Some Famous Faces.

Napoleon. with Il face as if it had
been modelled from a Greek cameo,
was never, in Talleyrand's Judgment
at all events, quite a gentleman. He
gesticulated too much and was alto
gether too violent for the correct taste
of the great noble trained under the
old regime. Perfection of body is not
necessary. either, for many misshaped
men have been dignitied even when
they were not, like the Due dc Ven
dome, Princes of the Lilies i'll days
when that distinction meant so much.
Little men and wiZened men have
both inspired awe, for great soldiers
trembied if Louis XIV frowned, and
no man received without weakened
knees n rebukc from William III. The
protruding under lip of the Hapsburgs
has never detracted from their ma jeS-

his good manners. always suggested to
the onlOoker Il bull face to face with
the metadore, was for all that every

wendell Phillips and Blaine.

When Wendell Phillips was last in
Washington, he was for Il few minutes
on the floor of the United States SEN
ate, surrounded by group of senators,
among whom was Senator James G..
Blaine. always a favorite with Mr..
Phillips. 1t SO happened that Il few
weeks before this time Mr.. Blaine, in
presenting to congress the statue Of
Governor King. first governor OF
Maine. TO be placed in the rotunda OF
the capitol. had commented severely
on the loyalty of Massachusetts, and
especially the Federalist party, during
the war with Great Britain in 1872.
of this party the father of Wendell
Phillips, John Phillips. was con-
spicuous member When Blaines
speech was made Dawes and Hoar
We're senators from Massachusetts. and
they both eSsayed some sort of an
impromptu reply thereto, but did them
selves little credit in parrying the
thrusts of Blaine's Glittering rapier.
So. when Wendell Phillips met
Blaine on this occasion, he said to,him
Iaughingly. Il wish l had been a men,
Der of this body for about an hour
the other day when you made THAT
speech attacking the Massachusetts
Fedcralists.''
'Ah," said Mr. Blaine with THAT
ready wit which never desertedthim,
IF you had been here l shouldn't have
made that Speech,''-Harpcr's Maya

An Accommodations Ear.

Philadelphians have become accus-

Eesentative of The Record TO discover
a man who used the soft lobe of his
ear for i cotton wad.
Passengers on a street car in the
Quaker City the other day were at
tracted to q well dressed man of mid
die age because of something peculiar
they noticed about his right ear. 1t
seemed to those who looked that the
ear was minus a lobe. Suddenly there
was Il flop, and the interested pas
sengers then noticed that the ear was
all right, with the lobe in the place
where it ought to be.
BY the time the passengers had gone
deep into wonder over the strange
sight the man raised his hand and
pushed the lobe into the opening of the
ear, placing the ear in the condition
Il was before the flop. Noticing that
the man who sat next to him stared in
IN inquiring way at him, the man
with the magic ear said that the lobe
was his earache cure.
He was n great sufferer from the
ache, he said. and formerly used cotton
to shut the wind out of his ear. One
day he was without cotton and found
that he could shove the lobe into the
opening. 1t did not only keep the
wind out, but the pain disappeared
quicker, and since then he has always
put the lower part of his ear into use
when the earache has come on.

A SCIENTIFIC ExHIBIT.

DR.. Walter Maxwell is preparing
a most interesting geological exhibit
which will be sent to the Paris Ex-
position as subdivision under the
exhibit OF the United States Agri-
cultural department. DR.. Maxwell
has robbed his own private collec-
tion to make the exhibit, which is
purely scientific, as complete and
valuable as possible. He will send
samples of lava in different stages Of
decomposition from the freshly
hardened rock-like lava to the fer
tile red soils where the cane grows
as nowhere else in the world and he
has prepared excellent samples of
the minerals which are found in the
soils of the islands in such an abund-
apce that the servant predicts that
some day Hawaii can produce as
good material as that used for the
manufacture of the famous Worces-
ter China, and of aluminium besides
a possible supply Of iron and sui
phur. The specimens Of lava to be
sent to the Exposition will clearly
show the change OF lava from it's
original composition to that of soil
aud minerals and valuable addi-
tion will be made by the doctor to the
geological departments of the great
museums in Europe. An exhibit
such as that prepared by DR.. Max
we'll will be of more value eventu-
ally to the Islands as we'll as to sol
ence than the exhibition OF grass
huts, half-nude women and "vil-
lage" presided over by Captain.

PREToRIA, July 6.-The Volksraad
sat in secret session, President
Kruger and the negotiators from
the Orange Free State being present.
1t is understood an agreement was
reached to grant the franchise i'm
mediately to all settlers prior to
1880 and to other classes OF residents
within seven years, the naturaliza-
tion clause to be optional. These
proposals viii be- deb ted in open
session tomorrow.
Although Sir Albert Miner, on
behalf OF Great Britain. demanded
at the Bloemontein conference that
a residence Of five years should be a
qualification for the franchise, it is
believed that the terms said to have
been agreed upon to-day for the
Volksraad might be acceptable to
the Uitlanders, if suitable guaran-
tees were given for the execution of
the promised reforms.

In regard to the use OF the Execu-
tive Building for public demonstra-
tions, such as that OF the Fourth Of
July and annexation day, the con-
tention Of the Executive, il we un-
derstand the position correctly, is
that State Function is a function
for which the Government bears all
the expenses and in whose name it
is given. A celebration such as sug-
gested for annexation day cannot
therefore come within the definition
OF a State Function whereas Gov
ernment reception to the officers of
