MAI. PowELL's LECTURE lecture
of Major Powell, the adventurous ex-
plorer of the Colorado canons, advertised
for Tuesday evening, was postponed on
account of the absence of very import
ant adjunct-the Major himself, who with
his assistant and apparatus was stuck in
snow drift on the Burlington road, few
miles south of town, until late hour that
night. He was on hand Wednesday even
ing, however, and told his wondrous tale
of adventure, illustrating it with those
beautiful and sublime pictures taken by
the camera on the spot. Major Powell
has none Of the graces of oratory; in fact,
his appearance on the stage is directly the
reverse of graceful. He looks, just what
he has shown himself to be. the rugged,
hardy, indomitablc, brave man, with the
nerve to brave every danger and the will
to surmount every difficulty His lecture
gave evidence, however, that he has the en-
thusiasm of tue lover of nature, and

wilder moods 1t was full of curious in.

death in thousand shapes, he aud his
companions passed in their frail boats,
was thrilling and sublime. Over month
