The opinion which we expressed OF this IN
| dividual in our first article upon the Webster
case, has been confirmed by his subsequent
conduct While we could not believe him
guilty of the murder Of Parkman, we regarded
him as worthless and heartless nan. The
New York papers are very indignant at Dis con
| nection with the Parkman exhibitions. .Fie

INFAMOUS OUTRAGE The announcement
that Ephraim Littefeld is about to exhibit a
couple Of wax figures dressed up to represent
DR. par!yman and Professor Wecatef, together
with pan of the Boston Medicat College, is
one of those indecent outrages on the public
for which no common law nor ordinance can
possibly provide. The following remarks
from the Sunday Dispatch are full Of sound
sense and right teeling:/
Oar anxiety for the reputation OF our city,
and the fair fame of its inhabitants was mate
rally calmed when we discovered that the
whole audience consisted OF some dozen or
fifteen dead heads, each and every one of whom,
notwithstanding their long talniaarlty with
scenes of shamelessness, actually seemed NOR
tified at the position i'll which they had so un-
willingly placed themselves, and as fast lis an
opportunity offered some one OF more OF them
eagerly seized it to make themselves scarce,

Yelling harangue was to have closed, he was
left with no one bat the ugly, bluii-looking
Snowman who owns the traps for his audi

The wax representatives of Webster and
parkman both OF whom are clad i'll suits OF
shabby, iIl-htting, second hand Chatham street
looking garments, are without exception the
rocious libe.s on art which has ever come under
our observation. And Lttlefeld is a pure spe-
cimen of the mouey-worshipping hang-dog.
We never recollcct seeing so repusiye and re-
pugnant countenance on human being be-

thousand and we had never laid eyes upon him,

peace and reputation of our city, that similar
attempt Will not again be made to outrage
pubic decency in this locality. Whatever may

them. Be advised in time and you may profit
by this hint.
