 Monday.
 Visitors at the Ghautauqua As sembly were surprised by the large attendance which was uu- expected on busy Monday morn- ing. This Is recognized as a dis tinct compliment to Judge Till- man oi Fayetteville, the orator of the morning. The speaker was very pleasantly introduced by Prof. Simpson. who requested the ladies to remove their milli- nery for tile better exhibition of their coiffure.
 Judge Tillman's eloquent lee ture on The Glory, Jest and Riddle of the World" was intro duced by the following quotation from Pope:
 "See the same man in yigor, ln the
 gout,
 4 lone 1n company, in place or out. Early at business, and at hazard ate. Mad at fox chase, wise in debate. Drunk at a borough, civil at ball. Friendly at Hackney, faithless at
 White Hall.

 The glorg. isst=and riddle of the
 world.
 Many definitions Of man were given. While poets. philosophers and sages have declared him the crowuing eloryZof creation, Uncle Ra>tus las found him quite q disappointment.
 The speaker classified men as self made men. men who cannot lie. and n opposition. real estate men, patriots and men ot opinions.
 These various classes were illustrated by witty stories that kept his hearers in q broad smile.
 Man as q riddle was finely handled. Adam, with vast realty possessions, with no one to con test his vote. with no assessment quarrels on his hands. with his wife the first ladY o1 tae land. gave 1t all up for an apple Ma poleon sacrificed the only woman he ever loved to his ambition. Poe sacrificed even life to drugs and drink. Alexander, the world 's eonqueror. sueeumbed to the weakening vices of q luXuious life and died from tie excessive use of wine.
 Man is glorious in patriotism. This portion Of the address was listened to with interest and brought to the mind of each nearer memories Of his native state and aroused feeling of loyalty.
 The whole lecture abounded in classical allusioaS ard was. re- plete with bright stores and wise and WittF sayIngs.
