Ii is entitled " From Babel to Compare

Talleyrand's residence in England and
America, and of most interesting con-
versation between Talleyrand and Ham

characteristic of the Century.

Lord John Russell.

If he had not much pretension to exact
knowledge, his reading was wider than
that of most of his contemporaries, and
he had not merely large acquaintance
with authors of many nations, he had
thought on what he read. His mind, too,
had been enlarged by intercourse with
superior men and by the opportunities of
foreign travel. Few men of his age,
standing on the threshold of a career,
had seen SO much that was worth seeing.
He had knowledge of every division of
the United Kingdom.
In London he had breakfast with Mr..
Fox, he was frequent guest at Lord
Hollands dinner table, he was acquainted
with all the prominent leaders of the
Wing party, he had become member of
Grillion's club. In Dublin (where his
father had been lord lieutenant) he had
seen all the best society; in Edinburgh
(where he was pupil of Professor Play
fair) he had mixed with all that is best
in letters. y Abroad his oppor-
tunities had been even greater. He had
read his Camoens in Portugal, his Tasso
in Italy; he had journeyed through the
length of Spain; he had ridden with the
duke of Wellington along the lines of
Torres Vedras; he had watched French
advance in force in the neighborhood
Of Burgos. He had conversed
with Napoleon in Elba.-Walpole's Life
of Lord John Russell.

A Great Speech.

The speech made in the U. s. Sen.
ate by Senator Davis, of this state, ION
the 9th inst, In behalf of the inn
provement of the $500" canal and
Hay lake channel, connecting Lakes
Superior and Huron, was grand
effort indeed. By irresistible facts and
figures the senator demonstrated the
Importance of Northwestern COM
merce, as 1t has never before been
demonstrated. We quote the follow
ing:
1.-THE great waterway is in most
inadequate state Of development.
Yet, even in its present condition it
carries more freight than any other
artificial waterway on the planet
more than the Erie canal; more daily
than the Suez canal.
The Suez canal cost nearly $780,
100000. It is the highway of all ma
tions. It revolutionlzed all of the
processes of intercourse between the
East and the West. Yet its average
daily tonnage for the year 1883 was

A Queer Coincidence.

In Berks county, Pa, at the little vii
lage of Shillington, lives Samuel Shil-
ling, a living fulfilment Of remark
able coincidence. He first saw the light
Of day on Feb. %, 1919. Beginning with
the date of his birth, it seems that the
father of his country has kept watch
full eye on Samuel Shilling every day
for the pastseventy years.
Shilling was married on Feb. % to a
woman, who, like himself, was born on
that date. Their first child-a boy-was
born on Washington's birthday, exactly
one year to a day after their marriage,
and two years afterwards, on the same
date, twins-a boy and girl-were added
to the Washington-blessed household.
Five years rolled around, when, on the
fifth anniversary of their wedding, an
other infant, little girl, was added to
their blessings. The fifth and sixth child,
another pair of twins, came around on
schedule time two years later, exactly,
and upon the seventh anniversary of the
welded life begun on the natal day of
our first president.
MI OnlA1nS Is very prouu VI Iue 1uCAy
coincidence that has connected his name
and that Of his family SO inseparably
with that of the immortal George Wash
ington.
Many remarkable stories, all true, as
far as the writer has been able to ascer-
tain, have been related, but it is doubtful
If there is another case on record where
a father, his wife and six children all
claim one birthday, and that, too, one of
the most historical in the whole calen-
dar.-St. Louis Republic.
