A Happy Old Landlord.

A bridegroom is generally supposed
to be in n generous mood upon his
wedding day, and there are a few chart
table benefnctions up and down our
land which date their foundation from
the ''happiest day" in the founders
life. The great hotel keeper Frohler,
of Buda-Pesth, who has just been di-
vorced from his wife, is of the quite
contrary opinion. 1t was not upon
his wedding day, but upon his divorce
day, that he was inspired with the en-
thusiasm of humanity. In gratitude
for his divorce and in perpetual mem
DRY of that "happicst day of his life, "
he has founded three charitable insti-
t~utions-irst, n pension fund for de
cayed Hungarian journalists; Sec
ondly, an exhibition for school bows
Of Austrian birth who can pass the
best examination in the Magyar Ian
guage and litcraturc; and, thirdly,
a village hospital in his own native
place, Iuzersdorf. Future generations

Here is n story of n bantam hen
told 10y Couch the naturalist: There
was a nest of the common hen in n
secluded part Of the garden, and the
parent had been sitting on its eggs un-
til compelled by hunger she left them
for n short time. This absence was
fatal, for a little bantam hen, yearn-
ing for progeny, found the recess in
the hedge, and creeping in took pos
session of the nest with all the tri-
umph of the discovercr Of n treasure.
The real mother now returned, and
great was her agony at finding an in
truder in her nest. After many ut
tcmpts 10 recover possession, she was
compelled To resign her rights, for the
bantam was too resolute TO be con-
tended with; and though its body was
not big enough TO cover all the eggs,
and thus some Of them were not
Matched, yet in due season the pride
OF this audacious stepmother was
gratiiied by strutting at the head of a
company of robust chickens, which
she passed Off ON the feathered public
as II brood Of her own.-Philndelphia

PUBLIC SPEAKING.
An Irish Member Of Parliament Gives Hs
yIews on the Subject

An Irish Member Of Parliament Gives Hi
Views on the Subject
II would be ludicrous on my part 10
set up as an authority on public speak
ing, says William OfBrien, member of
parliament Nothing short of the i'm
perious necessities Of our Irish strug-
giles and a command from Nj. Parnell
could over have made mo a public
speaker, and these necessities once
satisfied, | cannot imagine anything
which would induce me TO remain one.
However, as you are kind enough to
evince any interest in my personal ex-
periences, it is but q very trihinp re-
turn of good will on my part TO tell
you the very little / have TO say upon
the subject
If there is anybody, not a fool or a
bore, who ever presumed to address an
audience of thinking men upon any
grave topic without preparation in
some shape, in the mind if not on
paper, l have not the least pretension
TO the gift. My rule is to think as
much as possible of what l want TO
say, and as little as possible of how l
am going to say il, and my first
speech Gt was TO the electors of NAL
low was wholly written When the
moment came to speak it the flowing
language all swan before me and
disappeared. l was only saved from
q catastrophe by the intense enthu-
siasm of the crowd, who knew l wa
no speechmaker, and did not care
three straws for my mere words; but,
once fired by their magnetism, l found
the argument of my written speech
come back 10 my memory most ser
viceably, and | found palmer and
more direct words TO enforce il.
Since then, unfortunately, the in
cessant demands Of our struggle in
Ireland have, in nineteen cases out OF
twenty, rendered anything like writ
ten preparation a ridiculously impossi-
BILE luxury, which is all the greater
pity that every idle word of ours is
scrutinized by malignant eyes for
something that may serve against us,
whether for the purpose of a prosecu-
ton in Ireland or quotation in Eng
land.
For the last two years my practice
has been to wake at z o'clock on the
morning Of a meeting, if not obliged
to be out all night, and turn over in
my mind for an hour or two the
most effective line of argument for
the day, sometimes jumping out of
bed to jot down some particular hint
orphrase that may occur TO me. Any
thing in the nature of a lecture, re-
quiring literary elaboration, I write
and read, but ] am sorry to say my
experience Of this kind of d~eliverance
is that the audience would lose moth
ing if they saw it first in the morning
papers.
My first general advice to young
men on the subject of public speaking
would be not to become public speak
ers at all, unless in very special cir
cumstances and with very special
gifts; or, if they must make speeches,
to spare no possible pains in thinking
out those portions Of their discourse
which are intended to convince the
reason, and trust TO their own central
fires for that Undesirable glow Of Ian
guage which no written words can
impart to appeals to human feeling

Tho Fatal Opal

1t is a fact that instances of Ill luck,
misfortune and disaster have been
known to follow closely upon the ac-
QUESTION of the opal; but would not
the results have been the same either
in the absence or possession of the
gems7 A lady of wealth and pros
perity purchased a full set of opals
and diamonds. In five years she has
met with more misfortune and re-
verses than is usually crowded into a
dozen life times. Divorce, loss of for
tune, beauty, social position was her
lot and to the baneful influence of
the wonderful opal she attributes her
downfall. Another lady traces her
troubles TO the fact of owning a beau
tiful opal ring which she keeps be-
cause it is an heir loom, but no power
of persuasion can make her wear it,
and her children have been warned to
shun it as they would some evil and
poisonous thing. 1t was given her by
her brother on his deathbed. The
first day she wore it the water pipes
burst and caused a damage of several
thousand dollars TO the beautiful dec
GRATED and frescoed ceilings. She put
it away, and several years later her
daughter put it on. A gentleman
friend who admired the gem asked
permission TO wear it. What followed
is rather remarkable. He had been
very prosperous, having made a for
tune with great rapidity. With the
possession Of the ring success deserted
his efforts. Loss after loss followed
one another in rapid succession and
he returned the bauble q ruined man,
fully assured that the baleful CLEAN
OF that mysterious stone of the an
clients had exerted its influence against
him. San francisco Chronicle.

-A1 uNtAAAaN ohAA IN DIT Aou41
The loveliest woman that l have
seen in St. louisiana / have seen
many, and ali of the celebrated beau
ties-is not 'in society" She is a
humble school Sister OF Notre Dame,
a teacher Of the poor and i'll clad pupils
of a parochial school. Day after day
| see her accompanying a long line Of
restless little ones to and from church.
Meeting her Ito mel is like beholding
a vision from the other and perfect
world. Clad in the coarse habiliments
of her order, she glides along, the out
lines of her figure showing the acme
Of grace and symmetry. Her hands
and feet are such as artists dream of
but seldom create. Her face-"Oh,
call il fair, not pale, lis such as one
imhgines the Madonna had, so pure,
so noble, so exalted. 1t is not the face
of IN a~scetic, but that Of a woman
~contented and peaceful in mind,
healthy Of body and gifted with a
trusting faith that illumines like a
light from heaven. Her eyes-the
windows of n sinless soul-have such
an expression hat n glance from them
penetrates ones heart like a ny from
above, filling il with q strange sense
of unworthiness and n vague longing
painfully pleasant.
On such n woman no man dares TO
look with base desire. Her innate
virtue disarms passion. Such as she
is too good for man She is Gods
the spouse Of Christ" and truly she
appears entirely worthy of her dis
tinguishcd vocation. New York Mer-

CREsToN, Ia, Jan. 27.-ISpecial to The
BEE. The town is considerably agitated
over report in circulation here and at Bur
lngton TO the effect that the Chicago, Bur-
lngton & Quincy railroad company has
made all preliminary arrangements for
building one of the largest and most com
plete railroad shops in the United States, 1t
is rumored that in these shops they will
manufacture everything required on either
its main line or branches, from locomotive
down to railroad spike, and that the COM
pany is at present looking up the most de-
sirable location for such shops, which, they
claim, will pay out over 81 100000 year in
running expenses. Creston claims to have
the best site in Iowa. ana will doubtless make
application for their erection here.
The town is also exceedingly agitated over
yesterdays report in THE BEE relative to
the "liquor joints in operation here. Every
body, from clergyman to "A school boy, is
talking about 1t. That The BEE representa-
tive did some effective work both in Des
Moines and here, is a conceded fact. AS yet
the local papers have little to say, but the po-
lice wear an agitated look and seemingly
have more business than they can attend to.
