New YORK, July 17.-If the stories that ar,
current to-day be true, the crisis in the
Beecher-Tilton investigation is near at hand
Mr.. Beecher was invited to appear before his
committee at the house Of Augustus Storrs
last evening and communicate whatever he
had to say for himself. He was expected to
make a statement explanatory or defensive.
He did not appear. but in his stead came a
note. 1t is understood that the note stated
that Nh. Beecher had not completed his writ.
ten Testimony. There are good reasons foI
believing that Mr.. Bcecher had finished an
elaborate statement in which he admitted
having interfered in Mr.. Tilton's family at.
fairs, but, singularly, a description of the
nature Of the interference was omitted.
Whatever it was, it brought a protest from
Mr.. Tilton. Mr.. Beecher became convinced
that his conduct was unwarrantable. and
hence wrote the letter in which he humbled
himself 80 completely before the man whom
he had wronged. When this statement was
completed, he handed it to some friends, with
the remark that it was a paper he intended to
lay before the Investigating Committee.
His friends read it, and advised him not to
submit it. because Tilton's statement would
knock it to pieces.
THE STATEMENT OF THEODORE TILToN.
Mr.. Tilton appeared before the Beecher
Investigating Committee on the evening Of
July 90, and read a sworn statement in sub
sanitation of the indefinite charges he had
made against Mr.. Beecher. He declared that
Mr.. Beecher, in the year 1868, deliberately
seduced his wife, Elizabeth Il. Tilton, and
maintained criminal relations with her for the
period Of some two years, until the act was
discovered by Tilton and confessed by Mrs.
Tilton and afterward by Beecher himself ;
that Mr.. Tilton, to shield his own family,
condoned the %offense, and absented
himself from Plymouth Church; that
Mr.. Beecher wrote q letter to be
shown to Tilton expressing the utmost ap-
prehension that he CTiiton) would not keep
the secret, and revealing q state Of utter
on his " part, saying that the effort
to maintain an outward appearance Of serenity
accusations were multiplying against
him, was destroying his life, and that death
would be tho most welcome of friends to him
hat nevertheless Beecher allowed Tilton to

lar, and q dog, causing him to be loaded

THE DREAM.


Conrad, the Emperor of GERMANY.
was remarkable for his unsparing pun
ishment of all who crossed his purpose.
A quaint but true legend recites that q
certain Count Lupold, who was one of
them, fearing death, fled into a remote,
forest and lived in a hut with his wife.
1t happened that the Emperor, while
hunting, came to the spot, and passed
the night with them. That night the.
Counts wife became the mother of a
son, and the Emperor dreamt that the,
child then born would be his heir. As
the same dream occurred thrice, he was.
greatly troubled, and the next morning
he commanded two of his servants to.
kill the child. They took it away
but, being moved to compassion by its
smiles, they placed it under a tree, and
brought back a hare's heart to the En-
peror.
A certain Duke, passing by soon
after, found the child, and took it home
to his wife and adopted it as his own.
Afterward, the Emperor, being with
this Duke and hearing him relate as a
forest adventure the history of this.
boy who ives then present, began to
suspect that the victim had escaped.
Being confirmed in this opinion, he
took him into his service as a page, and
then sent him with a letter to the En-
press, in which he charged her, under
pain of his displeasure, to have the
bearer put to death. The youth set
out, and, after having travelled seven
days, came to a certain priests house,
who received him with great hospitality.
This priest was struck by his comedy
air, and by his travelling SO far. While
he slept he looked at his letter and
discovered the horrible fate that awaited
him SO, erasing the writing, he sub
stituted for it these words: "This is
the youth whom 1 have chosen for the
husband OF our daughter. 1 charge you
to give her to him quickly"
Next morning thelad awoke refreshed,
and said, "Adieu, dear host"
The priest replied, Remember me
when you are Emperor"
The boy only laughed, esteeming it a
joke; and departed. On arriving at
Aix-la-C hapelle, he delivered his letter.
and SO well did the stratagem succeed,
that when the Emperor wrote, soon af-
ter, to ask if his orders had been obeved,
the Empress assured him that the nup-
tails had been celebrated with great &C.
lerity, as he had desired. The Emperor
hardly believed his eyes when he read
her letter. Mounting his horse he rode
off Immediately, and with great speed,
to Aix-la-C hapelle. On his arrival, the
Empress presented their daughter and
son-in-law. For a long time the En-
peror seemed lost in establishment, and
uncertain what to do. At length nature
prevailed, and he exclaimed, "The will
heaven cannot be resisted"
Then he compelled the two squiresto
reveal what they had done, and the
Count to com from the Black Forest,
and receive back his son, with peace
from the Emperor, who lett him his
heir, and who succe eded him as Henry
II. On the spot in the forest where the
child was born was erected afterward
the noble monastery of Hirschau.
