PLYMOUTH,S FREE FIGHT.

Three Millions Worth OF Damage 20
Character tn BroOklyn-Bowen Re
solved 10 Get Satisfaction-Every body
Suing Everybody for LibeI-Beccher's
Array OF Counsel and Moneyed Friends.
New York (oct. " Cor. Chicago Timeal
1t is asserted that Henry @. Bowen
intends to bring suit against the Ma
ton for implying. in respect to the al
legged contract between him and Jay
Cooke & Co., that he is hypocrite and
rascal. Though this is the ostensibls
reason, il is believed Bowen is smarting
under the severe criticism Of the Ma
ton concerning his part in the Beecher-
Tilton case, and is seeking legal salts
faction for those criticisms. Bowen is
one of the angriest men in town, and
has been in wrathful mood for three
months. He asserts that he has been
foully slandered by everybody, but that
he will be righted, if it takes every
dollar of his fortune. He now has no
less than six libel suits on hand or in
prospect, all growing out of the
Plymouth church trouble.
Tilton is to be plaintiff in seven libel
suits; and Moulton plaintiff in four,
and defendant in three. Frank Car
penter has taken steps to prosecute four
newspapers. Oliver Johnson and
Samuel WIlkeson are arranging suits for
libel, it is said and Victoria Woodruff,
not to be out of fashion, is threatening
to get redress for her wounded reputa-
tion in the courts.
If all the suits menaced are instituted,
the combined damages will amount to
three million dollars.
Beecher will have the ablest counsel
in the country in his suit against Tilton.
1t is thought VIM. Nj. Evarts, Charles
OConor, and Edwin Fl. Stoughton will
be secured.
1t is understood that Horace Il.
Clatiin, Henry w. Sage, Charles Storrs,
and other wealthy members of Plymouth
church have assured Beecher that he
can have any amount of means to con-
duct the suit. The Plymouth members
feel that the conviction of their clergy
man will destroy their religious organ
ization, and they are resolved to stand
by him to the last.
Tilton's and Moulton's friends de.
clare that the Plymouth pastor and
church are determined to attempt to
ruin these men in public estimation, in
order to prevent their destroying
Beecher.
Tilton and Moulton are daily receiv-
ing offers of assistance in money from
all parts of the country.
The suit between Beecher and Tilton
will be a deadly duel between ortho.
doxy and reason-between conservatism
and radicalism-andm must be one of the
most famous of the age or country. Its
vast proportions have not yet begun tC
develop, the plan of procedure being
carefully kept secret, as is that of Til
ton against Beecher.

Life Not Essential to Muscular Motion.

DR.. Brown-Sequard, in q recent lee
ture, said that muscular motion by no
means indicated life. He referred to
well-known cases of snakes, tortoises,
and other lower forms of animals, NOV
ing on the slightest stimulus several
days after decapitation. He says he
has seen the iris of an eye contract on
exposure to strong light, sixteen days
after death. He had also witnessed
pulsations in the heart Of dog forty
eight hours after it's removal from the
body, and in the human heart thirty
six hours after decapitation. An arm
fourteen hours afteramputation was in
jected with fresh blood, when it imme-
diately contracted and extended the
muscles, giving every sign of life. The
doctor startled his audience by recount
ing the case of patient of his in New
Orleans, who died of the cholera, and
whose arms, for long time after the
vital spark had Enthusiastically fled, con-
tinued to rise and clasp the hands as II
in prayer, falling and rising in sort OF
rhythmic beat. 1t must be a great con-
ISOLATION to people who have disinterred
the bodies of their friends, and found
that their position had changed since
burial, to know that such phenomenon
does not indicate living interment.

An INCEssANT WANT. One of th

An INCEssANT WANT. One of the in
cessant wants of man is air. We want
air mainly to nourish us and keep us
cool. The quantity of air inhaled by
an adult in twenty-four hours amounts
on an average to about three hundred
cubic feet, or two thousand gallons.
What we take in and give out during
twenty-four hours in the shape of solid
and liquid food occupies on an average
the space of five and half pints, which
is equal to one three-hundredth of the
volume of airpassing through our lungs.
1t will astonish you to hear, perhaps
for the first time, that this amounts to
seven hundred and thirty thousand gal
ons in one year, and to be reminded of
that continuous work which goes on day
and night-a never-ceasing bellows
blowing-by which the organ of our
life is kept in play. OF course, the
quantity of air flowing around the sur
face of the human body is greater than
that. Do not object that air is some
times SO light that it need not be taken
into account. 1t has some weight
water certainly is seven hundred and
seventy times heavier, but cur daily two
thousand gallons have for all that a
weight of twenty-five pounds avoirdu-
pois.
