If "all great people have great menio- tai r 'ries," as Sir Arthur Helps declares in Lu s his delightful book entitled "Social Wh Piessure," it by no means follows that and all those who are possessed of great "hi; re memories are "great people." Many nul. an instance might be cited to show mel thai; men of very moder-te intellectual, one )f capacity may be endowed with apower as t of memory which is truly prodigious. fani d In addition to this there are plenty of Son o well authenticated examples of the ex- f ft3 a traordinary power of memory displayed even by idiots. In the memoirs of Mrs. - Somerville there is a curious account of a most extraordinary verbal memory. Ne )f "There was an idiot in Edinburgh," Le she tells us, "of a respectable family, 11 who had a remarkable memory. He N )f never failed to go to the kirk on Sun- mal day, and on returning home could on 1- repeat the sermon, saying: 'Here the to b .d minister coughed; here he stopped to tion ; blow his nose." "During the tour we As < 1e made in the Highlands," she adds, Jud !o "we met with another idiot who knew woL the Bible so perfectly that if you asked 6, C r him where such a verse was to be found loca he could tell without hesitation and will s. repeat the chapter." to I .e Of a similar kind is the memory for tion which Daniel McCartney has become wee te famous in the United States. The hol< d strange story of 'this man's achieve- thai ments is told by Mr. - Henkle in the arra n Journal of Speculative Philosophy. T d McCartney, in 1869, declared that he med could remember the day of the week mit for any date from January, 1827, that tee. is, from the time when he was 9 years to h It and 4 months old-forty-two and a nigl *n half years. He has often been tested, atte > and, so far as Mr. Henkle's account The h goes, had not failed to tell his question- the e er "what day it was," and to give some All( )f information about the weather and diar about his own whereabouts and doings Lie1 on any one of the 15,000 or more dates syl n that might be named. With all this Den singular power of memory, however, 'o( s he is not a man whose general grasp of buri mind is at all noteworthy. We, THE RICH GIFT OF MEMORY. lins The same may be said of scores of T: s, men whose one rich gift of memory on - has brought them into prominence. No Tw< one has claimed any high intellectual will d rank for the renowned "Memory Cor- one a ner Thompson," who drew from actual Uni memory, in twenty-two hours, at two for sittings, in the presence of two well- Den , known gentlemen, a correct plan of the 'A .d parish of St. James, Westmins.er, with the s parts of the parishes of St. Marylebone, M., . St. Ann and St. Mortin; who could tell star 1e the corner of any great leading thor- tari oughfare from Hyde park corner or zatil dOxford street to St. Paul's who could Isigr o "take an inventomy of a gentlenman si prol r- house from attic to ground fioor and the rswrite it out afterward. He did this at of t Lord Nelson's at Merton, and at the j, s,Duke of Kent's, in the presence of two ovei .noblemien- any Since the rcvival of learning in Eu- ina< rope there have been scores, yea, hun- out dreds of scholars who have known moi "their Homer" by heart and a thous- mor P. and other things besides. Bishop thei Saunderson, old Isaac WValton tells us, bani could repeat all the odes of Horace, all T ~~ Tully's offices and the best pa t of abo Y Juvenal and Persuis. Euler, the mathec- said 4 matician, and Liebnitz, the philoso- Ger to pher, could recite the iEneid from be- moi >r ginning to end. In their (lay Porson, affa of Elmsley, Parr and Wakefield held the ani 2- foremost places as scholars, and all, of wh< o course, had rare memories; but the turi Spalm must be given to Porson, of g er whom endless stories are told. Before exe, Y he went to Eton he was able to repeat stat it almost the whole of Horace, Virgil, crat is Homer, Cicero and Livy. Whe n, asa wot 'practical joke, a schoolfellow slipped It iF I- the wrong book into Porson's hand, mai e just as he was about to read and trans- reat late, the boy was not disconcerted, but fror wvent on to read from his memory, as if Der -nothing had occurred. In later life his hin: >r performances approached the nmiracu lous. It would require all onr space to it give any fair idea of them, for he not - only knew all the Greek poets and Sprose writers pretty well by heart, but Scould recite whole plays of Shakes e peare, or complete books from "Para 11 disc Lost," Pope's "Rape of the Leek," B Barrow's sermons, scenes from Foote, tre" r-Edgeworth's "Essays on Irish Bulls," of a >- scores of pages from Gibbon or Rapin. surr OF THE GIGANTIC ORDER. in a Gilbert Wakefield's memory was also mati of the gigantic order, but it will not Alnt bear comparison with Porson's. There Lot were few passages in Honier or Pindar awi which he could not recite at a mo- W-. t- ment's notice; Virgil and Horace lhe the :o knew perfectly, and he could recite eloi Is entire books from the Old and New wel ig Tes aments without halting or failing esta s, in a single verse. There was also John can 5- Wyndhiam Bruce, whose leisure time thei 1- was devoted to classical studies.

He knew his Horace in the same cou y way, and was quite content until one of t d day he met with an old fellow student of 3 at Bonn, who, when he made a quota- Mn tion, would mention book, ode and er's verse, remarking that he did not re- bres gard any one as knowing Horace prop- let:] ie erly unless he could do that.

" d ~ ~ t [Chicago Tribune Interview.] f i- Mark Twain, traveling incognito t i- under the name of "S. L. Clemens, S one wife, three children, one maid," . was at the Richelieu hotel. He leaned 11 i on the stone steps in front of the hotel, s e smoking a putative cigar. Mark a e Twain's literary fame is so great that b it it has somewhat cast into the shade o his abilities as a smoker. He smokes y like an artist. lie holds the cigar be tween his finger and thumb, and con . emplates it in a dreamy fashion. y Thenv raises it slowly to his lips, draws gently, and closes his eyes. S After a judicious interval he removes n the cigar, and the smoke rolls out s under his long mustache with all the grace of a first dancer drifting on the j stage. Then he opens his eyes. Mark i TwaLin looks as little like himself as it r is possible for a man to look. He wore O e a gray suit, a tall white hat, and a t wide white tie such as New York b brokers affect. His long, drooping o - mustache, his well curled hair, and b 1 somewhat profuse jewelry made one ] e think of a successful. horseman or the a r manager of a popular burlesque. p e But no one ever had such a satisfac- t e tory drawl. It established the fact e Y that he was Mark Twain beyond all n possibility of quibbling. A woman s e could "do up" her hair twice while he a n is pronouncing the word Mississippi. t2 He lingers over it, plays with it, handles - e it as a young mother does her first baby. - "We came in last night," he said, a I- pulling at the left side of his mustache. a - Mrs. Clemens is not very well, neither e d am I. I have been amusing the chil- 1 e dren. I have taken them to a pano- g e rama. I understand there are three 1. others near here. I will take them t .t there too, I want to satiate them h e with battles-it may amuse them." - Three little girls composed of three t red gowns, three red parasols and six t - blue stockings stood on the steps and f grinned. 14 r "Run up and tell mamma what a a jolly time you've had and I'll think of a f something else to amuse you." THREE LITTLE GIRLS. When the three little girls had dis appeared Mr. Clemens sighed. "Did d you ever try to a muse three little girls at the same time ?" he asked, after a C pause; "it requmres genius. I wonder whether they would like to bathe in the lake?"' he continued, with sudden ani Ination, hardly pausing five minutes t between each word, "it might amuse t them." c "Are you on your vacation trip, Mr. t e Clemens?" C "No; I have just returned from a d visit to my notherin Keokuk, Iowa. t She is 83 years old and I had not been C s home for over a year. We came from I n~ Buffalo to Duluth by a lake steamer i rt and then from St. Paul down the river I to Kuokuk. Neither in this country I snor in any other have I ssen such in- t steresting scenery as that along the up- E 5 per Mississippi. One finds all that the' dHudson affords-bluffs and wooded - 0 highlands-and great deal in addition. 3 "t ween St. Paul and the mouth of the a d flliniois river there are over four hun- I Sdred .islands. strung out in every pos- C sible shape. A river without islands is ] Clike a woman without hair. She may 5 s~ be good and pure, but one doesn't fall C U in love with her very often. Did you a is ever fall in love with a bald-headedi Ce woman ?" The reporter admitted that E d he had drawn the line there. Ce "I never did, either," continued Mr. E 11 Clemens, meditatively ; "at least I ( think I never did. Tfhere is no place < iffor loafing more stisfactory than the iC pilot house of a Mississippi steamboat. 3 3- It amuses the children to see the pilot :e monkey with the wheel. Traveling by 'a ~'boat is the best way to travel unless -one can stay at home. On a lake or n river boat one is as thoroughly cut j s~ off from letters and papers and the tax y Y collector as though he were amid sea. t Moreover one doesn't have the dis c>miforts of seafaring. It is very un pleasant to look at sea sick people-at least so my friends sidL the last time I crossed." a "It might amuse the children, t thongh," suggested the reporter. AMUSING THE CHILDREN. ] - "I hadn't thought of~'that," replied -s Mr. Clemens ; "but perhaps it might. 8 6 The lake seems rather rough to-day- I *e I wonder whether one could get a.boat 3~ m- that would bob considerably. Yes, it j y might amuse tne children." ] y "But at such a sacrifice." 1 rt "Yon are not a p)arent ?" replied Mr. 1 ~e Clemens. The reporter admitted his 1 -e guilt. e "It is strange," contiuued Mr. Clem- t a ens, in momentary forgetfulness of the t o children, "how little has been written '] -e about the upper Mississippi. The river E le below St. Louis has been described time I .', and again1, and it is the least interest ~r ing part. One can sit in the pilot it house for a few hours and watch the a low shores, the ungainly trees and the e democratic buzzards, and then one d might as well go to bed. One has seen I Is everything there is to see. Along the I -e upper Mississippi every hour bringst 1. something new. There are crowds of i 1- odd islands, bluffs, prairies, hills, woods :o aradl villages-everything one could de-( >,t sire to amuse the children. Few peo- C it ever think of going there, however. 3 e. Dickens, Corbett, Mother Trollope and < a the other discrminating English peo- I :o ple who 'wirote up' the country before 3 y 184 had hardly anyv idea that such a I ec stretch of riv er scenery existed. Their t successors have followed in their foot steps, and*as we form our opinions of I ur country from what other people iy of us, of course we ignore the finest art of the Mississippi." T It might be incidentally remarked dat it were worth going fifty miles on )ot, if one couldn't get a pass, to hear fr..Clemens unravel the word Mis ssippi. At this moment the three little girls tl i the three 'red gowns and six blue s tockings appeared, and Mr. Clemens s asumed the shape of an amusement t< ureau. i] SHE FORGOT HER BUSTLE, 1 nd Left $1,606 Tied Up in it at a Kansas City Hotel. d KANSAS CITY, Mo., August 26.- t( M.

( POSTPONED ELEVEN DAYS. he Aiken Convention Adjourns Without Making a Nomination--Pour Days of Hard Labor and 173 Bauots AU Gone for No Purpose. [Special to the World.] AIKEN, August 31.-Appearances at ie court house to-day presented a busy ene, yet nothing seemed to be doing. 'o one knew what was up, but plainly every one there was something mov ig in the political atmosphere. The [enderson and Aldrich men were rest ss, while the Tillman men were wear ig a confident smile. Every one said ie deadlock must and would be broken uring the day, but from what quarter > expect the break was a mystery. he Barnwell men were anxious to get ome to the election, to be held to-mor >w. The election is going on at [ampton, but the delegates did not em to care to leave the'pure and beau ful town of Aiken. Some of them ,e contemplating purchasing a home id removing here to live. The twenty-five delegates want Till tan beat; not from any personal or unty reasons, but from principle. He es not represent their views, but nei ter Aiken or Barnwell are willing to ve up their own pet candidate to beat im. The convention was called to order o>mptly at 10 o'clock, and balloting ?gan at once. The same old tune was eard-roll-call, delegates voting for :eir man, the president calling out: Same result; no change; prepare for ie next ballot." The delegates were all busy, appar itly, reading the newspapers, but mething was up. The Aiken and Barnwell men were .tting feverish. Something must be ne. There was an adjournment at ., and the Barnwell, Aiken and Colle n delegations went into a caucus. There was considerable feeling -ouid yesterday when Mr. Alfred idrich opposed the resolution of Col. [cSweeny to submit the nomination the people. Mr. Aldrich's remarks ere as follows: "The gentleman prefaced the offering the resolutions with the statement iat he offered them in fairness as a >lution of the difficulty with which e now contend. If those resolutions his idea of fairness,then to my mind e has a singular idea of what consti ites fairness. If I am not misin >rmed, a convention was held in June st to decide how this nomination iould be made. It was there decided iat it should be made by convention ad the counties of Hampton and dgefield were there and voted for it." Mr. Timmerman, of Edgefield, "The )unty of Edgefield did not vote for it." Mr. Aldrich, continuing: "The vote ,as unanimous that the nomination iould be by convention. Mr. Tillman >mes before this convention and, fail ig to get a nomination, he row wants refer it back to primaries. What as irance have we that, failing to secure 2e nomination in the primaries, he ould not then resort to independent in? I believe the motion is utterly neonstitutional, and for this reason I ppose it." Mr. McSweeney, of Hampton: "The entleman surely forgets himself, Mr. hairman, when he hints at indepent mn in Hampton or Edgefield counties. tuh a thing has never been known or ven suggested as an independent can idate in the loyal old Democratic xongholds of Edgefield and Hampton. will not be so unkind as to ask the entleman if such a thing was never inted at in Barnwell. [Applatise.] ir, Mr. Tillman has been an earnest hampion of organized Democracy all is life, and no one can justly intimate bat he would do anything tending to rards independentism. I take it on ayself to say for Mr. Tillman that he rill never seek any honor or prefer aent outside of the ranks of the-orga ized Democracy." [Applause.] It was long after the hour when he convention was to convene before he caucus of Aiken, Barnwell and olleton put in their appearance. When hey entered the ball there was a reathiess silence, but the counten nces of the delegates spoke for them hat there was no break. The first ballot was taken in silence, s.ve for the secretary's voice and the oter's reply. The last name on the role ras called, and there was no change. Lfter three more ballots Colonel Saw er offered a resolution to take a recess ntil Tuesday, the 11th day of Septem er. Tho. resolutions were opposed by Mr. )enny, who wanted to continue the rork until it was decided. Mr. Tillin hast also opposed the motion, and bought it not wise for the convention >take a recess, now, when they 1'illman) had about reached the goal. There was a little wrangling as to the ay, when CoL. Sawyer called for the 1otion, which was carried amid a ring pplause from the twenty-five anti 'illman men. Thus ended the work of the conven ion, after 173 ballots and four days' ard work, without accomplishing nything. The delegates all expressed them elves pleased with their trip, and after be hard work by the delegates for beir respective candidates, we are g>.d >say the best of relings exist-besween bem all.

BURNING THE WIND. A Coast Line Train Makes the Rn from - Columbia to Charleston in Two Hours and Fifty-Six Min utes. [Register, September 1st.I Lately there has been some e ordinary running down on the CeS Line between this city and Charlestond but the t-ip made by Engineer D. D . Justice on Thursday night tops the record so far. On Thursday evening the Coast Line train left Columbia. thirty-one minutes late, caused by. waiting here for the train from Char lotte, and was again delayed at Lane's : ten minutes, making the train forty one minutes behind time when iea-' ing Lane's. The regular schedule this road is very fast, being nearly fifty:r miles per hour, but, notwithstanding the delay of forty-one minutes. Mr Justice made every one of the regularK stops, and carried his train into ,Chat-"' leston on time-an extraordinary feat : for any engineer to do. The distance'? from here to Charleston, 137 nile_ after making eleven stops, was run" in the wonderful time of two hours and fifty-six minutes, the fastest time ever made on the road. The speed at *hicb the train run was sixty miles an hour, and for portions of the road faster even -. than that. .. The engine making this ran was No. 70, of the Rogers make, one of the . "smartest" on the line-sixteen-in: .. cylinder with five and a half -feet j drivers. Conductor Vincent was - charge of the train and Mr. D. J. Ju-' tice engineer. This shows what the> coast line can do. What road is there' in the South that can beat it? Pr'nary Rules for Nominating Solicitor. Persuant to the call of the Executive '.
