The lecture to be delivered at the pa
vilion tonight by the great African ex-
plorer, II. NJ. Stanley, isan event Of such
interest that it has no parallel in the.
history OF lecturing. Here is a man who
by his own stern determination, indom-
liable will, and the iron strength of his
constitution overcame difficulties before

long years, during which he explored
the dark continent of Africa, going to
its very core, and dragging forth all the
secrets and mysteries OF thatvast region,
and laying them bare to the eyes of all,

mouth of him who led the most success
full of all expeditions into Africa, will
make the eye brighter and the cheek
flush. r
Then there is the commercial interest
that henceforth is to attract to Africa.
1t is no longer terra incognita, but is
now known as the great theater where
the drama of civilization is to have its
next act performed. 1t is a land of
broad fertile plains, of great
river systems, and mountain chains,
Gold, and corn, and wine and oil willSbe
the products of these plains and mount
aims. Great cities are to rise here, and
great railroads to be built. Here is the
theme on which a master hand, or
rather master tongue, is to expand its
force and exhaust its cunning before
