to Eugene on Thursday, doing good
work. He is one of God's noble old

him many years as a laborer in His vin

There was a perfect jam at the Court
House"Iast evening- the gallery was
crowded and all available space taken
up, while many were gathered in the
yard, and other: remained on the plat
form in front of the building, not being
able to'find places in the body of the
building. We have seldom seen a
more attentive or better behaved audi
ence. It is true that there were one or
two in that vast audience that did not
seem .to comprehend the position they
occupied nor the place they were in.
By the use of low, vulgar and obscene
language they insulted the ladies and
children in close proximity to them, l
giving the most conclusive evidence
that they sorely needed a change of
heart. Instead of being considered
brave, such cond net is looked upon by
the great majority of mankind as a
mark of" abject cowardice. In the case
above mentioned we think whisky was
the moving cause, as the smell of whis
ky was oppressive in their immediate
vicinity. Oh, whisky, whisky 1 thou
destroyer of men's bodies and souls, how
much of sin and misery' in this world
of ours must be laid at thy door !
