Talsnaxe and HIS Critics.

Rev. Mr.. Talmage devoted his ser
mon Sunday morning to his scritics. He
declared "a war of twenty-five years
against inqui,y for Christ's sake and
said between the tabernacle and low
bed in Green wood Cemetery there should
not bs au inch OF retreat, indifference
or compromise. He had been criticised
by some of his clerical brethren as a
sensational mountebank, but he "would
not retort on the dear souls, but wished
them all good luck with large audiences,
Sl5, 900 salaries a house full,of children
and Heaven to boot" He was 80 busy
in assaulting The power Of darkness
that hs had no time to stop and stab
any one of his own regiment i'll the
back. When fellow minister threw
an ecclesiastical brick at him he would
pour holy oil on that ministers head
until it runs down OH his collar. He
thanked the secular press for tho dis.
semination of his sermons. Mr.. Tai
mage emphatically denied falsehood
which had invaded the sanctity of his
house. He said it had been stated in
private circles and Newspapers that
many years ago he wentfaling on the
Schuykill river with his wife and her
sister, when suddenly the boat capsiz-
ed, and that, having an opportunity
Of saving either his wife or her sister,
he saved her sister, marrying her
sixty days after. He said he proposed
''to nail that infamous lie on the fore
head Of the william, man or woman, and
to invoke the law to help him. He
then explained the calamity; 1t was not
his wifes sister, but his own sister
His present wife was not within one
hundred miles of the place, and so TAR
from being sisters, they were entire
strangers, and had never heard Of each
other.

CHANGE IN THE LIQUOR LAW.

A CHANGE IN THE LIQUOR LAW.
To those interested in the temperance
work OF your city, 1t may BE- Of import
ance to know that there IL TO be
change, either for better or for worse,
in the present liquor law. What that
change will BE- has not yet been fully
determined upon. The iniquitous
working Of the present system has pre-
pared the minds Of the members fer
any chang. whereby the people may
bs satisfied and the interests Of the
State served with becoming fidelity.
How they propose to harmonize these
conflicting interests is an abstract
question. They are all aware that in
the city Of Wilmington, alone, there
are upward Of four hundred liquor "a
looms open, where "cr0oked whisk-y'
is dispensed in direct violation Of the
law. They compute this as dead loss
to the States revenue, and consequent
ly tend more to the idea that it would
b. far better to remove the structure,
and let all sell, but raise the tax upon
its disposition, and thus remove the
existing temptation to sell, and pre-
vent men of AL classes from engaging
in ths traffic.

sTABBTNG AFFRAY.
The Resurtiof a sunday spree.

Z y + a + /.
Considerable excitement was caused, and
a large crowd of people assembled in the
vicinity of Bengston's drug store, Sunday
afternoon, by a SWede, named Robert
Nordund, d blacksmith from Deere's pillow
shops. being brought there to have his
wounds dressed. He had two cuts; one
a flesh wound in the right forearm, and
the other in the left side, which penetrat-
ed between two of the lower ribs. Neither
of the wounds were thought to be danger
Gus, unless the cut in the side had reached
the stomach or lung or should produce in
terual bleeding. The fellow was still un-
der the influence Of too much beer for
DR.. Gait, who was called to attend him, to
determine the full extent of his injuries.
The wounds were dressed and he was sent
to his home in Moline in hack.
The disturbance .seems to have been
the result of spree, and was an unpro-
voked assault. 1t seems that five work
men in the shops who gave the names OF
Charles Henderson, Martin Consedine
Robert Nordlund, VIM. Miers and Thomas
Jones, went to the Hallway House on
Moline avenue early in the forenoon and
remained there drinking for some time.
Then they came down to Augustana Col.
Iege 10 East Rock Island. when two of the
party went away from the other threeto
lie down. Those who remained in sight
| of the college were Henderson, Nordluud
and Miers. Henderson persisted in max
| ing an indecent exposure of his person in the
presence LOT psssers by, and Nordlund and
MierS had sense enough left to reprimand
him, for doiugsso His first assault was
upon Miers whom he kicked in the bow.
els. sMiers aud Nordlund then ran towards
one OF the house and just as they reached
the gate Henderson overlooked them and
and stabbed Nordlund as stated above
besides hitting him on the right ear.
Officer Hull soon put in gu appearance
and with the help on U. n. Whiffen sue
ceeded 10 arresting all ethe parties. They
were brought to Moline avenue, put or
the street car, and Henderson, Considinc
and Jones were lodged in Jail
The three were brought before Justice
HAYES, this morning, but Nordlund being
unable to appear. the examination was
postponed until April 2lst at p, ~, and
the three offenders held in $500 each to
appear at that time. Unable TO furnish
bail, they were jailed. Nordund is in q
precarious condition.
