i - LOCAL MISCELLANY. THE RENAISSANOE. . The fitth lecturo in tho Ohurch of tho Mes- Mah courso was dollverod yostorday ovening in Vo Memorlal Ohapol of that Churoh, by Mro. Adams, of Dubuquo, Towa, Tho chapol was quito woll fitled, and tho audionco was eoxcood- ngly nttontivo and ploased, Mrs, Adems was anfortunatoly unaware of some of tho ncoustio gropnxlluu of tho hall, and henco froquently ailod to be plainly hoard by many prosont. Mr. Collior, at longth, considorately spoke of tho flm\cully which any reader or: sponker In- bored “iindor in " that chapel, and ro- quested Mrs, Adams to oxort heraclt fo ronch tho outor limlis of tho sudlonco. Bhe hos & flne delivery, unaffocted and plonsant, and bor voico is quite closr, though not strong, but, beiug daceived by tho apparent sizo of the room, sha did not always make horgolf undorstood by thoso at & distanco from tho desk. On this ac- count it is imlponalblu to- give n vory corroct ab- stract of hor lgctare, though thoso who hoard it »ll digtinotly wero hughly dolightod. The following fragments give a vory unsatia- faotory idea of the looture : * We rovort to tho poriod of the early origin of tho solenco of history, to ‘form an adoquato :nncui)llou of - tho difticulties which it has ovor- some in eatablishing itsolf as one of tho esson- Hals of education, Epochs ariso from a conli slon, not & more joining, of.idens. ‘I'ho Ronaissanco was an opoch commencing at tho early part of tho sixtoenth contury.

Romo, underthioPapal domination, turuad from its cosmopolitan charaoter, and instoad of containing tho oloments of all tho world, tried to mako all the world liko Romo, and naturally’ the, groat world rebolled - against being thus orusted over with tho vicos of tho motropolis. ‘The Renaissance was a propheoy of the coming of a botfer day and not a return, to the pagan ideas and forms. It is ofton spoken of aun mero rovival of the epoch of art and esthotic porfoction which had elopt for sevoral conturies since tho Aryan race lind been tho dominant ong iu Italy. Tha sponlkor Emcaudm'l to skotch tho gonlus of art in Italy at the beginning of tho Ronnissance, and reforred to tho influonce of the great sculp- tor, painter, and architest, Michaol Angelo. From the roforms of this day oamo the forcos ‘whioh havo since moldedand formed our modern socioty. In Italy, philosophy and religion wero mado intolligible to tho souses. Tho offort of Rome to crown hor ora with & porfoot art awoke the foreos which ovontually overthirow her power. With the discovery of the New World, and tho awakening of tho Old, began the decline of the more influence of locality, and tho ors of the pre- ponderauce of abstract idons was born, | The intluence of Spain waes quite frecly com- mented upon, as also the offect o f the Crusades, whon tho Knights went forth with Iatce snd sword to conquor, and brought back manuscripts wwhich taught thom how ignorant they had boen, Tho tondoncy.of that agoe towardj musio was | briefly discussed, showing what an ‘cssontial it Bad beoommo to tho onjoymont of mankind by tho productions of tho masters of tho Renais- eancd:’ In speaking of tho great of Gormany, tho lecturer paid an oloquent tribute to the two Von Humboldts, Alexander ond Willlom, The influeuce of woman upon that ago, and tho reflox action of tho age upon woman woroe briefly delneatod. In olosing this reforence, Mra, Adams paid o bosutiful tribute to the Jato Mra. Oollier” to" whoso memory the Alemorial Chapel was erected. In closing, the lecturer drow the attention of the audienco to the rosults of tho creative ideas of the Age of thoe Ronnissnnco umm tho presont day, and cited the tendoncy of this age toward harmony and unity of purpose in tho Intorests of humanity all over the world. —_— LENT.

EXIT MAYNAUD & CO. Tne TrIDUNE, about ton days ago contalned a fuil expose of & swindling lotfory schome, pur- porux]:& to boe conducted by Maynard & Co., at Mognolin, Ind. :Specimons of tho ciroulars wore aleo published to the effect that tho person addressed lad drawn a prize for $300, which would bo forwarded on_remitting tho trifling sum of 10. Of courso a large num- bor of our country cousins wore vordan cnough to remit that amount, with tho hope of getting tho $200. Nono of them, however, ns far ns known, wore so sucoossful. A fow days later, n man, who gave his namo as Morria Mnson, was arrosted at his * oflico " on LiaSalle stroet on the chargs of conducting a Iottery ; juat in time, too, to provent his roaping any fruits from tho nu- merous circulars o Liad gent out. Au information waa filed against him by the United Btates Distriot Attorney, in tho United States Circuit Court, charging that on tho Gth and 7th doys of Fobruary, he devisod a schemo to defraud by opening correspondonos with other persons by moaus of the Post-Oftice at Chicago, and, in oxeouting such schomoe,took a lotter from tho Poat-Oflico coutmsy to tho statuto in such caso made and provided. 3 Morris was brought up, and by advico of his counsol, Mr. Small, plonded f\liuy.

To tho surprige of everybody lie plended guilty. Tho Judgo was astonislied, and by dint of a fow loading questions found that the prisonor, who claimod £hat ho hod nover stolon bofora in Lis life, had takon tho blanket with a view of raising upon it enongh mouey to purchase » monl. Tho man, 85 ho stood in the court, had mot eaten since 11 o'clock Sunday morning! His story was that ho had worked all summer on the Chicago & Dacific Railroad, but, break- ing an arm, ho waa thrown omt of omployment and into s hospital, from which he emerged last December. The monoy ho had saved during the summer lasted him until recently, but thero came anendto itat 1nst, and tho young man, with an arm that had ‘but recontly hoaled, was forced to hard work as amonns of subsiatence. By dint of *'turning in " a ton of coal hers and thore ho managod to scrapo ahead, buta lack of work left him on Sunday last with only enough money to invest in & most frugnl moeal. Binco then he had not boon able to got any worlk, and had consequently beon obliged to go Without nnylhlnf to eat. Tho alternativo, * stoal or atarve,” was loft him, and tho firat law of naturo prompted him to steal.
