with ditAimilty that the offlcial,. after the
aged man had told his name„ recognized in
him the famous Augustus Littlejohn, an
orator of such splendid ability in his
prime, forty years ago, that no one
who heard him ever forgot the ahnost irre-
aistible magnetism of his eloquence. Arriv-
ing from Niles Mr. Littlejohn had applied
to time poor authorities for "assistance to
enable' him to. reach . Schooloraft; which
place hedesired to visit. The assistance
was instantly •furnished him, e4s one whose

among a generation now passed Away.. He
was the Gough of the forties.. Old settlers
who have heard him repeatedly say that* he
surpassed Gough in the vividnessof his
descriptions and the wonderful and alto-
getherindescribable dramatic force of his
utterances. He lecturedrepeatedly all
through Michigan and Indiana on tem•.er-
ance, with enormous 'crowds attending his
-lectures everywhere. He was known also,
throughout the cast as well as in the west.'
