Subj was the title of Mr.. Ober's lecture
given under the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian Association last evening, to a very
good audience. Mr.. Ober is a correspondent
of repute, who has furnished the Boston
Herald with series of exhaustive lectures on
Mexico, the country which has lately come ID
to much prominence through the new railroads
connecting it with the United States, built by
American capital.
Mr.. Ober's lecture was full of good and in
teresting material, but the gentleman has not
got down yet to the understanding that an IL
Illustrated lecture is very different thing from
one that is not. There is too much lecture for
the pictures, and not enough views of the right
sort. There are too few views of grand
palaces. public squares and strests full of bust
ling activity, and too many pictures of individ-
ual people, although the latter are types of the
national character. The pictures too sre not
OF class to compare with those of other lee.
turers who have visited us, and the lecturer
and his OF orator are not yet fully In accord.
Mr.. Ober slsS has failed to master his lecture
thoroughly, and consequently hesitates pain
fully. But with all these defects there is
much of pleasing character, and good idea
was given of the land, with its relics of the
Monte Zumas, its grand old Cathedral of Mex
leo. the Chapel Of the Virgin, the hall where
Msx,miiian and the unfortunate Carletta
were crowned, and its coffee fields and puloue
factories.
