THE ESCAPED .NuN.-As will be
seen by advertisement elsewhere, Miss
Edith O'Gorman, the Escaped Nun,
will lecture at Parrish's Hall, this city,
on next Monday evening". From the
extended and highly complimentary
notices of the press, both upon the At
lantic and Pacific Coasts, where this
lady has appeared in her role of lectu-
rer, we are certainly warranted in
promising this community more than
AN average treat in her approaching
lecture. She last week lectured in
Portland to overflowing houses, and
she has this week been interesting and
sensatioualizing crowded audiences at
Reeds Opera House in Salem.-
Wednesdays Statesman alludes to
Miss O'Gormau in the following conn
plimentsry terms:
1.-The lady is rather rivacious little
lady, and her manner on the stage Is
prepossessing and secures the undivid-
ed attention of the audience. Her IL
lustratiens are we'll drawn and her de-
scriptiosas So perfect that her hearers
can almost Imagine themselves within
the convent walls. Her gestures are
appropriate and her sareasms >of the
most cutting nature An occasional
sparkle of wit keeps her hearers in ex-
ccllent hnHl0r and causes Them to lis
ten to her interesting discourse with
undiminished attention throughout"
We predict for Miss O'Gormaa a pro-
digious house on lksn,,ay night.

THE TIP-ToE MARcH.-Here Is
something for President Warren to
teach his students at Albany College
An exchange tells US that it is All efn-.
nent success ''rhe object OF this
movement is preparatory to running
and jumping. The boys being in line,
the word, 'On tip-toes," is given -
each boy places his hand on his sides,
and waits for the word "Rise," when
they all gently raise themselves on
their toes, joining their heels together,
and keeping their knees straight, and
remain i'm this position till the word
<'Rest'' is given, when they fall back
slightly on the heels, their hands fall
ing down by their sides. Proceeding
in this manner through few courses,
wit aV;a$
themselves, the pupils will soon ac-
quire habit of graceful walking, of
the highest Importance to every one
who studies gentlemanly bearing"
THE "SoUND COUNTRY. ."-Messrs. S.
Montgomery and VIM. Gird, who last
week returned from a visit to Puget
Sound, speak ia the highest terms of
the business features OF that country.
The near approach of the western see
ton of the y. p. r. r. to Olympia has
given a new impetus 10 business there
and everybody is awake and rushing
Seattle, however, seems to far exceed
all other t0wTfs On the Sound in enter
prise and progress. Property is in
brlsk demand and commanding high
figures, and new buildings are almost
daily rearing their proportions in that
city. Our informants speak in the
highest terms OF praise OF the enter
prise, liberality and hospitality of the
people over there, and from their re-
