T.4LMAGE'S TRIAL.

After several weeks duration the Brooklyn
bear garden, otherwise known as the trial of
the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage by the Brook
Ign presbytery, has closed. Throughout it
has been most disgraceful proceeding, and
mountebank though he is, MIR. Talmage has
the sympathy of nine-tenths of the public.
The charge against him was lying and deceit,
and while some of the specifications were
pretty clearly proven, the malice of the
prosecution was SO conspicuous that nearly
everybody is gratifed at his acquittal, even
though it was brought about by bare ma
jority vote.
For years past Mr.. Talmage has advertised
himself pretty thoroughly by means of his
eccentricities in the pulpit, and has fairly
won the title of the theological Jumping
Jack. He has a certain style of eloquence
that is novel if not pleasing, and knowl-
edge of the fact that the majority of people
like variety and sensation has enabled him
to attract wide attention and large congre-
cations. So CONSPICUOUS has he become that
he drew largely from the congregations
around him, and while he was indulging in
pulpit gymnastics to six thousand people in
his immense tabernacle, his clerical brethren
were drooling out stupid doctrinal discourses
to handful of sleepy auditors. Seeing hin
50 prosperous and popular, it is no wondel
that these slow-going fellows should be greer
with envy, and finally resolve to crush him
It was easy enough to find basis for charge
against man of Mr.. Talmage's character
istics. He could easily have been convicte'
of error of doctrine, for while professin
to adhere to the five points of Calvinisn
he INDUCED in many doctrinal vagarie
not at all palatable to the average blue

PEMB1NA, D. T., via st. Vincent, May TO-
This morning, at l o'clock, lightning struck
the United States custom house building, burn
ing it to the ground. Documents, files and
blanks were nearly all destroyed. The build
ing, owned by G. }. Brown, almost new, cost

cupied by the Masons, who lost part of their
regalias and records. Loss about 500. The
building adjoining, occupied by G. J. Brown as
saloon and billiard room, part of the contents
were saved. Loss not known. The United
States custom house moved into an old build
ing and will be ready for business soon. The
! same current that struck the customs building
followed the telegraph line in the United
States signal Office, near by, completely de.
molishing the instruments. They are ready
for business again.

The question of whether or not Mr.. Hayes
will veto the bill forbidding military interfer-

be convinced that the party of Mr.. Hayes is
opposed to free government, and as con-
sequence it will be promptly discarded.

Cruel Treatment of a Wife and Mother-in-
Law.

Law. ...
The case of Michael O'Brien, arrested on
the charge of maltreating his wife and
mother-inlaw, came before Judge Flint for
hearing yesterday morning, and the evidence
of the complaining witnesses revealed q
wretched state..of domestic infelicity. The
young wife, a prepossessing French woman,
testified to having married the defendant a
little more than year ago, since when she
has led an existence, eventful only for its alb
sence of Joy and fecundity of incidents that
have blotted the affection with thorns and
crushed the soul with heart aches.
With becoming timidity, and shrinking air
that was 10th to condemn her recreant hus-
band, the witness related the manner in
which he was wont to come home in his
cups, and subject her to the vilest maltreat-
ment. From comparatively slight abuse, he
finally threatened to take her life, when she
sought refuge and protection with her pa
rents. A few days since, O'Brien repaired to
the residence of his mother-in-law and tried
! to forcibly effect an entrance. The mother
in-law demonstrated, whereupon the craven
directed his manly Ipowers to vigorous
assault upon the resistless, weak,
and wrinkled cheek of age
Having nothing particular to say, as an off
set to the serious charges, the prisoner, a
rather dapper looking individual, was fined
800 and costs, and put under $500 bonds
to keep the peace for sixty days, in default
| of which he was committed for two months

The lecture on Monday evening by the Rev.

he delivers here will bear but slightly upon
theology. TIE London Quarterly Rcvie1y in
speaking of his lecture, says:
''For searching philosophical analysis, for
keen and merciless assertion Of eternal truth

soul to its foundations, for widely diversified
and most apt illustrations drawn from wide

and for noble loyalty to those great Christian
verities which the author afirms and vndi-
