ELOQUENT ORAToRY"-The Rev. j.
B. Hawthorne, ID. d., Of Richmond, Va,
delivered his lecture on Eloquent Oratory"
to refined and apprcciative audience at
Military Hall last evening. under the au-
spices Of the Young Mems Christian Asso.
citation.
The subject was treated with q masterly
band, and the lecture was illuminated
throughout by refined scholarship and true
eloqueucc. 1t was instructive and ,nter-
tanning, humorous and pathetic, plain,
aud yet bristling with strong logic, and
finished with the adornmeuts of classical
rhetoric
The lecturer replied to the recent snecrs
at oratory, and showed, by the examples of
such men as Dcmosthenes, Chatham, Mira
beau, Henry and others what eloqnence has
done in shaping the destinies of men and
nations. He gave the n,mes of Chrysost-
ON, Spurgeon, Richard Fuller and other
eminent divines as examples of the power
of pulpit oratory to sway the passions and
affect the hearts of men. He claimed that
no age of the world was so favorable to or
atory as the present, with the moment ous
questions now pressing themselves upon the
public attention. He maintained that Rca-
son, ImaS Sination, Conviction and Action are
the four great clements of eloquent oratory.
Calhoun, Everett, Webster, Prcntiss and
Clay possessed some of these elements in a
high degre,, but were deficient in others
Calhoun possessed the eloqucnce of reason
and logic-"hc was granite column with
out a wreath around it." Everett had the
eloquence Of beauty and taste Daniel Web
ster the eloquenee of reason and imagina-
tion--"he possessed the magnifcense of a
winters night when all the stars are out"
Henry Clay had the eloquence of passion
his very look was majesty" and w. l..
Yancey possessed the fire and grandeur of
Demosthenes -"the time to build his monu.
mcnt has not come, but it will come" The
men in whom the four great elements Of
eratorcal powers were combined were Do
monsthencs, Cicero, Mirabcau and w. L.
Yancey.
The lecturer, while admitting the advan
tage of crises and occasion to the orator
claimed that the genius Of real eloquenct
could not be held down BY such fetters.-
He concluded with the proposition that tn
best orator is he who to all other needet
gifts and graces adds the blessed quality o
virtue. Bad men may be eloquent. "Bol
ingbroke was eloqucrt; Ingersoll, the des
perado of modern inidclity, is eloquent
Beecher is eloquent the devil is clo-
qucnt !" but virtue is tho basis of all trl
eloqucncc.
The gifted speaker illustrated his lectur
by several telling anecdotes, and carried hi
audience completely with him. DR.. Haw-
thorne has commanding presence aud
remarkably fine physique, His voice is ricl
and musical,his enunciation is very clear ant
distinct, his gestures arc graceful, and hi
whole bearing is manly and impressive

In going from Vancouver to Battle Ground
at this season of the year the first question
that would be likely to rise in the mind of
stranger is, ''Why is it that so much choice
land yet remans unoccupied?" But let him
make the journey in the winter aud he will
have no difficulty in comprehending the
reason. In considering the small expense of
making good road compared with the rich
returns that such an enterprise would bring
about in the rapid development of large
and fertile section. he might charge the
leading citizens of this part of the county
with lack of forethought and public spirit;
but in the face of such adverse circumstan-
ces the comparative few inhabitants would
occasion no surprise. The distance from
Vancouver to Battle Ground is about Is
miles. About IL miles of this is covered
with dense growth of green timber,
through which the roads are almost impass.
able the larger portion of the year. This
road is quite level, but the work necessary
to make it suitable for travel at all times is
too great an undertaking for the number of
settlers along the route. and unless some
other means are provided the development
of that part of our county must necessarily
be slow. Despairing of such aid the people
of Battle Ground and vicinity are looking
for an outlet in another direction. The dis
lance from there to Stoughton, the highest
steamboat landing on Lewis river is but
little more than six miles, and to La Center
it is about two miles further. A road is be-
ing opened direct from Battle Ground to
these landings, and am informed by good
authority that it will be finished at an early
day. The greater part of this road will be
level and gravelly, and when we consider
the comparative short distance, the wisdom
of the enterprise becomes strikingly SPpar-
ent. No person can travel over the inte-
rior and settled portions Of Clarke county
without being impressed with the fact that
the great want Of the present is good roads.
Mr.. Cary. who owns fine farm near the
Battle Ground, informed me that he had
raised ten tons of ruta-bagas on less than
half an acre; carrots weighing from 4 to 10
pounds, and cabbages weighing upwards of
40 pounds. He says that tons of hay to
the acre is not more than an average crop in
that section. and that the reason that the
acreage is not rapidly increased is owing to
the fact that they are almost wholly isolated
from market. He discusses with consider
able enthusiasm the advantages of the Lewis
river outlst, and predicts that tho produce

FATAL AFFRAY.-On July 4th, towards
evening, there occurred shooting scrape in
Portland, with bad results. Jack Powers,
who is well known here from his connection
with the tie contracts in Clarke county for a
year past, quarreled with Ben Cornelius,
his fsthe,-iu-law, and they finally com.
menced shooting at each ether, both falling.
Cornelius died at the Esmond Tuesday noon.
Powers is badly wounded. and in a critical
condition. The difficulty arose concerning
family matters. The streets were densely
crowded during the ARRAY, and though some
ten shots in all were fired, only one other
person was struck, he being wounded
slightly in the knee.

GEN. McLAREN has scored a pretty
good point. A good many hungry chaps
have been standing about waiting to &C.
cupy the vacancy in the United States
marshalship when it should occur. 1t
happened that Gen. McLaren's term ex-
pired November 80, but the hungry
chaps did not seem to hit upon the date
and consequently President Arthur did
not appoint successor. The law pro-
vides that in such an event the
marshal shall be appointed by the
Judge of the circuit and Judge
Miller has accordingly named
Gen. McLaren to be his own successor.
This appointment is almost of the nature
Of the o. S. Judgeships, holding during
good behavior or until the incumbent is
arbitrarily removed by the President.
The General is accordingly likely to re-
main in his snug quarters for good while
to eome-in fact he will probably stick
until Democratic President is inaugur-
ated on the 4th of March 1885. As he
makes IN efficient officer the only tears
TO be shed will be by the fellows who are
scooped.

To the Editor of the Globe.
There appears to be little confusion
in some minds on the subject of the
"Seventh Street Improvement" and lest
the general public (who will have to bear
part of the expense) should also get con-
fused, few remarks are not, perhaps.
out of place, by your consent.
The Seventh street improvement is one
thing, the Seventh street (so-called)
compromise grade" another enc, and
not only are they different, but the adop-
ton OF the latter is fraught with great
peril to the former.
It is true that there seems TO be sort
of unanimlty in favor of the proposed
grade, and an exceeding eagerness for its
adoption, but these feelings on the pari
of most of its supporters are scarcely
backed up by knowledge of the facts,
and more nearly resemble the craze of
voting bonds for railroad purposes in
some rural township, than they do the
Judgment of practical business men.
The grade mot the improvement is OBJ
jected to by certain property holders
deeply interested, for very grave consid-
erations. These considerations were pre-
sented in the form of remonstrance to
the city council, and subsequently read
by the city attorney to the committee on
streets. which body has now the Question
in its hands for elaboration and report
No one doubts the desirabllity of q
permanent roadway, with easy grades,
across the valleys of Trout and Phalen's
creek, and on the divide at Hope street.;
