The Brooklyn Presbytery that has been
trying Rev. T. De Witt Talmage six
weeks for telling lies has acquitted him
twenty out OF the forty-five elders, how
ever, being of the opinion that the great
sensationalist did lie. The trial has been
very sloppy one and all concerned in it
had easily been in better business. The
man roars and will roar and it docsn t
make much difference whether he sticks to
the truth in private or not His public
utterances are foolish enough to condemn
him anywhere except in Brooklyn audi
ence. Justin d. Fulton by the way has
apologized to his Baptist brethren in
Brooklyn and they are on good terms
again-for short season. Hepworth, in
New York, has come to some kind of
grief-couldn't make his church run as
he wanted to. His sky-rocket didn't 60

stick has attracted little attention. We
forget what denomination he is now ut.

One Of the most atrocious cases of per-
seculion on account of color is that of Ed
ward Kinney, (colored). and his wife,
Mary (whire), Of II mover county, Vir-
ginia. Wishing to be married, and rs the
Virginia law forbids black man TO mar
ry white woman, they went to the Dis
trict of Columbia, and were married
there, according to the laws of the dis
trict. Upon their return to Virginia they
were arrested, indicted, tried and convict
ell on the charge that they had married,
and they were sentenced to five years
imprisonment in the penilentiary. where
they are now incarcerated. Their offence
is one against which God has no law
against which nature has no law, us the
thousands of Virginia mulattoes prove
and one which under the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution of the
United States cannot be made II crime. In
Virginia for generations black and white
have been allowed to cohabit freely, lille
lily, but if they marry, they must still, it
seems, go to the penilcntiary. We are
glad to see that the United States district
attorney has issued proceedings in the
federal court 10 override the decision OF
the state court.

LINCOLN TO HooKER.-The Providence
Journal prints letter which it says was
written by President Lincoln to General
Hooker, just after the latter took command
of the army of the Potomac. The presi-
dent had shown it to mutual friend, to
whom, after Hooker received it, the latter
said: ut is such letter ms father
might have written to his son, and vet it

his eyes, be said: "When have been to

politics with your profession. in which
you are right. You have confidence in
yourself, which is u valuable, if not indis-
pensable, quality. You are ambitious,
which within reasonable bounds, does
good rather than harm; but | think that
during Gen. Burnside's command of the
army you have taken counsel of your
ambition and thwarted him as much rs
you could, in which you did great wrong
to the country and to most meritorous
and honorable brother officer | have
heard in such way as to believe it, of
your saying that both the army and the
government needed dictator. OF course
it was not for this, but in spite of il that |

generals who gain successes can set up AS
dictators What | now ask of YOU is
military success, and | will risk the die
tatorship. The government will sup
port you 10 the utmost of its ability,

A LAKE MoNsTER,-The celebrated
Lake Champlain sea serpent has again
made its appearance. The St Adams
Messenger SAWS that on Friday afternoon
Charles II. Harvey. L. M. Downing and
w. NJ. Dowing. while fishing in II row boat
west of St. Albums shore, heard great
agitation of the water ut distance, and
on looking towards Buffers Island, some
two miles away, they discovered that the
water WAS dashed into foam. A dead
calm was prevailing, there being not so
much rs Il ripple on the water anywhere
else. At first they thought this might
have been caused by II school of fish
coming to the surface, but this rational
supposition was soon dispelled. The
agitation increased and in II moment the
water was thrown to an estimated height
of thirty or forty feet. In the midst of it
they discovered dark object of considera-
BILE bulk. which would rise to Il height of
ten or fifteen feet for minute or two and
then 90 down and come up again. They
pulled for the spot as fast rs they coulj.
but before they got near enough to gel
any distinct outline of the object, it dove
ont of sight and the water soon became
placid. The appearance, however, had
continued some ten minutes. and it i'm.
pressed each beholder alike. What II
was they do not pretend to say, but that
it was something one or two feet in diam
eter and at least ten or twelve feet lone.
and alive and active and powerful, thew
positively know.

Not The Goose For Her Set.

/ was riding with Charles Dickens ont

with one of his bursts of laughter. Oh
my asking, with smile of anticipation
what the joke was, he took from hi!
pocket letter just received from Harrie
Martineau, who was staying at Tyne
mouth for her health, and who had noted
the following incident of life in lodg-
ings:
In the same house as the autboress was

Portable in person and in circumstances,
and not little vulgar; and on the floor
above a lady of delicate health, Of
Strengthened income, but of distinguished
connections, as she proclaimed TO the
TynemoEth world. As Mrs. a. below
was sting down one dav all alone to her
midday dinner of roast goose, it seemed
to the good soul that even her enjoyment
of so excellent bird would be increased
by participation with the solitary. sickly,
and ILL., fed Mrs. B. above; she therefore
cut some delicate slices from the breast
and sent them up between two hot plates
accompanied by sage and onions and gra-
Wy and her mpliments, by the hands
of Betty the maid There was an omin-
Gus, an awful pause OF some duration,
and then Betty came down again, paler,
with the luncheon untouched between
the two hot plates, and on top OF them a
note which was to this effect, verbatim

The secret of all success in fictitious lit
erature is in that one word endeavor. Tt
struggle for something that seems almost
impossible to win, to make that struggle
heroic in its self deninal and high hope
is to seize on and hold the popular heart
If there is success there is delight; il
failure, there is grief as the fictitious
characters were alive and very near to
us.
Our little heroine was fighting for her
life. Her love had became her life. Day
after day, month after month, year that
run into year, she had but one thought, or
rather one hope. and that was to appear
before her love, worthy his love and not
his horror.
= The long, dreary struggle was drawing
to close, when one day she happened to
pick up Western journal, and suddenly
she threw it from her with Il wild cry.
The good doctor and his attendants could
not comprehend the cause. She had
caught the name of her lover, and read a
brief notice of bis marriage.
Poor little girl She felt more wretched
in her strength, health and beauty than
when helpless cripple she sat in the

could not allow the daughter of a friend
to run the risk of catching it. The young
lady persisted, and would not leave the
house; but the mother, much as it panied
her, was firm in her refusal. However,
in the evening the young friend being on
the watch, saw the paid watcher leave the
room to go down to supper, leaving the
| door unlocked. She Immediately entered,
and having reverently kissed her friends
pale face, knelt down by the side OF the
bed to pray. There were candles at each
side of the bed at its head, and two
placed on table at its foot.
The poor girl was deep in her prayers,
when suddenly, without any movement or
warning, the dead girl sat up and said in
sharp tone of voice: Que fatstu ldl'
What are you doing there0 Startled and
horrifed to the last degree, her friend
sprang to her knees, and in trying to
rush out of the room upset the table on
which the candles were placed and be-
came wedged between it and the bed, her
head downmost! inextricably entangled,
she shrieked loudly for help. The sup
posed dead girl had keen sense of the
ridiculous, and being weakened from ill
ness, she went off into a hysterical fit of
laughter; and the more her poor friend
kicked and screamed, the more she kept
up the duet by peals Of laughter. The
mother and household hearing the noise,
rushed up as quickly as possible. The
mother was the first to enter the room,
and being a quick witted woman, at once
comprehended the situation; she flew to
her daughter and angrily ordering her to
be quiet and not laugh at her friends
misfortune, she pressed her TO her
bosom, and hastily tearing off wreath
and veil, dropped them on the floor and
kicked them under the bed; then calling
assistance, she carried the girl into an
other room and put her to bed. The
doctor, who had been at once seut for,
ordered her to be taken home without
DELAY, and they started as soon as was
possible. She perfectly recovered; but
strangely enough, could never call TO
mind the startling events of her return to
life. She afterward married the gentle
man who was the hero of the first story.
Her poor friend, when extricated from
her unpleasant position, was quite de-
lirious; she nearly died, and sue never
entirely recovered from the shock her
friends sudden return to life had gwen
her."
On writing to the lady who related
these anecdotes for permission to publish
