Formidable Array of Counsel in the
Beecher-Tilton Suits.

The New York Herald of October 4th,
saws the publication of the indictment
aoainst Tilton and Moulton has made
deep impression on the community. The
array of counsel in Tilton's case will be
unusually large, probably no such array
has been seen in any trial since the trial of
General Sickles for the murder of Key.
Senator Conkling haf accepted retainer
and will sum up the case. VIM. M. Evarts,
B. T. Tracey, John K. Porter, w. 0. Bart
lett, John Graham and T. s. Sherman will
assist Mr.. Conkling. The list Of Tilton's
counsel is said to be not complete.
Senator Carpenter of Wisconsin, Daniel
Dougherty of Philadelphia, and Dudley
Field arc mentioned. Moulton has secured
Judge Fullerton, although General Butler
will take the lead in the case and personally
appear. Mr.. Beach will most likely appear
also.
A motion will be made for change OF
venue, but this matter is in the discretion
of the Court. A motion will be made to
carry the case before the Supreme Court,
and an effort will be made to remove it to
Albany or Westchester. 1t is thought the
trial will take place in fortnight, and will
probably last for three or four weeks.
A rumor is in circulation traced to good
source, that President Grant has expressed
the strongest opinion in behalf of Beecher.
ard to the Presidents interest is attributed
Conkling's part in the case. 1t is believed
that Tilton will address the jury in his owl
behalf.

BIG TAILING FLUME.
How Silver su1phurets are Separated
From Tailings.

The big failing hume ON Carson River,
near the Woodworth mill, is now in success
full operation. It is 1,70o feet in length and
10 feet in width. 1t contains over $50, 900
feet of lumber, and it is claimed that it is
the largest fume of the kind in the world.
It doubtless is all that is claimed, as there
are but few places in the world where such
fumes are in use. 1t is divided into twelve
compartments, each 10 inches in width.
The bottom of each of these compartments
is covered with blankets of q particular
kind, manufactured expressly for this use.
It is among the threads and in the wool
staple of these strips of blanketlng that the
silver sulphurets are caught In the ma
.jority Of the fumes of this kind now in use
in the country it is a good deal of trouble
to secure the sulphurets after they are
caught in the blankets. The old plan of
doing this was to turn the water ont of the
compartments, take up the strips of blanket
ing, and, loading them upon wheelbarrow
or car, take them to a tank and wash them
out, when the precious suiphurets would
fall to the. bottom and so be saved.
more expeditiously. A deep and narrow
sluice runs by the side Of the fume and
into this the fIume is washed by sections Of
$50 feet. The blankets are washed Where
they lie in the compartments, and the
sulphurets obtained are then run out into
the side s1uice which carries them to where
they are to be dumped. In this way the
work of washing the blankets is cheaply
and speedily accomplished. All the tail
ings flowing down Gold Canon pass over
this big flulne A dam across the cafion
turns the tailings into large string of slui-
ces, which carries them across the country
to the fiune, situated about two miles
above Dayton. The blankets catch con-
siderable per cent. of the valuable material
contained in the tailings, but no matter
how many sluices they pass through they
still contain much gold and silver Tn this
way millions ON millions of dollars have
found their way into the Carson River and
thence into the sink or lake into which it
empties. Not only are gold and silver thus
lost in the river, but also tons on tons Of
quicksilver all the quicksilver brought to
the country is eventually lost, either in the
water or in the air, for none is ever carried

The Morning argus is Democratic pa
per; the other day the editor clipped from
a Republican sheet a long story about q
frightful accident somewhere, and gave it
to the foreman to put in the Argus. It so
happened that the other side of the clipping
contained snorting editorial in which the
Democratic party was iercely denounced
and Grants claim to third term strongly
insisted upon. OF course the foreman gave
the clipping out with that side up, and the
next day it appeared in the paper, looking
exactly as if it was an original editorial
from the pen of the editor, Col. Bangs.
That very afternoon the sheriff withdrew
his advertising and four hundred subscrib-
ers gave up their paper; and now Bangs

A MEMORABLE DESSERT.

We dincd A fish from the river beneath
A outlet, bird from the windy heath
Where we had wandered, happy and mute;
1t was silent day with us
In the early time it is often thus;
But my sweet love chartered, when came the fruit
Flavor of sunburnt nectarne,
And the light that danced thro wine glass thin,
Filled with juice of the grape of Rhine;
She talked and laTghed about this and that,
Easy exquisite, foolish chat,
While her pretty futtering hand sought mine.
And thought: Come glory or come distress,
In this wonderful weary wilderness
This hour is mine till the day of death:
The fruit, the wine, and my lady fair,
With flower of the heath in her dim brown hair,
And a sigh of love in her fragrant breath

Leslie Combs Kindness Not Forgotten
Lexington Gazette, Sept. 10.

Lexington Gazette, Sept. 19
In the year 1886 General Leslie Combs,
of this city, was coming down the Ohio
river in a steamboat, and made the acquaint-
ance of young man, a feliow-p passenger,
by the name Of George Lane, who in con
versation told the General that he was
coming West in hopes Of getting school
SO as to enable him to study law. Those
were the days of slow travel, and the boat
was several days reaching lIaysville, the
point at which passengers for the interior
of Kentucky left the. river. This gave the
passengers an opportunity of getting pretty
well acquainted with each other, and the
General took fancy to young Lane, and
invited him to come to Lexington and study
law in his Office, and that it should cost
him nothing. This he did, and remained
two years, the General giving him instrnc-
tions and advancing him money with which
to pay his board, and the young man writing
in the Office and making himself as useful
as he could After he had finished his
studies, he left for Mississippi, but as the
Texas fever was raging through the south
at that time, he emigrated to that State,
| and has been settled there ever since. He

ABOUT NAns.-Every farmer who has
occasion to drive nail into seasoned oak
posts knows its liability to bend and break.
If the point be moistened in the mouth, it
will usually drive more kindly. Oils bet
ter; but then it is inconvenient to dip each
nail separately into it. Another point is,
that boards become loose eventually from
the rrlsting of nails, which communicating
to the wood, causes not only an enlarge
ment OF the nail-hole, but the wearing away
OF the nail itself, rendering the fence or
building shaky or insecure. This may be
prevented by heating any rough grease un-
til it smokes, and then pouring it over the
nails to be used. The grease will penetrate
the pores of the iron, and cause the
nails to last without rusting for an
indefinite period. Besides this, no
linvu1Uy experienced IN ur1v-
ing them into the hardest wood. The rea-
son is, that the coating of grease prevents
contact by air, and consequently oxidation.
Oxygen is the great destroyer of iron, and
moisture is the inducing cause. Anything
which is kept from air is preserved indefi-
nitely, and if it is kept dry the effect is
measurably the same. Paint upon build
ings prevents the contact of air and mois-
ture. IF the whole fence cannot be painted,
the heads, at least, of the nails therein
should be touched.-NeaoarE Builders.

The Beecher-Proctor Trouble.

New York Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
The Monlton scandal has eliminated in
the arrest Of that gentleman upon civil
process, issued on behalf of Miss Edna
Dean Proctor, who has stupidity identified
herself with the most scurrilous portion of
Mr.. Beecher's mutual friends recent de-
nunciations of his PASTORS conduct Miss
Proctor is very well known around the
weekly newspaper offices, having been
q contributor of some very clever trifes,
when, perceiving good financial idea in
Beecher's popularity, she compiled species
of common place book containing fragment
ary reports of his sermons. The thing was
a success, and Beecher gave authority to
another lady to concoet, beneath his sane
tion, supplementary volume, whereby
Miss Proctor's sales were almost entirely
destroyed. This enraged the authoress,
and in her anger she INDUCED in harsh
things against the Plymouth pastor, but
was subsequently induced to retract her
expressions, and this declaration of renew
ed faith found its way into Moulton's
hands. The mutual friend, in his damag-
ing and indecent recital. of Beecher's S confes-
sion, has evidently jumbled up Miss Proc
tors recantation with some totally different
transaction, and has most unaccountably
put his foot into a bad job through paying
too much attention to other peoples busi-
ness. In retaining Mr.. Wm. NJ. Evarts,
Andy Johnson's defender, Beecher has done
much to re-establish lns shaken credit,
iilasInuch as the presence of this able and
conscientious man will warrant a decorous
and exhaustive trial of the case upon it's
merits, which have hitherto been lost sight
of amid literary complications. Above all
things, Mr.. Eyarts has little sympathy
with Brooklyn gossips, at least of all with
the faction belonging to Plymouth Church.

THINGS GENERALLY.
BY MAX ADELER.

I don't know exactly what to make of
that dispatch in the papers the other day
from Salt Lake City, which sald
"The church organ ON Wednesday even
ing savagely attacked Ann Eliza Young,
and respectable Gentiles are very indignant
at the course pursued by it,"
Now on the face of things don't it seem
a little uncommon that that organ should
deliberately climb down out of the gallery,
slide through the graveyard, and frisk
down the street after Ann Eliza and then
proceed to hammer her? 1t is the only
musical instrument that ever heard of that
possesses such powers. I want to know
now how it assailed her. Did 1T blow her
up with it's bellows, or did it fall on her?
And further isn't it interesting to inquire
if this kind of thing is likely to become
common? It is going to be very solemn
for us church-goers if organs get into the
habit of jumping down and tacking up the
aisle while the deacons are taking up the
collection, or of making a dash at innocent
young people who are doing little harm
ess sparkling in the front pew. 1t seems
to me that most of us will want to stay at
home Sundays if such conduct is to be al
lowed. And if other musical instruments
are to begin the practice-ifpianos are togo
rambling up stairs and crawling out on the
roof; if melodeons are to emerge from the
front door and walk down to the drug
store, and if horns, accordeons, fiddles and
trombones are to go cavorting over the uni
verse without regard to peoples feelings,
why, the sooner we have third term for
Grant, OF establish despotism, or do some
thing serious, the better.

that its one strong popularity was its vigi-

closer than the Genius Of Liberty watches

whereupon Mr.. Metcalf suddenly shut the
door and sat down to think. Then he went
after the man who sold the dog, but he

1t is nelrly hundred years ago,
Since the day that the Count de Rocliambcau--
Our ally against the British crown
Met Washington in Newport town.
Twas the month of March, and the air was chill,
But bareheaded over Aquidneck hill,
Guest and host they took their way,
While on either side was the grand array
Of gallant army, French and fine,
Ranged three deep in glttering line;
And the French fleet sent a welcome roar
Of hundred guns from Canonicut shore.
And the bells rang out from every steeple,
And from street to street the Newport people
Followed and cheered, with hardy zest,
De Rochambcau and his honored guest.
And women out of the windows leant,
And out of the windows smiled and sent
Many a coy admiring glance
To the fine young officers of France.
And the story goes, that the belle of the town
Kissed rose and flung it down
Straight at the feet Of de Rochambeau;
And the gallant Marshal, bending low,
Lifted it up with Frenchman's grace.
And kissed it back, with glance at the face
Of the daring maiden where she stood,
Blushing out of her silzen hood,
That night at the ball. still the story goes,
The Marshal of France wore q faded rose
In his gold-laced coat, but he looked in vain
For the givers beautiful face again.
Night after night and day after day,
The Frenchman eagerly sought, they say,
At feast, or at church; or along the street,
For the girl who flung her rose at his feet.
And she, night after night. day after day,
Was speeding farther and farther away
From the fatal window, the fatal street,
Where her passionate heart had suddenly beat
A throb too much for the cool control
A Puritan teaches to heart and soul;
A throb too much for the wrathful eyes
Of one who had watched in dismayed surprise
From the street below; and taking the gauge
Of woman's heart in that moments rage,
He swore, this old colonial squire.
That before the daylight should expire,
This daughter of his, with her wit and grace,
And her dangerous heart and her beautiful face,
Should be on her way to a sure retreat,
Where no rose of hers could fall at the feet
OF 4 cursed Frenchman, high or iow
And so while the Count de Rochambeau,
In his gold laced coat wore faded flower,
And awaited the glver hour by hour,
She was sailing away IN the wild March night,
On the little deck of the sloop Delight,
Guarded even in the darkness there
BY the wrathful eyes of jealous care.
Three weeks after brig bore down
Into the harbor of Newport town,
Towing wreck-'twas the sloop Delight: -
Off hampton rocks, III the very sight
Of the land she sought, she and her crew,
And all on board of her, full in view
Of the storm-bound fisherman over the bay,
Went to their doom on that April day,
When Rochambeau heard the terrible tale,
He muttered a prayer, for moment grew pale
Then Mon Dieu!r he exclaimed $50 my fine roma
