In accordance with previous arrange
mcnts and notice, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton delivered her popular lecture on
washington Women" at the Court
House last Tuesday evening. There was
a large and appreciative audience pres.
cnt, and about quarter past eight O'Clock,
Mrs. Stanton in company with Maj. Clark
and family appeared. Mr.. Clark intro
duced her to the audience, and she com
menccd her lecture. We regret that we
are unable to give synopsis OF her re-
marks. Her lecture was an earnest elo-
quent, forcible argument on the subject
of "Womans Rights" Her illustrations
were well drawn, and her arguments, it
appears to us well-nigh unanswerable.
She has pleasant way of speaking
which interests all her hearers. We
heard her some three or four years ago
but it seems to us that she has improved
since then She was frequently applaud
ed, and we have heard but one opinion
expressed by those who were present,
and that was that it was the best lecture
they ever heard on the subject.
To Mr. 7. J. Sweat belongs the credit
of making all the necessary arrangements
for our citizens enjoying this lecture.
lie shouldercd the responsibility of pay
ing the lecturer and all the expenses Of

pleased to state that the receipts were
sufficient to pay all bills. He expects to
arrange for other lecturers in the future,
and We hope he will be as successful as
he has been this time.

Practical Questions Settled about the
Centennial Exhibition.

As there is considerable doubt express
cd throughout the country as to the Cen
tcnnial Exhibition being rcacy to open
on the tenth of May we have taken pains
to inform ourselves on the subject, and
| give as authority some extracts from the
official report of John Welsh, Esq, Pres
ident of the Board of Finance, which has
lust been published. On the spoint of
readiness 1t says:
notwithstanding hindranccs to our
progress, our buildings and grounds are
in an unusual state Of forwardrcss as
| compared with those of ether Internal
| tional Exhibitions at q corresponding
time; nor will they prevent the punctual
observance OF the appointed day for open
ing, 10th of May"
On the subject of hotel accommoda-
tons, the report says:
AT one moment great anxiety was felt
| lest there should he a scarcity of accom-
modations for visitors. 1t has been en-
tircly removed. Hotels of very large ca
pacity have been erected in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the exhibition and through
out the city. Old ones have been en-
| larged and by the agency OF an enter
prising association very large numbers of
private dwellings, Of which Philadelphia
has sixty thousand more than any other
American city, have been utilized for the
! purpose; so that under no probable cir
cumstances can any Inconvenience occur
| for want of comfortable accommodations.
"The strongest assurance is also felt
that the charges will be moderate"
In the matter of the charge for admit
lance, a fifty-cent note paid at the gate
admits to the grounds, and there is no
| further charge A visitor can enter one
building or all Of them as he sees proper.
We quote the text of the report touching
ing this question:
IN the arrangements connected with
the entrance and exit of visitors, "xhib
! tors, and employees, the greatest simple
! ity has been aimed at. Each class will
use special gates. The ticket for visitors
will be a .ffty-cent note, and if not in the
possession of the visitor it can be obtain
ed in exchange for other money at an
office near each gate of entrance. Chill
dren pay the same as adults. 10 vary
from uniform price entails so many in
convenienccs as to forbid it. Fifty cents
! for nine hours visit to museum OF the
products of the world, distributed among
beautiful buildings and on grounds OF
surprising attractions, must be satisfac-
tory to every one. Such exhibitors and
employees as are required on the grounds
will be furnished with special tickets.
| Properly authorized representatives of
the press, within reasonable limits, will
be recognized as entitled to free admis-

We grumble i'll the gale that freezes
He gave p,cnitude of reasons
Why Spring was best of all the seasons
We, in experience sadly versed.
Proclaim it cvermoFe the worst;
He might have made 4 neater job
If he had known our friend, Old Prob
Had studied closer the thermometer,
Wet bulb and dry, and hygrometer
And placed-as we do-his reliance
On fancy less and more on science.
Ethereal mildness! Yes. indeed!
Jim Thompson, how absurd you read!
II you had known one hour to Ilague you,
4 modern sguare-toed fever'n ague,
You'd writ instead of blessings curses.
Or burnt your out-of-sca7on verses.
You may have found your mild ethereal
In half land half. or worse material
But we in these cool mornings shiver
In listers yet, and cry-dsliver
Our persons. mental and corp0real,
From frogs and rains and breezes boreal--
But s;opl The chilly log is lifting
From East to South the wind is shifting
The sun comes out, the clouds takes wing ;
Old Thorn, your right-Hurrah for Spring
