A Lecture ALm0st-What the Scant eta felo
TaiIoD Candles Did.--A few days since, a
strong minded woman calling herself Miss Chap
man, posted some bills overin Bridgeport, across
the two drinks and threatened to deliver a
lecture on the subject of the "Human Body
The inquiry of "who is Miss Chapman pre-
vailed without any. satisfactory response. but
still there was an anxiety on the part of a few
to hear the lecture. a prominent member of
the Methodist church was applied to and per-
mission asked to occupy the basement for zone
night only" The permission was granted and
Miss Chapman, the prominent member and a
eolored individual, set themselves about prepar-
ing the room for the great occasion. or course
time sped on and brought the momcntous
evening around. The prominent member, Miss
Chapman and the cOlored individual were there,
but no candles had yet been procured. The
daFSey was dispatched to u corner grocery for
this purpose. Now, as to what occurred during
the darkey's absence, our informant is oblivious;
whether the prominent member ''smelt q mice
or not he is silent but certain it is, he looked
sort OF Hurried when the darkey returned with
the Intelligence that tallow candles were not to
o. found. This intelligence seemed to gladden.

The remark 81 know where to get candles" he
hurried of, leaving Miss Chapman and her dark
companion in darkness. The prominent mem.
Der never returned and the consequence was
that the whole town remained in darkness-on
the subject of the Human Body" The grin
which OTerspread the good natured darkey's
eountenanee when interrogated about the matter
and tie rOughish twinkle of his eye, throws
little or no light on the subject. Miss Chap.
man Is supposed to have departed clandestinely
her since.
