Injured Innocence.

Beecher takes the Tilton revelations
quite coolly. He says he is in the
hands Of his church, and would defer
to its action, At his Peekskill farm,
last Thursday. he said to friend, who
made reference to the new version of
the scandal. that "there was nothing
revealed in the recent published story
that had not been known to the prin-
cipal members Of the church long ago
and as to the penitential tone and nd.
missions Of the letter, about which so
much had been said, that was capable
Of an explanation, and which was al
ready known to some of his friends.
No practical good could come of any
further illumination OF story that
had already been buried in way that
had been satisfactory to everybody
who had any interest in it, This
passage OF Beecher reads like Moses
vindication of himself against the
New York Times.

Correspondent.

Correspondent.
We are surprised that the enterpris-
ing correspondent Of the New York
Times did not interview Dennis, the
penitentiary man. Dennis could not
show him many convicts, but might
acquaint him with q new method
which he and +. J. NJ, Jr., have
patented for running the punitory ma
chine.
Since reading the report on the
management aud condition OF the
Bank Of the State, we think Judge
Graham ought to be interviewed. It
is hard to soy whether he has won the
most distinction by quashing the in
dictment agninst Moses, or by the
self.originating orders of court. which
have scattered the creditors funds to
the winds. His views on reform would
be funny.
Beecher might be pro6tably inter-
viewed just now. His wit and wisdom
on reform would be 30 instructive!
He knows. you know, how it is him

EXTRAORDINARY GRATlTUDR.-Se
raj years ago, while the Tom Thumb
troupe were travelling through New
York, the cash box, containing several
hundred dollars of the funds, was
stolen. Mr. William P. Miller, who
was then treasurer of tho troupe, sus-
pected girl who was employed at the
hotel whore they then were, and his
suspicious were further confirmed by
her sudden disappearance. He ma.
naged, however, to get traolt of her,
after some time had elapsed. and
worked up tue case SO we'll that she
confessed tn hin, that she had taken
the money to purchase wedding ont
fit, and that the marriage was soon to
take place. She refunded half of the
stolen money. aud Mr.. Miller decided
not tn prosecute her for the balance.
Shortly after, she married wealthy
English gentleman, who was engaged
in the lumber business in Chicago.
Not many years had elapsed when her
husband died, leaving her oil of his
property. A few months ago she also
died, and in her will she left to Mr..
Miller the sum of $500, 900, as an e1-
preston OF her gratitude for not hav-
ing prosecuted her when in his power.
Mr.. Miller, who is now of the firm of
Miller. Morrison l. Co., New York,
recently received letter from her ad-
ministrator, stating that he could draw
on him for S100, 600 at any time.

EUROPEAN TROUBLE. happen
ing OF new European trouble is anti
cipated, from q cause which, ut this
day, ought not to be possible. There
are now three Roman Catholic bishops
and over 100 inferior persons of the
same religion in Prussian prisons. It
is considered evident. from the clearly
asserted policy of the Prussian Go
vernment, that the remaining bishops
there OF that church will share the
same fate or be exiled. and Luxem-
bourg, the little principally whose in
dependence is guaranteed by the great
powers of Europe, will probably be-
como their refuge. Should this be the
case. and, as in former instances. pro-
tests come from there and propa-
gsnda be organized, there may be
trouble, as there are already mut,er-
ings from Prussia of serious conse-
quences, should the protection of the
principality. agreed to by the Earl OF
Derby, be enforced under such cir
cnmstances. A variety Of osher COM
plications seems to BIZ arising about
the Eastern question, aud the old
game OF stopping tho organisation of
o French republic is again being
played.

LlTrELL's LIVING AGE FOR lSI5.-
Since its absorption Of Ecery Saturday,
The Living Age has become the only eclectic
weekly Of the country. After its successful
career of over thirty years it seems more
vigorous and prosperous than ever before.
And il would be difficult 10 over-estimate its
value to American readers as the only tho
rough as well as fresh compilation Of cur
rent literature which embraces within its
great and generally inaccessible mass the
productions of the ablest living writers in
science, fiction, poetry, history, biography,
politics, theology, philosophy, criticism, and
art.
Some of the distinguished authors repre-
sented in its pages are named in the pro.
spectus, given in another column.
In the multiplicity of quarterlies, month
lies, and weeklies, all Of which it repre-
sents with satisfying completeness at;
tempted by no other publication, The Lin.
ina Age is an invaluable econonizer of
time, labor, and money. 1t il pronounced
the "best of the eclcclics," and, all things
considered, the cheapest; and has become
almost indispensable 10 every person or
family desiring satisfactory compendium OF
the no!eW orthy in the literary world. lu no
other known way, certainly, can so much OF
the best work of the best minds of the age
be obtained SO conveniently, or with so little
money, as through this most comprehensive
of periodicals.

The Chicago Tribune speaks strongly
against the passage of the civH.rights bill by
Congress at this session, describing the mea-
sure as trenching upon the dangerous ground
of socialism. 1t says:
"Such legislation would not stop with the
negro. It would he but q step to like In
terierence between the relations of whites OF
different social standing. It. would become
as Offensive in politics as coercive sumptuary
laws are. it would inevitably bring disaster
upon the political party that should attempt
to follow il in its numberless and mysterious
qualifications. If at any time it shall
appear that the negro, North or South, is
debarred from protection of bis property,
is DETAINED in his character, or Is de-
priyed of any other right to which be IS en-
titled as a free and equal American citizen,
we shall favor the most rigid Legislation that
may be necessary to restore him these rights.
But we protest against Federal Govern
mental interference with those relations
which men must regulate and manage for
themselves, and through their local leglsa-
tive machinery. Human nature will revolt
against statutory interference with purely
social distinctions, and the olack man and
white man will not be as good friends as
thew are now if they are forced by law into
mutual intercourse Of any kind which either
of them naturally or socially avoids"
