and never surpassed. Indeed, wo cannot

elegant, impassioned, and overwhelming
nppeal td tho Roman Seniile,' (luring lh
w hole limo in which Cicero was accustomHl
te mnko its walls tremble with the tliuridor
of his eloquence. Tho nearest imitation
of it wo havo ever seen was contained in
tho reports of a oue-horse femnlo debating
club at ihe Five l'liiitts in New Yolk citv,
in which a fein:.lu'"JO.e" from New Or
leans came down on tho moral reform move
ment. The following speech is highly ti
logized by Waymiie's organ, which calls
his biti-ts 'if eloquence "happy hits in hit,
