card from Mr.. Bennett explains itself:
To the thousands who have heard Mr..
Henry in Grafton debate and ut the bar,
introduction or comment is unnecessary.
He is to-day recognized as one of the
foremost orators of the South. We feel
a very worthy pride in announcing that
Mr.. Henry has consented to present I'M
der our management a series of lectures
in North Carolina, the subject of his first
being us above stated. His lecture on
woman evinces profound study and
sparkles with the gems of history and
literature. In it wit, humOr, philosophy,
pathOs, herOism, love, are wreathed like
flowers about her brow. The other side
of the picture is presented ever and anon
by way of contrast. The chief object of
the lecture is to portray the condition of
woman during the different epochs of the
worlds history, and her triumphant
emergence from the darkness Of the past.
Below will be seen what distinguished
men and the press say OF Mr.. Henry.

land Neck there was a universal and enthu-
siastic demand for his return. Conference
being had with Mr.. Simmons, Chair

was made for the Doth of October. On
that day he arose before an audience of
six thousand, and said: ''This is the
proudest day of my life." Hehad reason
| for feeling so, for it was the grandest
| demonstration made in the State, except
| the one in honor of Stevenson at Wins
| ton.
"For three hours Henry spoke with an
eloquence and power that rivals that OF
any man who has ever graced the hust-
