that | shall hereafter bring forward In my
own vindicaton, am compelled to notice
some other patent msstatements in this
special plea of counsel made in behalf
OF Mr. Beecher, if not by HIMSELF and
one of the first in order which claims at
tenti0n IS the averment in his statement
that 'thc only copy OF Mrs. Tilton's con-
fession was torn IN pieces in his own pres
ence' on the night of the Both of Decem-
Der, 1870, an act upon which he could
hardly be mistaken. On the contrary, |
have stated that that paper of confession"
was delivered into my hands, the night of
the meeting with Beecher and 1ilton at
my house, when Beecher was first charged
with his adulteries with Mrs. Tilton; and
aitcrward when | demanded retraction
of him, he asked me "What will YOU do
with it il ] give it up?' answered II
will keep ii as keep the confession. If
you act honorably, | will protect it with
my life, as | would protect the other with
my life" | may be allowed to say here
that at this remark maize reference to the
pistol in my oYcrcOat pocket, which |
always carried in the night, as emphasizing
the extremity of my defense of the papers.
Yet Mr.. Beccher says, Gle made no verbal
threats, but opened his ovcrcoat and, with
some emphatic remark, he showed pistol"
Why misreprcscntr Is it possible that he
gave his confidence at once to a man who
extoried paper from him with a pistol?
Yet Decchcrs committee make a point of
this prevarcation in their argument for the
accused
After the tripartte covenant | handed
back that same paper to Tilton at the re-
quest OF his wife, in order that she might
be satisfied, and herself destroy it.
,,sl,t al, -
Let contcmporaneous facts and acts an
swer.
1t will he remembered that that meeting
was on Friday night, the Both of Dccem-
Der, 1870. Mrs. T'ilton sent me a note,
heretofore published, dated the next Satur-
day morning, in the following words:
SATURDAY MORNING.
My Dear Frank | want you to do me
the greatest possible favor. Ny letter
which you have, and the one which | gave
Mr.. Beechcr, at his dictation, last evening,
ought both To be destroyed. Please bring
both to me and | will burn them. Show
this note to Theodore and Mr.. Beecher.
They will see the propriety of this request
Yours truly, Il. r. TILToN.
The "letter" referred to, of course, It
will be seen is the confession" the only
letter ] then lad of hers referring to this
matter.
And again, to show that | cannot he
either mistaken or untrue, refer to Mrs.
Tiltons note to Mr.. Beecher OF April 81,
following, heretofore publshed
FRIDAY April 81, 1871.
Mr.. Beccher: AS Mr. Moulton has re-
turned, will you use our influence to have
the papers in his possession destroyed
My heart bleeds night and day at the in
justice of their existence.
Would not Tilton have caused such a
paper to be preserved after he had founded
upon it? This falsehood was put in by
Beecher's lawyers lest Tilton might pro-
duce copy, as my statement had not been
published with its documentary evidence.

Beatrice De- Cenci.
by ISABEL BLAIR.

In the picture gallery OF the Bar
berini Palace, a, Rome, hangs por-
trait OF a young Roman girl, painted
by Guido. II - beautiful but ma
lancholy lace, whose south look OF
sweet, sorrowiul eyes and touch
OF poison paleness," reproduced in
chrome, are SO frequently seen in
parlor and shop window. For OF all
the famous paintings III Rome, none
is better known or more copied than
this. 1t derives peculiar interest
from tho history OF her whose fea.
lures it is said to represent.
Francesca CeHci, tho head of one
The oldest aud weaIthiest families OF
Rome, was a man OF violent tenn.
per, and, in his household, intolera
bly, cruel. Two OF his SONS were
assassinated at his insligation. Al
length, unable longer to endure his
crueI,ies and tyranny, his family up
pealed to the Pope, Clement VIII,
Tor protection. The petitions mis-
carried. and remained ot course, uh
answered. On the night OF the 18th
of September, 1898. francesca was
murdered. He was foand with ar
enormous nail driven into each OF bis
eyes,-a mode OF assassination which
| indicated that a least two persons
were engaged in the work. One q
them was finally captured, and upon
examination, charged the wife son
and the daughter, Beatrice, will
having prompted to the deed. They
had, he testified, put the victim te
sleep by administering a narcotic
draught, and then had introduced
himself and his accompllce lnte
Francesco's chamber. They were

A TERRIBLE SITUATION.

The following passage from Jules
Verne's new wonder book, ''The
Mysterious Island" now appearing
serially in Scribner's Monthly, gives
an idea OF the apparently hopeless
plight in which this author delights
in placing his heroes:
A terrible situation, that of these

Their endeavors were fruitless; the
envelope Of tho air,ship decreased
more aud more. The fluid escaped
without any possibility OF retaining
it. The descent waa visibly accel-
Grated, and, an hour after noon, the
car was suspended not more than
six hundred feet above lh. ocean.
1t was, in fact, impossible to pre-
vent the flight Of the gas. which cs.
capped freely through large rent in
the sack OF the balloon.
BY tightening the car of all the
objects which it contained, the pas
sengers had been able to prolong
their suspension in the air for some
hours. But the inevitable catasiro
phe could only be delayed, and i

The Field of the Cloth Of
Cold.

In 1870, when Henry VIII. had
been on the English throne eleven
years, and Francis | had been king
OF Francs about halt that time, a
gran i meeting was arranged To take
place between King Henry and King
Francis The object OF this meeting
was supposed to be to establish a
firm friendship between these two
monarchs. The place selected was
between Cuisines, a small town near
the frontier, and Ardres, a few miles
distant, in France, but on the ground
belonging TO England.
Through all the principal cities OF
Europe 1T was proclaim Il that, ON =,
CERTAIN day, tnr ktnSs ,
England, a. companions and brothers
in arms, each attended by cishtee
knights, would hold tournament
against all who might choose to
come.
The solcmnities OF the Field OF the
Cloth OF Gold, as the place OF the
meeting came to bo called, occupied
nearly three weeks,-trom the 4lIl
to the 25th of June.
All manner OF expense .ras lavish
ed on the decorations OF this show
There were ..nam castles. toutain
running wine, silk tents, gold lac,
anI toll, gilt lions, and such thing
without end.
Ten days were spent in the feat'
OF arms; there was tiltlng witt
lances, Journeys on horseback will
the broadsword, and fighting on foo
at the barriers; and in all these ex
erclses, the kings, as was to be ex
pected, were victorious against al
comers.
Many \ noble, we arc told, carried
his estate upon his shoulders in jew
eiIed sat,ns and vslvets; and thi
profuse display OF rnagnifioence, mad
at this interview procured tor th
place the name by which it has sine
been known.
