LAKESIDE LECTURE COURSE.
The managers Of the Lakeside Lecture Course
are compelled to adjourn Mccormick Hall
for the second OF the entertainments On their
hst It Is probable that Farweu Hall will bo
formally opened to the public for the lecture by
Mr. RepwoEth Dixon The delay has not been
occasioned by any want Of diligence on the part
OF the management. It Was found that the
work Of decorating the interior Of the auditorium
could not be completed in time for the adu1s-
sion OF the public.
The a,tractivenesa Of the course, however,
has proved that it nore than compensated for
the Inconvenience Of transit to another place Of
amusement. The opening lecture Of the course
Was greeted by AL lmmense audience, assembled
to hear the Hon. Carl Schurz, aud mauy were
Obliged to leave the chulch who had failed to
secure their seats in time.
In order to accommodate the general public,
the course tickets, it has been decided to
give two grand concerts by the Adelaide
Fhillipps Company. Tie course tickets
will be good for the first CONCERT Monday evsn-
Ing Nov. %. in Mccormick Ball The second
gland concert will bo glsen in tile same place
Tuesday evening, and tickets for the same are
procurabo at tho places deslsnared for the sale
OF course tickets.
An effort has been made to induce tho nau~
agement to place the price OF admission higher
than tn8t for tine other entertainments OF the
course. But they have 1esolutolY refused to do
this and prefer to give two concerts, which will
enable all to attend who desire to do 30, at the
low price OF 50 cents for admission, aud IS cents
for reserved seats It will be noticed that these
rates are not 9reater than those charged for the
popular concerts given by our hume artists.

Blessing of the New Bell at St. Michaels Church

During the few weeks which have ELAPSED
since his appointment to the pastorship of St.
Michael's church, the Rev. T. Heslin has
wrought great changes in the spiritual and
temporal affairs of the parish. Besidessecuring
to his parishioners the great advantages of o
mission by the Dominican Fathers and giving
them an opportunity of listening to some of
the best preachers of our city, he has given
renewed vigor and life to the parochial school,
and, in other ways, has infused into the people
new fervor, zeal and activity. He is now
theoretically at work preparing for the con.
struction of school-house sufficiently COM
modious to accommodate all the children of
the parish. Among other things the necessity
of which have Ion been sorely felt in the
parish, was that of a church bell. This
Father Heslin ordered at once, and we are
pleased to announce that it has arrived and
will be blessed to-day at two o'clock His
Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, will of1iciate,
and the Rev. J. Moynihan, Jr., will preach
The ceremonies will be very imposing, and we
are sure that the faithful will come in large
numbers from all parts of the city to partici-
pate in them.

A Genius for Insolence.

There is journal in this city to which
we seldom refer, and never with pleasure
1t is paper in favor of which we must
admit, however, that it is handsomely SIM.
ported by the public and that it's editorials
are not without marks of genius. But
truth compels US to say that the public
support which it gets is most unwilling
one-a barefaced robbery on it's part, in
fact,-and that the only CLEAN of genius
about it consiats in decided facility for in
science. 1t knows how to be saucy and de-
fiant, how to be pert, intrusive and full of
mockery in the face of a disguised and
| helpless community, just like an ill-bred
boy, grinning and making faces at pris-
soner who does not dare to catch hold of
him and give him the spanking which he
deserves. We refer to the Republican.
This organ of nobody, this public enemy

among others, Catholics come in periodi-
caiiy for their share of the insults. To give

under the pleasant obligation of helping both

however, the more ardent admirers of the two
