An Eloqusn. Address.

The Rev. Calvin Ogburn, pastor of the Christian Church in Phenix, preached a very able and interesting discourse in the NJ. E. Church, South, to a packed house last even ing.
 Good Templars' badges were very much in evidence, and several of the visitors occupied seats in the choir.
 Mir. Ogburn's text was the words Of King David when asking about Absalom, "Is the young man Absa- lom safe3" He applied the question to the young men of our time and country, and spoke of their environ ment aud the evil influences thrown around the young man without a home.
 He deplored the tendency in our country toward becoming a home less nation. With the saloon ou every hand inviting him to enter, and the scarlet woman turing him to ruin, there is no safety for the young man Of Arizona, and more especially fl he is without home. He censured the modern city church for it's lack of interest in the young men and it's tendency to become a fashionable club, instead of the in- strument of God to save men and women.
 The address was listened to with marked attention by the large audi ence.

A Water Proposition

EDIToR JoURNAL-MINER.-The city fathers might buy the Lindsay es- tate, and get the water right, sell the lots, build a dam that would cost less than $l,000, pipe the water to the present well sufficient for the present inhabitants. Most of the water f pr sert comes from that source. Never build dam that will not overflow.
 Another never failing supply can be had in Miller valley at a much less cost than the Aspen or Banning creek propositions, and no former rights to purchase and no danger Of breaking dams. For twenty years out of the thirty-four of my resi- depce m Prescott, neither summer rains or melted snows could furnish sufficient water in A pen creek to water a ten-mule team seven days m succession.
 Another plan-cut Granite creek opposite the Id Reliable depot, put in a cement dam from the bed rock up, not over two feet above the present surface of the creek, put in a good filter, and you will lave enough water for ten thousand people, but not enough to flush sewers.
 Let the engineer investigate this proposition instead of looking after a melting snow reservoir.

They were finally surrounded by mob of a hundred and after many shots were ex- changed without effect, were cap- tured.
