BIsHoP SIMPSONS LECrURE.-"Our National
| Conflict" will be the theme Of Bishop Simpsons
Lecture at the Academy of Music tonight. We
anticipate a crowded house. From the commen-
datiOns of this lecture when delivered in other
cities, we are led to believe that those who do not
| hear It now will miss n rare treat. Everybody
knows that Bishop Simpson is an eloquent
| speaker on any occasion, but when he has a
theme 20 full of inspiration, so capable of elicit
| ing the warnest patriotism, and so powerful for
| awakening the enthusiasm of a large audience,
we doubt not he win be more than usually elo-
| quent. Added to the attractions of the speaker
and the subject Is the fact that the proceeds are
| 20 be appropriated for the benefit of sick and
wounded soldiers. While we pay TO hear what is
said of our National Conllicr," we at the same
time are sustaining those who are giving TO that
conflict all its glory, and who furnish the best
| illustration of the influence of its principles and
| character. Let every one go.
