There is story of a country clergy

"Well, my friend" said the pastor
"what induced you to send for me1"
The patient who was rather deaf, ap-
pealed to his wife. "What do he say?"
"He says, shouted the woman, "what
the deuse did you send for him for9"

Libel Suits Growing out of
the Beecher Scandal.

Several law suits have been instituted
by Henry O. Bowen, for libels which
he claims have been published of him
in some Of the Brooklyn evening journ-
ais. There is liable suit against the
Brooklyn Eagle, in which the damages
are laid at 500, 900, for an interview
with him reported 10 that paper on the
4th inst, which Mr.. Bowen states nev.
er took place. In the summons and
complaint which were yesterday served
upon the proprietor Of the paper, the
interview Is producted and contains GER
tain statements purporting to come from
Mr.. Bowen in relation to the interview
he and Mr.. Claflin had with Mrs.
Woodruff. He is represented as hav-
ing stated that he would have believed the
Woodruff story had she shown him all
the documents at the time. He is also
made to say that he was surprised
these documents were not received by
the Investigation Committee, when she
offered to produce them. Mr.. Bowen
has also instituted libel suit
against the reporter, In which he
claims damages of $4,000, and in
this case bail was fixed at $4,000.
James McDormott, who wrote the al
legged interview in the Eagle, has made
an affidavit stating that everything con-
tanned in the article was true, and that
he had the interview with Mr.. Bowen
on the evening Of August 6, at Bowen's
residence at Willow and Clark streets,
between z and 0 O'Clock. McDermott
is not regularly employed by the Eagle,
but has recently furnished several ar
ticles and reports Of interviews to the
Argus ond Eagle.
A Criminal suit is also brought a
gainst Mr.. Barnes, proprietor of the
Brooklyn Argus, for malicious libel"
published in that journal on the Gath
inst, in which the memory and repu.
tation of Mr.. Bowen's late wife his Will
fed, with intent, heclaimes, to injure and
fran himself and family. This COM
plaint is made In Mr.. Bowen's behalf
and in behalf Of his two sons, Edward
A. Bowen and Clarence W. Bowen.
The legal papers containing these
charges were sworn to last week before
Justice Morse, who immediately caused
warrant to be issued for the arrest Of
Mr.. Barnes, Officer Barr executed the
warrant, and soon after Mr.. Barnes
appeared In court and stated that the
article complained of was published
without his knowledge, and that as soon
as he discovered 1t he caused the pub
llcation to be stopped.
The alleged libel 10 the case of Mr..
Barnes consists of the publication of
an article purporting to be an interview
with Mr.. II. M. Smith, late Of the
Chicago Tribune, In which the name Of
DR.. Patton, of Chicago. is very freely
mentioned as the authority for certain
statements regarding Mr.. Bowen's fami-
ly of which that gentleman now COM
plains. Mr.. Smith denied the accuracy
of the assertions imputed to him in the
published interview; but, according TO
q statement in the Tribune, 1t appears
that the matters therein alluded to
were the subject of a heightened con-
versation on Sunday last between Mr..
Smith. Mr.. Tilton, Mr.. Ray, of the
Argus, and a stenngrapber named Un-
derhlll, of which Mr.. Ray, 1t appears,
took short hand notes In the presence
of Mr.. Smith.

Hints on House Cleaning.

Paint should be cleaned by using
only little water at time and
changing often a soft flannel cloth
or sponge is better than cotton or
hrnsh q niece of rinn ~eUd WIN a
sharp point should be used for the
corners. Where the paint is stain
ed with smoke, some ashes or
potash-lye may be used. A soft
linen towel should be used for wip>
ing dry. Glass should not be clean
ed with soap; little paste of whit
ing and water should be rubbed
over, and with another cloth it
should be rinsed off, and the glass
polished with a soft linen or old
silk handkerchief. Alcohol or ben<
zine is a good thing to clean glass,
and clean paper is probably better
than any cloth, sponge or towel
dry paper leaves an excellent polish.
Marble may be cleaned with a mix.

The Man who Came so Near Going
over Niagara EaiIs.

LUFFALo, n. y, June About
1870 O clock this morning pain.
ter named William Mccullough,
who was at work on the Second
Sister Island bridge, above Niagra
Falls, by s1rne mischance fell into
the raging current beneath. The
water at this point rushes and Sur~
ges along to the C taract, three
quarters Of Il mile below, with ire
sistible force. All along the stream,
down the brink Of the American
fall, the bed Of the river is thicklv
studded with huge boulders, around
and over which the current seethes
and boiis as if in fury at the OBJ
structiOns. 1t was down this fright
full channel that the unfortunate
man was swept with the velocity of
u whirlw.nd. His doom appeared
to be sealed, for nothing short Of a
miracle could rescue him from the
clutches Of the angry waters, and
the fearful plunge over the falls be-
low,
1t seemed as though he must have
drowned long before reaching the
cataract, but he did not. Neither
did he 60 over the falls. In q short
time after falling from the bridge,
he was seen standing erect upon a
| rock that lifts itself above the wa~
ter in the rapids. Here he appear
ed to be as far from human aid as
before, for it was almost certain
death to go to his rescue but a
hero was found equal to the emero
gency, and amid the widest excite
ment among the throng who now
lined the shore preparations for his
rescue were made.
A rope was securely fastened to
the bank some distance above, and
Thomas Conroy, who had yolun>
teered for the hazardous undertak-
ing, succeeded in reaching the place
where Mccullough was standing.
By means of the rope both men
were safely hauled ashore.
Strange as it may be, Mccullough
was not Injured in the least, and
will probably be about tomorrow
none the worse for his perilous bath
