Stories OF Lecturers.

Long ago Anna Dickinson, while in
her prime came to Chicago on a lee
turing tour. The announcement of
her address crowded the hall where
she was billed to speak. An auditor
says she began 10y asking: "Why
was [ born?" Then, after a pause,
she repeated: "Why was l born?"
whereupon some fellow in the gallery
shouted: "Well, Anna, if that's a
conundrum, I give it up" The en-
barrasment to the late Congressman
Dorsheimer of an interruption on q
similar occasion is fresh in the recol-
lection ofmany. Atsome commemor-
ative celebration that excellent speak
er was invited to deliver an address at
Faneuil hall. The building was packed
to hear the orator ofthe evening. Be-
hind and near him sat Pat O'Flaher-
ty, q noted democratic ward-worker.
Like an anatomical curiosity, he
was thoroughly soaked in alcohol.
Gov. Dorsheimer started in with:
"Faneuil hall is full tonight" "And
so Is Pat O'Flaherty," was echoed
from the rear. This elected shouts
of laughter, which the speaker mis-
took for approval, as the interjected
remark had escaped him. Again, in
stentorian and oraclar tones, he be-
gan: "Faneuil hall is full tonight. :"
"But divil-a-bit the advantage of
Pat O'Flaherty has it" was re-echoed
followed by peals of outlaws, which
thoroughly disconnected the Titanic
orator.-America.

Barnum's First HippOpOtamus.

THE first hippopotamus ever seen
in this country" said Tody Hamil-
ton, was brought here by Mr.. Bar
mum. 1t was about twenty five years
ago. Mr.. Barnum wanted one the
worst way, and had been on the look
out for one for many years, when he
heard that some natives in South
Africa had caught q big fellow in q
pit, and that it had been sold to a
German dealer in wild animals. The
dealer got an offer of $4,000 for it
and the offer was accepted. Ten
thouand dollars was paid when the
brute was safely placed on board the
vessel that was to bring him over;
another $4,000 was to be paid when
he arrived here, and the remaining
$1,000 at the expiration of three
months in case the brute lived. He
arrived here in good condition and
was the center of curiosity for several
months. But he was so big and
clumsy and required so much room
that Mr.. Barnum consented to rent
him to a man named Berry, who
wanted to take him round the coun-
tey exhibiting. Berry paid $500 a
week for him, and the venture was
so profitable that he cleared $780,
600 in one year. New York Sun.

ROBERT G. INGERSOLL.
The Greatest Orator of the Age.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll of New
York, has accepted the invitation of
the State of New York to deliver an
grafton upon the life and work of
Roscoe Conkling at the Capitol in
in Albany. The invitation was ten
dered by joint committee of the
Legislature.
When, during the Presidential cam
paign of 1880, Henry Ward Beecher
introduced Mr.. Ingersoll as "the
greatest orator OF the age" though
he said what may be open to dispute,
he gave prominence at an appropri-
ate time to Colonel Ingersoll's
strongest qualification. This genial

them to Garibaldi. He visited Ire
land, conferred with the advocates
of "home rule" and raised his voice
in their justification. In the year
1869 an attempt was made by the
Gladstone ministry to suppress his
journal because he refused to have it
licensed. He argued his own case and
won brilliant victory. Like him
self, in politics it is republican, in re-
ligion atheistic, in social economy,
Malthusian.
Mr.. BradIaugh's republicanism as
sumes that the fright to deal with
the throne is inalienably vested in the
English people to beexercised by them
through their representatives in
Parliament;" argues that the House
of Brunswick occupies it only from
the Acts of Settlement and Union,
and seeks the repeal Of those acts af-
ter the abdication or demise of the
! present monarch. 1t aspires to a
commonwealth after the American
model, to be attained as peacably as
possible.
Mr.. Bradlaugh's personal popular
ity is very great. Sir Charles Dixie
said of him in 1878, that he had the
largest personal following of any
man in England. In the autumn of
1873, Mr.. Bradlaugh visited the
United States, and delivered lectures
in most of the prominent cities.
His political status as the member
from Northampton, was for more
than five years one of the most agi-
tating before the British Parliament.
At the beginning of the controversy,
in 1880, he refused to take the
oath of allegiance on the ground
that it would not be binding upon
his conscience. The House refused to
let him affirm, inasmuch as no pro-
vision is MAIDEN the Parliamentary
Oaths Act for affirmation by others
than Quakers and the like. Upon
reelection Mr.. Bradlaugh changed
his ground and offered to take The
oath, but the house now refused to
receive it. Insisting upon entering
the House and administering the
oath to himself, he was removed by
the police. Afterwards, on several oc-
casions, similar farce was gone
through. Later, during the last ses-
sion of Parliament, Mr.. Bradlaugh
took the counsel of influential men,
who advised patience and all would
be well. Mr.. Gladstone and
other eminent leaders having taken
hispart, his admission became only a
matter of time.

MY DEAR EDIToR:-For several
years past l have the recipient of
several pamphlets issued from time
to time by Messrs. H. H. Warner &
CO., of Rochester, n. Y, which in ad-
dition to containing an extensive
treatise upon kidney disease, its ORR
Gin, usual symptoms and growth,
also includes numerous testimonials
from parties whose fac-simile sigma
lures are attached thereto, attesting
the statement that they have
been individually relieved by
the use of Warmers Safe
Cure, which is prepared
by the above firm, for the use of per-
sons so afflicted. Now, Mr.. Editor,
I would like to know if the state
ments made by those parties who
testify to the great good which
Warmers Safe Cure has done them,
can be relied upon. They seem hon
est enough from the way they read.

Each phamphlet which l have re-
ceived contains q hundred or more
testimonials, and the same one does
not appear in more than one pam
phlet, so it seems that there are a
good many who are being helped by
that remedy.
1t strikes me that there is d good
deal of sense in the claim which
those parties make that the doctors
are treating too many persons for
wrong causes, and that oftentimes,
people are treated for consumption,
brain, heart and nervous disorders,
when they are suffering from kidney
disease which should be treated, as
they say, by the use of Warner

ease is first removed therefrom, that
which is supposed to be diseasein the

|MEN OF THE HOUR.
CHARLES BRADLAUGH.
cne Of Englands Greatest Statesmen.


At the opening OF Parliament on
January II, Churles Bradlaugh was
sworn in as q member from North
ampton. Thus a controversy which
began in 1880, has been settled in
fovor of the man presistently re-
turned by anintelligent constituency,
and both they and he have received,
at last, their just rights from the
House of Commons.
Charles Bradlaugh was born in
Hoxton, London, September 26,
1888. Owing to the extreme poverty
of his parents, he ceased attending
school before he was eleven years old.
He early developed taste for
politics, for ut the age of fifteen he
appeared as an orator before street
audiences during the political tur-
moils of 1S47-48. The origin of his
atheistical opinions dates from
the same period. Studying to
fit himself for a Sunday-school eX-
hibition before the Bishop of London,
he became skeptical,, and declared
his inability to reconcile the Thirty
nine articles with the Four Gospels.
His father; influenced by the clergy,
gave him three days in which to
change his opinions, on penalty of
losing his situation. He accepted
the penalty and quilted the situation
and his home forever.
For year he earned an made
quate support by selling coal on
commission, and then, becoming
slightly involved in debt, he enlisted
in the service of the East India com
pany, where he remained until q
small legacy enabled him to pur-
chase his discharge.
He now secured a clerkship in q
solicitors office in London, and en-
tered at once upon his life career OF
a political and atheistical writer and
speaker. In 1S5S-59 he gained con-
siderable notoriety by editing a
journal called the Investigator, which
was soon suspended for want Of cap
ital. He was now we'll known under
the appropriate name of "Iconoc-
last, which he signed to all of his
writings. A year later the journal
which he now edits, the National Re
former, was established, and in the
conduct of this his reputation for
ability was greatly increased. System.
attic attempts were made to sup,
press his journal, but their only effect
was to increase it's circulation.
His sympathies for the oppressed
have not been confined to his own
country. When Italy was fighting
for freedom, he raised by his own ex,
ertions one hundred guineas and sent

Brute Humanity.

Once in the city of Vienna, \ here was
a dread of hydrophobia, and orders
were given. to massacre all the dogs
which were found unclaimed or I'M
collared in the city or suburbs. Men
were employed for this purpose, and
they generally carried short stick,
which they flung at thepoor prescrib-
ed animal with such certain aim as
either to kill, or main, it mortally,
at one blow.
1t happened one day that, close to
the edge of the river, near the Ferd-
inand s-Brucke, ole of these men
flung his stick at a wretched dog, but
with such bad aim that it fell int o the
river. The poor animal, following
his instinct, or his teaching, immedi-
ately plunged in, redeemed the stick,
and laid it at the feet of its owner,
who snatching it up, dashed out the
creatures brains.
Which was the brute?
We may surmise what the Athen-
fans would have done to such a man
from the fact that they banished the
Judge OF the Arepagus, because he
flung away the bird which sought
shelter in his bosom.
There are men in whom is nospark
of gratitude or generosity. There
are others who appreciate benefits re-
ceived and are happy in making CRATE
full acknowledgement.
Rev. j. W. Ashman, one of the
most eloquent divines of Detroit,
Mich, writes March Sd, 1888: "In

There are tens of thousands o
people in this country who have
gained the approval of a good con
science in like manner, and are moi
too bigoted to do good.

ing the graveyard in the course of
the day. The boy, who had an
idea peculiarly his own on all
subjects, soon rebelled strong
ly against this alleged des-
potism of his father, and left home
at an early age. His education was
received in the common schools and
supplemented by much reading dur
inc his leisure hours. After studying
law he was admitted to the bar and
began practice in Illinois.
Mr.. Ingersoll'spersonal appearance
is very pleasing and his manner is
taking. With a well-built body, q
handsome face, large, dark, eloquent
eyes and an easy grace of movement,
he captivates an audience before he
has opened his mouth. The orator
is "family man, finding much hap
