Having for six years witnessed the value of his services as a legislator in the sen ate of the United States, I share with you the regret that this country is uo longer to enjoy thuee services. Institutions, Not Men. My fellow citizens, it is true, as your mayor has said, happily true, that we not infrequently and with eatie lift ourselves above all tho con tentions of party strife and stand In the clear, inspiring and stimulating sunshine as American patriots. Applause. Tha Rule or tha Majority. Let us pursue our lines of division. It Is characteristic of a free people. It is essential to that mental agitation and unrest out of which the highest and best is evolved; but let us never forget that the fundamental thought of our government is the rule of the majority, lawfully expressed at pure and clean elections, and that when thus expressed the laws enacted by those chosen to make our laws, support of the executive officers chosen are not less of the minority than of the majority. We aro this year a most favored and happy people. Drought has blasted the crops of tho many nations of the world. Most of the people of Europe are short of food, and God has this year, mercifully to us, mercifully to thorn, made our storehouses to burst with plenty. We have a great surplus of breadstuffs and there is not a bushel of wheat, corn, rye or oats that will not find a ready market this year. Happy are we in this great prosperity; happy that again out of our abundance the lark of other peoples may be supplied. Let us be care ful that our beads are not turned by too much prosperity. It has been out of hardness, out of struggles, out of self denial, out of that thrift and economy which was an incident of your soil that the best things in New England have come, and, while thankful to God for a season that diffuses its blessings as this sweet sunxhine is diffused into all our homes, lot us remember that it la not, after all, riches that exult the na tion. It is pure, clean, high, intellectual, moral and godfearing citizenship that ia our glory and security as a nation. Applause.

They Discount Parrots snd Are a Heap More Fun, Crow make very amusing pots for any one who can put up with tlipir innate spirit of deviltry, And besides that they can be taught to talk more distinctly than most parrots. It is a coinmou idea among the country people that they will not talk unless their tongues are cut at a certain tender age. Be thut as it niay, I have heard crows talk excellently that never had their tongues cut, and some whose tongues are cut never will talk at all. I always take my chances without cutting, and out of nearly a docen that I have owned only two proved devoid of bump of language. To he sure of having a good, affection ate crow, take him from the neat as soon after hatching as you can find him. If It is the first of the brood hatched, all the better. How are you to tell that ? Why, if you find one baby crow and four eggs in the nest, does not that settle the ques tion beyond dispute? Name him aa soon aa you get home. It is a good plan to have a family consultation on this sub ject, for a rechristening is fatal to the proper education of your callow charge. Always call him by name whenever you feed him. He will learn his name be fore he knows what feathers are, and re spond to it whenever he hears it uttered. Feed, until half fledged, on meal and water regular "chicken dough" and if any "chicken statenesses" come on con sult the "chicken doctor." In other words, the young crow must be raised on about the same diet as a young chicken. Feed plenty and feed often. A crow's neat is the best thing thing to keep him in during hjs infantile days. If you haven't one make a substitute. As he grows in strength and ia able to travel about a little he needs more variety in his food, but be careful he does not swal low anything that is. very salt. Dump a handful of gravel down his mouth occa sionally, and give him minnows and frogs once in a while. Swallowing his first live frog seems to give a young crow a most agreeable new sensation. Do not be in any hurry about making him bathe. He will wash himself whenever it is nec essary, and if taken and plunged into cold water while the "pin feathers arc full of blood, it may cause him to literally "catch his death of cold." As soon as he is well on the wing his language les sons should begin. Shut him up in a darkened room when well fed, and begin by whispering the word or phrase you w ish him to learn. If he seems to be listening repeat it a little louder, and con tinue until he either grows restless or goes to sleep. It will be but a few minutes. Repeat the same lesson and nothing else every time you visit him or pass within hearing for a week or 10 days, and if your crow doesn't talk in that time he probably never will. Generally they will begin to practice to themselves the first or second day of. their imprisonment, but once a word or phrase is learned others will quickly follow. If really tal ented, you can make your crow appear to answer a question. For instance, call his name gently and add "what," in a loud, emphatic tone. Soon, when his name is called, he will respond "what with just the same emphasis and )infiec tion that he has heard you give. Then, again, if you say "It's dinner time" whenever you feed him, some day he will walk into the house hungry and gravely announce, "It's dinner time." As he grows in years and knowledge your crow will develop a variety of thiev ing and amusing tricks, too numerous -to mention. He will cultivate the most friendly acquaintance with some people and show unaccountable animosity to ward others. He will attend you part way whenever you leave home, and if your hours of return are regular, will probably meet you at the same spot and welcome you exuberantly. Every time he fails to do so look for him at once, he will either be in some utterly entrancing bit of mischief or else dead. Cheering Thackeray. Mrs. Ritchie, Thackeray's daughter, who has been giviug in Maemillan'a Magazine some interesting recollections of literary life, says that she has a dim but most delightful remembrance of a party at the house of Dickens, when his children and she herself were very little. She recalls her admiration of the white satin shoes and long white sashes worn by the Dickens girls, and the fact that her own sash was a bright plaid of red and blue, a combination which she "could not bear. " The evening passed, happily, radiantly, and at its close came an inci dent whioh brings tears to the eyes of those who love and reverence the satiri cal but always warm hearted novelist. Only this do I remember very clearly, that we had danced and supped, and danced again, and that we were all stand ing in a hull lighted and hung with bunches of Christmas green, and as I have said, everything seemed altogether magnificent and important, more magni ficent and important every minute, for aa the evening went on, more and mora people kept arriving. The hall was crowded, and the broad staircase was lined with little boys thousands of little boys, whose heads, arms, and legs were waving about to gether. They were making a great noise, and talking and shouting, and the eldest son of the house seemed to be marshall ing them. Presently, their noise became a cheer, and then another, and we looked up, and saw that our own father had come to fetch us, and that his white head was there above the others. Then came a third final, ringing cheer, and some one went up to him it was Mr. Dickens lUmself and laughed, and said, quiokly, "That is for you I " ' My father, surprised, pleased, touched, settled his spectacles, and nodded gravely to the boys.
