ANNA e. DICKINSON AT THE ACADEMY
OF MUSIC. The reputation of MISS Anna Il. Dick
lnson the first female orator OF the United States
is fully established that It would be idle for
US TO say anything praise OF her rhetorical abh-
ties. But we will surely be pardoned for calling
attention to the thorough earnestness and hearty
sympathy with the oppressed of the nation which
have ever characterized her efforts as q public lec-
tUrer. The cause of humanity and jvstice possesses
no advocate of the sterner sex who is more out
spoken IN his sympathy for everything that par
takes of the character of progress and true en-
lightenment
on Thursday evening she delivers at the Academy
OF Music an entirely new lecture on "The Rejected
Stone" not the reit cted stone of slavery, which
Alexander II. Stephens harped so tediousy during
the halcyon days of the Z. s. A, but the rejected
stone OF equal justice which rejected by the first
builders but Is become the cornerstone of the
regenerated republic. those who wish to hear her
will do well TO secure their tickets without delay.
