Van Dyke, which was published in Yesterdays TRlB-
UNR. TRIBUNE reporter then called 10 see Ut.
Have you read the letter OF DIR. Van DykeT
"Yes. suppose It was called out by the article /
published in The Independent. January 10. Ny sim
gle Object in that article TO inquire whether tho
testimony of DR.. Tamage as given on bis trial, to
which DR.. Van Dyke referred in bis letter 70 DR..
of October 4, 1876. with c. H. Howard & Co.
Ito which DR.. Van Dyke also referred in bis letter
TO DIR. Talmage) was so lncOnsstant with that con-
tract as to show that DR.. Talmagc had been guilty
of false swearing. | answered this question III the
negative. My first reason for the answer was that
if there were discrepancies between Dr. Ialnages
testimony and the contract, which lie had not seen
for three years and O half reasonable charity
could easily account for even grave discrepancies
without assuming any Intentional false swearing t6
testimony of DIR. 1almage with the contract
there was no discrepancy. My third reason
was that the affidavit of General Howard who was
the other party TO the contract, winch was read be-
fore the Presbytery, entirely cOrrObOrates DIR. Tai
IMAGES understanding of the contract as he testified
to it. My sole object in the light of these reasons
was to furnish an anlwer to the public m nd in re-
Epect to the recent canor against the good name OF
Dr. Ta%age Dr. Van Dyke in nj; ;h letter Which
makes no reply whatever 10 this argument AS to
the other matters that appear III his letter. see no
occasion for saying anything" -
lis true that you have stated that it was Mr..
Corwin to whom Mr., Ialmage showed bis valedic-
tory October 8, 1S7GP
in The Brooklyn Eagle that Mr.. Corwin is the man to
whom Dr. Talmage ~ alleged TO have Iead his vale
dictOry on the morning of October o, 1876. have
said no such thing anywhere. don't know that
DR.. Talmage read such yaledctOry TO any man on
that morning, and no evidence of any kInd has yet
been furnished TO the public that he did So"
Major b. X. COrwin has written a letter denying
that he saw the contents Of tho contract Of Dr. Tai
mage with q. H. Howard a. Co.; he only witnessed
the signature and did not know single sentence
cOntauned IN the contract. He also stated that he
never was DR.. Ialmages business manager, aud that
he testified at the trial that the paper not In his
possession and never bad been.

upon Superintendent MoQuoWn, a gentleman
whose whole life, il might be- said, has thus far
been devoted to the education and intellectual
advancement Of the youth Of our county. Allow
mo here to remark that always have held, aud
perhaps always shall cherish, the political prin-

writer Of this knew him from infancy, and must
say he was one Of the kindsst hearted and most
generous Of young men All his impulses were
good and noble His mind was an unusually
brilliant one, and his information exteniive. He
was a great reader Of history and poetry, and his
conversation always abounded 10 beautiful
thoughts. As a musician, 10 stood foremost in

fairly With the requirements 81 perfect musician

sought for when good music was wanted We
shall hear bis voice 20 more, nor shall / ever
again clasp his kindly mnd, The death Of
"Link' is much regretted ty the community in
which he lived. He seems to have been a model
young man in all respects, and died calmly aud
fenrlessly like ono "who wraps the dmpory Of his
couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams
