Mason JONES LAST EvESING.-The Grafton
at Wizards Hall, last evening. by Mason
Jones, was triumph in the way Of oratory
The subject selected was Garibaldi; and as il
was the orators first appearance in this city,
much curiosity was excited to listen to that
which Mason Jones had to say Of the great
Italian, and in what manner he would say it,
The hall was consequently crowded. Con-
unuous applause accompanied the Grafton from
It's attractive opening to its brilliant and most
eloquent peroration. This applause had a
cessation only when the thrilling manner in
which some parts Of the narration was ri yen
compelled the audience to listen with deep and
absorbing silence. On Wednesday evening,
Mr. Jones is TO lecture on Curran-a subject
which ill doubtless be treated by him in the
NEST eloquent manner. 1t will be the recital
by an eloquent Irishman Of the story of the
most eloquent Of 1rishmen, and Of the most
stormy period of Ireland's history. II will in.
fal1bly attract very large house.
