I have never noted in any ether orator the mune quality in the same degree. I reed' at times the national hea "of the voice of the elder Dr. Tyn , which in sweetness of tone and rythmical cadence it greatly surpassed. His voice does not strike one as power- ful.

Even his most impassioned utterance were not rapid; he sometimes hesitated for a word, and sometimes recall a wrong one and substnuted nether; but he did not the together broken fragments of sentences. with those dreadful "ugh." the English speaker so constantly in- dulges in. His action was slight and staple. It did not strike me that he added mush force to his words by his gestures, and they did not posses a grace at all com- mensurate with the beauty of his voice. That he had studied his speech an- alytically, that he had gone over the whole subject thoroughly, and knew what course he wished to pursue, what points to make, what objections to his proposed measure to answer, what ar- guments for its adoption to urge, was very evident; but that he had studied it rhetorically there was no indication. 1 should say that, in the best sense of the term, it was purely extemporan- eous. But what impressed me most. and what unmistakably • impressed even his opponents in spite of themselves, was the spirit which breathed through it, and which, at least for the time, chang- ed the *hole atmosphere of the House. For an hour he had been baited -1 can use no other expression—by the Opposition. His notice of motion had aroused the bitterest animosities. That there was an endeavour to make him lose his temper I will not aver; that few men leas disciplined and practised in parliamentary warfare would have kept their tempers I unhesitatingly as- sert. His opening sentence, even more by his spirit than by his words, swept out the bitter passions of 'this unfortunate prelude, "In approaching the discussion of a .profoundly important, very comprehen- sive, and rather complex subject, I think my first, duty will be to efface, from my recollection at any rate, the occurrences of the last hour or hour and a half."

JUNE 30,182. iciest Ise A est rueful a. Griffin, Edison's privet e secretary, once told me a funnily charncteristic story of the manner in which Edison came to get married. The idea was first suggested by an intimaie friend eho made the point that he needed a inietress to pres- ide over his big house, which was , being managed by a houselieeper and several servants. I dare say the, idea had rcot occurred to him before, for be it known he is the shyest an I most bat Wu' of n.sa, but he seemed pleased with the proposition, and inquired whom he should marry The frigid somewhat teatly replied, "anyone"; that a man who had so little sentiment in his soul as to ask such a question ought to be satisfied with any- thing that wore a petticoat and was dec- ent, and concluded by saying: "There are a number of nice girls employed in your factory over yonder; they aren't es- pecially refiLed or cultivated, I must eionfess, but thy are respectable, and that is the main consideration after all." Edison looked them all over, and after making his selection, put the question plumply to her. It was Edison's way of doing business, bet embarrassed the young lady all the same. She Relied tine to consider, and Edison granted her a week. At the end of that time sho &e - ..vied him, and they ware married with. out delay.

The aid elm.eteristut of the Chin as a nation, is induatry. Their working day begins at dawn and lasts till sunset. Schools open at sunrise end do not clone till bp. m , there being but one short re- cess during the day. The Ilemperer and his court rise soon after midnight, and mutt audiences an given between 5 and 8 o'clock i*. the morning. This sante in- dustry is exhibited by all classes. Atter sunset very few people are in the streets, the Chinese, like domestic fowls, retir- ing early to rest. There is no day cor- responding to Sunday, and only &low holidays in the year. Busily as they these people are never in a hurry, never nervous, and are not given to worrying; but are steady, cheerful and sober. They rarely quarrel, and even if they do, seldom come to tlowa There will bus little queue pulling, some call- ing of hard name., and then the by- standers will quietly separate the com- batants. It is not physical' timidity, but a sensitive consciousness of the disgraced fightingthat keepsthem from engaging in brew's. That they are not cowards is web proven by the fact that they submit without flinching to the most severe sur- gical operations without ever using ancesthetics. They maintain that it is very injurious to health to be nervous, to worry or to give away to anger. As a people the Chinese do not de- sire a y3ICH in the Government. The common people ere not public spirited, and they are not only, through ignorance, indifferent to bene- ficial reforms, but they oppose them strongly if they are apt to increase the taxes. The Government of China is net nearly so aristocratic as foreigners are accustomed to think it is, but when the popular voice is once aroused it is sure to have great force. In many cases where there is a conflict between the mandarin, or governor of a distract, and the people, if the people are patient and commit no acts of violence, the manda- rin either yields or is removed by the goveininent. The people have not the profoundest respect for precedent, and are, in fact,coustitutionally conservative. Although in the main they use the same implenients and materials known to them for thousands (f years, yet their religion itself is an importation freta In- dia, and they use foreign watches, needles, kerosene, sulphur, matches, cotton fabric, Ltc. They are, as a peo- ple, excessively polite, and thei: cere- monial of axial intercnuie is to foreign- ers painfully elaborate. -It is an error to suppose, however, tat they are a, cringing race; they assert their rights vigorously enough when occasion calls. They are not a truth telling people. They give false evidence in trials, fur• nish false statistics, and even officials present reports that are tissues of false- hoods. It is impossible to shame them by exparing their untruthfulness. They are not addicted to thieving,however. There is touch said about the, gross im- morality of this people. In China, at least, if it exists it is not seen. There are societies for the suppression of im- moral books. The sacred writings cc,n- tain not one indecent word, and their paintings and sculpture are perfectly' pure. Vulgar language is never heard above the lowest chimes. All Chinamen drink some wine, a native beverage made of rice, but drunkenness is absolutely unknown, so that there are nine 4 the evils of intemperance there so common here—wife beating, brawling, and vio- lence of all kinds. The habit that cur- ses the nation. opium ann.king, ener- vates the physical, inental, and mortal nature, but does not lead to vialence. • A Wier Preeaution.

Frequently the fugitives arriv- ed in Austria deprived of almost every article of clothing, and eyewitnesses des- cribe how stripped by the Cossacks, the children were led into Brody absolutely naked. Now, however, the flood of refugees has so increased that no Cleseack 4�11•A can withstand it, and the Jews now pass the frontier by the thoueands with- out hindrance. MS gaoled is a sub- ject of sure perplexity totheishabitenteel those places where the imagess first find a resting place wham at least life and limb are secure; and the greatest anew is felt in Gallas, which prejecting its eastern frontier into the Ultnine—the scene of the worst prosecutions and ex- cesses—atoms almost to stretch out its arm to rescue the helpless sufferers. At Brody, • fatal town dem to the frontier, the pressure is greatest, and thereop to the present time, at least 20,- 000 Jews have taken shelter, of whom 16,000 yet remain, wholly destitute of means, and awaiting their turn for de- portation through some charitable agency. At an early stage of Um egodus, when the numbers were comparatively 'small, the Universe' Israditish alliance, which though located in Paris, has branch en in Berlin, Vienna and most large towns .en the ooatinent, came to the rescue, and, sending to Brody as commissioners Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Charles Netter of Paris, Dr. Friedleander of Vienna, and Mr. Hermann Magnus of Leipsic, selected from the refttgees such as appeared fit subjects for ernigret;on and forwarded them to Air.Lreas. A princely donation of 1,000,000 francs presented by Baron Hirsch the Jewish banker at Paris, en- abled much to be accomplished u this direction. But with ever increasing numbers of fugitives ad failing funds, the work had to be discontinued, and, !France thus retiring for a time from the philanthropic campaign, England otep- ped in.—[Times. Penni nallen. Lindley Murray laid down twenty rules to govern the use of a cupfuls, and Wil- son in his "Treatise of Punetuation,'' gives nineteen. No wonder that with so many rules people get confu led as to the proper use of this, the smallest grammatical 'division in written or written or printed matter. Many illustratif ns might be given to indicate the important character of the errors that arise from its omission or improper use; but the following will suffice: In the Imperial Dictionary, the word "Tarn" is thus defined: "A small 'noun tain, lake or pool." The impru oper s of the coma's after mountain, makes tarn signify three things 1st a nsountain; 2nd, a lake, and third a pool, instead (4 simply a mountain lake or pool. At a public dinner this toast was given "Woman—without her, man is a brute." A reporter had it printed: "Woman without her man, is a brute." A printer, meddling with the verdict of a coconer's jury,by inserting a comma after "drinking," instead of "apoplexy," roade it read thus: "Deceased carne to his death by excessive drinking, causing apoplexy in the minds of the jury."
