NOISE And CONFUSION"
A Remarkable Speech Made by PreSi.
Dental Candidate.

A correspondent of THE CALL, writing
from Cleveland, Ohio. recalls remarkable
speech delivered in that city during Pres
dental campaign, nearly half century
ago, which was fated to have a more far
reaching effect than the speaker imagined.
In 1S48, writes cur correspondent, Lewis
Cass, the Democratic candidate for Presl-
dent, came to Cleveland, and that same day
the Free-soilers were holding previously
called mass-meeting on the lubhc square,
where we had a temporary platform for our
speakers. On this platform we had some
banners with very expressive sentiments
lettered on them, one of which was: No
Compromise With Shareholders ard Dough-
faces"
The procession that escorted Cass came
directly by our speakers stand, headed by
a brass band, which, for time. entirely In
terrupted our proceedings. L proposed that
we should aid in escorting Mr.. Cass down.

sQuarely In front of the hotel balcony, on
which Judge Reuben Wood, better known
afterward as Governor Wood, presented
General Cass TO the audience. In his pres
entation speech and welcome to the city,
Judge Wood said:
ut may not be improper for me, sir, to
allude to one more topic which is, especially
to this immediate district. topic of the
deepest INTEREST," refer TO the institution
Of slavery. We are told, sir, that should
you secure the election to the Presidency OF
the United States. your administration
would lend its influence to the extension
and perpetuation of human slavery. The
people here assembled will, with the greatest
pleasure, now listen to any communication
which, sir, it may be your pleasure to sub
nit
Judge Wood was strong Anti-Slavery
Democrat, as were many of General Cass'
audience, and was anxious to turn that sem
timent. so prevalent in the North. against
General Zachary Taylor, who was the Wing
candidate for President 1t was then and
there that General Cass made his famous

same time made large number of Free
soil voters out of lifelong Demo rats.
General CaSs' reply was as follows: ''Sir,
the noise and confusion which peryades this
assembly will prevent my being heard on
the important topics to which you have
tent myself with thanking you for the gen.

your hands"

The Vanishing Couple.

A fashion safe to stamp a young girl
in general society as but i'll equipped
with knowledge of good form is that of
vanishing" in company with her at
tendant after dance and remaining in
unfrequented corners until remark is
thereby created. Such is the young wo-
man whose chaperon is in continual spec
ulation as to her whereabouts or else In
active exercise to find her. She is no
doubt often innocent of intention to Of
fend, but at large and mixed entertain
ments the better part of wisdom in wo-
man is to keep in view of her fellows.
A witty Frenchwoman, Nine. de Gira,
din, once wrote: "Amuse yourselves, o
young beauties, but futter your wings
in the broad light of day. Avoid shad-
ows in which suspicion hides" The
vanishing woman" act should be linn
tied in performance to platform in full
view of the audience. The prompt re-
turn of young woman to the side OF
vicinity of her chaperon after dancing is
not only a graceful and we'll bred action,
but affords an opportunity to the man,
who too often is embarrassed in this re-
spect, to withdraw and fulfill some other
engagement. Home Journal.

Why Milk Differs in Quality.

Milk is more susceptible to changes
from the normal condition than any
other food product. The first class of
changes has been brought about by the
action of breeders. By many years of
attention to breeding for fat production,
it is now possible to get milk which may
be twice as rich as the normal. On the
other hand, other breeders have paid
especial attention to production of large
quantity, even at the expense of quality,
until pure milk is sometimes produced
having as low as 10 per cent. of solids,
when the normal is 10 per cent.
A second set of causes which influence
the quality of milk grows out of the ig-
norance or carelessness of the producer
or seller. Where the persons held the
exploded idea Of the value of one cows
milk for children anything in the treat
ment of the COW which affects its nervous
temperament may unfit it for food for
very young children. Uncleanliness or
neglect is often grave source of trouble
in the handling of milk, not only on &C
count of the possibilities of the addition
of visible filth, but because milk is pc
culiarly susceptible to odor, various
kinds Of bacteria and disease germs.
Epidemics Of scarlet fever and typhoid
fever have been traceable to the milk
supply, unclean cans and other utensils,
and particularly to propagating bacteria.

Two Kinds of Pears.

1t is remarkable that although new
fruits come to the front every year there
is not pear yet that has been able to
take the place of the Bartlett or the
Seckel. The Bartlett is European sort,
originating in England and named there
Williams Bon Curetien. 1t was intro.
duced into this country. and its name
getting lost it was named Bartlett, after
the man in whose garden II was when
its excellent qualities were discovered.
The Seckel is a native, chance seeding
found growing near the Schuylkill river,
Philadelphia, and the original tree still
stands and bears fruit.
The Bartlett is in season throughout
September, the Seckel from the close of
September and through October. These
two kinds are no exception to the rule
that the quality of all pears increases in
value as the trees get older. The fruit
from full grown Seckel pear tree, for
instance, is far superior to that from a
tree fruiting for the first ime.-Practi-
cal Farmer.

A Small Legal Fee.

The smallest fee ever taken by an Eng.
lish counsel was sixpence, that fee hav.
ing on one occasion been taken by the
late Sir John Holker. Barristers' fees
were in olden times much less than
those now paid. An entry occurs in the
church wardens' accounts of st. Mar.
garet's, Westminster, for 1476, showing
that a fee of three shillings and eight.
pence, with fourpence for his dinner,
was paid to Robert Fylpott, counsel
learned in the law, for his advice.
In Mares GLOSSARY" barrister's fee
was stated to be an angel, or ten shil.

figures to the 600 guineas paid to Sill

Absence of Real Children in Literature


The wise mentors in conventional lit
erature virtually tell you that child liter
allure wants no real children in it; that
the real child's example of defective
grammar and lack of elegant department
would furnish to its little patrician pa
irons suggestions very hurtful indeed to
their higher morals, tendencies and am
billions. Then, although the general pub
lie couldn't for the life of it see why or
how, and might even be reminded that
it was just such rowdying child
itself, and that it's father-the father
of his country-was just such child.
that Abraham Lincoln was just such
a lovable, lawless child, all-all of
this argument would avail not in
the least, since the elegantly minded
purveyors of child literature cannot pos
sibly tolerate the presence of any but the
refined children-the very proper chill
dren-the studiously thoughtful, poetic
children-and these must be kept safe
from the communicating touch of our
rough and tumble little fellows in "hod-
den gray" with frowzy heads, begrimed
but laughing faces, and such awful,
awful vulgarities of naturalness, and
crimes of simplicity, and brazen faith
and trust, and love of life and everybody

Didn't Like the Weapons.

of auditors
'Tell us about it," said they as one
man.
"When I was about thirty" he con-
tinued, 81 hung out my single in
small town in a southern state, and be-
ing from the north I did not receive at
first the agreeable recognition expect
ed. In fact there was one blatherskite
of fellow who made himself so OBJ
noxious that one day slapped his jaws.
This brought all the respectable people
of the community over to my side, and
was feeling pretty good for three or four
days, when the bottom was knocked out
of it all by my receiving challenge
from Mr.. Blatherskite. If there was
anything more than another that didn't
want to do it was to fight duel, and
tried to get out of it some way, but
couldn't, and finally accepted his chal-
lenge and chose doubled barreled shot
guns at ten PAGES. 1 didn't hear any
thing from my man for twenty-four
hours, and then had a personal call
from him.
"I have come in, he said after few
preliminary remarks, ito make state
ment about this duel. What I've got to
say is that shotguns are too doggoned
mortuary for me, and if you have no OBJ
jections I'll apologize and call it square,

Raphaers Theological Yfrtne

1t is vain to accuse Raphael, as did
certain of his contemporaries, of not
having sufficient theological virtue, in
asmuch as he painted virgins that were
too humanity adorable. Raphael con-
formed his painting to his ideas and his
sentiments. He expressed his soul, just
as Lippo Lippi, Botticelli, Mantegna,
Bellini and Perugino expressed their
souls, each one differently, and in man
ner characteristic of his more or less
complex personality; and, as regards
each one of them, the degree of our ad-
miration and sympathy depends upon
the temperament and culture Of our
own souls.-Theodore Child in Harper's.
