Watterson Rises to the Occasion.

One can easily imagine that the rebel
yell from the mouth of Col. Henry
Watterson Of Kentucky, thirty odd
years ago possessed more resonant if
not terrifying qualities than when
uttered by any other deluded, daunt-
less follower of the stars and bars.
Anyhow. then and since, there has
been no difficulty in locating the gal
liant coloneTs whereabouts upon any
question, which he might feel called
upon to discuss. Moreover all could be
assured beforehand that Watterson
was convinced long ago that this coun-
try is the best on the exterior of the
globe in which to live and that the
man who wouldn't defend that coun-
try from outside assault is indeed "a
poor tool"
1t is fair to presume from the char
acter of the man that he has not been
agreeably impressed with the anglo
phile mawkishness of Ambassador
Eayard, and when that gentleman, at
the recent dinner to Gen. Collins in
London, was if possible more pathetic
ally expatriated than ever, the re-
marks of Col. Watterson were remark
able by contrast If for no other reason.

AFTER EATING HASHEeSH.


During quite a good half hour felt
nothing In any way abnormal, but when

warmth, which came, as 1t were, In gusts
to my head and chest, seemed to permeate
my body with q singular emotion. Later
on the conversation around me reached my
understanding. charged with droll signifl-
cance The noise Of fork tapped against
glass struck my ear as q most harmoni-
Vus vibration. The faces of my compan-
Ions were transformed The particular
animal type, which, according to Lavater,
is the basis OF every human countenance,
appeared to me strikingiy clear. My right
hand neighbor became an eagle, he on my
left grew into an owl, with full, projecting
eyes; Immediately in front Of me the man
was a lion, while the doctor himself was
metamorphosed into fox.
But the most extraordinary circum-
stance was that l read, or seemed to read,
their thoughts and penetrate the depths of
their intelligence as easily as one deciphers

perienced phrenologist. l could indicate
accurately the force and quality Of their
endowments and the nature of their senti-
ments. In this analysis discovered ATTN
tiles and contrasts which would have es-
capped one in n normal state.
Objects around me seemed little by little
to clothc themselves in fantastic garb. the
arabesques on the walls revealed them
selves to me in rich rhymes Of attractive
poesy, sometimes melancholy, but more
generally rising to an exaggerated lyrism
or to transcendent buffoonery. The porce-
lain vases, the bottles, the glasses spar
king on the table-all took the most ludi-
crous forms. At the same time l felt
creeping all around the region of my heart
tickling pressure, to squeeze out, as it

My neghbors, too seemed subjected to
an identical influence, for saw their fac
unfold like peonies-victims of boisterous
hilarity, holding their sides and rolling
about from right to left, their counte-
nances swollen like Titans. My voice
seemed to have gained considerable
strength, for when spoke it was as If it
were discharge of cannon, and long after
