Q. \. Phelps, lecturer of the Inger-
soil school, abused God and the English
language, at the opera house in this
city, two or three nights of this week.
His discourses were rambling essays
and contradictory statements. The
title of his first lecture was ''thc mis-
takes of God." 1t is quite apparent
that the lecturer knew of one mistake
that God had made. but he did not re-
fer to it. The public estimation is
that Phelps is mistake.

the subject is the fact that the book
sought to be introduced contains few
chapters on the deleterious effects Of
alcohol and tobacco on the human sys-

dispassionate physiological standpoint.
The ladies Of the Union presented an
excellent address on the subject to the

have been brought forward.
There are two or three county attOr-
ney bills before the legislature. One
before the council provides for the inn
mediate abolition of the Office Of district
attorney and the substitution Of that Of
county attorney. The others would
not affect the present district attorneys
and differ only as to the compensation
Of the county attorneys-one bill pro-
viding fixed salary to be paid, while
the other would pay a salary Of 5000
and permit the sequestration Of fees to
the amount of $1,000 more. One or an
other of these bills will become a law
as the district attorney system has prov

The Weather in Oregon.

During the past six weeks heavy
storms have prevailed throughout East
ern Oregon and Washington territory.
The loss of live stock is reported very
heavy. Cattle and horses perished by
thousands from exposure and want Of
food. The loss of sheep and hogs, how
ever, is reported much greater. Sadder
than this loss of property is the fact
that many persons. perished from the
cold and storms. Bodies are being con-
stantly found as the snow disappears
and many are yet missing.

On January 10Th Gen. Stewart, one Of
the subordinate officers of Gen. Wolseley' s
expedition to the Upper Nile region in
Africa, expectedly encountered Ell Mahdi's
forces at the Abu Klea wells in the desert
west of Shendy and north of Khartoum
where Gordon is. The British force was
about 500 men and that of the Arabs
5000 to 10000. The British force march
ed upon the Arabs in solid square. The
fight was fierce one and came very near
resulting disastrously for the British but
fortune finally told in their favor and
the Mahdi's forces were repulsed with
heavy loss and the Abu Klea wells taken
possession of. The British loss was 100
killed and wounded several of whom
were officers. Among the killed was Col.
Burnaby the hero of several famous Asiat-
ic campaigns and the writer of several
fascinating books compiled from his own
experiences. The Arab loss was at least
500 slain beside many wounded. The
British force after the battle pushed on
