TO THE EDITOR OP THE HERALD:-
No one interested in the dramatic art can fall to
be struck with the HERALD's report OF Dr. Tai
mage's sermon In the Brooklyn Tabernacle on SUM-
day last. To denounco man because he does not
see as we see is to be narrow minded and unchris-
tian, so let us avoid bad example and suppose
that DR.. Talmage is an earnest man seeking to
give the best instruction and guidance TO his 1ock.
His arguments, or rather his statements (for
they are put as received facts) against the
theatre will, at least, bear criticism, and
most Of them contradiction. A clergyman

MRS. CoNwAY's BROOKLYN THEATRE.

Mr.. q. L. Davenport competed his engagement
for the week at this theatre on Saturday night in
the presentation Of Orchard III.n The treachery,
cunning, cruelty ana malignant daring OF the
''crooked-bacged tyrant" obtained an impersona-
histrionic reputation OF the great tragedian. In
the famous battle scene Mr.. Davenport seemed to
have lost mono OF the fire. energy and force
of former days. The audience, which was
very large, appauded heartily, and throughout
the piece showed an intelligent appreciation OF
the more effective points OF the drama. The cast
included Mr.. Kennedy as Richmond, Mr.. HastinQs
as buckingham, Mrs Farren as Queen Eliza-
beth and Miss Waite as Lady Anne. At the fall OF
the curtain Mr.. Davenport, In response to fre-
quent calls, appeared on the stage, and, in the
course OF iew farewell remarks. stated that he
had been invited by Mrs. Conway to appear az ain

IT" ON TALMAeE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In the HERALD's report OF Sunday sermons the
Rev. Talmage figures as the ungracious pastor who
''recks not his own reden He Is the last OF long
line who have periodically stopped from their nigh
calling and leaned sanctimonlously over the pulpit
to pour abuse on theatres His harangue has
but one merritt Is quite in the fashion; but the
commonest intelligence cannot escape she con-
victon that his words are untrutnful and the oc-
casion for uttering them most inopportune. THIS
ls bad season for churches. They have lately
suffered more lapses than the theatres can por-
tray. Tney have built high and tumbled low. They
have haA fall and are wandering toward q
winter OF ofdiscontent. Just now, therefore, all the
ministers are needed at nome. They have them
selves broken through church discipline and bat
tered at church walls until the hour has come
when they must rebuild, not forgetting also that
the corner stone Is charity which they cannot re-
move or the whole edifce will fall In ruin.
At such q moment it does not become Mr.. Tai
mage to neglect his duty, nor to escape 1t by
climbing heavenward on his church steeple, nor
to survey from thence all the world as beneath
HIM, for others OF his class engaged IN his same
endeavor have fallen from as high position. Be.
sides, It Is no time to grasp at thunderbots, nor
ID the place secure from whence to hurl them. He
who for others thus invites the lightning ia most
likely to be srrucK himself. Men are not angels
nor are ministers SO immortal that they can so
dlsda1n their duty to fallen humanity. Therefore
we pray you, Brother Tsmage,, think before you
speak again next sunday. You have better
mission. Come down and do 1t. The Master is
waiting HIS servant and the work Is not done.
Mortals are calling their guide ana the leader is
gone from their hearing. The Church is asking
Tor workmen and the iaborer has forsaken his
duty. The theatre s asking for reformers. but the
reformed has turned blgot. The world needs good
men everywhere and men too good have turned
haters OF their kind, and condemn, out do not de-
liver.
Everything is dam my d, especially women. Good
women do not belong to theatres, says Tabernacle

Come down, Brother TalmaRe. There ts work in

clearly. Then, when we are once more on good

BOSTON, Nov. II, 1874.
An important case. anecrlne the rights OF sports

Brighton district Of the Municipal Court. The
case was that OF the agents OF the society which

against Luther Adams, OF the fremont shooting
Club OF this city. 1t seems that Mr.. Adams, in

and the agent OF the Humane Society prosecuted
him. claiming that in woundtng the pigeon and nos
instantly killing 1t he had violated the law for the
prevention OF cruelty to animals. It was shown.
and, in fact generally admitted. that Mr. Adams
was good shot and hnd no intention OF innictine
unnecessary pain on the bird. and the counsel Tor

what he considered the absurdity OF the charge OF

bird shooting, and he thought conviction would
discourage the growth OF good marksmanshlp-a
matter to be deplored, as there was no doubt that
good gunners rendered the state good service.
The bird was wild; and as there was no law
