END OF THE CONGREGATIONAL EMBRoG1Io.
''Burlaigh," the New York correspondent of
the Boston Journal announces the end of the
trouble between the leading Congregational
churches of Brooklyn and New York. 1t was
accomplished as follows:
Early on Monday morning one of the promi-
neut members of Clinton avenue church called
on Mr.. Beecher "Would Mr. Beecher call on
DR.. Storrs at his study? A settlement of this
ugly matter might be Effected "Call," said
Plymouth pastor, ''be sure l will Had the
brethren sought an earlier interview it would
have been granted and been better for all CON
cerned." So Mr.. Beecher took his hat and
started for the study. There he found Mr.
Buddington. A cordial greeting took place as
if nothing to ruffle the three men had ever TAX
en- place.
The conference lasted for over two hours 1t
was agreed that all personal topics should be
lett out-ail questions Of Congregational policy
and usage in dispute shall be the subject of cor
respondence. Upon matters that the pastors
cannot agree upon that are deemed vital, an
agreed statement is to be drawn up and sub
mitted to COUNCIL mutually called. In the
meantime the Conference Committee are to
keep quiet In short, their occupation is gone.

DIR. Do LEWIS, who has so frequently adj
vocated such uncomfortable theories respect
ing exercise and eating, has of late been lee
turing on temperance in Ohio with so great
success that he has created an excitement
which must be very uncomfortable for saloon
keepers and their patrons. In one instance
the women, who seem to be the principal
actors, raided upon saloon keepers, mixing
their drinks in decided but unprofessional
manner with the dirt of the cutters. At
Washington Court House in that State, the
women by DIR. Lewis advice organized prayer
meetings in the church vestry and then ad-
journed to the saloons where the exercises
were continued. This procedure made these
places so uncomfortable to the regular custom
ers who, having no other alternative have be-
gun TO spend their evenings at home where
they have long been strangers, and the dis
couraged keepers have given the ladies per
mission to deposite their stocks of liquors in
the cutters. d.. Lewis will do well to con-
tinue his temperance work.

CONGRESSMAN HARRIS of Virginia, re
Gently partizan of the ''lost cause" in his
speech on the civil rights bill, ignored the
political changes which have occurred the
past decade and SO far forgot himself as to
defy any black man to say that he was equal
to white man. In reply to the challenge d
colored man confronted the Virginian with
the remark; II am that man." With the
offensive swagger of the days of politica
subserviency to the slave owner, Harris re-
piled, "You sit down there, sir, 1 am talking
to white men and gentlemen, not to you"
Judge Hoar brought the naughty conserva-
tive to confusion by raising a point of order
which he explained as follows: when the
gentleman from Virginia ceases to addres.

the purpose OF being fitted up as offices for the

time was consumed In altering the building, which
time would have been vastly redaced but Tor
several changes in the original plans.
Besides this building General Steinmetz Is super

very near being engulpned By the mountainous
waves and the experience OF being caught In one
OF the interminabe iOgs so prevalent on the coast

and the marine nauseatiOn could almost be expe-
rienced while being dllated upon by the gifted
speaker His discourse was highly appreciated by
the scholars, as well as large concourse OF spec
tators, VINO were attracted by the announcement
OF Mr. HepwOrtn's attendance. Mr.. Carlisle re-
turned thanks to Mr.. HepwOrth on behalf OF the
school. Among the guests present were School
