important lecture, which was heard with the
deepest attention. The audience were much
interested with the details which Dr. Baird

and queens, and other p~nucely pGrsonages
= whom b. has seen. He spoke q their man

respects very far superior 10 those Of some Of
our own sorcroigHs, or great psople, OF rather,
as he said, uoHid-bs great people, who think
they must affect a naughty and imperious ain
and tone, from fear that they win not be

thinks that they ar perfectly right We
have taken notes Of several topics spoken Of
BY ths lecturer, which we shall expand into
brief articles for the ArrrAL. HIS account Of
The little Republic Of san Marine We shall give
in our next issue. DIR. B. Relates a number Of
very interesting anecdotes respecting Queen
Victoria, Louis Napoleon. Nicholas, Fred
erick William. We wish that an the people
Of Memphis could have heard this lecture

OFrIcAL AND SrERIosoorIc.-We have. on
several occasions, called attention to the ability
Of C. Muller, Of Main street, near Gsvoso
stree, as an ortieian Of unusual skin in his
profession. We have the pleasure to be ac-
q~uainted with BIN, and have seen instances Of
the readiness with which he comprehends the
nature of defective vision in the eve, and Of the
skin with which be supplies precisely the lens
that Is required 10 correct the defect without
Increasing il, 10 assist weak vision without ex-
hausting its feeble powers. Our intention,
however, was to call attention % the stereo-
scope, which be is widely introducing here.
The instrument is a purely PhilosoPhic one, the
principles Of which were first explained By Sir
David Brewster. By %, landscapes, views of
statusry, buildings, etc, are presented, not as
in a picture. but with chobiecf standing sep
arate and distinct In some scenes the citv,
complete, is behsld as 1t appears by day; a
Sigh change shows it ar night. with lights
beaming from each WINDOW, and from the lamps
in the street. Mr.. Muller has views Of Paris,
London, Vienna, etc; Of places in Italy, Ger
many, Ireland, Palestine, he United States,
ETC.; Of family grouPes, interiors, Falls Of Nj
agara. and hundreds Of other ohjec.s. For the
study e effect in drawing. for private enjoy
msnf, and especially for the amusement Of Wis
itors, we know Of nothing equsIt 90 he enchant-
ing stereoseope. Mr. Muller viii take pleas
ure in exhibiting 1t TO an who call al his store.
To ladies, above an others, the s. ereoscop viii
Be found a Eost welcome addition o. e~legancies
Of the rarlor and the drawing rcsm- They

growing young city are 50 rapidly adding to IT
many valuable improvements, 1t is a source Of

youths Of our population are nobly conlubut-
ing their earnest and wei directed aid 10 the
ad-yancemenLof its literary art
Som few months ago, a few boys Of the
town, an under eighteen, determined to form a
debating club fol their own Improvement They
meet once a week, and have regular discussions
upon questions thai really tend to bring out the
powers Of the mind, and impose tn necessity
Of reading.
Their usual subjects are historical, involving
the reading OF history, aud in this the young
gentlemen Of the society have sh1Wntheir good
Judgment, FOR nothing 20 forms the mind Of
