friends in this city. The marine band
furnished the music for tie occasion
and a large crowd OF persons listened t.
he speeches. Ser ator Sherman was in
troduoed by Ben Butterworth and spoke
for half an hour. The purity of ths
ballot was the principal theme of his
discourse. He declared that every ma
tional election since 1868 had been
tainted with fraud and terrorism. and
asserted that last year, by unlawful
combination and fraud, Grover Cleve-
land had been elected President of the
United States, when, il there had been a
fair vote and fair count James q.
Blaine would have been elected. The
speaker dwelt at some length on the re-
cent election in Ohio, and charged the
Democrats with perpetrasine gross
frauds against the purity Of the ballot.

was introduced by ). 3, Dole Esq. In the course
Of the lecture, the various theories upon the form
alton Of coral reefs. atolls and islands were dis
cussed clearly by Professor Agassiz, and with the
intelligence which none but practical naturalist
can give TO the subject. The growth and decadence
Of the communities of animals known as cOrlls
were described and Illustrated on the blackboard.
The lecturer showed the futility of explaining
coral islands by theories of subsistence or of vol
canic peaks happening to be some twenty feet be-
low the surface Of the sea, or by any assume ed cat
aclysms Of nature. He accounts for them BY the
simple results of ocean currents with the force OF
the winds, aud the natural growth of coral. and
deposit of sand upon beds of limestone or sand
stone as old as the main land.
