Professor DEMONS Lecture.

The first of his series of lectures was
. delivered by Prof. Denton at Grange
Hall last night. A fair audience was
present, and throughout the discourse
remained wrapt in interest. The Pro-
fessor has rather pleasing address,
with a ready flow Of language, and
he had no trouble in fixing the atten-
tion of his hearers upon the subject in
hand and retaining it to the end of his
lecture. The Professors remarks were
illustrated by charts hung about the
room, illustrating the geological for
mation of the earth, the earliest ami
NAL creations, mastadons, ETC., as well
AS a collection of mineral specimens.
AS a preface TO his lecture, and in fact
10 the whole course, the Professor
dwelt to some extent on the impor-
tance of the study of geology. We
are in our physical construction from
the earth, containing its elements in
every part of our body. The history

This remarkable curative herbal
preparation is entirely unlike and greatly
superior to any other recuperant ever dis
covered.
1t strengthens the living vital nervauric
principle, and gives energy to the muscles,
nerves, flaments, membranes, and all tissues
of the internal organs.
PIPIFAX-Keeps the skin in a supple
condition; the cuticle plant; the pores open;
and brings the blood to the surface thereby
enabling the system to counteract these bane-
full atmospheric influences
PIPIFAX-Passes through the blood car
ries Off by prespiration and other excretions
the effete and injurious materials of the body.
1t is soothing, Alternative and decorative. Used
methodcaly and nationally, aided by suta-
BILE diet, it produces most important changes
In the system, contributing tt the reconstruct
ton of tissues, and removes vitiated matter
which has become not only useless but inju-
rious. No other article has ever been intro
duced which combines in such an extraord-
nary degree the principles of an efficient anti

TURN VEREIN PICNIC.
A Day in Sycamore Grove-GiOriOus
sport. Plenty OF Beer. and Every
body Happy.

Our German friends could hardly
have asked for better day than last
Sunday on which to celebrate their an
nual May-Feast. The day was rather
warm and somewhat dusty, but this
only served to make people seek the
shady retreat up in the Arroyo Seco
with greater avidity.
At Sycamore Grove the crowd Of pic
nicers assembled about II o'clock in
the forenoon. Before going to the
grounds, the members of the
Turn Verein formed in procession at
their hall, and marched through the
streets to the music of Iserts Band to
the Plaza, where they took carriages
for the remaining distance. A HER
AID reporter visited the grounds about
O'Clock in the afternoon, and found
everything teeming with mirth and
conviviality.
Some were shooting with cross-bow
at ferocious looking eagle Tor some
thing), painted red and bearing in its
claws a captive lemon, the whole
raised high in the air above the heads
of the ambitious William Tells.
Others were bowling at ten pins; so me
boys blindfolded and with blunted
sword in hand, were taking turns at
trying to touch an overturned jar
holding beneath it hen-the prize
for the successful performance of the
feat. Modest young men from the
rural districts, with their sweet-hearts
were sailing around on the backs of a
circling caravan of hobby-horses-a
sort of revolving swing-in the very
ecstacy of delight. In the pavilion, a
merry group of dancers led down the
may circle, with short intermissions,
| during the whole afternoon. The beer
stands were surrounded besieged and
captured, and the way beer went down
was caution to unbelievers. For q
matter of hospitality, Joe Williams
circled constantly through the throng
with a gallon mug of the beverage,
inviting everybody to drink, without
money and without price. The whole
was scene of FOSTERING mirth, good
will, and happy freedom from every
thing but the enjoyment Of the hour.
We saw no signs of boisterous or
disorderly character during the whole
procee ding.
At nj ght q ball was given at Turn
| Verein Hall, and those who had not
enjoyed themselves to their fullest ca
pacity during the day, finished off in
the evening.

The Concert Last Evening-Mrs. Marbles
Wonderful Talent.

Last evening Mrs. Helen Marble
added to her reputation as an accom-
plished actress, an eloquent reader, a
polished elocutionist and charming
vocalist. Her voice has the full COM
pass of three octaves. 1t is flexible
and pure in quality, and sweet and
bird-like in tone. She sings the ear
nest, sentimental ballads we all so love
to hear with deep feeling and eXqui-
site sweetness. She is lady or eX-
traordinaly presence-a lythe figure, a
beautiful lace, over which constantly
flashes varying and ever pleasing ex-
preston; the very poetry OF motion,
her every movement is the embodl-
ment of artless grace; her posing is
always the perfection of nature itself.
On the stage she facinates the gentle
men and wins the admiration, some
times the envy, OF the ladies. her
wonderfully expressive features ana
sensitive nervous nature renuers her D.
natural delineaLOr OF every phase or
feeling. One does not know when to
admire her most-whether her arcn,
piQuant expressions, or WheH SLY 10
depicting, in all the naturalness OF hui
man, life the intensest emotions. She
sings with her whole soul. This is
the secret by which she carries her au-
dience with her. An embodiment OF
dramatic genius, under the inspira-
ton of the moment she expels from
the mind the knowledge that the po-
etry and music are not heard for the
first time-that they were the thoughts,
of others. The song she sings ana
herself are one harmonious whole from
the first note to the last trill. AS
with her music, so in her readings.
We do not now remember another III
stance in which the two powers are SO
intensely and tremendously developed
and blended in one person. If the
subject is grave, she thrills all with
sympathy; if gay, we are enraptured
entranced and while the exquisite
moment lasts are oblivious TO the
cares and anxieties of everyday life
Wonderful power-Divine Art. What
a precious boon is the glorious gift
Music: it makes men and women some
thing more than angels, little less
than gods. Mrs. Marble is one OF The
gifted-one of the angels of music

In his address to the public, Mr..
Chamberlain affirms that the Financial
Board was warranted, by good and
sufficient evidence, in the appointment
of MIR. Kimpton as Financial Agent.
He expresses his belief that the action
of the other members Of the Financial
Board. and as individual State officers,
in connection with the bonds of tho
State, was dictated by honest motives.
He claims that the purchase of bon ds
by the Sinking Fund Board was made
in good faith. Clearly none of these
parties were to blame for what Mr..
Chamberlain calls in another place
"the great disgrace of the Republican
party" Although bribery and corrup-
tion became tho order of the day in the
Legislature. Mr.. G. says elsewhere,
"the rank aud file of the party wore so
inexperienced that they did not under
stand or properly estimate the evils
which were certain to follow TIE bad
government and corruption" OF
course, they were not to blame. Mean.
while, in three years. the bonded debt
was increased about $l2, 100000. And
yet nobody was to blame. But in
1871, when these things were going
on, in letter to Colonel W. L. Tren-
holm, Mr.. Q. used these words:
"Inoompetenoy, dishonesty. corrup.
ton in all its forms, have advanced
their miscreated fronts, have put to
flight The small party that opposed
them, and now rule the party which
rules the State. = My eyes
see it-all my senses testify to the
startling and sad fact"
