Miss May Chapman will give course of
lectures soon in this city on Phrenology. Lhe
Boston Journal says: "The lecture of May
Chapman before the Temperance Alliance at
Norwood, drew full house. She classed in
temperance with other vices, as one among
many having their cause in the violation of
the organic and moral laws of life. The lee
ture was thoughtful, just, and very suggestive,
covering good deal of ground and giving
people something to think of and remember
Any temperance course would do well to
secure lecture from May Chapman. Her
language is good and manner Of delivery easy
and impressive"

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA
RED RIDING HOOD.

RED RIDING HOOD.
The production of the juvenile operetta Oh
Red Riding Hood at City Hall, yesterday at
ternoon and evening, will be conceded to have
been the most successful of the long list OF adj
mirable entertainments given under the aus
pices of Bosworth Post. The overfiowing
house of the afternoon was handsomely sup
plemented by the crowded attendance in the
evening; and frequent applause attested the
pleasure afforded by exceptionally brilliant
tableaux and grouping; the graceful evolutions
of the juveniles in dance and drill, and the
uniform excellence of the music. Miss Ponds
reputation as vocalist was we'll maintained IN
solo and duet, while Messrs Edwards and
Cushing, the young Misses Farrell and Libby,
in their charming duet Der Wasserfall, and
little Miss Addie Pierce as Red Riding HOOD,
and others, received merited applause. 1t IS
a matter for congratulation that we have IN
our midst material for exhibitions so satistac-
tory and unexceptionable in all respects.

AT the annual dinner of the St. Georges So
ciety, lately held in Baltimore, "during the
course Of the evening Mr.. Crouch was called
upon, and seating himself at the piano sang
very pathetically tho touching numbers OF his
sweet ballad, kathleen Mavourneen." There
were those present who had heard him sing
thi. song 25 years ago, and were thrilled with
the pathos Of tremulous voice rendering the
plaintiye air and the tender words by the
venerable bard in his age. The poet wss toast

Memorial Church, was nllod at tho reopening
services last night. The audience. chamber
has been thoroughly renovated and now takes
Its place among the most comfortable churches
OF the city. Tho choir OF the Memorial Church,
under the leadership of Mr.. John Ii. Seiffert,
''The Lord is King" was nneiy rendered. as
an opening anthem. During the service Mr..
SeiTert and Mrs. Captain Bradford sang n duet.
The Invocation ss, was by the pastor, Rov; Mr.
16,h Psalm, and Rev. George A. Nixdorf, OF
Georgetown, made the prayer. Tho pastor, In
the opening address, dwelt upon the peculiar
difficulties Of the work undertaken-the gath.

population of the city, but, with the moral
support of the people, Is hopeful OF success.

character of his mission, not to make Sec

covered the cost OF the, improvements. Our
