Beecher and Plymouth Church.
From the N. Y. Sun.


The silver wedding of Henry Ward
Beecher and Plymouth Church was Gel
ebrated on Friday of last week.
One of the features of the occasion was
a history of the church. It seems that
Rev. DR.. Lyman Beecher was much op
posed to have his son settled in Brook
Ign. He wished him to remain at In
dianapolis, where he was then preaching
for $500 a year. The Plymouth Trus-
tees received letter from him, saying:
SIN Indianapolis, Henry may some day
make his mark, but in he vicinity of
New York he will be entirely lost sight
of, and eclipsed by hundreds OF ADLER
men," However, the Trustees thought
that "Henry" would do, and called
him. The call vas refused for some
time; but the constant sickness of his
family in Indianapolis finally sent Mr..
Beecher east to Plymouth Church and
fame. He ran the gauntlet of thee
logical examination with difficulty. His
unorthodox definition of sin provoked
from lady the wrathful remark: "a
child would give better answer than
that" When the ordeal was at last
triumphantly passed, Mr.. BeecLer be
gan straightway what he has now fin
ished, and what few men have ever
even begun, the making Of a reputa-
ton without parallel in its own line.

81. Martins Summer.

The genial sunshine floods the pale blue sky
The sullen river wakes to CLINT and flash,
The low winds whisper, tossing merrily
The scarlet tassels OF he mountain ash;
The ling ring roses, pale, and faint, and sweet,
Smile, opening to the warmth their fragrant
breasts,
And mid the dead leaves nesting meath the
feet
The violets peep to light from sheltered
nests
Each mighty tree October's sgnet bears,
Cleaning in hues of crimson, gold, and brown
AS some barbaric monarch, dying, wears
His richest robes and dons his brightest
crown.
A soft, sad loneliness, perfume rare,
Seems round the Autumn's parting hours to
cling;
strange enchantment fills the brooding air,
AS through dirge triumphant hope may
ring.
So, in some lives, we watch with reverent love,
After long trials borne, long sorrows past,
A hushed tranquility awakes, to prove
Patience has wrought her perfect work at
last.
But once, to glad the bot worlds restless strife.
Comes childhoods April, youths impassion-
ed June;
The sweet serenity of waning life,
st. Martins summer is its dearest boon.

Abroad.
The steamer Batavia, while en- route from
Blackwell for the River Rhone, collided with
an unknown vessel, and was so seriously in
iured that she soon after sunk. All on board
were saved, except two persons who went
down with the steamer.
THE steamer Mary, of Leith, England, while
off that port ran into the barque Caroline
Marier, from Gottenburg. The latter filled
and sank in few moments after the collision,
and eight of her crew were drowned.
A BERLIN dispatch says that among the
blows at religious liberty by the Bismarckian
Government, is an order forbldding process
sions in several towns of the Rhenish prov

ranked foremost among the favorite customs

sure to excite great indignation.
The American fleet sailed from Lisbon for

The insurgents who escaped from Ferrol fled

The Last Days of the HOmbourg and
Baden Gamblers.

The year 1872 is known to be the
last for the existence of gaming tables
in Belgium and Germany. Spa, HON.
bourg, Wiesbaden. Baden, Ema, Maui
helm, Wildbad and Wildungen must
take long farewell of roulette and
trente-et-quarante not later than the
31st of October, and for some time
past the contractors for the tables have
been asking themselves in what coun
try they will be allowed to continue
their disgraceful trade, when both
Germany and Belgium are closed co
them. France, in spite of the medita-
ton of M. Ernest Feydeau and of the
Figaro, has turned deaf ear to their
prayers, and the depth of their des-
pair (says the Pail Mall Gazette) may
be guessed from the fact that they
have now sent in an application to the
Government of Russia. It is not at
st. Petersburg or Moscow that the dis
comfted milling impresarios propose
to recoup themselves for their coming
losses. Keeping as close to Germany
as possible, they desire to open bank
at little town with an unpronounca-
BILE name on the other side of the Prus-
sian frontier in the kingdom of Po-
land. The name in question is written
Tsiekhotsinek. The place is cele-
brated for it's mud baths, and the Rus
sian Government has already declined
the proposal to make it the seat of a
gaming establishment.

THE TENNESSEE JOINT CANVASS.

The joint canvass in Tennessee, between the
three candidates for Congressman-At-Large
Hon Horace Maynard (Rep. } General Cheatham,
CDem) and ex-Presdent johnson, (Independ-
ent,) has been very exciting and has attracted
national attention. Cheatham was a popular
officer in the rebel army, and enlists the enthu-
siastic support of all the unreconced Recon-
clliationlsts" while Johnson, from the necessitie
OF his record, is obliged to denounce the States
lights doctrines upon which the rebels plunged
the country into war. Maynard is able, by this
canvass, to get the ear Of thousands whom no
Republican speaker would otherwise reach, and
he is doing very effective work. 1t is admitted
that his addresses have had marked influence,
his style being calm, earnest, and void of pas
sion, while from his long and intimate acquain :
tance with the masses of the people he is able to
present his case skilfully and without offence.
Cheatham is no orator, at ALL and reads at
each meeting written address. Were it not for
the sympathy felt for him by the disbanded
rebel soldiers there would be little use Of his at
tempting such canvass.
How the contest will result is very uncertain,
but Republican statements are to the effect that
Maryland has very fair show of election. 1t il
to be hoped this is true as his services in Con.
gress, for fourteen years, have been valuable ia
to the Nation

the clerk called to the engineer, who immedi-

steamer. and began to back her towards the
man who was struggling in the water.
A row boat was lowered, but before it could
reach the suicide he had gone down. dis

army, from which it appeared that the name Of
the suicide was Wilhelm Bollmer.
