SENATOR WILSON'S LECTURE
Notwithstanding heavy rain, last evening,
a large assemblage greeted the new Massachu-
sets Senator's first appearance on any stage"
at the Metropolitan theatre. After being intro
duced to the audience by Henry Ward Beecher,
Mr. Wilson began his address, the subject of
which was, "Anti-Slavery in 1885, and Anti
Slavery in 1855"
In order to put himself right, and remove any
doubts as to his personal soundness, to which
his late alliance with the Know Nothing party
may have given rise, the speaker declared that,
in his opinion, American Slavery, our connec-
ton with it, and the obligations imposed by
that connection, are the great political issues in
this country. His confession of faith we give
in his own words

Senator Wilson then proceeded, by an emu.

lition movement to contrast Anti Slavery in the
United States in 1885, and Anti-Slayery in
1855.
The speaker continued the recital till the
time of the passage of the Nebraska bill, after
which, he thinks, the prospects of the Anti-Sla-
very reform have improved prodigiously, He

The court held that:
The act under which the prisoner Is pros
eeuted makes il criminal to utter and publish
as true and genuine, any false, altered, forged
or connte rteited Bank bill or note, ds, for the
payment Of money.
The prisoner has done this, unless the legis-
IAtion Of this State has made bank bills Of a
less denomination than ten dollars, that are not
issued by, or made payable at one Of the banks
of this State, utterly void and ofno validity.
The act Of 1870 simply prohibited the circu-
lstlon of such banks Of less denomination than
Eve dollars; and under this act it was properly
held that forgery and criminal utlering Of forg.
ed bank bills, might be committed Of such pa.

circulation, passing or transfer Of such bills Of

thereto. npIl end void, and any disbursements,

Under this enactment of the Legislature, it
is alike unlawful to put off and to receive such

false are equally void; he who takes either,

PENNY WISE AND Pound Foolish. The

Shllings per week towards spinklingtte stree s.

By male protector, her destination being Mas.

proceed, but fortunately for her, she met with
an acquaintance, who gave her the necessary
directions, and accompanied her to the depot Of
the Cleyeland u Pittsburgh road, On arriving
al the station, the train was just starting: and
the young lady, in baggageless and afflicted
condition, was only able TO SECURE her seat.
MIR. Conductor Cleland perceived the dilemma,
end stopped the train, allowing time for the la

done without display, evidencing nothing hut
a desire to confer benefit upon one from
whom certainly no adequate return could have
been expected.
