Library Lectures.


The sale of course tickets and reserved seats
yesterday was fairly successful, although enough
has not yet been sold to insure the absolute sue
cess of the undertaking, yet enough to give great
encouragement. If the friends of the library and
those who enjoy good lectures will now come for
ward promptly, there viii be no doubt of the re-
suit. twill DC great favor if those who intend
purchasing tickets will not defer it longer but
give the committee all the aid they can If any
are disappointed in getting reserved seats, they
should remember that this is public and not
private enterprise that the committee have done
the best they could to secure fairness in the dis
tlibution of reserved seats. The necessity of
selling the tickets in advance was the cause OF ad-
yertising very carefully where the sale would
take place. If some had read the notice and were
on hand early to seats, others not SO fortu-
nate should not withhold their needed help at this
decisive uncture. There is yet good number OF
reserved seats that may be selected If attended to

Hon. Caleb Cushing, writing to Secretary Fish,
from Madrid July last, says, according to the lat

from the Peninsula to Cuba, from the year 1869
down to the present day, is 81, 500, of which num-

ent service of the government. In addition to
which it deserves to be noted that large number
of muskets purchased by the last Captain General
for use in Cuba, have been Withdrawn and ordered
home for use in the Phninsular 1t is not surpris-
ing that under these circumstances great discour-
agement should prevail in official circles, to say
nothing at the uncertainty more or less respecting
the purpose and actions of the political parties
throughout the country, with the great question
rising above all others, whether or not at some
unexpected moment the troops may not pronounce,
Tor 1t IS no exageration to say that the political
fortunes of Spain at all times during the present
generation-and never more so than at the present
tlme-are mainly dependent on the will of the
army. The CONSUMPTION will yield at least 60 900
men for the army. 1t will also yield to the Treas
ury at least three hundred milan of reals (S,5,-
O0O,OO0) on amounts paid for exemption.
Secretary Fish in writing to minister Cushing
August 18th, says 81 acknowledge the receipt of
your interesting despatch of the Both ultimo, in
relation to the possibility of European interyen-
ton in the affairs Of Spain. 1t confirms the ac-
cosnts which have reached this country of the
atrocities in the warfare which seems incredible
in the 10Th century, which are without excuse or
palliation, and a continuance OF which would be
degrading to human nature"
