THAT MIsoHIEvoUs. YOUNG BROTHER

The moral to the following told by the sufferer
is too apparent to mention, Young ladies will
hereafter run their brothers out when gentlemen
call:
I'm certain wished somebody would spank the
young rascal. We talked of hills, mountains,
valleys and cataracts Il believe said waterfalls
when the boy spoke up and said
why sisters got trunk full OF them up stairs
pa says they are made of horse-hair.'
The revelation struck terror to me, and bushes
into the cheeks of my fair companion.
1t began to be very apparent to me that Unjust be
very guarded in what l said, lest the boy might
slip in his remarks at uncaled for places in fact
turned my conversation to him, and told him he

cried Emily, "leave quickr'
II know what you want me to leave the room

well taken care of by Mr.. Clafin and Mr. Beecher
was well taken care of by me- but he had been left
outin the cold,with the money due fromBowen uu-
paid. Icombatted this fancy kindly, and tried to
soothe him and hold him to the arrangement he
had made, but he flew out wild and decla i'd with
the utmost passion he would never.while he lived,
sign paper tfatwould disable him from pursue
ing Henry Ward Beecher, and he demanded a COPY
of his paragraph in the triparte agreement that he
might alter it. wrote copy for him, and he sat
down at the table and began to scratch and inter
line it; but he rose up and carried his work away
nncompleted. Before he left gathered from
whahe said that Bowen had refused to nav the full
amount OF his claim, and that his law suit would
lave 10 go ON but the full amount was paid in a
day or two thereafter, and the triparte agreement
was executed, not the one drafted, and which
was accepted by all parties. but a modification of
that. used my last copy of that instrument in
my testimony before the committe, and can now
ouly say that all portions of the agreement which
are italicised were omitted from the agreement
finally executed. The efficacy of the covenants
aimed at was lost, and the compact defeated.
Tilton, in modifying his photographic, backed out
of his disavowal of his imputations on Mr. Beech
er, and his admission that they were untrue, and
carefully ed to himself the largest liberty to
pursue the great preacher forever with inund0es.
My testimony before the committe shows the
change in the triparte agreement as originally
drawn, and which all parties to it had heartily
approved and promised to sign it. 1t also shows
my earnest reinsurance against permitting these
changes to be made, and my warnings of the
mischievious consequences that would inevitably
follow The following are the omitted portions of
the original agreement:
I, Henry G. Bowen, know nothing derogatory to
Mr.. Beecher's reputation as Clergyman, or man.
and expressly dsavow the charges, imputatio0s
and inundoes imputed to have been made by me
and sci forth in letter written by Theodore fill
ton, on the first day of January, 1871, copy of
which letter is annexed hereto and declare
thut those charges, 1mputations and inundoes are
without any foundation in fact 20 the best of my
knowledge and belief
/, Theodore 4 iton. returning of my own free
will to man whom have revered and loved as a
father, thus renew and confirm my faith in Henry
Ward Beecher as grand, good and generous man.

tanned, and ally and all other imputations ON his
character and conduct which have been said TO
come from me, disavow and covenant never to

vestigatiDg Committee assembled at the
house of August A, Storrs, a member Of

o'clock this evening, to hear the charges
OF Mr.. Tilton against Mr.. Beecher. Mr.
Tilton was here promptly on time and all
the Committee were present. Mr.. Ellen
wood, who has been stenograpber for
Plomouth Church for twenty years, was
there to record the proceedings. The
session continued without interruption
until midnight, and was wholly occupied
| by the hearing of Mr.. Tilton's statement.
Admission, even to the hallway, was re-
| fused to the representatives of the press
and the strictest secresy was observed
throughout. The only reply vouchsafed
to the many notes sent in to the different
members of the committee was simply
'.No." Messengers came and went at short
intervals, and carly 10 the evening gen
tleman connected with a prominent law
linn entered the house and was with the
committee tor some time. At midnight
Mr.. TiltOn issued from the house. La re-
spouse to questions, he said that the SEES
sion was over. He could not say whether
h of oh l. II hat
~ it was not answerable.' He added that
it had been decided not to publish any
thing regarding the proceedings to-mor-
row. He then drove away in a carriage
with Frank Moulton, wh1 had come for
him short time before. Soon after the
committee separated. Some of them were
asked what they had to say in reply toMr
Tllton's assertion that his statement was
unanswerable. They responded that they
had decided not to speak. The investi
cation was not closed. The testimony OF
two witnesses remain to be taken. This
may refer to Beecher and Morton, OF
Beecher and Mrs. Woodruff, the latter
Of whom is now on her way here from the
West. The committee have said thai
they would not ask her to testify, but il
she volunteered to make statement they
would receive it.
Beecher will be heard in day or two
Tilton looked confident when he drove
away; indeed, he seemed almost eated
The committee appeared troubled ant
discomftted. Some believe that Tilton's
statement was much more powerful th Al
had been supposed.
