this city to the largest and most intel
ligent audience which we have ever
seen assembled on a similar occasion
in Albany. The seats of the spacious
court room were crowded and several
people were compelled to stand ap
for want of better Recommendations
Mrs. NJ. is the youngest ~lecturess we
have yet sect upon the rostrum, being
apparently considerably upon the
sunny side of thirty; has large, dark
gray eyes, black glossy hair falling in
wavy luxuriance over a slender but
well.rounded figure, and-well, we
never were much at home on This
thing of describing a woman; but
suffice to say that we regard her as a
very pre-possessing lady-one who
would grace the home circle with a
charm which most of these women
lecturers do not possess. Her man.
ner of delivery is slow and easy, her
articulation distinct but not loud, her
gestures few but graceful-in fact
there is q sort of n~aturalness about
disappearance upon the rostrum which
cannot fail to favorably impress the
observer. OF her lecture, we have
only space t. say that it was written
in well chosen language and abound
ed in good sense and practical ideas,
with a vein of poetry running through
it which lent an additional attraction.
She-favored the elevation, education
and enlightenment of woman, and
urged her admission into all legiti-
mate of labors and duties to
which she was by nature and educa-
ton fitted, at the same wages and
emoluments allowed to man. She
opposed woman suffrage and believed
that men had but little to fear from
any woman who mounted the ros-
run and bawled herself hoarse simply
to attain the privilege of voting. She
believed that style of woman would
soon pass off of the stage of action as
the Amazonians of old had done.
never to reappcar, No intelligent
audience can hear. her lecture without
experiencing a rare pleasure. At the
close of her lecture she read one%of
Joaquin's poems, but the noise made
by people getting up and going out
prevented us from hearing the greater
part of it. We are informed that she
lectures in Eugene this evening, and
in Corvallis next Monday evening.
GENUINE ENTERPRIsE.-A. Wheel
er, Esq, the indefatigable, energetic,
unsubduable, i~mpregnable, liberal
hearted and enterprising merchant at
Shedd's Station, has a column adver-
tisement in to-day's DEMOCRAT. Let
our readers in that neighborhood re-
member this and give him their pat
ronage. Show him that yoa appreciate
This liberality. Any man who adver-
tises so freely as does Wheeler will do
to tie to-he's got too much music in
his soul to be aft for treasons, strate-
gems and spo;ls." If you send your
child to his store you may expect full
weight and no watered sugar or brick
dust tea. Read his advertisement and
go to hiE store to trade. We like men
who are willing to let other people
(even the poor printer live as well as
themselves.

distance for a pleasant walk, and nov
