Barnum is fluent in speech, though not oge'
Brilliant in expression, or original in ideas. 1t
is hard work to listen to him; and we really
pity our country friends who not only lose
their dimes, but are bored to death with his
twaddle. lie has lectared many times before.
When be had Joice Heth he lectared on colo-;
the woolly horse gave him an opportunity TO
indulge in few remarks about natural history,
which would have astonished Cuvier and Buf-
fon. When plotting Jenny Lind through the
country be became profoundly in love with
music; and now that temperance happens
to be a leading hobbyhorse Barnum must
get up and ride az far and as fast
as possible Barnum is one Of that sort Of lee
tur.rs who vigorously attack any subject, whe-
tber they know any thing of it or not.
His letter, given above, is curious affair,
end be should incorporate it into the next book
that he writes Every one will agree with him
il say ing that shilling is as much as ought to
be charged to hear him lecture That is high
enough, in all conscience On the Sabbath this
consistent Christian expects to realize twenty
five dollars by his temperance lecture
1t seems that Barnnm wants this money to
"help him out of bis Crystal Palace embarrass-

Greeley into prison, in Paris, where it is much
easier to get Tito difficulty than to get out Of IT,
Greeley has not got clear Of the French courts
yet. By the law OF France, when a citizen
sues foreigner for debt the plaiatiif may re-
fuse all bail, or may demand that the whole
sum Claimed shall be deposited in court, to await
the decision Of the Judge Greeley has proba-
bly, escaped from confinement by inducing some
of his friends in Paris to deposit twelve thou
sand francs as security for him, and he will even
tually have to pay that sum B,rnum got his
friend Greeley into this difficulty sent
him to Clichy, and Barnum ought to pay the
bills. We do not see why the French coucts
do not take hold Of Belmont, who was one Of
the original projectors Of the Crystal Palace,
and who made great deal of money by it. Az
any rate it is to be hoped that Barnum will
make enough by his lectures to extrica.e his
friend Greeley from the dilemma in which ne is
now placed.
