Wiisihas, It has come to our knowledge
that our Christian brother and fellow work
er, Rev. N. II. Alley, has tendered bis res
ignation as pastor of the Christian Church,
of Eugene, to take effect ou Monday, Aug,
31st, lM'.tl.
Therefore, we desire, as members of the
Ministerial Union of Eugene, to express our
lincere and profound regret that Tur broth
er hai felt oalled upon to do 111 is, and our
most esrnest hope, tliat after due considera
tion, it may not seem necessary or best for
his church to accept hia resignation, or for
Bro. Alley to urge it further.
We desite to eipress our respect fur and
belief in the honesty and sluoerlty of
Biother Alley's character aa a man and a
minister of the Oospel. We believe, that
in bis heartfelt devotion to tbe oatise of
Christ, in bis honest loyalty to the church,
in his supreme deaire to see the kingdom
of Christ built np and souls saved, and in
bis earnest and successful labor (hereto,
no person iu Eugene can show a more
commendable record.

Before Iteniv Jackson, the educated In
dian from (be Klamath agenoy, left for bit
home in the Inva bed country the other day,
he having been at Salem attending con
ference, Mr. Jackson, saya tbe Statesman,
ia a Pitt River Indian aud must b nearly
forty years of age. He remembers having
been brought to the Klamath oouutry when
quite small, lie said there remained at
this time less tbsn IKK) Indians, including
women and children, on the agency, and
nearly all of these were Klamntbs. There
are a very few Pitt Rivers. Of men, of the
Modocs, less (ban eightoen remain to tell
the story of thisonoe powerful tribe. Of
Snakes (here ate twenty braves. When
asked if it were true (hat the Indiana were
dying off rapidly, Mr. Jaokson replied that
It was only too (rue. llessld their numbers
were growing gradually smaller as tbe years
rolled on. A vary tew years will see tbe
last Uodocs and Snakes lowered into their
graves. There being more of them, there
will be Klanialhs when the others are all
gone. Consumption is the fell destroyer.
The Indians ste nearly all affected with it,
and not ouly the old, out the young as well,
are sncouiubing ever day to it. Mr. Jack
son has studied the habits and lite of bis
people and gives it as his opinion that it is
the chanue ol life attendant nnon civiliza
tion that ia soon to make of the American
Indian an unknown quantity and thus aolve
out poiut at least of tbe race problem.
