In reference to John B. Gough
"When his name was anounced, he rose rather
awkwardly, and walked leisurely towards the foot lights on the
platform, with his hands foded behind him, and commenced speaking
slowly and in a low tone of voice. In a few moments, however,
the lightening began to flash from his eyes, and the thunder of
eloquence to peal from his tongue, and his countenance glowed
with the inspiration of his own ideality, whilst his thoughts,
clad in simple Saxon, fell on the eager ears and found thier way
to the willing hearts of his hearers."
