Here Mr.. Townsend, who believes In
American oratory, as he does in every
thing else American, went over the list Of
great men whom be had heard. Ignoring
many of them, Colonel Ingersoll SAID in
his epigrammatic way: II concede the
supreme ability of Beecher and the great
natural force of Corwin. Webster lacked
sincerity, Phillips was thorn rather than

attributes, but lacked thought; Kossuth |

given to the nineteenth century. A hand
some presence and a graceful manner are
of great advantage. particularly where the
speaker is addressing strange audience :;
but l think these physical advantages
have been overestimated. Sheridan was
not prepossessing, Grattan was under
sized, awkward and apt to excite ridicule
at the beginning of an address. The same
is true of Curran. Prentiss was boyish
and lame, CorwIn dark as an Indian and
far from handsome. And so 1 might go
through the list to prove that the fore
most orators have not been handsome

painful sameness in them that reflects no
credit on the white authors. The Irish
talk well. but their orators, like their
poets, are not the greatest. Curran gave

English tongue. Danton to my m ind was

that husband and wife shall not be en-
ployed at the same time in the civil service
at Washington. Many such cases have
been found out. and the recent investiga-
ton of the Congressional committee will
probably lead to some changes in this re-
spect. According to its report there were
twenty-f0ur husbands and wives drawing
salaries from Uncle Sam, which the hus-
bands and wives who are out of work and
have no job at all think isdecidedly un-
fair.
Does Uncle Sam really pay good wages?
To hear some of the clerks talk about
the matter you would think he does not.
and. perhaIs, in proportion to the amount
Of responsibility involved, they receive
small salaries. One clerk tells me that
the big men Of the departments have the
softesi places and the most money. while
the poorly paid clerks do the work. There
is no doubt that many $1,000 clerk does
the same work for which another clerk is
paid $1,000 land S1400. and many a
woman at $500 is doing thoroughly
work which S14o0 man is half doing
as her side. Still $1,000 is pretty
good pay, and the chief objection
to- these Government positions is
that the employees have little CHARGE to
rise. They may get up to S14OO, $1,000 and

his wife, VIII Se features were Venus-like
in their beauty, in a Government depart

Robert j. Walker, a former Secretary of
the Treasury, and as she sat at her desk
one day in the Treasury Department the
future Aitorney-General walked through
the room. She made some remark about
his LONELINESS. / do not know whether
Brewster overheard it or not, but he saw
her. aud with him it was case of love at
first sight. He soughI an introduction and
shortly afterward offered her his hand
and his wealth. and his name for her
self and her children. 1t is said that he
proposed to her in words something Ike
