AT the Brooklyn Tabernacle, one day
last week, O clergyman who was advising
the audience not to patronize grocers,
butchers, BARRIERS, or the street cars on
Sunday, was suddenly choked off by
Brother Moody, who told him to confne
his remarks to the subject before him.
Brother Moody don't want the Sunday
question mixed up in his revival.
The pubic may be thankful for one
thing-that the clerical investigation of
Mr.. Beecher is TO be conducted secretly.
The conclusions reached by the COM
mittee and the reasons for acquitting or
condemning the accused will be made
known, but the people will be spared the
noisome necessity of going over the
scandal ground again, inch by inch and
step 10y step. For this every decent
newspaper.1eader must be exceedingly
glad.
WASHINGTON correspondents intimate
that there will soon be important
changes in the Indian service. Just
what they are is not specified, nor is it
stated whether there will be changes OF
policy as well rs men; but the recent
visit to the Capital of Gems. Sheridan
and Crock, and their private consulta-
ton with the President and Secretary
Chandler, which it is known was in ref
erence to Indian affairs, give rise to
rumors that the military are to have
more 70 90 with Indian matters in the
future than they have had in the past.
The announcement of the death of
Marshal Bazaine seems to be premature.
He was last in Madrid. A curious fact
brought ont by the reported decease of
this once favored soldier is that Marshal
MacMahon never believed the Marshal to
have been guilty of treason. Hence the
death sentence was committed to Danish
ment, and the escape of the prisoner but
little noticed by the government. Ger
tainly, there has been no effort to re-
capture him, nor demand upon any
power fos his delivery into the hands of
the French President.
RECORDER HACKETT, of New York, is
one of the tnestpistol shotsin the country.
1t is related of him that one day, few
Gears ago, as he was discussing with his
father, the famous Falstaff, and George
Clarke, the actor, the merits of various
noted shots, Clarke wagered that young
Hackett could not hit a common playing
card three hundred feet distant. He ac-
cepted the challenge, and offered further
to knock cigar from his fathers mouth
with pis.ol-ball at the same distance.
Both feats were successfully accom-
plished.
The suicide of Morris S. Kimball OF
Fulton, n. Y, is dramatic and full Of
significance. He had been engineer Oh
the Oswego Canal for twenty. sever
years, and, on salary of $500 year
supported lis family in luxury and accu
mulated large property. In his pockets
were found an empty razor case, copie:
of the laws for the punishment of bribery
and bribe-taking. and a schedule OF hi
savings, showing the amount of $50, 900
The country would be relieved if som'
other prominent citizens" should b,
moved by similar quickening of con
science.
