One is certainly meeting with cpl
sodes that w ould hardly be conceived
outside Of a sensational romance, and
while it is conceded that the talented
novelist must be "mind reader" as
the new order Of clairvoyants areI
termed, we women folks, who are the
best supporters Of this class of litera-
ture, cannot fail to be struck with the
number of incidents born of the writ
egs' brain that afterwards really occur.
In some cases this is marvellous. For
instance, after the weary wanderings
in Central Africa Of Captain Spoke,
Parker, Livingstone, and Stanley, it is
discovered that the source Of the Nile,
and other geographical wonders have
been fully described by the author Of
Robinson Cruso," years and years ago,
and that these descriptions are wonder
! fully correct. Several months ago, [
took up a cheap boys story paper in
which the geographical description of
Africa lis a revelation, and compari
son with Stanley's book ON the subject,
since published, shows it to be aston
Iishingly correct. No wonder that the
WRITERS of boys stories die young"
Twas the cynical remark Of celebrated
lliteratuer, and only to consider the
lamount of sterling information of dis

his efforts here Last Sunday before the
American Temperance Union, and on
Monday commenced his regular ser

evening lectures at the Seventh Street
Methodist Church. He has met with
wonderful success. At the MONDAY

opened for their accommodation. He
has met with hearty assistance, and
even ,ealr great dailies, who do not u.s.

This congregation into "cNoWded audi

best but adisplay of Oradorical pyro-

shocking disclosures he had to make,

And not only has he completely tired
out his Audiences by unkept prom

wrath Of his BROTHER ministers upon

THEATRES.
Mr.. Wallack introduced a new play
on Saturday afternoon. Nov. 10th.
called "Our Club" It is written by
Mr.. F. c. Barnard, author Of the Ride
to Khidu," and other humorous stories.
In placing it thus unannounced before
the public, Mr. Wallack executed q
very shrewd maneuvre by producing
it to the audience without any press
reporters to give its full representa-
ton, so that when they see it the
charm of perfect manipulation in
shifting scenes, without loss of time
or weary waiting they will be better
qualified to give its full merits. | hear
