Alexander H. Stephens.
Ur.- n T:c-k?t A;t
W E WILL view tlie above famous
Georgian as an orator ond an
author. His chief speeches
made on great occasions have been
published, and his great book, "War
Between the States,” has been exten
sively sold and read. By these criteria
he will be Judged by posterity, and hto
place be assigned In literary history.
The eclat which always attends the
orator blazed in Mr. Stephens* career.
Ho had his days of glory In many fo
rensic victories. In fearless conflicts
with his equals before gazing thous
ands. He had many brilliant contests
In congress where ,he had a very dif
ferent audience.
Mr. Stephens had every endowment
needed In oratory except bodily health.
He had large stores of Information
gathered by the habits of a studious
life. Quick of perception, ready In ut
terance, clear In his logic, he always
'won admiration on any stage where he
spoke. His s?lf-po«.>*e«ilon was very
rare, and without this quality no man
can rise to the dignity of an orator.
Courage, too, Is an essential element
In an eloquent speaker; he must not
dread opposition, and must be unawed
In the presence of a powerful antag
onist.
In an eminent degree Mr. Stephens
showed this high quality. Passion,
earcasm and wit are gifts of an emi
nent speaker. These he used,-and sel
dom abused.
Voice and gesture play a conspicuous
part. In the drams of the orator. • His
voice rang like a sliver bell, and w&
capable of a high pitch, and It did not
fall him In the longest address. It has
been said Mr. Stephens was aided much
by his emaciated form—the sympathy
for the frail body being easily trans
muted Into mental affinity. This 1*
false and shallow, philosophy. This
man waa an orator despite this*, stint
of nature—would have been greater
had she been more lavish In bodily
dowments.
Would Webster have been mightier
In logical combat by being reduced in
bodily proportions? Hie form was the
most commanding. Would Toombs
Breckinridge have been Improved by
having less altitude and less muscle?
Could a weak man In body have ac
complished the wonderful feat
Toombs when he actually spoke a con
gressional mob into silence as if awed
hy the flash of lightning and roar of
thunder? Douglass could not do this
great as he was.
He was called a giant, but always
’the little giant.” 8ee “War Between
the State*.” where you find Mr. Steph
ens’ own estimate of Toombs* achieve-*
rvent.
Oratory needs a solid basis of physi
cal strength for the highest reach,
j Many speaker* make reputation where
j %clce and bodily form make the chief
claim to distinction.
I read Mr. Stephens* great book as
| soon as trtnSfL
The ute Dr. Myers (U*n editor?
j handed me a volume saying: “Here’s
n me thing that will pi* :>•> you.” My
ply was: “I haw 5era tt and read
It.” Said he: "I expect you are the
only man in Georgia who has read it.”
I had seen a copy and set up nearly
all night in reading It.
Mr. Stephens’ title Is misleading. The
book Is not properly a history of the
ar—It is a history of debates on n
great constitutional question. It might
better bo called a "History of the Con
stitution.”
Men will continue the dispute about
the abstract right of secession, al
though such Intellects as Callioun, Bl*d-
.-Mil St-plK-IiH have fXll.lU.sl. 1 tli**
subject. A scholarly untl •secessionist
said to me, after reading Mr. Steph
ens: "He is unanswerable, and imme
diately added, *T cannot agree with
him.”
Very few men are willing to follow
thelf* own logic—-the strongest proof of
an honest and bravo mind.
I made the first secession speech in
Georgia—five days after Lincoln’s elec- ■
tlon. Gen. Tom Cobb followed on the
ime line on same platform.
This vexed question Is settled by the,
best argument of kings—the ultima
ratio regum. All of us agree to this
fact: It Ik no longer to be debuted—the
.ins fixed the conclusion.
The question as to the right of seces
sion la of no more importance than
who wrote the letters of Junius, or El*
kon Basillke.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The Baptist church of Janesville,
Wis., has an annex known gs the
children’s church, the object of which
la to give the parents of young children
an opportunity to attend church.
During the morning service hour tho
children who are too young to enjoy
the regular service have a service of
their own. conducted by the young la
dles in the Sunday school rooms. The
ladies volunteer for the work, and a
different committee takes charge of the
little ones each Sunday. The. babies
are amuted with dolls and playthings,
while the work of Interesting older
children fs conducted along kindergar
ten 'line*. A large number of children
attend, and the children’s church Is
proving popular, many of the little
(ones being unwilling to leave when
I their mothers call for them at tho cloqe
of church.
