The lectures Of Mrs. Matilda Fletch-
er, notwithstanding the Indictment
weather, were attended by select and
appreciative audiences. Her subject
for the first evening was.."The law oi
happiness" She condemned our pun
lie school system in very severe terms
for its incomplete and unsatisfactory
instruction in the elementary
branches. She said the people Of thi-
age are afflicted with the higher edu-
cation" idea To the detriment and neg
lect Of the element ,ry branches; that
il was heraldei IT, the worii with ex
CARNATIONS of surprise and applause,
aud IL was considered one If the
wonders of the ag.', when Darwin wen
To south America and discovered t.
small re,l-eyed bug; but. when
woman discovers something new in
the culinary art, ii very seldom goes
beyond the walls uf her own home.
and TO say the least, well prepared
meal was equal TO r.,l.eyed bug. On
Friday evening she treated of the mis-
takes of Ingersoll. Although this
lecture was, in many respects, inferior
to the lecture of the previous night.
still il was one that showed great
thought and study.

with copy, but managed to take in
the situation occasionally. Henry wa

The announcement made at the u atinee
that Mr.. Booth would play "Iago" last night
excited great applause, and so eager was
everyone to see him in this subtle creation
that by Z o'clock every seat down stairs had
been sold, and the audience assembled last
night was as brilliant as at any performance
but that Of The FOOLS Reue19e. The Mozart
Society were kind enough to give way when
they heard that there was a desire to
hear the great tragedian again last night
The selection of Shskespeare's epic OF jeal-
ousy met with general approval The mas
ter dramatist has drawn no subtler charac-
ter than that of 'Iago." At the hands OF
many actors it has received very unfair
treatment. Shakespeare did not intend him
to be a palpable villain; and Mr.. Booth,
realizing this, has made of him manly
rogue. In this character the ability Of the
actor was shown in a new light. In the ha-
seems to be an honest villain; so
shrewd are his calculations, so true are
his simulations of unselfshness, and yet 20
nicely do all the odds and ends of his
scheme combine to its successful outcome
that ones ideas of right and wrong become
for a moment chaotic. Mr.. Booth has GER
tairSy caught the true Spirit of intellectual
evil; and, like everything he has given Us,
