FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1SS0. .
—Among tile paid bills and other docu
ments received by a St. Louis man from
his fifteen-year-old daughter, who was
away at school, was a marriage certificate.
That was his first news of her nuptials.
—Miss Beatrice Ord, the eldest daugh
ter of Gen. Ord, is said to be engaged to
marry Gen. Travino, of the Mexican army.
The ceremony will take place at Galves
ton, shortly.
—A Leicestershire (England) farmer
Writes to the Mark Lane Express: ‘‘Hun
dreds of fanners have lost the whole of
their flocks of sheep. It has been one of
the most disastrous seasons (for sheep)
ever experienced.”
—Three blind girls went out for a walk,
in St. Louis. They were familiar with
the street, and made their way with ready
confidence; but they knew nothing of a
deep excavation lately made, and so
walked into it. One was killed, and the
others badly hurt.
—A ferocious bulldog broke his chain at
■Wheeling, Va., and attacked a very old
woman. She made all the defense she
could, but he threw her down, bit her
with savage fury, and finally killed her.
Her son, maddened by the sight, chopped
the brute to pieces.
—With William Black, the novelist, the
writing of stories is a business. He is
shrewd, practical and quick. He has a
second wife. At Brighton he has a beau
tiful house, which overlooks the ocean.
He makes about $25,000 a year from his
writings. He does not depend upon a
publisher for a percentage; he gives one
to a publisher.
—The encharistic candles lighted on
the altar of Bishop Seymour’s cathedral in
Springfield, Ill., last Sunday, threaten to
kindle a small conflagration in the Epis
copal church of the West. Bishop Rob
ertson, ol St. Louis, can find no sufficient
Warrant for the alleged innovation, and
has no hesitancy in saying so. ’
Kentucky Repudiates Tilden.
From Kentucky private intelligence is to
the effect that a very strong spirit of re
sentment has sprung up among prominent
Democrats against what is alleged to be
the evident hope of the Tilden-Watterson
Wing to bulldoze the Democracy of Ken
tucky into sending a Tilden delegation to
Cincinnati. As a result of this it is said
Kentucky will send a strong anti-Tilden
delegation.
—It is announced that Prof. Taylor, of
the agricultural department, has discov
ered that cotton seed treated with sulphu
ric acid will come up five or six days ear
lier than in its natural state. If the same
treatment will obtain the same results on
a larger scale the discovery will be one of
great importance to Southern planters, as
it will give them a start of nearly a week
in raising their crop, and thus enable
them in many cases to avoid the frosts.
It is believed that the germination of
other seeds can be quickened by similar
means.
Will Render an Account op ms
Stewardship to the People.—It is an
nounced that General Gordon will address
the people of Rome on Tuesday, June
1st, and by invitation will speak also at
other points in the State, which will be
duly advertised. His constituents will be
pleased to bear from the man with whom
many of them often marched to the can
non’s mouth, and afterwards delighted to
honor. Moreover they will believe every
statement that he makes based upon his
own personal knowledge. The name of
Gordon is but for a synonym for chivalry
and honor.
—The Boston Transcript says the con
tingency upon which alone Gen. Grant
can be induced to deny himself the retire
ment and rest which he so longs for ap
pears to be the event of his getting less
than a majority of the 750 vetes of the
national convention. The overwhelming,
resistless call to the post of duty again,
which alone would suffice to change his
determination to withdraw from public
life, would evidently be composed of just
370 votes, counting the votes of the gagged
States—if the gags hold—and all as part
of the people’s cry to him to be saved.
—It is a curious fact not generally
known that at a certain point on the Up
per Columbia, close to the water’s edge,
the fine sand is continuallly traveling up
stream in one eternal processsion. Talk
of the great army of Xerxes on the march
—what was that to the myriad battalions
that pace the marge of the mighty river?
In comparison with these tiny travelers
what are the “leaves of the forest when
summer is green ?” This sand is being
continually washed ashore, and as the
water falls away with the dearth of the
season, it dries, is taken dp by the winds,
carried back up stream, is blown into the
water and makes another voyage; and so
the work of transportation back and forth,
by laud and by sea; goes on forever and
ever.
lost Power and Motion.
In the mechanical world waste power
and lost motion arc the belenoir of en
ginery; but in the world of oratory and
elocution the idea seems to be reversed.
Go into a courtroom where an advocate
is addressing a judge and twelve jurymen
* in a. petty larceny case, or even a judge
alone upon some motion, and he is
screaming loud enough to be heard half a
mile. The advocate exhausts his strength
and his voice in a shoit time
in making so much noise that
few can hear him—f. e., to wnder-
sland him. It is not often given to a
man to hollo distinctly. It is a great art,
to be attained by long practice, which not
one in five thousand devotes to it. The
consequence is that hearers must listen
with a painful intentness or lose all the
ideas expressed; but as the speaker goes
on with increasing hoarseness and huski
ness the best efforts to hear are generally
unavailing. The speech is killed by the
noise of It.
Go into a church, and you often meet
with the same difficulty. Our church au
diences generally run from forty to six
hundred—are seldom larger—but the
preacher expends the same amount of vocal
Yolnme on them, that he would on an outr
door discourse to a congregation of ten
thonsand—that is to say, he expends his
entire capital, whether speaking to twenty
or twenty thousand—whether discoursing
in a 20x30 cliapql or in a great cathedral.
All the time he is preaching and feels
the increasing soreness of his vocal organs,
ha is thinking to himself, “I wish it was
n jt the fashion to hollo so in the pulpit;
but if I don’t scream the people will never
think I am in earnest. They will not con
sider me as preaching.'" And all the time
he is preaching the hearers are saying to
themselves, “I wish these preachers would
not consider it necessary to scream so loud.
If they would only discourse in moderate
tones, it would be so pleasant. Then I
could hear and understand them. But
now I lose every sentence which he thinks
to emphasize by a scream, and while I am
puzzling myself to think wbat he said, he
has gone on, and the track is lost.”
As the sermon progresses to the perora
tion, it becomes more husky and indis
tinct. The preacher is blown—his voice
is gone. Only when he closes the Bible
and begins those remarks in the way of
application, in a tone which all involun
tarily adopt when speaking earnestly on a
consciously impressive subject—that is to-
say, in an undertone—does the relief be
come general and the attention very
marked.
Here are lost power and motion enough
to preach ten sermons in a more effective
manner. Foi though an effective elocution
must have variety of voice and action, it
does not require that there must be ten
times as much voice as is comfortable to
preacher and hearer, and it is universally
true that pathos and solemnity find their
natural expression in a low tone.
It is a pity there should be so much
waste and misapplied force in our public
oratory. Needless noise must necessarily
play a very subordinate part in true
oratory, if it has any part in it at all. A
singer knows the evil effect of “straining
the voice.” It was said that an audience
would melt into tears on hearing the
elder Booth repeat the Lord’s Prayer.
He never spoke a word of it outside of a
solemn undertone. *
The most effective preacher we ever
heard was the quietest. An ungainly,
awkward, pale-faced, angular man, who
gave little evidence of the emotion that
burned within save the intensity of his
glaring .eyeballs, and whose gestures were
made chiefly with his forefinger. But the
tick of the chapel clock under the galleries
was heard in every pause of his measured
rhetoric, and his audiences always, for the
time, belonged to him. His force was not
so much in manner, as in matter.
Another old man, we shall remember,
who, after struggling for a life-time
against a conviction of personal duty to
preach, and being foiled by Providence in
every other pursuit—by fires and other
providential calamities—entered most un
willingly the pulpit at fifty-five, and won
all hearts by his sweet and loving elo
quence. His hearers were children in his
hands in spite of themselves, and yet he
never screamed.
One cannot say in what true, practical,
effective eloquence consists; but it cer
tainly does not consist in noise. That
never did anything better than make a
headache, and we say with regret it spoils
the discourse of many an able preacher,
while it wrecks their voices.
—A'Norwich botanist was surprised the
other morning by the appearance in his
Case of plants of a fungus or mushroom
growth which reared its head above the
soil and grew with such rapidity that in
twenty-four hours it had reached its full
development and wilted. It was five
inches in height and one-fourth of an inch
in diameter. This led him to a mathe
matical calculation of the rapidity of its
growth, and he found that it had devel
oped in one day 1,000,000 cells, growing
at the rate of 116 cells per second. Prof.
Asa Gray, writing upon the rapidity of
cell formation, cites an instance inhere a
century plant increased six inches in di
ameter and one foot in height in twenty-
four hours, to do which 2,000,000,000 cells
hail to be formed, which required their
formation at the marvellous rate of 231,-
481 per second.
A Boom for Congressman Morris
on.—Congressmen and other eminent
citizens of tho States of Illinois, Missis
sippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Vir
ginia and Kentucky met in Washington
Tuesday last, for the purpose of consult
ing as to the fitness and availability of the
various candidates mentioned for the
Democratic nomination for the presi
dency. After a very free interchange of
opinion an informal vote was taken, and
the unanimous choice was found to be
Hon. William R. Morrison, of Illinois.
Among those present were Proctor Hnott,
of Kentucky; Blackburn, of the same
State; Reagan, of Texas ; Eppa Hunton,
of Virginia ; Gen. Chalmers, of Missis
sippi ; Atkins, of Tennessee, chairman of
the House appropriations committee, and
many other men of national prominence,
iucl tiding most of the Missouri delegation.
Alfred the Great. By Thomas
Hughes, the well-known author of
“Tom Brown’s School Days,” “Tom
Brown at Oxford,” “The Manliness of
Christ,” etc. No. 20 Standard Series
edition, manilla cover. Price 20 cents.
As the author says, “Of all that early
history, the life and times of Alfred are,
beyond all question, the most absorbing
in interest.” This book is as entertain
ing as a novel, both in contents and style.
The world has very few writers who have
Mr. Hughes’ ability in gaining and hold
ing the attention of readers. “Alfred the
Great” is well fitted to wir, over to better
books the lovers of mere sensational lit
erature.
History of England, by Charles
Knight. Vol. VII. Card Manilla
Cover. Price 30 cents.
This great work is approaching comple
tion, but one more volume remaining to
be issued. English statesmen and critics
speak in high terms of it, and eminent
students in our own country pronounce it
unequalled. As one reads it, he agrees
more and more with the opinion of Lord
Brougham, who said of it that “nothing
has ever appeared superior, if anything
has been published equal, to the account
of tho state of commerce, government and
society at different periods.”

—Letters received from the Cape state
that the Empress Eugenie, during her
stay at Durban, was to occupy the same
room in Government House, to ride in the
same carriage, and eat from the same ta
ble as Prince Louis Napoleon did. Trav
eling in Cape carts, she was timed to
reach Ityotyozzi, where the Prince was
killed, on the anniversary of his death.
Round the spot where the two troopers
who fell at the same time as the Prince
are buried, a ditch lias been dug and a
wall raised, so as to form a small ceme
tery, in wliick trees and violets have been
planted. Gebooda, the leader of the Zulus
who attacked the Prince and his party,
has given a solemn promise in presence of
Major Stabb, that the graves should never
be desecrated.

A STRANGE BIRD.
Some of the Peculiarities of the Cali
fornia Chajpparal Cock.
An interesting story respecting the hab
its, under peculiar circumstances, of the
chapparal cock {Geococcyx Californian-
«*), commonly known as the “road run
ner,” is related by a California lady, who
takes pleasure in reproducing any inter
esting matter regarding the natural beau
ties of her native State:
It appears that a family named Davies
being engaged in olive 'culture, occupied
tlie “Old Mission” at San Diego, around
which is a dense growth of cactus, passing
through which, one day, Mr. Davies heard
a strange noise resembling tlie sound
made by a pair of pigeons billing and
cooing, winding up with a succession of
short, quick, jerky notes, thus—per-roct!
per-root! per-root! The listener searched
until he discovered the cause of his sur
prise, which was a nest of four young
birds of the species Geococcyx Califomi-
anus. He took them home, and succeeded
easily in raising them in a coop, like
chickens, the old ones feeding them.
Their beautiful plumage Jsoon at
tracted the attention of a number of visi
tors to the Old Mission, and notes of the
captives have already been given in the
San Francisco papers. The birds were
finally released, but they regularly return
ed at night to the coop and lingered
around, becoming satisfied habitues of the
barnyard. Two of them died. The re
maining two fought until one vanquished
the other, which for a while repaired to
the cactus, but returned with the nest
making season.
In the meantime, the sole remaining
bird had become so selfish in its attach
ment to Miss Davies that it became a nui
sance to the household. It would allow
no living tiling near her, showing its jeal
ousy by darting fiercely attbe object of its
hatred, pecking it furiously with its sharp
bill, whether cat, dog or child, oftentimes
drawing blood, after which it would retire
satisfied. For its own dainty consumption
it would bring in beetles, bugs,
spiders, and when anything larger was
captured—for instance, a lizard or small
snake—it would fly to its mistress, strut
around her until noticed and .petted for its
enterprise, during which it cooed like a
parrot whose feathers are being rubbed
down. With the returned mate it began
a nest on a small table by the window in
the young lady’s room. The nest, a most
uncomfortable affair, about the depth of a
soup-plate—was made of large, rough
sticks, some of them about ten
inches long, which they brought
and laid on the outside of the
window-sill, if the window’ remained
closed, for the occupant of the room to
add to the nest was soon completed, tlie
inner lining being dry grass and straw.
But one- egg was laid in this rude nest
in its present location, inasmuch as the
male one day decided the fate of “house
hold and home,” by bringing to bis mate
a large gopher snake, which twirled
itself around his beak more than
half alive, whereupon, with a pe
culiar nervous sensation, the lady
immediately removed their lodging to
the “cold ground,” among the cactus,
where the birds hatched a promising
brood, and again brought them to the
house for food like chickens. The young
birds are much like young turkeys, and at
full size are about as large as half-grown
turkey hens. The “road runner” partic
ularly mentioned never forgot its attach
ment for Miss Davies, and would follow
her everywhere after its chicks had grown;
they only parted when the family left the
country, leaving the birds behind, which
they now regret.
That Wise and Funny Baby.
I met Jo on the train from Chicago to
St. Louis. He entered the car in his
father’s arms, for he was hardly two
years old. Tlie momin" was cool, so he
had on a furry kind of cloak, and a furry
kind of cap with tippets tied down over
liis ears, so he wouldn't have tlie earache.
The two furry tilings together made him
look all in a heap. The fanny roly-
poly was set down on a seat in front of
me.
“Now, Jo,” said his papa, “will you sit
right here till I come back? I won’t bring
you anything if you don’t.”
“I ount hardly ’ink, papa,” Jo prom
ised, and papa went away, to see about
the trunk, I dare say. The little furry
heap looked as if he might any moment
pitch headlong from the seat. I felt sure
he would if the car should start suddenly.
I was thinking I would go over and sit
with him when I heard him say to him
self, “I needs to get down,” and down the
dear little muff scrambled to tlie floor.
There lie stood, witli bis bead thrown
back, staring at me with two bright blue
eyes. I tried to coax him over to sit with
me. I wanted to take care of him while
liis father was out. Jo shock his head
gravely.
“Mus’ sit. right here,” he said, with a
solemn reproach in bis voice and face that
made everybody about us laugh.
Then I offered to go over and sit with
him. He wouldn’t consent to this. “I
ount my papa,” he said. “I ount him so
bard. I ount him hardn’n I ount you.”
Just then the car gave a great lunge, as
if it meant to jolt the breath out of us all.
Jo was sprawled out on the floor. I
jumped to pick him up. Of course you
think he cried. That’s what most boys of
his age would have done. But Jo didn’t.
He had a lialf-bewildered, half-injured
look on his face as he said: “Car tumble
me; car tumble me so bad.”
Before I could get him squarely on his
stubby feet, the car gave another jump.
Bump Jo’s head went against the arm of
the seat. He didn’t cry this time, either.
His temple was red, and, no doubt, smart
ing, but he just rubbed it and said, iu bis
queer way, “Car hit me; car hit me so
bad.”
By this time his father came in, and,
seeing how things were, he said: “O Jo,
what have you been about? Naughty
boy 1”
Jo doubled his fat fist in a way that
might have delighted Hecnan. “Don’t
say naughty boy to me, papa,” he said,
“don’t say naughty boy to me. I hit you
bad, papa. I hit you bad.”
Papa took Jo on his knee. Papa frown
ed at Jo. “Are you going to strike me?”
he said.
“Strike you good, papa; not strike you
bad,” said Jo, softening.
“You are going to strike papa,” said the
gentleman, looking sad and grieved.
“No, papa,” said Jo, “I jus’ ounted to
score you, papa; to score you good, papa.”
“When we get to St. Louis I ought to
whip you, oughtx’t I?” - .
“No, papa, no,” said Jo, solemnly,
“oughtn’t whip Jo; Jo too ’ittle, papa. Big
boys shame to lick ’ittle boys, papa.”
Here, the cars being fairly started, I be
gan to lose the most of Jo’s wise, funny
talk.
Once in a while I could bear liim teas
ing for something to eat. Indeed, I think
he was eating every mile of the way from
Chicago to St. Louis, for put bought
some of every thing the wy-peddler brought
through Che cars—pjwumt*, apples, candy,
figs, chestnuts. And if the papa had re-,
fused, some 'of the other passengers would
have rnrely “treated” Jo, fOr there was no
resisting the littlelellow’s pleading. No
sooner would the peddler-boy enter the
car than Jo would say pathetically: “I
ount some so hard, pfepa; I so’ungry,
papa!”
I don’t know how in the world Jo found
room in ids little body for all that went
into liis mouth that day. I don’t think
his legs were hollow, they looked too solid.
The last I saw of Jo he was standing on
the platform in East St. Louis, saying;:
“I glad so liar’, papa.”

Bailey { of that State, spoke in favor of
Mr. Maynard’s confirmation, taking the
ground that -in view of Mr. Maynard’s un
questioned private integrity and ability,
his extreme partisanship during the ‘ex
ceptional period referred to, should be
overlooked in the interests of peace and
reconciliation. Pending further discuss
ion, the Senate adjourned. The proba
bilities are that Mr. Maynard’s nomina
tion will be confirmed at the next execu
tive session.

The Whittaker Case.
West Point, N. Y., May 29.—Tlie
Whittaker court met to-day in secret ses
sion, and made up its final report. The
report, after reviewing the facts and evi
dence in the case, gives the following con
clusions : 1. The court is unable to be
lieve that such slight wounds as Cadet
Whittaker received could have been in
flicted by persons in the manner and un
der tlie circumstances described by him.
2. It does not see why a man with his
surroundings and frame of mind, as shown
by bis own evidence, should have submit
ted to an assault such as alleged without
summoning assistance during the assault,
or immediately thereafter.
3. It believes a person, tied as he was
and left as he claims to have been, could
readily have released himself.
4. From the testimony of the post sur
geon and others the court is compelled to
believe that Whittaker was neither asleep
nor insensible when he was examined on
the morning of April 6th, hut that he was
feigning.
5. The court is not able to discover any
motive that any person other than Whit
taker could have had in making such
assaults, and there is no evidence what
ever to warrant tlie belief that any other
person did make it.
0. It believes that the hair-clipping,
flesh-cutting, &c., could have all been ac
complished by Whittaker himself.
7. The theory that the note of warning
is an imitation of Whittaker’s writing is,
in the opinion of the court, untenable.
Several tests, to which experts in hand
writing were subjected, and their testi
mony,'place it beyond dcubt that Whit
taker himself wrote tlie note of warniog.
The latter conclusion is strengthened by
the fact that the half sheet of paper on
which this note is written, was found in
Whittaker’s possession.
The opinion, after a strong array of cir
cumstantial evidence from the testimony
of experts in handwriting and from the
conflicting statements of Cadet Whittaker,
and the lack of veracity evinced by him
in certain cases during the inquiry, goes
on to say that the court is of the opinion
that the imputation upon the character of
Cadet Whittaker referred to in tlie order
convening the court, in the official reports
of the commandant of cadets and the post
surgeon, is fully sustained.
When the report was sent to General
Schofield and read by him, he caused a
letter to he addressed to Col. Lazellc,
commandant of the corps of cadets, di
recting the arrest of Whittaker, and plac
ing him in confinement in his own room.
The order was promptly carried out,
and Whittaker will remain under arrest
until his case is disposed of, and a guard
will keep him under surveillance.
Death of Dr. Brn.cc.
We have already referred to the death
of this excellent man, but we copy the
following extract from a letter from his
pastor to a friend in this city:
ThomasvilLe, Ga., May 25, 1880.
Dear Brother: With a sad heart I write
you of the death of Dr. J. R. Bruce. He
was drowned last Saturday, during that
heavy rain and storm, in a small stream
northeast of Tliomasville. The stream is
very deceptive. It rises very rapidly, and
the converging waters rush precipitately
across the road. One day last fall I had
been to see young Johnson (who has since
died) and started home, after what seem
ed to me no very great rain, and came
near being thrown from my horse into the
same place, where it is supposed the doc
tor lost his life. To show you how rapid-
,ly it rises, it is thought the doctor had
crossed the stream only ten or fifteen
miuutes before the fatal plunge.
His little boy had gone with tho doctor's
span of buggy horses, to a plantation of
his some eight miles from town. When
the stonn—the most fearful I ever beheld,
it seemed to me—began to rage, the father
became uneasy for his son, and started to
meet him. Archy, his little boy, came in
just as ho left. They missed each other,
•tc.
<The funeral took place yesterday. I
have never seen a community so stricken.
The stores were all closed. The people
were in from all around in tho country.
The church house—gallery and all—was.
packed. Such a tribute of respect has sel
dom been paid any man. It is almost the
finishing blow to our church.
