The club will perform on this occasion Tom

resemble in construction and plot the new play,
married in Haste" now running at WalIack's

days Of lone part" plays TO see comedy in which
all the characters, as In this piece, are good; and
familiar with the talents Of this organization will
be sufficient assurance that the minor parts will
be rendered with the same intelligence and con-

enough to pay for the half effort of Barney Nc.
Nulty and the appearance three times of John
Robinson on the stage. The male element of the
show this week is altogether too strong, and the
redeeming feature of the Freeman sisters was,
ior some reason, wanting in spirit, especially In
thelr third encore. Those who wish to see the

ostrande,'s Oriental Lectures.

The first Of the series OF lectures on Oriental
scenes and customs, to elucidato Bible express
sions, by Rev. j. S. Osirander, of New York, was
given az the Conereg atIOnal church last evening.
He first came on the platform alone, attired as q
venerable Arab sheish, and gave Z short intro
ductoTy address, saying thai everything In the
East seems to have been steTeotyped or crystal
lied Tor ages as If God had purposely kept every
thing there In Stciu quo, as q standing proof 10
skeptics OF the truth Of Scripture. Taking then, q
pair Of rude cymb balls he gave specimen of Arab
music, Of which, he said, little would go good
ways. At this point procession of about thirty
ladies, gentlemen and children filed IN from the
lecture-room and ranged themselves on the plat
form. Each was clad in some distinctive Oriental
costume, representing the Jewish high priest,
Pharisee and Publican, Roman soldier. BedouIn
and Egyptian fellah, Druses and Bsthlehemites,
both men and women, attTed in every particular
like the very classes spoken Of in the Bible.
Mr.. q. described the different portions of each
costume, and as they went through the operations
the salasm. OF b0Tipg in prayer, treading 1.-THE
wine-press, women grinding corn and serving at a
feast, ect.. and wedding, he explained the sis-
Scripture referring to them. The whole enter

OF Public Interest.

For thirty years there has been noimprovemcnt
in tie composition Of porous plaster. The re-
cent discovery Of Capcine and its addition TO an
improve porous plaster has introduced to the
consun ers and the ublic an article Of progress.
The objection 10 the ordinary article is its slow
action. BENsoN's CAPCINE Porous PLASTER
o7ercemes this great objection by etiecting in
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster &c.
ctmplishes In days and weeks OF continuous wear.
BENSON s CAPClNE PORoUs PLA STEERS are pre-
ttrred 70 all others on the following grounds:
trst-Their composition Is of an improved na-
ture, ard combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
ctne-Hhleb, as powerful and unerring
specific, has never been equaled in the
history of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vigor, bring almost i'm
mediate relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, liniment or compound.
Seeond-They possess all the merit of the ordi.
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and Will cure all the various difficulties
Tor which they have been esteemed In as
many hours as the ordinary article
effects in days and weeks of continuous
wear.
Third-They are q genuine pharmaceutical pre-
paration, skilltully combined, of the
hghest order OF merit, purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
poisons, indorsed by physicians and are
In no sense patent medicine.

4 Defe iss Of Ex-Govsrnor Davis a. Rsrub-

WASHINGTON, d. O., Jan. 80, 1876.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Jan. 80, 1876.
To the Editor OF the National RsDus3teaa:
SIR: l am a regular reader Of your paper, but
somehow did not see the Issue Of the 2Iih instant
until last evening, when my attention was called
to an article which It contained concerning Texas
affairs. 1 cannot allow It to pass without chal-
lepging some OF Its statements. This article was
evidently written for the purpose OF weakening
the influence of Governor Davis with the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, by making them believe
that Gen. Davis is in league with the ex-Confed-
crate Democracy Of Texas to remove from oflce
sound ard worthy Republicans. Tho absurdity
OF this is so obvious that deem Il q waste Of
time to give Il marc than g moments notice.
Edmund ]. Davis is known throughout the State
as an extreme and an uncom promising Repuolt.
can. He is so unpopular with the Democracy as
an impossibihty. know nothing of his difhculty
with Major PurneD, but know he Is the last
man who would seek the removal Of any one on
personal grounds; therefore / dis5elieye the
charge that his opposition 10 Purnell is based on
personal enmity.

questionable, and who sre incapable OF render.
ing the party any service. They have filled
great many Of the subordinate places under
them with men who do not support or sympa-
tbiLe with the Repu blican party. These are the
persons Governor Davis desires the Administra-
Texas Voter" Of consptripg with the ex-Confed-
crate Democracy. It is not he alone who seeks
lne removal OI lbese useless anC unnL men. Inc
masses Of the party demand it, and think their
wishes should receive a little more consideration
than the protest Of Texas Voter who possi-
bly, Is a member OF the ring. If Governor Davis
is bogus Republican" and in alliance with
the eN.Confederates, it will be news to the Re-
publicans in the State, as they have Just re-
elected him chairman OF the State Executive
Committee, which never could have taken place
unless he enjoyed their respect and confidence
If you ask why Davis is not popular, the only
answer can make fs that while Governor of the
State he would not allow his present abusers and
calumniators to oplunder the treasury and increase
the burdens of taxation. In the interest of truth
and justice, ask the publication of this article
