The Cairo Ga=ette, speaking of the
recent address, by our senior, before
the. Odd Fellows, says: "Thc absence
Of the editor OF this paper precludes the
possibility Of giving to Mr.. Oberly's lee
ture to the Odd Fellows, In the Presby-

The ST. Louis Times "goes for" Bret
Harte's new novel in the following mar
velous style: SIT begins clear cut and
statuesquc. All Of the old fire is there.
Even as early rs it is. here aud there as a
seam Of gold in lead OF silver, the sadly
grotesque and the pitifully mourniul

reviewer one Of his mourniully statu-

to make the author Of it as popular as a
less forcible and more flowery discourse
would have done. Few of us like to be
told of folly, il ii be ours, even though
1t he fashionable one. Mrs. Wardner
has, therefore, the qualifications of q
duty well performed to sustain hei
through the trial Of temporary unpop
ularity."
