MAGIC OF THE HUMAN VOICE.
Charms in the Vocal Utteranees Of
Readers. Speakers, and Singers.

There is wonderful magic in the human
voice. Not only does il work miracles in
song. holding thousands entranced by its
spell, but il is alike powerful on the plat
FORM in the forum. on the hustiugs, or in
the simpler office Of reading aloud.
While we recognize this power. there is
nothing more difficult To define in words
than the peculiar charms one Gnds IN the
voices Of certain readers and speakers,
whose tones and methods are as unlike
as one class Of energies can well be from
another. One speaker may possess a deep,
sonOrous voice full of musical cadences
and gently falling infections, while that
of another may be almost falsetto in the
fineness and clearness Of its tones, and
run as naturally to high keys and rising
infections as the other does to mellow
descents. While a third may be wanting
in the musical qualities and yet win our
attention by its sympathy with the speak
er's thought. When the speakers thought
is one OF great force and power such
voice becomes sort Of ThOr's hammer 10

drive home the orators logic and TX 1T IN
the mind Of the hearer.

i've voice is we'd to. OF directed by, strong
intellect The rule Is the reverse Of this
and II Is the exceptions 70 the rule that
give the world its great popular orators.
Another thing is also worthy Of notice
in this behalf: Every great orator Is, 10
a large degree, original in his methods.
Even his infections must be his own, and
il is very seldom that they are in hsr-
mony with the teachings Of the books
The great orator may appropriate much
Of value from the training Of the elocu-
zionist, but the great orator is law Unto
himself.
Henry Clay's reputation as great pub
lie speaker arose largely from his sOnOr-
Gus voice and well-rounded periods.

than he dealt more in humOr, OF which
he was the most conspicuous master that

which. however. was scarcely distinguish
able in the rapid fire Of his clear. soprano
utterances. Smith was not great on the
printed page. but as a popular orator on
the stump he had no superior and few
equals. Cassius N. Clay roared like a rail-
way train speeding over a long trestle,
but, in the rumble his words were, at
little distance indistinct. II was not so
with Smith. As far as you could hear the
ringing tones Of his voice YOU could distin-
gush his words and follow the line OF his
thought. although he spoke with much
greater rapidity than Clay George W
Julian spoke slowly and distincrively, He
was the best master Of the weapons OF
irony and sarcasm the State ever produced.

The truth was that Washington could

Detectives working on N Death of
Six Years Ago.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, April ls.-Two
P,nkerton detectives have been at work at
German, on the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg Railway, near the Garrett coun-
ty (Maryland) line for two weeks on two
mysterious murders. resulting, il is claim
ed. in the discovery Of the identity Of the
body OF a man found partially cremated
on a brush pile near German six years ago
as Orin Seeley, whom they have been try
ing 10 locate since that time.
Seeiey's parents are said to live in Alex
andria. and to be quite wealthy. Seeley's
body was found a few days after the mur-
der of Preston E. Haldeman. the mining
superintendent at Franklin Mine right
after he had stepped off the train on his
way to pay the miners. The murderers
secured over $4,000. The actors in the
Seeley and Ealdeman crimes are believed
&c be the same individuals. Two arrests
were made right after the crimes and the
men were released by Justice Andrew
Gonder. at Oakland, for want of evidence.
II is now claimed that these were the
right men and the detectives have gone TO
a town in Pennsylvania, where they have

In some localities in the northern

In those districts where heavy rains

tent. many correspondents report that
crop is practically assured. In most

report the crop damaged one-third or
more, and in portions of the southern

ruined.
