There is curious instance of an echo at Tatenhill, Staffordshire. The tower of the church there has an echo that re- peats five times the syllables uttered at the centrum phonicum, which is about seventy yards distance. Whispering galleries can scarcely be considered any thing but odd items in our sacred edi- fees. Of these there are examples in Gloucester cathedral and St. Paul's.- Gentleman's Magazine.

THE GLIMPSE.

Just for a day you crossed my life's dull track, Put my ignobler dreams to sudden shame, Went your bright way, and left me to fall
 back
 On my own world of poorer deed and aim. To fall back on my meaner world, and feel Like one who, dwelling mid some smoke
 dimmed town,
 In brief pause of labor's sullen wheel. 'Scaped from the streets dead dust and fac
 tory's frown.
 In stainless daylight saw the pure seas roll, Saw mountains pillaring the perfect sky; Then journeyed home to carry in his soul The torment of the differcEce till he die. William Watson in LoEoJ Jn Spectator.

Cr,sp,. uond III,e Reed,s.

NEW YORK, Nov 19.--Congressman
Charles f. Crisp, Of Georgia, who is can
didate for the speakership Of the house Of
representatives, is at the Hoffman House
He says that his visit here has nothing to
do with the contest. The top of his head
looks very much like that Of ex-Speaker
"Tom" Reed
"Yes, y said Mr.. Crisp, laughing when
reminded Of the resemblance, Il have
been told that before, but If elected hope
that shall be somewhat less arbitrary in
my decisions and somewhat more con-
ciliatory in speech than was Mr.. Reed.
"Who do you think will be the next
speakers" / asked him.
That's rather an embarrassing ques-
ton, " he replied, smiling "Mr Bynum,
Mr.. Mills, Mr. Springer, Mr.. Hatch and
myself are all candidates, and each Of us,
! suppose, thinks he has better chance
than the others. But it is a friendly con-
test all round, and whoever wins will re-
ceive the loyal support Of his competi-
tors. 1t is not true, as has been limited,
that have been promised the support OF
Tammany's influence AS an organization
i don't know that Tammany is for any
one in particular. A Democrat will be the
next president and the issues will be tariff
reform and governmental economy, in my
opinion

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19-The Farmers
Alliance leaders now here are a unit
against Grover Cleveland as a presidential
candidate. Chairman Taubeneck, OF the
Peoples party, says: ''Cleyeland's nomi-
nation would be the best thing that could
possibly happen TO help along the inter
ests Of the Peoples party. When Mr.,
Cleveland's pronounced financial views
and those Of the industrial masses come
ia contact something is bound to fiy of at
a tangent. And, on the other hand, his
nomination would be by all odds the worst
thing the Democratic party could possibly
do for its cause.
mo southern Alliance man could vote
for Mr.. Cleveland and remain true to the
Alliance
Colonel Livingston, epresentative-elect
from Georgia, was asked whom Georgia
favored. He replied: "Some western man.
Vest, Boies, Campbell OF Gray would be
acceptable to us. Mr.. Cleveland cannot
receive the solid Georgia delegation. A
few cities and the newspapers are for him,
but the people, as a mass, are not"
