Lecture by Walter c. Lyman Before tho
Liberal Club.
That the European estimate OF American oratori-
cal powers is almost truthful no can doubt who
listened to Professor w. G. Lymans "Analyss OF
Expression by Voice and Action" and TO his Illus
traons OF perfect and faulty methods Of delivery at
the Liberal Club last evening" But If the DISCOURSE
which was most instructive, interesting and anus
ing, proved that there are no perfect American
Orators it also proved that none OF those protesting
10 be such are true orators Thus was the European
estimate reflected back to its origlnators.
An audience, said the Professor, Is many.sringed
instrument whose harmonles can only be drawn
forth by master hand whose powers are action
and voice exactly accorded to IDEAS The means OF
obtaining greatest excellence in expression oil ideas
Is the proper use OF
vOCALITY, PAUSE AND ACTION.
The d1fierent qualities OF voice express the degrees
OF mental state. The whisper expresses precaution
mystery, fear He illustrated this by quoting IN the
proper Tone Cal1ban's injunction or stiffness to the
sailors at the cave OF Pr0spero and after In the tone
In which he had heard 1t spoken by actors and
asserted that he Prospero the sailors assuredly
would not have entered.
The Professor illustrated awe under an excited
condition by recitng the speech of Hamlet TO the
shade OF his father. The tone In which tnat should
lie spoken Is subaucd, yet the Professor had heard

Butlerized spoons.

A Tour THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF
FRANoE.-One of the HERALD correspondents
in France has furnished an interesting letter
from Strasbourg, giving an account Of a tour
through Central France. The story embodies
many features Of interest, and will enable the
readers Of the HERALD to form a correct idea
of life among the German soldiers on the
march, as well as campaigning with the
Francs-tireurs From conversation with an
officer in Garibaldis army, the substance of
which is related in another column, it will be
seen that a very unpleasant feeling exists
among the rank and file OF the Garibaldians.
This feeling arises from belief that the
French are jealous of the Italians. Under
such circumstances, and with dissensens exist
ing, it is scarcely to be wondered at that Carl
baldi's army has not accomplished as much as
the friends of the hero of Caprera believed
him capable of achieving. In the South the
desire for peace, if net openly expressed, is
plainly evident. The people of Lyons ardently
desire it, though they dare not speak their
desires. From the tone Of the correspondence
it is not difficult to perceive that the French
people, at least those in Southern France,
have had enough Of war, and would willingly
ACCEPT peace at the price 1t may be had.
