Mr.. Edmunds has carried his point after a
hard struggle. He has induced the Senate to
adopt all the resolutions reported by the judic-
larry committee, and without amendment.
There was q very close call on the resolution
threatening the non-confrmaton of future
nominations, but IL was passed by a majority
of one. Mr.. Edmunds' sudden anxiety to force
q vote Is now explained. Had he allowed the
debate to continue till the new Senator from CAL
ifornia reached Washington, this crucial test
would have failed, for the Senate would have
been tied.

Quippus.

Have you every noticed an absent
minded person make knot in his
handkerchief, or tie bit of thread on
his finger. to remind him of something's
The great and highly civilized nation of
Peru, ruled by the Yncas, and often
called the Ynca Indians, was found to
use knots tied in wooden strings rs
memorizers. The only books in the
royal libraries and treasures of the
Yncas were ilimsy pieces of worsted-
work! The wooden strings. made from
the fleeces of llamas and alpacas, were
dyed with different colors, and the
knots were of several different kinds,
so that the system was not easy to use,
and special chiefs or historians were
employed to make and read them. IL
was their duty TO commit To memory the
facts and figures to which the knots and
the colors referred. Men were chosen
who had great memories naturally, and
constant practice made them marvcls of
cXactness. A simple glance ut such
strings would enable them to rattle of
long accounts of taxes paid and taxes
due, of tribute from conquered tribes
given and still to come, of embassies
Ii ON other nations and of wars made
and treaties concluded. Although used
chiefly in affairs of taxes, we can hard
ly doubt that now and then great
pieces of news, like IN earthquake, or
an invasion of pirates, or the death of
IN Ynca, or the arrival of white men
wearing boards and impcnctrablc
clothes made of dark metal, would be
tied into these curious memorials. They
were called qaippns, and il is said that
they are still in Use among tribes of the
Andes Mountains. The old qnippns OF
the Yncas have not all been lost; but
fear that no Indian now lives, who can
explain just what the knots and colors
mean. Henry Eckjord, IN 81. Nicholas

A Beautiful Blow.

'-Onc day in 1867" says Mr.. Ed John.
son of the Boston Ideals, 81 was standing
in front of the old Logan house ut Al.
toona, Pa, admiring a superb-lookina
man who was pacing up and down the
walk, meditating, presumably, as the
rest of us were, on the length of min.

train. Presently a big, broad-shouldcr
ed molder. who seemed to recognize tho
superb gentleman. shambled up neal
him and muttercd something which
was evidently intended to offend him
The superb gentleman, however, paid
no more attention TO it than to lool
rather sharply ut the mOlder and pass
on. Soon the moldcr repeated the per
formance, with about the same result
and the lookcrs-on began to wonder
what it all meant. BY and by thu
moldcr, evidently installing the superb
gcntleman's Indifference to him fol
cowardcc, stopped squarely before hin
and said something which would no
look well in print about the ID
yankee general.
81 never saw handsomer blow il
my life. 1t landed squarcly on the jaw
of the molder and seemed to raise hin
neatly and gracefully into the air ant
then stretch him tidily at full length OF
the platform several feet away. Thu

to comparative luxury, monopolies
be crushed, and the great laws of equal

that the dissatisfaction among the sons

Bismarck as an Orator.

The German ChancellOr's recent utter
ancaS in tho -p,",sSian Housn Of Deputies
among the most important he has
made in recent ycars-havc callcd forth
in the German press numerous estimates
of his power as an orator. The Ham
burger Correspondent especially has
seized the occasion for thoughtful
study of Prince Bismarck's rhetorical
style. AS a speaker, we are told, Prince
Bismarck is happiest when he speaks
unprcpared. 1t is worse when, rs he
speaks. he rummages among diplomatic
papers, though he cannot be less tedious
when he reads documents. He knows,
however, when to break the tedium by
biting Interpolation, and in the driest
style of document to introduce refresh
ing arabesque of his own. Bismarck s
voice is not yet flexible, comprising no
great scale of tone; it does not sound
exactly like wood, but at the same time
the tone is not that of well-sounding
metal. His mode of expression is radi-
cally different from that of the ordinary
parliamentary speaker. According with
with his realistic politics--working with
fixed aims and practical means-he
chooses words which appeal direct to
the mind, and where ten other speakers
would elect to deal with the abstract he
makes use of words which picture some
thing to the minds eye, Thence comes
his liking for word-picturcs and telling
comparisons. His deliverance suffers
from the indistinctness of his voice.
This is, perhaps, not the proper way of
putting it; he articulates very sharply,
but he speaks unevcnly-now loud, now
low. He at times forgets that in the
Reichstag he speaks to n large assembly
and in room of bad acoustic properties.
Often enough he speaks as if for himself
alone, quite careless rs to whether any
one save the minister sitting at the right
of him or the stenographer listening in
tcntly to the left understands syllable
of what he says. The stcnographers re-
gard Bismarck as technically the hard
est speaker they have to des1 with, and
that not only on account of his swiftncss.
He is, in fact, often exceeded in the
swifincss with which he speaks. His
average speed is $50 syllables in a
minute, willie 800 and $50 are not the
highest number attained in Reichstag.
