On his way back enst he stopped at Kansas City to sec the great Ha mum & Ha I ley show that was then exhibiting; In that city. The then press a Kent of the Ita run 111 & Halley show, Hert Davis, introduced to Mr. Harnuiu the editors of the local dallies at the former's hotel. In the course of the conversation which naturally followed Mr. Hnrnutn said: "Gentlemen, Mr. Hniley tells me that my presence at the performances of the Itarnum & Halley circus is worth $5,000 ft day to the show. If this is true, It is my name that is so valuable. It is known In every town, city and hamlet; It lias become a household word throughout the country. Now, gentlemen, nil of this was done by newspapers, and If advertising can make a name worth $3,000 a day, what is it that advertising can't do?"

"Seldom a .week passes that we do not put up a ^ proscription that is never called for. Why in the world tlie people who thus s neglect their remedies after ordering them compounded will go to the trouble and expense of consulting a doctor is more than I can figure out. If they ' don't want to take the stuff prescribed, they certainly don't have to, but they * might at least have the grace to come and take it home after we have gone 1 to the trouble to prepare it and not I throw it back, a dead loss on our hands.

They arc not numbered, as is generally done, ' but each room is named for a state of 10 the I'nitcd States. "When I stopped at the place. I was j assigned to a room called 'Delaware.' .j. It was correctly named, too, for it was one of the smallest rooms in the house. 10 A man who was occupying 'New j Hampshire' made complaint to the landlord that the man in 'Maine' was drunk and boisterous and was thus keeping liini awake. This seemed strange, when wo recall that Maine is a prohibition state. Two men up in } 'Montana' were keeping up the repu' tation of the wild west by engaging in ( a noisy poker game. A big. fat eaplj talist had 'Now York,' which was the best room iu the house. The room named for Alabama is too ordinary for j anything, and a farmer was occupying v It tlie night I was there. "It was funny to stand in the oflico and hear a belllioy tell the clerk that towels were wanted in 'Iowa' and that the fellow in 'North Dakota' was kick lug like a steer because lie had no tire' 1 'Send two Manhattan cocktails up to Mississippi' was one of the orders that the clerk gave. 'lie sure to call the ? mail in Florida at .r> o'clock in the morning,' said one of the employees. And ' thus it went. This hotel is a curiosity 5 to the traveling public.

The Minister l'iuiilly <iot the Source ' of ill* Text Correct. 1 At a certain revival meeting of col? ored folks in a church in North Carolina the minister announced from the pulpit: "My tex' is l.et do woman l'nrn in silence wid all subjection.' You will done tin' it in de secon' chapter. Moventh varse, oh Clover " At this mention of an unknown castle a good brother plucked the coat tails of the minister. The latter turned round, then again laced the audience. "In spite of de interruption," he said, "I repeat de tex' am from de secon' chapter, Meventh varse, oh Clover." Again the coat tails were plucked, and the minister glared at the plucker, only to turn once more to tlie congregation. "Brudder Johnson," lie said, "objects to do tex' 'Let woman I'nrn in sileiiee.' Wo all know dat Sister Johnson am not a silent woman. But i i done repeats dat de tex* will be fotin' ! in de seeon' chapter, 'leventh varse, ob j Clover." Here Brother Johnson rose ; to the minister's ear and whispered 1 earnestly. "Oh!" said the dominie. | Then to the gaping people: "I asks | Sister Johnson's pardon. Her husban' flays I made a mistake, he Is dat triflin'. My tex' will not be foun' in de seeon' chapter, 'leventh varse, ob Clover, but in do seeon' ebapter, 'leventh varse, ob Timothy.

South Carolina College. In addition to the regular lectures by the professors of law of the South Carolina College, the trustees and faculty are pleased to be nt)le to announce for the coming session a very attractive series of lectures to be contributed by sotne of the leading members of the Bench and Bar of South Carolina. Among those who have consented to deliver one or more lectures to trie law classes of the College are: Hon. Charles H. Slmonton, U. S. Circuit Judge; Hon. William H. Brawley, U. S. District | Judge; Hon. Y. J. Pope, Chief Justice of South Carolina; Hon. C. A. Woods. Associate Justice: Hon. Eugene B. Clary, Associate Justice: Hon. Edward McCrady, Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Hon. (1. Duncan Bellinger, Hon. S. J. Simpson, Hon. J. P. Carey, and Hon. Andrew Crawford. The trustees and faculty feel that in securing the assistance of these distinguished judges and lawyers they have accomplished something that will prove of the greatest benefit to thos taking the law course in the South Carolina College. The number of thos* enrolled in the law department during the last two years has been the largest in the history of the college, and the hope is entertained that the prosper! of these additional lectures may stll further increase the growing numbei of law students. The great "value of the training nf forded by schools of law has been to< thoroughly demonstrated to rendei necessary any arguments In their sup port. The day ctf preparation for th< bar by solitary study in a lawyer') office has practically passed. Kveryom familiar with the working of a lav school must have been impressed wltl the increased Interest and seal that re suit from the mere association of younj t men who have come together for th< common purpose of studying law. Thi daily discussions of questions of law | not only with the professors, but nisi i with each other, beget an enthusiasr for the law which possibly. In soino in stances, could never have been acquire) otherwise. The advantage of attending a profes sional school in the State in which i man Is to practice his profession is i no case more obvious than in that of ; lawyer. Besides the familiarity gainei with the decisions and statute law si the State, the friendships that he form at such a school add very materially t his future usefulness as a citizen. Th career 01 iiiwycvs as a cass is more aj to he of a public nature than that ? those engaged in any other professlo or business. Not only are all of tli pulses of the State drawn from the ba "but the occupants of the legislative an executive olllees are also drawn vcr largely from the same source. As s many of the members of the legal pr( fe?sion are naturally destined to publl careers. It is of no little importam that the young men who have decide to become lawyers should come inl close Xouc))...\wt ,, ' The most lasting friendships are nt infrequently formed during the part c a man's life that is usually devoted t preparation for the bar; and it is uti fortunate if this period should be sper in a State other than that in which h is to live. Several years spent at a pro fession school In another State some times find the student so completely on of touch with the young men of hi own State that when he returns t practice his profession he finds himsel laboring under a serious disadvantage which in some instances is never over come. A law school, however, should b jjatronized not alone by those intendini to practice law. There is hardly a call Ing in life for which one would not b better prepared by having taken i course in law. Almost everyone wh has made an earnest study of the la\ will agree with Hurke that it is i "science which does more to qutckoi and invigorate the understanding thai all other kinds of human learning pu together." The hope is indulged, there fore, that the attendance upon the lav | school of the South Carolina CoMegi ? may include some who have not de l termined to make law their profession Columbia as the capital of the Stab presents many advantages for the lav I student. The sessions of the Suprenv I Court of the State, of the State Circul j Courts, and of the Federal Courts, glv< him frequent opportunity to hear argu i ments by the leading lawyers of th< State, and to witness the practical ad ministration of the principles of th? law. In prosecuting his studies he wli also find that having access to the i.m library of the Supreme Court, as wel as to "the College library, will be of th? greatest value to him. | SPEECHES THAT LIVE. ' Oratorio Triumph* That Klnn<l thl Tent of IteaUliiK. It is often said that if a speech read! > well it is not a good speech. 'J'hert j may l?e some truth in it. The readei cannot, of course, get the iinpressior which the speaker conveys hy look ami tone and gesture. Ho lacks that mar ycIous inllucnee by which in n grcal asscinhly the emotion of every individual soul is multiplied hy the emotion ot every oilier. The reader can pause and dwell upon the thought. If there be a fallacy, he is not hurried away to do something else before lie can detect it. So, also, his more careful and deliberate criticism will discover offenses of style and taste which pass unheeded in a speech when uttered. Hut still the great oratorlc triumphs of literature and history stand the test of reading in the closet as well as of hearing in the assembly. Would not Mark Antony's speech over the (lead body of Cu sar, had It been uttered, have moved the Itoinnn populace as It moves the snec tntor when Ihe play i* acted or the solitary reader in Ids closet? Does not Lord Chatham's "I rejoice that America has resisted" reads well? Do not Sheridan's and Hurko's groat perorations In the impeachment of Warren Hastings read well? Does not "Liberty ami union, now and forever," rend well? Does not "(Jive mo liberty or give mo deatli" rend well? Do not Everett's finest passages read well?- Senator Hoar In Success. i Advice. Tho bout advice tliat can bo given probably l?: Take all tho advice you can got and then do as you please. The successful person, or the one whom the 1 crowd counts successful. Is liclng constantly besieged with applications for advice how to succeed. He is generally incapable of giving it. The same ad. vice, outside of a few maxims generally applicable, Is seldom good for two pci-sona. Advice, as a rule, is cheap and about as valuable as most cheap things. To be constantly following advice without stopping to consider its source is the plain mark of weakness. It Is this trait of weak human nature which makes the business of the patent medicine maker so profitable. The person of power is the one who neither gives nor takes advice In generous quantities. The world would be bettor off if advice were much less plentiful. Then, perhaps, its quality might rise in proportion to Its scarcity.?New Loui don Telegraph.
