THE DIFFERENCEiIN SPEAKERS.
SOME "REMINISCENCES.

-- F~ .1E
 Some speeches read we'll that fall flat
 before the audience. Some are magnetic
 aud carry along in. spite of your moder-
 ate taste for speeches. We we'll remem-
 Der how Julius Bolivar Curtis, s'spoke
 his piece' in the early debates in Gray's
 Plain schoolhouse, and, afterwards, how
 the late Silas Wheeler followed in that
 rapid and impetuous style that Demos-
 thenessuse ed against Phillip. Such speak,
 CTS often run ''way by' their words, like
 hounds after fox track then they turn
 to look up their words and run on again
 with increased velocity. Such speakers
 nearly always magnetize an audience
 Park Hill was impetuoIs also in his early efforts but became like his brother Beach
 Hill, slow, elegant and ponderous. T. J. Corbett, was siivery, like Wendell
 Phillip, and used few gestures. Alonzo Sherman, the late sarcastic wit of Gray's Plain, was the most diverse in style of any man we ever heard speak. At times, like majestic tree, he would bend little. at the top, as if lowing to his hear CTS and, in half a minute he would remind you of tWo-horse hay tedder in swift motion! The wit, the information, and the 1idicule was one of the great attrac- tions that so often filled our celebrated schoolhouse to ovelf1owing. The late Dr Somers, and the late Alonzo Tay- Tor were often in debate, with many of those mentioned and those days all come up as days that were worth living; and. when we hear Bryan or Tom Reed, or a Talmadge our thoughts recur to the famous old men and young men who once walked the earth in the eastern part of old Newtown. The perfect speaker is he who has "vital subject, " and handles it "without gloves" When Juuge De Forest, and Judge Torrance came up to "Punkups," to discuss the question: ''Is ciVilizatian more condu- l cive to happiness that oarbarism?" We backwoods men felt as if we didn't | know anything about oratory and even Park Hill, Rob" Hinman and Sherms | felt the force of logic as advanced by the rules of rhetoric, and grammer. But the comparison of the barbarian to the jelly fish by Rob-" was 8 setback to his opponents, somewhat like the cannon | Michael discharged upon Satan for the first time in the great war between Heaven and Hell, as described by the immortal poet, Milton. ''For the life of us" we cannot remember how the question was decided, but we think the s'ielly fish" won.-fG.'W. B. ',-

JODhN IN THE WEST.
 The city of Colorado Springs is one of the greatest health resorts in the country-certainly for those affected
 with lung trouble. might say It was founded by them and is peopled by them, for its fame is based on it's climate. and it's population composed for the greater part of sufferers asking relief. Its fame is we'll founded for here is a climate that has great deal in it's favor. The soil is sandy and gravelly and does not hold the moisture. Trees do not grow naturally here except by the creeks, vegetation is scanty and the sun pours down its rays through a rarifed atmosphere and makes the air exception ally dry. There is an abundance of sun shine. An entirely cloudy day is rare the sun makes it's appearance a time at least during the day to cheer the spirits.
 Indeed the climate is so genial and en. joyable that there have been attracted here quite colony of English settlers of the wealthy class who find this a much more preferable place of residence than crowded, befogged England. These English cou-ins form such an import ant part of the population here that up in Denver and elsewhere in the state we are )cularly known as Little Lunnon," " a church society into which are gatb- cred many of these people who have re- gently erected place of worship winch is pOpularly known as the church of the Holy AristocTats." But in spite of these facts the place is thoroughly Amer ican and eastern in sentiment. While the rest of the state in the recent pres.- dential election voted overwhelmingly for the silver candidate, this city was a stronghold of gold advocates.
 Boston and the cities of the Atlantic seaboard are we'll represented here, which fact is a commentary on the harshness of the long and cold winters there. About every doctor in the place was led to come here in the first ir- stance for his health. l am told that one of them who now rides about be- hind span of spirited horses in a sty- fish vehicle, was brought here years ago on bed. And all the doctors who are able to attend to practice seem to thrive. For awhile they can accomplish very lit- tie for their patients in addition to the climate yet many sick mortals seem to derive much consolation from the mere sight of a disc pie of Esculapius, espec- ially when he drives around in 8 smart and businesslike turnout.
 The opportunities here for social and intellectual enjoyment are such as to make the place especially desirable for either sick or well. There are likely many spots down in New Mexico and Arizona fully as desirable as regards climate and the physical man would doubtless derive much benefit. But they are lonely and undeveloped and the spiritual man would have I fear diff ficulty in keeping his wits in working order and his mental faculties from rust and dry rot.

healthful. 1t calls into play every
muscle in the body and develops the
whole physical man without great pref
erence to any one organ. 1t is for this
reason that physicians nearly always
recommend walking to folks in poor
health. u.s.
And it is probably for this reason,
also, that the famous7wa1kers, the rae
ing men, hardly ever have the appear
ance of great athletes. l have seen
most of the best. walkers in the United
States, and not one of them is man of
striking build. Hammer throwers, mile
runners and the stars of other events
have. on the other hand, generally dis
tinguishing characteristics. The ham,
mer thrower has the gigantic shoulder
development. the shot putter the large
upper arm, and the mile runner huge
calve, while any of these men may be
almost lame in another part of the
body. On the other hand the walker
needs no phenomenal development of
any part of the body, but must possess a
good constitution all around. If he is
weak at any spot the strain there will
set at naught all his other prowess be-
fore the end of a mile race. Even the
arm below the elbow, which is the men,
Der least needed, may check him disas-
trously, while poor shoulder arm has
given more than one strong-legged
pedestrian that tired feeling.''
However, though prowess as walker
is not outwardly apparent, think that
when score or so of men line up on
the track. can generally pick out the
two or three winners. They will not
be the long-legged, spindle-like walking
stick, the fellow that the crowd is sure
to cheer in the first 100 yards, nor will
they proba bly, be the heaviest, brawniest
men, but they will bedistinguished by a
wiry angularity and by certain snap
