with pistols, ances and long whips; and behind
them jolts long string of springess tumorils, to
carry those who fall lame or i'll on the way. The
start is always made in the night, and care is
taken that the conveys shall pass through the
towns or their road after dark. Each man is
dressed in gray kalatan, having brass number

sheepskin bonnet He carries rug strapped

cities, like ST. Petersburg. all the prisoners are
chained with their bands behind their backs. but
their letters are removed outside the city. except
in the case OF men marked dangerous. These

are yoked three to beam of wood which rests
on their shoulders and is fastened to their necks
by iron collars. Nobody may approach the men

whips loudly to warn persons off. and scamper

lauce points. which they lower to the ground at

reward shall be great"
Forty minutes after that he emerged from
restaurant with big basket aud 6sh-pole, bound
up the river. In the basket was chicken,
pickles, cake. fruit. pie, and bottle Of rich
color and he was just lighting twenty cent
cigar when his wife came along.

Mary, hadn't you-?"
No, sir, hadn't. You'd better hurry up

She left him there. He watched her take the
cars for home, and then he retured the 6sh-pole
and crossed the street and said to an acquant-
ance
Tom. I'm suffering with neuralgia and the
excursion is off till next week. Too bad. but we
can never tell what day may bring forth"
There was chicken aud pickles and other good
things on the table at dinner. but he never
smiled Even when his wife wished she was IN

never betrayed the gloom in his heart. 1t was

DANIEL WEBSTER.

Daniel Webster delivered but one address of
the lecture" order. which was given on the nyi-
tation of the historical society, and was, as an
effort. hardly equal to his reputation This was
10 1851 and at that time most OF the ecturng
community like him were New Enganders.
Among these we're Wendell Phillips Dr. Holmes
and ieodure Parker, also Emerson aud William
Ware. The highest fee was $780, this being q
part of Theodore Parkers amusing definition.
Tor once when asked his terms he replied fame. "
BY this he simply meant ''$50and my expenses"
Holmes aud Emerson were both very interesting,
mud the latter owed much of his popularity TO
musical voice. some Of whose tones suunGed like
flute notes He had the sweetest voice ever
heard in public, but it licked compass. Starr
King was the next Boston lecturer. and was im-
mensely popular. 1t was not So much what he
said as the bright and unique muDner IN which
he presented his thoughts HIS career was brief,
being hardly more than seven years Tor though
he lectured during more than double that period

THE HuMORIsTs.

ArtemUs Ward was among the first of this
class and was for time very popular. He pos
sessed vein Of wit which, though diluted with
nonsense, gave him claims to a rank among true
humorists. Such a peculiarly however, must
naturally be brief, and Artemus Ward IN the
course of four years was on the wane. His trip
to London extended his period of success. and
yet at his death there was but little left of his
once rapid prosperity. Mark Twain has also had
his day. II is little more than ten years since
he appeared before the public, and dnring that
time he has enjoyed degree OF success hardly
parAlleed in the history Of literature 1t is now
however gone like dream. aud it will be well
for him if be has laid up enough Of the bountes
oil fortune to place him in an Independent posi-
ton. Josh Billings has been much annoyed to
find himself indicted and tried for murder. Many
people indeed. naturally confound the lecturer
with Jesse Billings. and if the latter be acquitted
he may make enough TO pay all the costs Of the
suit out Of the lecture platform. II this sugges-
ton ever be made practical. the best theme for
such man would be "our lawyers" since this
wouli enable him to get even with that terrible
fellow, Moak.

BAYARD TAYLOR.

Among that class OF early lecturers whose
names are long since dropped from the roll may
be mentioned Bayard Taylor His vast range of
travel gave him a special interest, since the pub
lie was DESTROYS of seeing the wonderful tourist.
AS a lecturer Taylor was dry and embarrassing,
and it was surprising that man of such noble
and imposing appearance should make so feeble
an impression on audience. He was in such
demand, however, that he cleared nearly $4,000
by his engagements.
