Judging from the following extract of n
speech made in New York by Governor
Lee, of Virginia, at the Centennial cee-
bration, "the Old Dominion" is becoming
quite reconstructed. "The Old Dominion
State is not dead yet. When the time
comes again to fight under star spangled
banner, to the brilliancy of whose stars
she contributed so much. you will find
her abreast with any state, her sword as
bright as ever when it was drawn in her
defence in the war with the states. She
reioices in this celebration and feels
proud and happy that the whole country
has given such recognition to one of her
grandest sons, George Washington"

The title of "silver tongued orator" was
conferred upon Henry Clay by his host of
admiring friends. Since his time it
could be claimed perhaps by s. s Prem
tiss. one of the most eloquent speakers
the country has ever known. In our day
the honor seems TO be somewhat divided.
Henry w. Grady, of the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, after his famous speech on the New
South was called the "silver tongued"
but since that effort lie seems to have
done nothing to keep up his reputation
in that line. Daniel DougheIty, of Phil
adelphia, is a natural orator, and his
eulogy on Roscoe Conkling and his nomi-
mating speech at the St.Louis convention,
shows that his powers Of elcquence are
by no means diminished by his advanc-
ing age. Robert G.. Ingersoll has made
some remarkable speeches and must be
placed in the front rank of American
orators. His greatest effort was his
speech at the Republican convention
eight years ago when he nominated Hon
James q. Blaine as president. The late
Roscoe Conkling was perhaps the peer OF
any Of these men, and his great rival,
James G.. Blaine, has most wonderful
gift of oratory. Chauncy NJ. Depew was
for long time considered a good after
dinner speaker rather than great
orator, but such efforts as his late Gem
tennial speech must place him alongside
the most eloquent speakers of this gene
ration.

Portraits in oil are seldom faithful
ikenesses of the subjects. The other
day a local portrait painter was asked
why this was so, and he said it was al
most invariably the fault of the subject
especially SC in the case of a woman.
With q photograph or crayon portrait
the subject never saw the work until
it was presented complete, while with a
portrait in oil the subject gave sittings
and suggestions-lots of suggestions,
too. The painter was working for
money. He must please his subject
in order TO give satisfaction and earn
his money, and consequently he was
Obliged to accept suggestions. These
might please the subject by making
her look prettier, but they would
nearly always spoil the likeness. Por-
trait painting, he said, was the most
unsatisfactory branch OF the art, and
portrait painters always aged more
rapidly than did those who devoted
their talents to other branches. Chi

The number of market wagons that
come over from New Jersey and Long
Island during the evening is exceed
ingly large. In order to get an idea
of their traffic one has only to think
of the enormous amount of vegetables,
fruit, eggs and garden produce that is
used every day TO feed a great city like
Now York. AT midnight or before a
start is made from the outskirts of the
neighboring towns on either shore,
and from that time until a few hours
Of daybreak tho ferry boats and ferry
houses are alive with wagons and
carts. Tho horses know their duties SO
well that driving is scarcely necessary,
INT 1t is not an uncommon sight TO sec
a horse pulling q cart on which is
seated some old farmer quite fast
asleep. AS oon MS they get into town
they steer for the various markets
along the North river and sit on their
wagons wrapped up in blankets until
dawn, or until purchasers come along
TO buy their wares. There is n
siderable competition among the far
mers for favorable places in which to
stand their carts, and late arrivals are
not SO fortunate in their sales as are
those who get into town earlier. The
life of q Long Island or New Jersey
farmer is not altogether a happy one.
He works in the field all day, and has
to depend for whatever sleep he can
get during the interval of his arrival
in the city and 3 or G o'clock in the
evening.-Now York News.

John t. Raymopd,s Hotel joke.

heard n funny story the other day
about Jimmy Pigott, that clever actor,
who first came to this country l think
with Mrs. Langtry and afterward act
ed with young Sothern. Jimmy Pi-
gott was at one time very well known
in the gay set about London, and like
many another good fellow lost his
money and had to turn round and
make his bread and butter. Just be-
fore he came to this country he met
John 7. Raymond, whose advice he
asked about the hotels and other mat
ters. This is the result: When Mr..
Pigott got here he stepped into a cab
and requested TO be taken TO the
Hotel TombsI" The cabby asserted
that he did not know of any such
place; Then" said Pigott Ito the
Hotel Ludlow" Again cabby insisted
on his ignorance. "Well, of all stupid
cabman / ever came across, this is the
stupidestl What hotel would you
recommend7n Hotel Dam, SIR
Dam yourself" said Pigott, getting
out'of the cab and posing himself for
fight. The cabby was quickly off
the box, only too ready to begin, and
1t was only after the surrounding cab
men had explained that Pigott realized
that he had been sold Big his friend
Mr.. Raymond, and that the cabby's
intentions were quite honorable. That
same afternoon the genial English
man went to the ticket office to in
quire the price of a ticket TO Salt Lake,
rs he had a brother there, and he
thought he would like to spend the
afternoon with himl His astonish-
ment when he discovered that, the
ticket would be in the neighborhood
of 5000, and that he could scarcely be
there in time for dinner, can be better
imagined than described.-New York

Where violets blue and yellow. and crimson HBes

Over the powders and pebbles, chanting its drynd

Over its stony pathway. sang q brook with silver

Where Its turbid waters tarried a space by tho

And on through the dreary lowlandA with deeper

Hot is their breath In summer, with fever OF self

And echo scorns with q stony voice tho cry of q
