pliance with the request of Miss Olive Lo,
gan. with the understanding that the affair
would not be referred to by the press at
all, we refrained from mentioning the ar
rest of the lady for failure to pay the city
license, but as the papers here and in Gin
cinnati have ventilated the matter, with
most unkind comments on the action of the
Mayor by the Cincinnati press, we will try
and show that lone story is good till
another is told" The Mayor In person
asked for the license money at the ticket
Office on Monday evening last, as the lady
had advertised to stay but one night, and
was referred by the treasurer to the agent,
Mr.. Skies. Not able to find him, and Sc,
ing by the announcement in the morning
papers that second lecture would be given,
the Mayor waited until Tuesday evening
before making a second demand. Mr..
Skies, as we understand, agreed to settle
the matter in the morning. Meanwhile
some one had Informed Miss Logan that
payment of licenses had not been
demanded of other lecturers in this
city, and she refused to pay
the demand until she had consulted with
some friends in the State House. The Mar
shal, who called, was met with defiance by
the agent, and was made the recipient OF
considerable ''chin music" Finding it i'm
possible to get the money otherwise, the
necessary papers were issued and Miss
Logan was taken before the Mayor. 1t
was explained to her that the other lectures
delivered in this city had been given under
the auspices of the Young Mems Christian
Association, and that no license was requir-
ed OF that Association, it being home in
stitution. Such other explanations were
made as satisfied her that the Mayor had
but done his duty in the matter, and she
departed perfectly satisfied and in the
greatest good humor. She was not fined
one cent, neither did the Mayor charge her
his usual fee for issuing the license; he
merely required her to pay what the city
ordinance said she should pay. ''Only this
and nothing more"
HENRY VINcENT's LEcrURE.-J ust about
half-past seven o'clock last evening, the
-ain again began to fall and the result was
Mr.. Vincent's audience was something
larger than on the night previous, but not
what it should have been. If our people
could comprehend that they have with
them one of the mcst eloquent men of the
day, and one whose lectures are intensely
interesting, no ordinary storm of rain
would keep them home.
The erection of platform in front of tn,
pulpit was decided improvement. 1t give.

Mr.. Vincent's subject was Oliver Crom-
well, and masterly he handled it. TIE de-.
scription of Cromwell's first trip to Lon
don, his courtship, his marriage, his repl,
to the tax gatherer, the story of Jenn,
Geddes and the new curate, were pictures
impressive and forceful. limitations o,
royal stupidity and ignorance in Oxoniai
tory representatives were paragons OF ex.
cellence in mimicry. The political picture
was unconfused aud rich. His knowledg
of men and affairs of the present and pas
is as profound as his powers of effective
presentation are matchless. He can stel
aside from the track of his lecture most
gracefully to gather something rich by the
way. and return without in the least losing
himself or his hearers. He has most ac-
curate and thorough conception of Amer
lea and American politics, and way OF
showing 1t without seeming to hurt any
body's prejudices. The lecture on Crom.
well Is the substance of six lectures on that
subject compressed into one.
Tonight the last lecture Of the course
on Home Life, will be delivered, and VIZ
trust the Church may be filled.
GOING AHEAD WITH Ir.-We are pleased
to OBJ serve that the work on St. Joseph
Cathedral, corner of Fifth and Broad street,
has been resumed. When finished this will
be one of the finest church edifices in thg
city, II not in the State, and we know it is
the intention Of Bishop Rosecrans to push
1.-THE building to rapid completion.
