REV. DEWITT TALMAGE, after long
career, is drawing near life's close.
The brain which enabled its possessor
to entrance audiences for the past third
of century is wearing out and rapidly
becoming incapable of repair. The
doctor, 10 worldly parlsnce, has had hls
day. He has amused and instructed, II
not edited, millions during his time
and has amassed a fortune. He has
reaped pecuniary benefit from the pull
pit, the platform aud the sanctum. His
friends and admirers can have nought
to cay OF Kind providence which has
blessed him not only with riches but
length Of days. Beecher has long since
passed away and with the demise OF Tai
mage two great pulpit orators of oul
day will have been laid low. Both Of
ten used the sacred desk to discuss
subjects which should never have beer
tolerated in q church edifce. They
may have meant well, but that sucl
dIscourses edited any of their hearer
is extremely doubtful.

BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS.

Five men killed and several wound
