SCIENTIFIC LECTURES
The series of lectures, announced in the
Gazette of last week, by President T. P.
Campbell, A. M., of Monmouth College,
were delivered in tbe Presbyterian church,
this city, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day evenings of this week. We attempt
below, a brief but imperfect review of these
able and interesting discussions. In the first
lecture, the Speaker treated of the sponta
neons origin of life as a basis of evolution,
showing the impossibility of beings of horn
ogeneous structure, and riropagating their
spteies by self-division, ever taking on addi
tional organs or developing from lower to
higher specific forms. Reversions, or the
appearing in orie Species of the parts or or
gans peculiar to another ; and also the
strange freaks of nature in embryonic de
velopment, showing the c uidal appendage
of the quadruped and the gill-arches of
the fish in all vertebrate animals including
man, were shown to have nothing to do
with evolution.
The second lecture dealt with the curious
facts of rudimentary organs in a remarkably
clear and strong argument, showing a mas
ter's hand. The geological and paleontolo-
gical arguments were also discussed with
perfect fairness.
The third lecture showed that the mirac
ulous creatiou of a species is as strictly seien
titic as any other fact, if it is sustained by
the best testimony and meets more fully the
necessities of the case. The singular and
very ingenious theory of " microcosmic em
bryology," or the existence of all possible
forms of life in the life-gem of every species,
as life images, or potentialities, was used
most artistically to explain the wonderful
facts of reversions, embryology, inheritance
and transmissions of instincts, characteris
tics, habits, etc. The distinction between
human intelligence and animal instinct was
interesting and quite satisfactory. The im
mortality, not of the soul merely, but of the
entire man, soul, body and spirit, was se.
forth in a manner evidently peculiar to the
speaker and highly complimentary to the
dignity and grandeur of man. The lecture
closed with a compliment to the Bible and a
eulogy upon man truly grand in conception
and eloquent in expression.
Many of our citizens are just now engaged
in harvest, absent in the mountains and at
the coast, causing the attendance at these
lectures to be not as large as their high mer
it deserves. The subject is one of very
great importance, and it was handled by
President Campbell in a purely scientific
manner. The authors whom he reviewed
were treated with the utmost fairness and
greatest courtesy, and spoken of as masters in
physical science. The speaker regarded it
as peculiarly unfortunate that the philoso
phers who see so clearly what God has
done in nature, should refuse to hear what
He has said in the Bible.
A Pilgrim, but not a Stranger. Mr.
James A. Yautis, Deputy Boss of this paper,
started for the Bay last Wednesday, to be
absent a week or ten days, or as long as he
can stand the landlords off for grub. We
mention the fact for various reasons. First,
to warn the hotels to enforce the rule in re
gard to advance payment from "gentlemen
without baggage." Second, that the clam
diggers may understand that the time has
now arrived for them to stand guard over
their "beds." Third, that the farmers may
take the precaution to make their chickens
roost high, and corral their loose stock.
There are numerous other reasons why he
should be announce !, -but we will defer
them until we hear from the special detect
ive who is on his track. He carries with
him seven bits in absolute money, a second
hand tooth-pick, a pair of brass mounted
spectacles, an amazing cheek, and an appe
tite like a threshing machine. Owing to
the depleted condition of his exchequer, he
took Foot & Walker's line of travel, and was
last seen hooting it westward over the grade
of the Yaquina railroad.
He trudged along, unknowing what he
sought,
And whistled as be went, for want of
thought. Drydm.
Around the World. We are in receipt
of a specimen copy of the pictorial journal
of the Woodruff expedition, to be edited by
the officers of the Faculty, and published
on board the ship, in all parts of the world.
This journal is first printed on board ship,
then duplicated in Sew York and sent to
subscribers. The cost of membership in
the expedition is $3000 ; time occupied,
eighteen months, and will travel over forty
thousand miles.
Closed. Prof. Conner's writing school
closed on Thursday eveuing of last week.
There were two prizes given, $5 for the
most improvement, and a pen drawing for
the finest writing. For the first the judges
were unable to deci-.le between the speci
mens of Miss Lizzie Bayley and Charley
Young, and so the prize was divided be
tween them. Miss Lena Harris carried off'
the drawing, although she had several com
petitors whose specimens were excellent.
Fatal Accident. Last Saturday Mr.
Wm. Harkihs, an old and highly respected
citizen of this county, while going from his
farm near Monroe to Junction with a load
of shingles, was thrown from his wagon and
severely injured about the head and breast,
from the effects of which he died on Tues--day
morning. The remains were taken to
Salem Wednesday for interment. Deceased
was-72 years of age.

Albany and Lebanon R. R. Mr. John
Hurlburt, civil engineer, who has been at
work upon the West Side extension, has
gone to make a survey for a line of railroad
from that place to Lebanon a distance of
twelve miles. It is reported that the Ore
gon and California J tailroad Company have
signified to the people ofthat section that
if they will give the right of way and grade
the road the company will furnish the rails
and lay the track ; and it is believed that
the proposition will be accepted. The road,
if built, will be of standard gauge. Grad
ing will be very easy, as the conntry from
Albany to Lebanon is simply a level plain.
The road would be of great convenience and
advantage to a large section of Linn county,
and at the same time would be an important
feeder of the main line.
Quick Work. Last Wednesday while
the Bonanza was coming through the locks
at Oregon City, a lady on board took a
sketch of the locks and surroundings. Be
fore the boat had reached this place she had
converted tbe same into a beautiful picture,
2x3 feet in size. The picture was painted
with different colored paints, and is said to
be well executed, giving a very fair idea of
what she intended to represent. The lady
belongs to the German colony above Corval
lis, and iias been down on the Columbia riv
er painting different views and sending to
her former home, Germany. Salem States-
Radical Extirpation. When a nice
yonng mm from Second street went to see
his' girl, the other night, he encountered the
old man, who was cleaning a fine- new shot
gun and observing that he guessed the other
needn't come round there any more. Hav
ing withdrawn from the premises some dist
ance, and looking back over his shoulder
sorrowfully, the youth beheld the old gen
tleman strangely engaged inside the gate :
He was shoveling up the young man's tracks
and throwing them over the fence.

Surveying. Geo. Mercer returned from
Alsea bay last Saturday, where he has been
surveying government land. He subdivid
ed four townships and run the township
lines of three more. He informs ns that a
large portion of the land thus opened to
settlement is of the very best quality, and
that his recent work will open up homes for
a large number of settlers.
Benton County Blade. The first issue
of the Benton County Blade was issued last
Friday morning, by C. L. Mosher & Co.
Mr. Mosher, the editor, is a yonng man of
ability and energy, and will doubtless make
just as good a paper of the Blade as is pos
sible tor a Leraocrat to do.
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES FOR ALL.
The Great Art Publishing Huse of George
Stinson & Co., of Portland, Maine, moves
steadily on the even tenor of its way, ap
parently not feeling the dull times. Dur
ing year 1878 they sold over Four Million
pictures of all descriptions. They publish
every description of fine pictures, and the
prices range from ten cents upwards to
twenty dollars per copy. Their correspond
ence for this large business is immense ;
they receive, on an average, over one thou
sand letters per day. Messrs. Stinson &
Co. publishing only the better class of pic
tures, and it is well known that anything
coming from tins reliable house is of stand
ard merit. We have just received copies of
lour very hue steel engravings, which tliey
have just brought out. The plates were en
graved in London, at an expense of four
thousand pounds sterling, or twenty thou
sand dollars, to which great sum must be
added the customs duty of twenty-five per
cent, on account of their being imported
into the United States. These engraving
are after paintings by great modern masters
of art, and the artists who engraved the
plates stand in the front rank of the world's
renowned eimravinas.
It is believed, and generally conceded.
that these engravings make up the finest
and most elegant set of works ot high art
ever brought out by American publishers.
This enterprising firm, though many years
in the Art Publishing business, have not
grown old and un progressive, but on the
other hand make improvement and progress
year by year, giving the people better and
better pictures for the same or less money.
They may, we feel sure, fairly claim to
stand at the head of the Art Publishing
business in America. We cm only under
stand the colossal proportions their trade
has assumed by remembering that this is a
great and mighty nation of nearly fifty mil
lion people. We cau not better illustrate
the magnitude of their business than to
state the amount of money paid by them
tor postage stamps during the years 1876,
1877 and 1878. We have the figures direct
from the firm, or we should think there was
some error. In 1876, they paid for postage
833.104 92. In 1877, they paid for postage
sf?;zBB 7b. In ISi 8 the amount ot money
that they paid for postage stamps was sim
ply enormous a little over $50,000 00.
Stinson & Co. stand among the largest and
most ludicious advertisers in the country.
and a short time since paid in a single dav
$24,000 00 in cash on a contract for adver
tising. They employ agents everywhere
throughout the United States and Dominion
of Canada for the sale of their pictures by
subscription ; we call attention to their ad
vertisement for agents in another column.
Those who need pleasant, profitable work.
should correspond with them.
.Besides paying the lar e amounts of post
age stated above, their express and freight
bil s are enormous only small orders are
sent by mail, the larger being sent by ex
press anil freignt. American homes should
lie made beautiful by refinen works of art,
and prices for really meritorious pictures are
now so low thot there can be no excuse tor
the walls to remain gloomy, unadorned anil
cheerless. Ameri jau homes should be made
beautiful, and the tendency of this will be
to make more refined and ueautiful the lives
of all dwellers therein.
Accident. On Thursday night of last
week Mr. C. Halbwachs, of this city, was
thrown from a horse and seriously injured.
He had been at work in the country, and
was just starting home when bis horse be
came unmanageable, threw him and then
kicked him, breaking several ribs aud bruis
ing his head considerable. Drs. Johnston
and Green were called, and at last accounts
the patient was doing well. ,

Fellows' Compound syrupis acknowledged
by physicians to be a composition which
gives beneficial results in cases of debilita

Don't Forget It.
If you are troubled with nervousness are
lisheartened tired of life, fear death or feel
out of sorts as the saying is, you may safely
conclude that you h ive the Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt to
liecome torpid this season of the year as
poisons arising from stagnant water
or decaying vegetation are more numerous
and are through inhalation taken into the
blood. l.nless the liver is strong and active
and furnishes a supply of fresh and pure
blood to drive out the impurities, the above
mentioned syintoms surely follow, and if
not heeded, end in more terribJc diseases
and death. White's Prairie flower proves
itself the threat Liver Panacea. Tts action
on the liver is different from any medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are truely won
derful. Try it. Price twenty-five cents
and seventy-five cents.
Ask Yourself these Questions.
Are you a despondent sufferer from Sick
Headache, Habitual Costiveness, Palpita
tion of the Heart ? Have you Dizziness of
the Head ? Is your Nervous System de
pressed? Does your Blood circulate badly J
Have yon a Cough? Low Spirits? Com
ing up of the food after eatine ? All
of these and much more are the direct re
sults of Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and
Indigestion. Green's August Flower is
now acknowledged by all Druggists to be a
positive cure. 2,400,000 bottle were given
away in the U. S. through Druggists to the
people as a trial. Two doses will satisfy
any person of its wonderful quality in cur
ing all forms of Indigestion. Sample bot
tles 10 cts. Regul.ir size 75 cts. Sold posi
tively by all first-class Druggists in the
United States.
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 for 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 aud successfully
using. Address with stamp, naming this
