KENNAN's LEoTURE.--Kennan's

KENNAN'S LEOFURE.--kennan
lecture at the Opera House, last
evening, attracted fair audience.
The lecture gave great satisfaction.
Mr.. KEENAN, is a gentleman OF excel
lent talent and remarkable descrip-
tive powers. During his extensive
travels in the wilds of Northern Asia
he made good use of his powers of
observation. Having copious How
of language, he is able to interest and
instruct an audience. He has happy
faculty of grAsping and presenting
the interesting points of his subject,
and hence does not weary his audi
ence. Some of his descriptive pas
sages are splendid pieces of word
painting-for instance, that of the
aurora borealis. He depicts Arctic
scenery most graphically.
The Crescent City Band aided in
giving interest to the occasion.
Tonight. Mr.. KEENAN, will deliver
his last lecture at the same place.
Subject-"Adventures in Northern
Asia" All who attend will be we'll
pleased.
We are requested to state, on be-
half of the Library Directors, that
holders Of the Olive Logan tickets
are requested to use them tonight.
This will be the last lecture of the
season. and they wish to close up the
lecture business for the present.
tbs hoped that to-night's lecture
will be numerously attended. The
subject is new; the lecturer eloquent;
the object worthy. All who were
there last night will testify that the
lecturer is we'll worth hearing. Lee
