I1ltOn9S Statement,
(From the Brooklyn Eaele-Beecher organ J
Tilton's forthcoming statement will.
it is said, disappoint the public great.
ly. The supposition has been that he
would undertake to prove that Beecher
had done him grave psrsonal injury;
that he would specify that wrong, and
adduce evidence Of it's reality. It is
now understood that he has resolved
to remain reticent in regard to his
own family, but will 60 into the gen.
eral scandal. In other words, he will
attempt to show that Beecher out.
ragged not Ttlton's, but some
other household. He reasons in this
way: my proposition 10 that Beecher
is not . 1it man to occupy . christian
pulpit. What Beecher has done to me
10 my own affair ; the public interest
has property in my main proposi.
ton, and in support of it I submit the
following statement" &c., &c. This
document, there is good reason for
stating, win Affect the character of two
other women besides Mrs. Tilton. The
consistency Of Mr.. Tilton's position
will best be judged Of by the public
when the statement appears, and it's
contents are compared with his prom.
ises. ....

A Curious Heirloom.

I. Awell.to.do farmer, named Re..ler
of Rails county, No., caught the Texas p,
emigration fever last spring, and start-
ed down to Western Texas with hia
wife and four children and his honae.
hold effects, all packed iH efalerant
wagons of the usual style. de passed
through Sedalia the other day, return.
ing to Rails county in one dilapidated
wagon, drawn by broken-down horses.
and one child fewer. His Oldest .daueh-
ter, young lady of seventeen, was
not with the family party. .Why did
they leave her behind?" q friend asked
the Way'worn father. he told lit
tie story of his experiences; how he,
had settled in the wilds, four miles:
from any other white habitation, on o.
pleasant stream, beside living spring. j
His Oldest daughter went to the
spring one day to get bucket Of
water and never returned. The,
mother heard wild scream and then
the sound of galloping horses. She.
ran to the spring, but the girl was not
there. The father was hunting, but
soon returned, and discovered the
tracks of about fifteen Indian ponie.
near the spot, Comanches. Mr.. Ress,
ler gave the alarm and got togethe,
ten men on good herses, and the ban6
started in pursuit of the savages. They
came up with them, and fight began,
AS soon as the fight began the girl
was killed by her captors and scalped J
All the Indians got away. but three,
and one of these had the scalp in hie
belt. They left these three Indisns
there, not wishing to be troubled with
prisoners, and gave up the pursuit. J
The father buried his child near where
she was killed, and returned homeS
with her scalp in his pocket. The
family soon resolved to move out o.
Texas, and were pursuing their weary
way toward Rails. The friend asked
what became Of the scalp?" tn,
mother pointed to q large chest in tho
wagon and said: ''It is there" ShtS
opened the chest and produced long
lock of black hair, cut from the crown
Of the head, with about an inch and q
half in diameter Of the scalp attached
So they preserve and cherish theisN
household gods.
