The subject of the lecture was the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and accordingly dealt with one of thei most tragic as well as the most pathetic events in our country's history. The recital of the histo -ic events was by one who personally knew most of the localities, the victim and his conspirators and who had made an orig inal investigation of the causes sthat led to this arch crime. HenceI the lecture had the authorative value of an eye-wit- ness. Dr Porter ss chief surgeon had the sanitary oversight of the principals and accomplices in the great crime and is one of the few, who are the only ones. knowing where the grave of Booth is. The lecture was eloquent in thought and phrase and for the reasons already men, tioaed most highly valued.

The Emperor of China and Yang Yu Vel, his adviser, have gone down, and up have come the Empress DoWsger and Ii Hung Chang, which means that down have gone definite reform measures in government administration, army re. organization, and the institution of West ern education throughout the Empire, and up have come knaVery, moth-eaten custom, and attendant evils. Accord ing to a writer in Harper's Weekly for November 5, the undercurr ent of feeling in China Is:
 l. That the Empress Dowager is 8 second LucretIa Borgia. It is asserted that she had previously killed two Emper ors, Hsien Feng and Tung Chlh. Since September 22 she has ordered the mur. der (decspitstlon without trial) of from 15 to 20 of the leading reform advisers of the late Emperor.
 2. There Ia uniform belief that [ de- pendence can be placed on the reports sent out from the palace as to whether the Emperor Is dead or alive.
 The Emperor was gaining in favor par. tially from the fact that Rang Yang, Yu Wei, g Chinaman, was advising these re- forms rather than Manchu, and if the Emperor Is not restored they demand that England take over China.

The returns from districts in Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and Nebras- ka that on Tuesday indicated the election of democrats or populists have upon la- ter information proved to have been pre- mature and inaccurate, and the republi- can gains have been sufficiently numer. ous to make it apparent that they have retained the lead in the House by the slenderest of majoritiea, which may be increased somewhat after organization
