 HARRY FRENCH-MExIco
 At SkiH's Opera House last evening, liar ry w. French, so well and favorabIy known in this city as one of our most entertaining lecturers, delighted his audience with sgraph- ic description of our next-door neighbor, Mexico. Photographic representations of Mex ican scenery, architecture and life in it's Eari- ety, from the much abused donkey to the ever present Indian, were made vivid and natural under the influence of the powerful oxy-hydrogen light. Among other interest ing features in the Mexican capital the Grand Plaza, St. Francis Cathedral in it's Moorish semi-barbaric architecture, the Aztec god of wal, and the church of San Francisco were conspicuous. But more beautiful than cac- tus and waving palm, grander than any work of man, were the three snow-crowned mountains of North America radiant with the splendid coloring of a tropical sun, and the wonderful valley of Mexico from Pepocata- pel to Vera Cruz under the palms. and the ice of Onzaba to the Gulf of Mexico Mr. French's lectures are of the finest order and cannot be too highly commended.
 THE BEGGAR STUDENT.
 The audiences at the two performances of the opera "Beggar Student' at Carll's Opera dOuso yesterday were large ana appfec1aC1Ve. The opera is everything that it's friends claim for it. It contains some of the best light l opera writing that any modern composer has recently put forth; the airs are catchy; the action is spirited; and the idea or plot of the piece is of sufficient novelty and brightness to hold the interest throughout. It is a musi- cal success, and when the elegant costum s, the bright stage pictures and the pretty chorus girls are all taken into consideration the performance is one of unusual merit. The principals are all good. MT. McCol1in espe- cially proved himself a favorite E. M Pike sang and acted admirably The ladies are well adapted to their parts. The chorus is strong.
 In response to urgent requests by many who were unable to attend last night the management have consented to present the opera again this evening, and we have no doubt that the house will be crowded, as the opera is singularly attractive as it's immense run in New York clearly proved. No one who has not seen the opera already should fail to go this evening, and those who have already seen it will all want to go again.
