THE WRONG ROAD To lIEvEN.-A party
of reyivalistS recently left st. Louis for a
trip through Texas, travelling by rail. At
the town of Houston, while the train waited
few moments, it became known through
the city who were abroad, and the citizens
were anxious that the revivalists should
tarry there awhile. Finally they persuaded
the ladies TO 90 ont upon the platform at
the depot and sing. In the meantime Mrs.
Morrill,, wife OF a prominent Baptist clergy
man of St. Louis, stepped across the street
to restaurant, and while there overheard
conversation between two young fellows,
who were wondering what was the cause of
the disturbance At length she turned to
one of them and said They're band of
pilgrims, singing on their way to heaven"
One of them replied lazily: "Waal. they've

GRAND TOURNAMENT AT CARROLL CorTAGE-
The Tournament planned BY the congregation
of ST. Johns church was a decided success
not only in the amusement ii afforded to the
large throng gathered to witness the fitting Of
the Knights, but also, we understand, in a
financial point Of view
The day was one we'll adapted for such sport,
being cool and pleasant, and about 3 o'clock
the eayly-costumed Knights, headed by the
Rockville Band, were led to The stand, when
George Peter, Esq, delivered brief but well
directed address, eXhorting he Knights to use
every energy to obtain The honor Of browning
the Queen OF Love and Beauty
They were again formed by twos and led to
the ground of the tourney, where, although
there was no blood split and but one Knight
endorsed, occasioned by The breaking of his
saddle-girth, the sport was undoubtedly wit
messed with as much delight and excitement as
when tile Knights Of old contested for the
honors of the day in the presence of King
John.
The knights were allowed three rides each
at two rings placed at distance ofabout fifty
feet apart, and there being twenty-one con-
teStants for the honors, two hours were con-
sumed in the fitting, after which the judges
declared Mr. Howard Dorsey entitled to the
first honor, Mr.. Calvin Brown the second,
Sir. P.nSney NARROW the third and Mr. Dallas
Mullcan the fourth
The Knights we're then marched to the stand
where Miss Corinne Bohrer, the lovely and
accomplished daughter of Julius Bohrer, ESQ.,,
on. whose premises the tourney was held. was
crowned Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss
Scaggs First Maid of Honor, Miss Killer Sc
cond Maid of Honor, and Miss Clark Third
Maid of Honor. The Hon. Montgomery Blair

The GREAT SgAspAL.--The final act in the
disgusting Beecher-Tlton drama was played
upon the boards Of Plymouth Church on Fri
most dsgraceful character aud came near re-
sulting in n general row. Muulton was on
hand, and attempted 10 protest against the
whitewashing report Of the committee, but
he was quickly silenced, and only saved from
personal violence by the intervention of the
police. We think the general sentiment Of the
public is pretty well expressed in The follow
ing from the Washington Star:
The tournament of liars in Brooklyn came
TO an end on Friday night, lei us hope in the
prcsentment and adoption Of The report Of the
committee appointed TO Investigate the charges
made some weeks ago by Mr.. Tilton against
Mr.. Beecher. The report is favorable 10 Mr..
beecher throughout. In fact it completely ex-
onerates him. so far the verdict of such a body
can have that effect.
This result was TO have been expected from
the first. Whatever reasons may be assigned
in the paper, it is evident that the committee S
conclusion has been reached by accepting the
W DStNiieT, hTS, D lituU anu lut
girl Bessy as true, rejecting that of Mr. Tilton
MS wholly false, and throwing that Of Mr..
Monlton out of the scales altogether. The
verdict as rendered may perhaps satisfy the
majority of the members of Plymouth church
and the personal adherenls of Mr. Beecher,
who were determined TO acquit him in any
event; but il Will not he accepted as final by
the general public. g Not proven, is about
as favorable judgment as can be hoped for
from that tribunal. Mr.. Beecher may retain
his hold upon his congregation and small
circle outside who admire his great talents but
II is useless TO try to disguise the fact that his
wider and more useful influence is gone This
will be more apparent year or two hence than
il is now, but the melancholy fact will dem
onsirate itself in time, just as it has been dem
onstrated over aud over again in the past in
cases almost similar. Sympathy and person.
al popularity may afford u show of strength
and confidence for II while, but such q founda-
ton is not broad and deep enough for nm en-
during structure. The majority of intelligent
people want for a religious teacher one about
whose morals there is no ground for any
doubt.
