read the substance Of the Colonel's lecture In
an old book before 1t eyer appeared on the
lyceum PLATFORM" We are inclined to rhink
that it will be found that old Won has made
no mistake. Col. Ingersoll had better do like
Capt. scott's coon, and come down without

that the latter will bring him good luck
enough to compensate for the misfortunes OF
