DANIEL, THE ELOQUENT.

Commenting on the speech Of Hon.
John ". Daniel, Eirginia's peerless
orator. on the occasion Of the centen-
NAL celebration in Washington City
last week, the Post says:
Il remained for Senator Daniel, OF
VIRGINIA. in one Of the most eloquent
speeches that he ever delivered, or
that has been heard in the hall Of
Representatives to revive the inter
est that had begun TO lag, not from
any fault Of previous speakers, but
from the unusual length Of the pro-
oramne His speech abounded with
epigrams, and rose quite to the Dig
nitv Of an epic poem in his aggran-
dizement OF the AngloSaXons and
other people whose blood is mingled
in the veins Of the composite Amerl-
can. His praise Of the Nation and
its achievements were couched IN
splendidly sounding phrases, and was
thoroughly American in its tone with
out being Overboastful. He declared
that our political clocks all kept the
same time, and following short
pause added after election" The
beautifully colored ceiling Of stained
glass rang with applause at this sally
and time and again subsequently as
he proceeded in his remarkable effort.
He compared the territory century
AFRO, the increase in production and
resources, with the present. and
reached his climax with a declaration
that the population had multiplied at
the ratio OF Is to !. but, when the
APPLAUSE had ceased, be renewed il

his eyes intent on the clear-cut face of
a young soldier in trim white uniform,
who, with much animation, was telling
of an event in the recent campaign.
By his side, her humid eyes following
his every gesture, sat tall, dark,
stylish girl, whose hand from time to
time crept forth to caress his-an evil
dent case of sister worship. Close at
hand another young fellow in spotless
white, his curly head bent far forward,
his elbows on his knees, his finger tips
joining, was studying silently the eff
feet of his comrades story on another
"a far girl whose sweet face, serene
and composed. was fully illumined by
the silvery light of the unclouded moon.
Coming by transport. via Honolulu
SGov's" cabled message had brought
father anG sister to meet him at these
famed Crossroads of the Pacific" and
whittier they journeyed Amy Lawrence,
too, must go, said they; and, glad of OPP
portunity to see the land of perennial
bloom and sunshine, and wearied with
long, long months of labor in the scrv-
ice of the Red Cross, the girl had will
ingly accepted their invitation. Coaled
and provisioned, the transport had
pushed on for the seven-day run for San
Francisco; but the recovering of his
long-lost son and the soft, reposeful at
mosphere of the lovely yet isolated is
land group had so benefited Mr.. Prime
that in family council it had been de-
cided wise for them to spend a week
or ten days longer at the Royal Ha-
waiian; and the boys had found no diff
ficulty in holding over" for the Sedg-
wick, that followed swift upon the heels
of their own ship. Five joyous days had
they together, and this, the fifth, had
been spent in sightseeing beyond the
lofty Pail of the northward side. The
20. & O." liner was coming in from
Yokohama even as they drove away;
and as they sat at dinner on the open
lanai, long hours later, it had been
mentioned by their host that the Sedg-
wick, too, had reached the harbor dur
ing the afternoon, and that army peo-
pie were passengers on both liner and
transport. Billy Gray, for one, began
to wish that dinner was over. He was
eager to get the latest news from the
Philippines, and the Sedgwick left Ma
Mia full q week behind their slower
craft.
"Did you hear who came with her?
he somewhat eagerly asked, cor on the
Doric?" he continued, with less enthu-
siasm.
81 did not" was the answer-"that
is, on the Sedgwick;" and the gentle
man halted lamely and glanced fur
lively and appealingly at his wife.

QUEER TITLE PAGE.
Whose Awful Author Adopted Allft-
eratiOns ArtfuI, Amazing and
Appropriate.

A book of extracts from various arl-
thors many years ago adopted a pecul-
lar alphabetical and alliterative title
page, on which the contents Of the
book were displayed in a most in
genious way. Every line began with a
successive letter of the alphabet, upon
which the whole line alliterated in a
most extraordinary and grotesque fash
ion, as may be seen from these few
examples culled from the mass:
Astonishing anthology from attrac'
tive authors
Broken bits from bulky brains.
Choice chunks from Chaucer to Chan
ming.
Jewels of judgment and jets of jocu-
iarity.
Kindlings to keep from the king to
the kitchen.
Magnificent morsels from mighty
minds.
Numerous nuggets from notable
noodles.
Prodigious points from powerful
pens.
Quirks and bubbles from queer quar-
tiers.
Tremendous thoughts on laundering
topics.
Wisps of wit in n wilderness of words.

"And you, too, Miss Lawrence?" Both

accepted. "Ah, then know how happy
you are, Mr.. Willie Gray!" beaming
arched, smiles upon that flushed and
flustered young officer. Then, turning
again to Irvine jeweled arm about the
slim waist of their. hostess, to whom
she chung as though defying any eff
fort to dislodge, yet pleading for pro-
lection. "Who on earth could have
foretold that we of all people should
have met out hereof all places? How
long did you say you had been out here?
A week? And of course, dear Mrs.
Marsden has done every thing to make
it lovely for you. I should have died
without her" And so the swift play of
words went on, the rapid fire of her
fluent tongue covering the movement
of her allies and drowning all posi-
bility of reply. 1t was an odd and try
ing moment. Mrs. Marsden, we'll know
ing, as who in Honolulu did not, of Mrs.
Franks devotion to the young lieu
tenant, barely six months agone, was
striving to welcome the shrinking little
scare-faced thing that blindly. and
helplessly had drifted in in the elder
sisters wake. The introductions that
followed, after the American fashion,
were as perfunctory as well-bred wom-
en- can permit. The greetings were al
most solemn, smileless, and, on part
of Mia, f1uttering to the verge of a
faint; and nothing but Witches
plucky and persistent support, and the
light flow of airy chat and laughter,
carried her through the ordeal. The
two young soldiers stood stif1y back,
red-faced and black-browed; the father,
pallid and cold, could hardly force him
self to unbend, yet his lips mumbled the
name 'Mrs. Frost" as he bowed at
presentation; Miss Prime stood erect
and trembling; Miss Lawrence, with
brave eyes but heightened color. To
leave at once was impossible; to re-
main was more than embarrassment
Most CALAMITY did they battle, Mrs.
Marsden and Mrs. Frank, to lift the
wet blanket from the group and relieve
the strain. Reward came to crown
their efforts in strange, rnlooked-fo
fashion.

A public notice was given in Lean

seemed 70 indicate that the parish of
ST. Paul's had some confidence in its
own perspicacity as we'll as an I'M

There was that embarrassing, interrog-

futility of concealment. 1t was Miss
Lawrence who quickly came to his re-

Athwart trackless depth that curves
In Gods majestic lines,
We wing a course that never swerves
For man or mans designs.
No need have we for chart by day,
Or compass rude by night
A Mind that made us gives us way,
And guides our steady fight.
The buildings of a million hands
Lie growing far below;
Created at proud mans commands,
Whose lust, as well, we know.
Be his the earth. Be ours the blue
That wells eternity,
From whence beneath our pinions true
His sprawling home we see.
Be ours frozen South and North
Unmarried by tread or word;
Where naught Of mildness issues forth,
Nor human voice is heard.
And ours the secrets of the green
That cloaks the wide morass.
Where meath a tropic sun we preen
Mid wastes of sedgy grass.
From zone to zone, from goal to goal,
Within a day we fly.

Our path the boundless sky.

THE CARS GRAND FETES.
Far Surpass In SplendOr All Similal
Functions of Other European
Courts.

For splendor and brilliancy the balls
of the Winter palace at ST. Petersburg
probably surpass those of any other
European capital, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
The halls of the immense edifice ore
filed with precious collections of arts.
tic and rare objects, respondent in the
rays of the electric lights.
Groups of exotic plants and masses
of rare flowers lend beauty to the
scene. The richness of the palace har.
monies with the richness of the cos.
tunes of the imperial court. Russian
beauty is heightened by the gorgeous
national costumes.
The military and civil uniforms of in
comparable richness. ornamentation
and color form a superb setting for the
band of lovely court danes.
At the balls of the Winter palace the
guests ale the ladies of the czarina's
suite, the members of the diplomatic
corps, with their ladies; the members
of the council of the empire, the minis
tiers, military and civil functionaries,
the two principal charge d'affaires Of
the court, several chamberlains and
gentlemen of the chamber. a certain
number of officers and nearly always
about 900 guests.
Toward II the car. accompanied by.
te empress and members of his fam
lily, enters the room while the band
plays the national hymn. This is the
signal for the dancing, which lasts un.
til time for refreshments, which are
served in the hall of Nicholas l., trans.
formed into garden by tropical
pants.
At the table of honor the empress
takes her place, with the heads of the
embassies and foreign legations and
their respective ladies. The grand
dukes and other guests are scattered
about the other tables. The emperor
never eats on these occasions. but, ac-
companied by the minister of the court
and by the grand marshal of the pal
ace, makes a tour of the tables, ap-
preaching now one guest and then an
other, and giving to each a pleasant
word. During the evening several or
chestras play, and when the final
cotillion is danced a very handsome
favor is presented to each dancer.
