The oftes,s Wheel.

Prof.. Potnam's lecture on the Potters Wheel
and its products, delivered at the Grand Army
Hall last evening, was discourse which should
have commanded many more listeners. Con-
sidering the interest affected in pottery in this
city, we had reason to expect large audience
for the words of an authority on the ceramic
art; bat our decorators ara apparently con-
tent with knowledge enough to enable them to
paste decalcom ania upon pots.
No one really interested in the ceramic art
could fail to enjoy the lecture. 1t was setting
forth in fitting language Of the historic value
of pottery, of the great light Its history throws
upon the progress of civilization from the time
when the first rude representation of the pot
ter's wheel was scrawled on the pyramids to
the time when Wedgewood made his marvellous
reproduction of the Portland vase In connec-
ton with this historic sketch, or as part of it,
description was given of the best known
fabrics, illustrated by specimens of the most
famous wares. The lecture was in fact an
object-esson, the development in forms being
shown by actual work on the wheel, and in
outlines of decoration by sketches on the
blackboard The lecturer is an enthusiast in
his chosen field of study and has the faculty of
communicating to the audience his own interest
in the subject. He is trife too rhetorical at
times, but one readily pardons that. Even
those parts of the lecture most familiar to the
audience were so entertainingly delivered that
they were as good as new. Indeed, so pleased
were the auditors that they gathered about him
at the close of the lecture and insisted that he
should talk to them half.an-hour longer.
Could he be induced to deliver course of lee
lures in this city, he would in all probability
attract large houses.
In the course of the lecture Professor Put
nam gave an account of a conversation he had
recently with Mr.. Longfellow, who assured
him that the potter turning his wheel under
the hawthorn, described In "Keramos," is a
| "reminiscences of the poets boyhood in Portland.
The potter was Mr. Dodge. Professor Putnam,
by the way, is anxious to secure one of the
| green flower pots which were turned out by
Mr.. Dodge Even shari would be acceptable
The nature of the glaze used is mystery which
is now commanding the attention of students
| of the ceremic art. The shard may bs left
with the Portland Stone Ware Company.
In conclusion the lecturer paid some warm
| compliments to the work of the Portland
Stone Ware Company and showed beautiful
specimens of the wares produced by other
American potteries The parian and porcelain
specimens from New Jersey were very fine.

A WORTHY SoCIETY.-The time has arrived
when the annual subscriptions for the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are
due and it is earnestly hoped by the many
friends of this most humane charity that the
responses will be prompt and liberal The So
ciety as is well known does great deal of good
in this vicinity, and it is of vital Importance
that it should be sustained. The expenses are
necessarily quite large, while the returns are
few. The eficientagent, Mr.. Sawyer, is bound
to answer all calls although they are often made
at quite an expense. There has been marked
difference in the treatment of animals since
the organization of this society, and as it pro-
eresses.from year to year the difference will be
still greater. Every lover of animals should
do something to aid this society, viii Oh is q
friend to the brute creation.
