EON. SCHOILER COLFAX Will Deliver a Lecture on At WILLEY & SIGLGH’3 ©PERA BOUSE, Rensselaer, Thursday Evening, 'ay 20. Mr. Colfax has delivered this Lecture in all parts of the country, receding everywhere unstinted praise, and applause No man knew Presi aent Lincoln more intimately during the most trying period of his life ■, than Mr Colfax, and this lecture is not made up of matter already published, but gives an entirely now view of the pure character of the man who had charity for all and malice toward none.” Read What the Press* Says of It s

From Christian at Work.—Our former Vice President, Mr. Colfax, de ivered an eloquent, unique and rousing lecture to a large audience at Brooklyn, last Saturday night, the stormiest night of the season. His theme was “Abraham Lincoln.” Mr. Colfax for four years was in Mr. Lincoln’s most intimate confidence. The lecture is not a hash ol olc stories, but a new revelat oa. It is the heart and home of Abraham Lincoln turned inside out. The lecture is worth fifty ordinary lyceum lectures. It ought to be heard in every hall, church, town and city of the country. From Springfield, Mass., Republican.—Schuyler Colfax, in his lecture upon Aoiaham Lincoln, at the City' Hall, last night, met a notably cordial welcome. Springfield gave him a substantial responsive audience, noticeable for its diversified, respectable character. The lectors was, of course, in the highest degree an intimate, appreciative review, full of intelligent discernment of the character, life and labors of President Lincoln, brimming over with those famous “stories.” Many people pressed forward to greet Mr. Colfax after his talk ; and the succeeding Odd Fellows’ reception at their hall was an enthusiastic compliment to their dietinguished brother, as the rooms were completely filled by the members of the order and their invited friends. From Burlington, la., Gazette,Dem: Mr. Colfax's lecture was a magnificent one, and listened to most attentively by his auditory. It was such a lecture as every school boy in the country should hear—one that would cause the youth to revere and emulate the virtues of Abraham Lincoln. The speaker’s words recall many sadimages of the war to every heart—but through all, the central figure was that plain, blunt man whose tender heartedness shone out in every act.— The lecturer was frequently interrupted by applause.

From Kansas City, Mo., Times,Dem. —lt vVas a large and intelligent audi etice that greeted Schuyler Colfax at the Second Presbyterian Church, last evening, to hear him lecture upon “The Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln.” One rarely sees an assem. bly of hearers, all of whom seemed so interested and attracted, and gave such undivided attention to the speaker. Mr. Colfax was introduced by Mr. John Doggett and the audience responded to his bow with loud applause His manner of address, so pleasant and free, seemed to captivate his hearers at- once. He began his address by touching upon the humble birth of Mr. Lincoln, and passed rapidly over his earlv life, barely mentioning his rise and success to the time of his election to the Presidential chair. His remarks were replete with interest, humor, pathos, and admirable senti ments. The entire lecture was an ex cellent delineation of the life and character of the man who had “mal ice toward nose, but charity for all,” The lecture was given under the auspices of the Y. M. C IA., and it is safe to say that all present were highly entertained and pleased with Mr. Col fax ns a gentleman and orator. From the St. Louis, Mo., Democrat: As a whole the lecture was a most remakable one, worthy of the fame of the man to whose memory it was de voted. From St. Paul, Minn., Anti-Monop-olist. —Ex-Vice President Colfax delivered three lectures last week, in this. State, as follows* at Aus.in, Rochester and Lake City. He was well received at all those places, having a larger house at the latter place than any speaker that ever visited the city. His lecture is entirely devoid of politics, the subject being the “Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln.”
