DR, TALMAGE ACQUITTED.
The Closing Scene—Amusing and
Impressive.
A Contemptuous Farewell Speech Fired at his
Judges by the Departing Defendant.
Shoemaker.—“Vat you hef me do mit dose shoe ?”

The Talmage trial was at last brought to a close
yesterday, but not until after candles had been
lighted and the presbyters were hungry for dinners
that had been kept two lioui-s and more waiting.
The reverend defendant and his wife entered the
court-room at the beginning of the session with
smiling faces, and such secular friends of Mr. Tal
mage as were able to pass the sturdy sentinel at
the lower door clustered around him. He was told
by those who have shrewdly forecast all the events
of this extraordinary trial that the last of the roll-
call would inevitably furnish some unpleasant re
sults, it beiug known that the elders, whose names
were yet to be called, were—being laymen—by a
large majority in favor of conviction. He was not,
however, his counsel whispered, to lose heart, for
the end was already assured, and though the vote
might be exceedingly close be was sure of an ac
quittal. This advice seemed a trifle superfluous, for
both Mr. and Mrs. Talmage looked confident and
happy. The former picked up a morning paper and
complacently crossing his legs began a quiet inspec
tion of the news of the day, and the latter seeking
the eyes of such of her husband’s judges as she has
become acquainted with during the trial greeted
them with smiles and bows.
Brother Babcock was the first elder whose name
was.called. He had been a member of the Prose
cuting Committee and his name was on Mr. Tal
ma ge's private list as sure to vote “Charges sustain
ed.” It was therefore a moment of genuine sur
prise when the elder announced that he should vote
the other way. Mr. Talmage at this unexpected
acquisition showed that he was not altogether ab
sorbed in the newspaper before him, for he prompt
ly sent a wink over the top of it straight at Major
Corwin, who winked back.
Then Brother Chamberlin arose. As he is an eld
er of Brother McClelland”s Church it was taken for
granted how he would vote. The brother seemed
to realize this fact himself, for he said promptly, “I
shall have to vote to sustain the charges,” and re
sumed his seat. Brother Van Dyke’s elder, Elder
Eaton, said substantially the same thing, at which
Mr. Talmage smiled audibly. Elder Hampton fol
lowed the example of his pastor, Brother Freeman,
and said that he should vote to acquit. Elder Haz
ard, who is an elder of Brother Crosby’s Church,
said that he had a family of boys to bring up, and
not desiring to teach them laxity of morals he must
vote to sustain the charges. Major Corwin struck
this name from the list he held in his hand without
a smile. It was evident that the voting was going
on in pretty exact accordance with the estimated
returns. Brother Laimbeer, being an elder of the
Moderator’s Church, voted not to sustain the charge,
as did Elder Pierson, who is an officer of the Taber
nacle. Elder McDougal, being one of Brother
Wills’s flock, sustained his pastor by voting against
Mr Talmage. Elder Morse, of Brother Cuyler’s
Church: Elder Sexton, of Brother Greene’sV hurch;
Elder Young, of Brother Foote’s Church; Elder
Thomas, of Brother McCullough's Church, and El
der Buckley, of Brother Nelson’s Church, did the
same thing. . . . ,
In spite of the warning she had previously receiv
ed Mrs Talmage’s lip quivered a little as this array
of votes fell coldly against her husband’s good
name but the Major had his paper and pencil ready
to prove that it was all going as they had expected
and that everything was right. Indeed matters
took a turn at this point. Brother Hathaway’s
name was called. Brother Hathaway was deeply
affected He found himself, he confessed, in a de
cidedly 'unique position, and he begged to be ex
cused from voting. He, however, had a good deal
in the way of personal explanation to do, and in the
performance oTthis duty he endeavored to r^ke it
apparent that he would vote for Mr. Talmage s ac
quittal if he felt at liberty to vote at all Frequent-
ip Spear, his counsel, for an explanation of this ^
proposition from the enemy. Brother Spear, how-
ly during his speech Brother Hathaway caught the
eye of Mr. Talmage, who beamed upon him, and at
each of these encounters tears welled up to his eyes
and lie was compelled for a moment to stop speak
ing. Had Mr. Talmage and Brother Hathaway
been early lovers meeting after a lapse of years
and the growth of some insurmountable*barrier, the
scene could not have been more tenderly impressive.
So warm and glowing was the atmosphere when
Brother Hathaway finally retired that ic was live
minutes before Brother Butler could bring himself
to arise in the attitude of an icicle of justice. He
at last, however, forced himself to say that bitter
as was the pain it caused him lie should he compell
ed to announce his intention of voting against—Mr.
Talmage.
Major Corwin with a little flourish of his pencil re
corded the final entry in his memoiandum, and
turning to a neighbor whispered, ‘Twenty-four to
twenty-one.’ The roll-call was at last ended, and
nothing apparently remained but to take the for
mal vote. Brother Butler wa--, however, still upon
his feet and it now appeared that though justice
was his motto, he was prepared to temper it with
mercy. ‘Why,’ said he, ‘should we take a vote at
all. We have all expressed our opinions; let ir go
at that and leave the record blank.’ At this propo
sition Mr. Talmage dropped liis newspaper in sur
prise aud his keen little eyes si,ught those of Broth-
'fcver, seemed a little dazed and at a loss how to
take it. At this juncture Brother Van Dyke, who
is not affected by scenes, strangely enough came
forward as the champion of the defendant. ‘You
can, if you please,’ he said in a chilling tone, ‘ac
cept that proposition, but if I were the defendant
you wouldn’t do it. Here he has already got a ma
jority and you suddenly decide not to vote,’ and
then with a little sneer the clear headed doctor
dropped back into his seat. Tt:e majority were
not slow in availing themselves of the hint. They
very quickly voted Brother Butler, who had with
out doubt made his protest out of sincere kindness
to Mr. Talmage, out of order, and loudly clamored
for a final vote. Brother Greene, tte clerk, then
arose and solemnly called the roll with the follow
ing result.
Charge not Sustained.—Brothers Baldwin, Bene
dict, Cailan, Davidson, Drake, Evans, Foote (at
Brother Foote’s unexpected vote there was rejoic
ing as over a sinner reclaimed), Freeman, Gilbert,
Hall, Halsey, Hastings, Meury, Neander, Rockwell,
St. John, A Taylor, Williamson, Wood, Peek, Bab
cock, Hamton, Laimbeer, Pierson and Neff—25.
Charge Sustained—Bridges, Butier, Gr. en ;,
Jones, Mc-Clelland, Nelson, Sherwood, C. H. Tay
lor, Van Dyke, Wells, Wolff, Bulkley, Chamber
lain, Eaton, Hazard, McDougal, Morse, Sexton,
Thomas and Young—20.
The Major’s memorandum would have been cor
rect but for the sudden aud unexpected conversion
of Brother Foote.
As soon as the vote was announced Brother Rock
well was on liis feet with a resolution, which, how
ever, the minority earnestly besought him not to
read. ‘Do not,’ they exclaimed in a bod} - , ‘let usdo
anything hast}-. Let us appoint a committee to
draft a suitable minute to be placed upon the re
cords.’ This was too much for Brother Spear, who
for four days had been obliged to keep quiet. ‘It
is an unwarrantable attenipr,’ he cried, ‘to rob the
verdict of its glory. I demand that a complete ex
culpation and indorsement of Mr. Talmage be given
at once.’
An acrimonious debate followed, at the conclu
sion of which Brother Rockwell's resolution was
adopted, as follows:
‘Resolved, That the charges against Dr. Talmage
be dismissed as unapproved and disproved, and that
the Presbytery express to Dr. Talmage its heart
felt confidence in him as a minister of Christ and
its earnest desire that he and his Church may share
abundantly in the divine blessing and that his min
istry may prove the source of rich spiritual influ
ences to his people and to the community among
whom he labors.’
‘Now,’ said the Major, nudging Mr. Talmage,
and instantly sprang to his feet. Brother Van
Dyke had, however, at the same moment risen at
the other side of the room. The two reverend gen
tlemen confronted one another, both desiring the
floor. The Moderator looked from one to the other
in some perplexity. ‘Perhaps, Dr. Talmage,’ said
lie, presently, ‘it will be well for you to wait until
Dr. Van Dyke gets through.’
‘Certainly,’ replied the Tabernacle pastor with a
grin.
“I sliant keep you waiting long.” said Brother
Van Dyke, with freezing politeness. And then
having the floor to himself lie proceeded to give
notice that certain eight members of the Presby
tery proposed at once to file a complaint with
the Synod of Long Island against the Presbytery
of Brooklyn for its conduct of the case just closed.
This complaint, the Doctor said, was based on a
good many grounds, among which were the intro
duction of General Howard’s affidavit, and the fact
that a witness whose sworn statement had been
privately persuaded by the Moderator to enter into
a covenant with the accused not to defend himself
at the expense of the accused. This complaint, it
subsequently appeared, was signed by Brothers
Van Dyke, Crosby, Eaton, Chamberlain, Thomas,
Morse, Green and Sherwood.
The Moderator was very red as he arose to say
the complaint contained a falsehood when it ac
cused him of having privately persuaded Brothers
Hathaway and Talmage to make up. “They did it
of their own accord,” he exclaimed.
“Well,” said Brother Van Dyke ironically, “I
was merely giving you credit for what I thought
you boasted of; I’ll strike your name out if you say
so.” The Moderator did insist, which seemed a
little strange, inasmuch as Brother Hathaway had
in his speech of an hour before told among other
things how the Moderator invited him home to sup
per and put it into his heart to make up with Mr.
Talmage.
“Haven’t you had enough of this matter?” said
Brother Laimbeer appealing to relentless Brother
Van Dyke.
“Enough of it in this Presbytery, yes,” grunted
the latter; “but enough of it before the Synod of
the General Assembly, no sir. No, never until
justice is done.”
All this time, however, Mr. Talmage was waiting
for an opportunity to be heard, and as soon as
Brother Van Dyke consented to sit down he popped
up.
He began his speech by complimenting the Mod
erator for his impartial rulings. Then he lavished
praise upon brother Spear, and a considerable
measure of it upon brother Millard. After this he
returned thanks to United States District-Attorney
Tenney, whose “great head and heart” had, he said,
been “a perpetual inspiration to him during the tri
a!.” Next he complimented and thanked 1he news
papers. “Now, brethren,” he continued, “I sup
pose you want to know how I feel toward brothers
Van Dyke and Crosby and Greene and Sherwood t
I feel *as though I would like to meet them all in
heaven, although I am not very anxious to meet
them the first two or three days. It is only through
the help of God that I have not lost my temper. 1
have bad no surprise in the final vote. Three news
paper gentlemen, before one word of evidence was
taken on this trial, gave me the names of those who
would finally vote against me, and they made but
one mistake, and that in the case of a clergyman
who came to my side. My only surprise was that,
after raking over my entire life for forty-seven
yeajs, they have been able to establish nothing
against me. I am not as good as that would seem
to make me out. I could have given my prosecu
tors material for fifty specifications against myself,
to all of which I would have pleaded guilty. 1 shall
go out of this trial with increased hatred for every
thing like sectarianism. Not only have I had
the sympthy of the entire Presbyterian Church—a
handful of this Presbytery excepted—but I had the
sympathy of the Methodist, the Baptist, the Con
gregational, the Reformed, the Episcopal, the Cath
olic churches. I never had any sectarianism in my
soul, but I have less now. Indeed, though I am a
Protestant, in one respect I prefer the Catholic
Church. They have only one Pope, while in our
Protestant denominations they havea hundred, and
I think at least one for each Presbytery and classis
and consocial ion. I believe in God the Father Al
mighty, maker of heaven and earth, and Jesus
Christ, and in f he Communion of Saints. Never
have I had such!opportunity of cultivating patience
as during these six weeks. A few summers ago I
lay downj ■ t'^r woods and got asleep. IVl eu I
woke up Ijpund a caterpillar 011 my foot, an ant
crawling > i r sleeve and spiders weaving their
webs acr /to ^ -lody—one web across my boot, one
across 11: ".fine across, my waist, one across my
ciii 117 oTI?5^Al.js uij nose, one across my forehead—■
just seven specifications! But I go; up and shook
myself aud took a good wash, and felt well. I call
you to witness that I have for six weeks lain quiet
ly, and allowed all sorts of spiders to craw] over
me, and said nothing, but I think it is about time
for me to get up and shake myself. I got no harm
from my experience in the woods. I expect to get
no harm from my experience in the Presbytery. I
pronounce my|b*PHediction upon all this body. 1
have no complaint to make. Til re lias been much
discussion as to whether my Church and its pastor
would leave the Presbyterian denomination on ac
count of the atrocity attempted upon me. I was
born in the Presbyterian Church, the Reformed
Church being one branch of the great Presbyterian
family. I shall go with my people wherever they
go. I believe in them as much as they believe in
me. A more highly educated and refined and con
secrated group of men and women are not to be
found on this planet. I hope for t'ie present they
will stay in this denomination. The power that
was the bane of this Presbytery is now broken and
there is going to be more room for free action.
The thumb-screws are going out of modern ecclesi-
asticism. There have things transpired in this
Presbytery that are no more Presbyterianism than
they are Soutji Sea cannibalism. More liberiy of
thought and deed hereafter in Brooklin Presbytery.
We cannot all work the same ways. Some of the
brethren have said they do not like my way of
preaching. I just as much dislike theirs. They do
not sanction mine. I could not endure theirs. It is
certain that as many people like mine as theirs.
My way of preaching is poor enough, but I know
theirs will never save the world. God seems to
have blessed my work as much as He has tli- irs;
but I will make a bargain with them, I will let them
have their way if they will let me have mine. Get
men into the kingdom of God. Who cares about
the way you get them in ! All our elaborate and
costly theological appi latus is a failure if we can
not catch souls. On this trial my methods have
been criticised because some of you do not under
stand what my theory of preaching is. When I go
into the pulpit I say: ‘ During this hour and a half
I am going to see how many oeople I can help, and
help right away.’ Brethren I preach the best I can.
You could not stand it to hear me preach, and I
would not for a salary of .*5,000 a year sit and hear
some of you preach. If you want me different you
will lia'-e to make me over agaiu, but if you do un
dertake the job of making me over again like unto
which of these Presbyters will you make me? Do
let me have a choice of models. This is certain:
I will hereafter be more intense in my way. I have
been stupid long enough in sermonizing. I am
hereafter going to be interesting, if such a thing is
possible. The brethren say I am orthodox and I
admit they are orthodox, but I give them notice
that I am hereafter going to be orthodox in a more
interesting way. No more humdrum for me. I
have learned this from the newspapers of the coun
try. Why do all the people read newspapers? Be
cause the newspapers are interesting. How are we
to get our churches thronged with worshippers?
By making our religious services interesting.
Hereafter count me out of the old way of doing
things. But I must adjourn most of what I have to
say to my own pulpit, where I feel more at home,
and can have larger audiences. Meanwhile I pray
for you and your families all happiness and pros
perity. I commend you to God and to the word of
his grace, which is able to build you up and give
you an inheritance among all them that are sancti
fied.”
Having finished this remarkable speech Mr. Tal
mage took up his hat and, pulling his wife’s hand
through his arm, strode out of the court room. In
vain brother Greene called upon him to come back
to listen to a personal explanation. Mr. Talmage
would not stop, and brother Greene told the Pres
bytery that Mr. Talmage had made an unwarrant
able use of his name.
“ Never mind,” said Dr. Van Dyke, “ the Synod
will have something to say. ”
And then in some confusion the Holy Court ad
journed.
Mrs. S. E. S., of Macon, Ga., says: “Is your novel
of ‘Twice Condemned’ really in book form, as I see
intimated in a notice in the Sunny South, taken
from a Florida paper? If so, X wish to secure a
copy at once.” It is not “out.” The intimation
was premature, the result of a mistake on the part
of the Florida Editor, or perhaps of Col. Hardee,
who kindly informed him ^concerning what he was
pleased to call our “works,” We are revising the
story in question as speedily as is possible with a
press of other writing constantly on hand, and
it will Iprobably be brought out by the Apple-
ton's In time for the Fall trade. Several publishers
have done us the honor of accepting any book we
might send. The trouble is, we never find time to
write any revise anything as carefully as it
should be done before it is given a dignified dress
of muslin aud gilt.
“Corinne” of Selma, Ala., says: “I have been do
ing very wrong I’m afraid; and 1 want to ask your
advice about the best way to repair it. My beset
ting sin, they say, is flirting, but I never mean to
flirt wickedly,—malice prepense. I engaged myself
to a man, some years my senior, and kind and true
111 character. I loved him, but J loved also to make
mm jealous, and angry, just for the fun of seeing
now soon I could bring him round again and make
him devoted as ever. 1 did this several times. I
would slight him in the presence of others and en
courage tlie attentions of some other admirer, then
he would be angry aud jealous a^-d I would tease
him awhile, then own I was to blame and beg his
forgiveness and we would “makeup.” Hut he al
ways entreated nie to let it be the last time, for lie
could not, bear with me always, and f really meant
to quit flirting, and try to be as good as he deserved.
Blit I did not keep my promise. 1 slighted him
pointedly one day last week and devoted myself to
entertaining a young fop lie particularly disliked.
He wrote, returning my letters and saying lie had
found that I was not the one he wished lor a wife.
I wrote back, begging him to come and see me but
lie has not done so. What shall I do? I love him
dearly; and I am very unhappy. I know I have
been to blame, but 1 wrote such a penitent letter;
lie might, have acceded to my request Don’t you
think lie is wrong to be so obdurate?” No, he lias
evidently been most forbearing, and your last dis
regard of his feelings has been the “feather that
broke the camel's back ” He could not retain liis
self respect and keep dancing attendance on the
caprices of a girl who wanted to show her power
and gratify her vanity by alternately throwing him
oil and “whistling him back” again. No manly
man would stand such conduct. If you really fove
him and have been taught a lesson at last, that you
will profit by, your only course would be to write
again—a calm, sensible, feeling letter and let him
know that you are deeply in earnest in your resolve
to quit trifling. Or you might get your mother or
some trustworthy friend to see him and try to effect
a reconciliation. Where one has been so much to
blame, one can afford to lay pride aside.
Davidson, of Richmond, Va., inquires: “Did r.ot
Daute write the Epic of Hnoes, that I hear a good
deal talked of now?” By no means. You are
tliinkingof the “Inferno” written by Dante the Ital
ian poet centuries ago. The Epic of Hades is a new
poem—whose author is Lewis Morris—a brother (or
son) of William Morris—the deceased song writer
and former partner of Mr. Willis, in the editorial
management of the Home Journal. The Epic of
Hades is a poetical rendering of llie classic myths,
love stories, historical romances and religious le
gends of the Greek.
Itoscoe, of Rome, Ga., wishes'to know* what is
meant by the Niliilsts. It is a secret society in
Russia, which has for its aim, emancipation from
autocratic rule, democratic fraternity and freedom
of speech and press. Small at lirst, the society has
gradually gained ground and is now headed by the
brainiest men of Russia, and has assumed such pro
portions as to terrify the existing government.
Russia is believed to be on the verge of a revolu
tion that will end in the overthrow of despotism.
Caro writing from Madison, Ga., asks: “What I
soil is best suited to ferns? Do ferns have seed?” |
Rotten wood and leaf loam mixed with gray sand, '
we should think would make a good soil for ferns. 1
Ferns have seeds under their leaves and these if |
planted will produce plants. Ni thing is prettier )
than a fernery.
Evelyn asks: “What would make a cheap and
pretty bridal dress?” White organdy, trimmed j
with delicate lace. All the heavy, unbecoming 1
gras grains invented to make marriages costly and
brides stiff-looking, cannot equal the graceful sim- |
pie folds of the Uiaphonous organdy, especially as a
summer bridal dress. White myrtle flowers would
suit best with such a dress. And then, the differ
ence in cost between that and the silk would buy
you a sewing machine; or a stove, or the future
baby a dainty carriage. One must look into the
future when preparing to take the matrimonial
step. *
“School Girl” wishes to know if it is not right to
get somebody else to write her commencement
composition, and says: “they all do it.” Then I
would be odd and singular from them, dear school
girl, for it is certainly “not right.” You are ex
pected by the public who go to hear jou, and by
your parents who have sent you to college that
you may learn composition, among other things,
to read something that you have written yourself.
It is a shame, discreditable to your teachers aud low-
eriug to your self-respect, when you read a produc
tion written for you by some one else. Let us have
your own thoughts expressed in your own way, no
matter if they are not so profound and logically ex
pressed as the big lawyer of your town or the
editor, or the “genius” of your family can make
them: we’ll be bound, they’ll be all the fresher und
more piquant if they are your own.
Mrs. Angus Compton, of Alexandria, La., asks:

Encyclopedia, plainly bound?” The cost of a
plainly but substantially bound edition of the en
cyclopedia is seventy-two dollars—four dollars per
volume.

M. L. Bullard, Palmetto, Ga., says: “I have a
question to ask that will settle a dispute. Where
are the Atlanta water-works located? My friend
says upon the Chattahoochee, and lather insists
they are on South river. Also, where does the
water empty, or where does it go when it leaves
Atlanta ?” Your father is right. The Atlanta water
works are upon South river, four miles from the
city. The waste water goes ofT through under
ground pipes into smad streams just outside the
city. Southjriver and Alcovy river unite and form
the Ocmulgee.

Socrates called beauty a short-lived tyranny ;
Plato, a privilege of nature ; Theophrastus, a silent
cheat ; Theocritus, a delightful prejudice; Carne-
ades, a solitary kingdom ; Dominitian said, that
nothing was more grateful ; Aristotle affirmed that
beauty was better than all the letters of recom
mendation in the world ; Homer, that ’twas a glo
rious gift of nature ; and Ovid, alluding to it,
calls it a favor bestowed by the gods.
