emptied committee rooms now as be

glorious speaking; well prepared, care
fully elaborated, confessedly essayish,
but spoken with perfect art and con
summate management, the grand con
versation of a man of the world con
fiding his learning and his recollections
and his logic to a party of gentlemen
and just raising his voice enough to be
heard through the room.
As the house filled he got prouder
and more oratorical, and then he pour
ed out his speech with rapidity. In
creasing aftor every sentence, till it
became a torrent of the richest words,
carrying his hearers with him into en
thusiasm and yet not leaving them
time to cheer. The great orator was
trembling when he sat down. The ex

and he had scarcely the self possession
to acknowledge the eager praises which
were offered by the ministers and oth

In some of tbe Hungarian forests

numbers, preparatory to migrating in
search of food or for change of con

means of some glutinous matter and
form a 'huge serpent-like mass, often
reaching a length of between forty and
fifty feet and several Inches in thick
ness. , A tbe sciara is only on an av
erage' about three thirty-seconds of an
inch in length, with no appreciable
breadth whatever, the number required
to compose a continuous line of the
size above mentioned is almost incal

slow, and upon meeting an obstacle,
such as a stick or stone, they will

M. Guerln-Meneville, a celebrated
French naturalist, said that If the rear
portion of this wonderful snakelike
procession be brought Into contact with

apparently noticing that they are 'get
ting no "forrader' on their journey. If
the procession lie 'broken In two.'' tbe
portions will reunite in a short time.

meet one of these trains, will lay some
article of their clothing, such as a belt
or handkerchief, on the grouud In front

makes a way. round the reverse Is be
