The lecture by DIR. George w. Avery, on
1.-THE Progressive Spirit of the Medical Pro-
fession" delivered at the Academy Of
Sciences, last Monday evening, discussed
subject of exceeding interest, not only to
the medical man, but to the general reader
and intelligent thinker.
The lecture was, perhaps, all the more IN
teresting from the circumstance that the
feature Of progressiveness in the science OF
medicine, belongs equally to every other
art or science; to architecture, which began
with hut of bark and ends in sumptuous
nalace: to music. which originated q whistle
IF willow bark, and has reached the mag
nificent cathedral organ.
The lecturer depicted the infant science at
the dawn of civilization, oppressed ana
overburdened with superstitions and with
physiological errors partaking OF the crude
state of every department of human knowl-
adoe Rnt minds imbued with love OF
medical science were inspired with the same
shirt of progress and ardent inquiry that
distinguished the votaries Of other branches
Little by littlespatient labor did its per-
feet work. and the result is before the word.

Baton R0uHe Election.


The Baton Rouge Journal reports there.
cent election in this manner:
At our municipal election last Monday,
the following, upon counting the ballots,
was found to be the result: First Ward
E. Elan. 252; total, 52l First Ward-L
Berhel, BAG; Second Ward-L. Berhel, 100;
total, 536; scattering, ]; Berhel's majority
over Elan, IS.
Never SO large a vote before in Baton
Rouge.
The Journal, INDUCING in little JUST
fable pride on the result, says:
We can not withhold an expression of Our
qualification on witnessing SO quiet and or
derby an election AS passed of on Monday
last in our city.
The leading men of both parties were un-
RENTING in their exertiOns. Every nook
and corner was ransacked so that every
vote was pOlled.
The two candidates were of our most
popular class Of citizens. Hon. j. E. Elan
il an old resident of Baton Rouge, gentle
man of excellent social qualities, and in
point of competency is fitted for the posi-
ton; indeed, he has held it for many years.
1t is presumable that the plan of rotation in
office had much to do with the result of the
contest which places him for the present
upon the retired list.
Mr.. Berhel, the Mayor elect, is a colored
gentleman Of ability, and one of the
the few of that class who has the esteem of
all who intimately know him.
The result of our municipal election is not
exactly as we desired, but we can not COM
plain. The council consists of men of
business experience, who will no doubt con-
troll the affairs Of the city with an eye to
economy and prOsDerity
The officers at large are men of honesty
and energy, essential prerequisites to a
proper discharge of duty.
We are glad We have got what we have.
Let us work, but work honorably, for more.
Our advice is. do good unto all men,
especially to those who are of the household
of faith.

Miss Leona Lavender.

This talented and pretty young lady came
here stranger and almost unheralded, but
her engagement at the St. Charles Theatre
has been in every respect satisfactory to
the management, the public and herself.
She is a charming, artless, natural actress,
and she could do no better than she now
does il she was born for the stage.
Her first, last and only benefit this eve
ming will be an ovation, for this little lady
has won the hearts, the sympathies and ad-
miration of our people and the strangers
who visit the St. Charles Theatre. Her
Gertrude, in the Little Treasure is pro-
nounced splendid piece of acting, and
that play will be on the boards this even
ing, together with her specially, "Minnie's
Luck" Her Minnie Rook is unexception-
ably fine. We bespeak for her magnifi-
cent house tonight.

Is not the least of the pleasures.

The steamboat w: s. Pike, or the owners

Last evening the ladies' were unable to

the hall. Purchase one of those delicious
cakes for your family circle.
Every portion of the room is occupied
with some attractive article, and all the eve

Tonight visitors will be RECALLED with an
amateur concert in the supper room. Sew

choose to listen.
Although gentlemen are not permitted to
smoke in the hall, yet one lady asserts she
has sold fifty dollars worth of real Havanas,
recently imported by we'll known house.
A passion for flowers, arranged in tasty
bouquets, can be satisfied.
Last evening we noticed many prominent
merchants in the room, attracted by the
pleasant reports they had heard of the
festival. Whether pleased or not, they
looked happy, making purchases at each
table, probably remembering that the festi-
val is for the benefit of the Mission Schools

Lydia Thompson.

Next Monday evening, the real and only
Lydia Thompson, with her burlesque troupe,
will commence an engagement at the
Academy of Music.
The Savannah Nc,cs has this to say OF
her:
fla week of triumph, testified by crowded
houses, had not assured Miss Lydia Thomp-
son and her talented troupe of the favorable
appreciation of our people, the overlooking
and fashionable audience last evening, on
the occasion of the benefit of the fair and
talented prima donna, justly entitled the
"Queen Of the Burlesque Opera in America, y
must have afforded a most gratifying and
substantial evidence of the fact.
The beautiful burleeque Of "Lurliue" was
very properly selected for the occasion. as
it, more than any other piece that the
scenery and properties at their command, in
our theatre, has enabled them to produce,
develops the talent of the troupe, and the
fact that it was repetition to one of the
largest houses of the season, proves that the
prOfessed merit of the company is more at
tractive than mere novelty. The larger
messed it's first performance, and would go
again and see it tonight.
In the protean comedietta of "A Day in
Paris" Miss Lydia gave us taste OF her
quality as comedienne, and it is no fattery
to say that her Emily GrenutNe. in her sew
eral maskings, so well sustained throughout,
added plume to her professional cap, de-
velOping a versatility of talent not less
attractive and effective in the PRESERVATION
Of character than charming in the bur-
lesque. In the comedy she was well sus-
tanned by Mr.. Beckett as Charles Wy"dham,
MIR. Edouin as Sam, and the charming Miss
Jenny Arnot as Jane.
Upon "Lurline" we have no new praises
to bestOw, as on the previous representa-
ton it was most admirably performed, and
kept the audience in an ecstacy of admira
ton and mirth from the beginning to the
fall of the curtain.

Il = hardly ~ Is doabted now that the
eiectioh will b 6ene shape 60 to the Con
erAl Assembly. II there arc soattering
votes enough 70 prevent majority vote
way. If the Canvasseis' report shall chow
bare majority for Englieh, without taking
Into account the twentysf0ur 0vercOunt for
Vnglish, which il supposed but can not be
proved till legal steps are taken, in Engfeld,
Governor Jewell will undoubtedly enter q
protest against The acceptance of the re-
port, and then we shall have fullblooded
contested election case. There does net
matter out of the Legislature.
Never before has Connecticut, except in
triangular fights for Governor, had such a
close contest. 1t will demoralize things Sc
verely. We can have no Governor to ride
horseback on election day; and as for the
parade, who can ride in carriages and who
go afoOt! Even the old fashioned New
England election cake will go a begging.
1t is frigltful condition of affairs for the
horse guard and other military Organiza-
tions which escort the Governor once year
and brush up the rest of the time; but the
worst Of it is that between English, Jewell
and the fence, we haven't got anybody to
write a message for the opening Of the
legislative session. 1t is painful to think
Of, but rather more painful for those on the
anxious seat than for the plebians who
voted early and often.
The following officers are certainly
elected, all Republicans:
Morris Tyler, Lieutenant Governor, by
3O6 majority.
Hiram Appeman, Secretary Of State, by
David +. Nichols, Treasurer, by 33s
Joseph w. Manning, Controller, by 1874
majority.
The complete returns show that there is
a Republican majority Of twenty-six ON
joint ballot in the Legislature-five in the
Senate and twenty-0ne in the House. The
House stands one hundred and thirty Re-
publicans to one hundred and nine Demo
Gratis.
HARTFORD, April 10.-An evident error
has been discovered in the returns of votes
from the fourth ward Of New Haven by
which one hundred more votes were re-
turned for Governor English than should
have been. This number was returned
more than was checked on the poll list,
and the Democratic State ticket was de-
clared to have received like number Of
votes more than the Republican ticket.
The matter will probably be fully inves-
tigated by the Legislature, and if the re-
turns are the result Of q mistake or fraudu-
lent count, Jewell will be elected. In the
new city of New Britain, at the first cleo
ton under the charter, the Republican
ticket was elected by about two hundred
majority. Both branches Of the City COun-
ell are Republican.
