The New York World dcvotes n column TO the
description Of the audience and OF the lecturer.
The first was by no means scciaran, representa-
tives OF all religious and no religions pew holders
and spectators being mixed IN all parts Of the
crowded honsc. There were $500 persons pres.
ent. The reporter gives description or Father
Hyacinthe:
lie was dressed in n black suit. not OF prlestly
cut or dimensions, and if not fashionable It was
taste, and not conformcd to any OF the rules OF
etiquette which generally overtake speakers and
actors upon that stage. There was nothing OF
the "persuaslon about II, and II was as far the
other way from the absurd extreme OF full dress.
lie stood moment at the tube rs the president
introduced him. lie Is q man OF medium height.
sOidly built, and inclining TO portliness witlha
rugged, fcsliy face, In which the nervous bilious
| temperament predopinates, and which, from its
massive features and stolid expression, when at
rest, gives at the FIRST glance an erroneous i'm
preston OF the man; It is the lnsty organization
Fenclon. There is more OF the Little Corporai,i
In The head than OF Erasmus. It does not charm
you with apparent intellectually. Tie moment
he speaks, a new character comes into his face
Tho voice itself dispes the first impression. 1t is
the voice of kindness; one Of those clear rharp
penetrating voices which hold all the shadL.J and
hafiints, the infectious Of language in solution
avoice warm, gentle ,su0dued, hut wonderfully dia
tiuct and with pleasant sadness lurking in It, II
fs too, the voice OF the scholar thoroughly trained
10 It's worK-no tones wasted; every word RAPIDLY
but wholly spoken, and every sentence turned as
H.
ont any dramatic effort but with q quiet earnest
ness which gives II n fresh charm. As he warms
with his subject, bis Oratnry becomes tribe more
impetuons, bpt by the SIDE Of our headong native
orators IL is hlacill enough.
