LsoTuHEs.-The lecture on last Thurs
day evening BY Rev. Geo. L. Chase, Of st.
Anthony, on "Books and how to use
them," was finished and scholarly pro-
duction, showing wide and careful reading
on tho part Of the lecturer. Although the
field was broad one, he grouped together
the most effective points, and gave many
practical suggestions drawn from his own
experience. The lecture throughout was
interesting.
The lecture by Hon. I. Donnelly last
evening on "American Humorists. "
drew crowded house and sent
away thoroughly delighted one. It was
however, an unreportable lecture, even il
We had the necessary time and space. Tie
speakers elaboration of wit and humor
his subtle drawing of the delicate lin,
which separates the two, and his analyst
of the different. kinds of wit and humo
would require a verbatim publication
while justice 10 his anecdotes and illustra
tions would require that he himself shoult
tell them. Type can carry words, but no
the expression of the human countenance
Mr.. Donnelly has demonstrated that b.
can shine as brilliantly in the lec.ur,u;
6eld as in the arena Of politics Or liz
halls Of Congress.
| Owing to q Misunderstanding, lhe,|
will probably he no lecture next week.
