JED PRoUTY.
The Cincinnati ENQUIRER saws :

The Cincinnati Enquirer says
"A pastoral picture Of impressive beauty,
colored with the warmth of actual life and
surrounded with moral purity which chal-
such play is old Jed Prouty,' which was
produced at Heuck's Opera House last night.
Inc large audience was most agreeably sur
prised by the merits of the performance. Its
touches OF human nature, its aroma of the
simplicity and truth of the New England
type of the American could not fail to reach
the heart and appeal to the best sentiments
Of the listener. The sturdy character of the
New England rustic. with his amusing and
agreeable eccentricities, finds embodiment
den admirably assumes. The part is a
faithful D0rtraiture of a genuine character
whom Mr.. Golden knew In his youthful days
ana were Jed Prouty to return to life again
ne would be astonisned to lind his counter
part upon the STAGE"

BERLIN IN 1889.
Perhaps as sumptuous lecture In point of
representations of superb buildings, fine stat
uary. charming parks and country-seats,
Joined to an interesting resume Of events and
notabilities who have engrossed the atten
tion of the world very lately, is that of ''Ber-
lin in 1885," with which Mr.. Stoddard fay
ored his audience in the Stockbridge Course
last night. From the arrival of the specta-
tor at the Berlin railway station, with its
corps Of disciplined hack-drivers, to the
sketch of Bismarck with which the lecture
closed, perfect panorama of scenes, that
carried with them the history of Germany
from the Franco-Prussian war to the as
cent of William III toIthe throne, passed be-
fore the eye. There was much of humor
scattered through the recital, and perhaps
one OF the best Of the hits was the contrast
between the restaurants of the German capt.
tai and the efforts Of the lecturer to refresh
himself in Portland last week, after his first
lecture. A strong feature of the lecture was
the pathetic tale Of the beloved emperor
"Our Fritz"
The next and last lecture will be given
next Monday evening on Switzerland"
