TIL TON AND FULTON.

On Sunday morning Rev. j. d. Fulton
preached sermon in fremont Temple on
Temperance, at the close of which he read
the article of Theodore Tilton charging him
with drinking lager beer. He also read the
proceedings at a meeting Of friends and mem
bers of his church, at which it was resolved
to commence a libel suit against Mr.. Tilton.
The speaker said he wrote to New York, and
there met Rev Drs ID. l.. Taylor, Theodore
Tyler and James b. Simmons. On Saturday
morning they all visited Mr.. Tilton and asked
him to allow them TO have an interview with
the merchant alluded to in the article pub
lshed. Mr. Tilton declined to send for the
gentleman, but went with Mr.. Fulton to the
office of the New York Independent, where
he was introduced to the party, whom he
recognized as fellew student and a Snowman
who had exhibited section of Californian
tree at the Crystal Palace. To Mr.. Fulton's
inquiry as to whether he stated he had gone
with him and drank beer as stated in the ar
ticle in Mr.. Tilton's paper, he said he had
not mentioned the number of glasses. Mr.
Fulton than asked him if he did not know

University that his temperance principles
were so strong that he took another student
who was very incorporate, to room with hin

mitage to show that he had never preached
there but once, and that one Sunday after his
return from Europe. two years ago, wher
two members of his church from Boston were
with him. he said he would not allow it.
Mr.. Fulton then charged him with being 8
false witness against an old college friend,
and said he should decline to have his friends
prosecute libel suit under such circumstan-
ces. At subsequent interview between
Messrs. Fulton and Tilton in the presence OF
Drs. Taylor and Simmods, Mr.. Tilton refused
to retract what he had published, when Mr.
Fulton stated that he should leave the matter
with his church to do as they saw best. Hav-
ing made his statement he left the matter witt

The latest arrival from South America being
the intelligence of a terrible Coolie insurrec-
ton in Peru. On the night of the 4th inst.
the coolies employed on the estate of Pativilca
so miles north of Lima, became aware of the
arrival there of large sum of money. They
rose in a body and took possession of the
silver, numbering all the whites on the plan
tation. They then proceeded to the neigh
boring estates, inducing all the coolies to join
them, and continued their work of murder
and destruction. Their number was finally
augmented to over a thousand, and they at
tempted to take and sack the village of Bar
ranca. The inhabitants, however, had re-
ceived timely ADVICE Of their movements, and
had time to throw up temporary breast-works
from behind which they made vigorous de-
Tense. The Chinamen unprepared for re-
sistance, were driven off, scattering in all
directions. BY the 9th of Sept, troops ar
rived from Lima, but the Chinese had already
fled in small attachments to the mountains.
About thirty whites were killed in all, and
over 200 Coolies.
Other accounts mention that the towns of
Barranca and Supe were also thrown into
great const ernation. Five haciendas are
mentioned in the valley of Pativilca as hay
ing suffered, and the town of Pativilca itself
is said to have been pillaged and ravaged.
Horrible atrocities to women and children are
related; and il is said that all who were I'M
able to escape by fight were butchered. The
entire number in revolt has been stated at
| 900; those killed, mole than one hundred;
taken prisoners, 800; not yet captured, 800
Another report makes the total number in
instruction comprise 900; but this is prob
ably owing to the mistake of including in the
estimate the other haciendas in the valley of
Pativlca to which the instruction did not
spread.
1t is affirmed that investigation shave since
established that the laborers among whom the
frightful affair originated were allowed the
use of opium; that wherever the use OF
opium was not permitted the coolies refused
to join the instruction. 1t is however, be-
lieved that bad treatment may have had much
to do with arousing the passions of this I'M
fortunate class of laborers, and the Peruvian
authorities are urged to give the circumstan-
ces of the coolies preceding the outbreak
careful investigation.

DRY EARTH SYSTEM!
For the Sewage of Towns, Factories,
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses.

A MPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth
N System to be more efficient IN preventing foul
smells and far less costly in construction and re-
pairs than the Water Closet System; and that it is
in all respects entirely satisfactory, whether for the
SICK Room or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun-
try every benefit possessed by the Water Closet at
far less cost, with the additional advantages that 1t
is portable, and be moved to the bedside i'll the
sckroom.
1t promises more in immunity from offensive
odors from infection in disease and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are selfcontained, and movable pail takes
the place of the vault
For use in Bed Rooms, Hospital Wards, Intirm-
aries &c, the Commode is invaluable. 1t is entire
IN free from those faint, depressing odors, common
to portable cder closets and night stools and through
its admission of the greatest mseries of human
life the foul smells OF the sick room, and one OF the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.

received with wonder the reports in the New
York papers of your remarks to your Boston
congregation yesterday on the issues pending
between you and me. These reports, assum-
ing them to be correct, compel me to say in
point blank English that stand ready to
prove, first; that you did 60 into lager beer
saloon and drink larger beer after preaching,
and second that the narrative of our inter-
view on Saturday last with my informant and
myself is as false as your denial of the origi-
nal charge. Having threatened me with a
libel you now announce the withdrawal of the
suit. This is because you dare not go for

The Tribune remarks upon this phase of
the matter in an editorial as follows: "When
Rev. j. ID. Fulton next breaches a sermon on
the Christian law of libel he should take for
his text Let not him that putteth on his armor
boast as he that taketh it off, Mr.. Fulton
was very anxious TO enter upon libel suit,
but he does not evince SO hearty an anxiety
as we should be glad to chronicle for its prose
cution. Mr. Tilton on the contrary seems to
thrive en- being sued and promises to prove
all he has said and begs that the suit may be
brought to speedy trial. Fulton should
either have entered upon it more modestly or
continued it more bravely. AS it stands sim
pie minded people suspect that he quits be-
cause he thinks it safer than going on"

AMERICAN SLATE.


The North American and United State.
Gazette of Philadelphia calls the attention
Of the people of that city to the trade IL
slate. in an article which is OF interest 10
our owners and workers of slate quarrles
in this State, and which we therefore copy
If it is important for Philadelphia to LOOK
after the trade in this article 1t IS lmpor-
tant for us that our mines shail DC oe-
yeloped and thoroughly worked, so that
they may become source OF wealth ana
industry TO the State The Gazette says :
1--WE are informed that considerable
trade is done in the expectation OF Amer
lean slate to foreign countries, and that
the demand has increased largely, so as to
make the business worthy of more atten-
ton. The great uses of slate are for root
ing purposes, for mantels marbelized in
imitation styles, and for common states to
write upon. If we were simply to regard
the last item, and take into the account the
enormous increase of educational facilities
in Europe and America, we should at once
understand how slate happens to be so
much in demand. But the use of slate in
common business affairs is almost univer-
sal. Every house painter, plumber, rooier'
or iobbing mechanic keeps slate to re-
ceiye messages. So does every physician
Thousands of retail shops keep their daily
sales on states. With the increasing
scarcity of shingles the use of slate for
roofing is becoming more widely extended,
especially since the Mansard roof came in
to fashion, and our architects turned their
attention to fancy roofs for steeples and
turrets. The insurance companies foster
the use of slate for roofs naturally
enough.
The foreign demand is caused chiefly
by the fact that in most countries OF
Europe wood has long since been exhaust
ed and shingles are inaccessible; but also
by the immense market for states TO write
upon in school or in business. The uses
and needs are common all over the civil,
lied world, and hence the trade is mani
testify bound to attain far greater proper
tons than at present. The great produc-
ing regions for slate are Pennsylvania,
Vermont and Maine, and the quarries OF
most interest to us are, of course, within
the borders of our own commonwealth.
Considerable capital and enterprise have
been directed to their development, and
the quarries in the valley of Delaware
have become quite celebrated. As yet,
however, this trade has not engaged a
sufficient amount of attention in Philadel-
phia, Notwithstanding that it offers to us
the means of developing large Increase
both in our .jobbing business and in our
foreign commerce. 1t is important that
we should not neglect it, as other cities
devote much attention to it. New York
especially is quite eager in her attentions
to slate quarries, and we perceive that
Wilmington, Delaware, is striving to
reach the great slate deposits at Peach
Bottom, by building the Wilmington and
Western Railroad to the Susquehanna."

summer Rev. Mr.. -----, the new minister
of East Town. found himself IN tho carrioge
with an elderly man whom he had never be,
fore met. They rode in grave silence for a
few moments, when the clergyman eudeav-
ored to improve the occasion by serious con-
versation.
..This is a solemn duty in which we are
engaged, my friend, said he, ,5i5i
"lIey! what do you say, sirg the old
man returned s'Can't you speak louder?

The Deacon used to get dredful riled bout

The,young minister looked blank at the
unexpected turn given to his remark. but
quickly recovering himself, nd.raising his
voice to the highest pitch, he resumed the
conversation.
"Our friend has done with all the dscom-
forts of earth" he said, solemuly. "a small

at that moment that the smell of new~made

the hand, "what an emblem of the brevify of
