National Theatre.
"Thc World, after extensive prepara-

Matinees tomorrow and Friday.
j. Barron Hope.
This distinguished orator and composer
will, by request, recite at Lincoln Hall to-
morrow night his famous Yorktown Cen
tennial poem. 1t will afford all an oppor-
tunity of hearing grand production, which
was so enthusiastically received on its origi-
nal delivery on the field where CORVALLIS
surrendered. Seats at Ellis music store.
Oscar wilde.
The wonderfully too too esthete, Oscar
Wilde, the now reigning sensation, will
lecture to o-night at Lincoln Hall on "The
English Renaissance" He will doubtless
have crowded houses, as the demand for
seats has been enormous. A few choice
seats can be secured this afternoon at Metze-
rotts.
The Post yesterday published cartoon
which Mr.. Wildes friends consider a de-
liberate insult. The following communi-
cation was sent to the editor of the Post,
but its publication was declined. At the
request of Mr.. Wilde's friends we publish
the letter:
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1882.
To the Editor Washington Post:
SIR / noticed in to-day's Post cartoon
which is an insult to gentleman announced
TO lecture here under the management Of Mr..
r. D'Oyly Carte.
This seems to me to be senseless oxhibi-
tion of petty malignity and gratuitous malice
which, both for the credit OF your paper and
American journalism, might well have been
omitted.
When q spolnker has declared himself before
his audience then he becomes legitimate
10 prejudice him In advance, without the
shadow OF a reason, must merit and receive
the condemnation of all who can comprehend
that ill-taste and bad judgment do not i'm
prove the columns of any reputable paper.
Very truly yours, W. T. Morse,
Business Manager for II. D'Oyly Carte.
