Liberty is no longer a war cry or
even a shibboleth. Freedom is a
shadow of a shadow. The cult of ma
tonalism has been submerged in the
cult of imperialism. There is more
pity than sympathy for the weak races.
and there is more reverence than ran
cor for the strong. Force is the FASH
icnable god, and force in alliance with
aVarice is the highest ideal of the
great nations
William Hazlitt, the great English
critic in the first quarter of the nine
teenth century, wrote this couplet
Learn to write slow; all other graces
viii follow in their proper places.
A writer in the Boston Atlantic
Monthly" tells of HaZlitts making a
grammar, and adds: The making of
it seems a. queer freak of a man of
Hazlitt's turn of mind; but then, as
Mr. Birrell observes, grammar has
its destinations, and even such men
as John Milton and John Wesley, no
less than William Corbett and Will
liam HaZlitt, succumbed 20 its
charm"

/ resume the consideration of bril-
and eminent English statesman and
orator and a very remarkably gifted
man in several ways, George Canning,
no doubt suffered in his reputation be-
cause of the exceeding brilliancy OF
his imagination. He was regarded,
most unjustly, by many as really in
ferior to men in his day who were
compared with him merely systematic,
persistent plodders. Sir James Mac
intosh, one of the most eloquent
speakers and profound writer's OF his
time. thus finely expresses himself in
regard to his great contemporary:
Had he been dry or meager
speaker, Mr.. Canning would have been
universally allowed to have been one
OF the greatest masters of argument:
but his hearers were SO dazZled by the
spIendor of his diction that they did
not perceive the acuteness and the oc-
casional excessive refinement of his
reasoning; a consequence which, as it
shows the injurious influence of Sc
ductiVe fault, can with the less just
ness be overlooked in the estimate of
his understanding. Ornament. ii must
be owned, when it only pleases or
amuses, without disposing the audi
ence to adopt the sentiments of the
speaker, is an offence against the first
law of public speaking; it obstructs
instead Of promoting its only reason
able purpose. But eloquence is a
widely extended art, comprehendlng
many sort of excellence. in some of
which ornamental diction is more lib
orally employed than in others. and in
none of which the highest rank can be
attained without an extraordinary
combination of mental powers"
These remarks OF the learned and
accomplished Scotch statesman, are
quite suggestive and worthy of accep-
tation. | could cite other opinions as
10 Mr.. CanningS very superior abili-
ties. Chief Justice Sharkey, consid-
cred in his day an exceedingly able
Jurist, was of the opinion that logical
power was really the distinguishing
and leading quality of Sergeant S.
frentiss's mind. This opinion he held
after long and intimate association
with the splendid orator, who hailed
from Mississippi but was born in New
England And yet Mr.. Prentiss was
chiefly known throughout the country
as a speaker of superlative brilliancy
and ornateness, as we'll as of tremen-
dous point and spirit. He was indeed
marvellous master of a most fasci-
mating and enthralling eloquence. In
his interesting life written by his
brother. and published some forty
years ago, the reader will perceive
that Rev. Prentiss was aware of his
chiefest eXcellence-his great powers
of accumulative and cogent reasoning.
But like some other comet-lilse men
Of genius, he flashed for little season
like an avatar of splendor and glory
over his native land, and presently

TIE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
IONS and other odorous vegetables.
! Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it Whitens the
teeth and further acts as n natural
and eminently safe cathartic
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal! and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozen-
geS; they are composed of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseDtics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion, SWeeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is. that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal. says: 81 adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; l also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores. and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet 1 be-
lieve I get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
