Tho Unfortunate Smiley.

Says Max Adler: When Smiley,
of Pittsburgh, started for Philadel-
phia, the other day, . woman occu-
pied the seat in front of him with
twin infants. Just before the train
moved of the woman asked Smiley
to hold the babies for q moment,
while she went to q drug store across
the street after q new bottle top. He
took the little ones, and before the
woman returned the train started.
Smiley was In agony, and when
the babies began to cry, no words
can describe his misery.
All the passengers were looking at
him, and as he handled the babies
up and down, one on each knee, the
preparation streamed from every
pore. This kind Of thing continued
until dark, and then, as the conduc-
tor refused to have anything to do
with the infants, poor old Smiley
put them in his own berth, and tried
to sooth them. But the more he
tried, the more they howled, and
he sat up alongside of them the
whole night, utterly wretched,
while the other passengers swore at
him, and threw boots at his head.
and called him hard names, because
be wouldn't keep the youngsters
quiet. BY the time morning came,
Smiley was pretty near crazy, and
the twins were almost starved to
death. He had nothing to give
them but plug tobacco and bay rum,
which he carried for his hair, and
he knew they were not healthy.
The first tine the train stopped be
bolted out and bought . pie. When
he returned one Of the twins had
tumbled of the seat and had 0 bro
kennose: but he stuffed them both
with the pie gorge. Then Smiley
was In . worse case than the very
verge Of insanity, and his reason
was all but dethroned when o po-
liceman entered the car and seized
him on the authority Of telegram
from Pittsburgh, on . charge of kid
mapping. He spent the night in
Jail; and was then released on bail.
He wants to find the father Of those
twins. He yearns to tell him some
thing, and to tumble among his
hair.

OFFICE OMAHA DAILY BEE,
March %, 1874.
Business In wholesale lines was
fairly active to-day In all branches.
The demand for dry goods was
larger than usual. Groceries moved
in heavy lots and prices were well
maintained throughout. Coffses
settled at yesterdays quotations and
the impression in business circles
seems to be that they have touched
bottom, for the present at least.
The market is well stocked with the
better brands Of teas and prices arc
low enough to compete with New
York or San Francisco.
More than the usual number of
western merchants left for home by
this mornings trains, and the pack
ing rooms r still busy with their
orders.

/ with the sentiments of the Woodruff gang. An.
other and older sister appeals plaintyely to thepub
lie in behalf of her brother affirming that bis life is
sufficient answer to all the calumnies which have
been hurled against him.
1t is strange complication Mouton, the one
bosom friend Of Beecher, becomes hideous under the
light which the latter almost uneousciously turns
upon him. Beecher is so stunned that the treason
of Moulton seems TO him like dream than reali-
ty Tilton becomes more repugnant, as be is
brought into the foreground by Beecher. Carpenter
is merely an average fool whose Office was to fetch
and carry the of of scandal Mrs. Tilion is so en-
tangled in the network of her own untruthfu state
ments that her entire testimony would break down
in any court of law.
In one respect, Beecher is not unlike many other
notable meu. Heis no judge ofcharacter. Reldcks
the clear aud cold insight whereby character is
quickly and accurately read and, therefore judges
men through bis affections. Chase and other lead
ing men had the same weakness. When the later
died, his manuscripts and private papers fell into
the hands of his friend, Bob Warden, an ignorant
man, who Immediately set about writing the life of
Chase weaving into it domestic piivacies and scan.
dals.
1t cannot escape notice that Beecher's troubles
are closely connected with two desperate newspaper
enterprises The Golden Age was Tilton's paper.
1t was not paying concern. He wanted money,
became desperate, and, as the evidence shows, got
it by bleeding Beecher- Victoria Woodruff was al
so publishing Woodruff and clqt,fs Weekly, and
kept il afoat by meuaeing the peace of men and
families. Woodruff in her most desperate straits,
said that she had two letters from Beecher which, If
20 sha s;n AL
covery. Tllton in his most deperate straits, said
that be had letters from Beecher which would also
sink him. Seven thousand dollars, and probably
more, were drawn black-mail from Beecher.
Moulton, the factotem of Tilton, and the alleged
disciple of Woodruff, took the money and dis
tributed it where it would do the most good. Ifa
part applied hush.money in TIlton's case,
why may We not suppose that some part went as
hush-money in the other case? Whatever may hap
pen to Others Moulton is overtaken by a retribu-
ton which settles his case as tour mutual friend"
Add to this outline of incidents all the llingin of
facts which rightly belong the story, and the final
chapter of Beecher brought to bay, aud fighting his
own way out into the open day over his protrate
foes-eHough to throw all such tame novels as Nor
rood into the shade Beecher has now the material
to work into book, using only many Of the facts
as are stranger than fiction.
With the evidence thus far presented no case could
be made against Beecher in the courts. Even the
multated and tortured extracts from his own let
tiers bear CONSTANT Interpretation IN the light of
his own explanations. While Beecher is working
his way out aud his acquittal is foreshadowed,
Moulton aud Tilton are becoming more and more
involved in what appears TO be the greatest con-
spiracy of the times.

1865, aud to repeal Sections and of Chapter Sc
of the Penal Code
/ An ACT to provide for the Codhcation and Revi-
sion Of the Laws of the Kingdom.
Az AcT giving time to MOrtgagOrs to redeem in
certain cases.
Az ACT to amend the law in relation to the As
sessment and Collection of Taxes.
The first law, relating to the reduction Of the
term of imprisonment Of criminals, is designed to
encourage good behavior on their part Such
/ laws have been found to work well in other coun-
tries though they unquestionably bold up TO every
criminal the hope of pardor before his term of
Imprisonment expires, and to some extent rot
/ the law of its force as check on crime Still, if
it works well elsewhere, why may it not here
The second act. pertaining to qualifications Of
electors, abolishes the property qualification i'm
posed by the Constitution and by the Election
law passed after that instrument was enforced.
The Constitution had already beenamended, and
the amendment of this law followed, as q neces-
sary consequence. The only qualifications for
voters now are : that they be subjects of the
King, that they have never been convicted of
crimes, are NOT insane that they have been resid
ing one year in the district where voting, and
that they can read and write, if born after 1910.
The repeal of this clause throws the privilege of
franchise open TO nearly all.
The act providing for the codifcation of the
laws of the kingdom may, if the work is properly
done, result 10 providing the nation with volume,
into which all the laws now in force may be COL
Iected. Many of the laws, both civil and penal,
have been so changed by frequent amendments
and repeats. that it is difficult for any one to
know just what the statute is. The work Of revi-
sion, however, should be entrusted to one person,
who may be able to devote to it all his time In
this way, it can be faithfully and speedily accom-.
plished; while if left to several, it may never be
DONE or but partially and imperrectly.
The act to.amend the statute relating to the
assessment and collection of taxes, makes two or
three changes from the old law. It repeats
the old provision for two assessors to be appointed
every fifth year, and requires the work hereafter
TO be done by one only. This change will save
the public treasury from seven to eight thousand
dollars. 1t also makes some change in the con-
sttution of the board of appeals, which hereafter
will consist of the police magistrate aud two i'm
partial citizens, to be appointed by the Minister
of Finance

Power Of the Press.


In lecture delivered last month BY DR.. Eells
in Oakland be spoke Of the press in the following
truthful language: "The newspaper press is &C
knOwlsdged as a great power 10 mOlding public
sentiment. and the chief means now employed
for reaching the minds Of the people. If man
wants to get at the public ear he does not go
on the platform. or write book, or article for
a magazine. If be does, it is only as an indirect
way Of reaching the newspapers through the re-
ports or reviews which he expects will be written
OF him. The addresses Of politicians, the speeches
made in Congress, and ia the Legislature, the
proceedings of meetings and conventions Of vari-
Gus kinds, and the anniversaries OF societies. ETC.
are dependent for their effects principally upon
the reports given of them through the columns
of the newspapers. Even the power Of a sermon
is often multiplied many fold by means Of the
same agency. The influence Of the newspaper is
almost insiinciively felt by every one and though
some may sniff and toss their heads aud turn
up their noses at it, this is generally done only to
conceal the inward recognition Of the very power
which they affect to despise. There are very
many who do not think for themselves, bot take
their opinions as they are given to them by
others and many even intelligent persons are.
perhaps, IN the habit Of suspending
their opinions upon almost every public matter
until they see what the papers have to say about
it. and then making their decisions accordingly
