EMERSON AS 4 SPEAKER.


dino. Jay Chapman In the Jan Atlantic)
Emerson was not q writer, bus speak
er.0n thep latf0rm his manner OF speech
was a living part Of his words The
pauses and hesitation, the abstraction,
the search:ng,the balancing the turning
forward alld back of the leaves Of his
lecture. AMI then the discovery, the IL
lumination.. the gleam Of lightning when
yol saw before your eyes descend into Il
man of genius.--all this was Emerson.
He invented this style Of speaking, and
made it express the supersensuous, the IN
communicate Lowell wrote, while still
under the spell of the magician: Emer-
sons oratioI was more disJo.nted than
usual, even with him. IL began nowhere,
and ended everywhere, and yet, as al
ways with that divine man, it left you
feeling that something beautiful had
passed that way, something more beauI-
full than anything else like the rising and
setting of stars. Every possible criti-
cism might have been made on it but
one.-that it was not noble There was
a tone in il that awakened all elevating
associations ale boggled, he lost his
place. he had TO put on his glasses; but
1t was as If creature from some fairer
world had lost Ais way in our fogs, and
ii was our faulG, not his. 1t was chaotic,
but ii was all such stuff as stars are
made Of, and y9u couldn't help feeling
that, IL you waised awhile, all that was
nebulous would be whirled into planets,
and would assume the mathematical
gravity Of SYSTEM. All through it | felt
something in me that cried la! har 10

rwo LEADING SOUTHERN TYPES

I% T. Ttcn in Ghe january Athutic}
lhe yeo lca ling types 81 Southern topa-
laun are plainly the Nirsiuian and thp
South Curoiniau of the tdrwatcr. For
this fact there are both historical auG
photographic reasons Virginia was the
first aud South Carolina the second
Southern colony to be settled by well-to-
do EnRlshmen who desired to found per-
n,anent homes. The introduction OF
slavery aud it's application to staple crops
speedily gave nm nrstocratic tone to so
ciety in both Provinces; but between
them, in North Carolina and TO the south
of them, in Georgia, there were fewer
wealthy settlers and DO staple crops to
speak OF, 80 that from the first society
III these provinces was more or less demo
cratic in spite Of slavery. Before, how
ever the gentry of the coast could expand
and occupy the country lying between the
Blue Ridge and the Alleghauies and be-
yond that range Of mountains, very dif-
fcrcnt sort of people had moved in and
taken possession Among these people,
owing 10 their habits and the nature OF
their soil. slavery could take no strong
hold hence they remained democratic and
distinct from their tide-water neighbors,
a indeed they are to this day.

While the Christmas side brings joy

ase in sore distress. we are grieyed 10
note that MIR. and Mrs Ounce Moore
were last night bepcft Of their infant son
In q most singular manner
On account OF the noise made Ivy the
discharge OF fire crackers, the child was
restless early in the night and could not
sleep. About $3.50 O'Clock he dropped
off TO sleep and was laid in his crib in
his parents ROOM opposite the sitting
roem, with the door connecting the two
rooms left open. The family sat IN the
sitting room and several times it's
mother went to her room TO look after
4ihc little one when II wns
RESTLESS. About 10 O'Clock the
hahy's mother thought she heard
Il fsetting and went to the room door but
finding it quiet she did not look into the
erin but went back 10 the sitting room.
At 1890 O'Clock when Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore went to their room to retire, they
found a large pet cat lying across the
child's face. The animal was taken up
and the parents were shocked to find that
their darling had been smothered to
death The last spark Of life was just
leaving the baby aud its parents in great
alarm and distress apprized the house
hold OF the Syd occurrence. Every effort
was made to rcsuS.tate the lt;le one while
physicians were hastily summoned, but
all effert and medical skill failed to bring
back the little life that had gone out.
The bereaved parcnts reside with Mr.
Moores parents, Colonel and Mrs. Roger
Moore. The deceased cbbld WAS named
Roger for its grandfather, and was the
FIRST born to It's fond partents, now 50
suddenly and terribly hereaved. Its age
was three months and a halI.

An Actress Hypnotized.

A curious story of hypnotic sug-
gestion comes from Sweden. AT a
Stockholm theatre one OF the ac-
tresses did not consider herself pro-
perly appreciated, and this worried
her so, that she was seized with
aphasia or speechlessness. Dr.
Wetterstrand, the well.known spe-
cialist, was at once called in. Three
hours before he next performance
he is said to have hypnotized his
patient, and then suggested that she
should get up, proceed to tho thea
ire, and play with full command OF
her voice and faculties. Quite I'M
consciously she obeyed the sugges-
ton, and rather over-acted her part.
throwing far more energy than usual
into her tones and gestures. The
audience, ignorant of the truth, APP.
plauded eagerly, and the affair pass
ed off with complete success.

Olympiad OF modern times on the
newly rebuilt stadium at Athens.
The race was won by one Tcanomo,

again, and beat him, for which
astonishing feat he WAS presen ed
with crown Of laurel.

The Uses of Cotton Fibre.

There is apparently no end to the
possible uses Of cotton fibre under
chemical treatment. 1t may, as
Professor Hummel pointed out at
the Yorkshire College, Leeds, the
other night, be made to initiate ivory
or tortoiseshell for the purpose Of
ornamentation, or it may be entered
into the market as a cheap rival of
the products of Leek and Maccles.

prints. The chemically prepared,
not woven cotton silks are described
as rivalling the natural silks in
lustres. A patent drawback to these
substitutes for woven fabrics APP

"tender" under the application of
wafer.

Origin of Porterhouse Steak

In the old coaching days there
was a tavern in New York, kept by
a mau named Porter, famous for its
steaks, to which house one Saturday
their arrived a traveller who called
for a steak. Not one was left but
the hungry man called and called
again for steak. Finally the inu-
keeper in his distress took from his
larder large piece OF sirloin put
there for roasting, and cut from it
a piece to broil. 1t was found so
delicious that the same piece was
called for after that, and was chris
tened after the house and its pro-
prietor, "Porter-house steak" Up
to this time the piece of meat had
been used for roasting only, and the
discovery of its virtues for broiling
may be said to have been quite acct

are to be run as fast as horse omni-
buses, and they have this advantage,
that they can be stopped quicker
than the latter. The new carriages
will hold 26 passengers-12 inside
and Ia outside. Each passenger will
have more room than in the present

be lit with electric light. The fares
will, for the present, remain the
same as tie existing bus charges.

Siberian Antiquities.

A French arch@ologist, Baron de
Bay, has been occupied for some
months past in the neighborhood OF
Tomsk, Siberia, in excavatiug kur-
gans, the old turtle.back burying
mounds found in many parts OF
Russia. Fifteen of these kurgans,
says Moskow correspondent, have
been opened, and curious and sig
ni6cant discovery made. Those
mounds, which date back to before
the Russian conquest of Siberia,
cautain quantities of beads, ear
rings, knives with artistically-
finished bone hats, copper kettles,
engraved rings, and silver orna-
ments, bracelets, etc. The Oldest Of
these belong to the thirteenth CEN
fury. Those kurgans, on the other
hand, which date only from about
three centuries ago (Tomsk was
founded in 1640) contain compar-
atively Little of anything.

observes the Medical Times, to three
mistakes in feeding babies: ID They
give the food too concentrated. (2)
They give it too frequently. go They

not of the heart; for their great fear
is that the baby will starve. Thous-

The great harm produced by many
cough mixtures is pointed out by a
medical journal. Nine times out of
ten, it says, the principal ingredient is
opium. 'Tis true opium may lessen the
tendency to cough, but it does a great
damage by arresting the normal Sc
cretions, and the system becomes af

SHOP WINDOW LADIES.
Dry Goods Merchants Insist That
Wax Lay Figures Shall Resemble
Well Known Actresses.

The high-born wax ladies in the
shops used to be foreigners, generally
they come from Vienna. The natives
were comparatively plebian; their com
plexions were inferior and their hair
wig-like
But within the last two years the art
and trade of making wax figures has
been brought to a high degree of per
lection in New York city. More and
more of them are used inv the show
windows, and the full length ones,
even when home made, cost from $3.50
to 5000 each. The fine figures for the
museums are still more expensive
Inferior figures were formerly copied
from one another or modelled accord
ing to any slipshOd device that sug-
Sested itself. But now the two or three
frst-class wax modelers in the coun-
try all work from the living model.
The head is roughly shaped first in a
plaster mould, its general proportions
thus fixed, and then the artist works
up details with his eye on the pretty
girl he has hired to pose for him. He
does not patronize the models that
serve academecians; painters go in for
the suggestive, the expressive; what
he wants first and last is smooth con-
tours and regular features. The young
Italian girls of the east side furnish
most of his favorite types. He says
they are the most regularly pretty
class in New York The hair in good
figures is put in hair by hair with a hot
