B s o w i a o w - S e n a t o r Brownlow of Tennes-see has written a characteristic letter to Oen. Hill, formerly of the relel army, defending bhe 'air i.ame of Gen.

Stanton, George H. Thomas, Prof. Mahan. of West Point, ex-Senator Preston King, of New York. aud the late Senator Lane, of Kansas, to a retribution of God, because in tbe late olvil war they opposed tbe effort to destroy the Government of the United States. I bava noticed that you and others, who have as-asiled Canby and Thomas since their death, never insinuated a charge reflecting upon tbeir personal characters while they were living. To make accusations against a man after bis Utath which you oared not make while be was living, would indicate to un-predju'heed unuds that you are faisiilers o r cowards.

DFSEBVED CBIBCTB TO A BUOOKITST MAS.

The Christian Cnton has an extensive aud well-deserved editorial tribute to Mr. Henry W. Sage, tbe munificent patron of the Sage College for Women, now in course of erection at Iihaoa. We make an extract or t w o :

In what spirit Mr. Sage does this noble act is amply shown in bis speech, which w e publish tn lull from hisown manuscript, upon another page o f this paper. I t isa speech which proves Incidentally that commercial pursuits need not narrow tbe intelect nor harden tbe heart. He tuirly matches his dollars with his ideas; and tbe oloetng sentence of bis spneco de-serves to be written in gold upon tbe wall of the college which bis generosity rears: •* If woman t e true to herself, if man be true to woman, and both be true to God, there oua-ht to be, ftom tbe work inaugurated here this day, an outflow which shall bless and elevate all ( * * * * * * *

T'pon tbe whole it may be said that at tbe laying o l tbe corner-stone of tbe Sage Cot-it gc for Women, at Cornell University, all tbe bappy influences presided. Nothing could be finer than the raeiry and glowing little speeches with which. President White intro-duced the several speakers, and welded to-gether tbe component p a n s of tbe service; while tbe serene and sacred moral purpose of the whole found its utteranoe in the verse, written by herself, which Mrs. Henry W. Sago

f taceiul ly spoke in pcrtoiialng the part which ad been assigned her: " 1 lay this corner-stone in faith

'1 nut structure, fair and good. Shall from it rise, and thenceforth come

True Christain Womanhood."

Tbe Bxamintr and Chronicle describes Dr. Scudder:

Dr. Henry V. Scudder has been pastor of the Central Congregational society for two years. Tbe element o t seusa'iou and novelty has worn off, and the congregation has settled down upon a regular working basis. During tbe two yeais a large place of worship bas •a en erected of the hippodrome order, wim e x t i a lots for chapel and parsamage, costing about (120,000. On this property tbe debr has bawn reduced to (50.000. The -uiitin* revenue from pew rents, after all expenses have been paid, amounts to (5,000. A system of weekly contributions by envelopes hu3 been adopted yielding a revenue ot (8,500 a year. An addition was made to tbe pastor's salary of (2,000. bringing It u p to (3,000, besides a donation of (1.500 and a parsonage. Dr. Scudaer is to be absent during July and August . Following tbe fashion of tbe day, the cnuieti has sent to England lor a supply. Tbrougo the aid of Kev. Mr. Taylor, of tb» Tabernacle, a supply bas beenootained in the person of Kev. Mr. Far-oon. of Manchester, England. He is to have (i,0U0 for tbe two mouths' supply, and his ex-penses paid.

Dr. Scudder has many popular traits. He has a tree ana easy style , in very decided con-trast with tbe theological cut of Audnver and Pi motion. He dresses like an expressmau; his I urn-down collar, loose cravat, tuoiblcd-tip hair, brusque manner, smack ot the Corn Ex-chuuge or tbe Produoo Market rather tnan of the stiK.y, He is quick and sharp und abrupt, and goes to bis preaching as It it was business. He has a sreatdeal of Illustration, at times ia very flowei >, and all this mingled with some coarseni ss.with expressions that would be con-sidered rude. He bus ebaugtd his style very ini,on within a year, complaints being made that be was not refined enough nor delicate enough for a city audience. In one of bis notices given from the pulpit, he said, "I want j o u all to tome to the picnic. Tom, Dick, and Harry, andeverybody.uml baveaarool t ime." On the whole, his paotorate would bo pro-nounced a succoss.

AN SMWXNT WiOI.MR StTHDAT-SCnoOL M4N. The Sunday .School Flntes publishes In full

the recent address of Mr. Feuntam J. Hart-ley, Secretary of the London Sunday-school L'niou, wbo Is travelling in this o mntry. Mr. Hartley spoke in Brooklyn on the Sunday-school Anniversary day. In his speech in New York, Mr. Hartley sidd:

T w o things bad struck him forcibly in c ira-tng amongst us. First, the waruitn of our c l imate; second, the warmih of our welcome. The first was depressing, but be should bopo soon to be acclimateo, and to overcome it. The second wa* exhilarating, and he hoped to be stimulated by it. He was quite sure that he was as n.uen please 1 as his good friend. Dr. Vincent, could be, that bo had been tbo happy man appoiuted by his commutee to come to Aiuenivj. although tbey could have chosen a better representative in Mr. Groser, one ot the best Sunday-sobaol men in his country, but his will was not to corneal the present time. His committee bad felt that tbey w e i c under obligations to tbo Suodny-aehool friends in America. They had sent over to them a tvar i . au times Some of lltetr very best men. He was it young man I lauuhi, r] ; yes. comparatively a young man 1 but he could remember when we bad sent to them Mr. Packard, since gone to his reward, who stn red them with the accounts ho gave of American Sunoay-scbools. Then oaino your good Dr. lodd.wbo still further impressed us with the greatness ot your work. Every tiling was good here, h« bud said. Even your thun-der and lightning far surpassed ours. Afterbim we bad Dr. Tyng. who oooflrmed all that tbe others bud -aid, and further excited our wonder ami admiration. Then we had the vanity to a s * America to so ld dele-gates 10 our National Sunday-sobool Conven-tion, that we might show them how great i hlmrs we had done and were doing. You sent us Woodruff he-second visit, however, as he had been with us before, and we Itked him so well as to ask him again* And at the same time eame Dr. Vincent, and they represented America well, you may bosure. And Dr. Vin-cent has rectntiv again vl*ited us, until at fast w e have been shamed into returning tbe courtesy, for we are unwilling that y e u should be always making the ad-vances. Well, you mint know that I have a wife I W h e n ! talked to her a good detil about going to America, she said, " Well— if y o u are going, you had hotter go at o n c e r tor I shall now be always expecting to lose you, and you bad better go and get (t overt"

I am here, therefore, to bring vou the great ings of our London Sunday-.school Onion. Our w m t r t a H Is, as Dr. Vinceut has said, a hard-woi kaig, busy set of men, wb > Bod time. in tbe midst of tne pressure ot daily labors, to QO a little tor tbe Master and the young. They have sent me to g ive to you whatever good we may have in our work in England, and to get t i o m ycu what we may learn, in return, that we may reproduce it, it poasiolc, amongst oursclve*.

A II lOll CA1.V1.N1STIC CBUBCB. The fourprndent has the fol lowing: Dr. Van Dvke, of Brooklyn, Is not only a

High t'alvintst, but a High ChurcDinan, as tbe following extract (r m a speech of lo-in the General Asseu.bly tbe other day will show:

• I believe that tbe Church of Jesus Cbris t -andlbtit isslmo.-t synonymoti with the Presbv terinn Church, in my mum- If sbe wishes to rise to her duty and do her work in the future, mu et shake herself entirely free trom all sus-picion of identifying with any human govern-ment en tbe fa i e of the earth."

In the minds of some of our readers there will be some question as to whether there may not lie a few Christians outside tne Preibv-terianChurih. What the Diet or says about law absolute separation of Church and State will be generally accepted. Hm does b,s not know thai tot preaching just this doctrine the Iwte j * -wife nt has been charged with "rational-ism uud infidelity ?"

srCKl.UT AT BOSTOS. At the recent anniveisary of the Fried-

man's Aid Society, held at Boston, the Rev. Mr. Buckley, of this city, was one of the speakers. ZIon's Herald, In on editorial, thus speaks of the effort of Brooklyn's Methodist orator:

Much interest was manifested to h< ar Rev. J. M. Buckley, ot Brooklyn. His ringm* voice, his ready wit. his laughing and pier-cing eye, his exttaonlinary commanl ot every*titng that he bas ever seen or heard, or read, and certain happy speeches which be has bireto iore made in this vicinity, have awak-ened tbe liveliest cuiiosity to listen to blm, either on the platform or in the pulpit. He iose at quarter before nine P. M„ when the subject and the audience were apparently equally exhausted, and held them awake (I otb subject and people! until balf past nine. This would b e a small result m New Vork.out was significant he ie . the speaker spread him-self over the whole theme,and with argument, facts, and personal observations, all poured forth with fervid eloquence, and Illuminated with constant scintillations of humor, pressed upon the audience the claim of the coiored man, and tbe duty of his northern brethren.

rNSTAIXATIOH. The Presbytery ot Long Island met in Sag

Hart or last Tuesday, at * P. M.. in more than usual numbers, for ihe purpose of receiving and installing the Kev. A. W. Sprouli pastor of tne Fust Church. The exercises of the instal-lation took place in the evening, when tne bouse, wnwh had been tastefully adorned tor ihe occasion, was well filled by an intelligent and appreciative congregation. The Rev. W. Gut tine Barnes, of Brooklyn, preached the se imon; tbe rooeerator, the Rev. R. D. Gard-ner, of Easthamptoo, proposed the constitu-tional questions, prayed, and pronounced tbe pastoral relation rormed. Tbe Rev. W B , P . Strickland. D. D., ot Bridgebampton delivered tbe charge to tbe pastor ; and Rev. Ephcr Wbitaker, of Soutbold the charge to tbe people. The choir closed rhe services with an anthem of great aporopriatene*. which was delightfully and effectively ren-dered.

The new pastor, after the benedlctfon, was forthwith surrounded by bis people, w b o gave blm a cordial welcome, and manifest'd great delight in tbe good Providence which had given tbem so worthy a pastor. Douotlrss bis sett lenient here makes a substantial addi-t ion t o the Intelligence and culture of the vil-lage, and we may suppose that the First Church has cntc ied upon a new an ge of pros-perity.

1 JXKF.D BT A COW.

The Rev. C. H. Fowler, of Evanston. III., in a recent sermon stated that be "would a , leave have a cow lick him as to be ordained, so far as it would help him any in r r inning unre-pentant sinners to grace." Mr. Fowler i s right in all cases where repentance in the minis-terial heart has not preceded either ordination or cow-tlckang.

LABCB FVFFS. The Catholic R n k i c bas recently rtoelved

additional Catholic indorsement of Its great value to Catholicity In the shape of letters commendatory and flattering to the editorial soul from Cardinal Culleo, Archbishop of Dublm. and from Archbishop McCloskey.

mace an earnest address on tbe importance of the Southern work, and paid a merited tribute to the late Rev. L. A.Grimes. He thought it wonderful, the opportunities there bad been in the past, nnd how tbe work was opening up. They should gi*q tnemrclves for the work, and go forth along the plateau of liberty, the standaid-bearers in that denomination, which bad been ihe exponent of liberty in tbe past, and wbicb, God helping them, should continue to be so in the future.

MEMORIAL SERVICES. mJ

Closing Ceremonies of Decora-tion Day in the Academy

of Music.

Addresses by Gen. Philip iS. Crooke, Rev. Dr.

Hall, Prof. Sprague, and Rev. Father

Malone.

Memorial services in honor of the Union dead were held in tbe Academy of Music last eight, being tbe elosing ceremonies of Decora-tion day. The house was not more than balf fill ed, and the gathering was largely composed of tbe co xrades of the Grand Army of tbe Re-public

An overture by the Marine band opened tbe exercise*. Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Emory J. Haynes, of the Hanson Place M. E. Cburen.

Keller's American hymn, " Our Braves," was rendered In beautiful style by a select chorus frern various Brooklyn societies, led by Mr. Beadle. General Philip 8. Crooke, who presided as chairman, made some

XNTBODUCTO&T REMARKS.

He ssid : This day, by the will of the people and by public authority, had been set apart for the wise and pious purpose or decorating the graves of our lost and buried soldiers. Soldiers from either section of tbe country, now that they have fought their battles, sit down together In amicability. Whatever tbe losses of the war have been, at least we know it has developed the manhood of the country. Whatever has been the cost, the sorrow and tbe trouble, every man, I be-lieve, in both sections, now believes that tbe character establisLed In the country was worth the sacrifice. This occasion is not an entirely mournful one, w e may well be proud of oer-tain facte. The history of this war has never been written, and never will be, Tbe history o t this war must comprise tbe history of every man, woman, and child, in the country, as it was a war of the^reople. of Indlvlduils. We, the contempo-raries, eacb know something about it wbicb no tody elFe knows, which no historian ever will know. It bas developed tbe fact that a free people acting as we bave acted, todL vidually needs np standing army. We have g iven the evidence to the world that w e need no standing army. As long as the people sre united, they are tbe army which will rise up whenever occasion calls.

Gtn , Crooke then introduced tbe Rev Dr. Hall, of tbe Holy Trinity.

RXV, r>a. C H A B L I S n. it \t t. sa id : A n impression of mine is that the grand duty of Decoration day shall be the linking of men's hearts together that have been divi-d( o in the past. Our duty is not only to hang jar landsot flowers around the graves of tbo dead.t.iit HIMI the garlands of Christian fe l low-ship. As we look back and remember the teachings of secession, as we turn back and sc" how unt aitbt ill we were to our glorious Government, let us pardon the prejudices and condone the errors. Let us, as we adorn these graves, remember that the sin was shared In common. Let u s pardon the errors of those whom we have vanquished, f Applause.] We have seen tbe scene and we have learned tbo lesson. To-day the American nation bas put her band to tbe fact that, wtthout regard to party or sectarianism, this Decoration day Is a < ay ol the cation. Our Fourth of July t ells us of the accomplished fact that men had broken from the bondage of the past, and now there was needed this day to 'each us subdued and chasto thoughts. In all the days of the future this day IS to bo to us a boon, telling posterity that henceforth there shall b o n o disunion, that this flag is destined to float tri-umpbaufly from sea to sea, and that we are ready to sbed our n;ood to defe d it . While we forgive what has been done against the country, let us shake hands with them over the graves, and seal the solemn contract that this day shall teach us union forever. JAp-I lause.1

At the clo«e of Dr. Hall's address the band played " The t'nion Forever."

PROP. IIOMKK B. SPRAOCK, of the Adelpht Academy, was then introduced anddel ivtred the oration of theeveutng . H e said; The last eight years have witnessod the rise of this new anniversary. Decoration day Is sacred to tbo memory of those who tn the late rebellion died that we might l ive. As we perform these solemn ceremonies there oomej upen us freshening memories of tbe war. Wbo can describe the darkness that followed i be first great battle, how frantically the great republic determined not to piny with tbe monster Re-in lliou any longer. The long marches, the blistered feet, the sheltorless nights, wet and cold, the blazing camp-fires, sweet songs of love and home, tbe sullen roar of conflict, the Tiiamc battle-do>r and shuttlecock between ihundering batteries, the innumerable rattle ot musketry, the resi*tless charge, the cry of victory, the hot pursuit, and all the pomp and ciictimsfnnces of .war, the Iron monsters of ibe sea, Sherman's grand msrch, the gradual closing of tbettcrv circle, the resistless eon-tmctinir ot '.the aoaoonoian cods that crushed the lite out of the rebellion. All these striking icenes and events come thronging upon us to-day, and amoogal l these the Empire State ac»s a conspicuous part. [Applause.] Right gal-lantly tbe N e w York boys bore tbo stars and stripes. Wherever tbe lightning glared tbe iteiccst, wherever tbe hissing bullets fell thickest, there were the boys from the Empire State, W e bave sought to do honor to thei* memory to-day, but others he burled where they fell, In unknown, forgotten graves. No, they arc net forwetten; our hearts are with tbem to-day. To the angels we leave them, and to Him who knows each spot where they lie. vy ith unavailing grief, and yet not w i t i -out triumphant joy, we deck the cenotaphs of the fallen to-dav. Others tiled in tho hos-pital, t.000 of them sleep in Cypress Hills This is a seve ier teat of courage and cfaracter than to die at tho cannon's mouth. Others, alas! died in Conf tderate prisons. I shall not at this itme harass your feelings by calling attention to their sufferings, but I woutd say that thousands of our soldiers who wore iu Confederate pusons bad tho opporlunity of saving their lives by joining the Con-federate armv ; but they preferred to die, than to fight against tbeir country. l A o -plause.J Tens of thousands of our feltow-eoldiers died in Confederate prisons. Impar-tial historians, ail mankind, bave a rlgbt to know how tbey died, that toey may properly tstimate their heroism. We are asked to for-give and forget. Wo will forgive, as we hope to be forgiven. Would to God w e could forget. I shall not forget. Vengeance to God belongs; but when I think of all their wrongs, m y bloed ts iiquid flame. The foul-est felon, his soul black with sacrilege, his bands recking and red with innocent blood, has ford and shelter, and a bed to die on. What mdst have been tbe patriotism of thousands of our Union soldiers, wbo de-liberately chose sueh a doom to betraying their country's flagl This Decoration day assures ut that we will not forget tbe sur-vivors, maimed, sick, and broken down. This Decoration day assures us that we will not let them tack tor food and s'lelter. This day appeals for tbe soldier's orphan, they need as-s*-taiice. they need education, liut uot consola-tion. For tbe sake of the brtve men whose names tbey bear give tbem a cheering word but not without a helping hand. This day tt acb, s us that there are some things more s. c u d than human l ire; men die, countries live on. It teaches us that wc arc a nation and not a league, an 1 that this I'nion Is indis-soluble, impressively does this day remind us of tba sacvodness of human rights, that the humblest mau, because he is a man, bas rights with tba highest. It reminds us. too, by terrible example, of the danger of tampering with wrong, ot sacrificing fundamental liberties. Admon-ished by our memories of the dead, by ibe sorrows of the living, let us, as far as it is possible, live in peace with Ml men,

" Blessed Forever," quartette and chorus from Spobr's "Last Judgment," was t h e n sung by Miss Clementine Lasar, soprano; Mr. F. L. Ballon, basso; Mrs. S. E. Wiswell, alto ; Dr. J. F. Atwood, tenor. It evoked muoh ap-plause.

A poem written for the occasion; by Hon. Alex. M. W. Ball, of New Jersey, was read by Comtade Jus. L. Parley, as follows :
