WHAT Mr.. BRRCHER's BROTHER SAYS
ABOUT HIS LETTER TO Ms. HooKER.-Rev.
L. h. Beecher, in letter to the Elmira Gazette.
published yesterday, says in substance that his
letter to his sister, Mrs. Hooker, was aimed
simply to caution and dissuade her from a costly
act Of fanaticism. 1t was written without other
knowledge of the facts than such as she stated
and such as were sincerely believed by her. Tc
avoid controversy the truth of her allegations
was assumed. Since 1854 he has not had two
hours conversation with Henry Ward, and he
cannot recall at any time ever having had a
discussion with him on the subject of free-loye,
marriage, divorce, relation OF the sexes or
female suffrage. He disclaims, therefore, being
q competent witness as to his brothers. vie US on
such subjects. The divergencIes of views be-
tween himself and his brother, he thinks, are tc
his brothers credit and his own discredit his
brother being believer in the nobility OF
human nature, and himself believing that
human nature is bad; bis brother making haste
to go with every popular movement as with the
tide obeying Divine guidance, he thinking the
same device of adversary and cautioning all
against IL. OF Henry Ward Beecher's personal
truth, purity, honor and piety he never had for
moment doubt that was based upon anv
trustworthy information, and he gratefully puts
on record the statement that he knows of moth
ing whatever, past or present, that binders him
from giving to his brother the most implicit
contented and loving credence.

SUCCESSFUL NAVIGATION WITH MONSTER
TE-A Quiek Foydge Across TIE Long Lslagd
OF the New York Hera d says the second at
tempt OF Mr.. John F. Lacey to cross Long
Island Sound in row boat drawn by Q kite was
made on the 1st and proved successful. The
Kite was ten feet high by eight wide, and was
attached TO the forward part of the boat by q
strong cord, about six hundred feet OF which
was let out. The winds was blowing northwest
at about O'Clock p. m, when the start was
made from Seaside Park, MIR. Lacey being ac-
companied by Mr.. G. Booth, OF this city, who
held the rudder. The start was witnessed by a
large number Of people. The fresh breeZs car
ried the boat steadily out into the Sound, and in
a direction toward Port Jefferson, l.. 1. A sail
boat accompanied the kite-propeiled aiventu-
that the sailboat was left behind before the
Long Island shore was reached. When about
balf way across the Sound the wind hauled to
as well as before, and Port Jefferson hsrbor was
made in three hours and a quarter after
Leaving Seaside Park. The distance is
twenty two miles, and the boat drawn by the
kite reached the shore st least mile ahead
of the sailboat, which accompanied it..
Old Field Light was the point sailed for, AMI
1t was made exactly, and thus on the voyage
over about four points TO the windwerd were
made. Messrs Lacey and Booth landed at Port
Jefferson, and their novel craft created quite a
sensation among the hundreds who thronged to
the shore to meet them. As the success of the
experiment had been pronounced impossible,
the achievement WAS very gratifying, and de-
monstrsted that the theories OF would be philos-
ophers were all wide from the mark The kite
was covered with fine white cotton cloth, and
had tail of listing" 100 feet in length. Mr..
Lacey reported to the two local newspapers at
PoIt Jefferson, and remained all night at that
place, returning to Bridgeport on the steamer
Spitfre this morning, bringing the kite with
him. No other motive power than the kite was
used to draw the boat through the water, aad
there was not the least tendency to fall during
the entire trip over.
The success of this trip will prompt many
similar adventures, 1t is probable, and already
trips to Montauk and other points on the Long
Island coast are talked Of. Mr.. Lacey Is conn-
dent that he can guide boat nearly as closely
as If run by sails, and he is ready to undertake
still further excursions to demonstrate the feast
bility OF this method Of navigation.
