An audience Of about two hundred and atty.
that being an old and apparently deaf lady,
gathered at Odd-Fellows hall last evening
to hear Colonel W. Q. Carmen lecture on
" Blackmallers; who and what they are"
TIE lecturer claims to have been an agent OF
the secret service and TO have served In the
war. He Il possessed Of a 1ne, manly APP
pearancc, aud such portions Of bis lecture as
were ebiempore were given with vim and an
imatlon. The lecture-if II can properly be
termed ono-consisted OF the reading Of pev-
eral rhymes, rough In vorslhcatlon, but dis
playing some humor, which was occasionally
appreciated. They attacked, with sarcasm
and bitterness, heprivate character Of many
public men, Congressman principally, and
ensnared Into traps, such AZ only the strictly
ylrtuous escape, Some OF the hits they
contained created merriment and the per-
sons struck at were generally recognized, as
the rhymes gave some clue to their Identity.
While referring TO an extract from q
Western paper accusing the lecturer Of black
mailing and other outrageous conduct, Car
men, In denying tho charges, was interrupted
by gentleman, who denounced one Of his
statements a. ialsehood. Tue lecturer en-.
teredlnto an explanation Of his meaning and
modified the statement he had previously made.
After the conclusion OF the lecture, Carmen
was denounced by two or three persons In
very hard language, and row being ex-
pected, several Of the audience waited about
the door. Carmen made his appearance on
the stceet, and proceeded on hls way undls-
turbed.
Taken all In all, the lecture can only be
considered as q successful advertising dodge
In the interest Of the lecturers rhymes.
