sion by Miss HelIyer.
She's cold and tough aud able to stand
it," is what Miss Callie Hellyer says OF
herself, and no discount on the remark:
A large number Of citizens who read
Yesterday mornings REGISTER learned
for the first time that such a curiosity
yas i'm town, and the announcement
that she would again hold forth at the
Temple of Justice last night brought
out a pretty good crowd. They had
been promised some amusement anu
they had it-there was fun-iun,
Galore. and the crowd stood anu
listened, and wept, and yelled ana
sweat by turns. The subject announced
for the lecture was THE Conspiracy
Against the Marriage Institution, but
A variety OF subjects were touched on
and made 10 culver with life and ANNA
;jun. AS il were. Among the number
NAV be mentioned temperance, fashion,
religion and 'that REGISTER reporter,
the last in big type, display head, anu
an eagle at the top. The poor young
man connected with this paper, who was
ionl.hardy enough Monday night to re-
mort Miss Calie, got it last night; but he
was there, lying perdu, and enjoyed 1t.
BY The way, he would have enjoyed It
more if his numerous friends and adj
mirers had not thumpcd him in the ribs
and trod on his feet quite so much. The
crowd enjoyed 1t too, and held their
sides and pointed our hero ont to their
friends with the remark, THAT s I'm.
This fact is also to be regretted as it
caused our Young man to feel bigger
nor old Grant.
Brt to take things in their regular
course, the lecture shall first be spoken
%; a. a short Introductory. Miss Callie
reviewed the remarks the morning
daiIies had made about her; more espec-
iallv did she pay her attention to the
REGISTERS report. Miss Callie evident
Is didn't like tin fact she plainly
showed that she did not.
She said that she did not mean to at
tack any OF the drug stores in this city,
rs She had not been here long enough
to find out about their dark ways, but
cha, REGIsrEE man" had given the
thing away, by speaking OF the back
door and little back room, all, he was
one OF the young men who went
in there an, and took his little
min, lie is one oil your
toney young men, all, and he dare not
get up in yOnder store and say things TO
my face, but he put it in the paper.
This is to be read, so as to give prop
Ter appreciation oil it, in about the tone
Bill Philips used in nominating Coil, at
Moundsville, and without break or
stop You must not take wind into
YOUR lungs, read as fast rs you can, and
a llint idea can be had OF how 1t came
out on the night air. Now, this is terri
Bile: imagine our modest young man
carving on joint debate with that
hurricane, and what is still worse, think
al his taking nip,
Callie said she would try to talk SLOW,
40 As to let the verbatim man on the IN
hiI;Ear,r get in his work, but she forgot
herself and went at 1t IN q
terrible way. She clawed the air
aud waxed eloquent Oh politics, with no
preference for either party. Said THAT
REGISTER fellow" WAS just right when he
GUESSED her height to be five feet three
inches; that was Just her height, and 1t
vas the most intelligent report she ever
hal. She was from the Buckeye State,
was an Ohio man, born in lS3j IN
Guernsey county, and had moved to
Hartford City; had taught school; never
had stood up beside man 10 marry
him, because she never had had a
chance; Wells and cheers she did not
propose to deceive, for rs the poet has
aptly said,
"Oh, what tangled web We weave
Wacu first We practice TO deceive
Then Jimmy Anderson, OF the Bel
laire indGpcad,nt, got a thrilling dose,
and Cattle said that Jimmy was cow
ard, and had said bad things about her
talk, but not about her character; for
although she was "Old and tough and
able 10 stand it," she would not have
ner character assailed, not by
anv means, and ii that REGISTER
attempted it, she would paralyze it. She
continued: 81 was told in Bellaire that
there was no use coming to this city,
that there was no bad women in this
town, but that there were some OF the
mcanest men and reporters, and that
the Len,i,r and Letter were the meanest
papers on woman like me-" \ LIdrr
reporter was here observed to weep But
THAT REGISTER man" was not forgotten,
and tina, news gatherer of ours got an.
other dose and more punches i'll the
ribs by his friends.
But enough OF extracts from the
speech. Ii could not he reported. She
appears To have a set speech, one that
has been written for her and she says it
rs a parrot. Occasionally she goes Oft
on her own hook, and il the statement
that she used to teach school is correct,
we venture the statement that grammar
was one of the dead languages, as il
were, in that section Oi the country.
She hardly touched on the SUBJ
iect she was announced to. speak
ON, but wandered around loose on any
aud everything. She denied being an
cXpounder OF wOmans rights and said
"that REGISTER reporter was distortcr
al words, and that the truth was not in
him when he put those words in his
head lines. Sine harped on fashion and
the way in which women dress; how
Young girls tlrt; how kind men are, (?)
etc, etc. She belonged to no church,
but il any one should ask her why, she
would consider them rs impudent as
though they had asked her why she did
not marry. That she could answer, she
never had had chance, land no won
DER She had been hired for the past
wear to lecture on the Conspiracy,
but her year was up now and she was
going il Tor a while on her own hook,
and she had fifteen hundred dollars to
back her up. On the Conspiracy mat
matter she would not say much, but
would say that she was having book
printed on the subject, and here
she said something about hurting
one of tie books at the REGISTER
man, but she said it so fast that it
could not be caught. Now, what any
member OF TIE REGISTER reportorial
staff wants one OF the books for is a
mystery, and, furthermore. they would
seriously object TO a book OF 100 pages
OF printing material being heaved at
them. Why, kind reader, such book
would weigh about 5000 pounds;
although book of printed matter,
would weigh considerably less. Still
