Mr.. Beseher's Lecture.

Henry Ward Beecher. pastor Of Ply.
mouth Church, brooklyn. delivered his
lecture on the Wastes and Burdens Of
Society,"" in Piper's Opera House. vir-
giniA. lAt evening. The fame Of Mr..
Bsechsr made it certain in advance that
no would be greeted with q full house. and
nearly every seat on the lower door WAS
reserved. and sold. The audience which
assembled was one Of the finest that ever
gathered within the walls Of the new Opera
House. embracing the culture and relno-
ment Of Virginia and Gold Hill. The leo
turer WAS introduced and spoke for one
hour and twenty minutes, claiming the
undivided attention Of his hearers during
that time. Mr.. Beecher's oratory Is
not Of the flowery Kind which cre-
Ates frequent applause. His style
10 quiet. but intensely e~arnest. and he fas-
tens the attention of his hearers by en-
balming the truths which he presents in
simple. yet strong language. lie has .
fine command OF words and . marvellous
control over his features. Had he been
educated TO the stage. he would have made
Q brilliant record In the dramatic world.
He discussed his subject Last evening from
the standpoint Of political economy, TAX
ing but little account o1the moral aspects
Of his theme. The wastes which prey
upon society and reduce its power TO pro.
duce property. which Mr.. Beecher defines
a. "mattsr made To serve the want Of
man by the workings Of human intelli.
gence," no divides into several classes.
Among them are the weakness Of man aud
his premature death. caused by diseases
which might have been prevented with
proper care; the parasites. or idle, worth
less. vicious men. who consume tho pro-
ducts Of society. but do nothing 10 aid In
production; the ignorance Of tho lowest
stratum which prevents them from ever
rising beyond the capacity TO be mere
tools Of the moro intelligent; and tho habit
Of lying. which has became 90 general ~
to almost destroy all somblAncs Of cont.
dence between man and man. Each OF
these branches was taken up and dealt
with In detail. Tonight Mr.. Beecher will
give his final lecture. the subject being.
Tho Ministry Of Wealth."
