Roberb Collyer Kdelivored the conoluding locturs ot the Star Loc- turo Courso, at the Union Park Congrogational \Churoh, In spitc of tho opors, thoro -was =n eoxcollont audienco prosent. ITo profaced bis looturo by s fow introductory romarke. © spoke nsan old friond who had beon with thom throngh the sunshine and ehadows of wmany yoars, and had rather live or dio with them and go to Hoenven then go to Doston, "Thon he &aid a kindly word for the young men who had mannged the Star Locture Courso, and’ hoped thoy would roceive encouragoment enongh to induco thom to ropeat the courso noxt yoar, with the spoalkor loft out. Ho commencod by saylng that Humboldt thought that but for an accident Colum- bus would have lnnded in Virginis, Amerien would havo beon all Spanigh, and there would havyo been no lecture, Tho flock of birds which guided the Admiral southward was providentinl, and North Amoricn was eaved for tho ploked ‘mon of the world, Its hiatory had been acontin- usl wondor. It liad bad its grent mon. It had kopt its doora always opore to the world, recolving and ennobling foroignors. Ho N long ago soon that thero 'was 1o chanco for himeolf or his children abroad, and ho was comlyullud to stoop to those who were by agcident wealthior than lio, Coming to Amor- Ica, hio bad beon blagksmith, preachor, and leo- turer, IIe hnd twico returned, aud had fully seon the lives of tho common poople there, and know thom thoroughly. 8o ho had thought of com- aring tho two. What struck him first in Amor- ca was that overy ono was 8o woll-to-do, Thoro was, howevor,” moro arablo laud horo than in all tho other continonts, Bo, in spita of land-grabs, Amoricans nd managed so that ]'-.‘urnsann poverty Wwag un- known. In 1850 Lo could earn twico ns much ag In England in two-thirds of the time, and living was o little cheaper 5 go ho ot onco ho;a:n Hving woll. Out of tho Englieh incomo much had to bo takon to sond the childron to poor schools. Thero ovory workingman ronted Lis home, and rarely owned a bit of land. Hero they ownod thelr houses, or Woro saving monoy to got them, ‘Thero, farmera rented farms, and wore hnrd put to it to livo, existing on ontmoal ond blue milk, and moat four times a_yoar. Twico sinco had ho soon that lfo. It had improved, but not ndvanced as much ns bero, and yot thoy lived botter in England than on the Continent. In America they gavo evory naa o foir show, The roughest man was (5] Hnmo to overy lady, oxcopt his wife, ne tho ofitost gontleman abrosd. Evoryman wanted 0 malo his children bettor than himself, Ho bad seon s ploasant-looking Irishman step in o snow-drift to lot & colored woman havo tho norrow path, Twelve and a half million people wore ungi:gndln ainful ocoupations, and sbout balf of them in what that great, sweet soul, Mr, 'Greoley, perferrod, —farm work, * Tho bost buildings in the country woto achool- Shouscs, and it waa delightful to soo tho intolli- gont faces, o nover wearled of looking at tho Doblo rosults of o free school system, Tho moble hoart of the American poople had touched him whon he first landed in Americs, though ho had been onutioned against their seolfishness, Xe wont out for medicino for his siock wifo, and tho druggist, aftor learning ho had just como over aud intended to atay, gave him ‘the medi~ oino for nothing, and told him ho was welcomo, o went out in the country, and his wife worlted ns & sowing-woman in Philadelphia, Blie wae taken vory sick, and the Indy whero she ‘was stoppng put or in hor bost room and waited on her horsolf. Whon ho came back they told bim to stay there, and attorward rofused to tako anything, sinco thoy had not done it for money. ‘Thoy wore 5.‘“’ to oo them dofng tho best they kueyw, and did not went them to montion money. Nothing had yot bofallen_ him to make him talo ‘back his {irst judgment about Americans, Yot there woro many things he did not Like, for this vast prosperity brought its punishment., “Tho children ncrosa the water wore fod on oat- meal and brown bread, but thoy were strongor than thoro who §ol meat thros times o dny. Thoy worked hardor over there. 1f the man failad, tho women worked. Thoy had little po- litical power there, but thoyelected honest men ; while herotho poople elected Judases, whodid nol hinng themsolves, but got re-olected, Ho wanted to check theso onsy-going sentiments about marrisge. Thero wero divorces as saored as & marriage, and tho sooner thoy wore through with tho bettor. ' Nowadays s0 many young pooplo made 8 snap-judgment of o wedding, fi‘heyg - lieved in love at first sight, and gang direot to tho pnrson. It was all wrong. If he had married his firat loyohe should have mado a mess of it. Oceasionally a womsan would snare & man as tho hunter did his gamo. For money, or for somothing olse, peoplo would forgo chains to bind them forover. Poopls must take timo and trouble to find out whother they wero fitted for ono anothor. In the country, thoy know another for years; thoy knew the good points and failings of ono another. Mar- riad folks must remember, {00, that o marriage- licenso was not a licenss to do what they wanted t0, but vhat they ought to. Husbands and wives wight differ. The &weetest wives might say tmnfiu they would let no one_else say. Thoy could not always see alike. When people said thoy had never had a differenco in zwonty-llvu iuars o was suro there muat be ‘s good dénl of indifforonce. Childron were what their paronts word, and not what they wero fold to be. It was tho good mother that made the good ohild. It was vory little difforence what theo father was, if tho mother got hold of the boya! 1f they could not got hold of thelr minds, then thoy must court thom through their stomachs, ‘The fatbor had to take his part in donling with tho child, but ho was vory much puzzled to uny what it was, I-‘loqg{ng ho did not beliove in, but ho bolioved in littls taps which showod that strength lgy behind. Tho father should bo s little older - ‘than the Bon, much wiser, and yot compsnionable. Woman in America was claiming a larger placo than ever boforo, and he believed that if sha obtainod i, hor {nflucnes would ho productlve of good. Bho had taken to tho locture platform, #nd it took a good man to keop abreast of hor. Bho had fionu into the everydsy work of tho world, and shown what she could do there, Sho did it, for eho felt ftto bo her duty. Tho rosult of admitting woman to tho~ largor life, would bo to elovato mon, If womon voted, {)flmm’y mootings would be held in par- fors 3.0t grog-shops, and the whole standard of public morality would be lifted up. _Tho peopls wora partly responaible for the Credit Mobilier business, It was no better for man to be alone Iu publio, than in privato lifo, — THE-CITY IN BRIEF.

The property-owncra on Clark stroot, botwoen Madisop and fashington, came to tho conclu- slon that the paving of the' stroot was somo- thing which was domanded by solf-Intorest, since 1t was in such a condition ss to bo impassablo during wot weather, and theroforo tended to lower thoir routs, it it did not deprive them of tonnnta oltogether. 8o, inatead of waiting to have on ordinanco dpuaod bigx the Qouncil and an agdessmont made by the Board of Publio Works, they advanced the monoy ot once, and mado their own ooniract for olng tho ork, which, theroforo, cost thom only §56 & ruuning foot, instend of about 87, as would have boon tho ‘onse had tho paving boon dono In tho ordi~ nary way by tho oity.

Bofora this Jot can bo nasossod by the city to contribute its share, soveral months must elapse. Tho other property-owners are irritated, and doclare they will not pay for the bank, while tho contractor doos not propose to do tho worl for nothing. Of courso, ihe bunk has a porfect right to do a8 it haa done, and to annoy all who have to travel on Clark stroot, but it is uot always ox- podient to stand by one's rights,and the bank will rxo).mbly loso more by thowithdrawal of doposits 6‘?[‘(‘)‘6 it will gain by deferring the payment of tho —— AN ORIGINAL CONFIDENCE GAME. An old confidence gamo on hattors was ox- posed in Tne TRIDUNE, the othor day, which is remarkablo equally for its antiquity and success. The confidonce oporators wore in the habit of calling at the various-hat stores, ordering an un-~ 1imited numbor of hats for other dealors, and carrying thom off. They wore very successful. How gulliblo hatters aro was Emtty fairly illustrated in tho fight . betwoon the Mayor and tho old Polico Board, but nobody suspected themof being 80 utterly vordant as they are made to appear. A dsyor two ago Mossra. ker & Co, received a bill for 8190 from a firm in ihe same line of business, for hats which had nover been ordered, showing that the confidonco oporators had talon in tho supposed oreditors to oxactly that amount. Bince Toz Trimune oxposed this anciont system of swindling, tho rogucs engaged in it have made n couragoous offort in au entirely original dirootion. An old hat, worth G0 conts, is carefully dono up in a box and taken to the residonco of somo gentleman whose name is in the directory, always at an hour whon the gentlo- man is not at home. The mossenger presents tho hat to tho lady of tho honss and 80ys Mr, — has purchasod the hat, and paid $1 on it, glving ordors to present the bill for the® ‘balance when the hat1is sent up. The lady looks ot tho bill, pays it, and tho mogsenger doparts with tho money. Thoe wrath of the gentloman on coming home and finding a boaver which would disgrace a third-rato pawn-shop can bo imngined. This trick has been unusually suo~ ceseful. At ono houso whero the messengor arrived with his hat, tho lady surveyed tho bill, but hav- ing no ruudg money to quandor on Elug hats for her husband, gave the man an order on the grocer for $4.50, The beauty took the order, chauged it to 314,60, took It to the grocery store and had it cashed, oro was some tall profan- ity a day or two aftorwards.

Jamot a8 Plunkelt, and Signor Veratl s Lionel. Tho houso wns by no menna orowded, but the attondance was fair, and tho audience seemod to onjoy tha porformnuco cscecdingly woll. Tho opora fa sprightly in story, quick in actlon, aud o vory succession of goms musienl- ly, which nro familiar to overybody, and, consoquently, as dalightful to most ears as houschold songs, Thoe protty duos, trios, and quartottos with which it falrly runs avor, Linvo somotbing to commoud thom at overy repoti- tion, and **Lost, Proscribed,” and tho * Last Roso of Bummor" gocuro that hushed attention which Thomas inevitably finds when his orchosy tra plays Traucmerel. For tho rost, ' Martha » in ono of thoso soctal operas In which ono chats with ono's noighbor, fakes in musio at ono ear and gossip at tho othor, Jigeats both with tho roliah of small berries in enson, and goos home without any eonsation of fatiguo, and with n congclousness of having had & quiet and poacoe- ful ovening of pleasant sounds sud oheerful surroundings, N Thero {8 probably no opora in whioh Misa Kellogg nxz'i{onru to bottor andvantago than “Martha." Tho charactor makes no domand upon hor for_tue warmth that sho does not possess, gives plny to Lier protty coquetry, nffords su op- portunity for handsome and becoming toilottos, offors musical goms in abundanoe for her cloar, bright soprano_ voice, and altogetlor prosonts tho Indy at hor best, It is truc that much more may bo mado_ of the charnctor, dramationliy, than Miss Kollogg over thinks of making out of any character; but bor friends find gracos ouough to compensato for the lack of tho dramatio oloment, and have consed tojexpoct it, Thero is no flaw {n hor voice, which ipplos ovor tho hard places in the score like a rill. It is of tho bigh, poustrating quality which is apt to be thin in places, but it is so light, and epark- ling, and protty withal, that, fu music liko-that of *Martha,"" it calls for no fault-finding, and can ncnrcul’y fail to entrance everybody to tho present onjoyment of listen- ing to " it, though it loave ~mo fl-anz fmpression to dwoll upon afterward, If tus Kollogg were n(n%lng now at the prises nt which it has boen usual to hoar her, thero ia lit- tlo doubt that her audionces would bo large and hior rocoptlon as flattoring as in the days of hor pretty littlo tyranny ovor tho publio some feur or flve years ago. Bho ‘rlunuo hor audience of lnst night, was encored at tho ‘ Last Roso of Bummor,” ealled out after the second act, and duly prosented with s bouquet. Jamot, as Plunket!, come out n new man, o difforont in nq}mnmncn and action from tho obaractors in which the GlflfilFD yl)ubllo has_scon him a8 only an artlst of his calibre can bo, Thore has been no oporatio basso in this country for yoors s0_uniformly excellent, Miss Sanz also appoared to better advantngo than on any formor occaslon hero, and the contrast between hor and Miss lolloge was of benefit to both of them. Bignor Vorati ag Lionel, who is now to Ohicago, will not supply the painful lack of a tonor, which forms the lament of opera-managers all over tho world just now. Ho has o ploasant, though by no means strong or romarkablo voloe. The quortottes, although thoy would suffer by comparison with the manner in which Parepa, rs, fla;iuln, Castlo and Campboll mmP them, wore woll given, and the opora, as a wholo, mado up a remarknbly ug}pnunnb oyoniog, “Miguon " will 'bo produced_to-night, With Luecn, Kollogg, sznnll and Jamet, and the hiouso will be crowded.

During tho past wock Myors® Opera House has boon given up to tho vagarics of burlesque, Kitty Blanchard and a company composed maiu- l{‘o local talent having scoured tho theatro for the purpose, presumably, of showing that tho 'minstrols are not tho only com- pany that can keop an audionco laugh- 1, in this comfortable littlo houso, “ Bnd Dickey” i tho extravaganza which I8 now doing its duty in giving an_opportunity for tho presontation of a fair soloction of lowor limbs, nud illustrating tho amount of nonsenso that can be made an acceptable accompaniment Lo tho gyrations of burlesque actors aud nctresses. Tho piecs is founded on Burnsud'a clever bur- lesque of * Richard the Third," trlmmed and locallzed for n Ohicago audienco, and preceded by a prologuo which bas nothing more to do with tho burlesque than the ordinary introduction to & nowspaper sonsational article. Tho contral figure of the extravaganza is tho ambitious Duke, pl:flad by br. T, J. Langdon, who has en- riched” tho absurdity of tho burlosqus by dromsing the charactor In the strict- est possible imitation of Booth, and has succoeded in presorving the imitafion in %Eutlu'a, voico, and manner. To hoar Booth threatoning vongeance rxgmn the denizens of ‘Bridgeport is more absurd to s modorn sudienco than to liston to Richard roviling tho same noighborhood, and to all iotents and purposes the Rickard of the oxirava- gonzn 18 mnone .other than Booth, Tha presorvation, too, of & part of the text of the original drama, with tho unmenning nonsenso thrown In to rhyme it occasionally, is productive of contrasts which appesl to the risiblo facultios irresistibly, Mr, Edwin Marllo as tho Duchess of York dresaes tho character excollently. Miss Blanchard as the Earl of Richmond has tho ad- vantago of agracoful fl%um which is displayed to grost advaniago intho Tinuted intoguments allowad to burlesque, and what littlo dancin and singing aro noodod aro furnished by thi lady. Without particularizing the othor oharac- tors, it might not bo out of piace to suggest ta DMr, McKes, who appenrs as tho Lord AMayor, that tho disposition of his Lands in somo man- ner other than that of last evening would causo fowor blishes smong the ladics, and bo conducive to tho ense of their gontlomen friends. If his arma are too long ho might eith- or fold thom or lot thom hang down as far as they can. Either disposition would be profora~ blo to that of last ovening, Tho music is chiefly com{;m&ed of popular aira from opora bouflo, Jumbled with oxtracts from stroet molodies, Tho scenory of the firat act shows a pretty view of modern London by gaslight, with tho riverin tho foroground and Bt. Paul's in tho distance. —— SANITARY REPORT. The Board of Public Works held ita regular wookly meoting yostorday aftornoon. Tha Henlth Oigor reported thatho served 479 notlees lnst week, sud that 422 nuisancos were abated. The Banltary Superintondent reported 609 deaths in April,—323 malos and 286 fomales; 189 wero undor 1 year, Thero were 74 doaths by convul- sions, 63 by consumplion, 44 by small-pox, 40 by pucumonia, by measles 22, and whooping-cough 12, The mortality by wards was as follows: Firat, 1; Becond, 1; Third, 24; Fourth, 13; Fifth, 21; Sixth, 40; Beventh, _05; lli[éhth, 663 Ninth, 48; Tenth, 17; Elev- onth, '28 ;' Twelfth, 205 Thirteonth, ; Fourteenth, 27 ; Yiftconth, 76; Bixtconth, 47; Boventeont, 30; Eightoontl, 20; Ninotoonth, 2; Trwontioth, 4. Phoro are fowor deaths than in March, und muoh fower than last April, whon there were 766, Thore are 36 less b umu\l-pox. Tho monn daily tomperaturo was 4© leus, and tho rain fall 2,8 inches more, Considering these facts, and the fucronse of population, the dimin. ished mortality is considered remarkable, Tho highest death “rates ocourred in the Bixteonth, Bevonth, Lighth, and Fifteonth Warde, Tho mortality haa gonorally beon groatest in the dia- tricts whoro the inlabitants are tho poorest. The Influonce of the want of drainage in Incrons- ing the death rate is also apparent.

Tho Unfon Drying Machino Company, of Meri- don, Conn,, have brought to Chicago's roliof » newly-lnvented apparatus, whoreby the offal from rendering-tanks may bo converted into fort!lizing material without causing tho noxlous smoll so bitterly complained of.

'The tank offal is brought from the packing houso to tho mnohine, and, bolnfi doposited in tho revolving oylindor, is subjocte to tho nction of tho suporhoated air, andin tho spnco of ono hour a ton of tho rooklng stuft in driod and cured into an absolutely odorless fer- tilizor of fixed market value. Tho entiro cost of tho process is less than the expenso of carting away tho offal and burying it, a8 was formerly dono. The blood of "the slaughtor-houso is treatod in preciecly tho same mannor, and with tho samo success. Ono machine will talo caro of tho offal of four or five packing-housos at this sonson of the year. —_——— PERSONAL, James W.

As tho editor of tho Land- mark fought through tho entire ongagomont, lnating properly three days, and was in comman: of his company on tho torriblo rotroat from Poa Tidgo o Van Buren, tho editor of the Zandmark, withont qualification, pronounces Lyocurgus Stiopat » willtal und datfborato liar “The editor of tho Landmark dosires further to say, that, whilo Lycurgus Shepard was loafin about the d'ty of Leavenworth and being {m aup at auction and sold as s vagrant, he, the presont‘editorof tho Landmark, was o membor of the Powpaw militis, and was_onc_of tho squad of ton, among whom were Dr. Ben L. ny, Wm.
