Suspension during Trial.

The suspension of the President dur
ing his t.ial on the impeachment
charges, is question of the first i'm
portance, and it is being discussed in
many quarters with a gravity becoming
its Importance.
AS there are grave objections to it,
and as it can hardly be Of any adyant-
age in securing a fair trial and impair
tial justice to the accused, We trust it
will not be attempted.
We know it is urged that it would
be unsafe to leave the administration of
the government in the Presidents
hands willis he was practically under
arrest and undergoing trial, but we do
not think there need be any apprehen-
sion on that score. However strong
his disposition might be to,do some evil
deed that might produce serious
trouble, he would not thus prejudice
his case while the trial was in progress.
He is too shrewd to do so foolish a
thing. With Congress in session, he
could and would be so closely watched
that he could hardly do anything that
would endanger the peace of the coun-
try, even if he were 50 disposed.
Then again if the question is intro
duced those upon whom the great re-
sponsibility ty'rests, would almost certain
ly be divided on it, aud it is of the first
Importance that entire unity aud bar
mony should prevail in all their pro-
eeedings.
While there are arguments on both
sides of The question, we do not see
that the public good or safety demands
his suspension.-Biads.

An Outrageous Practice.

How purchasers Of poultry are swind-
led.-Buyers Of turkeys and chickens
in the markets are often surprised at the
enormous quantity of corn and wheat
with which the crops of the birds are
found disteHded, and as no healthy bird
will, of its own free will, swallow such
a mass of food, people often wonder
how it gets there. The explanation, as
given to us by a commission dealer,
who evidently knows the tricks of
the trade, is as follows: The fowls
are subject to species of torture such
as used to be practised by the old In
QUESTION, before being Killed. The
operator takes the victim between his
knees, holds open the bill with one
hand, aud with the other Grams in
the wheat or corn until the mouth and
throat are filed and then forces it down
into the crop with stick. Th;sis done
just as long as the crop will receive
grain more without bursting-and the
operator does not always stop at the
right point, aud actually bursts open
the membrane by his cruel and bar
barous torture. 1t is not uncommon
to find a full quart of cofn or wheat
this cFamned into a turkeys crop and
palrned ON to purchasers at twenty,
twenty-five or thirty cents pound,
when it cost but one ald a half or Two
cents. This is not only a gross swindle
on the purchaser but is a piece Of cru
city to the fowls, against which every
purchaser should protest. 1t is easy
enough to distinguish fowls which have
been subjected to this barbaroas stuff
ing process, aud reject them, thus leay-
ing perpetrators Of such outrages to suf-
fer loss, which is spall enough pun
ishment for such an offence Chicago

A strong effort was made by the bull:
to put up the price of gold on the
strength of the impeachment excite
ment, but their success was not great.
They did get it up few cents, but it
wouldn't stay up, and as soon as the
canards were found out to be only sen,
sational and speculative stories, and the
true state of the case was understood,
down it went.
Capitalists understand that the strong
er the probability Of the PTesident's
removal, the stronger will be the
prbabihty that gold will take a big
tumble. There would soon be an end
of the feverish excitement Of the past
two years; there would be stop to the
enormous stealing, and consequent
reduction of taxes on honest men, and
as a consequence of this and the quiet
and settled condition of the country, all
kinds of government paper, including
greenbacks of course, would rapidly
in value. 1t will be rough
on the gold gamblers, but pleasant for
the country.

felt sure that Beechef'S Church would
not be crowded, but as l crossed Fulton
Ferry to the Brooklyn side, was con-
vinced that weather had nothing to do
with Beecher's audiences. A respecta-
bic procession of strangers was already
winding its way to the church, although
it was more than an hour too early, and
when service began there was not an
available standing place in the i'm
mense church unoccupied. Folding
seats are arranged for the aisles both be
low and in the galleries, and when the
congregation is seated, the church is
completely filled. Of course, l can say
nothing of Beecher. His sermon was
on the trial of Abraham's faith by the
sacrifice of Isaac, and was full of the
sentiment of religion as all his sermons
are. | noticed, what | never had heard
mentioned, that large proportion of
the strangers, at least one half were
ladies. The church is really immense,
too large for one voice to fill, but it is
admirably arranged. A capacious gal
lery extends around the entire church,
the choir and great organ, the largest
and best in the United States with the
single exception of the famous Boston
organ, being Immediately back of the
pulpit. In contrast with the other city
churches, Beechers seems exceedingly
plain, but there, The church is not the
attraction.
AT the Academy of Design, nearly
all the works which represented Amer
Iican Art at the Paris Exosition, have
been on exhibition for several weeks.
Among them, are Huntington's Mrs.
Washington's Reception, or the Repub-
lican Court, the finest national picture
yet executed by an American artist; ;
Church's Niagara and Bierstadt's Mount
Hood. Wards bronze statue of the
Indian Hunter and his Dog, a fine
bronze Napoleon, and several Of Rogers
elegant statuettes, such as One more
Shot, The wounded Scout and Taking
the Oath, are also in the collection.
Lovers of art have enjoyed rich treat
during the Winter Exhibition, which is
the first ever given, l believe.
The chief attraction at the Central
Park now, is the skating. Every day
the street cars carry the little flags
which indicate that the skating is good,
and thousands flock to the ice to enjoy
the sport. On one day it was esti-
mated that 1000 people were out to
skate or see the skaters. And almost
everybody skates. On the day Wis
tied the Park, old gray headed men,
men with one leg, men of leisure, stu
dents, business men, ladies in the most
elegant and costly costumes, and kitch-
en- girls in calico gowns, were all on the
ice together. Little ragged news boys
with their 25 cent cast-iron skates cut
pigeon-wiDgs by the side of rich mems
sons, and nobody had word to say.
Once on skates, they were on level.
Many ofthe skaters were beginners and
unskilIful, but the wonderful move
ments of the others revealed all tho
poetry of motion. There is nothing
mortals can do SO much like flying as
skating, and some of the skaters did
seem almost to fly, so swiftly ard easily
they made their way over the ice. l
noticed, however, that the best skaters
were not the swiltest, and maGy of the
most graceful and accomplished were
ladies. ft. Wilcox.

With wings of starry gold.

And took its lofty flight,
Well pleased 10 leave its darksome cell
For fairer realms of light.

Have crushed within my hand,

Beyond the reach of man.

prised the members by stating that he
had just received from the Superinten-
