BROOKLYN N. Y, December g.
Tho Brooklyn Eagle says: "The Proc
tor suit is at an end Yesterday the
defense made formal overtures to the
prose ecution for compromise and set
tlement, which, after consultation with
their client, the attorneys for Miss
Proctor concluded to entertain. The
matter came to a climax last night. 1t
was then agreed that at the opening of
the court this morning a proposition
should be made by ex-J Judge Fullerton
to have the case referred, which prop
osition Tracy K Co should, after some
argument, agree to, and that ex Dis
trict Attorney Benz amin F. Silman
should be selected as referee. It was
further stipulated that Miss Proctor
should come forward and testify that
Mr.. Moulton's allegations as to her IL
licit connection with the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher were 10 every respect
false. 1t was further stipulated that
Moulton himself should make affidavit
that he knows Of his knowledge moth
ing whatever against Miss Proctor's
character, and that the libel to which
ne gave utterance was based wholly
upon herasay. It was further stipu-
lated that Mouton should make an
apology to Miss Proctor, and that he
should pay all the costs on both sides,
thus far in the suit, amounting to over
1000; that, in consideration of the
foregoing, Miss Proctor would claim
no pecuniary damages against Moulton,
but would rest satisfied with the vindi-
cation of her character, and that the
referee should make report in couso-
nance with these conditions, and thus
end the great suit. These terms were
all agreed to by the parties, and this
afternoon the referee began"
At the conclusion of the proceedings
before the referee. the counsel on both
sides agreed upon 81 1875 as the amount
to be paid by Mr.. Moulton for the
costs and expenses incurred, whereup-
on all the parties parted satisfied.

The Epoch of Mysteries.

The Springfield (Mass) RepuJ lcan-
under the above heading treats of tlr
revival of late of pyschologic mysre
ries' spirltual nifestations. medi-
ums, ETC., and says:
The strange table-tipping demon
strations that made marked sensatiop
in Henry Ward Beecher's church.
three years ago are recalled to mind
at this time. The matter was not wide
ly bruited at the time, though it grew
to be common talk 10 the cities.
There were then four young womes
engaged every Sunday in reporting
Mr.. Beecher for the New York press,
seated at small table before the plat
form. Suddenly, one morning, as ths
preacher was well under way. the table
lurched one way, then another, and
then rocked back and forth with much
force. The next Sunday the motiou
began during the playing of the volun-
tary, and was especially demonstratiye
during prayer as it continued to Lass
until the table had to be removed
During the time the thing lasted, the
antics of the table were prefaced by
sort Of throb and pulsation, which the
reporters gradually learned to under
stand, SO that they knew when Mr.
Beecher was approaching a remarka-
bly, fine thing oy the emotion of this
centric piece of furniture. 1t would
vary its rocking by sometimes rising a
foot or two from the floor and bang,
ing the platform It's manifestations
were always, evidently, of admiration
and applause of Mr.. Beecher's good
points, and sometimes the tables en-
thuslasm seemed to know no bounds.
OF course, when the table was in ac-
ton, the young women, pe:force, wrote
on hymn books in their laps It was
at Mr. Beecher's instance that they
kept the table after the first of these
evidences Of fattering interest from
the spirit world. 1t was in the first
burden and heat of his trouble that
these things occurred, and they seemed
to be in sympathy with him. The Ia
BILE used to be particularly lively in the
hymn, Head of the church triumph
ant " There were other strange do
ings In the same period, in the house
of one of The women; clothes sailing
from one room to another through clos
ed doors etc. There were one or two
experiments made at formal " circles
in the lecture room, but these failed.

The Transit of Venus.

LONDON, lO.-The following dis
patch has been received from Professor
Davidson, the chief astronomer of the
American expedition to Nagasaki. Japan
NAGAsAKI. December During
our observations Of the transit of Ve-
nus, to-day, the weather was unusually
cloudy and unpromising. The time at
which it was calculated the transit
would begin passed away without our
being enabled to record the exact mo-
ment of the first contact with trust
worthy results. After about quarter
of an hour ,and before Venus reached
the stage of her second contact, the OBJ
server at the equatorial caught glimpse
of the sun and the planet, and was
quite successful IN taking several meas
urements OF the planets cusps during
the interval between the first and sec
ond contacts, The time at which the
latter contact occurred was obtained
with success and recorded. Shortly
after the second contact, further meas
urements of the distance between We
Us aud the suns western edge were
made with the mlcrOmeter. In all
there were taken $50 micrometic
measurements OF the line between the
cusps. Besides these thirty-one MI
crometc observations were made of the
passage of both edges of the sun across
the meridian Of the station, and SINH
lar views OF the right and left rims Of
Venus In crossing the same line.
Eighteen mlcrometc surveys were
made of the respective decliuations OF
the sun and the planet. by observing
both the upper and lower while pass
ing the Meridian. About sixty excellent
photographs of the transit, during va
rious periods of its occurrence, were
taken. Extreme good fortune attended
the astronomers, for just as Venus de.
parted from the sun the clouds began
to gather, and threatened rain. To-
wards the close of November we were
enabled to telegraph the difference of
longitude to Vladivostok, so that the
location of the position here is def,
initely determined.
