hello in most of the lower wards either secret or other
wise tn orcert measures for the approaching public

gentlemen, which was interesting in physiological
point Of view giving IS fair idea Of dscord as the
human orgsn capable Of attaining. This, taken in
connection with the poetry, gave charming dash OF
variety to TIE perform ances OF the evening
In the Seventh ward there was an open meeting OF
the American Prees ant association, at which about
two hundred persons were assembled, mostly members
of the Greer. Mr.. James w. Barker, being member
Of The orgapzstiop, was preseut-not wearing hls re-
