the managers of the two largest tur-

consider DR.. Macarthur the greatest
lecturer Of the day. Get him for
Mitchell if possible.n On his recent
appearance at Mansfield, Ohio, 1.-The

was ever given before a Mansfield
audience than DIR. McArthur's Rus

hours effective oratory and immacu-
late rhetoric delighted and instructed
the hearers. That DR.. Macarthur
should be sought to preach the word
in thus country and in England, that
he is blessed in all things and has
been offered SIG, 900 for delivering
this one lecture the coming eight

been already applied for two or three
times over. Mrs. Beecher's date at

corded a more phenomenal career
than that of the distinguished AM
erlcan yiolinist, Leonora jackson,
%ho, although little more than out
OF ner teens, has already won an in
lernational reputation, and the place
OF one among the artists whose names
