TIE COMING ORATOR.

Oratory is one of the rarest gifts
accorded the human race. There are
great warriors, philosophers and
poets in almost every age, but ora.
tors come like angels visits Fifty
years ago the United States ives mad4
brilliant with orators and oratory such
as the worlds history has but SELL
dom duplicated. A nation listened
entranced to Clay, Calhoun, Web
ster, Everett and a half score of 9th.
er grand orators, whose brilliant sen.
fences and thoughts have woven
themselves into the language thought
Of the ages. Then oratory died out
in the ushering in Of an utilitarian
age, severely practical and mechani-
cal and as rich in great and small dis
coveries in practical science it was
poverty stricken in oratory. That
seemed lost art, dead and buried,
and to the brilliant succeeded the com.
monplace, and to the silver tongue of
rhetoric, the platitudes of mediocrlty.
Happily for this much priced gift the
lost art seems about to be restored
in Henry w. Grady, Of Georgia. If
the promises of the present are not
broken the young orator of the south
will yet revive the glories of the days
of Henry Clay. Brilliant in thought
powerful in utterance, of an address
most polished, he has already won
the ear of the masses north and
south in way that true eloquence
alone can master it. AS it has many
times happened before, the great
spokesman of the period comes at the
right moment as mediator between
the old and the new, bridging a chasm
and pointing in new directions. 1t
is perhaps fortunate that so early in
his career he was not elected to the
senate. In another six years he will
have won fame in the outer world
which he could not hope to attain
there, and will in the maturity of his
power enter public life to mould his
tory. The south may well be proud
of her new Clay and cherish him as a
precious gift.

The Philadelphia Record says that
there is possibility that no liquor
licenses will be issued in PENNSYLVANIA
in 1889. If the legislature acts as
promptly upon the prohibition amend.
ment to the constitution at the com.

ton Of prohibition will be decided a,
the polls before the time for the issu.
ing OF liquor licenses next spring, and
consequently if the amendment be
adopted no licenses will be granted.

A suit for damages has been begun
in the Philadelphia courts by Miss
Mary Fisher against DR.. l.. Webster
Fox, the specialist in eye diseases, for
alleged malpractice by which, she as.
serts, she has lost the sight of one eve.
Miss Fisher is one of the two patients
upon whom the oculist operated by
transplanting the cornea of rabbits
eyes. The other reputed case is that
of Mrs, Matilda Schiels, who says that
the operation upon her eye has been
successful. Miss Fisher claims dam.
ages because, whereas she formerly
had some power of vision in the eye
upon which the operation was per-
formed, since the operation she has
been entirely deprived of sight. She
alleges that DIR. Fox. neglected to in
form her of the danger attending the
operation, or even of the chances in
an operation which must either prove
successful or totally deprive her Of
sight, and that if she had been so in
formed she would have preferred to
retain her partial sight than run the
risk of losing it entirely.

Prof. Holden, the director OF the
Lick Observatory, San francisco, says
in regard to the new comet recently
discovered from that point: The
comet discovered by Mr.. Barnard, of
Lick Observatory, is likely to be
specially interesting object on account
of the long periord during which it will
remain visible. Late observations
have permitted calculation of orbits
which closely approximate to the final
orbit which will be obtained from OBJ.
servations taken during entire appari.
ton. 1t appears that the comet is now
about twelve times as bright as it was
at discovery, and that for a whole year
it will not fall below its brightness on
Sept. 2, when first found. Its orbit
SO lies in space that for long time it
travels at something like the same dis
lance from the earth, as she moves
in her orbit, and the result is to give
to this comet an unusually long period
of visibility. The comet will continue
to be visible in the evening sky till
the early part of March, 1850.

An Old English Primer.

The one in the British museum was found quarter of a century ago in a deep closet, built in the thick walls of an old farm house in Derbyshire. It is said that laborer, engaged in pulling down the walls of the ancient house, recog- nized it as that from which his father had been taught to read. Upon the back is a picture of Charles on horeback, giving some approximation to it's date.
 It is single leaf, containing upon the front side the alphabet, large and small, in old English and Roman letters, ten short columns of monysyllables founded on the vowels, and the Lords Prayer; all set in frame of oak, now black with age, and protected by slice of trans parent horn, hence the name horn book There is handle by which to hold it, and in the handle hole for a string, so it could hang from the girdle. A picture of 1720 represents child running in leading strings, with horn book tied to her side.
 4 cheaper kind.of horn book had the leaf of printed paper pasted upon the horn, and perhaps the greater number were made in this way. If so. it is not singular they should be scarce, for they would be very easily destroyed. Chris l tian at Work.

Swedish Family Names.

Although there are many Swedes in this country but few Americans under stand the old system of naming still used n Sweden I often hear people ask how 1t is that the names of so many Swedes end in ''son." My fathers name was Eric Johnson and I was named Eric In Sweden my name was Eric Ericsson. When I came to this country did as all Swedes do when they emigrate--took my fathers name. This system of naming was never in vogue among the Normans or Saxons, and every person who is named Nelson or Johnson or Thomson or any other ''son'' may be sure that he is 3 descendant of the old Scandinavian freebooters.

Various Diamond swindles.

The blue diamond, aniline diamond, or wash diamond swindle, as it was variously called, was invented few years ago. It is applied to off colored and slightly yell tow diamonds; these, if painted on the back with dilute solution of aniline and alcohol, will lose their yellow color and appear either perfectly white or a bril- liant blue white This steel blue tint cannot be removed by ordinary washing alcohol or some other solvent is required to do this, and if such a diamond thus treated is mounted in a water tight or closed box setting it will pass for long time undetected The first illustrious discover in this field received six months imprisonment in Paris for his reward.- George F.

Homes for Working People.

An interesting experiment has recently been made at Haarlem, in Holland, ill the way of lodging working people, which may suggest similar action in some American cities
 Five years ago three cooperative so- cieties undertook the construction of a new quarter that now comprises 2S9 houses and is traversed by several streets. Every house has been promptly rented, and in twenty years will become the property of the te3ants. Each of tho latter pays from forty to fifty cents a week rent, and in return enjoys the use of two rooms with alcoves, a kitchen, a cellar and garret. besides a small garden. Every house has separate water pipes, etc. The only obligation resting on the tenant is to pay his rent regularly for twenty-five years. This condition speaks volumes for the stability of Dutch institutions. Cor New York Star.
