Matthew Arnold lectured at Washington
Monday evening on "Science and Ltera-
tuIe," snd after he had concluded Secretary
Chandler, who presided, called upon Rev. E.
e. Hale, Commissioner Loring, William
Walter Phelps and Fred Douglass to speak
on the olher side of the question. 1t is diff
ficuit to say who were the most dazed by
this performance, Mr.. Arnold or the men
called upon to speak. Mr.. Chandler is said
to have intended it as joke; but some of
those present appear to have regarded it as
an impertinence. All the gentlemen called
upon declined to say anything beyond ex-
pressing their thanks to the lecturer.

Having exhausted the political possibili-
ties OF Mr.. Blaine's Washington house the
newspapers have turned their attention to
Mrs Blaine. A correspondent reports see
ing her walking on the street the other day
with Mrs Logan, and Immediately, on the
strength of this fact, his journal was in
formed that Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Logan had
formed an alliance to crush the Arthur
"boom." Such evidence as this is not east
ly contradicted, but the correspondents
might be confused if Mrs. Blaine or Mrs.
Logan should take Miss Nellie Arthur out
for drive

The Oxford Democrat gives an interesting
report OF the proceedings of the Farmers
Institute at South Paris on the 18th instant !:
but we are perpIexed by statement report
ed to have been made by one of the
speakers, who discoursed concerning the
profits of poultry raising. He presented
statistics showing that the poultry products
OF the country are more valuable than the
wheat crop or the hay crop. That is sur
prising, perhaps; but we are willing to be-
lieve it. The next assertion, however, fairly
makes the hair stand on end. The report
continues as follows: Enormous as is the
number of eggs produced, the consumption
is much greater than the supply Is this

when they thought they were eatings eggs?

have undertaken an agitation against the
adulteration of food to give immediate al.
tention to this matter.

At the Theatre-BarOn Seeman's second
Night Performance.

The second evening performance Of
Baron Seeman's engagement in Savannah
was attended by 4 larger audience than
the first night. and the entertainment was
equally as satisfactory. The illusion acts
were all original and skillfully performed,
one Of the principal features of the pro-
gramme. beyond its clever execution,
being its originality. The second division
Of the evening, in which the dissOlying
views were introduced, was eminently
appreciated, the representations being
greatly different from those shown on the
first night. The concluding part in
which the celebrated Electra act was
performed. was greeted with appreciatiye
applause. The positions assumed by Miss
Seeman, while suspended in midair and
without the slightest visible support,
were graceful, and showed the perfection
with which the act i performed. The
characters Of Mercury and Joan Of Arc.
which she assumed. were particularly
pleasing.
At the conclusion Of the performance
the prizes were announced as follows
silk dress. Mrs. Julia Gibbons; china
tea set. Mr.. +. A.Wilson; gold watch, Mr..

WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering Woman. Some
thing New Under the Sun.

BY reason Of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris-
ing from the want Of knowledge, or OF con-
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated
to a degree which no language can express.
In the mansions of the rich and the howell OF
the poor alike, woman has been the patient
victim of ills unknown to man, and which
none but she could endure-and without a
remedy. But now the hour of her redemption
has come. She need not suffer longer when she
can find relief in DIR. j. Bradfelds Female

changes Of q century and a third Whit

unfortunate youth and prepared him for
The future struggles of manhood. These
annual reunions are for the purpose Of
keeping up an interest in this great work
