Stoddard on Madrid and Lisbon. The welcome accorded Mir. Stoddard on his | return was hearty and attested his popularity. Some of the finest scenes given were the an, proach to Madrid, the royal palace Ia Granja, Spanish bull fight, the charge upon
 the picador, death in the arena, Legonia, the aqueduct, the Moorish morgue, Lisbon, the Monastery of St. Jerome, the city of Port
 wine, and last glimpses from the sea. MR. CABLES READ1Nas MT. Cable is very generous to New Haven
 in his programme for tonight, which i'm
 is usually given. Besides ssPosson Jone, |" SAAseH CAn1H1S SboHJ E1OI1QA paf8O0'S visit
 to and adventures in the City of the Plain. he reads four excellent selections from the Grandissimes, his greatest work, and two scenes from Dr. SeViar, now appearing in l the Century. In the scenes from the Brands issimes appear those charming women, Au-
 rola and Clotilde, in whom Mr., Cable ha- portrayed types of women which are rare in literature. The Boston Home Journal says
 s'Mr. Cable has taught us that novel may
 be interesting, soulful, wholesome, without any straining of the imagination for plots involving the worst of that which is bad in human nature. The two women who stand out in highest relief in the sGrandissimes' are as true to life as any French characters drawn by French authors. They have that pecuIIarity which American authors have striven in vain to portray, that spirituality which is salient point in the French charac- ter-a spirituality which is, the motive of their gayety, their bouyancy, and which is almost miscalIed friyolity." Reserved seats
 for the readings can be obtained st Peck's bookstore.
