Prof. D'ooge's "life In Athen's."

The announcement that Prof. M. L. D'Ooge, who has just returned from Greece, was to give a leeture at the Sunday school room of the Congregational church last Thursday evening, called together a full house to welcome his safe return and to listen to his instructive lecture on the above topic. The professor's vivid description of the wonderful Rcenery and detailed account of its several points and objects of interest were highly appreciated. The subject afforded the professor a wide range, and scenery, character, history, progres?, prospects for the future, classic allusions, and many other matters of interest were treated with great vividness and interest. His account of the politics of Athens was entertaining. The Athenians are devided into two political parties, the peace party wearing olive leaves or branches, and the other laurel. He attended a political meeting where the speaker was standing on a pillar that was hundreds of years old, and near at hand there was a man beating a drum to disturb a rival meeting. A mornicg paper in the ancient city condemned this plan of campaign, saying that it would not have occurred in any place in the world - except in America. At the close of Prof. D'Ooge's lecture, he received many hearty and earnest greetings from those who had not met him before since his return.
