MISS KATE FIELDS LECTURE
A Brilliant Discourse Before n Brilliant and APP
preciatiye Audience.

The lecture delivered by Miss Kate Field in
the Congregational Church in this city last
week for the benefit of Kit Carson Post was
one Of the notable events OF this season. A re-
cent issue of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE con-
tanned the list of distinguished men who had
Joined in the request for Miss Field TO deliver
her lecture.
The very unusual number Of prominent men
whose names appeared there showed a most
flattering interest in the lecturer and her sub
ject, and she more than justified all the high
expectations entertained Of her.
The night was certainly the stormiest that
has been known in Washington for years, and
while this kept very many away il did not
prevent the large church from being well filled
with an audience of as high character as was
ever gathered in the city. Every one remained
until the close, and the frequent applause
showed how well the bristling and brilliant
points were appreciated.
Miss Field was at her best Becomingly at
tired, entirely at ease upon the rostrum, with
clear, musical voice distinctly audible in every
part of the room, she was pleasant TO look upon,
aud listening was fascination. One is scarcely
able 10 characterize the lecture briefly. 1t is a
series of vivid pictures, glance into cham
Der Of horrors, an array of facts and figures
and documentary evidence, a recital of the re-
suits of personal knowledge and observation
which let in a yeritable flood of light upon a
matter that is but imperfectly understood by
999 persons out of 1000 More than once did
Miss Fields hearers turn 10 look at each other
with wide-opened eyes and indrawn breath that
said, Can such things be?" Much of Miss
Fields discourse is indelbly impressed upon
the memory, partly by the interest Of the facts
themselves, largely by the dramatic force with
which they were delivered. Kate Field holds
to-day the first place on the lyceum platform.
She has that extraordinary balance of the intel
lectual and artistic forces that enables her to
make her lecture of superb literary quality and
10 deliver il with faultless grace Of manner, and
in a voice thrilling and exquisite in its modu-
lation.
The eloquent orator did not spare the United
States Government. at is to-day" said Miss
Field, responsible for so years growth of po-
| lygamy and inchoate treason" As an illustra-
ton of this conclusion, she told most inter-
esting story, of which Gov. Harding of Utah !;
Brigham Young. Abraham Lincoln and VIM.
ii. Seward were the characters. This story is
dramatic and significant bit of Mormonism.
related for the first time. 1t led up 10 an ear
nest and eloquent peroration. Miss Fields final
words were SOLDIERS of the Grand Army of
the Republic, you who did so much for the war,
| you who can do so much 10 make public opin-
ion, what are you going to do about it?" Com
rades Of the GAR, read anew Commander
Fairehild's Circular No. 3. and answer Miss
! Kate Fields pertinent question.

struction, and Domestic Economy.
SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR, $500.
The TWENTIETH VOLUME will begin with the
Number dated January l, 1887, is
sued on December II, 1886.

HARPER's Bazaar is the best family journal
in the world Its literary features are of
the highest merit, comprising serial stories,
poems, essays, etc, from the most distin-
guished writers of Europe and America.
It's brilliant Illustrations reproduce, from the
original electrotypes, simultaneously with
their appearance abroad, the gems of the
London picture galleries, the Paris Salon,
and the great English pictorial journals !;
and its humorous cuts have won it the name
Of the American Punch. It's fashion plates,
of the latest Paris and New York styles,
accompanied with welLftting patterns and
clear descriptions, enable ladies' to save
many times the cost of subscription by
making their own dresses or experimenting
their manufacture at home. It's articles on
housekeeping and cookery are eminently
practical and useful, and promote economy
in the household Much attention is paid
to decorative art, and many exquisite en-
broidery designs are given from the best
sources. Its papers on social etiquette are
of the highest interest; and no topic is neg
lected that could be of value to the family
circle. Its editorials are marked by good
sense, and not line is ever admitted to its
columns thai could offend the most fastidi-
Gus taste Many novelties are in prepare
ton for the new volume.

HARPER'S WEEKLY.
A Journal Of Civilization and Picture
History of our Own Times.
: SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR, $500.
The THIRrY-FIEsr VOLUME will begin with
the Number dated January l, 1887,
issued on December 20, 1886.

HARPER's WEEKLY justifes its title as "a
Journal of Civilization by rejecting, with
steadily increasing fulness and accuracy, the
progress of civilization, and by exemplifying
as well as by recording the continuous adj
vance of American literature and American
art.
1t presents, in faithful and graphic pict-
ures, the noteworthy events of the day, por-
traits of men of the time, reproductions of
the works of celebrated artists, cartoons by
eminent pictorial satirists, and humorous IL
Illustrations of the ludicrous aspects of social
and political life.
Besides the pictures, HARPER's WEEKLY is
full of good reading. IL always contains in
stalments of one, occasionally of two, Of the
best novels of the day, with fine illustrations.
It's short stories are bright and entertaining.
Poems, sketches, and papers on important
topics of current interest by the most pop
ular writers, and column of personal para
graphs, make it interesting to everybody.
As family journal, the care that has
been successfully exercised in the past to
make HARPER's WEEKLY a safe, as well az
welcome, visitor to every household will not
be relaxed in the future. The ultimate in
luence of the subjects treated in its text
and in its illustrations is not less considered
than their immediate interest.

THE GOOD WORK
Done by The National Tribune for the Soldier.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The election
has passed, and from all parts of the country
comes the cheering news Of a signal victory for
the soldier, for IN nearly every Congressional
district where the present incumbent has fail
ed in his duty or promises given the soldier he,
is laid upon the shelf Not the least of this
great victory is the lesson taught them that
they must either make good the contract made
with the soldier or we will put men in who
will, from the President down TO the lowest
officer. But while we are all rejoicing over
this great success il well behooves us TO give
the one great cause the praise so justly and so
signally earned-that is, THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE, the one paper in this country which
works solely for the old veteran and had more
TO do with molding the opinions of the soldier
element than all the other papers combined.
What other paper kept us posted on the actions
of these men Who but il held up 10 the scorn
of all true friends of the soldier the infamous
special-tax resolution of William X. Morrison
and showed its true inwardness? And who
but it has at all times worked and struggled
for all just measures proposed for the relief of
the disabled veteran? This is something that
j wish every soldier would think of and feel
that every subscriber he could gain for 1t was
vote gained for the cause of the soldier, and go
TO work; for it will pay, for the larger the SUBJ
scription list the greater its influence.-SoL-
DER, Perry, Ill.

A MISSING ooNGREssMAN.

Congressman Reid, of North Carolina, has
disappeared. He has not been in his seat this
session and nobody knows where he is. He is
supposed TO have fed on account of business
troubles Mr.. Reid is only 81 years Of age. and
no young man in his State had apparently a
brighter career before him. lie is well educat-
ed, a man Of modest and pleasing address, has
always been popular with his constituents. and
was repeatedly honored by them with public
position. lie was one of the last men who
would ever be suspected of improper business
practices Rumors TO this effect were started
during the last campaign in North Carolina,
bat they Were rejected as unwarranted even by
his political opponents. IL is now said that
these practices have existed for years, including
the mortgaging over and over again of the same
piece of property, and mortgages upon property
for which he had no title. 1t is said also that
he made no less than four assignments on his
salary as Member of the House of Representa-
tives. and before he left North Carolina il is
said he obtained So, 600 from coniiding friends
None of his colleagues, all of whom are much
mortified over the statements concerning him,
have the least idea of where he is now. Some
say he is in Europe, and Others say he is in
Canada.
