Professor cummings leetare.

/, Professor Cunning incidentally made
several very good strokes in the ,lunor
line in his lecture Monday even ing, in
describing the resemblsnces between
the man-ilke brure and brute~like man.
Speaking of the great Tapping ears of
some African tribes aud other tribes Of
aborigines, he said these unclad humans
began to have the ihstinct OF acquisi-
tion, and having few wants and no
pockets to hold their possessions, they
followed the example of the little crab
that secrets pebble in It's ear; they
pierced the lobe and rim OF the ears un-
til these would no more trinkets hold,
then suspended them from the lips and
nose and wrinkles In the flesh. The
Professor represented it all on the
blackboard as he proceeded, adding
that "we of a more adv lnced civilizs-
tion had got beyond all this. of course !;
that is we men-the ladies, see, they,
they, many of them, still put their
riches in their ears" And then these
same husbands aud brothers and lovers
who buy and present and admire and
thus keep alive the heathenish fashion,
they laughed as though the joke went
clear over their own and fell only on
innocent heads. The Professor said he
visited once, a school where monkeys
were taught. And there the solid SEN
ible aud level-headed monkeys were all
up in the front seats-just as my aud
fence are here-those anxious to learn
crowdlng up where they can catch
every word. And before those farther
back had gone far with their laughing,
he added "while the monkeys In the
rear only wanted to eat peanuts and
were full Of laughter and chatter"
Whatever Professor Cunning teaches,
or opinions he holds he does not offen-
sively allnde to the opinions or cherish
ed ideas of others, but in u fair gentle
manly and scholarly manner makes his
own points as conclusive and clear as
hts time will permit. His lectures
have been profitable and entertaing.

One Of the things incidentally taught
our Wellington people by our very excel
lent course oflectures, is the necessity for
new Town Hall to accommodate such as
semblages and entertainments. Many be
lieved all along and many more have re-
Gently been converted to the belief that q
church is not the place for such gatherings.
Experience shows that q lecture or con-
cert draws many Of q different class from
the ordinary church goer: men who are

ton, and have not the habits and instincts Of
gentlemen, and cannot, therefore. be trusted

The inexcusable' soiling and dsubing with
filth which the beautiful audience room of

the occasions Of its being occupied for
commencement exercises and for lectures
and concerts, would put 10 shame the In
stincts of hog and would go long way
toward recodciling one to seeing them

carpet to be ground in by their heels,mak-
ing clean, sweet, decent looking church

A LETTER from an oherlin cor-e.r..,


A LETTER from an oberlin correspond.
ent to the Cleveland Herald saws: at is
now an established fact that Bronsor. was
not the actual proprietor of the drug store
which was destroyed by the late fire. In
order to get his insurance, which had no,
been transferred, Rowland was obliged to
acknowledge that no sale was ever ef
feeted.n This is exactly what the oberlin
people have claimed, and that it was only
a dishonest effort to get out of an arrange
ment he himself suggested and entered
into This puts somewhat differentrace
on the matter, and when it is remembered
that Rowland has for years kept a saloon
under the guise Of q drug store, the sym
pathy which has been given him or Bron-
son may be Transferred to the other party

OCEAN STEAMERS. - Some time dur
ing last winter, or early spring, gcntle-
man recognized as leading official of
tie p. G. $. S. Co., paid this section of
the Sound brief visit, for the purpose,
We were atterward informed, OF ascertain
inc comparative distance, safeness of har.
Dor, depth of water, and other minor
details in one way or another pertaining
to this point as IA practicable shipping
depot for grain raised in this section.
After returning to headquarters at Sau
Francisco, he made so favorable report
that 1t has been decided, beyond a doubt,
TO run the steamers to this place regularly
as, soon as the necessary warehouse and
wharf can be built. The advantage to
be derived by this connection with the
outside world can be seen at a glance.
The doubling up of distances. serious
drawbacks and other disadvantages, of
shipping everything up Sound, only to be
transferred and handled over again at
more or less expense, as heretofore
practiced, can, in measure, be improved
upon when this is made an outlet for
Whatcom county.

New STEAMBOAT COMPANY. - The
Washington Steamboat and Transports
ton Company, with a capital stock OF
100000, was Incorporated at Utsalady on
the Goth ult. The company is composed
of number of the solid men of Port
Gamble and Utsalady, whose Object it is
to own and operate a line of steamers on
Puget Sound and the rivers empting into
it. President, d. B. Jackson; Secretary,
G. IS. Jacobs; Business manager, FL. j.
Olney. The company already ows the
steamers Daisy, Susie and City of Quincy,
the latter steamer having been purchased
in Portland short time ago. As soon as
possible she will be brought around to
Port Gamble, where size will be over
hauled and placed upon the Skaget route,
to connect at Utsalady with the o. r. 6,
n. Co.'S steamer Welcome. 1t is rumored
that the company have in view the pur-
chase of steamer somewhat larger than
the Nellie, which will be placed on the
Snohomish- Seattle route.-Eyc.

AN EXCITING CHASE. Mr.. Compton
and family, accompanied by Mr.. Bark
housen, while on their way to Laconner,
on Tuesday, had novel and rather ex-
citing adventure. While passing Miller's
place, on Steamboat slough, the party
suddenly noticed large buck deer spring
into the water and make for the opposite
bank. Chase was Immediately given, and
tho deer soon captured; not, how:ver,
without considerable trouble. Uniortun>
ately The party were without firearms, and
1T was necessary to cut the deer's throat.
But even in this condition the animal
succeeded for u while in escaping from its
pursuers, but was soon retaken, AMI
carried to Laconner.

LIME KILN.-Scurr Bros. 81 Ross, who
have lately started large kiln at Roche
Harbor, on the northwest end of San
Juan island, are burning at present about
so barrels every twelve hours. Last week
they shipped by the Idahe 200 barrels to
Seattle and 800 barrels TO Portland. They
propose, we understand, to enlarge their
capacity in the fall, as soon as the wet
weather commences. At present they
have employed, including woodchoppers,
about twelve men. They have also "a very
complete store at that point, and propose
soon to erect substantial wharf extends
ing to deep water, aud to make other ne
cessary improvements, as an inducement
for steamers to make regular trips to that
place.

RAISING FROM IT'S AsHEs.-It seems
that the steamer Yaquina, which was
burned at Portland several weeks ago,
was not so seriously damaged as at first
supposed. There is now force of men
at work clearing away the burned timber
and she will soon be ready tor the car
penters to commence putting on the
decks and cabins. Her freight and pas
senger capacity will be greatly increased,
and when again ready for sea will be a
much more commodious vessel than be-
fore she was burned. Mr.. Hatch gives
assurance that he will have her ready to
resume her regular route between Port
land and Puget Sound on or about the
first OF August.

GRAND LODGE A. q. U. W.-The Ter
ritorial Grand Lodge of United Workmen
will convene at Olympia on Wednesday,
and will be in session several days. The
Transcript says there will be 100 delegates
or more, besides prominent visitors from
Oregon, British Columbia and east of the
Cascades. The Olympia members desire
to entertain them in true oriental style,
but the scarcity of accommodations taxes
them to the utmost. All the spare rooms
at the hotels are already engaged, and pri-
vate parties are now called upon to help
accommodate the crowd that is coming.

CHARTERED.-Says the Pierce County
News: The charter of the tug Tacoma to
carry the mails between Puget Sound
and Alaska appears to have settled the
vexed question about which the Portland
Board of Trade gave itself a great deal of
unnecessary uneaslness. The Tacoma is
staunch boat, swift and entirely sea-
worthy. She has accommodations for 40
passengers, and Was to have left for Stka
