THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1889. e iGHT AS AN ORATOR. The Qualities which Enabled Him to Hold Such a Sway Over the People. An English writer described Mr. Bright's ora- tory: “Mr. Bright, the orator par excellence of the house of commons, is almost precisely the moral and political antithesis of Mr. Disraeli. When Mrs. Sarah Brydges Willyams, of Tor- quay, left Mr. Disraeli a large fortune ‘as an expression of her admiration for his political principles,’ what the world chiefly wonders at was, not the legacy, but the lady’s success in discovering what Mr. Disraeli’s political prin- ciples were. No such mystery hangs about Mr. Bright. Rightly or wrongly, he holds certain views of how the British empire ought to be governed and never once in the course of a long career, run for the greater part under the fierce light that beats upon 8 man who has achieved power and frame in parliament, has he departed from the narrow road hedged about by the principles under the guidance of which he entered upon public life. While political animosity has d by no ditch through the mire of which it might drag Mr. Bright, it has never accused him of qposking with an ussertein cound or of having upheld yesterday that which he denounces to- day. To this strong and sure foundation of character Mr. Bright adds the airy graces of oratory that make the structure of the states- man complete. His manner when speaking is quiet and subdued, butt is the apparent subju- gation which a bar of iron undergoes when it passes from he red-hot stage to the condition of white hea. He has himself well in hand throughout bis orations, and therefore main- tains his hold upon his audience. His gestures are of the fewest, but they always seem appro- priate aud natural. A simple wave of the right band and the sentence is emphasized. Nature has gifted him with a fine presence and @ voice the like of which has but rarely rung through the rafters of St. Stephen's. ‘Like a bell.” is the illustration usually em- ployed in the eadeavor to convey by words an impression of i music, but I think it were Letter tosay .ke a peal of bells,’ for a single one could m.; produce the varied tones in which Mr. Bright suits his expressions to the theme. On the whole, the dominant tone is one of pathos. Possibly because nearly al . Bright's great speeches have been made when he has been pleading the cause of the oppressed or denouncing a threatened wrong, a tone of melancholy can be heard running through all. And for the expression of pathos there are marvelously touching tones in his voice—tones which carry right to the listener's heart the tender thoughts that come glowing from the speaker's, and are clad in simple words as they his tongue. “Who that heard it will ever forget the solemn sentence that feil from the orator’s lips when the Vienna negotiations for peace with Russia promised to interrupt the Crimean war? “The angel of death has been abroad through- out the land. You may almost hear,the very beating of his wings.’ This wasa bold oratorical flight to take in the house of commons, which is above all things, practical, and kills by good hearty laughter any approach to sentimentality. For « moment the success of the imagery was doubtful. The house trembled between laugh- ter and tears. ‘If you had said the flapping of its wings,’ said Mr. Cobden to Mr. Wight os they walked home together after the speech, ‘we should have gone into a fit of laughter. But Mr. Bright had selected the right word, had fitted itin the right place, and the true pathos af the tones in which the sentence was slowly spoken carried it far above the level of laughter. HIs EUMOR “Then, again, Mr. Bright's humurous sayings come spontancously. His humor is not sar- donic, like Mr. Disraeli’s, but it resembles it, imasmuch as its manifestations have chiefly been in the direction of hitting off some persoi or party by a single phrase. When he desired, | during the debate on the reform Dill, to cover with ridicule the clique of which Mr. Lowe was the head, he bethought him of David's escape from Achish, King ot Gath, and the character of the people who subsequently foregathered with him in the Cave of Aduilum. and a new nume was added to the political vocabulary. When. pending the generalelection, he had oc- easion to complain of the determined dissatis- faction of the conservatives he again turned to the classical book of the people, and on the mor- row ali England was laughing at the party, who, ‘if they bad been in the wilderness, would have complained of the Ten Command- ments as a harrassing piece of legislation.’ Mr. Bright's illustrations when drawn from other sources are equaily homely and therefore effee- tive. Thus, when he dubbed Mr. Disraeli the “Mystery man of the Ministry,’ and when he likened Mr. Lowe and Mr. Horsman toa Scotch terrier, of which no one could certainly say Which was the head and which was the tail, e one could comprehend and enjoy the reference. The volume of sarcasm hidden in the parenthetical remark about the gentleman's ancestors who came over with the couqueror— “L never heard that they did anything else! —is plain reading for all. “So is the well-merited retort upon a noble lord who, during a time while Mr. Bright was temporarily laid aside by illness, took the op- portunity of publicly declaring that, by way of punishment for the uses he had made of his talents, Providence had inflicted upon Mr. Eright a disease of the brain. ‘It may be so,’ said Mr. Bright to the house of commons, when he came back, ‘but in any case it will be some consolation to the friends and family of the noble lord to know that the disease is one which even Providence could not inflict upon him.’ Public Spirit in America. From the San Francisco Chronicle. To make a catalogue of the public institutions in the United States which owe their existence to private generosity and liberality would re- quire nota column, buta volume. From the endowment of Harvard college to the founda- tion of the Leland Stanford, jr., university, the history of higher education in the United States «= almost @ continuous record of the public spirit of Americans who have given their pri- vate fortunes for the public good, Nor is the list of public benefactors any less imposing an the domain of art and its kindred. The Corcoran gallery in Washington, the Boston conservatory of music, the ‘Sietropolitan art museum in New York, with Carnegie’s recent donation, already referred to, are o1 iy a few out of the very many instances which might be ad- duced to show thatthe fine arts, which Macaulay believed to be peculiarly withm the province of a mouarchy are as dear to the hearts of re- publican as they could ve to the oldest and proudest aristocracy of Eicope. When it is re- membered that the Un‘ied States as a nation is scarcely a century oid, that culture has always been declared to be a plant of slow growth, and that we have no leisure class in this country, the advance made in the liberal arts and the public spirit of our citizens is nothing short of marvelous. Such men constitute the true aris- tocracy of nation—an aristocracy of intelli- gence, of liberality, of J pene oy of culture wud of a broad and Catholic public spirit—and beside such an aristocracy the titled sons of who base their claims to respect end extraordinary consideration solely upon the deeds of their ancestors, or upon some beam of ro: 1 favor which fell aslant the path ous ancestress, are not to be men- more than refined goldis to be com- pared to tinsel. ——— cee. The Gold Mine Bubbie. 4 CORRESPONDENT CHARGES A LAND COMPANY WITH BEING RESPONSIDLE FOR IT. Aspecial to the Philadelphia Press from San Francisco, March 28, says: As expected some time ago, the lower California mining boom amounts to nothing, and in less than month there will be less than a corporal’s guard of seusible miners in that region. A well-known correspondent writing from that country to the Examiner, seta f at length the various schemes adopted to skin settlers und says: “The International land com; and front of itall. The placers have been salt } soon THE POSTAGE STAMP MYTH. A Newspaper Gives a Youthful Reader Some Sound Advice. For years past there has been an idea in the minds of many young people that there lives @ man somewhere who will give $1,000 for 1,000,000 canceled postage stamps. In reply- ing toa youthful correspondent the Syracuse Heraid says: “This canceled postage stamp myth, for such it must really be called, has been current among American juveniles for nearly twenty years, In many households throughout the land it is believed in as unques- tioningly as the Hindoo devotee believes in Brahma or as the Mahometan in the prophet of Allah. Somewhere there isa person eager and willing to pay #1,000 for a million canceled stamps, and in many places industrious collec- tors have been engaged in the fond endeavor to gather up the necessary million. No one has ever stopped to inquire the meaning of a mil- lion, or to figure for a moment how long a time it weekd tike for one person to collect a million stamps. “An enterprising youth in search of stam) would think if he got a hundred a day he would be getting a great prize, and yet at that rate it would take him nearly twenty-eight years to gain the coveted million. Suppose he could collect one thousand a day in the year, it would still oceupy nearly three years of his time, and then it would take nearly as long a time to count them out to the person paying the money for them, and there would be very little time left either for eating or sleeping. much less do- ing anything else in the way of daily duties. Thus it may be seen how foolish the idea is that, with great industry, a million stamps could be collected in many years and then re- counted toa purchaser. And yet it seems like something that could be accomplished. “A few years ago a pleasant story went the rounds of the papers telling how some young person, erly. desirous of obtaining this 1,000 for ius “education, went the rounds of the basinéds offices, told his needs and gath- ered up ajt/the stamps in innumerable waste baskets da this way he obtained 1,000,000 of stamps, and, as the story goes, got the 21,000, But if one critically examines the tale it will be seen what an hop epee it is. To sever the stamps from the envelopes, to count and bunch them would take a very large amount of time. The most industrious worker could not possibly do this work at the rate of one stamp a minute, but supposing he did do this, it would only be at the rate of sixty an hour, or about 600 a day for an or- dinary da; work. At that rate it would take nearly five years to count them. Then, if they had to be counted again to the purchaser, it would take another five years.” ——— — see A Boss Bigamist Dead. CAREER OF A MAN WHO HAD A WEAKNESS FOR MARRYING AND DESERTING WOMEN. Auburn, N. ¥., Special to the New York Herald. Some time in 1848 Silas Covey was married in the town of Venice. He lived with his wife for several years, when they mutually agreed to separate, the wife going to Massachusetts and Silas remaining in the neighborhood of Venice.’ Not Jong after the separation Silas ied again. :One child was born of this umiow.” After three or four years Mrs. Covey No. 2 and the child died. is frequently got himself in trouble, and in 1556, owing to a transgression not mentioned, he fled the county. He went to Michigan, and there afterward became enamored of a young woman in a backwoods district and married her. He lived with her for a num- ber of years. Several children were born to them, and Silas found it hard to make both ends meet. One night he quietly stole away. It was later learned that he had gone to Texas, where within a short time knot No. 4 was tied. In due time Mrs. Covey the fourth was also de- serted. Silas returned to Michigan and made up with No. 3, and secured a divorce from No. 1. Silas then returned to Texas, where he found No. 4, and made up and lived with her again until last September, when he succumbed to the inevitable. His remains were buried in Texas, the expenses of the funeral being de- frayed by No. 4. And thus ended the career of the bigamous Silas, When relatives at Moravia were notified of Silas’ death a brother of deceased notified the Massachusetts widow, who without delay applied for letters of ‘administration upon his estate, which is valued at #500. The Michigan and Texas widows, who had been made cogni. zant of the proceedings, filed objec ons. The case was on before Surrogate Teller yesterday, and testimony was adduced showing that the Massachusetts woran, who is known as No, 2, had married again, and that her husband had died. Attorney Aiken offered testimony to show thata decree of divorce had been granted, but it was not admitted, and the proceedings were adjourned thirty days to allow time for him to get an authenticated copy of the divorce. It developed in the proceedings that after Silas had obtained his divorce from No. 2 he remarried the Michigan woman, so that he could give a good title to the property sold to his brother, Dr. Covey. vee Dollars Turned into a Brick. THE ADIRONDACK GUIDE WHO WENT HUNTING AMONG NEW YORK SHARPERS. An Albany special to the New York World, March 27, says: Warren Morehouse, one of the famous guides of the Adirondack region, a few days ago received a letter from New York say- ing he had drawn #10,000 in a lottery, but that it would be necessary to pay $300 to entitle him ‘The guide induced his cousi eal, to mortgage her home money. He went to New York, and at the Grand Central hotel met two men. who showed him the $10,000, Being satisfied the money was genuine, More- house suggested that he begin pocketing the bills, but the sharpers told him he would not get two blocks away before he would be knocked down and robbed. , They thought that the best Way would be tovput the money in a box, fasten it securely, anf ghd it to his home by express, He then help them pack all the bills in a box, and then oue of the sharpers helped him on with is overcoat, and they took the box to the express office, marked it to his address and got @ receipt for the same. He then paid them the $300. Onarriving at his destination he found his box to contain a brick, carefully rolled up in two or three old newspapers. The mortgagers have demanded Mrs. Neal's furni- ture that secured the loan of the $300. coe Politéness in Church. From the Philadelphia Star. The real lady will always bear in mind the fact that the comfort and convenience of others are always entitled to consideration on her part, and that consequently it is neither polite nor courteous to block a church or a lecture-room aisle by stopping to hold con- versation, when there are perhaps a hundred or more behind anxious to get out. We saw two ladies in a fashionable church on last Sun- day who ere guilty of this breach of polite- ness. They did not, to be sure, come to a dead halt, but worshi tion, and from their size filling the aisle and preventing: others from passing. They con- tinued the'provoention down the stairways and to the ver¥elmrch door, coming to a dead halt | on the outer step and continuing their talk, until the crowd behind would bear it no longer, and gave them so many indications of dis. pleasure that they at length stood aside and let the annoyed and impatient people behind them _There was no intentional annoyance; it was simply a reprehensible neglect of one of the plainest and most imperative demands of com- mon politeness. Most people who attend church, morning or evening, are anxious to get home as soon as the service is over, and when their wishes are interfered with, as in the case cited, there is created a feeling quite the re- verse of the spirit taught by sermons gen- erally. Ladies should always remember that church and theater aisles are not proper places for confidential chat unless it can be indulged without inconveniencing and annoy- ing others. The vestibule or the pavement outside should be chosen for such a purpose. 200. A Side-Light on Parnell. From the Glasgow Mail. At the St. James’ hall meeting Mr. Parnell | appeared with his arm ina sling; he had hurt his hand testing gold found on his own estate in Wicklow, as if the old land itself wished to offer him a testimonial.

A Society Girl Tries Her Hand at Fres- coing. From the N. ¥. World. A certain society girl in New York has been utilizing her Lenten leisure in experiments in the art of frescoing, a new departure in the list of feminine accomplishments. The idea was not original with her, however, she having bor- rowed it from a Buffalo girl, the Buffalo young women being, as a rule, the most astonishingly superior and capable persons. On Delaware avenue of that city the experiment was The room was freshly plastered and the surface was left slightly rough. Upon this was laid a coat of blue paint, pale towards the floor and deepening as it went up to the ceiling, which was given the tint of hot blue, seen in June skies. All over this ceiling is painted in fresco groups of clouds of the soft, translucent white of the clouds of summer noons. All over the walls grow masses of daisies of every height and size, singly and in groups; sometimes with a broken stem or nodding over, as if blown with the wind; standing with broad white disks | growing straight upward or else with close- tolded blossoms not yet opened tothe sun. The room is furnished in white wood, the draperies are of muslin, and wherever there is room for embroideried daisies there they are. In her din- ing-room this gifted young woman has painted her walls of soft (hag There is no reckless unconveutionality here, though suitable enough in the bedroom. The frescoing is done in a very deep frieze of painted orange boughs, with the dark-green leaves massed thick! as a decorated background for the ae en globes of the fruit. The above-men- tioned young woman in New York having heard of this, and learned by experiment that she herself had some talent in the same direction,has been spending her time since Lent began in transforming her boudoir into a woodland bower. Half way up the wall she has painted the slim, silvery trunks of dogwood trees, and from these spread upward until they cover the entire ceiling branches set with the | gray green leaves and broad masses of white blossoms which make the dogwood beautiful in spring. The impression upon entering the room almost takes away one’s breath with sur- prise, so much does it seem as though one had suddenly stepped into the heart of the spring woods, the effect of blossoming verdure is so realistic. The furnishings of the room are be- ing all arranged in white and green, which matches the beautiful canopy of flowers, and so delighted is the painter with the success of her work that she has already made designs for the adorning of her bedroom, which is to be deco- rated with the wisteria vine in full blossom. She says: ‘It has always been my desire to have a room furnished in the color of wisteria flowers, and now this frescoing business has given mea beautiful new idea concerning it. Every spring Igo up to the park when it is time for the wis- teria to flower and spend hours sitting under the trellis near the Casino, where it grows. The vine is so luxuriant and blossoms go profusely that one cannot even see the sky through the thick purple canopy it makes over one’s head, and I sit there for hours under the rain'of per- fumed purple blossoms falling all the time with a little whispering sound, It has alwaysseemed to me the most beautiful thing in the whole world, and I mean to paint the very same thing in my bedroom. I will paint the big brown vine as springing up in every direction from the lower part of the wall and spreading out in branches loaded with its purple flowers until it covers the entire ceiling. Allmy room will be hung and furnished in the same shade. I don’t think it is generally known,” said she, “that nothing in the world is so becoming as the light which comes through lilac. People hang rose-colored curtains and use it in the shades of their lamps under the impression that it is very becoming, but in reality these red and pink shades make the faces seen behind them absolutely colorless, while light that shines through lilac will make the whitest face look rosy. Let any woman hang a lilac shade in her window or sit in the sun under a lilac parasol and she will promptly fall in love with herself for her own beautiful complexion.” as sesamin At the election at Wilmington, N.
