How the Famous Statesman Delivers Paril
AlnentatY Speeches.

How the Fah0us Statesman Delivers PAril- |
Alnentary Speeches.
1.-The great Bow-wow," as bismarck
Is irreversntly called in German parli-
amentary circles, only shows himself in
the Keichstag when he has something
important to say. Then he enters the
House Immediately before his time for
speaking comes round, and leaves it as
soon as he has said what he wishes to
say. Though the Chancellor tried to
keep his intention to speak close Sc
cret, the facts leak out, and the crowd
ed assembly hall shows that neither
Reichstag NOR Berlin has been taken
uHawares.
Those who attend know that the
Chancellor is not far away when they
see his wellaknowh portfolio and great
lead-pencil deposited upon the front
ministerial bench. On entering the
hall, Bismarck gaas at once to Ills
place, opens the portfolio, takes from It
sheets Of notes and d bundle of news
papers and cuttings, aFrangss them
with care, and then chats with his col
leagues.
Bismarck is no orator, and despises
orat6ry. '''Ths gift u eloquehce," he
once said, ''has done much mischief in
parliamentary life. Oratory is a waste
of time; let us restrict ourselves to
statements III facts"
His voice is not musical; and at times
Is SO weak as to make it difficult for the
reporters 20 follow him. He adopts q
sefhl'e6nversational style, begins slowly
and monotonously, and, with the ex-
ception OF casual breaks, proceeds and
ends as he begins. As the Chancellors
tbhgue can not keep pace with his
thoughts, he now and then breaks of
I'm tfis.Riddle Of q sentence, and takes
up new thought, leaving bis hesrors
to make the best they can Of his hslA
finished sentences.
The Chancellor never declaims, never
flatters. nor equivocates His ofiicia'
, position causes the Eeichslag TO treas
ufe up his utterances, but he does mo-
lisdain to aid them by apt quotations
foreible SMILES and witty illusions.
Though he once lectured the Prussiar
Parliament on the uselessness Of yer
busity, the Chancellor usually speaks
one hoiirg and has exceeded even two
hours. He speaks extempore, though
I the heads Of his speech and the news

The Proper Way of Cleaning Carpets ant
washing Wallpaper.


The Proper way of Cleaning Carpets and
washing Wallpaper.
Beyond the regular weekly cleaning
certain articles In house, as well as
the dwelling itself, must have a
periodical overhauling on which their
welfare and service depends. The in
tervals at which carpets should be
taken up and thoroughly cleaned and
beaten depends upon their texture and
the frequency with which the apart
ment where they are laid is used. In
ordinary cases it is q good rule to take
up NrOanette. Administer and Wilton
carpets oncein three or four years, and
Brussels and ygf.et once in two or
three. The texture Of these is 50 firm
that the dust does not shift through,
and sweeping will remove all thatac-
cumulates upon the surface. Ingram
and three-ply carpets should be lifted
annually, and II the room is very much
used twice year is not too often. The
housekeeper will even thenbe astonish-
ed to observe the accumulation of dust
beneath.
To many people it does not seem to
occur that carpet can be s0ashcd
They would be astonished to see what
an improvement can be made in this
way. Take gallon of water in which
two ounces of carbonate Of ammonia
have been dissolved, and apply it with
O soft rag to each breadth. II there be
any pronounced soils and satins, grease
spots or other, procure from your
butcher a pint of ox-gall Mix it with
three quarts Of water and apply with a
soft scrubbing brush, taking care to
rinse thoroughly afterwards with pure
water.
A large brush of ostrich feathers
Is, of course, the best thing to use in
brushing down wall paper; but, as most
housekeepers know, these are expen-
sive and likely to be soon destroyed il
entrusted to servants. A soft cloth tied
over broom is a good substitute, and
quite economical. If these do not
remove the smoke or CRIME that accu-
mulate, take a loaf Of stale bread,
divide it into quarters, and after moist
ening the cut surfaces very slightly,
proceed to rub your paper very care
fully, beginning always at the ceiling
and moving your hand downward in
straight lines. The results will BE-
surprising.
All careful housekeepers secure ar
extra roll when having their walls
papered. If by accident your walls
are broken or defaced at any point Gu
piece Of the new paper larger thar
the marred spot, be sure it matches
perfectly, cut the edges irregularly Of
in points, and apply with little Aoul
paste (boiled); the eye will nevel
trace the mended portion. II Their,

Ole Gentleman was Placated.

A friend of mine related to me last
night his experience in reconciling
testy old fellow to the marriage engage
ment of his favorite daughter. My IN
formant being discreet and benevolent
character and intimate with all the per
sons concerned, was persuaded by the
young people to intercede on their be-
half. He undertook the task with no
little hesitation and the reception which
his overtures met was not calculated 10
raise any hopes. He began by repre-
senting to paterfamilias the exceeding
cleverness of his son n-in-law and the bril-
liant future which certainly lies before
him. Tins, however, prodnced not the
least effect and he succeeded no better
when he fell back on the young man
moral qualities and solid worth. AT last
the potential father-in-law exclaimed: !:
"Now you have told me a lot OF stun IN
praise of this fellow who wants to marry
nv daughter-be honest and say what
there is to be said agains him.
Being thus taken in flank, as 1T were,
the family friend ridiculously consci-
entious person, admitted with some hesi-
tation. that the matrimonial aspirant is
rather unpopular, that his manners are
not pleasant, that he is supposed to pe pes
sullen at times, ETC., etc. "Hum, said
the old gentleman, pricking up his ears,
ssHas he many friends9" "No," the go.
between confessed. 81 am afraid not.
"Well." the stern parent declared, un-
bending at last, 81 don't know but what

A MURDERER'S SPEECH.

When John A. Matthews, a "Bald
Knobber," of Ozark, Mo-, was convicted
of murder, he addressed the jury thus:
"Gentlemen of the jury, want to say
a few words to you before you leave.
You have convicted me, and l suppose
you think you have done your duty, but
there is day coming, gentlemen, when
you will know you have convicted an in
nocent man. Yes, thank God, at the day
of Judgment, when we all appear before
the great white throne, you will find out
you have convicted an honest man.
Thank God, no blood will be required at
my hands," By this time Matthews was
sobbing aloud but still trying to speak
whenJudge McGregor ordered him to stop.
Such scene was never before witnessed
in Christian county court, and the
crowd surged around the unhappy pris-
oner trying to geta view of the tragic
spectacle. The wretched man was ut
terly prostrated by the intensity of his
feelings, and continued to weep and talk
to himself.

In few states, says the New York Sun,
the farmers have experimental little
with the white poppy, but we have not
regarded opium as ever likely to cut
much of figure among our products.
Mr.. Pratt, the United States consul at
Teheran, who has been studying opium
culture il Persia, where a very fine ar
ticle is produced, says he believes large
regions in California and the southern
states are well adapted to the cultivation
of the white poppy, aud, in view of the
superior quality of Persian opium, he
details the methods of cultivation in
vogue there as guide for our poppy
raisers. Though the abuse of opium
has made it, in the opinion of many, a
disreputable drug, it serves largo num-
Der of useful purposes, and if we could
raise what we require for legitimate
uses, opium culture would be consid-
cradle addition to our wealth producing
resources.

The House judiciary committee, after
two weeks work upon it, has perfected
the Oates bill, fixing the salaries of
United States judges and ordered its re-
port to the House. The judges in the
South only get an increase of $500.
Director General Joseph, cx-Represen-

colored men, appeared before the House
committee on appropriations to request
an appropriation of 100000 to aid the
national coored exposition to be held in

indicate that the request will be granted.

Chief Justice Waite, of the Supreme

A heavy storm, accompanied by thun-
der and lightning, broke over the city,
which flooded the streets and interrupted
all overhead telegraph and telephone
wires but two, connecting the capitol
building with the rest of the city. The
lightning either struck the capitol build
ing, or was carried into it on the many
wires which enter it, because the occu-
pants of all parts of the building were
startled out of their usual serenity and
treated to a rather exciting electrical
display. 1t brought every judge of the
Supreme Court, every lawyer at the bar,
and every clerk at his desk to his feet
with a sudden jerk, as if they were all
moved by some spring. Then they all
sat down again and tried to look as if
nothing had happened.
