From Fridays Daily.
Madame BrOwIoEy.

From the Reno Gazette we learn that
this lady-who delivered a most inter.
esting lecture TO "A very small audience
al Granger Hall a few evenings ago
Ia the highly accomplished widow OF a
Prussian nobleman who came to this
country with a large fortune, and by
engaging in business for which he was
in nowise adapted, gradually lost his
possessions and his health, and only a
few days ago died in California, leaving
his wife with two children to maintain
without means and among strangers. as
they had but recently come west from
Chicago. BY the sale OF her very few
effects, a trihe was realized, and with
her little ones, the lady is now strivi ng
to reach Chicago, where she has some
acquaintance. Her small means being
exhausted on reaching Rene, she OBJ
tanned from the result Of n lecture upon
the su oject presented here on the occa-
sion referred to, the means 10 proceed
on her journey, but on reaching here
found herself unable 10 proceed further,
being again almost destitute. Her Oh.
ject is to acquire the means TO take her
self and children to Chicago, and for
TINT purpose will deliver an interesting
and instructive lecture-exclusiyeiy TO
ladies-at 2 o'clock tomorrow evening,
at Granger Hall.
Those who heard her discourse upon
" Russia, Poland and Personal Romi.
n]isconces Of Siberian Exile" were so
much interested that they have requested
her to repeat it On Sunday at the
Church; the trustees having rendered
the use OF tho building for that pur.
pose. That the lady is worthy Of assist.
ance, and that she is amply able TO In,
struct and deeply interest an intelligent
audience, thCro ID no room for doubt.
