GREAT EFFoEr.-An exchange speaks as
follows:
To hold an audience in r.pt and al
most breathless attention for two full
hours is, alone. sufficient proof of o
power in eioqucnce possessed by few in
this or any land. But at the close of
Anna Dickinson's lecture last night, Mt
the theatre, her simple recital, in simple
words, but words well chosen and laden
with exquisite and thrilling pathos, OF q
story of Joan Of Arc, or Jeanne D'Arc,
(Which Lippincot gives as the true ortho-
3raphy,) it seemed ns if there was not
one in the audience who had taken any
note of time, or who was not SO fully ab-
sorbed in the theme and the fascinating
enchantment of impassioned oratory, az
to have been willing and eager to dwell
for yet another hour. No power of pen

were the eXccutioncrs of Joan Of Are It

synopsis OF Miss Dickinson's lecture;

there are few popular lectures which re-
tain so much of interest and power in
their reading as do hers.
