ST. AuGUsT1HE's CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Trial CT the Grand Organ.

The grand organ built by Schumacher & Co.,
Baltimore, the full particulars of which we
published in connection with description of
this beautiful church some months ago, was
tested last night in the presence of a select
audience, embracing many professionals OF
high rank in the musical world and the repre-
sentatives of the local press. Among the
former were Professor Fred. Eversmann, jr., of
Baltimore, Md; Professors Coleman, Lucas
ard Esputa, of Washington, d. G. The in
strument is grand in conception and execution,
ard is rot only the largest, but is decidedly
the most magnificent in appearance and grand
as 10 soitncss and volume of sound in Wash
ington. The opening piece was an overture
to FRA Diavolo," by Professor Evers-
mann, who by his skillful touch, scientific ap-
plicalion and his thorough knowledge of the
magnificent instrument brought forth it's
harmonious melody and great power.
The organ is in perfect keeping with the
general arrangement of the church, which is
grand, and reflects credit upon the master
sp rit, Father Barrott', who conceived and
Executed the whole. The public will have an
Cpl ortunity of hearing this grand instrument
sCn,e time next month, at which time a con-
cert will be giS en-, and the instrument be IN
der the direction of Professor Eversmaun, of
Baltimore; Professor Morgan, of Brooklyn,
and other celebrated professional organists.

his advantage over his opponent, he was de-
clared the victor of the occasion.

attention that Broadway, between Howard
and Grand streets, was crowded during the
whole of last week to so great an extent that
it was almost impossible for the ordinary
pedestrian to force his way through the null
titude, has not had the effect of awakening
our people to a full appreciation of their
condition Yet it is plain that there is a
great scarcity Of water in the lower part Of
the city; that the street mains are unable to
carry sufficient supply for the ordinary
wants of business, to say nothing Of the
quantities which would be needed in a great
emergency, and that seven hundred and
fifty million dollars worth of property is in
danger within two blocks of Broadway from
Spring to Chambers streets. 1t is not pos
sible to contemplate such a condition of our
water supply without feelings of alarm, and
we commend the whole subject to those
whose duty it is to provide against the con-
tingencies of the future as one of the
highest Importance and fraught with the
most important consequences.

The Two Big Bs OF Brooklyn.

There are many persons, in Plymouth
church particularly, who profess to believe
that the real antagonist of Mr.. Beecher has
always been Mr.. Bowen. He is the secret
enemy, they say, who, like the man in the
Pilgrims Progress" continually poured
from his concealment oil upon the fire that
others vainly tried to quench. Mr.. Tilton,
they tell US, fought openly, but Mr.. Bowen
attacked treacherously and for years kept
the scandal alive by his intrigues
Well, however this may have been,
the mask is dropped at last, and Mr.. Beecher
and Mr.. Bowen confront each other as open
foes. The religious editor has called the
preacher hypocrite, perjurer and adulterer,
and the clergyman has called the layman
slanderer and liar. This plain issue is made,
but it is very uncertain whether 1t will soon
be settled. Mr.. Bowen proposes three
Judges who are to try the facts and render
verdict to the public, but are not to reveal
the names of persons concerned; and to
this Mr.. Beecher objects. The position
is like that of modern prize fight,
which never comes off because of a dispute
ABOUT Tie TelcIee. oOue years ago TWO no
torious pugilists got into a ring in Western
State and glared at each other and called
each other names for half day, and left the
ring at last without fighting, because neither
side would accept the referee the other
named 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Bowen
and Mr.. Beecher will not weary and
disgust the public with such an ex-
hibition but so long as they merely
abuse each other there can be no other feel
ings in regard to their dispute. If Mr.. Bowen
can accept the summons of the Examining
Committee of Plymouth church to appear in
ten days and tell his story he should do so,
and if Mr.. Beecher wishes to clear himself
he must not oppose any impediment to an inn
partial inquiry. AS the affair now stands
the two big Bs threaten to become the two
big bores
