Amateur Photograph Exhibition.

Arrangements have been completed for
an exhibition of amateur photographs
to be held in the art gallery of the
Athenaum during the last week in
March. A committee consisting of E. A.
Silsby, w. H. Sargent, c. T. Ranlet,
Katherine Bingham and Mrs. J. M. Per-
ham have been appointed to arrange for
the exhibition.
All amateurs are invited to send in
half dozen or more prints so mounted
as to occupy space of % by % inches,
this being the size of full sheet OF card
board. The prints may be mounted
directly on this board or they may be
mounted on cards and these cards
grouped on one large Sheet
The CALIFORNIAN office is prepared to
furnish suitable mounting board either
in cut sizes or large sheets in a great
variety of beautiful tints. ALI sizes of
prints will be admitted and there will be
10 restrictions as to The character of the
pictures or the kind Of paper, the en-
trance blank will, however ask how
much OF the work of developing, print
ing and mounting is the work OF the
exhibitor. No admission fee will be
charged and no prize will be given. in
fact it is desired to ignore altogether the
idea of competition and regard it as
an exhibition where all may examine the
work OF Others, and to this end all anna
teurs, even those who only "press the
button are urged to contribute and as
nearly 800 pictures have been promised
the show can hardly help being success
Full particulars and application blank.
will be distributed among the photogra
pliers and additional copies can b.
had from any member Of the committee

Gen. G0rdon's Lecture.

"The First Days of the Confederacy"
was the subject OF the lecture OF ex-Sena-
tor Gordon of Georgia in Music hall last
Friday evening and the lecturer received
hearty welcome and was frequently
applauded. He was warmly introduced
by Elisha May, and began at once with
a tribute to the stars and stripes and
defense of Imperialism that brought
rounds Of cheers from the audience. For
two hours he entertained his hearers
with incidents of the war, interspersed
with many historical facts that were
unknown to the younger ones in his audi
ence. He said slavery was only an incl
dent of the civil war, not the cause of it,
and he would not restore it to the South
ii he had the power. The real cause of
the strife was the wide difference of
opinion on the question of state rights.
The debate grew so bitter at the last
that the question could only be settled
by conflict at arms During the course
of the lecture he eulogized Lincoln and
Grant and said the South today had no
enmity against the North over the issues
that were buried at the surrender of
Lees army.
After the lecture the audience went
over to the Museum where an informal
reception was held and all were glad to
grasp the hand of this patriotic veteran
OF the confederate army. He left here
for Bangor, Me-, where he was the guest
OF his friend, Gen. ]. L. Chamberlain,
well-known northern general.

In Loves Tender Keeping.

Hold me little away from the world.
Dear arms! with your tenderest cling
ing;
The bird with its breast to the blue sinp-
eth sweet,
But the stars never answer it's singing.
The cold lights but lure us to lead us
astray;
The thorn's in the red Of the rose Of the
May
Lead me to love, dear, and teach me to
pray.
Hold me little away from the world.
/. Dear armsl with your firm clasp and
tender:
For the lights on the heights stream
through desolate nights
A tempest OF tears in the splendor.
It's the CLEAN and the dream that would
lead as astray:
The keen thorns have crimsoned the
roses Of MAY
Lead me 70 love, dear. and teach me to
pray.
