A REPUBLICAN REVIVAL.


From Mr. Depews speech at the Federal Club
banquet.
"But, if last fall was our Bull Run,
the election returns coming in from the
municipalities in our State show that,
having met the Bull Run, the turn has
come now, for this year and the next we
are to have our Donelson. our Vicksburg,
our March to the Sea, and in 1892 our
Appomattox. Great cheering. Our
friends, the enemy, are not so happy as
one might suppose who looked upon the
surface, when we note that ex-President
Cleveland, who seemed to be six months
ago the unanimous choice of the party,
now has the silver spear from the South
and West directed against his vitals;
when Governor Hill and Senator Hill

PRINCE NAPOLEON.

Murat Halstead in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
The dying Prince Napoleon was the
son of Jerome-the younger brother OF
the Emperor and a German Princess.
He was the younger and half brother,
OF course, of the first of the Baltimore
Bonapartes. In person, though much
larger than the Emperor Napoleon the
First, he resembled him in face and
head very closely. He was, about the
time his cousin became Napoleon Ill,
a professor of radical Republicanism
He was of luxurious tastes, and not
strict in his domestic habits. He had
good deal of enjoyment out of the EN-
pire, having palaces set apart to sustain
his dignity and ships of war to serve as
private yachts. Under these auspices
he travelled extensively, visiting this
country and Iceland. His Imperial
cousin seemed to have a liking for him,
but the Empress Eugene disliked him
and has been implacably hostile, winning
mis- own son Victor away from him, and
establishing such relations that the
young man could not visit his father on
his death bed. Bradlaugh thought
Prince Napoleon was in natural gifts
the ablest man in Europe, and held that
he had been ruined by the Empress, who
spared no pains to thwart his ambition
and make him seem absurd. According
to Bradlaugh, who was for many years
in correspondence with Prince Napoleon,
the jokes that were fastened upon him
in the circle of the most init
mate of the friends and favorites of the
Empress, and she managed that he
should come out of the Crimean and
Sandman and German wars without
chance to do creditable thing. He
was managed out of the Crimean with
a clouded reputation and sent to raise
corps in Italy to reinforce Napoleon Ill,
who made the peace of Villa Franco
with the utmost speed, after the battle
of Solferino. In the Franco German
war there was no show for Bonaparte,
and the Prince Napoleon especially was
not wanted. He married, when France
and Italy were so close to each other,
the daughter of King Victor Emmanuel,
The sister of King Umberto, and it was
that she was sacrificed to the
alliance. There are two sons sprung
from this marriage, both pretenders to
70 the throne of France, one representing |
his father and the other-the eldest
Eugene.

THE severe winter Europe is eXper-
iencing is said to have very greatly
damaged its wheat crop. France has
examined the condition of its crop and
found it exceedingly bad with the pros
pect that the crop will be about a
quarter below the normal, which will
neeessitate the importation of more
than twice the 50,000,000 bushels it
usually imports. The other countries
have not yet examined into and reported
their losses, but they have been affected
pretty much the same, and will have to
import very much more than their
normal amount, most of which must
come from this country With reserves
in this country lower than for years, and
foreign demand much larger than for
years, the American farmer is sure of
prices much above the average.

WOMEN WHO PLEASE MEN.

Ladies' Home Journal
Man, in many respects, is peculiar
animal He is easily persuaded by a
woman, but he cannot be driven. A
woman who seeks mans admiration
and says by her demeanOr or by suggest
ion, admire my beauty or my bright
ness,'' is the woman from whom man
will turn quicker than from anything
else. A woman always makes mis-
take when she attempts to force her
beauty or her talents upon manor
upon another woman for that matter.
A woman who seeks admiration al
ways reminds me of hollyhock, con-
spicuous and Haunting, and anxious to
be seen. Now, men never care for hol-
lyhock. 1t is not mans favorite flower.
The violet, or half-blown rose is more
to his taste. Go where there is a COM
pany of well-dressed men, in evening
costume, with boutonieres, and, if in
season, the violet and the rose will be
seen on the lapel of nearly every coat.
And what is true with men of flowers,
is true of what he always associates
with them-women,
A man likes to discover a violet or
rose; he wants to find out its charm
himself; he doesn't wish directory to
aid him in this, and he is very con-
temptuous of the woman who here,
there and everywhere asks his admira-
ton. The women who are popular with
man are the women who impress them
with their womanliness, and by this is
meant that subtle something that says,
Il do not thrust myself forward, but if
you find me you may like me-"
Men have always liked voyages of
discovery. and they like to seek the
ideal woman, and not have her thrust
her greatness upon them.

CULTIVATION OF THE VOICE.

From Harper's Bazar
Every one may not be blessed by
nature with a pleasant voice; but
almost every one can by endeavor at
tain something like 1.-THE inspiration,
the respiration, the modulation, the
pitch. Some may be condemned even
in the cradle to the the tones which
make you wish to clap your hands to
your ears; but vast number, if taken
IN time, can be made, to say the very
least, not unpleasant, if not exactly
delightful. 1t needs early training and
constant care to bring about metamor-
phosis. From the beginning the child
should be allowed to produce no raueous
tones, to indulge in no thick enunciation,
to utter no slovenly slur of sound; the
elders should soften their own voices
when within the child's hearing, if at
no other time, should open their own
most flute-ike stop, and should speak
with slow gentleness and precision not
precise enough for affectation, but quite
enough so for thorough distinctness and
accuracy, and for every sound to be given
its full value. A servant of rude tones
should never be allowed about a child,
or any one else of disagreeable habit
of voice. Even the nightingales and
canaries are taught by another bird of
perfect throat; and if the bird learns
thus by naturally talking the sound it
hears, the child will do the same. A
child once attuned by the hearing and
of sweet voices to take an
pitch, and while the tone
producing organs are still flexible, can
be corrected in deviation from purity
and pleasantness, till the deviation be-
comes all but impossible. This certainly
is not achieved by simple effort; it is
to be done only by unremitting observa-
ton and unceasing correction. A harsh
tone should be modified upon the spot,
a coarse cry abandoned, sharp one
modulations should be taught,
giving the speaker gamut on which to
play and prevent monotomy, for we all
know how uncomfortable is either reading
DR. speaking in one dull unvarying
irOne. 1t is often desirable, especially
n the case of children who have had
throat troubles and recurring catarrhal
colds, to have them taught enuneiation
by professional elocutionist; that is,
,he producing and managing of tone.
There is no young voice that can not
be improved by advice and training at
he hands of one capable of giving both;
his is eminently true during the first
lozen years of life; but it is true, also, :
Until close upon thirtieth years. In the =
natter of singing voices, baritones have
made for themselves tenor voices by
low determination and practice; sopra-
los have closed lower and opened a
higher register; and if such miraculous
work as that has been done with the
lelicate and difficult singing voice,
urely all that can be required of the
peaking voice is possible every day, and
ii that is required is much less than
Inything of this sort. Many of the
great orators of antiquity are known to
laVe overcome serious defects of speech,
either in delivery of the voice, as in
rully's case, OF in articulation, as in the
,ase of Demosthenes. and that when
hey were no longer children

HOW TO CULTIVATE PURITY.

THE THOUGHTS ARE LARGELY WITHIN
THE CONTROL OF THE THINKER.
Eva Kinney Griffith in New York Observer.
To be pure in heart is to have pur,
loves. But that which we love we thinl
about, nor is it possible for US to love
anything without first thinking that We
love it. And we can choose our thoughts
We can sit in Judgment upon them; de
eide which are good and which are evil
retain the good and discard the evil
The secret then of being pure in heart
is to choose and retain pure thoughts.
All, if bewildered humanity only knew
thisl If it only knew that the way out
of its tangle of vice and error was just
to get hold of one pure, good thought,
and cling to it until another came to il
by the law of attraction, and then cling
to that, and so on until evil thoughts
were displaced and temptations disap-
pear because the soul has climbed above
them. But thoughts blossom into act
ion and feeling, and thus our thinking
controls our living. A human being
cannot perform a single action without
first thinking that he will perform it,
nor can he love or hate anything with
out first thinking that he loves or hates
it. He cannot ever feel too warm or too
cold until he first thinks about it. The
wise man truly says that "as a man
thinketh in his heart so is he." We can
not cherish an evil thought without be-
ing hurt by it, nor can we entertain a
pure thought without being helped by
it. So the preacher, teacher, book, pict-
ure or paper that suggests pure thoughts
to the world is benefactor of the race.
! feel profoundly sorry for the soul
that is born in an environment of vice.
sin and ignorance. One is so apt to en-
tertain the thoughts that the surround
ings suggest. Yet after all the soul is
free. If it wills, it can no more be kept
down by unfortunate surroundings than
an eagle can be Gagged by fencing it in
by high walls. As long as the top is
left open the eagle can fly away; and so
the soul fenced in by unhappy encom-
passments can always find a way out if
it takes the upward route. And the
souls freedom lies in its power to think
what it pleases. Circumstances may
control the body and force it to live in
the sight and sound of vice and vulgar
ity; but the sounds may fall unheeded
before the eye, if the mind be occupied
with other things. A poor sewing girl
was once obliged to work in room full
of rude women, where oaths and OBJ
scene language were constantly passing
from mouth to mouth. At first she bent
over her sewing machine with blushing
face. Then she fell to singing as she
worked or repeating pleasant bits of
poetry or prose. After little she OBJ
tanned such perfect control of her
thoughts that she seldom heard what
was going on around her unless person
ally addressed.

A BOYS ESSAY ON TOBACCO.

From Every Thursday.
Tobacco grows something like cabbage,
but never saw any cooked. l have heard
men say that cigars that was given them
election days for nothing was mostly
cabbage leaves. Tobacco stores are
mostly kept by wooden Injuns,who stand
at the door and fool little boys by offer
ing them bunch of cigars which is
glued into the Injun's hands, and is
made of wood also. tried to smoke a
cigar once, and l felt like EPSON salts.
Tobacco was invented by man named
Walter Raleigh. When the people first
saw him smoking they thought he was
a steamboat and were frightened. My
sister Nancy is a girl. l don't know
whether she likes tobacco or not. There
is young man named Leroy who comes
to see her. l guess she likes Leroy. He
was standing on the steps one night,
and he had cigar in his mouth, and
said he didn't know as she would like it,
and she said, Leroy, the perfume is
agreeable" But when my big brother
Tom lighted his pipe Nancy said, "Get
out of the house, you horrid creature;
the smell of tobacco makes me sick"
Snuff is Injun meal made out of to-
bacco took a little snuff once and
then | sneezed.

DAN VOORHEES,, United States Sena-
tor from Indiana, tall sycamore of the
Wabash bottoms, back salary grabber,
etc, says that Grover Cleveland could
not carry Indiana since the PRONUNCIATION
of his silver letter. Congressman Caruth
and Ellis, of Kentucky, express the same
opinion regarding their State. They also
say the next House, being Democratic by
Isl majority, will pass free silver coin
age bill, and that King Grover must
endorse it or stand aside for Hill. 1t is
amusing to follow these emphatic ex-
pressions of Democratic opinion. They
condemn Mr.. Cleveland for entertaining
the views which he expressed while
President, and which they knew he
entertained when they supported him
for re- nomination and reelection. Now
they denounce him as firebrand, an
element of discord, as undemocratic for
adhering to opinions which they recently
applauded as the corner stone of
Democracy.

For all the empty ehaff and sheaf.

Truth keeps the bottom of her well,
And when the thief peeps down, the thief
Peeps back at him, perpetual.
Faint not that this or that man fell;
For one that falls a thousand rise
TO lift white progress to the skies;

Secretary Blaine, inclosing the formal
acceptance of the invitation by NJ.
Ribot, the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, has been received at Washington

quarters at Chicago. In this letter the
French Minister states that ''the gov
ernment of the republic is already occu-
pying itself with the measures necessary
to insure the participation of French
artists and manufacturers in the expo
