Editors Of the Richmond Dispatch:
The Rev. DR.. Hoge, Of your city, made
his lecture OH 1.-THE Land Of the Midnight
Sum- to cultivated and appreciative audi
ence to-day, at the Presbyterian church
here.
To the student OF physical geography,
or the curious into the history Of race de-
yeopment. or the plain lover Of pictured
scenes OF the wild and romantic, this grand
panoramic view OF rugged Norsland is a
rare and exquisite treat.
The real charm OF the lecture is the SIM
plicity with which the subject is handled;
the varied and great number OF the sug-
gestions: the mingling of pathos and quiet
humor with gorgeous descriptions OF scenes
where Nature in her toughest mood has
thrown out the giant rocks and the eternal
waters: the picture OF the white and red
snow on Norwegian mountains, and the
Kitchens OF varied hues which, clnging to
great bouldcrs, make them seem fine car
pets on the mountain sides.
4 hundred things in the lecture we try
in vain to recall ut once; from the begin
ming, where he shows these fierce Norman
'buckancerS and warriors OF the main" to
have infused into our own gentle Saxon
ancestors the blood and spirit which made
Brittania "ruler OF the wave" to the end,
where, standing at midnight on the highest
northern land, with the sun Just touching
the horizon in the north before him, with
all Europe and Asia behind him, he photo
graphs the scene in dazzling splendor, the
interest and attention OF the most careless
nearer is absorbed.
He spoke an hour and half, and would
have been heard with the same interest an
hour longer, many OF the audience declar-
ing that he had not spoken thirty minutes.
lie went back this evening to Richmond,
having to lecture in Fredericksburg to-mor-
row night. g.
