Young Mems Christian Association.

Lecture by DIR. Aruot mt the Hall Of tho
Young Mems Christian Association.
Scottish divine-tne Rev. DR.. Arnot-delivered
lecture last evening at the hall OF the Young Mems
Christian Association in Twenty-thrd street on the
subject of "Water.n The speaker began by de.
scribing the formation OF the world, in chaos from
fire and water. Describing an arch he seized upon
the idea that mortar could not be made without
water, and, rising to o sublime height OF rhetoric,
e, Traced crop g es new he ana rain
becoming animated by the subject, till bis enthust-
asm found expression In the transition Of liquid
gobule from the filth in which 1t might have been
Immersed TO the heavens which 1t entered,
PURE AS AN ANGEL.
Then, with touch OF pathOS, he added:-If the
tears OF men could be tracedthe tears for instance
OF that MAN Of So-rows," TO what q history would
they give birth OF transitions from the pure TO the
lmpure from the pearly dew TO the black ciocoa OF
the sewers. Paschal fell upon the master stroke Of
his philosophy when the monks OF ST. Bernard
showed him that 1t was impossible to boil meat in
the higher regions OF the Alps on account OF the
rarity OF the atmosphere. The philosopher had been
but when he asked for boiled meats they shook their
heads. Then the speaker partially explained the
physical causes for this apparent phenomenon, and
thence passed into review Of
TIE BIBLICAL HISTORY OF WATER

Intended 10 convert the heather as well as interest
them.
After the lecture proper the speaker essayed q
Few remarks on the subject Of the English speaking
nations. He had been wont to say that In America
alone mad the Anglo-Saxon tongue been used by
tn0se instrumental IN slavery. Now he could say
that tyranny could md no home In the haunts OF
those who speak our language. There was a wire
stretching from the other shore the sea to this,

men performed similar functions ana tnat ne might
influence his own country with warmer regard
for America on his return.

others addressed the speaker In behalf OF the
meeting.

THs FREE COLLEGE.
The Kelly Prize Debate Last Evening.

The Kelly Prize Debate Last Evening.
The Kelly prize debate between the literary socie-
ties Of the College OF the City OF New York took place
last evening az Steinway Hall. There was. notwth-
standing the uncomfortable weather, quite a large
audience, who seemed during the proceedings more
anxious to keep cool by means Of incessant tanning
than to give an attentive ear to the speakers II
would be almost impossible TO give anything like
correct sketch OF the arguments used by the young
gentlemen who took part In the debate, not so much
from the fact that the question debated was rather
pecuiiar-not to use strong expression-but that
each person who took part In the discussion spoke
twice, thus effectualiy weakening the general argu
mens put forth by both sides In the first encounter
The momentous question was, 'is the whole con-
dition OF society resulting from the influence OF
popular form OF government favorable to the
growth OF splendid national terature9 2" The gen.
tlemen who spoke in the affirmative were the fol.

Mail Lettings for Arizona.

The Washington correspondent of the Alta writes: The following is correct list of the mail lettings, in Arizona, for the four years from July lst, lS7o to July lst 1874:
 ROUTES.
 Hardyville to Yuma, to James Grant, price, S7, ,44s. Hardyville to St. George, to James Grant, price, S6,Sl5.
 Tucson to Wickenburg, to Zeckendorf & O., price, $5,92l.
 Tucson to Tubac, to Frit & Constant, price, Sl 400.
 Tucson to Sasabi Flat, to Frit & Constant, price S2, 100.
 San Bernardino to Prescott, to James Grant, price, Sl6,44S.
 Mesilla to Los Angeles, to Rice & Gddings, price, S63,000.
 All these routes have been taken at much lower rates than ever before, and it is thought here that the service from Mesilla to Los Angeles (Dia San Diego) cannot possibly be performed at the price named. This service is for twice week. The other service in the Territory is for once week. No other routes than those named were let, or will be let for the present All the contractors are citizens of the Territory, except Messrs. Rice and Giddings, who arc of Texas.
 Isaac N. Dawey, the new Postal Agent for Arizona, will leave here in a few days fol Tucson and promptly relieve the pugnaciour Major Dufiield.

lCommunicated.l And they Washed his Feet"

On last Sunday evening, scene occurred at the saloon of Jackson & Bro, which, for inexpressible richness, beats anything that has transpired here for long time. Those two irrepressible humorists and excellent cit izens, R. W. Groom and Wm. Cole, were quietly sitting in said saloon, enjoying them selves in social conversation with their friends, and cracking high old jokes, when an individ- ual, in a somewhat inebriated condition, en. tered, and proceeded to address himself in rather a pointed manner, to our worthy friends aforesaid. He waxed warm, and jumped around fearfully, and soon an. odor arose thick and strong-a peculiar odor called Zoe jam. Our worthy friends bore this as long as they could, and then seizing the afore- said frantic inebriate, they bore him to the sidewalk, and taking oil his shoes, they pro- cured a bucket of water and proceeded to wash his feet, much to his disgust for he kicked and struggled frantically, and for some time afterwards refused to be comforted. It was rich scene.

HE apish pedagoguc who writes weak twaddle for the Tucson Shinp,aster, is praying away, as usual, at the MINER, with the view of getting us to notice him. We cannot withstand much more noise from this long cared member of the brute creation, and may sec fit, one of these days, to lash him into submission. The fellow has evidently mis- taken his mission, for, instead of being en- gagged in a profession he knows nothing about, he should be at work, nursing small -pox patients.
