LYCRUM THEATRH-"n TRovAroRE"
Saturday, Nov. 10, 1879.

Three great artists appeared in this theatre
last evening In the we'll worn opera of Verdi.
Mile. Di Murska made the role of Lconord a
great success, her rendering Of "Tacea la notte"
and the following cabaletta and the scene Of tho
tower giving evidence of great artistic qualities.
Such a Leonora deserves to DO classed among
the best representations of the part with which
this country is acquainted. Nine. Lucca created
afuror In the role OF the Gypsy. Tho first scene OF
the second act was invested with moro than ordi-
nary interest by her. All the familiar music OF
dzucend found a worthy interpreter in Nine.
Lucca. But the grand. feature Of last nights
representation at this theatre was tho magnih-
cent impersonstion of the title role by Signor
Tambsrlik. The serenade, "Deserto sulla
terra wasdelivered with the exquisite phrasinE
and delightful voice of olden time, as we have
heard 1t in London. and the artist brought to tho
ness and expression which 1t demanded. The
ringing notes OF the "Di quella pira" convulscd
the audience with unwonted excitement Tho
sion to have regained all his magnetism and
power. and IL would be difficult to mention an
representation of the role equal to that Of last
evening for a dozen years past

LYCEUMs IN THE SOUTH.

The Lyceum movement in the South,
| is q very important one. 1t means much
| for the education and cultivation OF the
people. It is also attracting much
wider attention than Is commonly
| known.
Mr.. Hugh c. Middleton, secretary OF
the Southern Lyceum association. in q
| recent article very forcibly presents rea-
sons why the cities Of the South should
establish public lyceums wherever pos
| sible
The South, remarks Mr.. Middleton, be-
| cause OF her long isolation previous to
the war, and the sentiment for which
she has not since been able TO entirely
discard, peculiarly needs to come into
contact with the vital, moving. health
giving. pulsing, current thought Of the
world; and few things can be Of more
benefit to the people and the country
at large than any institution or system
that will begin to bring regularly
through the Southern country and be-
fore the people the leading men and
thinkers Of the time and world.
The best way to develop literature in
the South is to develop the lyceum. Dry
books are very good to inspire people
with, but at last the most inspiring
ming TO any OF US Is a great man. 1t is
very we'll to say that the people can
read books and reason that men have
written them and be inspired to like eff
fort themselves, but at last we cannot
get over the ineXplicable and irradicable
erect or human magnetism. which at
last seems to rule us most-more than
any other thing. The fact is that we
are SO little given to literature in the
South that the majority of the people
or our villages, towns and cities have
never seen Il real, live author, and do
not know what poets, novelists, histo-
rians and the like, look like When the
people are brought face to face with the
poets novclists. biographies, historians
and literary celebrities and workers Of
the time, through the medium Of the w.
ceum plentifully distributed over the
South, we will doubtless begin to feel
some development in literary effort as
we'll as literary taste
Inc lecture as q means of popular in
struction and entertainment began to
make its appearance in the South with
anything like serious existence only
twelve or fifteen years ago It came in
small lecture courses given by clubs
societies and the colleges Nearly all
these attempts have proven failures.
The reason is they were not founded on
the right plan or principle Like the
forerunncrs OF many good public in
stitutions. these pioneer attempts were
the results Of business enterprise, and
the individuals, clubs, and societies. fire.
quently the best OF charities-tricd to
make little money out OF them, where
as the lyccum should be a public insti-
tuition. 1t is probably as important that
the lyceum should be a public institu-
ton as the library. 1t is just now that
Norfolk and other Southern cities like
Atlanta and Augusta Ca are taking
hold of the subject and beginning to call
for the lyceum as Il permanent public
institution.

THE MINERAL AND METAL PRO

taken at the place Of production.
From this table. which is considered
the most complete statement of our
mineral production ever complied or
published, it is shown that the total
value Of the results Of the mineral indus

the great sum Of $751;, 1892, 7S2, which com

1t IS necessary to make some deduc-
