DAILY 1 ENQUIRER- SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 0, 1886.

Elite of the City.

Speech -Mr. .1.1.. lioliInHon (lets the llunitKome

The audience chamber of the Young
Men’s Christian Association lio.ll was filled
with a cultured and fashionable audience
last night, the occasion being the presenta
tion of a handsome gold medal to the suc
cessful competitor for improvement in
writing in the special writing class of
Professor Hough’s business school. Mr.
Henry Howren, of the editorial stall' of the
Enquirer-Sun, had been selected as orator
of the occasion. He was introduced by
Professor Hough. Mr. Howren is a bril
liant speaker, whose every utterance is a
gem of thought, sparkling with originality,
wit and beautiful sentiment. He com
pletely captivated his audience from the
beginning. We have never seen an
audience on an occasion of this kind who
were better pleased with the speaker.
The medal was awarded to Mr. J. L,
Robinson. The committee in their report
complimented Mr. John Salisbury very
highly. The reporter regrets that he was
unable to give the speech in full, but n
large portion of it is given below, and will
no doubt be read with much pleasure by
our readers. Mr. Howren said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a source of
real regret to me that bodily weariness
and mental lassitude, resulting from close
confinement to my labors for many con
secutive weeks, subtracts so much from the
otherwise small power with which I might
have addressed you to-night. But I will
gather up my strength and resources and
endeavor to do the best that I
can. I am not a public speaker
and can scarcely remember when I faced
an audience before. I have had scarcely
an hour from my daily labors in which to
formulate this address in my mind. Please
remember this, ladies and gentlemen,
when you come to make up your criti
cisms. But, after all, I don’t caro for the
critics.
A CRITIC IS ONLY A DYSPEPTIC
gone to seed, and when one has torn me
into 10,000 pieces I am consoled by the re
flection that the victim is cleaner than the
vulture that rends him.
I am a plain and busy man, with no tal
ent for wooing the muse and' no time for
culling the roses of rhetoric. And if I
were to happen to say anything bright
to-night it would be the brightness
of the heart and not of the head.
Philosophy and poetry are antithetic in
everything else, but they are agreed upon
this, that “it is better to have loved and
lost than never to have loved at all.” And
iflmakea disastrous failure in this effort
to-night, I will go home cheered by the
sweet consolation that it is better to have
tried and failed than never to have tried at
all.
A few years ago a transatlantic steamer,
one of those huge flying eities of the deep,
set out on her voyage across the trackless
and treacherous ocean. Her cabins were
honey-combed with passengers, and her
flecks teemed with busy life. All were hap
py and buoyant and thoughtless. But one
day a portentous cloud crawled out of the
sea and up the horizon like a beast of pre.v
from its lair. The cloud grew wider and
darker and more overshadowing, until the
lightning danced, like a red-legged demon,
on its black and muttering bosom. The
wind spun its breath into invisible whip
cords, and lashed the ocean until it rose up
like an angry army, and every sea-mount
ain was a rampart, and every billow was a
bayonet, and every foam-flake a flag. The
ship reeled like a drunken man in his
walk, and the waves in their fury seemed
to bite at the stars. A prayer meeting was
organized in every cabin, and the throne
of grace was besieged by people
who hadn’t been there lately, but who
“got there all the same.” There was a
perfect riot of petitions, and the swarthier
the sinner, the louder he prayed.
THE GRISLy CAPTAIN
who had a corner on strange oaths, got
down on his knees with the rest. At. last
the captain staggered up the stairs to
look at the storm, and standing by the
pilot house he saw a passenger from
Texas. He was six-foot-six, gaunt and
calm. He was one ofi those men you
might catch asleep in two or three fence
corners. He wore a coon skin cap, the
tail of the coon hung down his back, and
the wind whipped it about his shoulders.
The captain approached the Texan and
said: “My friend, the ship is fast going
to pieces; in a few short hours
we’ll be dead and in eternity; why don’t
you pray? Why don’t you pray? and make
your peace with God?” The Texan turned
on him slowly and, with a nasal twang to
his voice, he said: “Cap’ll, I don’t know
but one little prayer, and hit
WOULDN’T BE WUTH A CUSS
in a storm like this.” Ladies and gentle
men, I don’t know but one little speech,
and it wouldn’t be. worth a cent in a crowd
like this. And I am not going to make it.
I find myself considerably embarrassed
this evening at the prospect of having to
address so many ladies. 1
NEVER ADDRESSED BUT ONE LADY
in my life, and then I got scared
and forgot my little speech,
and I made such a miserable failure that it
has discouraged all further attempts. Ami
yet this speech would be incomplete if I
did not say something to these ladies. Ah !
what would we be without woman ? 1
tremble when I think of it. What would
we be without woman ? We would be—
we would be scarce, very, very scarce.
[Laughter.] Woman, God bless her, is
ever ready |to succor those in distress. I
have been told confidentially, (excuse these
blushes), I have been told confidentially
that I was assisted by a lady in making
my first toilet [laughter] while jny fat her
was waiting to be introduced to nie—^an
introduction which has resulted in a life
long friendship. I have been acquaint
ed with ladies from my ear
liest recollection, and I have
been one of their most constant devotees.
When I was eight years old, as I trudged
to school, I carried the books for a young
lady of six. When I was twelve years old,
I squandered every available nickel I
could raise in bu.ving sweetmeats and can
dies for a young ludy of ten. Since I have
been eighteen years old, I have^surren
dered my last *3 to a livery man in order
that I might take a young
lady to ride who married and
ran away with a handsomer man
than me. [Laughter. ] I have done all
this for the sweet sake of the fair sex; and
still I can put my hand oil my heart to
night and say that
NO LADY HAS EVER ACTED THE GENTLE
MAN
towards me vet. [Laughter.] Oh! what
tender and thrilling recollections the one
word, woman, arouses. I remember when
I was two years old that I spoke my first
word plainly, and my mother patted me
on the head and said : “My son. you are
gathering the dots.” I remember that
when I was ten years old that same
mother overheard me one day using some
“cuss words;” and she told me again
that ^ was “gathering the dots,” and she
patted me again. But, ladies and gentle
men, it was not on the head. [Laughter.]
But In all seriousness and candor,
WHO DOES NOT LOVE A WOMAN?
Her name is a precious ointment and her
presence is an ever-fresh delight. Back,
back, back, over the arid sands of the un
returning past I can see the dim, misty
land of my childhood, and its memories
come fluttering buck to*my heart to-night
LIKE WOUNDED BIRDLINGS
to a long-forsaken nest. Looking bnck
into the lieajitilul years that are gone. I
can see a territory enclosed by the
rim of a cradle—a territory in which
I reigned a tiny monarch—a territory over
which my mother's face was the sun by
day and the moon by night—a territory
whose soil was refreshed with the rain oi
her tears. As on my arrival into this
troublous world I was greeted with a
mother’s kisn, so when I am called to go
hence, and my mortal vision is closing on
all sublunary scenes, God grant that the
hand of a wife or a mother may rest in
mine while my heart is boating its last
stroke to the music of time, and that her
prayers may fall like oil on the troubled
waters of the Jordan of death while I’m
passing through to the other side.
[Cheers.]
But I must hasten to the business of the
evening. It iH my duty and delight this
evening to be the agent of the authorities
of this school in delivering n gold medal to
the young gentleman who luus made the
most rapid progress in penmanship during
the term just closed. 1 am going to open
the envelope now, and 1 hope the young
gentleman whose name it incloses will
come forward and stand in front of me a
moment and aid and abet me while 1 get
even with my enemies in this audience la
boring them some more. The medalist is
Mr. J. L. Robinson. [Mr. Robinson came
forward and the speaker continued:]
ilr. Robinson, you have done something
to-night that I never did—to win n medal.
I wish I knew how it makes a man feel to
win a medal. But I do not. But 1 sup
pose the felling is close akin to the feeling
a man has when he wins a jackpot . And
I congratulate yon on how happy you feel
to-night. [Laughter]. No l liaee never
taken a medal nor a premium of any kind.
X did go to a county fair in Florida once, |
and 1 took the first, prize, but a policeman !
made me put it down again. [Laughter], j
But while you have taken a medal as a I
penman, and I have not, I want you to re
member that, in the mere mechanical art
of penmanship l have achieved
feats which you in your ro
siest dreams can never hope to
equal or even approach. There is a story
ot the olden time that an artist once
painted a picture, which, from whatever
point it was viewed, appeared to be of a
different color. He sot it up where three
roads forked, and three knights approached
it from three different directions simultane
ously. Halting, the first said that it was
red, the >econd that it was black and the
third Un.t it was blue. The dispute waxed
worm, and they drew their lances to de
cide it in a contest, when the artist
came out of his concealment and
explained his wondrous work of art. But
that artist was a weak brother and a one-
horse man compared to me. Last night in
the composing room of the Enquireb-
Sun I saw a coroner’s jury of twelve print
ers gathered around the mutilated carcass
of one word that I had written, and every
man swore by 1 lie gods of his household
that it was a different word. [Laughter,]
So you see, sir, that if I haven’t taken the
medal I have taken the cake, the barrel of
flour and the entire bakery, besides draw
ing heavily on our next year’s wheat crop.
This medal, sir, is a high honor to you
as it would be to any man who had won it
as fairly as you have in so hotly contested
a battle. It is a shining proof that your
eye is clear and your nerve is steady, and
your arm Is strong. It is a proof that you
are possessed of energy, application and
determined will power. It is a proof that
when you set your heart on a victory, you
fight your way to iton the principle of war
to the knife, and knife to the handle. And
then your name will become
IN AN ACADEMIC SENSE HISTORIC.
You are the pioneer medalist of this
school. Whoever is second, you must al
ways be first. This is the greatest honor
of all. For you are, in my opinion, the
pioneer medalist of a school that from this
day is linked with a Siamese-Twin liga
ment to the history of Columbus as a city.
This school will in time become a mother
whose parturitions will.produce the future
book-keepers and bankers and business
men of Georgia. And 1 can give a reasan
for the faith that is in me. Ladies and
gentlemen, I have never had a reputation
for gushing. And I am measuring my
words to-night that I need not modify
their meaning. But I do say this without
scruple or hyperbole. I have known
Prot. Hough, the principal of this school,
FOR TWELVE YEARS.
I have seen him tried in every relation of
life. And not by myself alone, but in
common with all his life-long neighbors, I
■ regard him as one of the ablest and ripest
scholars, and as the most honest and the
! best balanced man I have ever known,
j [Cheers]. With him at the helm there is
I nothing left to this school but to prosper.
! If this enterprise should fail under him,
then no other business school need ever
I spread its tent on Georgia sod. Its air will
i be to them a death-exhaling upas.
| Now, I want to say something to the
I students who did not get the medal. To
j begin with, gentlemen, you
ARE IN A DECIDED MAJORITY,
! and they say majorities are always right.
! [Laughter.] You can outvote the man
i that got the medal, and 1 advise him to
i make terms with you at once. You who
1 were defeated, I know liow you feel. I
have been there so often that it “made me
tired.” (Laughter.] Defeat! Oh. defeat!
; 1 have walked amid its ashbeds and shad-
, ow:i, and I have quaffed its hitter fountain
lofMarah. But defeat is often victory in
; disguise. Wo can make our failures step-
i ping stones upon which to climb to higher
| things. Some of the noblest and grandest
! and most godlike resolutions ever born in
, the heart of man, are brought forth amid
j tlie plutonian gl.jom of defeat. I have set
my heart oil a cherished object, and I
have struggled and striven an
ALMOST SWEATED BLOOD
to obtain it, and then when I reached out
my hand to grasp it, it would waft away
j forever like the fruit from hungry Tanta
lus. But while I sat down in mv sorrow t
learned the sweet, sweet lesson that a
man can see further through a tear than a
i telescope, and that I could catch brighter
views of my promised land on my knees
i than I could on my tip-toes. [Cheers, j
: Gentlemen, don’t you know that when
God told Joshua and his army to capture
Jericho, He told him to march around the
I walls to the music of his martial ram’s
; horns until the mighty walls should
j collapse and deliver the city into his
hands? Joshua marched around one time
| and failed. He marched around again to
the wild thrumming music of his rams’
! horns, and failed. The third and fourth
and fifth and sixth times, he marched
around and failed. But on the seventh
march, amid the terrible blast of thunder
ing music and the sullen tramp of swarm
ing legions, the God who led captivity
1 captive and who holds the keys of hell
| and of death, the God who fixed the north
star in its socket and made it the
MILE POST OK THE IIF.VKN8,
while storms of blazing stars bowl by it
night and day on their race through
eternity, that God blew His breath on
the stone bulwarks of Jericho, and they
crumbled, and scattered, and fell, and
flew like aslies in the face of the storm.
! And after six failures Joshua was crow ned
with the greatest victory of his age.
Gentlemen, you who were defeated to-
' night, don't sulk in your tents, but say
among yourselves , “Every man to his
ram’s horn and let us march around tha
walls once more - ” [Cheers.]
! One word to all the young men in this
hall, and then my task is done. Gentle
men,you are the seed, bud and hope of the
new south—the fairest land on all this
busy earth to-day. It rests with you as to
whether this new south shnll be a success
or a failure. It rests with you as to
whether it shall he another mid better
Eden, or whether it shall be tho blackened
sepulchre of the grandest country ever
bequeathed to the race of Adam. The
troubles of the south are over I trust.
Tho Red sea and the wilderness are behind
her, and with worn sandals and dusty robe,
she stands upon the summit of her politi
cal Pisgah, gazing over into the Canaan of
promise flowing with its rivers of milk and
honey, and purpling with ils clusters of
grapes. And now in this evening light of
tho century, while other sections and other
countries arc joining hands, with music
playing andjgonfnlons flying ns they march
up the golden aisles of the future from
conquests on to victory, shall tho south lag
behind the grand cavalcade of states that
is marching on (o the political and Indus-
trial Canaan.
1 TELL YOU NO,
my country men, no. For the south is
raising up n generation of young man that
are “fair as the moon, dear as the sun and
terrible as an army with banners.” This
land is ours. Let us keep it and transmit it
to our children. Horace Greely—peace to
his ashes; and it's a pity he hadn't turned
to ashes when lie was a baby. [Laughter.]
Horace Greeley never said a meaner t hing
than when he said, “Go west, young man."
Horace Greeley’s advice literally followed,
led the union to the de\ 11, and it bus tolled
many a young mini in t he same direction.

A SOCIAL GATHERING.
Correspondence Ennu! rov-Siiu.
Fortbon, Gn., October 8.—On yesterday
your correspondent and family spent a
most delightful dnv with the family of
judge Riggers. We chanced to meet with
Mr. Frank Margart and wile, of Barbour
county, Ala., who are now the guests of
Mr. B. H. Luggers. Mrs. Dr. Brewster and
Mr. B. FI. Biggcrs mid wife also happened
to be there, and the day was passed oil'
pleasantly and profitably by discussing tlie
various subjects of farming and domestic
interests, such as tlie apiary, the dairy and
the raising of obedient and dutiful chil
dren and the timely assistance that a good
husband can always render to his faithful
wife in the netty worries of household
affairs. Oh, to be delivered from the little
worries of life. “Constant vigilance is
the price of liberty,” and without this
constant vigilance these little worries, like
the moth in thejbee hive, will creep in un
awares ana mar the happiness and cut
short the life of a whole family. I believe
that, “tho secret of happiness’’ is to make
the best of everything. No matter what
happens to annoy, let it all glide along as
easily and with ns few words of complaint
and fault-finding as possible. Little in
conveniences will intrude upon the most
fortunate of people; so the only way to be
master of every situation is to make up
your mind not to notice small annoy
ances.
Wo came to the conclusion that a man
ought to praise his wife now and then and
give her the credit for being the indus
trious and noble woman that she is. We
decided furthermore, iu court assembled,
that a man is not worthy to be called a
man who does not give substantial aid to
his wife in the dispatch of her household
duties. The ladies of tho party being all
married women were very much pleased
with that decision, and one or two of them
winked at their habitually absent-minded
husbands to take note.
In regard to raising good children it is
surprising to see what a difference of opin
ion exists as to the best means for accom
plishing this much to be desired end. All
are agreed that good children are a great
blessing, but whether to make them good
by harsh means exclusively or by gentle
me ins altogether, or by botli combined,
that is the question. While we shudder at
the severity of our Pilgrim fathers, the
great danger now is that the pendulum
will swing too far the other way. Al
though our fathers may not have been as
wise as some of their children claim to be,
they were very far from being fools. They
appreciated the fact that the chances for
success in after life of an obedient and
dutiful child were four to one against the
child who had been allowed to have his
own way, and who hud formed no habits
of self-denial and industry.
RESIGNATIONS IN ORDER.

very nappy and beneficial results were
produced in the sick room by the introdue

the temperature was kept from 13° to 15°

Air drawn through the nasal passages Is

looks reasonable, that the line, hairs lining

iu the winter of’bl-’62, while Juckdou’s
forces were at Winchester, he sent a
brigade to destroy the canal leading to
Washington. The expedition proved a
failure, and he attributed it in some meas
ure to the fact that Sunday had been need
lessly trespassed upon. So when a second
expedition was planned he determined
there should he no Sabbath breaking con
nected with it that he could prevent. The
advance was to he made early on Monday
morning. On Saturday he ordered my
husband (Colonel Preston, at that time
on his staff,) to see that the neces
sary powderwas in readiness. The quar
termaster could not find a sufficient quan
tity in Winchester on Saturday, but during
Sunday it was procured. On Sunday eve- j UV’Tj^ol^j
ning the fact in some way got to Jackson’s i j} r ,,„ sw j c j {
ears. At a very early hour on Monday he p or t Royal!!!.
dispatched an officer to Shepherdstown I’eiiHocbla
for other powder, which was brought. Indinnolu
Then summoning Colonel Preston, he said
very decisively: i ° u

Harrisonburg, Va., October 8.—The
sureties of Samuel R. Sterling, tho de
faulting treasurer of this county, compro
mised with the board of supervisors to-day
by the payment of $8000. A suit has been
instituted against them for about .$25,000
by the county. Sterling is very ill. It is
thought that he will not live to he brought
to trial.
Washington, October (i.—Among the
officials directly affected by the president’s
conclusion that a candidate for an electo
ral office should relinquish his federal
office are A. K. Delaney, United States at
torney for the eastern district of Wiscon
sin, and P. H. Kumler, United States at
torney for tlie southern district of Ohio.
Mr. Delaney was appointed to his present
office by President Cleveland mainly
through the efforts of Gen. Bragg, and has
now been nominated to succeed that gen
tleman in congress. Mr. Kumler is a
republican, and was appointed un
der a previous administration. He
lias been nominated for judge
of the court of common picas of Hamilton
county. After he accepted the nomina
tion, he wrote to the attorney general in
forming him of his action, and said that if
his retention of the district attorneyship
pending the result of the state election
conflicted in any way with the president’s
policy of civil-service reform, he would
resign his present office. As already stated,
the cabinet considered the question at yes-
( terday’s meeting, and decided as a gem nil
j principle that an official desiring to enter
a political campaign had better give up his
federal office. It is therefore thought
likely that changes will shortly he made
in both of the offices mentioned.

It is only necessary to mix rice flour inti

forms a delicate and durable cement.
High medical authorities record the suc
cessful treatment of carbunculous diseases
by the injection of the officinal solution of

One Joker Who Got Knough.
John Robbins, a barber of Lafayette,
Ind., found the bartender asleep in a sa
loon that he frequented, and thought it
would he a good joke to take the cash
drawer and hide it, and thus scare him.
But the sleeper happened to wake just as
John had the drawer in his hands, and,not
seeing any joke, had him arrested, and
the jury that tried him was also deficient
in humor and convicted him, and he was
sentenced to one year in prison. His
friends are trying to get a pardon, as it is
pretty clear that he really had no idea of
stealing the money.- Indianapolis Journal.
