INGERSOLL'S LECTURE. Col. R. O. Ingersoll had an audienoe Tuesday evening that completely filled the Opera House. His theme, as announced, was "The Religion of the Past, Present and Future." Those who missed the lecture are to be commiserated. It was the best show of the season No end of burnt cork professionals will atone for it, for the Colonel is beyond comparison the comedian of the country, Hii lecture was prefaced by a neat and well spoken introductory address by Mr. Eugene V. Debs, on behalf of the Occidental Literary Club, under whose auspices he came.

Cul. Ingersoll has an air of being terribly iu earnest—a physique which contributes so much to the indefinable quality which it is fasbionale to call personal magnetism—(no weakly man ever had it)—a free play of humor, not too subtle or refiner! for popular appreciation, and a forcible, bold diction—wordpainting in free sweeping strokes rather than delicate touches and fine shadings. Of his religious or irreligious utterances, we let them rest with bis bearers for what they are worth. His ldeture cannot be reported without giving it entire. No synopsis would do him justise. It is not in the matter, but the manner, of which Mr. Ingersoll is original. Like others who have preceded him, be kicks away the faulty and perhaps unsafe and decaying platform upon which' poor humanity is huddled, and precipitates us into a fathomless abyss beneath. It is pretty easy work at this business. No edifice was ever reared that an accomplished architect could not demonstrate to be unsuitable for its purposes. The work of experts and the labor of the best artisans can be destroyed by a body of louts who could not fashion one of its pilasters. Nevertheless, it is hardly wise to destroy even the shabbiest shelter until something more substantial is reared to take its place.

The world has struggled bard heretofore over the questions that distract the Rev. Bob." Incoherences have been discovered, laughed at, despised. But, alter all, what better system or belief have we obtained than the old faith, which, with all its faults, its absurdities, and even abominations, still brings peace and tranquility to many and flattering hope to all. Even Mr. Ingersoll. himself, after a vain and wearisome effort to fathom the unfathomable, after digging away at the sophistries of Christianity, and battering the walls of the church, may find at last that he is only half a magician, evoking speotres that he has no power to quell, and so settle at last, if not into the devout believer, at least into the charitable, tolerant and hopeful philosopher, who, knowing nothing, believes in the possibility of everything.

CHURCH NOTES.

Rev. Spottswuod, D. D., of Pennsyl vanla, will preach at Centenary Church to-morrow morning at 10:30.

THB good people of the Baptist church cannot bear the thought of giving up Rev. Mr. Henderson, and so called oouncll composed of leading mon of the denomination in various parts of the country. That council was in session here Wednesday evening, Thursday and Thursday evening, and the result of its deliberations is that there is nothing to bar Mr. Henderson's enjoying the continued fellowship of that oburch as a pastor. The report, whioh is quite lengthy, will be read to the church tomorrow morning, for action, and the probabilities are that Mr. Henderson will return hero as pastor of the. Baptist chnrob.

PICNIC NOTES.

The pionic season is at hand. Here are some notes of advice. Put on your best clothes and Sunday hat.

Wear all your jewelry and your finest shoes. Don't take any spoons. Everybody does that, you know.

If there are ten in your set, carry four knives and three cups. White goods are the best to wear at a picnic, being the most popular.

It is not necessary to carry vinegar,' pepper, or butter. They can be borrowed from other parties.

Be sure to take plenty of cake and pastiy. People at picnics rarely have any appetite, and thus need something of a tempting nature.

In packing a basket it is the best to put the custard pie and rice pudding at the bottom with the package of salt next. It matters not so much about the location of the other articles.

As soon as you reach t'io grounds, pick eut a desirable companion and stroll off by yourselves. Some one will set the tables and do the necessary lugging. There is a providence which looks alter this especially.

On Hand!
