Conference Francaise.

MEETING LAST NIGHT.

Mr. Lloyd McKim Garrison lectured last evening before the Conference Franchise on "Realism," as exemplified in La Terre, by Emil Zola. He said in brief that the code of morals depicted was far from that which exists, and which one would wish for. He further said that the demands for books of this sort was due to the low tastes in some classes, caused in part by the literature of the day, but that such a book would have no effect on the general tone of the people. The question was commented upon from the floor, then the Conference adjourned.
