After Dinner ~speaaking.

An after dinner speech should never
be wholly facetious, unless the speaker
is very facetious indeed and cuts his
speech short. 1t should not be frivolous,
wen when the speaker is full of frivolity.
It must not under any circumstances be
silly, though there be people who laugh
at stiffness. 1t must not be too long
winded, or highly exciting. or overheavy.
or ultra argumentative. or entirely sta,
t~istical, or in the least %rancorous. An
after dinner speech should be appropriate
to the occasion and delivered on time.
1t may contain ome essential thoughts,
some strokes of humor, some scraps Of
knowledge. some bits of fancy, some
sound reasons, some good whims. some
green dressing and IL little fat.
Every ablebodied man of New York is
apt to be an after dinner speaker some
time in his life. It is possible that as
many as 5000 after dinner speeches have
been made here during one winter sea-
son One man has a record of 10 of them
for a single week. three of them for one
evening.
We have heard some tiptop after din
ner speeches. a few. We have heard
others that were w~earisome, inappropri-
ate, exasperating, enfeebling or foolish.
We have heard several which We're rant
or drivel.
A good many men have won renown
by making clever after dinner speeches.

The Careless American People.

The delays in delivering the electoral
returns of the states to the vice presi-
dent, and the shabby and imperfect con-
dition in which some of them make their
appearance, only illustrate how careless
the American people are about the con-
duct of their elections. The nation works
itself into a perspiration during a cam
paign, and the two parties are ready
apparently to shed each others blood.
But just as soon as the voting is done
with all excitement evaporates, and it is
hardly possible to center public attention
even on the most glazing frauds.
1t some of the efforts spent in cam
paigns were used in securing an honest
return Aof the vote, elections would re-
feet more accurately the will of the
people. There does not appear to be
enough care to see ever that the forms
for electing a president are rightly OBJ
served. Verify the American people trust
a good deal to their common sense

Cheaper to Build a New Road.

The Pennsylvania railroad proposes to
shorten the distance between this city
and New York by constructing a cutoff
25 miles in length from New Brunswick
to a point on the outskirts of Jersey City.
The line was laid out three or four years
ago, and charters were procured cover
ing the route, and last week a license
was taken out for the construction of a
bridge over the Passaic river. The route
is almost a direct line and will avoid the
cities of Railway, Elizabeth and Newark.
It will be used exclusively by express
trains, an improved local service being
established for the convenience of trav-
elers to and from the cities mentioned.
The advantage of the new line consists
not so much in the shortening of the dis
lance, but in the fact that through travel
will not be interfered with by local
trains or municipal restrictions as to the
rate of speed in city limits. An enormous
number of local passenger trains are run
between Jersey City and Railway, and a
great many run through to New Bruins
wick. Although the road is 4-tracked
all the distance the facilities are not ade-
quate, and as it would cost a large sum
to put in two more tracks it has been
decided to build an entirely new road for
25 miles. When this cutoff is completed,
it will be possible to reduce the running
time half an hour.-Philadelphia In

Fast Torpedo boats

The famous torpedo boatbuilder at
Elbing, Schichau, has just attained an
unprecedented speed even for this class
of vessel, torpedo boats built by him
for the Russian and Italian governments
having reached 274 knots on an hours
run at sea. The new British beats are
to be 200 tons displacement, while the
Russian boats are 100 tons, so that the
former may Go better by reason of great
er power and greater size. The length
of Schichau's boat is l52 feet 6 inches,
the beam II feet 5 inches. She may car
ny 40 tons of coal in her bunkers. On
trial, however, she had only 20 tons en-
board. The small guns carried weighed
q tons; the torpedo armament, 8 tons;
the crew, provisions. stores and firearms,
A tons; drinking water. q tons; engine
and boatswain's stores and reserve parts,
A tons; so that all the movable parts
come to 90 tons. making. with coal. 40
tons.
The vessel and the machinery are
therefore very light. The shell plates
are barely a quarter Of an inch thick.
There are two locomotive boilers, pro-
tected by the coal bunkers, supplying
steam at 1875 pounds pressure to h h
speed engines. The guaranteed speed
vas to be 264 knots in the open sea.
while on trial the vessel actually made
274, or, to be precise. 27.4 knots, as a
mean of n hours steaming at sea.
Schichau promises even higher results

An Electric Road For Brussels.

A scheme is well advanced for provid-
ing Brussels with an underground cleo
trio railway similar to the South London
line. The railway will have no fixed
terminus, but will be arranged similar
to the Inner Circle line, having II sta
lions at the most important points of
the city. No locomotives will be en-
ployed, but each train will consist of
only one first and second class composite
bogie carriage, to carry 40 passengers,
with a compartment in front in which
the electric traction gear will be ar
ranged. 1t is proposed to run II such
ars in each direction and to work the
traffic by the automatic electric block
system, as adopted on the Liverpool
Electric railway. The lifts at each sta
ton will be operated by electric power.

Wherewith to turn gray skies to blue;
To make dull hours grow bright as flowers.
And tasks that arc old turn light as new.

From empty hands sweet favors flow,
And pleasures bloom IN lives of gloom
Where naught but sorrow seemed to grow.

His might is sure, and his art is pure,
And his name-the conjurer's name-is Love
