THE LIBEL LAW. Some Particulara of the Great ~ Speech I Did Not Deliver. . | e, ! I The Michigan Press Association have just visited Dertoit and, I think, have had a first-rate time. They are the shrewdest body of men that I have ever meg * Théy came here to have a good time, and they were resolved that there was going to be nothing to mar their pleastire. Thus it was thatl did not get a chance to fire off the great speech that I had carfully prepared for the occasion. : It was suggested to me, as I had a great admiration for some of the laws of the province of Ontario, that I would make a speech to the association onthe Ontario law of libel. I bit at this suggestion with only too great avidity, quite forgetting that it takes at least two to make a speech successful, the other fellow being the listener. I was on hand early with a huge volume of the Revised Statutes of Ontario under my arm, but for the first while there was other business to transact, 'and there seemed to be no chance to work off my speech, I let itfbe known pretty thoroughly througho‘(ﬁc the convention that I was loaded for bear and had a great speech p?‘epdred and there, I now believe, 1 e a mistake. I put the association on their guard. Another time when I appeared in the hall they adjourned and went to the Island Park. Again, with the big book still under my arm, I approached the platform and tried to catch the President’s eye, but some one moved that they go to the House of Correction, and they went.. I admit that looking atthis matter in the light of after events, I might have known that folks who preferred a term in the House of Correction to listening to a speech from me, perhaps did -not want to hear me at all, but I did not knew as much last week asl do today: . - s ~ The day that the subject of libe] actually came up I was on hand, of course, but the moment they saw the huge bulk of the Revised Statutes somé one hastily moved an adjournment, which was hastily adopted and I was left again. It began to dawn on me about this time that it was one thing to prepare a speech and quite another to get to deliver it. The last day of the session the big book and myself wereearly on hand. I planted—or perhaps I should say we planted ourselves right in front of the presiding officer, so that if he did not notice me, he would at least notice the book. I rose after every speaker until at last the President was compelled to take some action. He said: ;

! ‘‘There is a gentleman here who desires to address you on the subject of the libel law” [Dense silence, during which I moved to the platform.] «I thought it best, perhaps, that this speech should be pestponed until the afternoon session, as we have a good deal of business to get through with this forenoon.” [Great applause.] ‘All in favor of postponing this discourse until this afternoon, make it manifest by saying ‘aye.’” [Storm of ayes.] ‘‘Contrary ‘no.”” [Deep silence.] ‘‘The ‘ayes’ have it”. i

' Well, there was nothing for me to do under those circumstances, so I went and did it. - I had lunch, looked over my speech again and went back to the hall. For an hour I sat on the platform entirely alone. I then thought of sendigg down for the janitor to see if he would not consent to listen to me, but at that moment the janitor himself appeared. ; i, “*Are you waiting for any body?” he. asked. ' . “Yes, I'm waiting for the Press Association.” v e “0, they won'tbe here again. They moved that the afternoon session be abandoned so that they would be sure not to miss the boat.” ’ ol ““The boat? What boat?” : 4“0, they’reall going:to Star Island at 380. You'll have to hurry if you're going. The boat leaves in a 'few minutes. They're going to have a big dinner there to-night and lots of spéeches.” TR A - Speeches!! . That settled me. Doubtless they would be looking for me at: ‘the.banquet and I would be left. 1 resolved not to disappoint them if running would do it. 80, seizing the big volume of Revised Statutes, I rushed __“How about this speech?” I said to the President, 0, you're here e roplied ith a touch of surprise in his voice, “Well, Peings gt bt il oy ~ oL be LL Tl e

fingst oratorical efforts that had Bqan prepared for the twenty-first annual meeting of the M. P. A. Nghacy %Qll, the dinner was a great success. ,Eﬁfi'ythiﬁgfi’venﬂﬂs@cloﬁf?vork; the waiters, seemingly -some hundreds of them, moved jat the_touch of a bell and ‘there. was gott}nﬁ‘ to-interfere-with the ‘completeriess of the, Occasion. After difiner” there was speeches from the gentlemen whose names were down on the bill of fare.. There was some little rivalry between the speakers and the fog-horn whistle of the Greyhound. That steamer got g little impatient towards thelast and the beautiful rhythm of her whistle shook the foundations of the hotel at intervals in a manner that was pleasing to the speakers who had. to compete *with it. _ el When we got back on the boat, I called the attention of the chairman to the faet that it was quite dark -outside and that there was no scenery of any kind to distract the attention of those on board from a well thought-out speech, and that perhaps it would not ‘be a bad idea to collect them together while I'addressed them on the Ontario Law of Libel. He said he was glad I had suggested this, and that he would ‘at once see about arranging .the thing. Then he went away. ‘ :

I ran him down again, somewhat later, and he thanked me again for calling his attention to the speech. The band was now playing in the cabin, he said, but he would make arrangements for stopping them so that the people could hear the speéch they had been waiting so impatiently for ever since they came to Detroit. Some time after this Isought out the chairman and told him that the Revised Statutes of Ontario contained some 1,430 pages and the. book was rather heavy to lug around, and was getting heavier every moment, and that I would like t> get the book off my hands and the speech off my mind. ; He agreed with me and asked me to come aft. He thought the speech would sound first-rate on the after deck. Isuggested that it was rather windy and neisy out there; but he said it was just the spot for a rattling good speech. 4 X On the Greyhound there is quite an ample after-deck with many chairs on it, and he placed me where a post comes up about four feet from the deck, at the extreme aft, and said to excuse him a moment while he went to drum up the crowd and ask General Alger to come and introduce me to my audience. ' L PR I placed the Revised Statutes on the top of this post, and was soon pleased to see the crowd pour out of the cabin doors and take seats. There were a great many ladies,and young ladies, too, and many of the younger gentlemen of the party. This was very gratifying to me, Ilso, for it showed that the young peopic had an interest in the serious things of life. (General Alger, I supposed, was taking some little time in preparing the introduction, as naturally he would wantto do the thing well. At this moment Captain Nicholson came out of the cabin, and looking around beamingly on the crowd, said in his stentorian voice: “Take your pariners for a quadrills.” ‘““Hold on, Cszptain Jeoe,” I ecried; *‘there is some mistake here. I am just going to address these folks on the libel law. I'm waiting for General Alger. He's going to introduce me. The cha.irmmﬁs gone for him.” 9 “That’s all right,”” said the Captain. “We'll have a dance while. you are waiting.” And as eight couple were on the deck h= made a signal through the cabin door, and the band at once started up tha' well-known tune, which Regins: = : ~ . “Domp te dwmpety dump de domp; v Dompety doup de domp." o A young men with gold lace on his cap came out and stood by one of the pillars and addressed the crowd in a loud, staceato voice occasionally, in this fashion: - "“First four forward.” The couple mentioned moved menacingly towards each other. ' ! “Back the same.” . Then they retreated. : “Ladies chain.” ~ The giddy young creatures marched ‘towards each other, joined their right hands high in the sir, walked around ‘each other, then took the hands of the gentlemenin the same way and marched round them, and after a lot more nonsense of that kind they were back again in their places. v ~ “Bide couples forward.” ~ The 'others then went through the same evolutions. ' ; “Ladies in the center; join hands and c¢ircle to the left.” o . “Domp te dompety domp de dom; domety domp de dom.”" : . “Allamand left.” SR ‘

. “Dadle de dooleumdo de de; dinlle du de dum tedum.” “All promenade.” “Domp de domety domp de domp; domety domp de dome.” ; : I never saw such utter [rivolity in my life. What had all that to do with libel law? Nothing as far as I could gee. b Then the band struck up a waltz, and, as I stood there with my big book, folks went whirling round past me and the music floated. out into the darkness. This sort of thing went on for some time, while I watched thecabin door to see if there were any signs of General Alger and the chairman. Finally there - appeared at the door Mr. C. F.

Tl carry the Encyclopedia. You'll have to be lively, for they were pretty close to taking up the collection when I left.” : -We rushed through the crowd. The forward cabin was packed. The chairman was on his feet and was saying: “I have not words with which to adequately express my feelings for your kindness in tendering me the vote of thanks, which I receive with unalloyed pleasure. Ihope and am sure that you have had a pleasant meeting. The speeches you have listened to have been both instructing and amusing. There has becn an absence of prosy orations whick is gratifying to all of us, and any little that I have been able to do to bring about such a result more than repays me for whatever trouble I have taken. This meeting is now adjourned.” : ar * I went back to the rear cabin and slammed the Révised Statutes of Ontario down on a chair. : That speech on the libel law was forever lost to a discriminating public. —Luke Sharp, tn Detroit Free Press.

A SAGACIOUS SETTER. The Self-Imposed Dutles of a Remarkable 4 Maryland Dog. . : Benedict, Charles County, Md., boasts of the most sagacious setter dog in the State. The dog, Bob, is a large white-and-livered-colored setter, about nine years old. He is actually the property of Captain Jones, late of the Weems Line of stéamers, but nominally he belongs to any and all residents of Benedict. Bob has free access to any of the residences or stores at all times. Mothers utilize him as nurse for their infants, and Bob seems to delight in taking care of the little ones. He will lie down .on make a pillow of himself for the comfort of any child, and is careful not to move for fear of waking a sleeping infant. He knows who has authority to remove a child, and will not' countenance the approach of any others when-a child is left to his care. , .

Two steamers stop at the town wharf, but Bob only goes to meet one of them. ‘He seems to keep a mental record of the two nights during the week on which his steameris due, and is always on hand to meet her, and before the gang-plank is put out, Bob goes aboard. ‘His first self-assumed duty is goover the steamer and inspect each of the deck-hands, and if a strange one is found hespends considerable time near him and carefully sizes him up. After that he never forgets him. He next visits the engine-rooms, pays his respects to each of the officers, goes to the steward and is fed. If the officers go to meals or ashore, Bob takes up his post at the gangway, and here his most acute perception is brought into play. Passengers or others having business aboard are greeted with a.-wag of the tail and other demonstrations of satisfaction, but idlers are given clearly to understand that the shore would be the safest place for them. The steamer usually remains at the Benedict wharf all night, though at times she goes up the river after freight, returning the same night. While even the passengers are seldom advised of the designs of. the officers as to the steamer, Bob seems to have an intuition as to when she is going, and if it is the intention to return to Benedict, he will remain aboard; if not, he goes ashore. Not long since Bob started ashore carrying a choice bone. Before he reached land he saw several hungrylooking curs waiting for him. Bob halted for a moment to commune with himself. He then stepped overboard, on reaching a place that suited him, dropping the bone, which sank in about three feet of water. Bob went ashore, and an' hour later, when the coast was clear, swam to the spot, and at the first dive came up with the bone. ‘Whenever children are playing near the water, Bob will be found with his weather-eye open, in case there should be an accident. Old age is beginning to tell on the noble dog, though he still attends to his duties, and will go to the field with anyone he knows who goes shooting. He was a good field dog in his day. When he dies, he will be mourned by both young and old residents and visitors of Benedict.—Baltimore Sun. 2

Herc he remained forty days among .the people. Aaron and Hur were appointed leaders. : - : HerLrs OVER HARD PrLACES—THE GOLDEN Cavr. The people became weary of waiting for their absent leader. They had also only an invisible God. ' Therefore they entreated _Aaron to make them an image, so 'ﬂ;&t they ‘mieght have a visible object of worslip, like their former neighbors, and might have the same wild revelries. Aaron collected their golden ear-rings and made a golden calf, or young ox, as an image of Jehovah, not as another god. Around thisimage they sang and danced and feasted and drank, 15. And Moses turned: after God had told him what was going on in the valley. Tables: tablets. 17. And Joshua: the son of Nun, who after-: wards succeeded Moses. ,He was part way up the mount (24:13). 18. Them that sing: the boistrous songs of revelry. 19.

Brake them: an emblem of the broken law, a symbol of what the people had done, breaking ‘their solemn covenant with God. 20. Strewed it upon the water: of the brook Moses brought from the mount, and from which they drank (Ex. 17:6; Deut. 9:21)." Meade. .. drink of it: for they had nothing else tc drink. 25.

Gate of the camp: which had p’robabiy been fortified after the attack of the Amalekites (Ex. 17:8-13). There was probably an open space there. The sons of Levis Moses’ own tribe. Many others probably returned to their tents; but the worst ones, those who were furbulent and disobedient, ‘remained, and of thesc three thousand wera slain before the riot was quelled. LEessoN. Facrs—When God called Moses ‘up into the mountrin to receive the Ten Commandments, he remained there forty days. In the meantime ‘the people grew restless, and began to murmur because their. leader sta‘,ied away so long. They then said to Aarc# that they-knew not what bad become of Moses, and asked him to make them a golden calf which they could worship. This Aaron did, and when Moses came down from the mountain, the people were dancing around the calf which Aaron had made. This so angered the great leader that he¢ threw the tables ‘of the law down, and they were broken to rieces. He then burnt the calf, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the people drink it. He then asked Aaron how this thing'had come about, and he told him the sad story. Then Moses called for all who were on the Lord’s side to come unto him, and the Levites came over on to his side.

ComMENTS—What good purpose can this lesson serve for us? It can act as a warning te: us of the danger in which we ail stand. A gcod golden text would be: ¢ Let him that thinketh he standgth take heed lest he fall.” Remember that the people who sinned so gricvously were the very people who a few days before this had promised to obey all the commandments of God. And yet in six weeks we find them dancing around an idol made by their own hands. Nor is this the only instance in the Bible in which great professions were followed by miserable practice. Peter himself once said: *Though all men should deny Thee, yet will I not deny Thee.” And then in a very few hours he took his oath that he had never seen Jesus. All the disciples professed to be willing to follow the Master to prison and to death, and yet they all forsook Him and fled. © This only shows that without the help of God we ¢an not keep His commandments. Satan is stronger than we are, and he knows well how to lead us into sin. The possibilities of sin that are in each of our hearts are really boundless. Because to-day we are walking a straight life, is no reason that we shall do so a month from now. Had the Israelites asked the help of God before they went ahead and made that idol, they would never have fallen into that sin. But they went ahead on their own responsibility, and s 0 were easily ensnared. ‘lt is notin man that walketh to direct his steps,” and ‘“he that trusteth in his own heart is a fool.” The otly way for any one to stand is to ask God daily for that strength which He alone can give.—Rev.

THE WRITING OF WRITERS, yA: S b - WasHINGTUY Wrote a firm, dignified, man1y hand; Cromwell a large, bold and steady hand; Henry VIIL a strong and determined hand, while that of Charles 11. was a running scrawl. S L ~_Berore Qucen Elizabeth ascended the throne her handwriting was clear, regular and beautiful. A melancholy change took place after she became Queen. The letters grew thin and spiteful, the lines irregular—- & cross old maid’s copy of her former hand. Mary Queen of Scots wrote a graceful, femmine hand, indicating ‘sweetness and nobility. Queen Victoria’s signature is .well formed, each letfer being carefully written. SoMmEe handwritings are unpardonably bad. Among these may be mentioned: that of J. Fennimore Cooper. It looks as if written with a stick instead of a pen; that of Reverdy Johnson, which was an illegible, illformed scratch; that of Horace Greeley, which was absolutely unreadable. James Hogg, the Ettrick shepherd, wrote like one more familiar with the shears than with the pen; Charles Dickens wrote a very poor hand.

Mgs. NorToN wrote a beautitul and highly characteristic hand; Charlotte Bronte's writing, though small, was cxtremely neat ard legible; Mrs. Hemans wrote a graceful, running hand; Mrs. E. Lynn Lynton writes the best hind of any living female writer. Patti writes afine, legible and very attractive hand, while that of Augusta J. Evans is bold, strohg and masculine; the Southern novelist, Christian' Reid, writés ' a hand which blends feminine grace and manly strength. | - : e i Pog wrote an exceedingly beautiful hand, and was pronounced -‘‘the firstof geniuses who had written legibly.” N. P. Willis wrote a.very dashing hand; Leigh Hunt a graceful one; Gray, Tom Moore and Buchanan Read a pleasing running hand. Keat's handwriting was bold but rather clerky, not the hand we might expect from the author of the “Eve of St. Agnes.” Bir Walter Scott wrote a hand that will disappoint all admirers of his works',»rit is entirely devoid of character, being formed in his early ma.uhood(/by copying law papers. Paul H. Hayne wrgte a very dainty hand, with many quaint and curious little flourishes. '

CHESTERFIELD, who wrote a most graceful hand, declared that ‘“‘every man who has the use of his éyes and his right hadd can write whatever hand he pleased.” This is going a little too far. If Byron, wha had ‘“the use of his eyes and his right hand,” could have written ‘‘whatever hand he pleased,” is it natural to suppose that he would have written his wretched school-boy scrawl? or would Macaulay have written his sprawling hand? or would Napoleon I have written the worst hand on record?— s 0 bad that his letters to Josephine from Germany were sometimes mistaken for maps of the seat of war. In marked contrast were the signatures ofsthe three Napoleons. The first wrete a mere scrawl; no letters formed, no wards completely written out; the second wrote a large, fair, bandsome hand; while the third wrote a neat, running, easy and legible hand. .
