ably larger attendance than the day be.
fore, and more interest taken in the re.
suit, at times the excitement ran very
high, consequently good deal of loud
talking between the partisans of the diff
ferent horses, but thanks to their own
good sense and the police, did not amount
to any thing more.

The following despatch has been received
from our correspondent at the capital Of
Germany
BERLIN. August IL, 1871.
Prince Bismarck returned to-day to Berlin
from Varzin. He goes to Gastein to be
present at the meeting of the Emperors
William and Francis Joseph.
The official Cross Gazette says that the En-
peror Of Germany will remain three weeks at

Bismarck will assist at the conference of the
two monarchs. 1851

lished which cannot but promote the welfare
Of the two empires.

The good understanding between the two
Courts is of very recent date. 1t COM

Beust with regard to Germany at late meet

timated desire that closer relations may be
established between Austria and Germany
by meeting between the Emperors William

gladly embrace ed by Count Beust. An impe-
rial conference was then arranged to take
place at Gastein.

A Reccher In Trouble.

A Beecher in trouble Is an event that sur
prises no one provided the trouble in some
way pertains to ecclesiastical affairs. All of
the family have had their Church difficulties
The latest event in which zone of the Beechers"
figured was the case of the Rev. DR.. Edward
Beecher, who has been asked by part of his
congregation at Galesburg, ILL.,, to resign his
very promptly and properly acceded to,
though to the sorrow and disappointment of
many of his people.
The case Is not very remarkable one,
except that 1t shows there are some people who
are not even satisfied with Beecher miuisteriug
to them in holy things. Such persons must
be very hard to please. Whom they could
prefer or what manner Of q preacher they
would desire 1t is no easy matter to deter
mine. Indeed, we think that Congrega-
tional church which can dispense with the
pastoral services Of even the Smallest Of the
Beechefs; after having once obtained them,
would find fault with the preaching and GER
tainly With the doctrines of ST. Paul. Nothing
can satisfy some people except new sensa-
ton or new preacher every Sunday.
The ability of o small faction in Church
like that which compelled DR.. Bsecher to
retire from his charge to work successfully
against the desires of whole congregation
is, independently Of mere Beecherian con-
siderations, much to be deplored. 1t is GER
tainly pleasant sight, and one which be-
tokens much Christian earnestness to see an
aged pastor laboring among a people who
have loved and honored him for half a
century. The frequent change of ministers
in Protestant Churches indicates want Of
the true Christian spirit. The factious hos
tility Of a few Galesburg people to DR..
Beecher is only sample of what is going on
all over the country every day. It is sin
against which few men have the courage to
preach, and yet it is one of the crying evils Of
the day. We hope this case will serve to call
to ii the attention of Christian people in every
part Of the country.
