Ancient Inkstands.

An inkstand that was probably in
use three thousand four hundred-odd
years ago is now exhibited in a Ber1
lin museum. 1t is of Egyptian Makes
and is supposed to belong to the
eighteenth or nineteenth dynasty, or
somewhere about 1900 B. c., although
it's real age can be judged only ap-
proximately. 1t is made of wood, and
has two compartments, an upper one
provided with two holes, one for black
and one for red ink, and lower one
for holding reed pens. The black and
the red ink are certainties; for some
still remains, in a dry condition, with
in the receptacles. Another ancient
inkstand is supposed to have been in
tended for the use of a schoolboy. It
would certainly hold ink enough for a
schoolboy's needs; for it has no fewer
than four ink holes. Both inkstands
were found at Thebes.

Cleveland Read to It, Merely as Mat
ter of Courtesy, His Famous Ven
ezuela Message That Sharply
Warned Great Britain.

In the biography of Grover Cleve-
land which was written by his init
mate personal friend, George F. Park
er, there appears a brief account of
the manner in which President Cleve-
land wrote his now historic Venezue-
la message. Great Britain and Ven
ezuela had become involved in very
serious difference respecting the
boundary line between Venezuela and
British Guiana At one time it looked
as though Great Britain would settle
that question by force of arms. Presi-
dent Cleveland, when the situation
was acute, went to the south of North
Carolina for brief hunting trip, as
was presumed, but really for the
purpose of deciding what part he
should take in the controversy, and
and when and how. Upon his return
from that trip he asked the secretary
OF the treasury, John G. Carlisle, to
come to the White House, for he had
an important matter to discuss with
him.
AS soon as Mr.. Carlisle responded
to this summons, Mr.. Cleveland took
from drawer in his desk some manu-
script. He started to read from it to
Mr.. Carlisle, but was interrupted;
]. Sterling Morton, who was member
of the cabinet, came into the presi-
dents Office. When the president saw
who it was that had thus unexpected
~ appeared, he hastily put the man.
uscript in the drawer but after Mr.
Morton had departed the president fin
ished reading the document to Mr..
Carlisle.
The next day congress, the country,
Great Britain, the entire civilized
world, were startled by the presidents
Venezuela message. 1t practically pro-
claimed to Great Britain that the
United States would not permit Great
Britain to settle her boundary dispute
with Venezuela by violence or force
of arms. Many persons believed at
that time, and have since believed,
that this message was really written
by the secretary of state, Richard
Olney.
Some time ago the attention OF Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, attorney gen.
eral during the latter half of the sec-
ond Cleveland administration. was
called to this brief statement, made
by Mr.. Parker in his biography.
THE statement is correct as far as
it goes" said Governor Harmon. But
it does not go quite far enough. The
most dramatic and the entirely unique

Didn't Ask Cabinets Advice

incident that occurred during my two
years cabinet service under Presi-
dent Cleveland is associated with that
Venezuelan message.
THE entire cabinet was In session.
The president took some manuscript
from a drawer, saying that he desired
to read something which he had writ
ten, to the members of the cabinet.
He then began reading what is now
known as his Venezuela message. A
majority of the members of the cab
met had no intimation that the pres
ident purposed writing a message of
that kind / sat near William l. Will
son, the postmaster general, and occa-
sionally we looked up and exchanged
glances. Our glances told the same
story. We were surprised and we
were not a little startled by the
emphatic manner in which the presi-
dent had sounded the note of warn
ing
After the president had finished
reading the message 1 presume every
member of the cabinet expected that
he would ask for the opinions of the
cabinet respecting the expediency of
sending such message to congress.
But Mr.. Cleveland did nothing of the
kind. For some moments there was
perfect silence, and there was no dis
cussion of the message, for the presi-

According to Chauncey Depew, He
Never Wrote Out His Orations-
Bunker Hill Address Composed
While Trout Fishing.

Col. Robert G. Ingerson once mar
rated to me the manner in which Dan
lei Webster composed his great
speech in reply to Hayne, and | re-
ported that anscdote some time ago.
The anecdote caught the eye of Sen
ator Chauncey NJ Depew, and was OF
especial interest to him because Amer
lean oratory and the methods OF COM
position which American orators have
adopted have long been a favor1te
study with him.
Il have no doubt" said Senator
Depew. that Colonel Ingersoll was
perfectly correct in stating that Dan
lei Webster made only few notes OF
his intended reply to Hayne, so that
he might be guided by them while de-
livering his speech, but that otherwise
he did not put word OF his speech
into writing, for the reason that, as
Webster said, he had been for more
than thirty years studying the subject
SO that he was alwayr prepared to
speak upon it.
st am convinced that this was Web
ster's way in the preparation OF all his
great speeches; 1 do not believe that
he ever wrote out line of his
speeches. In that respect he was very
different from William II. Seward and
Roscoe C0nkling, who bestowed In
finite care and patience in the prep
aratior of their speeches, writing out
avarv limo weighing every word.
Seward, through the mechanical or
automatic action of his mind. imprint
ed speech upon his memory by the
writing of 1t and the reading OF 1T
over. Conkling was compelled to sub
NIT himself to the drudgery of learn
ing a speech by heart, for he had
very poor verbal memory. Webster
would have regarded it as humilia-
ton to his hearers to read a speech

Harmon's Cabinet Position

name Richard Olney. But when the
question arose, Whom shall 1 nomi-
nate for attorney general?" the presi-
dent faced different sort of problem.
He felt that 1t would be expedient to
select an attorney general from the
west. He turned over several names
in his mind; none of them quite salts
fed him. He was anxious to get a
new man, a strong man, a popular
man, and one whose record as a Demo
crat could not be questioned
In this embarrassment he turned, as
he often did when he sought advice,
to the secretary of the treasury, John
G. Carlisle. He summoned Mr. Car
Isle to the White House one evening.
and then said: Carlisle, l wish you
could suggest good lawyer-it does
not require very great lawyer to do
good service as attorney general-a
man who lives somewhere in the west.
and whose nomination for attorney
general would be approved by all who
knew him. And / would like a new
man, if possible, new in the sense
that he is not now actively identified
with politics."
Il know just the man, think, you
are looking for" said Mr.. Carlisle
His name is Judson Harmon. AS a
lawyer, he stands high at the Ohio
bar"
Mr.. Cleveland then asked a good
many questions, and, among others, If
Carlisle had personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Harmon. In reply, Carlisle
said that he had become acquainted
with Mr.. Harmon at the time when he
(Carlisle) was practicing law in Gov
ington, KY, directly across the Ohio
river from Cincinnati.
At that interview Mr. Cleveland did
not say whether or not he should &C
cept Mr.. Carlisle's recommendation
The next day, however, a messenger
from the White House carried note
to Secretary Carlisle. 1t was from
President Cleveland. and it contained
only these words:
What was the name of that man
whom you recommended yesterday for
attorney general?"
Carlisle's reply was quite as brief;
he wrote with pencil upon a slip of
paper: "Judson Harmon of Cincinnati.
Ohio"
Two hours later President Cleve-
land sent to the senate the nominal
ton of Judson Harmon for attorney
general; and after he had established
personal acquaintance with the new
attorney general, he made haste to
thank Secretary Carlisle for having
recommended a man of such ability
and integrity as the successor of
Richard Olney.

Webster's Way of Preparing

to them. In fact, in his day 1t was
very rarely that a speech was read,
and any public man who adopted that
method destroyed instantly all chance
for reputation as an orator.
Webster, like Wendell Phillips,
used to compose his speeches wher-
ever he was, and whenever the con-
ditions were favorable. Phillips used
to walk the streets of Boston, and get
inspiration for some of his most elo-
quent sentences. Webster wrote men
tally some of the greatest of his
speeches while he was fishing the
trout streams near his beautiful sea-
shore place at Marshf1eld, Mass.
81 have heard that just prior to the
delivery of his great Bunker Hill ora
ton, on the f1ftieth anniversary Of the
battle of Bunker Hill, Webster went
fishing with a friend in one of the
trout streams near Marshfield. 1t was
In April, about two months before the
Bunker Hill Grafton was delivered.
Suddenly the friend observed that
Webster, while still casting fly, had
become completely absorbed with his
thoughts. His lips moved, he spoke
to himself, his whole manner changed,
so that his appearance was that of
the orator, and his companion knew
that Webster was composing an ora
grafton.
"A few weeks later, when Webster
delivered the Grafton at Bunker Hill,
and reached the now famous apos-
trophe addressed to the survivors of
the battle, beginning: Venerable men,
you have come down to US from a past
generation the friend instantly recog-
nized the words. He had heard that
much wheD Webster, while fishing,
spoke in low tone to himself. And
then he knew that it was while Web
ster was wading brook and casting
a fly for trout that he had been in
spfred with the composition of this,
the most memorable portion of his
great Bunker Hill address"
