math, and the Corvallis club, met on the
diamond and played the second game of the
series. F. A. Vincent again acted as um
pire, and R. H. Loyd as scorer for the Chal
lengers, and O. E. Carter for the Corvallis
club. The score stood as follows :

The series of games were for a ball and
bat, and the Corvallis club having won the
first games brought home the spoils. The
ground being rough and situated on a decid
ed slope, there were many more scores
made, on both sides, than there would if the
ground had been level. The boys speak
very highly of the manner in which they
were treated by the Philomath club, and
say that, with the exception of a few mash
ed fingers, nose3, lips, jeto., the luxuries of
the game, they had an excellent time.

his grand mission, delivered a lecture a few
evenings since, at Turn Halle, in Portland,
entitled the " Republic Universelle," in the
form of a pronunciato by him as President
of the universe by appointment from Nat
ural Providence, or the Republic Univer
selle, by and through which it is proposed
to reorganize and reform the world, which
be proposes to do by means of an Interna
tional Peace Congress, or High Senate. He
bad a very small audience, on that occasion.
While in Corvallis, he displayed a sign"
as doctor, but did not seem to attract any
customers. It is rumored that he spent a
portion of his time in the forests, near the
city, communing with what he called "the
Holy Ghost. " The Portland papers speak

it having arrived there a week or so ago
While over at the Bay Colonel decided to
locate the western terminus of the Yaquina
road at the point first selected instead of at
Foulweather, for reasons which will not at
present be made public. He will go before
the Board of Engineers while at San Francis
co and do his best to have the Harbor of

be pushed right along until the grading is
all completed ; and by that time the iron
will be on hand ready to commence laying

INQERSQL'S ELOQUENCE.
LAST TRIBUTE TO HIS DEAD BROTHER IN
WASHINGTON.
Washington, June" 3. The funeral of
Hon. Ebon C. lngersoll, brother of Col.
Robert G. lngersoll of Illinois, took place
at his residence this afternoon. The cere
monies were extremely simple, consisting
merely of viewing the remains by relatives
and friends and a most eloquent and impres
sive funeral oration by Col. lngersoll. A
large number of distinguished gentlemen
were present, including Secretary Sherman,
Senators Voorhees, Paddock, Allison, Gov.
Pound and others. The following is the
oration of Col. lngersoll, which was receiv
ed by all present With "marks of deep and
sincere feeling and sympathy :
My Friends I am going to do that
which the dead often promised he woald do
for me. The loved and loving brother, hus
band, father, friend, died where manhood's
morning almost touches noon, and while the
shadows still were falling toward the west.
He had not passed on life's highway the
stone that marks the highest point, but, be
ing weary for a moment, belay down by the
wayside, and using his burden for a pillow,
fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses
down his eyelids still. While yet in love
with life ami raptured with the world, he
passed to silence and pathetic dust. Yet,
after all, it may be best just in the happiest,
sunniest hour of all the voyage, while eager
winds are kissing every sail, to dash against
the unseen rock and in an instant to hear
the the billows roar around a sunken ship :
for whether in midsea. or 'mong the break
ers of the further shore, a wreck must mark
at last the epd of each and all. And every
life, no matter if its every hour is rich with
love and ever moment jewelled with a joy,
will, at its close, become a tragedy as sad
and deep and dark as can be woven of the
warp and woof, of mystery and death.
This brave and tender man in every storm
of life was oak and rock ; but in the sun's
time he was vine and flower. He was the
friend of all heroic souls. He clambered
the heights and left all superstitions far be
llow, while on his forehead fell the golden
dawning ot a grander day. He loved the
beautiful and was with color, form and mu
sic touched to tears. He sided with the
weak, and with a willing hand gave alms ;
with a loyal heart and with the purest hand
he faithfully discharged all public trusts.
He was a worshipper of liberty ; a friend of
the oppressed. A thousand times I have
heard him quote the words, " For justice
all places are a temple and all seasons sum
mer." He believed that happiness was the
only good, reason the only torch, justice the
only worshiper, humanity the only religion
and love the priest. He added to the sum
of human joy, and were every one for whom
he did some loving service to 1 ring a blos
som to his grave, he would sleep to-night
beneath a wilderness of flowers.
Life is a narrow vale between the cold
and barren peaks of two eternities. We
strive in vain to iook beyond the heights.
We cry aloud and the only answer is the
echo of our wailing cry. From the voice
less lips of the unreplying dead there comes
no word, but the night of death. Hope
sees a star and listening love can hear the
rustle of a wiBg. He who sleeps here,
when dying, mistaking the approach of
death for the return of health, whispered
with his last breath, "lam better now."
Let us believe in spite of doubts and dogmas
and tears and fears, that these dear words
are true of all the countless dead.
And to you who have been chosen from
among the many men he loved, to do the
last sad office for the dead, we give his sa
cred duet. Speech cannot contain our love.
There was, there is no gentler, stronger,
manlier man.
There were no ceremonies whatever at the
grave, but a pathetic scene occurred when
the Misses Lawlor, daughters of the late
Gen. Lawlor, and adopted children of Ebon
C. lngersoll, to whom they were devotedly
attached, took their last leave of their dead
foster father. One of them fainted in being
taken to her carriage and the other lingered
at the grave until almost forcibly led away
by her friends.
" Whatever promises a man may make
before marriage," said Jerrold, "the license
is as a receipt in full."
A base and irreclaimable philosopher has
said : " Woman is a clock that runs slow
after five-and-twenty."
In the United States there are 530 females
practicing as doctors, 420 as dentists, five
as lawyers and 68 as preachers.

When the system is run down to that
extent that you pass sleepless nights, are
nervous and irritable, have gloomy forebod
ings, sour stomach, sick headache and coat
ed tongue, do not enroll yourself as high pri
vate, in the rear rank, under General Debil
ity, but cheer up and try White's Prairie
Flower, The Great Liver Panacea, now for
sale in every city and town on the Continent.
No medicine ever compounded is half its
equal for the cure of DYSPEPSIA and LIV
ER COMPLAINT. It has a specific power
over the liver, and by curing the liver Dys
pepsia and all other diseases arising from it,
vanish as if by magic, Sample bottles are
sold at the small price of 25 cents that will
convince you of its merits. Large bottles
75 cents for sale everywhere.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician retired from active prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East Indian missionary the formula of a sim
ple vegetable remedy fOT the speedy and per
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
affections, also a positive and radical cure
for General Debility and all nervous com
plaints, after having thoroughly tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, feels it his duty to make it known
to his suffering fellows. The receipe will be
sent free of charge, to all who desire it, with
full directions for preparing and successfully
using. Address with stamp, naming this

TESTIMONIALS ;
Albant," April 20, 1879.
The undersigned physicians of Albany, having
seen the apparatus used in Ames' process for preserv
ing meats, etc. , and heard the manner of its use ex
plained, together with the chemicals used, will say,
that as used, we do not consider there is any danger
to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap
paratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav
ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva
tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat
ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona
ble, and wo can assign no cause why the process
should not prove a success.

The undersigned physicians of Corvallis, Oregon,
having had explained to us Ames' process for preserv
ing meats, etc. , can say that there is nothing un
healthy about it, as used, and that no fears need be
apprehended on that account. Wo have also seen
meat, fish, butter, etc., that has been kept several
weeks by this "process," and believe that its claims
to keep the various articles of provisions sweet and
fresh can be sustained. H. Green, M. D.,
