That Brings Success tn Oratorv.

In the forum and upon the rostrum
the forensic triumphs of Congressman
w. G. P. Breckenridge have been many.
He has for years been one of the promi-
nent speakers of Kentucky and the ma
ton. Whether in debates on political
questions, or addresses upon miscelane-
Gus subjects, he is a successful speaker,
and one who carries an audience with
him by the force, the vim, as we'll as the
eloquence which marks his addresses
81 ascribe whatever of success may have
had as public speaker" he said recently
to a Kansas City Star reporter, "to hard
work-deuced hard work, sir. You may
take any successful speaker. wheth-
er at the bar, or on the rostrum, in the
lecture room or the pulpit, and you will
find that he is hard student and work.
er. OF course, mean one who has been
successful, for not two or three or four
years, but for term of years. have
no method especially of preparing for
public speaking, except that l always
try to know more about the subject on
which am talking than any one who
hears me, and ! 90 into the subject as a
worker would enter upon daily task
which it was to his interest to perform a
little better and in a more workmanship
style than any of his colaborers. used
to think that the late Senator Beck, OF
Kentucky, was the fastest speaker on
earth. He used to remind me of dog
rolling ball. Occasionally he would,
in his eagerness, get little ahead of the
subject and would have TO retrace his
steps. We once spoke together in Ken
lucky, and our speeches were reported in
full. Beck spoke an hour, while | talked
straight ahead for forty minutes. In the
published reports my speech was half a
column longer than his. In ten minutes
Beck could say more than any living
man, but in an hours talk | was nearly
fifty per cent faster"

In Oriental Bmnco came.

One of the cleverest and yet most SIM
pie bunco games ever accomplished was
worked by Nadir Shah, a robber, who
became king of Persia, and subsequently
conquered great part Of India about a
century and half ago. During his
progress through the latter country he
defeated the Tartar King of Delhi, and
after appropriating everything in sight,
he graciously offered to reinstate the fall
en- monarch as his representative and
vassal.
The king accepted with alacrity, and
the two swore eternal friendship, and ser
vice and protection respectively.
An elaborate ceremony was arranged
to celebrate the event, and the Tartar
chief made his appearance at the proper
time, dressed in all the magnifcence he
could muster, but there was thatoabout
him which made the conquerer start, for,
blazing in his turban was diamond such
as Persian eyes had never looked upon
before. 1t was in fact no less than the
famous Koh-i-noor, or mountain Of light.
Nadir Shah was overcome with morti-
fcation and regret that he should have
left such a gem in the kings possession,
but he could not consistently plunder the
man he had just promised to protect.
At last an idea struck him. There
was an ancient and oriental custom of ex-
changing turbans as token of amity.
Nadir at Ole put ii into practice. He
removed his own handsome headgear,
and rendered it to the other. The Tartar
could not refuse this mark of eondesceu-
sion, and so he accepted Nadir's turban,
handed over his own, aud the mountain
of light passed away from Delhi forever.

Across THE WAY.
Though ev'ry day

Sweet debonair,
With golden hair
And charming indecision.

While she in turn,
Doth me discern
When'er a watch I'm keeping.
Though ev'ry day
Across the way,
Whater has been. the weather,
Through summers glow,
And winters snow
Our thoughts have been together.
Yet when we meot
Upon the street
We recognition smother,
Because you see,
Unhappily,
We do not know each other.

An Interesting Question.

The United States Senate is now con-
fronted With an interesting question con-
cerning its own membership. 1t is called
upon to decide whether self-confessed
embezzler is fit to be Senator, to associ-
ate on equal terms with the respectable
members of that body, to pass upon the
competency and character Of nominees
for public Office and to take part in max
ing laws for the people of the United
States.
1t seems that Mr.. VIM. N. Roach. the
new Democratic Senator from North Dako-
to, was, some twelve years ago, o resi-
dent OF Washington city and the cashier
of the Citizens National Bank Of that
place. While filing that position he stole
about S64, 900 Of the Banks money, falsify-
ing the books to hide his peculations
The true state of affairs was finally dis
covered by the other officers Of the Bank,
but the embezzler was allowed to escape
without prosecution on the payment Ia
the institution of about $4,000, 5000
of this sum being paid by his father-in-
law. who was one Of the sureties on his
bond. Roach afterward went to North
Dakota for the benefit of both his fortune
and his personal reputation, became a
star-route conductor and went into politics
and now turns up at Washington as Sen
ator from that State. He denies none oi
the essential facts as stated above, but
affects to think their republication il
prompted solely by partisan malignity
He says, too, that the other Democratic
Senators advise him to pay no attention tc
the charges.
Other Senator's have at times been
charged with financial crookedness quite
as disgracefLl as that laid at the Dakots
Senator's door, but we believe no othel
Senator ever admitted the truth Of such
charges In this respect Mr.. Roach'i
case is unique; and it remains to be seer
whether on reflection the members O
one of the first legislative bodies IN thu
world will conclude that a Senatoria
commission is potent enough to purify thu
personal reputation Of an undoubted EN-
bezzler.

ED. OF CITIZEN:-For those whom it
may interest, / herewith submit short
and final account of the above named
school.
The winter term began October 18th,
1872. and closed March Goth, '93. Although
sickness, remoteness from the school
house, and the severity OF the weather in
terfeIred with the attendance, the aver
erage percent of attendance during the
term Is sS. The progress Of the school
was good, and the scholars deserve their
share of the credit, for the majority Of
them seemed TO understand why they go
to school. During the last, or fifth month,
Walter Weigle, Howard Albir, Effie
Shanor, Mollie English, Belle Hays, Edna
Hays and Annie Dunn missed no days,
while Newton Nicely, Lille Albin, and
Maggie Shanor missed one day each
Feffie Shanor and Edna Hays missed no
days in the term, and Maggie Shanor and
Il Il al ian Hays missed but one day each.
Visitors last month: Charlie Hoeter,
Clarence Dunn, Edward Sickle, Myrtle
Weigle, John Scott, John Weigle, Zella
McKinnis, Della W eigle, James Scott and

return my thanks to all the scholars for
their kindness and regards; to the parents
for the interest they manifested in the
school; and to the directors for their aid
and suggestions, and especially to the di-
rector of the school, J. Park Hays, who
