MEMORIES OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
Curtis Guild Tells of Him in the Bos.
to Commercial Bulletin.

| shall always remember the first
time | saw Mr.. Webster, and the i'm
preston he made upon my then very
youthful mind. 1t was at gathering
in Faneuil hall. AS he rose and
stepped forward amid tumuItuous APP
plauSe, | noted the broad chest across
which the blue coat was fastened with
shining brass buttons; his large head
broad forehead, cavernOuS eye sockets,
in which shore the deep, solemn-look
ing dark eyes; his tirm-set lip, and
ponderous jaw. And when the solemn
hush fell Oh the assembly as he
stretched forth his right hand and be
gan, the deep melodious voice rang
through the hall like the musical bass
notes of church organ, his enuncia-
ton clear, emphatic, strong, and the
compass of his voice filled the whole
hall.
He fairly reveled in magnificent Sell
fences of powerful thought, which, as
Everett says, Towering in accumula
tive grandeur, one above the other, as
if the orator Strove, Titan-like, to
reach the very heavens themselves"
How the schoolboys Of my day de
lighted to try their powers of elOcution
on his supposed speech of John
Adams, beginning with Sink or swim,
live or die, survive or perish and
ending with those lines so delightful
to the American scloolboy's heart: 1T
is my living sentiment, and, by the
bic ssing Of God, it shall be my dying
sentiment: Independence now, indie
pcndence forever"
And did we not bring out that IN
dependence toreyer! as if we meant
it as heartily as ever did Webster or
John Adams himself? The reply to
Mr.. Hayne and his enconium Oh Mas
sachusctts will not be forgotten as
long as the old Bay State shall remain
in existence, Dor will any loyal Amcll-
can ever forget the solemn and sig.
nilicant words; when my eyes shall
be turned to behold for the last time
the sun in heaven, may | not see him
shining on the broken and diShOnOred
fragments of Il once glorious union.
Let their last feeble and lingering
glance rather behold the gorgeous en-
sign of the republic now known and
honOred throughout the earth not
Il stripe erased or polluted nor Il single
star obSGurcd, bearing for its motto
no such miserable intrrrogatOry as
What is all this WORTH Nor those
other words of Liberty first and union
aftcrward,' but everywhere spread all
ever in charactuS Of living light, blaZ-
ing ON all its ample folds as they float
over the sea- and over the land and in
every wind under the whole heavens,
that other sentiment dear to every
American heart, Liberty and union,
now and forever, one and INSOFAR
able.
1t is such grand utteranccs as these
that rouse patriotism, strengthen 10y
atty, and awaken dormant faculties
into earnest activity. Webstcr'S words
in many of his glcat speeches were
framed into such sentences of intel
lcctual strength and Vitality as have
caused them to live as uttrrances OF
sublime truth, to become Il part of
standard literature, and perpetual
Suur to noble deeds.

THE SLEEPING-CAR.
Mr. pullman's Career, Which Has Es
pecial Interest Just Now.

The life of George NJ, Pullman is
typically American. With little capt
tai or early advantages, he had what
was better, that gift of seeing what
people need which is II high form OF
genius, and an indomitahle perScvcr-
ance which paused at no obstacles.
He was born at BroCton, y. y, and It
the age of II moved to Albion in the
same state, whrr" he also resided II
years. He went to Chicago in 1854,
being interested in project then All
tatcd for raising the city eight feet
to provide for sewerage, and by his
skiltul engineering trehled the 5000
he had accumulated. At this time
he went INTO the sleeping car business
on the Alton road with one Field, and
as the outlook became dubious at the
opening of the war, Field sold his
share 10 his partner. Business picked
M to an unexpected degree, and the
service became profitable in spite Of
the wretehed cars, which were then
the only ones in existence. The first
ones with which he experimental GA
the Alton road We're simply two ordi-
nary passenger coaches in
which were three shelves,
one above the other, 10 cents
being charged for bunk. In this
connection ii is interesting to note
how Mr. Pullman first met his future
rival, Wagner. He was going from
Rochester to Albany in Il sleeper and
he heard some one say. Wagner. why
don't you fix up the beds in Your
sleepng-carS? Out west they give n
man mattress. sheets and a blanket
and make him think he is sleeping at
home" YES" said Wagner, some
darned fool is doing that sort OF hing,
Ii he keeps on he will spoil til bust
ness"
Mr.. Pullman kept on, howevrl. aud
did not spoil the business either All
slccping.ear So that it could also be
used as day coach, The pan Of
shutting the upper berth up AGAINST
the ceiling and using it TO hold the
bedding finally suggested itSe T. but
seemed impracticable for lack OF room.
The cars had no raised decks" or
roofs then. He finally decided, IN
spite of the SCOTS of railroad men, to
build car foot wider and ; = feet
higher than any that had been built
in the country, and TO make the ex-
pertinent convincing and to DEFY COM

TRICKY WOMEN SHOPPERS.
why ShopIierprrs DO Not Like TO Sell
Goods ION Approval"

People often wonder why the large
dry goods stores do not like to send
things homo "on APPROVAL 1t is II
great convenience TO the shopper, who
for many reasons cannot decide upon
her purchase, to try on the ARTIFICIAL
home or to submit il to the inSpcc-
ton OF "A husband or some other inter
cStrd member of the household,
But dry goods men are getting more
and more wary Of people who request
things sent home on approval. And
some Of them positively refuse these
requests, unless the shopper or her
family be personally known or have
an account at the store. One of the
leading statesmen in Il large and we'll
known brooklyn establishment gave
the following explanation the other
day to IN old customer:
People would not be surprised that
we object to sending things on ap-
prevail IL they knew the ms and outs
OF the affair 1t Is difficult for those
of good principles and naturally hon
est to realize that people can stoop
to such mcanncss and deliberately
aud Intentionally take advantage of
our desire to please the public. Yet 1t
is well known to all men In our bust
ness that il is not al uncommon thing
for women to have goods sent home
ON approval with no idea OF purchas-
ing, but simply to use them for some
particular occasion, Il wedding, thea.
tor or receptions returning them IN q
few days AS unsatisfactory in some
particulars \ society woman ordered
an cl"-,,,,t aud expensive wrap made

made IA selection for the wrap from

and competent hands according to di-
recuouS given Ivy the customer and
was truly work OF art when Tin

few days came back the woman in

In the meantime one of the girls
of the workroom where the wrap was
made had been to Il church wedding
and recognized the customer wearing
the Identical wrap, There is no qucs-
ton, OF course, that she wished to
obtain the garment for that particular
occasion without paying for it.
In another instance an old Gus.

A GAME OF HEARTS.
The Pink Dinner the Fashionable Fad
of the Hour.

A pretty conceit, now that pink is 4
fashionable tone fol dinners and teas,
is to give a pink heart dinner. The
table may be heart-ShaDed and covered
with pink damask if the dinner is
given to a dehutantc after the close
Of her first season. Around the pink
cloth a vine of smilaX may be twined.
within and without the covers, with
cut flowers streWn cHrclcssly across
the corners. The lamp must be pink
shaded and wound with SmilaX and y
bunch Of pink blossoms tied half way
up the standard. Pink carnations,
clustered with smlaX, make beautiful
corsage bouquets for the ladies, and
should be placed at each plate; sin
gle carnation might offer its rosy
sweetness at each mans cover.
AS this is pink dinner. and a heart
one at that, the idea may be further
elaborated by having the Il rrcr cards
every napkin nestle two hearts of
bread tied with pink ribbons, and have
the ices served in pink. heart-shaped
boxes, on the corners of which a sin
gle carnation or n bit of Smilax may
be fastened 70 conclude this pretty
conceit in dinner decorations let the
men find in the dressing room pink
heart-shaped cards tied two together
with knots of pink ribbons, and have
one OF the cards bear the mans name
and the other the name of the lady
to whose escort he will be assigned.
This idea serves well for a hearts
luncheon" the game being played dur.
ing the evening.
