THE POETRY OF ROBT. BROWNING
Prof. Winchester's Lecture on This
Subject Greatly Enjoyed.

Interest in the Thomas course of lee
lures at Richmond College seems TO grow
with each succeeding evening. The col
lege hall was crowded last evening to
hear Professor Winchester discuss the
poetry of Robert Browning and give his
delightful renderings of selected passages.
These readings have proved a very at
tractive feature of the course, and are
highly complimented. The lecturer did not
touch upon Browning's life, but. as Is
his custom, devoted his attention to an
analysis Of the poets style and demon
stration of his merits and defects. Oc-
casionally DIR. Winchester takes his audi
ence into his confidence, and tells them
how such and such poem or meter az
fects him, but more frequently he FOL
lows the maxim of Hugo, and inquiries
whether, from the authors standpoint,
the work Is good or bad. Judged by the
authors aims, the goodness OF Brown
ing's work cannot be questioned, the Pro-
fessor said. He is not the poet or beauty.
but of strong vigorous life. He gives US
real men and women, who have plenty Of
red corpuscles In their blood.
After the lecture a reception was given
to the public, and Professor and Mrs.
Tupper, vlce-president of the trustees.
ard Professor c. II. Winston, received
the professors, students, and many visi-
tors.
The fifth and last lecture Of the present
course will be delivered next Monday
evening. The subject will be. THE Eng
lish Lakes and Their Poets" This Is said
10 be the best lecture In this splendid

Visit to EzekieI's studio.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette OF
the Sth instant quotes the following ex-
tract from the letter Of a Washington
papers Rome correspondent, sent under
date Of March 18th:
1--WE went the other day to Mr.. EzekiePs
studio. 1t was a most interesting visit.
His atelier is in a vaulted chamber OF
Diocletianss baths-most picturesque.
When we got there he was modelling a
little peasant girl as an orphan for thu
base of a bust of the late Jesse Seligman,
of New York, and the pretty child. stand
ing upon a high pedestal, dressed in
dirty, but pretty and suitable clothes,
did not bulge when we entered. Mr..
Ezekiel, not hearing US, went on with MS
work for a moment, giving us time TO
take in the remarkable picture. The
walls were draped in some places with
old hangings. A beautiful landscape,
very large, stood on one side, and the
busts and groups of statuary by Ezekiel
were in various parts of the old yaulted
stone room. l was amazed at the beauty
and force of his work. There was a
'Judith'-a magnificent, terribly beauti-
full creature-and dead Christ, the
most exquisite. touching. and inefably
peaceful and majestic recumbent statue
I have ever seen. Mr.. Ezekiel looks
twenty years older than when L last
saw him-very gray, and exactly like his
sister, Mrs. Frederick G. Brauer, OF Rich-
mond. Va. He was most hospitab!e, and
his simple. unaffected manners were de-
lightful. He begged me to let him know
IL he could do anything for US, ana tod
me when we were ready TO go 10 liVoh
he would give us the entire to the villa
d'Este. hard to obtain usually, that we
might use his summer atelier there to
racr a nd refresh ourselves
