nounce that the Literary Association of Of
tawa have succeeded in cffcctng an engage
mcnt with Bayard Taylor, the distinguished
Oriental traveller, to deliver lecture before
the Association on a week from next Tues.

sands Of delighted readers to see with his
eyes, countries they can never visit.
The Society have also the promise Of a
