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. J. W. HINTON, D .D.

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.
