TalmaRe DIscussed.

Rev. ]. G. Koyd recently read paper
before the Pittsburgh (Pa.) United Pres
byterian Ministerial association on
"What Lessons Can We Learn from DIR.
Talmage as Preacher" Among other
things he said;
"What are some OF the causes OF this
minister's popularity and powerP NOT
great oratory; DR.. Talmage is not an
orator. He has less dramatic power
than the average Brooklyn preacher
Indeed. II is question whether he has
any dramatic power at all There is no
dramatic art in the distortions OF coun-
tenahce which he sometimes assumes.
DIR. Taimage has hardly single ges-
ture, posture or movement OF the BODY
that pertains TO the true orator. His
manner Is awkward, uncouth, unnatural
and distorted To me IL Is absolutely
repulsiye. His ability to construct ser
mons according 10 the best homnetic
models no one will ever think OF men
tionipa as an element OF Talmage's
popularity. His wild rhetoric can not
be set down as an element OF his power.
The first and most important element
Of his power is his Christian
earnestness. A second element o.
his power is staunch orthodoxy

more popular and possess more infiu

i have wasted my life; God asked me
for my services, and ! haven't given
those services. 0, my sins, God forgive
me-" When that tear starts 1t thrills
all heaven. An angel cannot keep his
eye off It, and the church Of God assem-.
bles around, and there Is a commingling

THE KING OF LIARS.
Joe Mulhatton's Famous Monkey Pre-.
Varicat ion Recalled.

Joe Mulhatton's Famous Monkey Pre-
varication Recalled.
Five or six years ago the newspapers
published remarkable story about Ken
lucky farmer who had imported ship-lOad
of monkeys from Africa and had trained
them to pick hemp.
The monkeys required little care in their
keeping, received no pay, and did their
work so well that the farmer discharged
nearly every man in his employ, determined
to import 1000 more monkeys, and looked
forward with joy and confidence to the
time when, owing to the low cost OF his
labor, he would obtain practical monopoly
of the business of growing hemp, and would
become one Of the richest men IN the South.
Then the story went on to say that the
knights of Labor of Kentucky had become
terribly excited over the affair that they had
denounced the importation of monkey labor
from Africa as being worse than the lmpor
tation of pauper labor from Europe, and
that a strike would certainly occur and there
might be riots and bloodshed, unless the en-
tire monkey business was stopped.
This yarn was told in such an ingenious
way that many people believed it. But the
wary veterans among newspaper readers re-
garded it as the work Of colossal liar. 1t
was not long before Joe Mulhatton, conf
mercal traveller, was known to be the man
VINO started the story on llS TouHuS. linen
everybody knew it was a lie.
This story is recalled to mind by the dis
patch from Chicago saying that Mulhatt0n
was found wandering about the streets in
daZed condition, and is now locked up in the
Detention Hospital for the insane.
MulhattOn was born in Allegheny City,
Pa, forty-three years ago, and has been on
the road as a commercial traveller for fifteen
or twenty years. In business affairs he has
been regarded as honest and conscientious.
His home is in Louisville and lie belongs to
the Baptist Church. For many years his
constant aim has been to startle the world
with remarkable stories or fakes" as such
productions are known in newspaper Offices.
In telling lies of a plausible and yet
remarkable character MulhattOn found al
most his sole enjoyment in life. Some men
devote their attention to billiards after busi-
NJ SIS hours, others to horses, others to cards,
to theaters, to literature, and so on; but
Mulhatton's weakness was for the strange
and marvellous, and in the course OF time he
became known as the Champion Liar of
America, the Monarch of Meudacity. His
name and his stories appeared in all the
newspapers, he became famous for outland-
ish inventions, and in 1884 the commercial
travellers, desiring 10 do him honor, nomi-
mated him for President against Ben Butler
and Belva Lockwood and then forgot to
vote for him.-Rochester Express.

One Who Has Not Spoken to His Wife
for Fifteen Years.
After living with his wife for fifteen
years in their cosy home in Horsham Town
ship, Montgomery County, without speak
ing word TO her in all that time, j. Henry
Knott has mysteriously decamped, thus APP
parently completing one of the strangest
dramas on record.
Knott has always been a strictly tenn
perate man, moral in every respect, and
general fayorite among his neighbOrs.
But he was Southerner, with all South
erner's impetuOslty and hot blood. He
was known among his neighbors as a
stubborn man" Mrs. Knott is herself
a woman of refinement, and is also pos
sessed Of much OF her husbands nature.
Their troubles began shortly after their
youngest child was born, about fifteen
years ago, since which time not a word has
passed between them.
Mrs. Knott when asked how the difficult
ties originated replied that she scarcely
knew. 1--WE could never agree very we'll.
and the trouble came on gradually. He
was overbearing, and refused to allow me
any privileges. Finally. in a paroxysm OF
rage, he refused to speak 10 me. We were
both too proud to give in, and have lived to-
gether for fifteen years without exchang-
ing word. IL he wanted to ask me any
thing he would ask IL through one OF the
children. philadelphia Record.
