisco Chronicle.
There have been all kinds of men
put up for public Office in this country.
We have had candidates who have
robbed their parents, swindled their
brothers and sisters, stolen everything
from sheep TO coin, murdered their
grandmothers, been guilty Of the most
diabolical deeds, and many OF them
have succeeded in getting elected. One
kind of man who has been missed
from the record has turned up in New
York as II candidate FOR mayor. Hem
ry George has been pirate, not a
comic opera or stage pirate, but q
genuine, bold, bloody, black flag pir-
ate. It is true. 1t has at last been
disclosed that Georges ideas in ''Prog-
ress and Poverty" began long ago to
germinate, and but for the existence OF
the law they would perhaps have sue
ceeded. Somewhere in the COS Henry
George, tho red-headed, came very
ner being red handed. 1t has been
| forgotten, but the fierce light that beats
upon a candidate has blackened a little
blot on Henry's history, and examina.
| ton proves it TO have been pure and
unadul,erated piracy. A little scheme
| was made up and a band OF men was
secretly being recruited for the purpose
of seizing the Panama steamer outside
somewhere, piliagtng her, and with
the swag sailing for Mexico. A boat
was even secured, on which tho prepa-
rations for the expedition were being
made in quiet way. Henry George
was to be the captain OF the bold bucs
cancers, and he had of course to wear
a sword. Curious accounts were given
of the serio-comic scenes in newspa-
per Office, wherein they had a great
time indoctrinating Henry George into
the use of the pirates arms and the
professional swagger of the pirates
legs. In addition to the pistol, the
belt, the cutlass and the usual appur-
tenances of a pirate, 1t was necessary
for the commander of this expedition
to wear a sword, and Henry was made
to walk up and down, put his hand to
his mouth and give orders, and TO do
all this without getting his sword bet
ween his legs, which he Invariably
did. Before he got easy in his pirates
manual the police tumbled in on the
conspirators and put II summary stop
to their dreams of being bold and free
| rulers of the bounding sea, or even
grabbing enough to have an good time
in Mexico. This reads like joke. 1t
was not. 1t was true; aud somewhere
in the annals of the city 1t will be found
recorded. A man 80 intensely devoted
to liberty ought to be elected Mayor OF
New York. He will not need tC
search the bounding main, and the
Mayor of Now York doesn't wear 8
sword or need speakipg.trumpet
These are hopeful times for liberty
Now an eXpirate has reached the dig.
nifty Of labor candidate, the meauest
sinner Of the party may take heart
and go for an Office.

FOOD OF GREAT MEN.
What Charlcmagne and Others Eat to
Preserve Mental Vigor.

The meals Of Charlemagne consisted
never of more than four courses, and
his favorite dishes were eggs and roast
meats, particularly venson, which was
served on long spits by his foresters.
Luther, says the Pail Mall Gazette.

other beverages. AS young man.
Melancthon was very fond OF barley
soup, and me would often exchange a
diet OF meat for bowl of barley soup.
Sual! fish, vegetables and all kinds OF
farinact Gus food he liked, bit large fish
aud meat he disliked, and he hated all
public tueals and drinking bouts. Tor
quato TassO was very fond of preserved
fruits and al! kinds of fancy sweets.
Henry ". was often i'll from eating
too many oysters or melons. His. fac
vorite drink was vim d'Arbois. Peter
the Great liked nothing better than
Limburg cheese. Charles XII, King
of Sweden, preferred piece of bread
and butter to anything else. Voltaire,
like Frederick the Great and Napoleon
l., was very fond Of coffee. His favorite
| food was oat cakes, but he preferred
| oranges to any other kind Of food. The
! Dutch lady scholar, A. NJ. Schurmann,
ate spiders as delicacy. Leasing pre-
ferred lentils, and Kiopstock, who was
a reat gourmand, fed on salmon, mush'
rooms, pastry and smoked meat. O
vegetables he liked peas best and grape:
as dessert, together with bottle o
good claret or hook.
Kant retained till his old age pre-
ference for pork, all kinds Of pulse
and stewed fruit. He devoted thre'
hours day to his dinner. Schille
was IN his youthful days very fond o
ham. An old note book belonging t.
