Admiral Porter as a yuitor.

That Admiral Porter was not afraid to
brave the ire of an unpropitious parent
doubtless raised him in the esteem of his
ladylove. When midshipman on board
the flagship of commodore who was ac-
companied by his family, which included
a young and lovely daughter, young Por-
ter allowed no parental commands to
frighten him. The orderly was told not
to allow the midshipman to enter the
cabin without special permission.
Young Porter, however, managed to
continue his visits to his fair one. One
bright moonlight night the commodore,
rousing up from an after dinner nap, dis
covered young Porter and his sweetheart
behind one of the windows of the stern
ports.
young man." Numbered the commo-
dore, chow did you enter this cabin?"
The midshipman replied. THE orderly is
not to blame; came over the mizzen
chains and through the quarter galley
window"
Midshipman Porter through the bal
ance of the cruise was regularly admitted
to visit the cabin. and on the ships ar

VOICES OF GREAT ORATORS.


Henry Clay's reputation as a great
| public speaker arose largely from his
sonorous voice and wen rounded periods.
Thomas Corwin, who was greater
speaker than he, dealt more in humor. Of
which he was the most conspicuous mas
ter that ever appeared in American mol
itics. He always thought, not without
cause. that his very readiness to convulSe
an audience with laughter detractcd from
his fame and gave the solemn. sonorous
speaker, like Clay, great advantage with
the reputation makers.

but in the rumble his words were At
little distance indistinct. 1t was not so
with Smith. As far as you could hear
the ringing tones of his voice you could
distinguish his words and follow the line
of his thought. although he spoke with
much greater rapidly than Clay. George

ID. W. Voorhees, was the orator Of
lofty flight and startling smile. His
voice could accommodate itself to every

servant, and he was more the actor than
the logician.
Morton was an image breaker. When
other men wrought fanciful creations Of
frail materials, finished in beautiful pat

the wonderful depth and force of his
voice, went crashing through them to
make plain the truth which they had OBJ
scured.
The power of his voice was so great
that when he used to read his keynote

HE PLAYED ALL NIGHT.
A Funny Story About Camille Saint
Snens, the Composer.


Camille Saint-Saens, the brilliant
French composer. an extremely near
sighted man, was at a large social gath
ering in Paris one evening when the host
asked him to play something. He for
long time refused to do so; but, being
earnestly pressed, he took his seat at the
piano. His hair was tossed back, his
eye CLEANED with excitement. Now he
would bend over the piano, then he
would throw himself back, and all the
while his fingers would run over the keys
as he eXtemporized in the most brilliant
fashion. The company were delighted.
After an hour pleasure gave place to
WEAKNESS. Two hours afterward some
of the guests began to leave Their eX-

A COIN TRICK.
Young Man AstOnished the Clerks In

down on the river front presented a
check at one of the banks the other day
and while the money was being counted
out amused himself by balancing coins on
the narrow edge of the paying teller's
window. Finally he performed an as
tonishing feat. He first balanced a sill

placed half dollar edge to edge on top
of it and completed the pyramid with a
bright new quarter. His manipulation as
he deposited the coins one on the other

Nearly everybody succeeded in balancing
the first dollar. and a few managed to

The Erect Was enc snme.

John Ruskin was a fearless critic and
made many enemies by his radical
views. He never considered the man or
the friend in his criticisms 1t was the
work itself that concerned him. He once
criticised, in his fearless way. the work
of well known painter, who was much
grieved at the effect. On hearing OF the
sorrow he had caused he wrote to the
artist that he regretted he could not
speak more fayorably of the picture, but
hoped it would make no difference in
their friendship. 1t is said the artist
wrote in reply;
Dear Ruskin-Next time ! meet you | shall
knock you down, but | hope II win make no diff
ference in our frendship.

Some of the delights of single blessed

bachelor who was sewing a button on
his overcoat without thimble. When
the needle was partly through the cloth,
he would force it farther by pressing the
shank against the wall; then he would
aid the movement by dragging the needle
forward with his teeth. He was engaged
in the latter part of the performance
when his teeth slipped from the needle,
and he fell backward from his chair to

1t is 400 years now since the first
known muff was worn. Venice was the
place. November was the month, name
of lady who introduced the fashion I'm
known Venice is not in cold climate
therefore it is odd that the fashion should
have originated there The Venetian
danes did not use the muff originally to
to protect their pretty hands. They used
it as a cuddling place for the small dogs
which were fashionable then. The first
muffs were made of cloths. mostly satin
or brocades, lined and bordered with fur

They Mixed.

When Lord Beauchamp, the British
governor of New South Wales first oc-
cupied the government house at Sydney,
he ordained that at official receptions
only guests of a certain rank should be
permitted to approach the presence
through designated doors. To these blue
tickets were awarded; to others of in
ferior mold, white.
At one function, through some mis-
management. an important public man
received blue card, while a white one
was sent to his wife. When the pair
reached the audience chamber. the lady
declined to be separated from her hus-
band or to abandon the aristocratic blue
ranks. An aidde-camp endeavored to
reason with her and explain the commo-
ton that would ensue if blue and white
were suffered to mingle together.
But the fair one was equal to the occa-
sion. Nonsense" said she as she press
