 MIR. sPAULD1Na's LECTURES.
 Those who attended the very interesting lecture on 'tRisen Pompeii' obtained a very vivid impression of the daily life of the Ro- mans. The next lecture will be on subject kindred to that of the former one, viz, "The Roman House and Its Ornamental Paint ings." The lecture will be study of house. hold architecture and art among the Romans, in which MT. Spaulding will give a graphic description of the Roman house as it was in the Pompeian age, and by means of very beautiful colored views of the frescoes on the walls, faithfully copied after the originals, will show the wonderful wealth of ornamen- tation that beautified the houses of the buried city. Of these lectures the Springfield Re-
 o,tbl1ca11 lately said: "A scorn of popular lectures, lately become fashionable among people who aspire to reputation for schol- arship, would be quite misapplied to these delightful evenings with the ancients, which are the result of comparative study and thor ough research" On account of many special requests which have been made the next lec- ture will be shortened somewhat without greatly impairing it's value, and will close promptly at o'clock. Course tickets for the remaining four lectures can be obtained at Judd's bookstore for $1 and $1 50, ac- cording to location.
 HELEN PoTTER's PLEIADEs.
 The entertainment at Carlrs Opera House last evening was one of more than ordinary merit, as indicated by the high reputation of Miss Potter herself, the lady being so widely and favorably known in her profession as a superior artist and elocutionist. Her render ing of her selections last evening did not disappoint her audience, fully sustaining her record. The only regret was her infrequent appearance. The programme was, however, studded with other features, rarely attrac- tive, among them the superior music of the celebrated Eichberg quartette. the four young ladies composing it being all artistic violinists They were warmly applauded, and among the encores were two bestowed upon Miss Lettie Launder, she responding with the Mocking Bird song, giving exquisite imits tions of the mocking birds melody, causing an unyielding demand for second rendi- tion Miss Harriett Earnest's song, s.Bend of the River" evinced 8 warm tribute of sat- isfaction, she responding with "rve Something to Tell,'' equally pleasing. Her ''Shadow Song" was very sweetly given. Mir. Oscar M. Newell, the pianist, the same who gave charming piano recitals each even ing at the National Academy of Design, New York, during last springs exhi- bition, evinced high order of talent in his ''Trovatero Grand Fantasia'' from Gottschalk, and to his encore responded with ''The Last Hope'' by GottschaIk. Mir Newell was pupil of that gifted pianist. He l goes to Philadelphia soon to fill an engage l ment for piano recitals at the five weeks ex- hibition of the Academy of the Fine Arts in that city. Helen Potter's imitation of John B. Cough, her concluding number, was a strik- ingly natural and successful impersonation Helen Potter's Pleiades again at the same place this afternoon and evening.
