Webster’s Power of Oratory.

Webster had a full, clear resonant voice that could be heard by 10,000 people at once. His style of delivery was impressive, and his tricks of oratory were inimitable. Whenever he was about to make a telling point, he would pause for what seemed to be a long time, in order to secure the full attention of bls auditors.

Our export trade is steadily in” creasing. The loudest talker is not always he deepest thinker. There is a great difference between capacity of lungs and strength of intellect.

The United States is going into the man. nfactunng exportbasins s at a rate that is f rig htenlng English and other European manufacturers. Whereas a few years ago almost the sole export business of the country was in food and agricultural products, to-day the export of manufactured goods is about one-third of the total export of the country and is annually grow, ii g at aiate which to foreign competitors is alarming. A few years ago American manufactured goods were found in very few of the foreign markets The American market for manufactured goods today extends to every part of th civilized world In these markets American goods compete with foreign-made goods, a din the greater number they undersell the goods of other countries The age-hon-ored theorv that the market o f the wor could never belong to America si long as the American wages continued the highest has proved a fallacy The Industry and superior genius of the American workingmen, it is found, more t an make up the diftere ce in the wages There are very few people, indeed, vho realize the extent of the growth of the manufacturing export business, or who know anything about the variety of the articles that are exported

An ind gnant correspondent of the Pilot writes that paper “that some parties deny that The Peo; pie’s Pilot is printed 'all-at-home’ ’ and the editor proceeds to quiet the fears of the i. c. with the an - nouncement that the paper aforesaid does not bear the 'ear-marks of the “patent inside” sheet”; and panders to his pride with the declaration that “The Pilot has the distinction of being the only paper in Jasper county that does not use “patents”, etc., etc. But we fear the i. c. will become irrevocably wound up when he seeks to ascertain the difference ‘‘’twixt t veedle dum and tweedle-dee.”— No part of The Pilot is printed on Chicago presses, but the better part of seven pages are plates imported from Chica o sterreotype houses and the “Torchlight.” If the “i. c.” can distinguish ia dis-» feYence between printing on plates in Chicago or printing at home on imported plates, favorable to the latter, it will certainly be highly gratifying to the manager of the Pilot, and forever determine t' e question of difference “’twixt t veedle-cum and tweedle-dee.”

One of our exchanges s| eaks of a millinery store kept by a very estimable lady, and says the editor w s very glad to see her stocking up. j.he editor says he was more astonished than he was when the paper was out tomeet the lady and have htr strike him across the brow with an umbrell and tell him he was a liar, and that she would t-Il his wife. He didn’t know what si e was mad ui, and had to read the item ov?r several times to see if there was anything spireful in it.
