A Remarkable Book by Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage, D. D.
This is said to be year Of remar.
kable books, but doubtless the most
remarkable that will appear for some
time to come is Rev. T. Dewitt Tai
mage's new work on the Life Of
Chris" and "Pa estine and its Peo-
ple." Some idea Of what the book
contains and how it was prepared
may he obtained by reading the fol
lowing extract from the Doctors pre-
face.

This book will certainly be worth

TIE PURITAN GRAZES Il REEF.
SHE HAD CHANGED HER COURSE TO AVOID A
YACHT-THE BIG STEAMER COMES
BACK To HER PIER.

BACK TO HER PIER.
The steamer Puritan, of the Fall River Line. left
her wharf at Murray-st and the North River last
night at her usual hour for departure. o'clock.
There were about 4jO passengers on board. and
a large amount of freight. AS the steamer was
passing Woolsey's Point off the Sunken Meadows,
not far to the northeast of He'll Gate, Commander
A. g. Simmons, who was in the pilot house,
noticed n small yacht tacking toward the east
across his bows. lie thereupOn ordered the pilots,
A. Bralcy and Benjamin Phillips, to change the
steamers course few points to port to avoid
coming in collision with the smaller boat.
He then ordered the men to steer to the east
and resume their course. Just at this moment
a grinding sound apprscd him OF the fact that
the left side of the steamer had struck upon tho
edge of the reef The shock on board tie vessel
was slight and there was excitement among
the passengers The order was then given TO
turn the vessel about and return to the wnari,
where she arrived about 7:45. The passengers
took their disappointment with proverbial Amer
lean good-homor and after the return of their
money at the office, made preparations to Journey
eastward as best they might
1t was said that the cargo would be
unloaded at once and sent on py
the freight steamer City of Brockton Ne
longing to the company. The steamer VIII
be put into the dry-dock to-day and her damaged
hull will bc examined The vessels speed at the
time oi the accident was SAID TO nave Dceh
eighteen miles an hour.

Conversations with several passengers resulted
