INC LeCtuTG.
Agreeablv to the announcement made,
thu lecture by Miss Amelia Potts, Of this
city, on the subject Of = Woman = a0hat
she as, and Vhat she ought TO be-" was
delivered in Fox d. Dickinson's Hail, last
Friday evening in the presence Of an ap
preciative audience. Altholg ID this was
her first appearance upon the lecture. ros
trum, she evneed remarkable self-posses-
sion, aud wa, apparently, almost wholly
free from embarrassment. As literary
effort the lecture was. certainly, very fine,
and every way crodilable 20 the fair lee
turess.
Her position upon tue question of fe
male suffrage was antagonistic to the ma
jority of female lecturers. She couli
not see wherein the condition Of woman
would be improved by the right to vote.
and her argument in support of her po
sition was cogeni and convincing.
We understand it is Miss Potts inten.
ton TO lecture upon the same subject u
Hastings, R yer Falls, Red Wing, Hud
son, aud other adjacent toaus, sometime
during the winter. If so, we can assure
the denizens of those burgs, there is an
intellectual treat in store for them wor-
thy Of their best intellect, finest taste and
highest culture.

Meggctt is trying to make the people
believe that he favored the homestead
act. Strange that he should take that
position now, when it is well known that
he missed no Opportunity in opposing the
party who went before the country on

cessful. The Republican party were
successful. and the homestead act be-
came law. No wonder he would like
to wipe out his record in this respect
And doubtless were his political record

one which We most heartily endorse:
Resolved, That this Convention re

IL is strange how much Northwestern
Wisconsin has been neglected both by the
LegisIa;ureand by those interested in
Milwaukee. Racine and the Lake Mi b.
igan ports. Hitherto the Lake Super or
coast of Wisconsin has been carefully iso
lated from the rest of the State. In n
short time the N. p. r r will draw TO
the west eud Of the Lake large trade
which might find direct and cheap
channel from Superior and Bayfield, 10
Milwaukee,, rather than by ST. Paul and
Chicago. Ii this is much longer neg
lected, railway connections will be formed
which will deprive the Lake Michigan
potts of the S;a:e Of all benefits from
this trade. and as Milwaukee is especially
interested in this matter, We would urge
the expedieEcy Of hor making strenuous
efforts to be connected more CLOSELY with
the northern district Superior Times.
