II "I eoili a striking instance of re this. In 1811 L attended a \Vhit btrbecue at Knoxville, Tenn. Thi' a mlorning speeches had been n.ak w by Hl.on John Bell and myself, and sl t.ito harge auidienco had partaken of !qi the barbecue. On our return to T tue stand I genti 11111 of high gi p)sitiiu spoke for nearly three mu loil's in suchi an excellent Im7anner s ;ts to keep us in excellent 1hmor, p an1d cre(ated1 ablnost incessanlt laugh ter, and we broke upl) in the b,est spirits. On the next morning C( euiehtor Spencer Jernagan spoke I I for two hours to a very attentivo - cl a1udien1Ce, witihout, however, cauin1g iVE at smile in the vast assembly. After | t h(; concluded i prominent Tenneq- 01 see politician s:id to mo, referring e1 to Jcrnagan, 'He is the man that we bi owe th' r..volittion in Eat Ten- ' i csee to' I asked, inquiring if j}' the go::lttn who had spoken the t.c evelling before did not hlip alen. Il He replied, 'No ; he is a fine man a for at i-allo, but he never makes us8 a s vo.' ~ G "In 1800 I was present (it a i barbhecuoia wL ~hich a you1ng gontlo.' l maEn occupied most of tho day.

Had 'mi good bandplye3d leasanUt airs tile as .-mnbly wonld have been as highlyu (I''. talitned, and1 just as decided a - po limnpressiory would have beenmadoon it. "In 1872 I had an amusing ilhis~th tration) of the downwanrd tendeney , produced by ethe fashion now so jhi muobic ml vogue. A young mal he whose opportumitios to acquireoa ciducation bad beenl limited, but whio had commenced tihe study of t,he la1w, said to mec : General, I vish t> loirn how you great Sena tors usedl t'o do in tihe Senate. I jwish particularly to hear about rN Webster;i was be not a mighty man on an anedoto ?' TIhe question struck me as so ludicrous that ~I found it diffHoult to avoid layghing. oi A moment's reflectioq, -however, le onabled me to understand how he bi cam tpoeppuh ani idea. A'0i speech ab uejg in aneedo,tes had a1b4 few weeks previously been mead. in a that r.egio1n and some of the paper0 en 8tat.ed that this was t greatest jupeech that had been msahI since Ithe times of Clay apd Webeter, "4 Genuine wit is a bighly intelleotual E and impor tant faeglby. It h'as been ti well 8ard that no one ever laughed w loudJ at a thingreally witit. Vbon reat English debater, Charles ines Fox, was pronoqlnced the ittiest man of his day. His wit as most strikingly sho,wn when in he Course of his powerful argument e so exposed the positions of his dversaries as to make thern appear uprenely ridic:dous. 14r. Web ter, in s less degree, sometimes xhibited this quality. Wholly nlike it, and most denoralizing to io public taste, is that counterfeit, species of buffoonery, which con st.s in tlhe retailing of stale anoc, otes, after the fashion of Christy's iinstrols or the circus clown, who elivers his jokes around at his iccessivo performanceos." Kato Southern, who murdered a ooman of wh,om she was joalous, rites to a G3orgia newspaper as >llows, describing her situation in ie Georgia penitentiary : "I might rpeet the cold embrace of rattling ham, r riped clothes, hard labor, Marse diet, and even tho lash ; but ot so in ily case. I am put to. ght work, cutting and making. cnvict clothes; not ironed as thers, not, draped in convict ripes : have a good and whole, ) e diet, such as my keepers have po tl4e family table ; no threats f thp lath ; no cooking for the onvicts, and no such thing as Lgretting I had not been hung. lease, for the sake of a humiliated idl unfori,unate woman, correct thq ports in circulation, so unjust to y dear keepers, and you will re ive the thanks of one so injured id disgraced." SARA BERNIlART, the great French agic actress, haa a chamber draped black as night. Opposite the stress' bed is a large mirror, and rectly in front of the mirror andis the skeleton Qf a inan who ed for love. The skeleton was un1d in Italy. There it forever ares and grins ghastly at Bern irt as she lies in bed. And she ves the skeleton dearly-so she .ys. It calls *to mind the old oman custom of placing such a minder of njortality at the ban 1ct table, among the gay revellers life's feast, to keep the Ilihirity ithin due bounds. And Bernhart's weleton seems to perform tlii.s iiet office of guard in her ch-un'>cr. he idea is very Frenchy and .ietly grim. Sarah is lerself an iiiuated skeleton and much of her cccss is due to her ghostly ap_ 3aranco. The British theologiansha we dis verod a prophecy of what has Ippened at Berlin in the eightli &pter of Zachariah, and the last rso: "In those days it shall comq pass that ton nen shall take hold it of all languagee of the nations ,on shall take hold of the skirt of in that is a Jew, saying, We will > with you: for we have heard at God is with you." The con ution is that there are ten lan iages "of the nations" represnted Berlin-German. English, Rus in, French, Italian, Turkish reek, Roumnanian, Serb 'and agyar.
