You have heard perhaps how much
character and expression a telegraph op-
orator can put into his touch. Why,
there were dozens of different operators
communicating with our office, and
could tell at the instant, without ever
making a mistake, who it was signally.
You could tell if a man was nervous
from his telegraphing just as well as you
could from his hand writing. The cal
that sent hurtying across the State tc
Council Bluffs must have rung out up
on the ears of the operator like "a shrek.
go. B. Are you therep was what
asked, and almost Instantly came back &
reph in the Affirmative. Then Will
trembling hand, ratified off my mes
sage:-"For the love of God, telegraph
TO our down town office at once.-TeI
them that Tim Lynch is within two feel
of me, and they must send help"
A short pause, as though my message
occasioned some surprise and then came
the response: Gan rightlP which as.
sured me need notrepeat.
''Wab" groWled the deep voice Of
Lynch, ''are you going to send my mes
sageg"
II have sent it, sir. aar

'Yes, and if you will wait fifteen OF
twenty minutes, you'll get an answer"

Mr. EASTTY'S READINGS.--The reading

Mn. EAsrTY's READINGs.--The reading
on Tuesday evening was not attended by
= laree autlience-partly because of the
cold weather, and partly because of the
rather cool welcome which it is the great
habit of Montpelier to give to anybody or
ANYTHING that hasn't been proved quite
satisfactory to the Montpelier mind. Those
who heard Mr. Easily will be very glad to
know that tomorrow CThursday) evening
he will read again in Village Hall, when
we hope a full house will be there. The
more such readings the better for a COM
munitv. They present the best thoughts
uf some of the best authors in a natural
way. and not only give m immediate
pleasure. but help keep ones notions to a
true standard. and to counteract the effect
of the tawtlry elocution that is so frequent.
Mr.. Easttv's best things last night
were Iii, King Robert of Sicily and his
Dnndrearv. To our mind his rendering
Of the trial of Bardcll VS.. Pickwick was
excellent. He made the trial rcal-a court
room scene with exaggerations, but not
the broad caricature which makes a farce
of all. Of all the denominations in this
world the way that 4 courtroom scene is
put on the boards in theaters is the worst !;
and Mr.. Easily deserves the credit of put
ting before the people 4 trial, which, while
it is ludicrous, is so with perfect natural
ness. Those who did not hear him Tues
day evening may be assured they will
have Il pleasurable and profitable evening
if they will so to Vii age Hall at his next
reading

Mr.. CUESEY'S LECTURE eve

Mr.. CHENEY's LECTURE.-Monday eve
inc in Village Hall very small audience
gathered to hear Moses f. Cheney of Bar
mar, deliver his lecture on Music. The
weather was very cold, and folks did not
feel like venturing out upon IN unknown
sea Of talk, and that is the way they missed
hearing very good thing. They could
not have helped keeping comfortably
warm, for a good hearty laugh stirs the
blood. and they could not have kept from
laughing. We did not 90 in till late but
that rs Mr.. Cheney said, did not interfere
with IN understanding Of the discourse
for he had purposely so constructed it that
if ANYBODY could catch him at the beginn
ing of sentence it was all right.
The description of the old-ftshoned
deacons who used to line the hymns, was
such rs to make, us wonder if it did not
contain the whole thing boiled down. Per-
haps Mr. Murray could have enlarged on
the subiect-but 50 could the modern
Moses, for that matter. He said there
were no such men now. they were born
teacons, We're respected and never treated
with aught else than reverence during their
boyhood They were tall and bony, and
au>tcre ana honest men, who could be
made no use Of in the present day. Their
dignity was wonderful in amount, and
never disturbed. No one small boy could
meet such deacon in the road.
The old styles of singing were well illus
trated, and high compliment paid to the
musicians of a hundred years ago. While
we 10 not wish to intimate that Mr.. Che
ncv'> lecture is not, in many respects, open
to adverse criticism, the foundations of 1t
throughout are sound; and is he builds
upon these. there is 4 running comment, III
which he seems to think aloud, that con
tain, in it a deal of real wit and wisdom
Some of his "reminiscences were Of the
very spot where he spokc-when Village
Hall was the old Free Church" and
Sherman Kellogg preached there, ano
Moses f. Cheney was chorister, and had to
sing " Antioch nearly every time, or in
CIR the ,!ispleasure Of the father of the
present governor Of Louisiana.
Many trumpeted lecture of some ftr-of
Light of the platform fails of bringing
anywhere near the amount of enjoymen
that Mr.. Chcney's homemade discourse
gives to an audience. Perhaps the da,
that he said he foresaw, when the wed
dinr feast shall consist Of cold water ant
Graham bread, will bring an elimination
of some of the rather hearty jokes, but af
ter all. the lecture in its entirety, is one @
good thought and full of Yankee humor.
