IN
s'SpEAKIN' IN MEErIN. "'-Au episode,
somewhat unusual, is reported to have occurred
at the protracted meeting now in progress at
! the NJ. T.. Church, South, 10 this city, last
night:
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Waugh, who has been
most z~calously engaged 10 the duties OF his
ministry was f%ervently pressing home the great
truths Of the gospel, when al alarm OF IRE was
sounded without. Many Of our most public
| spirited citizens are members Of the coLgrega-
ton, aud the alarm drew numbers from an en-
| deayor to avoid eternal flames to al effort to
| cxtinguish a temporal fire. The hasty exits
naturally attracted much attention, and the
pastor seized the occasion to point q moral by
reference to the zeal with which mon will leave
the promises of eternity at the calls OF time,
and how much moro interest was felt 10 saving
brick and mortar than in saving Immortal souls.
At this point-the alarm being q false one
many had returned, among them Mr.. Robert
l.. Wood, a member of the church, who rose
and said in substance:
"Brother Waugh, you must not speak 30, l
went out not to save brick and mortar, but 1t
might be, to rescue some poor family from de-
struction.'
Rev. Mr.. Waugh said he did not intend to
| give his remarks a personal application, but
rad endrayored to draw from a feeting occur
renee a suitable lesson, as was his duty as pas
tor, and he again proceeded to note how soon
the sanctuary was deserted when the calls of
earth we're heard, whcreupon MIR. Wood rose
again, saying:
You must not talk so, sir, to this cobgrega-
ton" :,
Rev. Nr. Waush-Sit down Brother Wood !
Mr.. Wood--No, sir, | have a right to speak.
Rev. Mr.. Waugh-"Sit down. but MIR.
Wood not needing the command, it was repeat
ed five times, Mr.. Wood remaining IN a stand
ing position, aud the excitement becoming SO
great among the entire congregation mat the
services had TO be abruptly closed without the
usual ceremonies.

The Ottuinwa Courier says Mrs

The Ottuinwa Courier says Mrs.
Woodruff in her recent lecture there.
In the most indecent aud blasphe-
nous language, arraigntd the Chris
tian people of the United States Ms all
being set of hypocrites and liars,
aud said they were responsible for nil
the want and suffering in the land.
The public charged her with being n
prostitute, but the public we're liars |;
said she ''abhorred marriage, aye,
cursed marriage" rs one Of the vilest
institutions extant. The forty thou
sand priests and parsons in this coun-
try advocated the marriage insiitu-
ton and kept 1t up as matter OF
gain for themselves.
The Ottumwa Democrat, OF course,
praises her and her effort. II says:
"The mysterious woman glided on
the stage with The air of Il tragedy
queen. Her first appearance did not
attract sympathy, but invited ctiti-
cisni. She WAS all sarcasm; fierce ais
tiger in her hate, aud her play fui
advances bore in then, the wonderful
Resemblance OF lion playing with
its prey. Her hair fell low down
over her forehead, and the eyes
which pprred out from beneath were
lit UP with a strange gieam of fero-
cious splendor. This, however, WAS
only the overture Ia the Divine play
which she afterward rendered. As
she warmed up on the subject, the
hair WAS thrown back over the ma
jestic brow; her eyes sparkled with
the inner c0nsciencinu, ness Of gent
us, and NJ her slight, graceful form
lowered, the lips moved with the
speed of race horse and the sarcas-
tic Victoria became transformed into
the inspired priestess Of new re-
ligion.
Ii was success. The woman came
into the hall the object Of sla,idrr;
the accursed ~ the ministry, the
slandered object ofa Subsidized press;
she came among her audience With
scarcely ten synipa.l,izers, and ut the
close of her speech she WAS the hero
inc. the iao! OF her woishipers. Vic
igria came VicsorIg conquered
