TALMAGE ON A TEAR.
He Raves Against the Newspa-

Beecher Evidence.
scandal and Nastiness Reigns.

DIR. Talmage has got disgusted with
the developments of the Beechcr trial
He raves against the newspapers for
printing the evidence, and prOphesies
ruin and damnaJiOn to the editors who
print it. A quee.' commentary on his
state OF mind, is the fact that lac himself
has repeatedly been in attendance at the
trial. Now he breaches against all pa
pers which publish the news of the
trial. Among other things he says:
"Down at our Courthouse, day after
day, there is uncovered the corpse of an
abOminatiOn, vaster in blight than Sod
Otn ever knew. 1t is not corpse TWO or
three lays lingering, waiting for
Christian burial, but for eight months
since last midsummer it has been rotting
i'm the face Of the sun, and a thousand
gibbets are lifting it up on exhibition,
and the printing presses are cutting up
the lOathsOme carcass and making it
into mince- meat for a ssvory repast
morning, noon and night; and as the
periodicals don't turn it out fast enough
10 satisfy the public appetite they had to
publish it i'm bOok-form, so that we can
carry it about with US for a lunch be-
tween the morning breakfast and the
evening supper of putridity.
"BrOOklyn to-day eats scandal, drinks
scandal, talks scandal, swears scandal,
lies scandal, sleeps scandal, and from
Fulton Ferry to BushWick, and from
Gowanus to Hunters Point, the city is
paved with scandal and reeks with scan

The Revival.

The revival which progressed for three
weeks at the NJ. Z. Church. was closed
there on Friday night last, and resumed
at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday
night-tbe Methodist and Cumberland
Presbyterian ministers joining most
cordially and heartily with DIR. DuBOse
in conducting it-all of them being ably
and zeaiOusly seconded by DIR. Rivers.
Prayer-meetings are held each morning
at o'clock, and preaching at night.
The interest is still unahated, is continu-
ally catching from heart to heart, and
house to house, and will, we sincerely
hope, continue to catch and burn until
sin is consumed in Pulaski, and the peo-
pie shall bow en- DlGsse to the peaceful
reign of the great Jehovah. Rev. T. D.
Thompson, of Franklin, is also present
and operating.

publication. without exception, il is

TO be, an analysis. 1t is in short, the
Bible in its purity, rearraHged in such
form as to group and classify all texts
and passages which pertain TO the same
subjects, involving a great deal of la
Dor, and affording to Bible students
facilities never before enjoyed. Below

Speech of Hon. w. G. Whit
thOrne at Franklin.

Gen. w. c. Whitthorne, mem Der of
Congress from this Congressional Dis
trict, addressed his constituents at
Franklin, Tenn, last Monday, upon
the political situation and duties of the
hour. The speech was of two hours
length and was listened to with marked
attention throughout by the large audi
ence which had assembled in the court
house TO hear it. He criticised the last
Congress severely, handled Grant and
Sheridan without gloves, and predicted
the election of Democratic President
in 1876. We hope he will report to his
constituents in Giles be fore long.

E8- We remember at a term of the
County Court, last year, petition was
presented by citizens of the neighbor-
hood asking the court to appropriate
funds to build a wall to protect Brad
shaw bridge, on the Fayetteville road,
and setting forth that it would soon be
useless unless such work was done. The
court refused. At the term just holden
this week commissioners were appointed
to inspect and report, and we suppose
the bridge Will be rebuilt. A little ap-
preparation, when asked for, would have
saved the county a considerable amount.

E- Last Sunday morning the Meth
Odist church was crowded and the la
one pew about midway the center tier,
and that was entered by several ladies
but Immediately vacated. after dis
missal inspection revealed the floor in
that pew besmeared with tobacco guilds
and spittle, so that no lady could Oc-
cupy it without sOiling her dress. We
have studied over this question care
fully and come to the conclusion that
some lady did it at Sunday school that
morning, for surely every man who
has taken the trouble to learn how to
chew tobacco has also taken the trouble
to learn some manners; but when a la
day sets out to learn, it engages all of
her attention and she hasn't time to
learn where to spit.

EE- One night last week at the revi-
val the congregation stood up and sang
a hymn. 1t is usual to kneel in prayer
after this ceremony, and remembering
this, young lady in the rear end OF
the church meekly bowed upon her
knees. She thought it strange that her
companions didn't kneel, and decided to
peep up and see how the land lay. She
Immediately discovered that the preach
er had not called the congregation TO
prayer, and so she decided to sill emily
slide up on the seat and escape notice.
She slid, but the meek slide attracted
more attention, and the consequence
was that several persons upon the rear
seats were thrown into litter and some
OF them he'd to ''slide outn OF church
to laugh. And that was the cause of
the disturbance which some may have
noticed. Who wouldn't have laughed |?
