Dr. Talmagei thie well-known American preacher, is m England " starring it," as the theatricals say.' He obtains £100 a night, so says his "agent," m reply to a request from a small town anxious to hear the Brooklyn sensationalist. He writes :. — "I have upwards of 1000 letters, all wanting Dr. Talmage to lecture to them. Some contain fabulous offers. Now there is but one way of getting the doctor. If your Society can afford to pay what larger places offer I may be able to drop out a larger place and give yoiv a date m July. The lowest terms I care to take arb £100. I knqw it is a big price, but Dr. Talmage is a big man." An Adequate Reason. — An old bachelor said he once fell m love with a yoUng lady, but abandoned all -idea of. marrying her when he found that she and all her family were opposed to it.
