PROFESSOR PRocToH's LECTURE. - Pro-
lessor r. a. Proctor, the eminent English
astronomer, is to lecture before the Sacra-
mento Literary Institute this evening on
astronomy. His lecture viii be illustrated
with views shown through the medium of the
stereopticon. Professor Proctor is now en-
route for London from an eight-months' lee
ture and observation tour in Australia and
New Zealand He was in San Francisco last
spring on his way out, and efforts were made
TO have him lecture here then, but failed, and
but one lecture probably can be secured now
He has made three visits to the United States,
in 1873, 1875 and 1S79-S0, and in that time de-
Hyered nearly $50 lectures. He is a speaker
of eloquent powers, is fluent, and possesses
the art of deeply interesting his auditors in
whatever ne has TO say. In an extended re-
view Of his lecture course, an Eastern journal
thus concisely sums up Professor Proctor
Is not only one Of the greatest of living as
lfOupulbI5, DuI IS fortunate IN having the
power OF lmpart,ng knowledge in degree not
5quailsd by any living astronomer. His
style is as lucid as the light with which he
deals so largeiy."
