ELOQUENT ORATORS
Some Who Attract Attention in the
Presbyterian Assembly.
A PRIN CETON ATHLETE
Has Developed Into an Earnest and Per-
suasive Advocate of Foreign Missions
How Mr.. Robert e. speer Was Received
Neutrality-suspicious. Men Of Prominence.

One Of the most remarkable and interesting
scenes yet witnessed on the platform Of the
assembly was the appearance yesterday morn
ing Of Mr.. Robert E. Speer, the assistant secre-
tary Of the board Of foreign missions. The re-
port Of the board was the order Of the day for
10 o'clock. but they yielded the time for awhile
to the committee on aid to colleges, whose re-
port was read by Rev. DR.. Charles A. Dickey.
followed DR.. Herrick johnson read the report
Of the assembly's committee on foreign mis-
sions and when he closed he introduced Mr.
Speer to speak for the board. In welcoming
him to the platform the moderator referred in
most earnest and fattering terms to the won-
derful success that Mr.. Speer has had among
young men, a success that has made his name
known throughout the length and breadth Of
the land. DR.. Craig said that the accession of
such young men Of brains and devotion was
one Of the greatest blessings to the church and
. promise Of greater blessings to come.
Although Mr.. Speer has been but four years
ont OF Princeton he has already made for him
self reputation rs an eloquent and persuasive
orator, q reputation that he we'll maintained by
his effort yesterday. He spoke for upward Of
an hour and kept the closest attention of his
hearers all the time. When he stepped out
upon the platform to commence his address he
was greeted with applause, and when he con-
cluded the applause was enthusiastic and con-
tinuous and was only relieved by an earnest
prayer and the singing Of a missionary hymn.
Notwithstanding he has been connected with
the actual work Of the board for such q short
time Mr.. Speer showed the greatest familiarity
with the methods and needs Of the body and
his appeal for a more devoted conservation to
the work was by long odds the most stirring
and imprisoned address yet heard before the
assembly.

sCHOOL-ROYHE ROIsM.

Two BOYS were in a school-room,
alone together, when some fireworks
contrary to the masters prohibition
exploded The one boy denied it; the
other, Bonnie Christie, would neither
admit or deny it, and was severely
fiogged for his obstinacy. When the
two boys got alone again, why dldn
YOU deny it p asked.the delinq uent.
Because there were only we two,
and one of Us must have told u
falsehood,n said Bonnie.
Then why did you not say that L
did it ~
Because you said you didn't and l
would share the falsehood."
The boys heart melted, Bennie' 5
moral gallantry subdued him.
When the school resumed, the young
rogue marched up to the master $
desk. and said: please, sir, l can't
bear to be q liar-I let oil the Squibs,
and burst into tears.
The masters eyes glistened on the
the self-accuser, and the unmerlted
punishment he had inflicted on his
school-mate smote his conscience
Before the whole school, hand in hand
with the culprit, as if the two were
paired in the confession, the master
walked down to where young Christie
sat, and said aloud:
"Bennie, Bonnie, lad, he and | beg
your pardon-we are both t. blame y
The school was hushed and still, as
older scholars are apt to be when
something true and noble is being
done-so still, they might have heard
Bennie's big, boy tears drop proudly
on his book as he sat enjoying the
moral triumph which subdued him
self, as we'll as filled all the rest; and
then, for want of something else tC
say, he gently cried:
master, forever
The GLORIOUS shout of the scholars
filed the old mans eyes with some
thing behind his spectacles, which
made him wipe them before he resum
ed the chair

OTIRBLES OF THE LAW,

A man was indicted for burglary,
so the story goes, and the evidence
clearly proved that he had cut hole
through tent in which several per-
sons were sleeping, and then, insert
ing his head and arm through the
hole, had abstracted from the tent
several articles of considerable value.
1t was argued by the prisoners
counsel that inasmuch as the man had
not actually entered the tent with his
entire body, he had not committed
the offence charged. and therefore
must be discharged.
The judge, in his charge to the jury,
told them that III case they were not
satisfied that the whole man was in
volved in the crime, they might bring
in q verdict of guilty against as much
of him as was thus involved. The
jury, after a short period of considera-
ton, found the right arm, the right
shoulder and the head of the prisoner
guilty of burglary.
Thereupon the judge sentenced the
right arm. the right shoulder and the
head of the prisoner to imprisonment
at hard labor in the State prison for
two years, remarking, with half
glance at the discounted counsel, that
as to the rest of his body he might do
with it whatever he pleased.

THE HUlluING or TELEGRAPH
WIRES

From the Boston journal of Commerce.
You have all heard the hummiug
and singing of telegraph and tele-
phone wires as you passed the poles
along the streets. No doubt you
have concluded that it is caused by
the action of the wind on the wires,
and given it no further thought. But
it is not true that the singing is caused
by the wind, and, if you are at all OBJ
serving, you will notice that often the
humming sound is to be heard on cold
winter mornings, when the smoke
from chimneys goes straight up until
it is lost in the clouds, and when the
frost on the wires is as fuzzy and thick
as roll of chenille fringe.
The wind has nothing to do with
the sound, and, according to an Aus
trian scientist, the vibrations are
due to the changes of atmospheric
temperature, and especially through
the action of cold, as lowering of
temperature induces a shortening of
the wires extending over the whole of
the conductor. 4 considerable amount
of friction is produced on the support
ing bells, thus inducing sounds both
on the wires and the poles.
When this humming has been going
on birds have mistaken the sound for
insects inside the poles, and have been
seen to peck with their bills on the
outside as they do upon the apple and
other trees. The story is told of a
bear that mistook the humming noise
rs coming from nest of bees, and
| clawed at thespole and tore away the
stones as its base in the hope of find
ing the much-coVeted honey.

| IRREGULARITIES OF THE GULF
STREAM.

This river is very warm because it
comes from the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean sea, where the sun has
been heating it for a long time. Of
course after it has left its southern
home, and is making its journey across
the Atlantic, it is gradually becoming
cooler, but, nevertheless, it maintains,
to the shores of Europe, even well up
toward the Arctic regions, Il much
higher temperature than that of the
surrounding air or water.
1t has its own finny inhabitants and
other animal life; curious little f1sh
and crabs that make nests in the
floating seaweed; beautiful little jelly
fish called thimble fish, floating or
swimming near its surface in such
countless numbers that at times the
waters are brown with them; and the
graceful flying fish, which dart out OF
| the water in schools; and countless
myriads of minute animal life floating
| about: so that when the sun is shin
| ing high in the heavens, the water
seems to be filled with notes. These
| little things, dying, sink to the bot
! tom, and their diminutive skeletons
| or shells go to form an ooZe, which, Il
| exposed to the air and to pressure, re
seInbles chalk.
This ocean river is quite unlike the
rivers of the land in point OF size
The Mississippi, at Il point below it
lowest tributary, is about 1000 fee
wide and 100 feet deep. At places i
is wider than this, but there it is shall
| lower. The Gulf stream, at its mar
rowest point in the Strait of Florida
is more than 1000 feet deep and ovel
40 miles wide.-Lieut. j. b. PiUS6ury

MIS- EREIsE,

Deep in the churchyard green with springs
fresh gladness
1 hear the strokes that mark the noontide
hour;
Dark yew trees stand in immemorial sadness,
And ivy girds the gray old Norman tower.
And while the lark above is never weary,
Outpouring clear his midday ecstacy,
My eyes are bent upon the "Miserere"
That from a tineworn stone looks up at me.
No word but this; naught yields faint sugges-
ton
OF man or woman, or of young or old;
Yet here there sleeps beyond all doubt or ques-
ton
Some tragic story to the world untold.
Vain all the minds conjectures and surmises
Before so sad an cpitaph as this;
And yet the thought resistlessly rises,
Of faith forsworn, and perjured loves abyss
OF, long heart-struggle and self-immolation
In ways where tired and wounded feet must
wend,
OF cruel trial and supreme temptation,
And then the enshrouding darkness of the
end.
Thus to a wanderer doth the mournful PITY
Plead mutely DER the unrecorded dead;
Oh, may the soul have reached that peaceful
city
Where ne'er Il 'Miserere'' need be saidl

When Admiral de Horsey, who some
years ago had command of the British
fleet in the Pacific, was admiral OF the
north Atlantic squadron, he was one
evening dining on shore at Port Royal,
Jamaica. On returning to his flag
shin alone after dinner his way to the
boat led across the barrack square.
A black sentry of one of the West
India regiments halted him at the
gate with WHO goes dar?' Great
was the admirals annoyance to find
that he had neglected to get the pass
word before leaving the ship. That's
all right" he said carelessly, hoping
to overcome the mans scrupies by in
difference. You know who | am. "
"Dunno nobody, sar," replied the
man pompously. You can't go in
dar.n "Why, I'm Admiral de Hor..
