sEslSN AMERICAN COURSE.
Lecture by Rev Father Lunlfey of this
City.

Last evening Rev. Father Lunney of St.
Dominic's church, delivered the last lecture
in the course given by the Irish American Re
lief Association. The subject of the lecture
was "The Speculations of the Present Age"
The subject was treated in a very liberal man.
ner, and the various speculations were plainly
shown and explained. The speaker first alud-
ed to what men in general say of the present
age. He likened it to the ocean, for as the
ocean is fed by many rivers, so the present age
is supplied by streams of experience flowing
down from early ages. These experiences
make the present age what it is, either good or
otherwise. He then passed to notice that man
is a being subject to instruction. This is OBJ
tanned in various ways. The child is inevitably
tinctured with tie mental as we'll as physical
attributes of the parent. They may be slight
and but little observed, bnt they are neverthe-
| less part of the child's being. The speaker
put great stress on the fact that knowledge is
| necessary, but he remarked that the criterion
Of true knowledgeis certainty and universally.
There is no true knowledge in the present age,
the speaker remarked. This he illustrated ina
very plain manner. The speaker next passed
to consider the evolution theory. Even if this
theoy is true, he remarked, it does not dsprove
Creator The speaker next spoke of civilva-
ton. He said that the civilization of the pres
ent age is the will governed by passion rather
than by reason. The next point made was that
| moral teachers as individual interpreters of the
moral law are unable to teach the truth. The
lecturer closed with glance at the political
| theories of the present age.
This course of lectures has not been so we'll
| supported as it should have been, and it is to
be regretted that it has not been finan-
cial success.

The paus,rx Exhibition.

1t was thought that the.committees would
complete their labors yesterday in season to
give us partial list of the premiums awarded,
but at late hour last evening they were still
at work with closed doors. This morning the
cards announcing the premiums will be at
tached and the doors opened to the public.
Several gentlemen claim the largest number of
entries, but who has right to claim it is not
yet known.
There will be great rush of ladies and little
folks this afternoon, and this evening the
"feller and his girl" will attend. To see the
whole exhibition it would be well to start early
for it is quite an undertaking. The display of
dressed game and fowl in the corridor on the
first floor is the finest ever made in hall in
this city. Three of the turkeys weigh 10, 20
and 10 pounds respectively. There are num-
Der of well known poultry fanciers in attend
ance. Among others is Mr.. Rogers of Worces-
ter, the gentleman who took the prize dictiona-
ry last season. s
In Rossni Hall Mr.. d. K. Reed, the we'll
known caterer, has bountiful supply of
tempting eatables. The officers of the associa-
tion dine here at present, as their duties are
such that they are not able to leave the build
ing.

ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED Tonic
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservediy cele-
brated and popular medicines have effected revo-
luton in the healing art and proved the falacy of
several maxms which have for many years obstruct-
ed the progress of medical science. The false suppo-
sition that Consumption is incurable' deferred ply
sicans from attempting to find remedies for that dis
selves to death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be unavoidable
1t Is now proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of (some of them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in
other by the medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one
or both, according to the requirements Of the case
DIR. Sehenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. supposed,
at tme to be at the very gate of DEATH his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schencks
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making 1t not alb
solutey necessary to personally DIR, Schenck
less patients wish their lungs examined and for this
purpose he is professionally at his principal office,

dressed. Schencks medicines are sold by all drug

AMATEUR ENTERTAINMENT.-The dramatic
entertainment given for the benefit of the Fra
ternity by the G. 7. T. G. Club, drew a good
house at Music Hall last evening. The per-
Torrance was very creditable to an amateur
club. The two act drama entitled "Robert
Macaire' was played in admirable style. The
title role was assumed by Mr.. Field, while that
of Jacques Strap was taken by Mr.. Gosse. Mr..
| Field was not the bold, daring Macaire which
one is in the habit Of associating with this
| part, but rather subdued in his manner. In
the more quiet parts of the play he shows to
the best advantage. Strap, the weak, timid
dupe Of Macalre, was well portrayed by Mr..
Gosse, who brought down the house by his
comic antics Both of the gentlemen were
called before the curtain at the close of the first
act. Mr.. Woodman assumed the part of the
wealthy farmer in very acceptable manner.
Mr.. Stevens was a decided success as the head
waiter. Mr.. johnson was good as the servant.
Miss May Bryant made decided hit as the
| wife of Macaire Miss Whitman did what little
she had to do in fine style.
The performance closed with the farce o.
"Sarah's Young Man." with Miss Witham al
Sarah, Mr. Gogse as the young man, and Mis-
| Tarbox as Dora.
The Orpheus Symphony Club furnished the
orchestra of fifteen pieces. Although the clut
has not been organized but short time tthei
music was fine and received the applause
the audience. The Fraternity will net goo
sum from the entertainment.

Mr. EDrToR.-I notice in the Advertiser the
names of several gentlemen placed before the
Republican party as candidates for Mayor for
the centennial year. As it is desirable to know
who the men are, who being qualified to occu-
Ply the position, would accept the nomination
and at once command the respect of all citi
zens and the full vote of the Republican party,
allow me in addition to names already pub
lished, to suggest those Of Harrison j. Libby,
Esq, VIM. Hammond, Esq, and Thos. Shaw,
Esq, all men who have long been identified
with the business of the city,.
