The Lecture on Jerusalem.
AT SALISBURY, DEC. 18TH.

AT SALISBURY, DEG 18TH.
 The lecture on Wednesday evening, Dec. 18th. by Herr V onFinkelstein, a native of Jerusalem, upon the habits and customs of the beautiful city of his birth was as full of interest and as popular in the best sense of the word, as can be imagined.
 The speaker, man of fine presence and very agreeable address and manner, was attired in the picturesque costume of his country, the flowing garments, the mantle of silk woven without seam, the fig and white turban, and upon the stage were eight people wearing the varied costumes which make so bright the streets of Jerusalem. There was the Cossack, ,with his garments of fur and towering head covering, the donkey driver, the little favorite son going to school clad like one of old, in coat of many colors, little maidens in their pretty array, and bride in all her bridal splendor. At the back of the stage was picture of Jerusalem com passed about with hills, and at one side a very real representation of city gate, showing the needles eye, through which the camel could with difficulty pass.
 No amount of reading could give to one the real knowledge of the oriental city life which was gained in that evening. Herr VonFinkelstine began by describing the approaches to the city, and the sights and sounds of it's narrow and busy streets, and showed, by actual representation, the manner in which school Is kept, and the bridal customs and the ways of merchants and shoppers, the charming grace of orien- tai salutation, and indeed gave very full idea of that many-colored life.
 It was an evening full of interest to everyone, of any age, and threw light upon many Bible word pictures that made them very real and vivid. It is a pity that anything of such real merit should not have & good audience. A minstrel troupe may come, or an Indian Medicine Man, 8 theatrical troupe giving medium plays, or Uncle Toms Cabin three times in season, and each will draw house full to over flowing, but when really fine concert is given or lecture full of valuable and interesting material most enter tainingly used, the small audience does small credit to the good taste of the community. Perhaps there is not one among us who may ever see the Judean hills or walk the streets of Jerusalem, although to many the journey would be one of delight, yet how many missed the rare opportunity which this evening offered, of being transported, as by the magic carpet of fairy lore, from the midst of New England winter into the heart of Palestine, seeing the towers and. domes and turrets of the Holy City and feeling the perfume waited from its olive groves and oleandel hedgerows and stately waving palms.
