a spluttering manner. pair OF Kid gloves in his
large, rough hands gave him the appearance of
one who was imperfectly acquainted with their

Mr.. Convey was the Darwinian link between
this scandal aud Wendell Phillips, one OF the great
school OF retormers. With Phillips he had run .Or
Attorney General OF Massachusetts, the former
being at the time on the nigh road to Governor.
Conveys voice was hoarse, mis- words hudded, his
manner that OF one anxious to contribute to the
importance OF the cause. He was an anodyue
ana made the ears ache besides. What he remem.
bered and what he thought were parts of the
same vast tumble OF jaw.
Mr.. Cowley went on and for good while bored
the circumamblent air. Between his dun eye and
his dull loquacity he kept poor Beach. who cross

U. what was the regulation OF the factories in
Lowell? A. There was regulation that the
workers IN the factories should be IN their board
ing houses at nigh, at nine O'Clock; This was a
employment Il violation OF the regulation was re-

applying 10 females and not to males, was
matter OF criticism in the conversation | have

must have occupied fifteen minutes or more IN
making the revelation; The subject OF the revela-

to say that any idea or thought was expressed.
z. Are you willing to say that those well timed,
f1Owery words did not communicate any tnouchtS
A. do not mean TO say that 1t was a mere va.
Guilty OF thought, but there was no body to the
Thought expressed; when Tilton concluded his
lecture he read the addenda OF mis- notes. and SAID
that II this were published In the form OF an
