The managers of the Redpath Lyceum
Bureau, in a special circular, issued for
the benefit of Mrs. Dainty. say:
cit is seldom that Lyceum Bureau
has the pleasure OF presenting the name
of candidate, for the public patronage
whose ability and qualifications are of
such an order, that they can do so with
out fear OF overestimating the talents of
the person named, or Understanding
the Requirements Of Intelligent, and fash
ionable audiences. 1t is a rare occur
renee for the managers of this Bureau to
fully endorse, and become personally
responsible, for the success of any pub
lie reader or lecturer, and We take great
pleasure in the present case, in departing
from our established custom. In pre-
senting the name of Mrs. Dainty to the
lecture committees, and Lyceum associa-
tons of the West, we do SO with full
confidence that neither The generous
public nor ourselves will be disappointed

ut is now little more than a year since Mrs.
Dainty at a SOuth-side church, made her first
public appearance as an amateur reader. With
in this period her progress has been little less
than marvellous Petite in figure, with a sad
face, mobile contenance. and rich flexible
voice, she seems especially fitted to become an
interpreter of the pathetic and humorous, To
which the pathetic is SO closely allied.-GhicagO

Mr.. A. J. Burdette has made himself
so famous, by his wittioisms and whimsi-
calities in the Huntington HaWkeye,"
that his name has become household
word. He is no less popular as Lect-
urer, than rs journalist. He will
deliver here, his side-sphtting lecture
entitled, "The rise and fall of the mus
tache."
The lecture of II. J. Burdette, of the Burling-
ton Hawkege,' last Friday evening on The rise
and Fall of the Mustache," was decidedly the
best humorous lecture we ever heard. reoIl-
lar stream Of rich quiet humOr, mingled with
occasional rare bits of pathoS flowed on for two
hours, and when il ceased the audience wished
there was more; we nave heard III our time OF

Mrs. Susan b. Anthony, the we'll
known and lifelong advocate of "Wom-
ans Rights" will deliver her great lee

FULL OF GENTALTTY AND SUNsHrNE.-The
event of the week in DcIevan was the lecture
OF Susan b. Anthony. People have heard SO
many sharp, causiic sayings of Susan, that they
are inclined to set her down us all vinegar and
vitriol, whereas she is fun of geniality and
She is not an angular looking an
Gent lady, bat woman of fine physique and
commanding presence. II is true that her Sar-
caSm Is US keen as a razor but her wit il as
bright as. diamond-hilted dagger-and her
irony is perfectly whitening and inimitable. In
fact, Susan Anthony has one of the brightest
iutcllects on the American rostrum to-day,

nearly all parties and classes come
under her lash-but 10y her wealth of thought

view she is a bright ornament TO American

HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY IN CHICAGO. Hun
dreds OF disappointed people We're turned away
from the Opera House yesterday, who had
hoped to hear Miss Anthony. The lecture was
a powerful appeal for morality and for women

Few men and probably no woman but Miss
Anthony, could have dealt with the subjects

Prof. r. L. Cumnock is too well
known, and too much admired by the
citizens of Manitowoc, to need any ad-
ditional, recommendation from us, or
any press notices to reiterate what they
already know. We will only say, it gives
us extreme pleasure to be able to present
you again with our old friend.
Col. Augustus jacobson, will deliver
his humorous lecture, entitled Cash.
Two years ago, Col. Jacobsen was com
paratively unknown as lecturer, he was
up to that time pursuing the practice of
law III Chicago, but since he has mounted
the rostrum, he is fast gaining the repu-
tation of being one of the wittiest men
dorsed by the managers of the Bureau.
We have great number of testimonials
of which the following is fair sample.
WHEATON, Ill.-Eli Perkins, Josh Billings and
Mark Twain have all visited Wheaton, or, at
least some of them have; but all put together,
they can't make any more fun than Colonel
jacobson did last Thursday evening.-ChicagO

HENRY l.. SLAYTON, ESQ.,
Dear SRI have heard COL Jacobson's lecture
on Cash and take pleasure in expressing my
great satisfaction with the performance. The
discourse abounds in genuine wit, sound practI-
cal sense, amusing anecdotes, etc, and his man
ner of delivery is admirable. The subject under
his treatment is sure TO command appreciative
audiences-especially in these times.
Very Respectfully Yours,
