Father Ryan commenced BY remarking that
he would, in the manner Of ladies, who Some
times excused themselves for not singing, apoI-
ogize for not having lectured at the time frst
announced. He was unable TO do so on ac-
count of illness, and had been admonishsd By
his physician to give up preaching and lectur-
ing altogether.
He then read the Scripture account Of the
trial Of Jesus before Plate, and proceeded to
Of his answers. They haunted him TO the last.
He then drew a vivid picture of the scene
between Christ, the meek criminal, and PLATE,
the naughty judge. The Kingdom Of Christ
was not Of this world. He came that he might
give testimony Of the truth. Out Of all this
came the question,

The Beecher Case.-- MOulton's State
ment.

NEW YORK, Aug II, 1874
A feeling of disappointment prevails
In the community growing out Of the
unsatisfactory end toward which the
Beecher. T'ilton scandal is drifting. The
withholding from the public OF Moul-
tons statement is the subject OF much
unfavorable comment. There is gen.
eral belief that compromise OF the
whole affair is on foot.
Gen Tracy said to-day that the COM
mittee had not decided whether ii will
keep Moultons statement back until all
the proceedings are printed or keep it
back altogether.
Mr. Shearman in an interview to-day,
said, in relation to the publication of
Moulton's statement, that Moulton in
sisted on "A pledge of secrecy from the
committee The arrangements came
about in this way: Moulton insisted that
pledge should be given by the com
mittee that none of his testimony should
be made public until a member of the
committee, who was named, and he
should meet together and agree upon its
publication in whole or in part, or upon
its suppression until the Investigating
Committee had taken all the testimony
and was ready TO report its verdict, ac-
companied by the evidence taken, in full,
upon which that verdict was grounded.
Mr. Sherman, after further question
ing, said II know all that Frank Moul-
ton can say or has To say, and know
there is nothing. | say that | know that
there il nothing that he has in his pos.
session that can implicate Mr.. Beecher
one iota; nothing, because there is moth
ing in existence to implicate him. Why,
If could tell you all know about this
case il would show you Mr. Beecher's
motives in keeping silent, and would
show him blameless as clearly as
if calcium light were turned on
the whole story. If Mr.. Beecher had
spoken long ago these clouds would
have disappeared like mist before sum
mcr wind And yet, even now, would
not advise Dir. Beecher to speak out,
knowing AS do the circumstances of the
case, though his own character would
seem to demand that he should tell the
public what thew have absolutely no
right to know. There is prurient Gu.
riosity abroad to know every detail Of
thia disgusting business (which Is abso-
lutely shocking. Mr.. Beecher has held

The SKEPTICAL CoNvINCED--Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can
stand the silent argument of good re-
suits. When DIR. Walker proclaimed that
he had produced from the medicinal
herbs of California an Elixir that would
regenerate the sinking system and cure
diseases not organic the incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BlTTERs is now the Standard Restorative
of the Western World. The truth could
not be resisted Under the operation of
the new remedy Dyspeptics regained
their health, appetite and strength, the
Bilious and Constipated were relieved of
every distressing symptom; the Con-
sumptive and Rheumatic rapidly recov-
cred; Intermittent and Remittent Fevers
were broken up; the faint of Scrofula
was eradicated! Who could gainsay
facts like theses Not even the Faculty.
Skepticism was routed All doubts as to
the claims of the Bitters to the first
place in the first rank of modern medi-
cines were silenced and this wonderful
preparation is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. In common
with other journalists we are free to add
our testimony to this remedy. 1t is A
domestic medicine, and no household
should be without it.

Fearful Effects Of a NitrO-Glycerine
Explosion.

The terrible effects of the explosion of
six cans OF nitro glycerine Q50 pounds),
near Parker's Landing, Pa, by which
young man named John Osborne was
blown to atoms, are thus described:
Osborne started from Emlenton for Pc
trolia, where he was TO fill several orders.
When he reached Parker ii was too dark
to proceed further with any degree of
safety, and he was persuaded by rela-
tive to remain over night. He was called
early in the morning, and, obtaining a
horse and blackboard, started from Par
ker over the toughest road that was pos
sible, although it is conjectured he went
that way to make time, as 1t Is the near
est route He had crossed Bear Creek
and was over 100 feet up the south slope
of the hill when the explosion occurred.
Osborne's body was horribly mangled.
The head and body from above the hips
and portions of the arms were thrown
over 300 feet from the scene. Entrails,
parts of clothing and debris could be
seen banging in the tops of trees, though
they were over 100 feet high. The head
and portions of the stomach were found
in Bear Creek, over 100 feet distant. The
right hand was found nearly half mile
away, and in radius of mile numer-
GUS other portions were found, but it
would be utterly impossible to distin-
guish them from portions of the horse,
whose body was scattered in all direc-
tions by the terrific conclusion. The
shoes were torn from the horses feet,
which may be termed the most singular
incident Of the dreadful disaster. The
seat of the blackboard and part of the
structure were found scattered over hill
and ravines, and could not be distin-
guished except by previous knowledge
of what il was. The trees were stripped
of the foliage for rods around. many of
them being barked. The excavation in
the road caused by the explosion was
four to FIVE feet deep, and most of it was
from solid rock.--Bost0a Herald.
