Senator PaImcr's Little Problem.

Among the other good things that
Senator tom" Palmer, of Michigan,
has said is recorded tho following:
In little gathering at his house a
young congressman from Massachu-
sets, said: Senator Palmer, ! pre-
sumo that between legitimate lumber
ing, timber thieves, forest fires ETC.,
Michigan is pretty fully denuded of her
timber crop"
Senator Palmer looked at the young
congressman commiseratingly for a
few seconds and then said in his fine
German silver voice: Young man,
there is enough lumber standing in
Michigan today to build fence fif-
teen boards high three times around
the earth once year for fifteen years.
Now, that's an easy thing to reckon,
as it is 25, 600 miles around the world.
Go and reckon it up, and you can set
the number of feet Of lumber Michi.
gan is prepared to furnish tho world.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.
An Irish Member Of Parliament Gives His
Views ON the Subject.

Az Irish Member OF Parliament Gives His
Views ON the Subject.
IL would be ludicrous OH my part to
set up as an authority on public speak
ing, says William OBrien, member Of
parliament. Nothing short of the i'm
perious necessities of our Irish strug-
giles and q command from Mr.. Parnell
could ever have made me public
speaker, and these necessities once
satisfied, | cannot imagine anything
which would induce me to remain one.
However, us you are kind enough to
evince any interest in my personal ex-
periences, il is but very trifling 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 fool or a
bore, who ever presumed TO address an
audience of thinking men upon any
grave topic without preparation in
some shape, III the mind if not on
paper, have not the least pretension
10 the gift. My rule is TO think as
much us possible of what | want TO
say, and as little rs possible of how |
am going TO say it, and my first
speech Git 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. / was only saved from
q catastrophe by the intense cnthu-
siasm Of the crowd, who knew l was
no speechmaker, and did not care
three straws for my mere words; but,
once fired by their magnetism, found
the argument of my written speech
come back TO my memory most SER
viceably, and / found palmer and
moro direct words to enforce it.
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 ridiculously impossi-
BILE luxury, which is all tho 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 % prosecu-
ton in Ireland or quotation III Eng
land
For the last two years my practice
has been to wake at z o'clock on the
morning of q 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 III the nature of lecture, re-
curing literary elaboration, l write
and read, but | am sorry to say my
experience of this kind of deliverance
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 tho 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 arc 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

COnauerinC Him.

The i'll nature of many men will
vanish in the presence of their favor
tie dishes on the dinner table, fact
that has giving rise to tho old saying
that the way to a mans heart is
through his stomach.
The writer once boarded with an ir-
ritable elderly man who gave laugh
able illustrations Of the truth of this
adage. When things had gone wrong
with the choleric old gentleman his
wife would slyly say to her daughter,
who assisted in the cooking:
''We'd better have apple pumpkins
today, Sarah, your pa is out of speerits.
/ intended having pot pie, but he
don't care much for that, and you
know how fond he is of dumplin's."
When the "dumplin's" appeared
the old gentleman's wrath would
speedily vanish.
Sometimes the wise old lady would
scatter an impending storm and keep
it from breaking by appearing with q
plato of doughnuts or pie and saying:
Here, pa, you'd better eat this; mo-
body else wants it and it's just settin'
round in the way."-Youth's Com
panion.

Utah Lake Shad.

Correspondence Of the DEsERET

to confess that ] was very agreeably
surprised when / discovered, this
afternoon, over 100 Utah Lake shad
on Mr.. George F, Brooks fish
tableS-Market Row-for sale. at 20
cents a pound, the largest Of which,
1 was told, weighed Il pounds
apiece. II will be Remembered that
in June, 1857, we put in the jordan
River, over l,OOo,OO shad fry, and
that in June. ISIS, we put in Utah
Lake, at Battle Creek station, over
100000 fry of this most excellent
fish. I am delighted beyond ex-
preston to realize that the great
plants proved to he 50 successful as
indicated by the presence Of these
young shad found i'm the market
50 soon after their immersion.
but they must not be further
until they are full grown,
when they will weigh from three
and a half 10 five pounds each.
Fishermen should throw hack
into the water all shad not fully
and market men and con-
sumers should refuse to purchase
any but adult, full-sized shad, which,
in eating qualities. compared with
the young ones, cannot be over-es-
timated. The late Seth Green saws
nthis subject: "There are few fishes
in which there Is so marked diff
ference i'm value, according to their
size, rs in the shad. The small ones
are little better than mOssbunkers:
are filled with minute bones. and
are almost UNBEATABLE, while the
large ones are as excellent food as is
put on the table, Shad catchers Of
the Hudson, Connecticut and other
eastern rivers, are prohibited by law
from using seines with meshes under
five inches, nor are they permitted
to takeany shad during thespawning
season, which is from the 18th March
to the 18th OF June. ] hope that
will not Oblige the county
fish commissioners TO protect the
young shad by the enforcement Of
legal measures, but from an honor
lhle and praiseworthy desire, exer-
,ised in the interests Of the entire
community, desist from taking shai
rom the water until after they have
attained their growth and had, at
east, one opportunity 10 spawn.
Please use your pen in support Of
hose needful propositions and
,blige all concerned.

was the next speaker. He said he
had been requested to address the
Saints, and he desired TO do 50 in
conformity with the will OF heaven.
The Saints are accustomed to meet
ON the Sabbath day to receive such
spiritual food as will strengthen
them in the principles Of the Gospel.
Those who walk in the straight and
narrow path are called upon to
struggle and make sacrifices for the
Gospel, thereby showing that they
love the truth. IL is today as it was
in past ages, they who seek TO ts.ne-
fit the human family are not under

was indicated by Jesus when He
asked the generation which lived
when He was on earth, (Which of
the Prophets have your fathers not
slain?" Thus il viii be TIL there
shall come on earth peace and to
man good will. Jesus, in His day,
said that time had not come. He
said He came then not to bring
peace but the sword. We see this
truth exemplified in the opposition
Of the world 10 the light Of heaven.
The Saints comprehend the words
IF the Master when He said that it
must needs be that offenses come,
but wee unto those by whom they |
come. The refOrmers in every age
we're called TO meet with opposition,

used to denounce what they be-
