O'Connell a. an Orotoh


Few orators have been 80 foetunGAo
as Daniel O'Connell in their physical
appeal to the senses. Grattan, Cur
ran, Emmett, She'll and Meagher were
small men, not the least impressive to
the eye. O'Connell was . man Of royal
aspect HIS voice was seducuvely
musical-the most musical, according
to Disraeli, ever heard In the house of
commons. 1t was soft, Of great COM
pass, capable Of expressing every i'm
aginable emotion. His eyes, light in
color and full, flashed or beamed or
burned, according to the sentiment ex-
pressed. His contemporaries all men
ton the expressibility Of his mouth.
His gestures were free and bold. not In
the least suggestive Of elocution and
yet infinitely graceful and apt. There
was nothing in his manner indicative
of preparation. His manner was easy
and without effort. Wendell Phillips,
who heard him. says in his lecture:
I'VE used to say of Webster, This 10
q great effort of Everett, 1t is a beau
tiful effort but you never used the
word effort in speaking Of O'Connell.
1t provoked you that he would not
make an effort."-"The Irish Orators"

Tho Evil Eye.

1t is probable that the "evil eye" for
which many hapless old women were
harried to their death on the suspicion
Of witchcraft in 1.-The good old days"
was no more than a common squint, a
least" in the eye, or "bossing," as It
is called in many parts Of the country
to this day. writes DR.. n. Bishop Har-
man in the British Journal Of Chill
dren's Diseases. Not only was the
squirt thought to be Of evil signifi-
canoe, but the defect itself was con-
sidered to be the work Of evil spirits.
In King Lear" we find the following
in the scene on the heath at night:
This Is the foul fiend Fhbbertigtb-
get He begins at curfew and walks
till the first cock; he gives the web and
the pin. squints the eye and makes
the harelip. mildews the white meat

A Deadly Industry.

One Of the most deadly callings and
one Of which very little is known is
that of the workers in champagne cell
lars. The work. which is light and
without any obvious elements Of risk
to health. consists in turning over the
bottles Of champagne so that the wine
may be clear and transparent and alb
solutely free from sediment. The men
who do this work spend eight or ten
hours a day in the dark wine cellars.
turning over bottles by the thousand.
This monotonous duty they discharge
day after day in semidarkness, in a
high temperature. unhealthy atmos-
phere and absolute solitude. These
combined conditions affect the nerves
and health Of the workers so seriously
that few Of them can continue at their
posts until middle age.-London Mir

The first act was especially fine. The

s,ene with the stage banked in green
and white and bright flowers. The
,ceoe was laid in hotel in Washing
nm in 1861 and represented the state
of society just previous to the out
hreak Of the Civil War. A fashionable
hon was in progress and the sound of
.he music could be heard throughout
the scene.
The second act occurred the morn
ing after the dance in the same room.
The third act was laid in the draw :
iry room of a New York hotel at the
time when the news of the firing upon
Sumter had just been received. AT the
close of the scene the Union troops are
seen marching to the war The effect
was made more realistic by the intro
duction of military music, drum rolls
and shouts of the citizens.
The fourth act showed a Confederate
camp at Winchester, Va, near the
close of the war, and an attack by the
Union troops upon the camp was made
during this scene and at it's close the
Confederate flag which floated over the
camp was hauled down and the Stars
and Stripes run up in its place.
