anu aCknOWleuSeu the compliment by Il
DOW. There is no appearance of great age
about Mr.. Emerson. He makes the most of
his thin. hair, which is of that shade of
brown that hides the gray. He is quite tall
and very Slight in build STOPPING just the
least bit. He settled back in his chair in
the most expressive way, and the audience
Knew that any further attempt to draw him
out was hopeless. LII said of his sentences
that they touch but do not cohere." Alas,
the lndlssoluble connection between himself
and his chair was only too apparent.
Or. Cornell responded to a call and spoke
for two minutes only his remarks referring
only to Mr.. Taylor's connection with the
Qnakers, particularly those OF Pennsylva-
ma. lie eulogized the sect. saying that he
believed they were thought much of In Bos-
ton. There are few aere of that faith. Oc-
caslonally when a distinguished foreigner
stEays this way there is a small gathering in
Wesleyan hall. DR.. Cornell is very small,
but energetic. His voice rang out above all
who had spoken, and all must have heard
him. Though standing in the second row,
and not responding willingly to forcible
hints to come forward, nothing was seen
but his thin, pale face, bright eyes and spare
gray hair. He received immense applause.

John Boyle O,Reilly, editor of the Pilot,
and a poet of some distinction, who came
only to hear and was given a seat upon the
platform, and in the sad state of mental
9sshadiIte in which public speakers so often
suddenly find themselves, was called upon
to speak, and made an eloquent address of
a few minutes duration, the central thought
of which was that Bayard Taylor was a
man of the people, had remained with the
people, and had received such a popular
ovation as a king might envy.
Hon. j. B. d. Cogswell, President of the
Senate, was heartily welcomed by the audi
ence, and made Il suitable address.
Hon. Richard rockingham, ex-mayor Of
Charlestown, spoke for two minutes lit
tie dark man, thick-set in figure, with thick,
closely-cut iron-gray hair.
Curtis Guild, of Boston, who has travelled
in many lands, and had known Mr.. Taylor
intimately for many years. gave his testi-
mony in a short, appropriate speech.
To loud cries for :" Alcott - MIR. A. Bron-
SON Alcott simply rose and spoke q few
scarcely audible words. He is seemingly
quite aged; with long, white locks, but a
fair, handsome face, benevolent and kind.

esting to readers of story books, as being
the father OF Miss Louisa Alcott, author Of
Little Women and other books: also. of
Miss Mary Alcott.
Mr.. Alexander Wilkie sang a solo, subject
not given-no programmes. The choir
sang Mendelssohn's ITO Thee, Oh Cod,
My Country, it's of Thee a ~favorite with
Mr.. Taylor, was then sung, the immense
throng joining in the soul-stirring anthem.
Letters of regret were read from almost
every one OF prominence in the literary and
diplomatic world, including Gen. B.. F. But-
Ter, whose letter brought down ihe house.
The hands of the clock pointed to ten nm
utes after ten before half had been read. and
the tact that only Il few had then LETT the
hall. proves how much people were inter-
ested. Very few public speakers can keep
a Boston audience longer than till half-past
nine, when two-t!iirds of them have an ex-
cliSe. or make one, to catch a car. N. B.
