between Mrs. T. and Beecher It has always
been mystery how the Woodruff became aware
of it. It III supposed now that Hiss Anthony
told the story in her circio, and that eventualyit
reached the Woodruff family. They used it then
to blackmal Tilton and Beecher, compelling
both OF those persons to say and do many things
that were humiliatins. Tilton. to save his wife,
and Beecher tosayo himself, submitted to count

| There in altonether too much Ead OF the harm
the Bcecher case is likely to cause to Christiani-
ty. BeecAer has profeased himself Christian.
Hc has profeseod to teach Christianity. Whether
Christ however, would recognize lis teachings
in the philosophy Of Beechcr has sometimes
been questioned by tho orthodox. Certainly
there has sometimes been more Of Eeccher than
Of Christ in the sermons delivered in Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn. Most people vert to Ply
mouth Church as they would go to theatre. not
es they so to temple Of the Most High. They
went oftener to liston to Beechors orac!es, not
TO tho oracles OF God. Beocncr's downfall may,
| therefore, be the downfall of Plymouth Church,
| just Us the death Of great actor may bo
| the end OF place of amusement. The unTel-
ing Of his hypocrisy il he is guilty, can hurt no
one'a Christianity but the Christianity OF those
whose religion is Beechcrism. To what sorry
condition, iu this nineteenth century, is Chris
tianity reduced if the full of one maa shake
it. Bocchers fall does not argue tho weakness
or tho shaowness Of Christianity It proves
the depth Of Deecher's hypocrisy, and it proves
btI1s
timo, an immoral man; If he has been eeducer
and an adulterer, he LAS in fact not been
Christian. 1Ir. Beecher may have invented q
new literature, aud called it Christianity. It
WAS not philosophy, for it lacked method. and
substance. end tangbi!ity, which no real philoso-
ply does. It WAS not science. 1t enunciated no
undoubtcd truth-no truth which by tho
tests Of science could be verified It was
not religion, for it drew no MIN nearer
to- God than he could hayo been drawn by
methods in use before Bcecher WAS born. His
discou1ses did not have the merit OF the old |
fashioned orthodoxy. They did not have tho !
merits, nor embody the results, of the re-
searches of men who have broken loose from |
orthodoxy. They are not brimful Of faith. |
They do not tend to make men accept the !
Inspiration Of the Scriptures or the doctrine Of |
J Justification or Of the Atonenent. But neither
DO they consist OF critical examination. Tho
Christ Of Boccher's sermons is not the Christ
Of orthodoxy, neither is He the Christ of mod
,rn Rationalism- He presents us no such
august Divine figure as John, no such admirable |
character as that OF Keim or the author Of
3cce Homo. His Christ ls the Christ of
3eecher, nothing more aud nothing less.
f tho cause OF such Christ euIors
rom Beecher's downfall, the world can stand it.
But Christianity cannot bo harmed By anything
,eccher may dc. Christianity is world
which no mans action can arrest, any
more than r bulrush csn dam up the waters OF

Until 1910, our importation OF opium did moi
exceed the proper medicinal demand for the
drug. We used in that year, about 2l,00C
pounds Of it. In 1870, we imported 154.841

In hot countries, opium and similar substances
are very generally used in place of alcoholic

the party which saved the nation, nor even

This kind of management lead last year to

the coming State election, and may end in a
national defeat in 1876 if persisted in.

again Acting wit. the Democracy.

Mr.. John W. Forney, of the Philadelphia
Press, is Boosting of the "bad emnence" of
having elected Buchanan President, and
"by the same TOKEN" declares his purpose
to elect Aleck Mcclure, the Democratic can
didate, Mayor of that city. Perhaps he,
with the aid of other soreheads, may do it.
If he does not, it won't be for the want of
will, for he is zealously cooperating with
the Copperheads to accomplish that purpose.
But he failed to defeat the Republican cam
didate for Governor of Pennsylvania in 1872,
with the assistance of this same Mcclure,
most ANONYMOUSLY. And he ma, as much
over-estmate his power now as he did then.
by his repeated efforts to defeat Republican
candidates, and his great clamor about indie
pendencc-the ''half-way house"-to the
enemy's camp Mr.. Forney is probably pre-
pairing to return to his first love. He left
the Democracy from disgust with Buchanan,
and his heart has always been with the
Democracy, though he undoubtedly honestly
condemned their war against the Union.
