"rhe pulse is now imperceptible; we

born, as he is. He has full, melodioua
voice, the voice of leader, and he would
make good speaker.
Springer of Springfield is remarka-
BILE man. Activity in mind and body
are his sterling characteristics He is
one of the men who seem to see every
thing, to think of everything to say
everything. Though apparently nerv-
Gus, restless. scattered nothing escapes
him, and at every crisis he is really cool,
thoughtful, vigilant. It is only his man.
ner that causes observers to doubt his
calmness. AS parliamentarian he is
one Of the greatest men in the house.
During the last session he gave Mr.,
Reed more trouble than all the other
Democrats together. When the speaker
was educating the house in use Of his
new rules Mr.. Springer was on his feet
about half the time, 1t used to be say
ing in the gallery: Springer is up again.
Sick him! Sick him, Springer"
The Illinoisian with the swapping black
eyes and grizzled mustache and beard
needed TO such encouragement. 1t was
fun for him. With dozen books Of
reference spread out before him, and one
big volume in his hand, he cited the law
and the authorities and beamed over his
spectacles till the onlookers shook their
sides with laughter. Springer is a fight
er, too, and last spring had the courage
to stand up and defy Reed. For time
he and the speaker were on very bad
terms personally. but near the close Of
the session they sat down together one
day in the rear of the hall and talked
things over for an hour. They parted
good friends. No two men in the pres
ent congress have fought each other
more iercely than Reed and Springer.
The latter has been often in the chair.
If he were three inches taller, weighed
forty pounds more and had louder
voice Wilson. of West Virginia, would
make almost an ideal speaker. He is
student, a judicially minded man, born
judge. 1t has been said of Mr.. Carlisle
that he has mind so constituted it is
impossible for him to make a wrong de-
cision. Perhaps this is strong state
ment, but Carlisle never yet had a de-
cision overruled. Wilson is much like
Carlisle Though brilliant and eloquent
orators. neither cares much for public
speaking, neither likes the contention
and word bandying of the contests that
take place on the floor Both are fond
Of stealing off to their committee rooms
or to the library. and there spending the
hours with their books.
Some of the prophets say Mills and
Crisp and Springer and the others win
eat each other up, and that in the end
the party will fall back upon this quiet,
cultured gentleman tear him away from
his studies and make speaker of him.

naturally and by common consent REQ
ognized as the commanding officer. The
long illness and then the death Of Mr..
Randall, and the promotion of Mr.. Car
Isle to the senate, left Mr.. Mills in
actual as well as in nominal leadership.
Mr.. Mills is n very able man. Sim
cerity and earnestness are his FREEDOM
mating characteristics. He is incapable
of indirection, of deceit, of falsehood.
He is even too honest to be diplomatic.
Franlsness is one of his faults or one,
of his virtues, as you please. No man
in this country is more devoted than he
to the cause of tariff reform. 1t is his
ambition, his dream, to see the nation
relieved Of what he conceives to be the
burdens of false system. There are
three other men in this congress rs well
informed as ho on the philosophy and
the details of the revenue reform cult:
Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Wilson of West Vir-
ginia, and Mr.. Breckenridge Of Arkan-
sas. But none of these displays the en-
thusiasm nor the depth of feeling which
are characteristic of the great Texan.
When tariff reform is up Mr.. Mills is as
happy as the parent of boy who has
won first honors at college; when tariff
reform is down he gloomily but cour-
ageously takes refuge in his faith in its
ultimate triumph. No man in this coun-
try has done more than he to keep the
followers of this principle strong and
faithful.
If, as the wise men say, the result Of
the recent elections was q victory for
that principle which Mr.. Nils has so
long and so valiantly commended, surely
his reward should be the speakership
But it may not be so. Some of the
members of his party say Mr.. Mills is
too radical to be speaker Others say
he has too hasty temper. But whether
speaker or leader on the floor, Mills is
sure to be one Of the great commoners.
of the next congress as he is one of the
most admirable men in public life.
Mills is comparatively poor man. He
has his salary as congressman, farm in
Texas, and in Washington lives in one
half Of a rented house, the other half be-
ing occupied by Judge Payson, of Illi-
nois Mr.. Mills has fine private char
acter, looks like bluff and ugly GUS
toner, but has one of the kindest Of
hearts, and is unfortunately fond Of spend
ing his evenings alone at home surround
ed by books on the tariff, and occasional
ly amusing himself at solitaire
Crisp Of Georgia is stalwart. He
has large frame, Websterian head,
which, however, is very bald. He was
fighter in tho war and is fighter in
congress. His courage, stability and
force are undoubted. A great lawyer
and deep thinker, he has habit Of
considering well in advance the ground
he is to take. He therefore makes few
mistakes, and has the right to be stub.

A DEL VALE MYSTERY.
Excitement Over q Grave Which Ends in
Profound Dispusf

Excitement Over Grave Which Ends in
Profound Disgust.
School children, not far from Del
Vale, a day or two ago, discovered
what they took to be new grave of
some distance from the regular burial
ground.
They notified the people in the
neighborhood and an inspection OF
the locality was made and the report
of the children were confirmed.
There was a grave. 1t was a mys-
terry. No one, so far as known, had
died in the neighborhood and no fun
eral had occurred.
Something must be wrong. So
thought the people, and it was deter
mined to notify an officer and open
the grave.
Justice Caldwell was notified and
ne hurriedly repaired to the LEGALITY
fully prepared to hold a solemn and
impartial inquest.
The impatient crowd, worked up to
fever heat over what seemed to be
q mysterious murder and secret
burial could not await the arrival OF
the officer, and with pick and shovel
they threw out the loose dirt and
found-notbing.
When Mr.. Caldwell arrived he found
Disguised crowd, the members of
which we're softly kicking themselves.
Justice Caldwell was disguised and
sought relief by kicking himself back
to his south Austin Office where he
meditated over the absurdities of
people who have vivid imaginations.

frequent ghostly visitor. While star
tied, still had courage enough to ask
him what he wanted, but the appari-
ton, or whatever it was, only faded
away. Then began a series of start
ling appearances. Seated in my studio,
which faced the south, and while en-
gagged in painting, not at night but in
bright sun light, upon looking up
would see a face clearly outlined on
the window pane. AS this was in the
second storyI knew it could be no one
on the street looking in. Then TO ease
my mind l would go to the window,
only to find-no one. To satisfy my.
self | would go outside and from the
street the face would be plainly visible,

like an orator. He himself would read
or rehearse the speech as he wished to
have it spoken. Whenever he did TINS
fine school became quiet and respectful
at once. His gestures expressed grace
and variety without which there had
been monotony, and his taste in empha-
sis had the effect Ito bring out from the
sentences into light their vital living
ideas, that till then had been hidden tar
beneath and beyond the boys own
mental power to uncover. BY such teacn,-
ing it was not long before his school
had acquired local reputation AT
least. for the number Of its good
speakers.
In the fall term of 1852, at its close the
school proposed public entertainment
| in the form Of an exhibition.
A very elaborate programme had oeen
arranged consisting Of declarations, dla-
logues, original essays, etc. NO pans
we're spared to make it success. On
every evening, excepting Sundays tor
six weeks, there had been rehearsal.
At these rehearsals Arthur was never
absent. The Bennington Cornet Band
furnished the music. The exhi0ltlon
commenced at 7.30 p. m, and closed at
2 a. m.
1t was a success. The church was
filled to the utt0rmost. No one COM
planned because it was too long. There
had never been a school exhibition like
it before. The younger speakers behaved
themselves like Romans. They spoke
like orators. Kossuth had been to thls
country and had returned home. SEN
ators in Congress had made his visit here
and the needs of Hungary, occasion Tor
speech making pro and con. From these
sreeches selections had been made fol-
the exhibition and page after page OF
extract was delivered by these mimic
orators, as if they themselves were the
Senate of the United States. Not
word was omitted, nor sentence mis-
placed. Their very earnestness and dig
nity made them appear like real speakers
indeed
Those who were in that school and
exhibition have since scattered abroad IL
the world. Some with the teacher are
among the dead. A few are living ou
wide apart. Several were in the war
Others did duty at home, but to all allk'
the scenes and experiences OF that schoo
room with its remarkable teacher cal
never be effaced from their memories.
