for error of doctrine would not suit the pur
poses of his prosecutors, for it would very
likely only increase his popularity, as it did
Prof. Swings. They searched for some-
thing that would injure his moral character
in the eyes of the public at large, and in his
business transactions with The Christian at
Work they thought they had discovered
what they were after. The sum and sub
stance of the whole matter was that, after
entering into contract to write for that
paper for two years, che struck for higher
wages SO to speak, and beng refused his
demand transferred his labor to rival paper.
1t was very unbusiness-ike transaction, to
be sure, but there was nothing criminal in it
unless breach of contract can be denominat-
ed as criminal. After weeks of elaboration,
the hearing of testimony and arguments,
pro and Goa, which partook more of the
character of wild beast show than of an
assemblage of. grave and reverend clergy
men, the charges were not sustained. A
deal of bad blood was displayed, and it would
require microscope of wonderful magnify
ing power to discover where the brotherly
spirit came in. No assemblage of politi-
clans with diverse interests and views was
ever more disorderly or exhibited so much
bitterness towards each other. Talmage's
friends were almost as bad as his enemies
in their recriminations, and the whole affair
was disgrace to the name of the Christian
church. We are glad it is over, and though
we are no admirer of Mr.. Talmage, we are
glad it resulted as it did.

T4LMaGE'S TRIAL.

After several weeks duration the Brooklyn
bear garden, otherwise known as the trial of
the Rev. L. De Witt Talmage by the Brook
Ign presbytery, has closed. Throughout it
has been a 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 we're
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
lack. He has 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 him
so prosperous and popular, it is no wonder
that these slow-going fellows should be greer
with envy, and finally resolve to crush him
It was easy enough to find basis for charges
against a man of Mr.. Talmage's character
istics. He could easily have been convicted
of error of doctrine, for while professin!
to adhere to the five points of Calvinism
he INDUCED in many doctrinal vagarie
not at all palatable to the average blue

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
PEMB1NA, D. T., via st. Vincent, May TO-
This morning, at 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. J. Brown, almost new, cost
1000. The second story was a large hall oc-
cupied by the Masons, who lost part of their
regalias and records. Loss about 800. The
building adjoining, occupied by G. J. Brown as
a 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.
We had heavy rain for about two hours.

toms building. Now that Congress is in ses-
sion it could be easily arranged. Although the
loss to Pembina would be great, the benefit to
st. Vincent and the traffic would be cores
pondingly great.

opposed to free government, and as a con-
sequence it will be promptly discarded.

Cruel Treatment of Wife and Mother-in-
The case of Michael O'Brien, arrested on
the charge of maltreating his wife and
mother-in-la law, came before Judge Flint for
hearing yesterday morning, and the evidence
of the complaining witnesses revealed a
wretched statesof domestic infelicity. The
young wife, 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 vas 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 fpowers to vigorous
assault upon the resistless, weak
and wrinkled cheek of age

For searching philosophical analysis, for
keen and merciless assertion of eternal truth
in the august name of science such as fills the
soul to its foundations, for widely diversified
and most apt illustrations drawn from wide
field Of reading and observation, for true poetic
feeling for a pathos without any mixture of
