LINCOLN AS AN ORATOR

A Ft* Sample* of Hla Greta* Gif* ot Lupufe, Among the many gifts that made Lincoln the greatest man of his country in the period of its greatest trial was hla gift of stating the grandest principles in the simplest terms, says the New York Recorder. Everybody who reads Is familiar with his Gettysburg masterpiece, of which Emerson said that there was only one other American speech that compared with it—that of John Brown to the court that tried him. But there is a great mine of good speech In the less famous and largelynegleoted deliverances of our martyrPresident. Here are a few samples Of the Lincoln style, airways simple, always strong: “I say that no man is good enough to govern another man without that other man’s consent I say this is the leading principle, the sheet-anchor, of American republicanism.” “As I understand the spirit of o>ur Institutions, It is designed to promote the elevation of men. I am, therefore, hostile to anything that tends to their debasement” “I hold, if the Almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work. He would have made them with mouths only, and no hands; and If He had ever made another class that He had listened should do all the work and none of the eating, He would have made them without mouths and with all hands.” ‘'When the time comes I shall take the ground that I think Is right—right for the North, far the South, for the East, for the West—for the whole country.”

“I have no prejudice against the Southern people. They are just what we should be In their situation. If slavery did not now exist among them they would not introduce it If It did now exist among us we should not Instantly give It up.” “It is but a specious and fantastic arrangement of words by which a man can prove a horse-chestnut to be a chestnut horse.” “Stand with anybody that stands right Stand with him while he 1b right and part with him when he goes wrong.” “What would you do in my position? Would you drop the war where it Is? Or would you prosecute it In future with elder-stalk squirts chargedwith rose water?” “There are already among us those who, if the Union be preserved, will live to see it contain 250,000,000 of population. The struggle of to-day is not only for to-day; it is fw a vast future also.” "No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toll up from poverty; none less Inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned.”

DROPS OF WATER.

The Awful Pain Their Continual Pall* ing Inflicts. One of the Chinese modes of punishment, especially when a confession is wanted from a criminal, is to place him where a drop of water will fall upon one certain spot in his shaved crown for hours, or days, If neoessary. The torture this Inflicts is proved by an experience of Sandow, the strong man. When he was In Vienna a few years ago a school teacher bet him that he would pot be able to let a half litre of water drop upon his hand until the measure was exhausted. A half litre la only a little more than a pint. Sandow laughed at the very idea of his not being able to do this. So a half-litre measure was procured, and a hole drilled In the bottom just sufficient to let the water escape drop by drop. Then the experiment began. Sandow laughed and chatted gaily at first. The schoolmaster kept count upon the number of drops. At about the two hundredth Sandow grew a little more serious. Soon an expression of pain crossed his face. With the entrance into4he third hundred his hand began to swell and grow red. Then the skin burst The pain grew more and more excruciating. Finally, at the four hundred and twentieth drop Sandow had to give up and acknowledge himself vanquished. His band was sore for several days after.
