have attended Mr.. Trains lectures.
We presume too, that he could show
some good reason for giving away
bricks to the no,ablcs who visit our
town. This unique affair would seem
to be u criticism, aud il always on silver
and gold many q person besides Train
would welcome q criticism sharper than
that brick bears.
THE TRAIN DEPARTEp.-George Fran
els Train gave his farewell lecture at
Piper's Opera House last evening to a
small audience. Notwithstanding his
feroeious advertised promises to ami
hilate the Bank Of California, his "part-
ing kick" at that institution was like
that of a sheep paving at a bunch of
clover he had been feeding on. George
has subsidized, and the Bank still
lives. He is a "great cry and
little wool" His lecture last evening
was infinitely amusing, and his Ethio.
plan delineation ut the close excellent.
George is a genius, and don't care q
cuss what the newspapers say about
him. He lectures for money. He said
last night-"I like myself better than
anybody else, and can run my W
machine" He reminds US Of the wicked
| old chorus which winds up with-"1f
you want to get rich, you son Of a-guE,
lust paddle your own canoe" George
left for the land of Brigham at noon
to-day.
