Orators in Congress.
We may not have the equals of Pat¬
rick Henry, Samuel Adams, John Rut¬
ledge, Webster, Clay, Calhoun or Pren¬
tiss, but as a whole the congressional
orator of to-day is far superior to that of
the near or distant past. A erbatim re¬
porting has proved a great injury olden to con¬
gressional oratory. In the time
the Senators and Representatives speaking would with
listen to those who were
the attention of assemblages of trained
critics. When verbatim reports of the
debates were made and printed, those
who has carefully prepared himself
would, as he commenced his speech, see
his audience engaged in every other way
than listening to his accents. Some
would be in groups chatting, others
would be reading newspapers or books,
and the rest inditing epistles or directing
public documents to their constituents.
It would be difficult for him to say what
he had intended, were there not another
stimulus by which his tongue and his
patience were, rendered inexhaustible—

ostensible audience they would be read
by attentive constituents at home. It is
to them that speeches in Congress have
been addressed since the introduction of
verbatim reporting. Congressmen who
were noted for their eloquence upon the
home stump have floundered through
written plattitudes at the Capitol, journalist often
prepared for them by some for
a stated compensation. written speech read in the
The first
United States Senate was by Hon. Isaac
Hill, of New Hampshire, a firm supporter
of General Jackson. AVhen about half
through he suddenly lost the thread of
his discourse and stopped, evidently em
barrassed. His wife, who sat in th gal
lery almost directly over him, compre
bended the situation, and said, in a voice
heard all over the Senate chamber: “Mr.
Hill, you’ve turned over two leaves at
once.” He immediately corrected his
mistake and proceeded with his remarks
amid a roar of laughter.

Solvers of !* uperscriptions.
The clerks in the dead letter office
show marvellous skill—an ingenuity that
is sometimes almost inspiration—in de¬

from across the sea. What would the

Ought an immortal mind to tackle such
a superscription? It did, and from the
chaos came the clear designation:

An Extraordinary Murder.
A murder has just been committed at
Fontchristiann, near Brianconn, tele¬
graph our Paris correspondent, under Two
very extraordinary circumstances. and Catherine
sisters, named Marie .
Ollagnier, aged 45 and 47 respectively,
lived together at that place. They were
in comfortable circumstances and were
most attached to each other. Much of I
their time was devoted to religious exer¬
cises and good works, and they were es¬
teemed far and wide. It seems that on
Monday Catherine Ollagnier told her
sister that the Lord had appeared her to her
in the night and had asked to sac¬
rifice her as a proof of her devotion.
Marie Ollagnier saw nothing strange in
this, and consented to be offered up as a
victim. Accordingly, on the following
day, after attending mass, the two sisters
returned to their home, and, after taking
a cup of coffee, Catherine made a deep
gash with a razor in Marie’s arms and
feet.
Catherine Ollagnier relates that, as she
was bleeding in death, her sister re¬
peated, “Jesus, Mary, my hope, my
Saviour!” while for her part she carefully
collected the blood which flowed from
her wounds as a precious relic. As soon
ae Marie had breathed her last Catherine
laid her out, attiring her in a white robe.
She then proceeded to a notary at Bri
anconn with a copy of her sister’s will,
She assured the notary that God had
biddm her to kill Marie, and to burn all
the securities which she possessed, will in and
that she had obeyed his every
particular. Catherine Ollagnier was, of
course, arrested on the spot, and she is
to be examined by a medical expert with
a view to ascertaining whether she is sane.

good pole for the occasion (which has,
however, been selected a long time be¬

lay, the twelve virgins each take an axe,
and give the pole one cut, the young
bucks finishing the job. The crossing
of a stream is superstitiously forbidden,
and when the young Indians are ready
they march in triumph to the place se¬
lected for its “planting.” Before them

The sun dance among these wild peo¬
ple is a barbarous religion with them.
During the year an Indian has prayed to
the Great Spirit for fortune in hunting,
restoration of health or some other wish,
for which he promises, if the prayer is
granted, to make some sacrifice or dance
at the annual sun dance, which was
usually held during the month of June,
It is composed of lasting and feasting
combined, the ones who have made vows
fast ing far several da vs, and those who
are to ,, “see them . through’ feasting , .. on
delicious young dogs made into soup.
Mothers who have asked the Great Spirit
for some favor bring their babes and
young ch.ldren to b„ gouged in the
cars with anything but sharp knives by
the “medicine men” (who are on hand
in great numbers), the girls receiving

shoulders or face cut as they may have
promised at the time. Groups of men
and women dance with upturned faces
to the burning sun, tooting continuously
a whistle made of an antelope’s hone.
All these are preliminary to the most
barbarous and painful task of being
brave. The young men who have fixed
their hearts upon this torture by going
through the ordeal of being cut in the
two breasts and a sinew passed through
the wounds, are tied to a rope attached
to the stationary sun dance polo, which
they endeavor to break out by. continu¬
ous dancing and jerking, Their faces
are lifted to the scorching June sun
while they blow on the antelope bone
whistle. To contribute to their success,
some near friend or relative throws out
sticks to the surrounding crowds, and a
scramble is made to secure them, as each
stick entitles the holder to a pony. In¬
voking the Great Spirit for success is
general by the medicine men, while
groups of dancers with whistles and
bands of nearly naked wiid men, painted
in aU colors, yellow, green, red, blue,
black, white or purple, in whole, in
part or combinations, with the designs
of hands, horse shoe prints, horses, Indi
ans. etc., go through mournful .... singing
to the beats of a dozen great drums,
making tho conglomeration of noises
anything but what a band leader would
term “harmony.” O 11 the occasion to
which this article refers hut one out of
the three succeeded in breaking the flesh
from the breasts—and he proved the
meanest as well as bravest—the others
fainting; and some of the few -whites
present became faiut themselves during
tbe progress of this horrible torture,
At the close of this festival, lasting
about eight days, tlie Indians returned
to their homes to find themselves either
richer or poorer than when they left;but
a large storehouse of rations furnished by
the government supplied their wants to
at least a limited extent. On their re
turn home they found what few crops
they had put in before they left had
e j t j jer . behind the growth of the
weeds or eaten by stray stock. Thus
the progressive Indian failed to progress,
and ana tne the governmenL (rovernmrnt um did a a musi most aeusiuu. sensible

Queer Justice.
I related a story of a Hungarian justice,
doubtless of oriental origin, says the
lion. S. S. Cox in the New York Sun,
describing a conversation in Turkey. In
the interior of that country a Turkish
agent was sent to buy cavalry horses to
recruit for the then probable war with
Bulgaria and Greece. While there the
ngeut desired that the proprietor of the
village with whom he was contracting
should show him a specimen of the Hun
garian mode of proceeding. moments'”
“Wait a few said the pro
prietor, who was also a magistrate,
“and I will see who is in the town
jail.”
Calling his constable he was informed
by that officer that a goose thief had
been apprehended during the night and
was m confinement. lie sent for the
criminal.
“Are there any witnesses, asked the
judge.
“Two,* was the answer; “thc man
who owned the goose and a man who
saw the theft.”
After hearing the evidence the judge,
in his fierce and harsh Hungarian (Fin¬
nish-Tartaric) tongue, called up the cul¬
prit and said: “You have been found
guilty and I fine you ten kreutzers and
ten days’ imprisonment for stealing tlie
goose.”
Thereupon he summoned the owner of
the bird and said: “I fine you ten kreut
zers and ten days’ imprisonment for al¬
lowing your goose to be stolen.”
To the witness he said: “Sirrah, I fine
you ten kreutzers and ten days’ impris¬
onment for not minding your own busi¬
ness.”
Hilma Effondi then remarked that al¬
most an odd a case recently came before
one of the courts of Stamboul. A credi¬
tor came to the judge to have a note
sued. It was for 1500 piasters, and due
three years hence. The judge ordered
the suit, but condemned the creditor to
confinement for three years, “For,” said
his honor, “how do I know where you
will be three ycar3 hence, so as to pay
you over your piasters,unless I hold you!”
Hail IJeen in The Preserves T»o.
A certain widow lady owned a parrot,
and being absent from home one day,
the said parrot got into her jar of pre¬
serves, and ate them all up. The widow
on coming home,discovered the mischief,
and was so indignant at the “Pretty
Poll” that she caught up a kettle of hot
water and threw it upon it. The opera
tion robbed it of its bright plumage, and
left it in a state of nudity.
It went skulking around for several

Berths In Sleeping Curs.
A physician, referring to the custom of
traveling on sleeping ears with the berths
made up with their heads towards the
engine, said: “It is certainly bad for the
brain of the sleeper as it is not natural,
and it is no wonder that so many travel
era, especially those who have been on
the road exclusively, experience bad cf
fects from it. Take infants in baby car¬
riages and no sane woman will think of
trundling the vehicle along so the child
goes head first. They always —except
the young and inexperienced mother
push them along feet first. Physicians
invariably advise such locomotion. It
is the same thing on the cars, and no one
should hesitate about having his berth
made up so as to move along feet first.
It is much better for the brain.”—St,
Paul Globe.
