claimed that the contract OF Oakley and the de-

The Rev. Samuel Osgood, d. D., ecfured IN the

West Eighteenth street. last evening" on the subjecu
OF "WOman in Europe" The lecture was the first
OF course In aid OF tho Brotherhood Of
st. Anne's Free church, or rather, In aid
Of the Sunday school room Of the church,
where Sunday school, Industrial schools
&C., are beng carried on. There was scarcely
standing room in the hall for the large audience.
which was composed OF the creme de Ia creme Of
upper society," the fact that the lecturer recently
turned from Europe making the lecture especially
attractive. DR.. Osg0od c0ntrasted English ana
American women, and considered from what he saw
and heard in England that English women believed
themselves 10 be utterly dependent upon
men. He recognized o broad dinecence In the
manner In which women were estimated In America
by men from that In which they were estimated In
England. Passing on to the Continent the speaker
glanced at the demt.monds In France, the almost
beastly manner In which women were treated In
Germany and Switzerland, and returned again to
his subject by treating Of the great strength Of
body which English women possess, and telling
some very amusing anecdotes In proof OF
the energy which young English women dis
play IN bearing the travellers hardship and
ia pursuing the tourists pleasures away from
nome, and made tlis matter an occasion to SPEAK
Or the imitation by American ladies' OF their Eng
Ish SISTERS In au that rtains to luxurious encmi-
macy. while tho energetic and beautiful exercises
are ignored. In alluding to religious matters
the lecturer said he had had the pleasure
OF receiving the POpes blessing and
he was glad to hear had the blessing OF good old
man. He admired very much the proficiency which
the fair pupils In Catholic con ents in italy and
elsewhere attained, though he Ieprobated q system
which confined women within the enclosure or con.
vent walls, as prisoners OF the priests He ad.
yised American women to lave nothing to
40 with the Latin races, and To choose
their husbands from among American men
a sentence which the audience loudly applauded.
In noticing the TACT that everywhere In Catholic
Europe the Virgin honored a. the Mother OF
Coo, and her mid and holy lace with those Of other
pous women long dead, but still loved Tor the vr-
tues OF their lives, was TO he seen In All
the cathedrals and churches, he reasoned that
women were capable OF high and lofty
sphere OF life. He seemed to believe that union III
all the Christian religions Is not an impossiDlry
ana that with all the faults OF each expunged there
might In the future be religion including q similar
worship by every people.
