Being OPPOSED to these performances he
never lends them the couGtenance of his
presence or gives them suy aid or comfort
whatever. On the contrary he does whats
ever he can to. discourage them. The 9TH.
er day the Rev. C. C. McCsbe was adysFr.
tised to deliver a lecture at the 4th Street

was advertised to come off al Washington
Hall. Our Methodist friend having forgot
ten where the. lestttptira. was to be delivered
presented hlmselfat Washington Hall and
asked for ticket. alNhe ticket seller told
him that they had two kinds of tickets.
for front and rear seats. "Well,a said the
other, 81 want to hear the best of il. Give.
me fifty cent ticket.". He marched
slowly up the hall aud selected front seat.
He was little astonlshsd at the character.
of tie audience but seated himself uuie,l Il
to await the appearance, of the reverend
lecturer. The performance was com
meueedby the introduction of variety o.
negro eecsntriCiiies, and songs, dances;
and so forth, followed. Our friend was
greatly surprised at finding, himself in ,be
presence of a congregation of the wicked.
but as he occupied a prominent place ia
the hall he thought the safest plan was to
remain in his seat until the performance
was, over. He adhered'tost this .determinas.
ton until a young female performer, in
gasze and tights bounced out upon the
stage and proceeded In response to appEo.
