Asc,rsr GrssIn,cs was the subject Of I

ANCIENT GYhsIs1cs was the subject Of a
most interesting lecture delivered by DR.. D.
+. Wright on last Friday night, TO the Gym
nas.ic Association bf this cityp The learned
lecturer went back to the first recorded gym
nss.ic exercise, that Of Jacobs wrestle with
the Lord, and detailed all the intervening
athletic sports to the time Of the extinction
of the 0lympian games. The Doctors thor
ough acquaintance with both the sacred and
profane history Of ancient times, enabled him
to exhaust the subject Of bis lecture; and
his peculiarly eloquent and agreeable man
ner of presenting II kept the entire auditory
spell bound. The Doctor has a most happy
knack, ss all who have heard him can tes-
tify, Of embellishing the dry and toilsome
paths of laborious research with the flowers
Of wit and humor. Thus his otherwise arid
explorations into the dusty recesses of the
past seemed like a pleasant summer eve
ning's walk through showers of roses by
Ben demeer's stream" wherein In endless
profusion sparkled the glittering fountains
Of gay conceits. The rapt attention of his
hearers made the three hours of his dis
course pass like winged dream, and 1t was
only the pain in their heads and sides that
made them sensible of the length of time
they had been, by turns, absorbed in the
profound research Of the lecturer, or aching
with his laughter provoking jests. We
could heartily wish for another such intelec-
tual banquet were 1t not that it is calculated
to destroy all relish for commoner entertain
ments, as the nectar Of the Gods units for
meaner beverages.

H6- We are indebted to E. @. Roach l.
Co., for their circular for the month of April,
from which we make the following extract
in reference to tobacco: "This staple has
been active throughout the month, and al
most the entire receipts have been sold as
soon as sampled. The demand has been
principally for Bremen and the north of Eu-
rope, and the sorts best suited to those mar
kets have been in more request. Heavy
dark fat old tobacco, suitable for the Mexican
trade has been sought for, but the stock of
this kind has been too limited to admit of
much being done. Receipts for the month
are greatly in excess of any former one and
are rapidly on the increase, and we are
highly encouraged in the belief that our city
will yet de respectable business in this sta
pie before the close of the year. We are
determined not to become discouraged, but
intend holding on with the firm conviction
that at no distant cay the trade will, to
great extent, if not wholly, return to this its
natural market"
From trashy Tugs up to choice selections,
the prices have ranged from 81 to 20 cents.
