HORTON 103—ABE LEVY SELLS FUR AND SEAL SKIN CAPS. A small audience greeted the speakers on the oratorical contest for Friday evening. Harry Riggs used as president, and performed the duties admirably. The first speaker, Mr. C. L. Smith, delivered a well written oration, but his delivery was somewhat monotonous. F. A. Marshall, the next speaker, delivered a beautiful oration, but his delivery was not up to his usual standard. Mr. R. S. Horton was the next speaker. His oration was well written, and was especially adapted to his style of speaking. By many it was regarded as the best of the evening. T. F. Doran was the fourth speaker. His oration was good, but was too long for the occasion. Cyrus Crause sustained his reputation as an orator. W. T. Reed, the last speaker, delivered a good oration in a facile manner. He wandered somewhat from his subject. The music in the orchestra and the solo by Mr. deks were highly appreciated by the audience. The pen is the only scepter which never broken. The only real master is he who controls the thoughts of men. The maker of words is master of the thinker who only uses them in this domain he has no rival. He stands at the fountain-head of thought, science, civilization. He is controller of all minds; to him all talk, write, or paint, payless and involuntary tribute. In his sense, Noah Webster is the all-mapping, all controlling mind of this universe. He grew up with his country, and largely by his spelling-book and dictionary, he molded the intellectual character of her people. Not a man has sprung from her soil, on whom he has not laid his all-turning hand. His principles of language have tinged every sentence and is now or ever will be uttered by an American tongue. His genius was presided over the languagge of the whole nation. It is universal, omnipotent, omnipresent. No man can breathe the air of the continent and escape it. The scepter which the great lexicographer wields so uniquely, was most worthily won. It was not inherited, it was achieved, coast a life struggle for an honest, love, unfaltering heart—a clear, strong intellect. No propious accident favored his progress. The victory was won after a steady trial of forty years." The Real Ruler of Men. Advice to Young Men. To Postalthwaite:—Stand in with cousin Barlow.

Bowers last Wednesday morning was one of the most scholarly and eloquent lectures ever delivered in chapel. He started out by saying that he would attempt to instruct the audience, not merely please them "Mediocrity and perseverance are better than genius." He laid down several rules for obtaining "intellectual success." First, find out what you are best fitted to do, for "it is better to know everything about something than something about everything." Second, a courageous, determined, heroic effort is necessary to succeed. Third, study "principals not rules." It is not so much what you study as what you master. We should not be mere creatures of circumstances, but masters of them. He closed by urging young men not to be discouraged because they are poor. All the capital they need is "capital of the output." "Good sense, good health and good character are the essentials of success." Should Rev. Bowers come here again we can assure him a crowded house. --of all kinds always on hand.
