It was uoticeable in A litany by a gravelike stillness, which lue few here seemed to enjoy Immensely. Of what was done in other places we shall not attempt to speak, leaving the various big times to be told by our correspondents, or left un told, as we rem iin.nl at heme and cele brated lit private, on a small scale.

ThU distinguished lawyer and lecturer spoke in the Court II mse last Tuesday evening to a large and appreciative audi ence. Her theme was, "Shall the sale o intoxicating liquors be prohibited in Ore gon." She handled the subject in an able gtan&er, displaying more of the logic of the lawyer and less ot sentiment than mqst Women lecturers. She spoke in ap elo quent, forcible manner, mixing wit with logic, and keeping tbe attention of her large audience as few speakers ore able to 4 j.

She spoke for an boor and a half.the interest in what he said never nagging for a moment. A Move! Ride. Last Saturday we had the pleasure of a ride through the streets of Albany after one of the Ruseel traction engines. It was a novel kind of a way for navigation, but o satisfactory one, notwithstanding the fact that tbe engine ran off tbe track, for it exhibited the splendid working quali ties of the Rqssel engine. Many uieje ex perienced than we stated that they never saw an engine run bettor or iu re easily.

There are men who raise nothing but wheat, who have to buy oven their potato, cabbtgee. butter, etc., and It is no wonder that that they do not get along.

We claim tbe SlOM, and will en umerate : There was no large collection of 000 apoclee of snakes in tke menagerie thero was no giant horse 21 hsnds high,' there were no giant kangaroca, they were all email ones, there was no ostrioh.tbere were no sea llons,no south African trntles. ne tapir, no New Holland emus, ne gib- 'boon, no Virginia panther, no Palestine skojp, no Cashmere goat, no browa boar, ne Peruvian alpaoa.no African porcupine, no wolves, badgera, beavers, coons, ne parrots, eagles, etc., etc. Tnere was ni whirling over fixed bay onets by Arabs, nor turning ef somer sets by men oa roller skates, there were no three lady bareback riders, there was only one; there wee no snake charmer, there was no ladder act, there were no double somersets by tweniy-five: there were by tbree, there were not nine clows. there was no slide for life by tbe hair of the bead, etc., yet the circus was sxtraud by far the host ever in Oregon. We do net state those things to find fault, but to get the ttOOO which we need la our busi ness.
