mated to friend that if6called upon
he would like to talk, and the friend
out of courtesy mentioned the matter
to the President of the meeting and ex-
planned to him that Mr.. Fitch had
quite reputation in the West as an
orator, and asked him at some favor
able moment to call him forward.
Short speeches were the order of the
evening. Fitch talked fifteen minutes
and was going to stop, when the crowd
cried to him to 60 on, and there were
no more orators that showed them
selves that evening. Fitch carried the
house by storm. Away back when he
was a boy and in great trouble, he took
a steerage passage from New York to
San Francisco. The ship sailed from
New York the last of June, SO the
Fourth of July found the voyagers on
the Pacific. On the night before the
Fourth, some of the steerage passen-
gers suggested that they celebrate the
Fourth. The only thing in the way
was that they had no orator, where
upon Fitch told them he would make
them speech. 1t was soon noised
through the chip that the steerage pas
sengers were going to have celebra-
tion next day, and one of the officers of
the ship fixed 1t so that the orator
should stand by the rope, abaft OF
which no steerage passenger was per-
mitted to 60. The result was the steer
age passengers all crowded from the
front and the cabin passengers from the
rear, and Fitch delivered his speech.
When he finished, the cabin passengers
made up purse, paid for a state-room
and the extra fare, Fitch was brought
into the cabin and was the honored
guest of the ship. Shortly after reach
ing San Francisco there was a great
Lincoln meeting called. 1t was in the
campaign of go. We rather suspect
that Fitch got two or three of the crowd
at the right time to call Fitch !" He
was right where he could hear and he
took the stand. The result was the
central committee sent for him next
morning and gave him good many
thousand dollars to stump the state.
There is more witchery in his tongue
than there was in all the tongues of
Macbeth's witches. He is among men
what the trumpet is to an army. At a
public meeting he is what Custer was
when the charge was sounded, and he
is to the brains of men, when occasion
fits, what old wine is to the stomach.
He has every attribute of the grand
orator. and we suspect the reason he
has never established the foremost
reputation as an orator in the country,
is the knowledge that he coul l, if neces-
sary, talk just as we'll on the other side
of the case.

OUR SILVER ToNGUED ORATOR.

OUR SILVER TONGUED ORATORA
A recent issue of the Salt Lake Trib-
etne has the following about Col. Thos.
Fitch, a tribute for which Arizonians
generally and Phenicians particularly
will be duly thankful:
An Ogden correspondent asks US to
sometime, in the articles 'As [ Remem-
Der Them" give little picture of Hon.
Thomas Fitch Our correspondent has
failed to note that in those articles we
have taken no chances. We have never
referred to any one until the man was
dead. Tom Fitch is yet alive. at least
he was at last accounts, and possibly he
might object to have US hang him up in
that gallery of ghosts. But the cores
pondent refers particularly to his ora.
tory. 1t is not amiss to say few words
about that, and we are free to say that
he is one of the foremost, if not the
foremost, orator of the day. He not
only has an enchanting gift of Ian
guage, but he has that faculty of max
ing hammers out of words, and fgura-
lively he can, as quickly as Corbett de-
livers his blows, strike first with a six
pound, then with an eight pound, then
with ten pound, then with twelve
pound and then with fifteen pound
hammer of English, and when the last
blow is struck the audience is knocked
out. We have seen him make sober,
sedate, and withal very shrewd men
forget their dignity, at least for the
moment, jump upon the benches,
wave their hats and howl like lunatics.
Then he has voice that will fit every
emotion of the soul. 1t can be swester
than the cooling of love- birds, and 8
moment later can ring out like war
horn. Then his presence favors him.
Formerly he had very black hair and
rosy cheeks. Now his hair is gray
and his complexion is swarthy, but
when talking his black eyes blaze like
bale-fres' He has all the impetuosity
of Demosthenes, when necessary, but
we believe his style is more Roman
than Greek. If he were to make q
speech in Utah, men would be carried
away with it, but they would not be
affected by it next morning, because
they know him we'll; he would be just
one of ourselves. But we believe to
put him in a great hall together with
Ingersoll, Depew, Daniels, Bourke
Cochran or any others whom they call
orators in the East, then give out a
4heme on which the passions of men
could be awakened, and Tom Fitch
would carry off the honors from them
all. Five or six years ago he went
to St. Louis. He went there stranger,
although in boyhood he had lived there
a little while. A public meeting was
called for some purpose and Fitch init

Raphael, the great painter, was
born in 1888, i'm Colbordolo, IA little
town set among the A]pennines noun
tains. He was left without father or
mother when he was only eleven years
old, and his uncle, seeing his great
talent rs an artist, put him to study
in the studio Of Pcrugino, Il famous
painter. When Perugino first saw
Raphael's sketches, he said, Let
him be my pupil he will soon become
my master" Raphael painted his
first work when he was seventeen
years old, and the picture, which was
the "CrucifixiOn, sold later on for
Sl2, 800. He afterwards painted II
little picture Of the Madonna, that
vas less than seven inches square,
and in 1871 this was sold to the En-
peror Of Russia for S66, 900.
Raphael was very modest in his
manner, kind and gentle to every one,
and always made the best Of things,
looking ever on the bright side of life.
He was a hard worker.
When he "a twenty-five years old
he was called to Rome by the pope,
who commissioned him to fresco the
walls in the vatican with historical
pictures. The first fresco Raphael
painted was called La Disputa, and
when the pope saw this great paint
ing, he threw himself on his knees
before it and said, II thank thee,
great God, that thou hast sent me SO
great II painter
While Raphael was painting this
picture he fell i'm love with a beauti-
full young girl named Margherita, the
daughter of Il soda manufacturer. 1t
is said he used her aS his model in
many Of his most famous pictures.
IT is Margherita'S face that M sees
in the beautiful SiStini Madonna, the
greatest work Of his life. He only
lived three years after painting this
picture. He died on his thirty
seventh birthday, and at the time
vas at work on the TRANSPORTATION
He was the idol Of all Rome and every
one was overcome with grief at the
news Of his death. His body was
laid in grand state, on a catafalque,
surrounded by lighted taperS, ana
behind it was the unfinished Trans
f%iguration, which was also carried
in the funeral procession.
The amount Of work that Raphael
accomplished during his life was
something wonderful. He left 2S7
pictures and SO drawings. SOME
one asked him one day how he man
aged to do so much work. Raphael
answered, From my earliest child
hood, | have made it Il principle never
to neglect anything. - Detroit Free

AN UNUSUAL OCCUPATION.

Force Of circumstances has driven
an English woman-one Mrs. Cole
man-to adopt the unusual Occupa-
ton of pavement artist as n means to
earn a living for herself and her sick
husband. She is probably the first
gentlewoman to adopt this calling,
which is one Of the common street
sights of London, though compare
lively unknown here. 1t is estimated.
that there are about 300 persons
men, women and lads-in the English
metropolis earning Il living at this
trade Of drawing pictures on the pave
ments and collecting pennies from
the crowds that gather. ColOred
chalks are used and very realistic
artists being genuinely talented. A
shipwreck or any sort of marine pic
ture is n popular subject-the blue OF
the sea and colors of the ship and
sky all being faithfully reproduced.
The exciting happenings of the day
are seized upon, too, the face Of n
murderer or the environment Of any
thrilling occurrence being promptly
brought out. Formerly the business
was conducted on Il sort of system,
pitches" or good vantage- points
being regularly %preempted and re-
spected by other members OF the
fraternity. Now, however, the i'm
creased number of pictures to be had
in all prints, even the cheapest, has
had a depressing effect on the pur-
suit still, ON fair days, Mrs. Cole
mar earns, on an average, 81 % a
day, and when IL rains she stays at
home and prepares her chalks. = New
York Times.

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is observed in all OF
the Southern States. 1t had its ORR
gin in the South, and was first pro-
posed by Mrs. Mary A.'Williams, the
widow of a soldier Of the Mexican and
Civil Wars, Major Charles j. Will
liams, Of Columbus, GA. The first
observance, 1868, was due largely to
the agitation of the subject by the
late Albert Lamar, at that time editor
of the Columbus Sun, and to John
Martin then in charge OF the Column
bus Enquirer. The day was fixed on
the Doth of April. This date has been
generally observed since its inaugur-
alton in the more Southern States,
while Virginia and Kentucky and the
more northern of the Southern States
observe May 10, as their flowers are
not abundant earlier. After the
Southern people had observed the
day for two or three years the Gus
tom was adopted by the people OF
the Northern States, and May 30
fixed as Memorial Day. The day is
observed with great pomp and cere-
mony at all national cemeteries in
tho outh.-[Detroit Free Press.

Have you heard that there is a
country in Africa where no One is
allowed to whistle after dark? The
name Of this country is Fez. And in
Fee the person who whistles after the
shades Of night have fallen will very
likely be killed, because the people
Of Fee believe that whistling after
dark calls up evil spirits.
II "A whistle is heard on the streets
Of Fez at night, the people jump up
out Of their beds and run out, armed
with guns and knives, to kill the one
who is whistling. 1t is even worse in
Fee TO whisper at night in the streets,
because it il thought that the evil
spirit is very near, and that the one
who whispers il talking TO him.
II can not be very pleasant to live
i'm the town Of Fez, because IA boy
might, without thinking, whistle in
the evening, and then the conse-
quences would be very bad. Or IA girl
might whisper to her brother as she
is seated OF her own doorstep in the
evening" Courier Journal.

As the vessel went about, a large
Iceberg was noticed right astern in
the light haze, and, strange to relate,
it also appeared to be coming toward
them. At first this caused the sailors
much uneasiness, for they feared TO
be caught between il and the field OF
ice.
A little careful steering, however,
placed them safely to one side Of the
berg, and the men.gathered along the
ships side TO watch the monster "a

The captain knew that some strong
lower-current was pushing against
the underwater portion Of this berg,
and urging it along against the winds
and surface currents. He wondered
what would result when the berg and
ice-field met. Which would gain the
mastery? Why, the heavy berg, of
curse.
Then a bright idea flashed through
his mind, which he instantly began
to put in execution by ordering the
steersman to turn the bark and run
her right in behind the berg.
Going as close as he dared to the
great ice-mountain, he ordered the
crew to lower a boat and take a rope
and hitch on TO it. This they did,
making fast toa low pinnacle, or foot
hill. Then sail was shortened TO fly
ing-jib and spanker, just enough to
keep her steady and take some strain
off the rope; and 10! the ship was
towing kindly in the wake Of the

With bang, and smash, and roar,
the mighty contest went on. But
the berg proceeded s~erenely, leaving
a broad swath behind in which the
bark rode safely until clear water
n once more reached.
Then, as quickly as possible, the
rope was cast off, all sail set, and a
respectful distance put between the
bark and berg st. Nicholas.
