TALMAGE RESIGNS.

the Brooklyn Tabernacle, which was
recently burned for the third time,
! has written letter to the elders of
] the church, rendering his resigna-
{ tIVn. ''""''"T is copy of the
| letter:
BROOKLYN, y. y, November s, 1s9i.--
| The Session OF Brooklyn Tabernacle:
Dear Brethren-I hereby ask you to join
with me in a request to the Brooklyn
Preshytery that they dissolve the pasto-
raj relation now existing. The congre-
cation OF the Brooklyn Tabernacle have
built during my. pastorate three large
churches, which have been destroyed.
1t is not right that should call on them
to build fourth church during my
ministry.
| advise that you do one OF two things
either call new pastor under whose
| leadership church might be built. or
remain in organization until YOU can
| give certificates OF membership to our
| people, SO that they may, in the usual
/ form, join sister churches.
| AS for myself, 1 will, as Providence
may direct, either take another pastorate
or 20 into the general eyangelstic work
preaching the gospel to all people, with
out money and without price.
Thanking you Tor your eyer-increasing
kindness to me and mine, and hoping
| to be rcassociated with you in the heav-
! enly world, together with the multitude
with whom We have worshipped during
the last twenty-five years, | am yours in
the gospel,
Il. DE WITT TALMAGE.
The session met Talmage and
agreed to request the Brooklyn
Presbytery to dissolve the PASTORAL
relations now existing. This is a
practical acceptance of the resigna-
ton.
DR.. Talmage will in the future
devote himself entirely to evangel-
ical work. For year at least he
will make pastoral visits through
the country, starting early in Janu-
ary. The manager of his business
affairs said: "Dr. Talmage believes
he is called upon to preach the gos
pei, and not to plan how interest
on big church debt can be raised
and how impatient creditors may be
appeased."

Hunting wild With Tam. Turkeys.

"Tamc turkeys can be trained to hunt
wild ones,n said Major A. s.. Willis.
"I owned one called Dick down in Polk
county. Tenn. that obtained a state repu-
tation. was offered 800 for him at ono
time, but then thought he was a phe-
nomenal bird. Since his death, however,
have discovered that the talent for hunt
ing wild turkeys Is not uncommon among
tame ones. The call Of the wild fowl diff
fers from that OF the domestic one, but the
latter can easily learn the formers calls II
the hunter Is patient enough to teach
him. The tame turkey can be taught
20 that he can be taken to the
woods and will then send forth the chai-
lenge call. IL turkey cock Is within
hearing, an answering note OF defiance Is
invariably made. This is replied to, and
finally the wild turkey will come very
cautiously until he sees the tame one, as
he il n suspicious creature. But when he
sees the turkey his fears are gone, and he
starts at once to do battle. Then the
trained turkey runs, and the hunter
shoots.
"rhe advantages of this method OF
hunting are very great. While hunter
can initiate a turkey call very closely
there is an accompaniment made by strik-
ing the ground with the wings which can
not be reproduced, and without this the
game il suspicious. Tho hunting turkey
must be taken IN hand when very young
and constantly drilled, but beyond the
patience required very little skill need to
exist upor. the part Of the trainer. st.

A Mean and Cruel sport.

BY far the meahest, most cruel and most
demoralizing forms Of sport tolerated by
the law are those which consist in tho
shooting, hunting or batting OF certain so
called "wild" animals, which are not pur-
sued or killed in true state OF nature,
but are first captured and confined in some
cage or inclosure in order that they may
be afterward turned out and worried for
the amusement of the assembled sports

Pigeon shooting, together with all kinds
OF trap shooting, is a well known example
of this debasing class of pastime, and as

Not Inquisitive.

Charles Godfrey Leland declares that he
hates inauisitiveness with hatred only
equal to that which he reserves for gossip
aud adds that he largely owes his faculty
for minding his own affairs to an incident
OF his youth. At that timeN - met a naval
officer whom he greatly admired as model
of good manners and 4 man Of the world.
One day Leland repeated to him bit OF
gossip, which the other at ONE cut short,
saving that he never listened to such talk.
The remark made profound impression,
and one which time only confirmed and
strengthened.
George Boxer the poet, was one VINO
studied men "a il they were books, and he
one day entered Lelands room at Prince
ton and laid down by him on the table
paper or picture with its back uppermost.
Leland took no notice of it, and after a
time Boxer asked:
"Why don't you look at that picture'"
"If you wanted me to sec it, was the
reply, "you would have turned 1t face
up"
