THE END CLOSE AT HAND.

THE SEARCH FOR MR.. M0UITON ABANDONED-DR'
sToRRs NOT TO BE ExAMINED-THE REPORT
PROMISED FOR FRIDAY.
The Iabors of the Investigating Committee are
drawing near close, as viii be seen by the follow
ing card which was yesterday published by the
Chairman:
BROOKLYN, Aug. 3, 1874
The Plymouth Church Investigating Committee earn
esy request that al persons who have been invited to
testify before them the matter now under examina-
on appear before them tomorrow CTuesday) evening,
at O'clock as that will probably be the last meeting OF
the Committee for the reception OF testimony.
II. W. SAGE.
A gentleman who is authorized to speak for the
Committee the counsel for Mr.. Beecher, SAID
last evening that this action OF the Com
mittee could not be looked upon as hasty or Ill
advised. The Committee had pushed on It's work
with all the energy 1t could properly employ al
though the newspapers had been continually com
planning of delay and the Committee from the start
had intended to finish its work az speedily as was
consistent with thoroughness of investigation The
members had been waiting anxousy for Mr.. Moul-
toms testimony and were still very desrous to have
il presented but all their efforts to find him had
been in vain No member of the Committee and no
one connected with the Committee, he said, knows
where Mr. Moulton is. Their efforts to reach him
had only resulted in their learning that he took
train at Boston on the Eastern Railway
last Wednesday, the Goth inst, and they would
be very much obliged to any one VINO would
tell them where he now is. The Committee had
about given up the expectation OF his appearance
before them, and would probably be obliged to
close the case without him. Only a few witnesses,
whose testimony would be of comparatively little
importance, remained to be examined, with the ex-
cepton of Mr.. Beecher. Mr.. Carpenter, and Mr..
Moulton, if he returns. The Rev. DIR. Stors had
returned an answer TO the Committees summons,
saving that he could not appear before the Com
mittee, but would be willing TO answer questions
which might be sent to him iD writing. MIR.
Beecher's counsel said that the Committee had
feared that the summons to DR.. StOrrs might reach
him at a very inconvenient time tor him, but they
had no choice. They desired to have his testimony,
but thought it would hardly be possible to exam
ine him by letter, it would take too much time.
Counsel for Mr.. Beecher stated that Mr.. Beecher
would probably be examined by the Committee on
Wednesday evening, or if there were not other wit
nesses to take up the time his examination, IN part,
at least might take place Tuesday evening. He
thought it not unlikely that the Committees report
would be ready in time for the Friday evening meet
ing of Plymouth Church on the 9TH inst. and would
be presented at that meeting. The meeting tins
week is the adjourned monthly session OF the
church.

what water Is.

On one occasion one Paul Denton, a
Methodist preacher in Texas, advertised
barbecue, with better liquor than is
usually furnished. When the people
assembled, desperate in the crowd
cried out: "Mr. Paul Denton. your rev.
erence has lied. Yeu promised not only
a good barbecue, but better liquor.
Where's the liquorY
Therel" answered the missionary, in
tones of thunder, and pointing his long,
bony finger at the matchless double
spring, gushing up in two strong col
umns from the bosom of the earth.
There" he repeated, with look as ter
rible as lightning, while his enemy actu-
ally trembled at his feet; There is the
liquor which God, the Eternal, brews for
all his children. Not in the simmering
still, over smoky fires choked with pois-
onous gases and surrounded with the
stencil of sickening odors and corrup-
ton, doth your Father in heaven pre-
pare the precious essence of life, pure
cold water; but in the glade and grassy
dell, where the red deer wsnders and the
child loves to play, there God brews IT,;
and down, way down in the deepest
valleys, where the fountain murmurs
and the rills sing; and high upon the
mountain tops where the naked granite
glitters like gold in the sun, where
storm clouds brood and the thunder
storms crash; and out, out in the wide,
wide sea, where the hurricane howls
music and the big waves roar their
chorus, sweeping the march of Cod
there he brews it-beverage Of life,
health giving water. And everywhere
it is thing of beauty, cleaning IN the
dew-drop, singing in the summer rain,
shining in the ice gem, till they seem
turned to living jewels spreading a
golden veil over the setting sun, or a
white game around the midnight moon;
sporting in the cataract; sleeping in the
glacier; dancing in the hail shower

A Fashionable Marriage in Trlpeli
Nine Days i'm State After ihe
Ceremony.
From DR.. Jessup's Syrian Home Life.l
We called yesterday on the daughter
of Mohammedan living in this city
(Tripoli.)
Though the girl had been married sew
eral days she had never been seen by
her husband. He only had gone to the
mosque when the ceremony was per-
formed, she taking no part in it. After
the ceremony the bride usually stays at
her fathers house nine days, during
which time she sits in state, decked in
her finest dress and jewels, receiving
calls from her friends. Then her joy is
at an end. She must go to her husband,
take off her fine clothes, and become
perfect slave, subject to the will of her
master. The parents of this bride were
very poor. Her mother was dressed in
little better than rags, and was at the
tangua washing clothes. All the women
of the BRIDES company had their hair
plated full of gold coins; these were
heirlooms, and so greatly treasured that
a woman would almost starve sooner
than part with one. The present given
by the family to the bride was an elegant
pale blue brocade silk dress and black
silk embroidered with gold. The for
mer cost $3.50. The bridegroom's pre-
sents were sumptuous lilac silk, heavily
embroidered with gold; earrings Of
pearls and gold, bracelets as wide as
finger During the call she wore the
bridegroom presents. The other dresses
were hung spread out on the wall.
We stopped at a house below, accord
ing to custom, and sent word we were
coming The bride returned answer she
would be most happy to salute us. After
waiting about twenty minutes we went
upstairs, for she lived on the second
floor. She had not quite finished her
toilet, and sat on the floor before large
mirror, surrounded by her fnery. As
we entered she arose and saluted us, and
then returned composedly to her dress.
ing Of all the strange and ghastly
sights, her face was the most wonderful,
as may we'll be imagined from the way
which it was prepared.
First, hot wax was spread over the
whole face, which, when cool, was peeled
off. This was done to remove the hair
from the face. Then whiting was rubbed
on till the skin looked like marble. Her
eyebrows were painted JET black, her
lips and large spot on each cheek
painted brilliant red. On these red
spots, on her forehead and at the cor.
ners of her mouth gilt flowers were
pasted. Then over the whole face pow
dered sugar had been snapped, which
made il sparkle as with diamond
dust" She wore pearl earrings, and
around her neck were a string of large
amber beads three strings of roped
pearls and curious necklace, which we
were privately told was borrowed for the
occasion. 1t was made of gold five.
pound pieces, overlapping each other
like scales. The usual head dress was
covered with real and artificial flowers
The finishing touch was put Oh in the
shape of piece of black wax, heated
over the canoon till very hot, made
round, and fiat, and then stuck between
the eyes.

frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy.
particularly those suffering from the effects Of
debilitating diseases. In order to keep ma
tural hea.thful activity Of the system, We
must resort to artificial means. For this pur-
pose Shenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effec-
tual. A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For
dyspepsia. 1t is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally differ
ent from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; in fact 1t assists the regular
operations of nature, and supplies her def
ciences. The tonic in its nature so much re-
sembles the gastric juice that it is almost iden-
tical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the
natural solvent which, in healthy condition
of the body, causes the food to be digested;
and when this juics is not excreted in suth-
cient quantities, Indigestion, with all its dis
tressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty Of the gastric juice
when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic sold by all druggists.
