DAILY 1 ENQUIRER- SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 0, 1886. The Y. M. C. A. Hall Crowded with the Elite of the City. Mr. Henry llonrcn Mnkes n Hennliful I'rMentnlinn Speech -Mr. .1.1.. lioliInHon (lets the llunitKome (lolil Meilnl. 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. Let (he west tako care of her living and bury her dead, but YOUNG MEN, CLEAVE TO GEORGIA. Her soil contains tho bones of your ances tors and the blood of two revolutions. It was here your eyes first saw the light, mid here their lids should close in death. If my voice could reach all the young men, from the mountains to the sea, I would ask them to join me in this wbieless toast: Let the north have her factories, her mills and her money; let the east keep her mountain scenery, li. r marts and her rivers to charm the traveler’s eye; and let the west luxu riate in her harvest fields of plenty mid her quiet homes of rest, but as for me in Georgia—in Dixie - Dixie’s 1 ‘ ri! w And 1 si. nd die in I) 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. member of his family with typhoid fever during the-belt weather ol last summer, very nappy and beneficial results were produced in the sick room by the introdue tlon of tubs filled with ice. In this way the temperature was kept from 13° to 15° lower than other parts of the lions >, and materially contributed to the patient’s re covery. The average consumption was loss than 1000 pounds a day. Tlie faded Ink on old documents, papers, parchments, etc., may be so restored as to render the writing perfectly legible. The process consists in moistening the paper with water, and then passing over the lines u brusli which has been wet in a so lution of sulphide of ammonia. Tlie writing will immediately appear quite dark in color, and this color in the ease of parchment, will lie preserved. On paper, however, the color gradually fades again, but may bo restored at pleasure by the ap plication of the sulphide. Keep 111 1 mouth closed and breathe through the nose, especially in cold weath er. There are two good reasons for this. Air drawn through the nasal passages Is slightly warmed on its way; if breathed more directly through the mouth it ranches tho lungs too cold. It is also said, and It looks reasonable, that the line, hairs lining the nostrils keep out dust und disease germs which would find five passage to the throat and lungs if one breathed through the mouth. Children should be taught cor rect habits of breathing from the begin ning. STORIES OF “STONEWALL." t Man IV ho N'e IT IV Nil'll . to Travel i l Sunil :l)'.

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.

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.
