We have before us a file of the Congressional Globe, the official record of the debates in both Houses, extending from December 12 to January 15. During this period the Oregon question was called up nearly every day, and we propose to give some specimens, verbatim et literatim, of the spirit in which it has been discussed.
"But you are an American, aren't you?" she persisted almost impudently, driven on by her eagerness to learn all she possibly could about him. "I was born in Cincinnati," he replied hesitantly. She could not help observing how diplomatically he had parried both her questions. Mentally she recorded his exact words with the idea in her mind of repeating what he had said verbatim to her chief.
"I asked her and she said it was none of my business." "Quite right," approved Mr. Pierce curtly. "Tell the desk to run the interview verbatim, under a separate head. Will the nurse die?" Mr. Pierce snorted contemptuously. "Die! She's hardly hurt." "Dislocated shoulder, two ribs broken, and scalp wounds. She'll get well," said the reporter.
I think I can repeat the poetry verbatim et literatim, and will do so, gentle reader, if you don't laugh at me. I'm married now, and only write from memory, and never in my life have I read it in book or paper, and only in that letter
"This is all gibberish to me," she said. "Gibberish!" gasped James. "I am quoting verbatim from one of the best authorities on golf." Miss Forrester swung her tennis racket irritably. "Golf," she said, "bores me pallid. I think it is the silliest game ever invented!" The trouble about telling a story is that words are so feeble a means of depicting the supreme moments of life.
Each taking an arm, they marched me to my room. This took not more than half a minute, but the time was not so short as to prevent my delivering myself of one more thumb-nail characterization of the doctor. My inability to recall that delineation, verbatim, entails no loss on literature. But one remark made as the doctor seized hold of me was apt, though not impromptu.
Dawson led me to the private office at the Central Police Station, which was his temporary headquarters, and sent for the dossier of the locked up draughtsman. "I have here full particulars of him," said he, "and a verbatim note of my examination."
Then, when the Pope walked up to the altar-stone, he found that it had been miraculously consecrated, crosses being marked upon it in oil still wet. Now, the charter attributed to Pepin contains many passages copied verbatim from one preserved at Rodez, and signed by Pippinus, or Pepin I., King of Aquitaine.
Kent had told them, one and all, that he wouldn't ride twenty-five miles to shake hands with the Deity Himself which, however, is not a verbatim report of his statement. The prospective President had not done anything so big, he said, that a man should want to break his neck getting to town just to watch him go by.
Reported verbatim his addresses read as though they had been composed and written with the utmost care, so precise and correct was the language and so consecutive the matter. Though few could hope to do so well as he, I have always thought that in addressing shareholders, railway chairmen might trust less to formally prepared speeches and more to their powers of extemporaneous exposition.
