Church of the Good Shepherd, which was destroyed
by the tornado of last summer. In reviewing the
history and doctrines of the Church of Rome, the

Christianity and heathenism. Its Importance she
recognised the great conservative element during
the middle ages. These passed and political order
more restored the mission of the Church hau
been to retard progress Its worship pof relics was
alluded to, after which the lecturer drew compare

Lola said
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN The advertisements
have informed you that the proceeds of this lecture
are to be given to the Rev. Ralph Hoyt to aid him
in rebuilding his free church for the poor. The pa
pers have also apprsed you that some of the clergy
have cast reflections upon the worthy rector for
his willingness to receive the sum which your pa
tronage of this lecture yields, which is certainly
piece of bigory, intolerance cruel to the poor and
meddlesome impertinence, which have never be-
fore witnessed, even in the most illiberal Catholic
countries of the old world Applause. who are
these men that would bar you and me from doing
good act and would rather lock the doors OF com
fort and instruction on the poor than that theY
should be blessed by hand which will not be
moved by their dictation? Loud applause. How
many churches will be built, and how many
poor will be fed by money Td Which they will

blind bgots lesson, and to tell them that they are
not Christians but Pharisees. They belong to the
same class Of hypocrites who condemned the Saw

sinners [applause], and they appear to be just az
full of the headstrong devil of intolerance as they
were in the old time. They are certainly very
mpudent and very bold devils when they enter
into the breasts of protesting Christians in such

or the Feiee Islands, but in America it is like

At the close of her lecture Madame Lola Montez
was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause,

NEGRo PRINCES AT PARGs.-Three young negroes,
ofpetty kings in the district of Sengal, were
about year ago sent from St. Louis to the college
at Algiers, where they were placed at the expense
! of the French Government. They already speak
| French perfectly, and quite accustomed to
| French usages Having recently been brought up
| to Paris, they were presented to Prince Napoleon
and his imperial highness, three days ago enter
| tanned them at dinner. They conducted themselves
extremely well, and replied to all questions with n
| tact and good which occasoncd surprise
They are named Nafe, Macran and Coury. The
first the eldest, is delicate and of low stature but
he is the most intelligent. Macran fourteen years
| of age writes French toerablv well; he talks less
! than the other two, but is gay, and sometimes
! smiles satrically at what his companions saw
Coury, is not quite twelve, is tall and strong is good
| naturcd, but rather melancholy. He SAYS "Nafe
! is the best instructed of the three but Macran is
| the wisest." The little fellows, notwithstanding
their youth, display great tact in avoiding direct
| replies to certain QucS tons. ''O what religion
you Y' asked the Prince to Macran. "We are not
Mussulmans'' was the reply. ''What then is your
religion ?'' asked the Prince, turning to Nafe the
most learned of the three. "f French missionaries
were sent to our country, should all be Chris
tians, was the answer. The fact is that they are
idolators; though, from mixing with MussuImans
and Christians at Algiers, they have begun to lose
! their faith in the paternal idols.
RED REPUBLICANIsM IN LoNDoN.-The London
Star mentions that on the 22d ut. considerable
number of English and French Democrats assem-
bled together the invitations of ''the Interna-
tional Committee" to commemorate the establish
mcnt of Republic and the overthrow of monarchy
in 1892 The hero of the recent State trial. Dr. ST

Mr.. Pyat depicted the present state of France in
very dark colors. Only one Englishman spoke a
Mr.. Macke, whe attributed the failure of the first
French revolution to the murder of the "immor-
pressed his distrust of the leaders of the reyou
! ton of 4S-Lamartine, Louis Blanc, and Ledru
| Rolin. According to the speaker, Louis Blanc
ought to have shot Lamartine; and, as he did not
do So he has forfeited the confidence of all true
| Democrats.
