Dongelly to Take the Stump.

Alter having written a thousand-page book and still failed to convert the world to his Baconian doctrine, Ignatius Donnelly has cunoluded to take the stump in support of his theory. . We are inclined to think that this is a sagacious movement* Even the best and briefest of books ' are barely skimmed over by the majority of readers, and when it comes to a book of a thousand pagreo on an issue three hundred years old, and one. that didn't even interest the people of that day, it. is mighty hard work, to get the people (of this rustling age to give much heed to it. Bab further than that, stunp speakingisMr Donnellys forte. "His auditors have to listen to him, whether they want to or not, and it is a very reckless man who hass^ot the temerity to cro33 swords in debate with Ignatius Donnelly. He can go oil over the State of Minnesota urging the claims of Francis Bacon to the authorship of the celebrated plays, and not a man will dare to rise up and speak in vindication of William Shakspere's memory. There isn't a man in the State who would provoke a tongue lashing from Donnelly even for the distinction of being considered the author of the Shakspere plays.— 4 St.* Paul Globe,' July I 1?.I 1 ?. <
