NR. YuLERs, Lecturer, delivered Z" The
Funny People We Meet" in the Court
House, on Saturday evening, TO an appreci-
atiye audience. Those who heard it are
profuse in their praise of his ability to de-
liver low comedy. The dOlorous looking
faces, the happy expressions of counte-
nsuce, and the noduistionS of voice in i'm
itatlnn of human and animal kind, were hui
morous and pathetic by turns to such de-
gree that his audience was continually kept
on the stretch for fresh exhibitions of his
Jaler: in making faces, striking attitude,
and il intonating his voice ike all creation
that talks, laughs or sings. But be did not
have the Phonogrsph. However, the loss
was in a mea sure made up by himself. He

Miss GERTRUDE KELLOGG
will keep Up the course, by lecturing on
Friday evening, February 2s, 1879. Her
furte is said to be in dramatic reading. As
Villers succeeds in delinesting the common
everyday characters, that are to be met
with in every town, and township, Miss hel-
logg succeeds in delineating grade Of ex-
preston that is more pretentious in its aims,
and grander in its impression. Quick
powers of observation have such people as
villers and Miss Kellogg, to see the low
comedy, and grand histrionic act in every
day life; but such is life. OF the many
who pass through life, few see its humor,
its folly, and its grandeur. The lecture of
Miss kellogg will be succeeded by one de-
livcred by
THEODORE TILToS,
on Friday evening, March IA, 1879. Of him
it may be said, as of the others, that nature
has been lavish in bestowing tie rich gifts
OF quick and powerful observation, incisive
discrimination, and an earnest desire to
look into the "why and wherefore" of
things, which desire led him to look for the
PROBLEM OF LIFE, which is the
SUBJECT
of his lecture, for the evening mentioned
above. The pbilosophic inclination led him
70 bow at the shrine of Victoria Woodruff,
where he drank SO deeply of the unwhole-
some doctrine, that his lectures and news
paper articles became impre gnated with il.
His ability 10 lecture or deliver a speech,
pleasantly, and forcibly, is subject of ad-
miratior for ell who have listened TO him.
but his poor Judgment, that permitted him
TO accuse his wife of an indulgence in a
search for the PROBLEM OF LIFE, which has
had such charms for him, is greatly to be
deplored in one SO gifted, and then how
coutemptible for man to abuse woman -
even if his charge against bis wife were
true-for walking in ways that were familiar
to him. Learned, gifted, powerful in polite
aud pleasing speech, but weak and defec-
tive in consistency and judgment-so weak
and inconsistent that ii is no cause for re-
marx that woman's face fairly flashes the
expression of indignation when his name is
mentioned. If you can overcome the un'
favorable impression that his inconsistency,
poor judgment, and abuse OF Mrs. Tilton
awakens, 60 and hear him, for his delivery
Of speech is seldom equaled in these parts.
