@" Peeping Tom" our respected
friend of the Tribune, appears anxious
to attract our attention. As the Cou-
rier's journey is about ended, we don't
know but that we shall have to occa-
sionally take him by the nose or pull
his ears (fguratively speaking) for inno-
cent diversion. We hope he will cult
vate that brain, however, which Profess
sor Fowler thought might be strength
ened by nocturnal applications of wet
bandages about the head. We Join
with that gentleman in the advice; by
all means, young man, put your head
to soak.

PRoF. FowLER's LECTURES. Fri
vate lectures of Prof. Fowler, on Sat-
urday afternoon and evening were
attended by fair proportion of our
community who were not too prudish
to seek information upon the great laws
which regulate life and social happiness.
The evenings discourse was of special
interest to young men, and his earnest
admopitions may serve to awaken those
who have erred from ignorance Of the
disastrous objects of dissipation. On
Sunday, the Professor lectured in the
afternoon and evening upon i" God and
Immortality" None who listened to
these discourses could fail to have their
thoughts directed in many new chan
nels all converging into the grand CEN
trail idea of just God and a glorious
immortality.

CHALLENGE TO THE CLERGY.-I hereby
invite any clergyman of Olympia or
Washington Territory, to meet me in a
public debate, upon the divine inspira-
tiono of the Bible. I will affirm that the
Bible is chiefly compilation from more
ancient writings, wherein are yelled,
in allegories, the mysteries of science.
I will deny that the Bible contains any
more divine inspiration than the Had.
If l am wrong, let the clergy show it by
logical argument before public audi
ence. await a response.

"AsTRo-THEoLoGY. PROF. CLANCY
commenced his second course of lee
lures in the lower room of the Odd
Fellows building, Wednesday evening
We regret that the audience was not
large, and that but few of our people
belonging to the various religious de-
nomination were present. The lee
lures contains large amount of scien-
tifc, literary, historical and philosoph-
ical matter and his astronomical charts
are valuable aid to lovers of the
science. A blind devotion to creed
should not be allowed to deprive large
portion of the community of these ben
efits. We hope the remaining lectures
will be better attended.

A NEW POWER IN THE LAND.

4 new organization, under the name
of Patrons of Husbandry,' has re-
Gently sprung into existence, and is
now said to number nearly two million
members. and to have oranges" i'll
twenty-five States of the Union. \
meeting of certain representatives of
the organization was recently held i'll
New York city, to deliberate upon the
best measures to render its power ef-
fective. The object appears to be to
free the producers from the exorbitant
charges of transportation exacted by
the great railroad corporations. The
means of accomplishing this end are
not yet made public if, indeed, they
have been decided upon, but that its
action will take the form of political
rartyism is altogether probable.
The movement in the West is exceed
ingly popular. In Iowa there is said
to be no less than 1900 oranges, with
an aggregate adult membership of 100, :
900 persons one half the vote of the
State. In the great States of Illinois,
Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana, the Or
ganization is making steady progress.
The farmers Of the country have long
realized that they were practically pow
erless in shaping or directing the laws
of commerce and exchange, although
primarily interested in all that affects
them. The conflicting interests be-
tween city and country have generally
been decided in favor of the former.
Compact bodies of men have had better
opportunity of controlling these inter
ests than the farmers who have not pos
sessed the means of personal communi-
cation for the interchange OF sentiment
Fortunately for the success of the
undertaking, the necessity became para
mount before any strength was wasted
in premature efforts, and consequently
the organization has spread with as
astonishing rapidity and its progress is
still unchecked. 1t is based upon
strong business wants, and appeals to
the pockets as we'll as the consciences
of its advocates. 1t is likely to exist
until modification of the causes that
have called it into life is effected. Its
natural affiliations will be with the OPP
ponents OF an Administration that has
given life and strength to SO many gi-
gantic corporations. Its power where
ever thrown as unit will be irresistible.
May we not hope that in this movement
of the sturdy yeomany of the country
we will find its deliverance from the
corruptions of the hour?

when the Legislature is in session, at
which time the Territorial Suffrage Con-
vention will meet in this place.

ODD FELLOWS GRAND LODGE.

WIZ Ao1AS" ~ SAshNS sSSSDs
The Portland Bulletin publishes full
reports of the proceedings of the II. W.
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the
jurisdiction Of Oregon. lately held at
the Dalles. From this source and from
the returned representatives of the
Olympia lodges, we learn that the ses-
sion was very harmonious, developing
great prosperity and bright prospects
for the Order throughout the jurisdic-
ton, which already numbers member
ship of more than 1000. Among the
Legislative acts we find that q resolution
was adopted asking permission from the
Grand Lodge of the United States for
the establishment of an independent
jurisdiction in Washington Territory,
upon petition of lodges in said Terrific
~ and of British Columbia. Probably
the only question that will arise i'll con-
sidering the proposition will be as to
the ability of the proposed new jurisdic-
ton to support Grand Lodge of its
own, rs the Grand Sire is understood
to hold to the view that the political
subdivisions of States and Territories
present the most natural and convent
ent boundaries for the several indepen-
dent jurisdictions of the Order.
The general legislation of the Grand
Lodge presents but little that would be
of interest to those not connected with
the Order, yet all must feel encouraged
that in these times of seltishness and
corruption, there is sufficient interest
among us in such matters to call to-
gether annually a convention SO repu-
table in numbers, for the sole purpose
of lesislatins upon matters of purely
benevolent character, looking for the
power to enforce it's enactments solely
to those instincts which lead men to do
good, that good may come of it.
Upon the question of fixing the place
for holding the next session of the
Grand Lodge, the only competition was
between Portland and Olympia, the
former place securing the honor. Sc
attic was separated from the Olympia
Lodges and made new District with
her Representative Cheadell as District
Deputy &. NJ. H. G. Strive was APP
pointed District Deputy G. NJ. for the
district embracing the two lodges of
this place. Bro. Strive was also elect
ed W. G.. Warden and Bro. Henry was
appointed G. Conductor of the II. w.
Grand Lodge Of Oregon for the ensu-
ing year.
Our Representatives speak in flowing
terms of the courteous, open-handed
welcome extended to their visitors by
the brethren of the Dalles. Among
other devices for their entertainment
was an excursion upon the cars over the
portage of the Dalles of the Columbia,
q distance of about fifteen miles, with
sufficient stoppages to allow the excur-
sionists to have look at the most noted
localities.

In TRouBLE.-It appears that the
stockholders of the Oregon Herald Pub
fishing Co. are not as united in senti-
ment as the success of their enterprise
demands that they should be, and con-
sequently that journal has lately become
somewhat noted for its cratic course.
Its readers were hardly prepared, how
ever, for the announcement of its total
suspension in last Tuesdays issue, Or
the statement in the succeeding number
that its former intimation was " mis-
take of the Foreman" We trust the
company will yet be able to reconcile
their difficulties and restore the Herald
to its former prudent and consistent
course.

ANOTHER GREAT SPECIE" FROM GRANT.
of all the consummate asses that have
disgraced official position, we believe
that U. S. Grant is the longest-eared.
In recent "speech' to the people of
Galena, he said:
although it is probable that never will
live among you, but in the future he only a
visitor as am at present, yet hope to spend
some days with you every wear and remain
longer than have been able to this time,
and expect to cast my vote here always"
So it appears that Grant has made up
his mind for life-lease of the Presi-
dental chair; at least, this is the natur-
al conclusion from the declaration that
he intends to vote where he never ex-
poets to reside. 1t is quite as ridicul-
GUS as his noted speech at the agicul-
tural fair few months ago.
