SPECIAL TO THE EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
what the I" World THINKS OF Mr..
Tinden.s Statement.

New York, February 10.
The World thinks Mr.. Tilden's state
ment is conclusive. and adds One OF the
strange features of this investigation was
the evident incapacity Of two of the MEM
beers Of the committee to understand why .
decent man should hesitate to denounce
the mans nephew to him as q scamp. The
austere political moralist who stands ready
to commit forgery, il necessary, in sup
port Of great moral ideas, would no doubt
insist that it is the duty Of a Presidential
candidate to strike his sister rather than
suffer himself to be held to ccount. We
have never discerned such a Roman force
Of character in Mr.. Tillen, and we are not
sufficiently interested in bis political for
tunes to find fault with him for falling
short Of it.
Major Reno ON the stand.
CHICAGO, February 10.
Major Reno was again on the stand to-
day, and answering q question, replied EN-
phatically that it was not cowardice that
made him move from the timber on the
hill, on the occasion of the Custer battle.
He had q flask Of whisky, but did not
drink a drop until the battle was over. He
used it on the 9th. when On the Custer
battle-ground, where he stencil was so
severe that the officers drank it. He was
pressed as to his opinion Of Custer, and
finally confessed that he had no confidence
in him as q soldier, but said his relations
with Custer we're friendly. Had his own
brother been with Custer. be could not
have done differently. lie would do the
same again under the same circumstances,
with the knowledge he then had. The
long trial was closed by the defense sub
hitting some documents. The arguments
will be submitted ON Monday and the case
closed.
Rev. Ms. Talma.c's Sermon.
New YORK, February 10.
The Times thus disposes Of Mr.. Tai
images sermon yesterday: Probably in an
~ticipation that he would rave something to
say On the subject of the Brooklyn Presby-
terry, Mr.. Talmage's Church was crowded
in q manner. yesterday morning, that was
suggestive Of unparalleled disaster should a
fire break out, for all the aisles were
crowded with camp stools, set in double
rows, and the passageways in the rear were
filed with people standing. The large
attendance had an celebrating effect on
the pastor, who announced the collection
with much JUNCTION, and threw himself,
arms and1egs, about. and screeched during
the sermon more franctically than ever.
But this was all that the amusement seek
ers got for their money. Instead of being
twice as sensational as hitherto, as he had
promised. Mr.. Talmage was exceedingly
mild in his utterances, and seemed to be
hedging. as it we're. He started off prom
isingly by telling about how he had torn
leaf after leaf out Of his theology, until all
that remained was the sinfulness of man,
and %hn causnr ,Axrcr az H1r,yf Inf ha
almost Immediately simmered down into a
practical discourse on the pleasantness Of
religion, in which one or two extraordinary
metaphors, and the ridiculous delivery be-
fore alluded to, alone detracted from the
admirable sentiments expressed.
Rev. Mr.. Bcechcr ON The HIeathen
Chinee.
NEW YoRK, February 10.
In a sermon yesterday, Mr.. Beecher
said If l could control what / would like
to control, / would send such voice to
Washington, protesting against that infa-
nous bill excluding Cinnamon from our
country, as would make the pen tremble,
or fall from the hand of the President, be-
fore he could sign it. tApplause. We
have enforced the opening Of China to
treaties, by invading it, and hacking the
Cinnamon to pieces with the sword. We
conquered from them their commercial
tribute, and now that they begin to come
to us as do the Germans, Norwegians,
French and all other nations, our Congress
is busy with a law which says to them You
cannot come; you are better workmen;
You live more economically; you save
money, and we will defend eur laggards
from your competition. 1t is an outrage
and infamy which ought not to stain our
land, and you, and every voter will be eter-
nally blamed if you do not see to it that
this deed is not consummated. Goo ex-
poets from You that you will use the polit-
ical power which he has given you to the
end which will augment to The honor Of
humanity as well as to His own glory.
Captain Bogaraus' Little Trick.
NEW YORK, February 10.
The esprit of the Times charges, in
its last issue, that the recent feat OF break
ing 5000 glass balls out of 6,013 fired at,
performed by Captain Bogardus at the Hip
podrome last month, was not correctly
performed that the necks of the balls had
been nipped off before they we're used, SO
that whether hit or not, they would appear
to have been hit and that the rise, instead
Of being Is yards, was but II yards and
two feet. Captain Bogardus is not in the
| city.
Indians on the Increase.
WASHINGTON, February 10.
Statistics disprove the universally re-
ceived statement that the Indians are de-
creasing in number. The latest returns
show that they are sensibly and measurably
increasing, there being now a total OF
