prof carn,icbae1,s Lecture

PROT Carmichael's lecture last night on
Flame" in the hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association, was one of the most in
teresting and instructive lectures to which we
have ever listened and yet it was within the
comprehension of the youngest person present.
An extended analysis is out of the question;
suffice it to say that it showed by experiments
that oxygen supports and extends flame; that
cal bonic acid entinguishes flame and is heavy
enough to be poured out like liquid. and that
hydrogen burns with dull but hot flame. A
candle and benzine lamp were lighted and the
different parts of the flame were shown. On
the outside of the fame were shown the by
drogen and within that the carbon which
heated to white heat, is the brilliant part of
the fame He then introduced phosphorus
and gunpoWder into the centre OF the Hame
and showed that they would not burn and
that there was no heat there. He pext showed
that if our earth was surrounded by illuminat-
ing gas we should be seeking air to burn In the
gas provided we could live there. The principle
of Sir Humphrey Davey's safety lamp was ex-
planned and a burning candle was shown to
add weight to the vessel in which it burned.
Flame and air from our lungs produce car
bonic acid and water Several minerals were
burned, each showing its particular color,
which enables the chemist to detect the differ
emit elements in any substance by means OF the
spectroscope. The next experiment PROVED
that heat and motion are reciprocal. Two lead
balls striking against each other may destroy
the motion of both but energy is not lost fol
they are heated when motion ceases. He
showed examples of the sensitive flames and
that the sunlight was the source OF all the en-
ergy on the earth.

"The Indian Question:" as it now stands,
sphynx-like before the people, is this: How
can the Indian be subject to the United States
and also owe no allegiance to the United
States? How can he belong to a separate ma
tionality, and at the same time have no nation
al rights? How can he be outside any juris-
diction of the United States and also be its
ward and dependant? How can it be that
while the dominion of the United States ex-
tends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, all ma
tional prerogatives are continually liable to be
INSTRUCTED in certain regions, SO that special
act of Congressis required for each separate
step of enterprise and discovery? How is it,
that in large tracts of the most fertile lands.
the development of mines and needful COM
merce and exchange of merchandise are for
hidden to citizens, and the civil rights of pre-
lection to life, liberty and property guaranteed
by the Constitution, are of no avail, while at
the same time in these regions nearly half a
million men. women and children are not al.
loaced to own houses or lands, not permitted to
90 and come not at liberty to buy and SELL un-
able to obtain redress for injuries and not
amenable to penalties when transgressing the
rights of others. This is the Indian Question
There is no solution to such prooiem; lis
| construction is absurd and impossible.
The foundation upon which our Indian poll
| cy claims to rest no longer exists, and the con-
| tinuance of this baseless system gives rise to
| complications. which are homogeneous in their
| absurdity and as they affect the lives and souls
of human beings, are appalling in their mus
| tice.
| The Poncas say-'Law is Liberty" and IL
| may be added that no tyranny is SO relentless
| and rremediable as anarchy.

ROLLER SKATING RINK.
The Grand Bon Bon Party.

Next in order of notable events at this popu-
lar place of amusement is the grand bon bon
party which occurs Tuesday evening, 18th.
This is new departure in the line of entertain
ments at the rink, and, according to the
favor with which they are received at Kinks
elsewhere, it will prove very interesting en-
tainment here. The mode of conducting this
party is as follows: At 9 o'clock the skaters
will all form circle around the rink when
they will each be present ted with an attractive
bon bon; then at signal from the cornet they
will all snap them in unison and don them,
wearing them the remainder of the
evening. The great variety and brilliant col
ors of these being worn together will make a
novel and pleasing spectacle, and will no
doubt attract a large and delighted crowd.
Great credit is due the management Tor the
zeal they have shown in producing novel and
brilliant entertainments for their patrons.

Sullivan ever wrete. The sale of seats has
been large Wednesday evening "The Muske-
teers" will be performed for the first time in

amusing situations; the action is bright and
stirring and the music, although unpreten-
tious, full of grace and refinement combined
with real tunefulness Thursday evening the
''Chimes of Normandy will be sung, in which
Mr.. Whitney has made great part OF the mi
ser. Steckbridge is selling tickets rapidly.

presentation of border life, introducing real
Indians in war paint, and feathers. Mr.. Cody
gives a remarkable exhibition of rife shoot
ing. The war songs and dances of the Indians
caught the house last evening and the per-
formance gave entire satisfaction throughout.

these plays to render further account unneces-
sary. Of course Mr. Cody had large audi
ence
THE FREE STREET MUSICALE.
The entertainment at the Free street church
sociable Thursday evening, under the auspi-
ces of the Ladies' circle was delightful.
Chambers orchestra furnished instrumental
music. Ten ladies in elaborate old-fashioned
costumes assisted by six gentlemen in ordina-
ry dress made up chorus which rendered
number of old psalm tunes in the style of for
mer days They sang such pieces as old "In-
vitation,'' ''Sherburne,'' Complaint" "Sons
of zion," "Cousin Jedediah," etc. Miss Win
chester gave reading which was listened to
with close attention. Mr.. David Moulton gave
some recitations in his inimitable manner,
which were enthusiastically received and
heartily applauded. Mrs. Halves sang 'sNight-
ingale trilp' and for an encore "Comiag thro'
the Rye" She afterwards sang "Katie
Strang,' sweet Scotch song. Mrs. Halves
is no stranger to the Free street people and
her fine singing was thoroughly appreciated.
She was in excellent voice last evening. The
entertainment closed with "Auld Lang Syne"
by the chorus.
THE LYCEUM.
An excellent entertainment was that of last
evening, and finely attended. Miss Zaila and
Lottie Ward take the cake" and are great
favorites with their patrons. The last chances
