by friends especially in OMstwisc ves-'

. the Tjirolinas oripi!j;it'l in New Yorlc.
and was approved by their lordships in
London provided at least one-tenth of
the gross receipts were paid over to the
duke of York. Of course tin plan
failed. lie fore there could he any
cross receipts somebody had to pay for
post riders to travel those Ion" road-
from Nova Seotia to Carolina of which

other schemes. Andrew Hamilton of
Kast Jersey had occasion t f'o to
London in eonsjiience of the Andres

and while he w.is in London a patent
for an American 'post ollice was issued
to Thomas Neale. -Mid Andrew Hamil-

man and he was successful. H

mood upon which he confidently de-

comed cordially by the gentlemen there

committee ami distinguished citizens
who h:ul Ih'cu specially invited to

lluthed with his eiithusi:us:n and tlie ex-
hilarating effect of his eloquent ges-
tures the audience settled themselves
with an air of expectancy for the chief
event of the evening their future city
attorney's address.
There was a brief interval .ween
the acts during which the or-hestra
played choice selection from "i'a-
tience"' and Martli:i aim otner well
known light operas interspersed with
popular -sentimental and patriotic ans.
the whole forming a pot-pourri adapted -
a
to the various tastes of the audience.
A hum of voices filled the house. The
-featlcmen iu plain view on tho stage
conversed together decorously or sat in
grave dignified silence gazing up at the
glittering lights or down at their res-
pective and highly polished IkkOs as if
they fully appreciated theirconspicuous
position and wished to set the public
an example of behavior worthy of imi-
tation: while North lcr.ning b?.-k
languidly in his deep arm chair quite
hidden from general -view by the portly
figure of the chainnan. conversed in a
tantalizing way with his friend Warner
who had taken advantage of the tem-
porary lull in the proceedings to urge
upon North with stern vehemence the
necessity of dropping all levity ami ris-
ing to tin occasion. All f which ap-
parently had no effect upon North: and
Warner was in despair.

seen and felt in all jarts ..f the house.
North glided neatly and einvtively in- i
to the elaborate ttn-ne tliat Had ihvh
announced f-r him.
It has been sometimes advanced as .
an axiom in oratory founded on the ere-
perience of many famous public .peak-
crs. that there can be no signal sucee-vs
promised to any orator who docs not
approach his audience with a feeling of
-litlitlence amounting even t- stage-
fright.
('ranting this to be correct.
North entered upon his address. nur.
ing all the time he was speaking with
such ease and fluent' he was watching
the audience with a keenness
that '
woubl have detected the slightest evi-
dence t.f an unfavorable it'tpression:
ami it was no doubt due in part to this
intense interest ami concentration of his
own thought upon the audience that he
held them in such close .sympathy and
attention. The very novelty of his sit-i
T . -..rt&---...l M A1 -. m - d b 1 A
uaiion uisicau oi uHrarra- i.uji.
seemed to afford him a peculiar inspira-
tion. and as by degrees he gained con
fidence from the hearty applause that
he received he gave himself up to tha
Influences and illusions of the moment
and threw himself heart and .soul intc
what he was saying.
So completely was he swept along by
the force of his own imagination that
he quite forgot he was not the man
whom everyone in that large audience
firmly lelieved him to be: and instead
of a comedy played of necessity for his
own convenience the whole affair be-
came to him. for the time an important
rnd dignified reality. He grew earnestly
interested in his theme ami after
r-ketehing with vivid oratory all the pos-
ihilities that lay in tf-c future whet
the commercial ;?':d mrn::faeti:ripr in-
terests now in tlndr infai. y. the edu-
cational facilities the natural advan-
tage of X were fully developed he
dosed with a strong ami eloquent plea
for jurt !!. liberty anil morality with-
out whi"h no endering prosperity could
bo attain--''.
The assembly were held in a slate of
almost breathless attention from the
lH'ginning to the close of the address;
I eloquent climax the speaker bowed his
farewell t the audience they broke
forth into a rtorm of anplauv that
j rained down from the galleries ami
' swept in tempestuous waves over the
house.
It was unquestionably the most as-
tounding sn-eess that Allan North bad
ever achieved: and when it was all over
his astonishment fairlv balanced his re-
lief. As vim as he could cs-ape from tho
admiring populace who showered iiin-
pliments ami etmgratulatior.s upon him
antl insist eil o:i shaking hands with him
after the impulsive custom of the aver-
age Amcri-'an. he was carried off to his

what diligent c'T-irt am! eili daring
