Sunday Lecture

City Hall was filled to repletion last evening
| BY an audience eager to hear the popular pulpit
orator, Rev. C. B. Pitblado, discourse upon the
evils of intemperance. Very many young men
were present who, it is to be hoped, will take
the admonitions of the preacher to heart
Inc discourse was one of great power, and
the speaker pictured, in intensely dramatic
language, the crimes and miseries of that vice
which he claimed to be the foremost evil OF All
the world Some of the statistics OF intemper-
ance which he brought to the notice OF MS au-
dience were startling in the extreme. Inc PIC
lures which he drew of the rumseler and the
drunkard. though not exaggerative, were touch
ed with deep and vivid coloring. He claimed
that ;ntemperance has been more productive of
n;serv and evil than war, or pestilence, or mis-
directed ambition and that a new and fierce
crusade against it is the crying need of the
hour. The times demand that something shall
be done to stop its ever increasing power, and
its encroachments upon human happiness.
Though the subject of the lecture was trite
one, it was treated with power and earnest
ness, and freshness, which almost lent it the
charm of novelty. The audience paid the
closest attention throughout the discourse, and
were in full sympathy with the speaker, as was
evidenced by suppressed applause several times
during the delivery of the lecture.

Gen. w. T. Sherman, Washington: The squaw
sent into the Modoc camp returned Yesterday.
The excuse made by the Indians for not keep
ing their appointment is that at the last mo-
ment their hearts failed them and they could
not bring themselves to the point of abandou-
ing their old homes and going to a distant
country. They are not evidently now in dis
position favorable to any arrangement, though
they profess willingness to have another talk.
1t will be some time before the commission can
be assembled, and in the meantime troops will
be put in position that will cover as far as
possible all the points of egress from the lava
beds. think the system of gradual compress
sion with an exhibition of force that can be
used against them, if the commisssiel
should again fail, will satisfy them of the
hopelessness of any further resistance,
and give the. peace party sufficient
strength to control the whole baud. lime is
becoming of the greatest importance, as the
melting of the snow will soon enable them to
live in the mountains. This will greatly in
crease the difficulties we have to con tend with,
as they will then break up in small parties and
can more readily make their escape from their
present location.

all this may be, it cannot be denied that the So
