have seen and hoard the renowned Lola Mon
tz ! confess that was more disappointed at
her personal appearance than with her lecture.
Upon ~ mind she was pictured above medium
Size, somewhat neshy and altogether rather
course aud yulgcr in appearance. Not SO the
rcal LDla She is delicate, has very smaI
face, pretty mouth, II well ordered nose, and
large Comparatively eyes. She wears her hair
short, curIed, or rather lr2cd, around her little
but well shaped head, a To African. 1t looks
well and probably has much to DO with her youth
ful appearance. Indeed, she looks like Miss
of about twenty, rather than the wife Of three
meu, and one who has been tossed upon liIc5
most fearful waves for perhaps forty years. She
delivered two lectures in this city to the largest
audiences hot have greeted any public lecturers
this winter, Odcon Hall, the largest in the city
was crowded to its utmost capacity. did not
hear her inst lecture, on Fashion - but listened
to the socoud on "JOhn Bull at Home" She
talks like one who has seen more thorns than ro-
ses. Her voice IS clear her articulation leulleea,
her appearance and manner attractive, and her
sentences are foil Of two edged swords, She has
every appearance Of being competent to "lblk
blue strcak or "phl hair by the acre," when ir-
riated, and that | should think was about ali
the time, Her poisoned arrows, however, were
dipped in little good humor, and everything
she said contained food for reflection But she
soid SO much and startled the mind with such Il
rapid succession Of sentences, that the sentence
was almost totally eclipsod. Her lectures are
OF a decidedly popular character, and Lola will
eave every place where she lectur with molo
friends than she had on entering it. She was at
tired in plain black velvet wore n small collar,
held tne lace handkerchief in one hand, but
wore no ewclry Of any descriptions. If any Of
the readers OF the Journal have an opportunity
to hear her, advise them not to let it pass un-

PUBLIC WORKS
The House of Representatives. passed reso
luton calling upon the Board of Public Works
Of the State. A few days since the members OF
the Board sent in their written opinions, each
member speaking for himself Mr. Waddlo adj.
vocaled the nbsoute.soe of the Public Works.
Mr.. Backus contendcd that they shol ID be leased
for tenn of years. Mr.. Martin opposed
both the sale or lease of said Public Works, and
thought th1 continuance OF State management
with the exercise # the ost rigid economy
preferable to either their lease or sale. II is
! fortunate circumstance that the Board is com
posed of but few mcmbers, for this question, |
believe, has only thee sides to it, and what po-
sition could the fourth have taken? Is the House
relieved from its embarrassment?
Nothing OF much importance has yet trans
pirod relative to the roreul of the Baclus law --
A bill has passed which will prevent Mr. Backus
from making new appointments, but that is all
There is some difficulty about locating the mem,
beis, The North. West don't want Mr. Baclns,
neither does the South. East The applicants
| for appointments on each division are anxious
to have Republican member, while those who
are aspiring to be candidates for the place now
! filled by Mr. Bac<us desire him to be located in
their section of the State, thinking that the nom
nee will reside on the division where the vacan-
cy is to occur, As there are several aspirunts
for the Boerd in the North. West, do not be sur
prscd if Bacllus remain with you for 10, anoth,
er year!
