sam Houston and His Times.

Last night General George A. sheridan
delighted very large audience at the opera
House. Although but few hours notlce
was given of the lecture, the Opera nouse
was filled with the very best people OF our
city. The lecture is splendid production,
and delivered as Sheridan delivers 1t: a rare
Intellectual treat. After hearing 1t, We are
not surprised at the comments OF the Iexas
press. Sheridan briefly traces Houst on frsm
his birth to his death; pictures him IN the
various positions he accepted during MS
long life; shows the wonderful characters
tics of the man infvery phase OF his career,
and then enters into q philosophical ana'y'
els of Houston, showing how the race from
which he came, the peculiar era in which
his character was formed, and the influence
of the men who surrounded him, combined
to produce the peculiar characteristics that
dietin guished him.
! The entire lecture was listened to with
the closest attention. Sheridan's Sam

Ordinary s'lecture;" it should rather be
ranked as a great GRAFTON. No one who
heard it will ever forget its splendid die
