Peoples Course.

Notwithstanding the ward caucuses and 9th.
er attractions last evening, good audience
greeted Mrs Burnham and the Temple Quar-
tette at the opening concert OF the Peoples
Course in City Hall. The programme was an
attractive one, and gone through with in a
manner that amply repaid all present. AS
usual the sweet, pnre voice of Mrs. Burnham
won the sympathy and the admiration of her
audience She seemed in unusually fine spirits
last evening, and surpassed herself in many
instances, especially in the ballad singing,
where the fine qualities of her voice were heard
to their best advantage. In the "Gipsey Maid
en- perhaps, she won her greatest triumph,
though her success was very marked in the
0octurne with Mr.. Fessenden. The opening
piece on the programme, "The Image of the
Rose given By Mrs. Durham and the Quar-
tette, was rendered in manner that gave
great delight to the audience Mr.. Fessen.en
was in excellent voice and his rendition of
Break, Break" 1.-THE song written expressly
for him by Mr.. Geo. W. Webster of this city, }
provokeda raptuous encore. This was due in
measure, no doubt, to the intrinsic merits of
the piece, which is one worthy the talent of its
author. The other members of the Quartette
were up to their usual standard of excellence.
Mr. Ryder's ''Storm Wind was especially no
ticeable. The trio from "Luerezia Borgia,
sung by Mrs. Burnham, Mr.. Fessenaen and
Mr.. Ryder was admirably given. The ever
popular A. B. G. song provoked the usual APP
plause, and the beautiful scena from ''Il Trova-
tore" was greeted with even warmer admira-
ton than it awakened when given in the Mer
camille course the first of the winter. In a
word a great success attended the Inauguration
concert of what promises to be very popular

audience at Rochester n. Y. The Democrat
and Chronicle says of it: ''The discourse was,
on the whole, the best temperance speech which
we have heard, and, TIC our taste, even Cough
not excepted. 1t was manly and dignifed,
with no paroxysms of the frenzy of eloquence
which is often affected to conceal inert apathy.
As the audience was leaving the hall we heard
it remarked that the speaker ought to deliver it
to our Legislature. It is said that action is be-
ing taken to secure the lecturer again. If those
who have the matter in charge are Successful
enough to accomplish it, We hope none of our

TEMPORARY HOME FOR Young WOMEN
The public meeting called by the Ladies' Chris
tan Association in behalf of this enterprise,
was well attended, and was addressed by sew
eral speakers who presented many considera-
tions in favor of such a home. Among others,
the rapid increase in the number of young wo-
men who come to the city for employment;
their frequent disappointment at the outset, in
finding the situations they seek, or boarding
places suitable for them and the need of home
meanwhile; the further necessity in case of
subsequent Sickness the relief from anxiety on
the part of parents; the opportunities for in
1uencing these young persons in the direction
of usefulness, responsibility, virtue and relig-
ion; all these were presented as SO many ar
guments in favor of the home it is proposed to
provide.
Our citizens were appealed to, both as Chris
tian and business men, to respond to this move
ment, which was urged as most deserving of a
hearty support
