Studdard, who is about to return to the Academy of Music. Esch year he has appeared with @ new lecture course, to prepare. which he has sSpeht summer aftér sommer in fcreien lands. In this way he hes sten and re- turned to tell of london, Paris, Be-tia, Vi- enna end other Buroptan cities. He has extended his travels to the Holy Land, and made fgmiliar the pyramids and the Nile. In the north his adventurous spirit carved him to the land of the midnight sun, which he viewed from the North Cape itself. After these travels he sighe? like Alexan- der for more worlds to conquer. But ha’ ing explored all places possible to see time between the conclusion of ene lecture season and the beginning of another it was necessary to make a bolder plan. Accard- ingly he resolved to give up an entire yea to travel In lands more distant than he had before seen. Crossing our continent and embarking at Vancouver, B. C., he himeelf, after a stormy fortnight the: Pacific, in the harbor of Yokohama. Maay. weeks were spent in Japan, whose sunny tempered, hospitable people made him so welcome that it was With regret that he de- | parted thence. A few days sail carried him j to Hong Kong. and from thereto Canton. His stay in China was not long, but his many and almost indescribable experiences there and the utter strangeness of all-his surroundings and conditions made his Visit there something so remarkable that he hardly expects to parallel it in his Mfe time, travel he to the ends of the earth. Another delightful voyage in tropical sans carried him to the Island ef Ceylon. He was then nearly to the equator, and though in their coolest days he had often to todge a tropical sun, or house himself for hours at midday. The famous isle, however, yteld- ed him much enjoyment under novel condi- tions, and his visit to the interior uplands had a historic interest derived from the bulldt and ruins which date from the days of the supremiacy of the influence of Buddha, who in early times lived oa the island. : <) From Ceylon to India was but a few days’ voyage. Here were spent many weeks, Vis- iting the fine English capitals, Celcutta and Bombay, studying caste and Hinddoisin at Benares, observing the memorals of Britishpluck and of pathetic fate atlacknow and Cawnpore, tracing the career of nogul potentates at Delhi, and crowning al his previous knowledge of natural scenery with the unapproachable glories of the H lay~ as. Hence, journeying ever westw: he reached Europe, where he put. into shape the overtlowing pages of his note-books, and completed the course of lectures which is now to be given. So unprecedented is the demand already indicated that the minage- ment has arranged to give each lecture three ; times over, making three complete ccurses, | as follows: Course A, Monday and Thirsday \ evenings, March 12, 15, 19, 22, 26; course B, Tuesday and Friday evenings, March 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, course C, rch 1 A 24, 28, the three courses being exactly alike.

The sale of course tickets begins omer- row morning. —>— Hageor Cases, | Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, wh has charge of the prosecution of District cases im the Police Court, has almost finishd the District docket of jury cases.
