Talmage Condemned.

The recent pulpit efforts of the Rev. De- Witt Talmage, the great Brooklyn sensa- tionalist, on the night side of city life in New York, are calling out tie condemna- tions of ceriain journals. The New York ‘* Herald” recently contained the following criticism, which if strictly impartial, would seem to leave the great preacher in an un- enviable position:—‘‘ It was to be hoped that when the Rev. Mr. Talmage left off reciting the immoral things he had seen in his midnight trip through New York and turned to give the world his views upon New York’s pauperism, we shonld have heard something of value, evenif a little luridly colored. It has been suspected that the holy man was ‘‘ guyed” by his guides, that, in fact they took a profane delight in giving him information of a kind not authen- tic. A correspondent, with scarcely par- donable anxiety for the good fame of this city, writes to us respecting Mr. Talmage’s statement that one hundred and seventy thousand families in New York sleep four- teen in one room on the bare floor or a heap of straw. Our correspondent thinks this is untrue. Itis. That makes no difference to Mr. Talmage. In 1875 there were in fall two hundred and thirteen thousand four hundred and sixty seven families in New York; there are a few more in 1878, in spite of the hard times. That two out of every three families in this city live in such squalor ought to be difficult for even Mr. Talmage to swallow, although his great capacity has been long unquestioned. That three persons out of every ten in New York live on charity will probably strike some- body else as doubtful, but we beg him not to write to us on the subject. It should be distinctly understood that we do not pro- pose to contradict all the innaccuracies of Mr. Talmage; it is bad enough to print them. He probably serves some purpose in the plan of an inscrutable providence. When he preaches on pauperism his facts may be as contorted as his wiving limbs ; his remedies may be as puerile as a _police- man’s ‘‘ theories,” but he at least dees not draw such pictures as are likely to stimu- late a desire on the part of the young mem- bers to try a little poverty on their own account. We could not say this when he was handling some other features of his journey in New York.

One of the most clever and amusing of Father Preui’s literary tours was his trans- lation of several of the ‘‘ Irish Melodies” into Latin verse and then with apparent seriousness, insinuating that {Moore had eribbed them. Moore took it gravely to heart, and when some of his friends made light of it, saying that anyone could see it was a joke, replied: ‘‘ That’s all very well for your London critics, but, let me tell you, my reputation for originality has been gravely impeached in the provincial news- papers on the strength of these very imi- tations.” This, of course, made it all the funnier for the literati and proved how ad- mirably Father Prout had done his work. *_-

Bees often inake long journeys in search of food. A bee-owner in the best, thinking that they perhaps visited the clover-field of friend forty miles away, sprinkled their backs with flour one morning as they left their hives, having previously requested the friend to watch for them. A telegram came from the latter during the day, say- ing, ‘‘Plenty of your white-jacket bees here.”

CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1878 NO. 454,

Pistu, Noy. 20.

A despatch to Prether Lloyds trom Ber- lin says that Russia is about to begin a dip- lomatic campaign with England ia relation to Afghanistan. Gen. Kautfman has handed his Government a memorandum pointing out how dangerous to the security of the southern frontiers of Turkistan it would be if the Khuber passes were permanently oc- cupied by British troops. Gen. Kauffman regards as groundless the British apprehen- sions of Russia threatening the northern frontier of India from Central Asia. This frontier is quite impregnable, while the British occupation of Southern Afghanistan would be a standing menace to Russian Turkistan. The St. Petersburg Cabinet, relying on this report, will ask serious guarantees from England that no changes be made in the territory or independent condition of Afghanistan.

Lonpon, Nov. 28.

The Times has the following from Berlin : ‘A St. Petersburg copepieenes of Vien- na, in semi-official political correspondence, says Russia has announced her intention of activity by supporting the Ameer in event of England occupying any position in Af- ghanistan from which Russian dominion in Asia might be effectually threatened. This annonneement is based upon the assertion that England has violated the alleged Af- ghanistan agreement of Lord Clarendon by the occupation of Quettah. The intention of Russia to interfere in Afghanistan is ap- parently confirmed by the Moscow Gazette, declaring that interference is indispensable —now that the occupation of Quettah has been succeeded by expeditions in the direc- tion of Candahar ad Herat.”

The Steadard’s correspondent with the Khurum column telegraphs, ‘‘ We will prob- ably attack Peiwar Pass on Saturday. Reconnoisance on Wednesday showed that Afghans who abandoned the Khurum pass were so far without success. They were endeavoring to mount cannon on the summit Peiwar. The British troops will conse- quently make a dash hoping to capture the cannon and pass. All the sick and weakly will remain in Khuraum Fort.

Bompay, Nov. 27.

The Times states that Khurum column will resume its advance on Friday, with provis- ions for six days.
