An 01 Liberal Thinker Hopes *‘Bob Ingersoll Will Go Ahead.” Wendell Phillips and Mr. Inger- soll Compared. _ The Atlantic Monthly for April ---A Disagreeable Story. From Our Own Correspondint. Bosrox, March 12.—The lectures of Mr. Robert Ingersoll the past week have been de- cidedly the lecture event of the season. The first lecture, which was the famous one upou Hell, drew a large audience,—Music ITall being well illed. The sccond, ucon ¢ Ghosts,” drew an enormous audience,—the great hall over- flowing with eager and curious listeners, those ot finding scats appearing more than content 1o find standing-room wherever they could. The quality of the audiences was of the best. And by that I mean that they Wwere not con- fined to the curious, and those who always rush 0 look at or listen to the last sensation, but those who as a rule are in the advance-guard of intelligent thinkers. Respectanle old Boston, which goes to church regularly, and pass church-taxes, and believes not so much in the Ten Commandments as in doing as other peo- ple do,—the other people being the great con- forming majority,—did not follow to applaud Mr. ingersoll, - They came—for they did really come, in small numbers it is true—partiy out of curiosity. and partly out of what they fondly {magined to be their duty. For they had beard of this terrible iconoclast going about like a roaring lion, ‘DESTROYING ALL THE OLD IDOLS, and it was certainly the duty of responsible men Jike them, who couldn’t be harmed by this de- structive talks, to hear for themselves, that they mieht be able to meet the discussion that was sure to follow from *¢ those deluded young peo- ple, who are always ready to listen to anything pew.” It was fauny tosce the smug faces here aud there, watchful and expectant, and now and then growing stony with wrath, now and then caught in the utterly unforeseenwit and humor, tripped up in the quick mesh of mirth which Deld the rest of the audicace in jubilant laugh- ter. They had got an idea—these blessed old conservatives—that this Western man was after the pattern of the Radical Club leaders, only with an added cloquence,—a John Weiss. Wwith- out his drawbacks of voice, his faulty elocu- tion. What they found was a man Wwho called g spade 3 spade, and Who pos- sessed the utter fearlessness of Wendell Phillips. John Weiss was a mild saint beside him in their suddenly-shocked estimation: which is very easily apprecisble to those who are familiar with Mr. Weiss? style, which is con- fusion worse confounded ~ou many occasions, where the long involved sentences, strung here and therc with elittering beads of rhetoric, flash bewilderingly 1o the external senses, and 1hus cover and half conceal the speaker’s oftea wildly-destructive theorics, and most savage and scornful denunciations of all the old super- stitions. But here was a man whose snort, sharp sentences were shot_straight out with a professional accuracy that did not stop to.con- cern itself about the eflcets much. The arrows were not dipped in balm they were not hung witn flowers. They were sharpened to u point, and that_point reached lome every time. He did not_fiinch at the strengest trith. He did ot hesitate Lo say, 1t is a lie,” when referring to some of the pet old beliefs. ~ In short, he had o Lirtle fears, no little reverences. He was not at a'l afraid of any sect or sct, of anybody’s upinion of anybody’s judement. He bad some- thing o ay, something that he thought ought 10 be said, and that ought to be said in the way that he did say it, WITHOUT BEING MEALY-MOCUTIED ABOUT IT. And the thunders of applavse that continually Toilowea this saying showed pretty conclusively 1hat a great majority of the audience were wit] him in thie belief. The well-known Radicals, John Weiss, Wasson, Higzinson, and Frothing- ham, are equally willing to be frank and out- spoken, and ard 50, after their own fashion. Bat they no longer assail the crudities of ortho- doxy in detail, if they ever did so. They bave ceased to be combatants in any speeial and de- cided sense. They are radical thinkers and philosophers, and, even when diflering most wadely with an opponent, their attitude is not specialls aggressive. It has always been a marked feature of the Radical Club_meetings ‘that they were 60 very tender of the feclings of apy stray orthodox visitor. To. be sure, this was only part of the host'scourtesy ; but I never lieard of the other side reciprocating this ten- derness. ‘And sometimes it has seemed as if the Radi- cal leaders were 0o indifcrent to the opinions and “Ee eriticisms of the * other side.”” Too ind:fferent, I mean, for progress. But this calm attitude, after all, makesimpression and carrics weight But, in the midst of all this, it is very awakening and_stirring, and, 1 make no doubt, very salutary, to have this new champion, this Luieht of the warlike epirit, rush into the'field with his frce lance poised for cucounter. The prominent Radicals have herctofore been from the ranks of the ministry,—* come-outers,” as thiey have been called from the churches. 1t is a very new and a very surprising thing to have the sinall circle suddenly enlarged frum the world of law and politics. And from this world Mr. Ingersoll brings such entirely different training from aoything to which we have veen accustomed in this field. His whole manner, Dis method of treating and arranging his sub- ject, is 0 entirely uniike the theological man- ner and method, that we are brouzht into a new region ot ouce, and held there. Weare in very skillful bands,~the hands of a very skiliful gg;:gxl pleader. And, as Ihave mentioned be- SHERE IS A LIKENESS IN ALL THIS TO WEN- i DELL PIILLIPS. ‘The likeness lics in the direct form of attack.the scathing scorn, the apt and witty similes, the Drilliant word-painting. And there the likeness ends. Mr. Ingersoll has s joviality which Mr. Phillips hos not. Mr. Ingersoll magmetizes and delights hisfaudience by_this very geniality of personal jollity and enjoyment. - Mr. Pniflips, by entirely diflerent qualities, stands aloof from them, aud commands their admiration, as it One little incident recalled Phillips ve clearly to my mind by the very forto of this contrast. It was at the Providence lecture, which, by the way, was met by an entbusiastic audience. It was the lecture on Hell; ang, in connection with some question of the eruel and arbitrary demands in the Bible. Mr. lngersoll asked, % What ruler in this day would think of making such demands, or of issuing such ordersi” A voice from the crowd immediately responded, ** Abrabam Lincoln did!* - w‘t!r.!g‘gcrso‘ll very quietly returncd that b orant of any such occurrence. Upon the reatfirmation of the statement by the vorce, 2 storm of hisses arose from the indignant audi- ence, and angry faces were turned in the dirce- tionof the speaker who had given this untime- I¥ interruption. M. Ingersoll broke in updp this with the most good-humored tone, saying 1o the anary crowd: “Don't do that; he's 3 £0od fellow; he don’t mean any harm.”™ The tone, the manner, so good-natured and pliaut, which said more' than the mere words, conveying as they did the real fact that the whole thing wasu’t worth minding, restored ze!r:ix;ilti);] r;fim uaco. m!gvgybodv laughed at the ation Elints t thic rash disturber of the ‘‘A GOOD FELLOV,™ 20dthus the matter came toatgud.

And upon this error he brings to bear the weapons he con- siders the most eflective. ‘T'he controversy he is aronsing will doubtless set many to consider- g aud investigating who would not. otherwise ve taken the tronble to do so. The result B b':, it s to be hoped, a little less taking on trust without examination, and a little more liberty where liberty is due. o, R eatiniz of Wendell Phillips reminds me of something so characteristic of lis easy sudaclty that it is well worth recording. The Free Re- ligdous Society nereinvited him tospeais in their ‘Sunday-Afternoon Course. HE ACCEPTED THE INVITATION. When he rose on the afternoon allotted to him, he coolly prefaced his Jecture by declariug that o had no sympathy whatever With the Deliefs of the Society: that they reminded himt of cer- $ain experiments that the Professor of Chemis- toy used to make to his class in his college-days, “They promised well: but they didn’t work! «So," said Mr. Phillips, with his most benig- pant_maoner, “tlns experiment of what they call Free Religion looks well, but it wouldu't Work.” And then, thankivg 'the Socieiy for their flattering_ invitation to him, the auducious orator procecded to give bis lecture. Nobody could enjoy this coolness more than_the Frec Religionists, as_their laughter proved. Some- body ot Inavtly remarked, apropos of this, that never was a man £o sure of auytbing that e didn’t know anythiug about as W ‘endell Phil- lips. Which statement, as far as this watter i coneerned, secmed to me casily proven out of Tiis own mouth; for I recalled a morning a few vears azo when Mr. Phillips sat at the Radical Tlub beside Mr. Frothingham. Koowing that e should be called upon to speak, and being unvwitling to do so,—for he felt truly that he was out of his spbere,—he half-playfully gave Mr. Frothingham a lttle pinch on the arm, and whispered, quite audibly to his next nelztibor, You speak, Frothingliam; { don's know any- thing about theology: L don’t kuow the Ten Commandments!” This came over me very faonily when Le told the Free Religionists so Denil::'uautl_y that their esperiment wouldu’t work. But let me tear myself away from the con- templation of these two fascinating orators for alittle look at the advance-sheets “of the At lantic for April. [t'salittlc more on the old _Atiantic pattern thau usual, which meaus that it is less lively, less varied, than it has been of late. S.A.L.E. M., the author of *The Child of the State,” has & thoroughly disagrecable story about a wretehed old woman Wno poi- soncd people in the most sumiary mauncr ‘When they beeame obuoxious to her, iwhile sbe went to church * regular” and talked ot how the Lord bad given her ‘frecdom from the bondage of sin.” 1t is just onc of the kind of stories that the tuntic has delighted in, or eroveled in, from the beginning,—stories of the ardest, boldest, blaukest Yankee life. But this one lacksthe usual humor. Wehave uot even the Tetiet of little dialect talk. There s the usual factory and the factory hands; but they all dis- coursé as i£ they had just graduated from a first- class seminary, with the exception of AN OLD VICTIAL WHO TALKS ABOUT IS ‘‘ FIRST WirE,” and says complected tor complesion. The story of ~Detmold,” however, improves. The youns people in it stop walking about in pictire-galleries, and begin to approach the point; and the heroine at’ last shows a little characterin most properly snubbine and snapping up that vers pompous young Italian. Thereisa denouement at the ¢nd of the twelfth chapter which is very practically managed. Of the otber articles, there are, * Warner’s Adiron- dacks,” Grant White’s © Americanisms,” Al Qrich’s ©Persian Poet, and a long paver smuggled into the body of the magaziue about novels which sbould have been in the Literary Record. There are other papers of more or less value, and then we come to the Open Letter from New York, which is all about the Water- Color Exhibition, aud next TIE CONTRIBUTORS’ CLUB, the best thing in which is this, set down ™ for Joston.
