Mrs. Duniway's lecture upon sAIar-
riage and Divorce" announced last
week to come of on Monday evening in
Museum Hall, was quite largely at
tended, the hall being well filed. The
contribution to the Museum was quite
liberal, and the friends seemed to enjoy
the occasion TO the utmost. Mr.. Wood
is suffering the depression always en-
dured by a pioneer in an outlay requir-
ing much capital, and making slow re-
turns, and we hope the public will con-
tinue TO patronize him literally.
We were much disappointed in that

given 10y Rev. T. l.. Eliot in the Unita-
riau Church, on Monday evening, upon
the Transit of Nenusn Out of cour-
tesy 10 Gen. Howard and the COngrega-
tiOnal Church, we had stipulated that
the regular evening of the Museum
course be changed from Tuesday till
Monday, and the change was made,
only TO find ourself deprived of another
treat in another direction. Mr.. Eliops
lecture was one Of great interest to sci
entists, and, We learn, did great credit
TO the gentleman as a scholar and
thinker.
The friends OF Capt Paul Carno will
be panied 10 learn that his little
schooner, Mia Bond, was driven ashore
during the recent severe sOutherly storm
OF the 23d and oath ultimo. One cable
parted, and the very high tide and wind
drifted her ashore, dragging her other
anchor where she now lies in the Tilla-
nook Bay, about two miles inside the
bar. This is the second time that this
little beauty has been beached in this
bay. She was all ready for her trip to
Portland, from whence she came shortly
before, with cargo for our citizens.
Her master is preparing TO launch her,
which undertaking, II is TO be hoped,
Will be successful
The very excellent lectufe OF Rev. J. ID.
Pierce, delivered on Friday evening in
the Baptist Church, under the auspices
Of the ladies OF the League, entitled,
"Does it Pay" though receiving not
one-quarter Of the attention from the
lecture-going public that its merits de-
served, was deeply appreciated by the
audience, and ordered printed. 1t will
be found entire in this weeks issue Of
the Star, and will be condensed to suit
the crowded state of our columns for
next week. But what is the matter
with the Temperance people? Are the
masses of them dead, or sleeping ?
Have they not learned by this time what
we have all along incurred their displeas-
ure by asserting, namely, that there is no
use in woman suppOsing she can con-
quer drunkenness unless she votes?
The lecture of General Howard, on
Tuesday evening, subject, "Sherman's
March to the Sea-" was in every way
worthy of the theme which inspired il.
We regret that we have not space for q
a satisfactory synopsis. The General is
a calm, dispassiOned, but very pleasant
speaker, evincing much culture and re.
fiRement, as well as that genuine humoi
that always accompanies real, soldier
like grit. As we looked upon the
manned warrior, and listened with
thrills of unflagging interest to his vivid
recitals of the herculean labOrs of vast
opposing armies, encountering disease
danger and death, we thought, "What q
sad commentary upon perverted human
nature i'm this hOrrid MolOch, War
Shall we ever see the day when nations
shall learn war no more; and when
swords shall be turned into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks"
The Phelps Dramatic Troupe, which
left Portland last week for Victoria
played the last evening but one MARI
Twain's serio-cOmic tragedy, "Tht
Gilded Age" We regret that so good q
play should have drawn so small an au.
dience. Mr.. Sawtelle az "COl. Sellers,
and Mrs. Phelps as Laura Hawkins,
made decided hits, sustaining the char
acters to perfection. Mr.. Barrows' rem
ditiOn Of "Uncle Dan'rs pra'r," wai
alone worth the price Of admission.
There is 4 lesson to be learned in the
play which everybody ought to heal
and heed. The evenings performance
terminated with the farce entitled $50
Ion Shingle," in which Mr.. Barrows as
''SolOn" was q decided success. He
kept the audience in continual effer.
vescence of merriment during the whole
performance. Mr.. b. is young mar
who has already acquired merited dis.

and we predict for him an honorabl,
