Hon. L. Il. Washburnc af the Opera

Last evening, although the weather wa.
stormy and most disagreeable, large and
appreciative- audience greeted Hon. L. b
Washburne, Gen, Grants first Secretary OF
State, and Ex-Minister TO France, to hear his
famous lecture 1.-The Siege of Paris" which
be witnessed. He was introduced to the au-
dience by Col. ID. r Anthony, as ''an Amer.
lean citizen honored at home by the people
and by the monarchs of Europe, and as one
who while abroad never forget that he was
an American"
On taking his place in the rear of the stand
which was covered with the stars and stripes,
he appeared TO the best advantage. His fig
ure Is imposing, and his smoothly shaven
face gave the audience ample opportuni-
" to scan his features infinitely,
hair, which is almost white,
gives his general appearance a venerable
cast while his general bearing contains just
enough of dignity TO command the respect
which his ability, education and experience
demands. He was dressed in plain but be-
coming suit oil black, and when he begun his
lecture his manner, although unassuming
was striking the extreme.

Terrible Accident.

4 heartrending accident occurred at the
residence of Mr.. John Phillips, in Kickapoo
township, yesterday afternoon about one
o'clock. Mr.. Phillips was employed in a
lumber yard in this city, and the first news
of the disaster reached him about half past
two O'Clock, and he at once hurried home on
horseback. on his arrival he found his little
five-year old daughter in the agonies of
death, produced by fire, the cause of which
will probably never be known. Mrs Phillips,
having occasion to visit a neighbor not lar
distant, left the little one with another child
two years of age. After an absence of about an
hour she returned home and found the eldest
of the two with its cloihing burned off and
its flesh burned to a crisp. No cause could he
found for the fearful accident that has been
reported. Medical aid was summoned as
soon as possible, but il was thought late last
evening that the child could not live.
