from Sir Edward Hamilton's mono

stone. About the first three places in.
deed he beloved that there could be no
reasonable question. They must be as
signed to Homer, Dante and Shakes
peare, But about the fourth place Mr..
GLADSTONE found geat difficulty. He
considered that there were four com
petitors-Eschylus, Virgil, Milton aud
Goethe. We wonder how many Of our
readers would at first guess select Mr..
Gladstone's final choice! 1t was Goethe.
Who, in recent days, have been the
greatest masters Of English? This was
another question which Mr.. Gladstone
was fond Of considering. He decided in
favor OF two as greater than all others
Cardinal Newman and Mr.. Ruskin. II
is interesting to recall the fact that Mr..
Morley, in lecture, answered the same
question. According to him, the great
masters Of English in our generation
have been three--CarlyIe. Macaulay

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
A Belief That 1t Changed the History
of This Country.

A Belief That 1t Changed the History
! of This Country.
It is said that single glass Of wine
probably wrecked the Democratic party
in 1860. The story is worth telling
After the breaking up of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held a state cen
vention. Great excitement prevailed
The leaders of the party could not
agree. It was critical period.
The majority report Endorsed the SO
ceGers or boilers at Charleston, while
the minority report opposed their &C
tion. The leading champion Of the mi
nority was Hersohel v johnson. and
his followers were confident that his
eloquence and logic would carry the
day.
1t is quite likely that such would
have been the case but for an unfortu.

gan his speech before the noon adjourn
ment on the second day and concluded
after dinner
Old men who remember that speech
say that it was powerful argument,
and the impression gained ground that
after the noon recess the speaker would
demolish his opponents with few
Eledge hammer blows
But the overconfidens friends of the
minority report were doomed to disap-
pointment. johnson felt the strain of
the morning session so much that he
YVES unable to eat anything, and he took
a glass of wine upon an empty stomach
to strengthen himself. This was fatal
mistake. That enc glass of wine par-
haps changed the destiny of the nation!
The great orator resumed his speech,
but the wine had nauseated him. He
was haZy, verbose and uninteiligibie at
times. His style and argument lacked
vigor, consistency and positiveness. His
friends locked at one another in despair
The men on the other side were exult
ant. 1t was evident that the speaker
had damaged his own cause.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry H
Jackson followed each other for the ma
jority report. They spoke with an air
