A Galaxy of Sbavrs--Boochor, Gough, Livornoro and Pottor .Mimics nd Vocalists--You Pay Your Monoy and Take Your Choice. B.ostlm Cor. lDroi) FrCe Press. Tho harvest season for tho talkers has approached, and they are already asseiibling for labor. The West is the sCtion of country which is to be talked to this year, also snlg t and otlierwiso amusod. Mr. Beecher is tho first lecturer, He begins i Mtichigan, and goes as far vest as California. Mr. Beecher can alroid to lecture ; aniiyl)ody can that geti from $500 to S1,000 a night for fees. He cleared ,40,000 from his last trip, besides imking a nice little sum for his agents. However, Mr. Beecher is what they call a "sensa tion ;" ho only lectures occasional Suasous, and is wise enough to lot a sufficiwit nuimber of years elapse betwen his appearan ces. Now Mr. Gough has lectured thirty-liv! years without missing it season, and ho goes year after year to the samo places, and peoplo never tire of him. He has addressed the same audiences moro times than any other lecturer in the world, and always opens sev eral of the leadiig courses. He has from $100 to 1300 a night, but to small places, where h thinks he can do good, he will go for loss. Mr. Gough has a nice little incomo, as you may iagine, and lives c.rm inlgly at West Boylston, a little town just oUtside of WorcestOr. le IsI no chih1rn, but lie has adopted four niecCe- of MIs. 0IIImgi's, lively girls, too, anid loooiks on them quito Ias his own. He is a clat-miung host, and as ve1sati 1 m1 bik'tit in the homo circle ats lie is On the phtf 'ia.

Tie iima:gers wvill make you very velcome, will give you the cosiest arm chair in the L>vely )arxlor, or lot you sit at easo Al aomo corner of the business office, whoro you shall see and hear and be rarely entertained. Familiar faces smile (own u)lpon you from the walis, and their living prottypes startle you by putting in ueCXpce ted ap poa.ranicos. They are full of life and vivacity and experience, and aro fond of comparing notes and relat ing adventures. soME LADY LEcTURER'IS. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore usually p)uts ini an early appearnce, for she is one of thme busiest and miost sought after wvomen of the country. ~She shares popularity with Gough, and earns the sanme amount of money. To seo her you never wvould iimagineo that she was "to the foro" as a roe former ; she is a motherly looking woman, with a world of good nature amid kindliness in her face, a cheery mianner. anid the jolliest laugh I ever heard. Somo day Tm gon to tamke you to her p)retty home in Milromo' and showv you how the most iniluen, tial lectmi or on woman sufYrage and that sort of thing looks sulrrounded by her family. You wvont like her any the less on the platorm. hoe hats a wonderful powor of controll ing audiences. I reamomber a few years ago, wvhen tile q1uestiOnl of giv ing the*sulflrage to women was boen Ifore tile p)eople of Vermont, it wvas dlecided to conduct a regular camn pain in the State by Massachusetts advocates of the cause. Mrs. Liver more, Mis. Julia Ward Howe, Mr's. Lucy Stone, William Lloyd Garri son and others wvere among the speakers who wore to hold conven honis ill the leading towns of the State. All went wvell enough until thme party reached Burlington, inl which town there was an open lies tility to them. Dturing the first evening's session when Mr. Garuri, son appleared, he was greeted with a stormi of hisses ; 1h0 held his oJwn and finished his speech, but in the midst of the greatest confusion. Mr's. Livermore wais tihe next speak. cr. She camo to tho front of the platform and stood in the quietest manner, with mioro reoal dignity in app)loaranLcO than11 I ever saw before. She did not open her lips, but she stood there looking about- over the vast audience until from very shame and out of respect which they could( not withhold, silence was fairly compelled. There was no more dis tiu'bance, and at the close of hoe address the demonstrations of pleas uire exceeded tile previous ones of disapproval. Mind you, I don't assor t that the audience woro con verted to a belief in the suffrage, but they certainly had a very differ ontopinion both of thQ social and intelloetualf status of the women who advocated it. nEL.N orTER. Tat f tall, grly-eyc(l, graceftil woman lin such carnest conversation with Mrs. Livo1rmore is Helen Pot tor, the reader and impersonator. Her entertainment is quito unique, and consists of reading and imper sonations in costuimo of lecturers arnd readers. Last year she pocketed 1 a8,000, after bor commissions nd111 ot.hor expeso wore palid. Shle began ats teacher in Onida, Now York, and worked her owNI way a1long though overy diftivi'ltyV ilnali('ed, un11til she reached hier )resellt position. One of her best impeli'nations is of Ania Dickinson, both as lecturer and actress, and she has lately had to encounter Miss Dickinson's op position. At her appoirance in Philadelphin last April she had ad vertised to do the "letter" and "quarrul" seues in "Crown of Thorns," and just as sie was going uipon the stago an inljiuetion was served upon her to prevenLt the imi tation. Shie was ready for the Omergency, and had a lawyer thoro in a few minu tes, found sho could do it at no risk except that of a lawsuit, so she (lid it, mu11Ci to- the delight of lier audience, which nimin bered niony of Miss Dickinson's puls(inal friued. There 1has been no suit brought against Miss Potter as yet, and I don't bulieve there will he. Some ill,natured person. told Miss Dickinson that Miss Potter burlesqued her and lier play, an assvrtion witirely unfounded, for her imitations are all entirely free from anything of tho sort. SURFEITED wITn TALKERS. Dit--I wonder if it's a sign of the degeneracy of tile times-locturing isn't lialf such profitable business a1s it was half a dozen years ago, and so it alippoins that, with the exception of the few really popular spenkers, the majority of the talkers do not find themselves in demand. The public wan!6 now to be amused rather than inistructed, and musicia ando dronatieal combinations, read, ers and impersonatiois aire taking the place of tile lecturers in tile ly eumillis, and you meet as many artists ats you do talkers ill the rools which havo lcretolcre been considered "sa:ued to the Lycotm talkers." MMIes AND VOCALISTS. You will sco genial Sol. Smith Russell, who is adding E istern fame to his Western popularity. Jules Lombard, who has the deepest bass voice in the world, and 'ranks with the hitherto incomparable Whitney. By the way, it's very funny to hear the two talking togetherl ; One won, dIs if tho voices come from their boots. I think Lombard goes a little tile deepest for his. Why is it that bassos are ahmost always so 11h better natured fellows than tenoers ? Thely soom to take the world ten timles as easy. There is preCtty Laura Schimer, who, Adolaide Phillhps says, has the linest soprano voice iln tlio countriy, anid that added to the most p)iquanlt face and win. ning manner, makes her a most fasoinating little body. TWO MAINE GIRLs. There is merry, mischievous Dora Wiley, who sings "Annie Laurie" as it never was sung before, I believe, and11 whlo has a brighter' future be fore lher, if sheO had a mind to accept her oppo rtnities, thlan alny other of our young singers. Miss Wiley is a1 Maine girl, as yet in her early twoenties, and ill fiho face of many obstales sile 1has won a good position inl the mnusic:d world. Apropos of Maine and its musical girls, there isi anotiler who is mlak iag a ropnmtationl ab)road. I meanll Miss ClaraI Nichols. Sheo is young, yretty anid aLttractive, andl had1 already become quite a favorite her'o, when Annio Cairry spirited her off to Europe. Sile took hor to Mos cow and St,. Fetersburg with her', and finially loft lher ab Milan to study. Sho has appeared there iln opera most successfully-a real and not a newspaper success, by theO way and she wvill prob)ably return to America for the next Cincinnati fos., hival, whiere she is to appear' with lher friend, Miss (Cary.
