Sheridan and the Joke.

Sheridan, himself brilliant orator
as we'll as shrewd observer, was one
day asked how it was he got on so we'll
in the house of commons. "Well, :" he
said, IT soon found out that the major
ity were fools, but all loved joke, ar
determined to give them what they
liked. " Tbs great advantage of joke
is that it puts the speaker at once on
good terms With his audience. Hence
Cicero recommends it for an exordium.
A common way Of winning the good
will Of an audience is iattery. When
the Jews brought down the orator Ter
tullus to accuse Paul, Tartullus began
his speech with fattery of King Agrip
pa, Since by thee we enjoy" and g
on. Another way, subtle form Of fiat
terry, is to describe yourself as native
or the same place OF county as those
you are addressing. The forensic formu-
la, the fustian apostrophe to the IL elm
telligent am patriotic and high minded
men" whom the rhetorical Buzfuz sees
before him, is played out, but it has its
modern equivalents. Westminster Re

"A New story of Lineoln's Coed Nature
and Tact.
and Tact.

MIR. William Bender Wilson Of Ian
caster, Pa, who entered the war depart
meut as military telegrapher in 1861,
gives the following fresh anecdOte:
''In the fall Of 1861 fires il Washing
ton city were of frequent occurrence,
: without any organized adequate means
for extinguishing them being in exist
ence there. This condition of affairs
was a source Of SO much anxiety to the
country at large that no sooner was a
Washington ire announced IL the news
papers than the mails would TEEN with
patriotic offers to the president from all
sections for tie formation of FIRE brigades
as a component part Of the army for the
protection of the capital. This was one
OF the many great annoyanccs of irrele-
want subjects thrust upon the president.
He bore it ali as part Of the responsible
tiles resting upon him, yet at last was
compelled to rebuko it from sheer lack
Of time to give it any attention
lone night the Washington infirnlary
burned down, and, as was customary
after such disasters, the next day brought
the president the usual com pIement OF
offers of fire engines and fremen. Phil
adelphia's patriotism, true to it's tradi-
tions, could not await the slow progress
of the mail, but seIIt forward q commit
tee of citizens to urge upon the presi-
dent the acceptance Of a fully equipped
fire brigade for Washington. On their
arrival at the White House they We're
most courteonsly and blandly received
by EIr. Lincoln. Eloquently did they
urge their mission, but valuable time
was being wasted, and Mr.. Lincoln was
forced TO bring the conference to q close,
which he did by interrupting the COM
mlttee in the midst of a grand and to be
clinching oratorical effort by gravely
saying, as if be had just awakened to
the true import of the visit: tAh, yes,
gentlemen, but it is mistake to sup
pose that am at the head Of the fire
department. of the city of Washington!
I am siIaply president Of the United
