w and her husbdnd, Wirt Sikes, sail for Eu rop some tims in June. . GRACE GREENWOOD has been in the city several weeks,-but- returned to Washington the other day, and will startina ehort time for Colorado.. She has a cottage . nearly comploted at Colorado Springs, near Den- ver, where she intends epending the Sutimer.” Colorado is the only epot shehas yet found where sho has succeeded in escaping t{o tyrant that pursues her every season o mercilessly, and, duxinfi‘ the autumn, fastens with Fuch . relentless . grip mpon _ her throat.and lungs that ghe suffers the .most in- tolersble agony; and sho says that, in the grand- eur of its scenery, the splendorof its skies, and . the exhilarating purity and dryness of its atmos- phere, sho obtains = foretaste of Heaven. Whil she was bere, she lectured twice and gave - reading,"—meeting on each “gccasion with 8 ‘warm reception. Her delivery is about equal to that of the average leciurer; but-there are more besutiful writing, more profound thought, and ‘more gonuine wit in one of her lectures than in the combined productions of any dozen of the men or women that rank mon%it:a foremost of the profession. Inher ‘readings” ehe is altogether inimitable, Bho reads in costume, and is thoroughly mistress of the situation. Her delineations of the various characters are o per- fectly natural, that she carries her entire sudi- |- enco with her, moviog them st one moment to tears, and the next moment convulsing them with laoghter. - In sddition to being one of the wittieat women and sprightliest nowspaper-cor- respondents in Americs, Grace Greenwood is entitled to 2 high position as a lecturer, snd pos- sesses such rare ability as & reader of the comio end pathetic, that, if she would turn her entire attention in that direction, ehe would, in a short time, find her abundant reward in a rich harvest of honor and profit.
