George Francis Train talks at the rate of
$50 words a minute and occasionally pauses
for breath These pauses seem to annoy
him, and it is his habit to fill them by put
ting the question before the house and
calling for the Yeas and Nays. His audi
tors always like to make noise, and an
affirmative response follows as a matter of
course, and then the lecturer, having re-
gained his breath, proceeds with his re-
marks. An audience at Rochester on June
6 was betrayed by these tactics into a very
unfortunate expression of opinion. Hehad
been complaining that Christianity con-
signed to perdition such persons as Shake
