NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-A very large au-
Qience greeted the Rev. T. De Witt Tai

Mems Hebrew Association what he knew
about "Big Blunders." Among all the
faces turned toward the Brooklyn orator
there was not one that wore a more attTac-
tive smile than that Of Long Islands Poet
Farmer Cutter, who WAS seated in the
side gallery. The lecture, for the most
part. seemed 10 elicit the poets unquali-
fed approval. Once only, when Mr.. Tai

never again referred to the subject. He |
had no appreciation for such q man. Blum |

GERMANY.
~ TILE REICHSTAl

Berlin, January 11.-In the reichstag to
day, Windthorst introduced his motion
abrogating the law forbidding the exercise
of ecclesiastical functions without govern
ment authorization.
Klensecht, on behalf OF the conservatives,
and Hobrecht on behalf of the national lib
erals, opposed the motion.
Prof. Nirchow, in the name of the major
ity Of the progressists, supported it and
asked that the representatives OF the bundles
rath state their views.
The imperial secretary of state, Won Bet
ticher, replied that the bundesrsth must
maintain attitude of reserve. The motion
being for the abrogation Of law the gov
crnment could not constitutionally approach
the question until the reichstag had adopted
the motion. The emperor, he said, should
assent to the introduction of measure such
as nobody last year could have anticipated,
and it should be received with thanks and
reverence.
