AFRIEND OF the late Bishop Brooks
authorizes the statement that the
current reports as to his wealth are
wholly without foundation. The only
use which DR.. Brooks cared to make
of money was to distribute it among
those who needed it and his daily life
was marked by open-handed and ten
der charity. So far was he from u.s.
ing his talents as a means of accumu-
lating property that at the time OF
his death he had not sufficient income
beyond his salary to support his sim
pie and unassuming manner Of life.

Blaine and C0nkling.

MACK, In The st. Louis Globe
Democrat: "The standpoint alters
the view," as the German proverb
says; and so in attempting to esti.
mate the intellectual qualities OF
Blaine and Conkling the difficulty is
to find the common standpoint from
which to take the view. 1t is like try
ing to make an equation between
Rembrandt and Michael Angelo in
art, or between Gibbon and Macau-
lay in history. Each was supreme in
his sphere, but neither could have
succeeded in an encroachment upon
the sphere OF the other. If the meas
ure Of success in ohe highest form OF
oratory be the test of intellectual
greatness, Conkling was vastly the su-
perior Of Blaine; if, however, we ac-
cept the lower form of test, which may
be denominated the art OF speaking
to the unthinking multitude, Blaine
was the superior of Conkling. Blaine
was an admirable debater; Conkling
could debate only with q shower of
epigrams, in the constructor OF which
time and generalization were essen
tial elements. Conkling could not
have made the admirable series of
short speeches with which Blaine
adorned the campaign OF 1884.
Blaine could have prepared, but he
never could have prepared and deliv-
cred as Conkling prepared and deliv-
Grad a pa
Grant at Chicago in 1880. In that
delivery Conkling showed the grace.of
Booth in Hamlet combined with the
eloQuence of Wallack in Mark Anto-
ny. AS he stood upon a reporters
table on Il level with the heads of his
audience. a soul ptor could not have
improved the symmetry of his form,
and the measured words, AS they fell
from his lips seemed to have been
made for each other as well as for the
occasion. Altogether, that speech
was thing to be seen rather than to
be heard. [ have often thought that
if a blind man who could hear and a
deaf man who could see had been sit
ting side by sidein front OF the orator
that evening the deaf man would have
received more enjoyment through his
eyes than the blind man through his
ears. | know of no memorable speech
of recent times in which so much is
absent to one who reads that was
present to him who heard. Inger-
soils "plumed knight" speech at Gin
cinnati loses nothing by transfer to
type; but Conkling's "when asked
what state he halls from" is reduced
by the art of printing to the dullness
of champagne that has stood in a
glass over night, compared with the
bubbllng etfervescence with which it
fell upon the immense audience to
which it was addressed.
Gan orator to be really great must
thoroughly despise his audience" we
are somewhere told. Conkling be-
lieved this. He was the Coriolanus
of the forum. He started out in a
speech to extort unwilling admira
ton. and generally succeeded. Mr..
Blaine started out to WOO the affect
ions Of his hearers, and he never
failed. Conklingcould not have writ

Years in Congress" He might have
writ ten a greater book, with higher
aim and with Il loftier purpose, but
he never could have called into SER

Scene ut n Dutch KERN ess i.

On the second day the crowd really
begins to swarm, and by evening all the
avenues of the lair are damned. The
gasoline lamps shed haring light over
the sea Of heads; the hurdy -gurdies of
the different merry -go.rounds try to
drown one another; the managers of the
theatres, with their companies in tights
and spangles on the platforms beside
them, are bawling through speaking
trumpets descriptions of the wonderful
pieces about to be performed inside, &C.
casionally giving short sketches as allur-
ing samples; parties of young peasants
and their sweethearts "c1argc" through
the crowd. This "charge," which is
peculiarly Dutch, is accomplished by
from ten to twenty persons LOCKING arms,
with the weight forward, and acting on
the principle of battering ram. 1t is
very effective, and will open lane
through the densest throng. The
C 'argers sing c'icerfully during the OH
set, and the collisions arc generally taken
as neat bits of pleasantly. When the
Chargers reach, or have created, com.

and jump up and down, shouting,
