The Tilton Beecher scandal is now in
a fair way for ventilation. Henry Ward
couldn't stand the pressure any longer,
so he has designated a committee of six
persons, members Of his church and So
eiety to investigate all the charges that
have been made against him. The up
shot of the whole matter, as nearly as
we can get at it from this distance, seems
to be that Beecher advised Mrs. Tilton
to leave her husband, who, it is said,
was at one tima engaged in the disrePu-
table business of running around
with strange women. Mrs. T. did not
follow his advice, but Theodore found
out what Henry had been pumping into
his wife's ear, and at once resolved upon
a course of Goodness" toward him,
which course, Tilton says, Beecher and
his friends would not permit him to Hui-
etly pursue,-hence his determination to
make clean breastaof the whole trans
action. Seeing that a crisis was ap-
preaching, Mrs. Tilton recently soured
on Theodore, and leaving his bed and
board, allied herself with Beecher and
his cohorts. This is rough on Tilton
but he says he can stand it, and that he

ReecheE outfit.

Statistics recently published concern
ing the ascent of Mont Blanc show that
from the time of the first ascent at Bal
mat in 1875, 7S4 persons have reached
the sammit, but for some years after
the earliest attempts by Balmat and De
Saussure long intervals elapsed, during
which no one ventured upon the haz-
ardous enterprise. There were no as
cents between 17SS and 1902 and between
1902 and 1907. Since 1850 however,
the summit has in one year been alto
gether unvisited, but the greatest num-
ber of ascents between that date and the
year 1860 were 20 in 1854 and "a in
1855. From 1861 to 1865 the numbers
rose TO 80, "a, "a, "a, 56, and fell in 1S-
20 to IA. Twenty two ascents took
place In 1871, 81 in 1872, and finally 5S
in 1873. This year is likely to show a
much larger number, the ascen's having
begun on the Sd OF June, whereas the
Sd of July was the date of the first at
tempt made in 1873.

Very FOggy.

The foggy mornings of late reminded
us of story related about Mr.. Sparker
We, of course can mot vouch for the
truth of it, but merely give it as we
have heard it.
At one time the old gentleman kept
tavern at the "Riverside House." now
the residenceo of his son, Hon. Joseph
Sparker. One very foggy morning a
travelling guest remarked to Mr.. Spar
ker that the fog was very thick along
the valley in the morning. The old
gentlemen replied:
Yah, but we do not mind it, as we
have fashion of driving it away.
The traveller then said:
Pray Mr.. Sparker tell us how this is
DONE
Mr.. Sparker replied:
We'll we gets up in the morning and
takes dram and goes out and feed the
horses, then we come in and take anoth-
er dram and go out and feed the pigs,
then we come in and take another dram
and goes out again and feed the cows,
and keep on dong so until the fog goes
away. '
The stranger then asked Mr.. Sparkor
how many drains it took 10 drive the
fog away; and the old gautIeman said at
zone time it took dozen, but it was a
very foggy morning"

The Cry about Grants Effort to Sc
cure Third FERN Of the Presi-
1ency.

Since President Grants reelection,
there has been frequent expression of
opinion from certain conspicuous quar-
tiers, that he would aspire for third
term, and that his partisan friends would,
at the proper time unite in securing his
domination, for the third time, by the
party whose successful candidate he had
been in two Presidential campaigns.
This opinion had its origin among the
Liberal Republican leaders, and was by
them first publicly discussed. Upon
what ground it was based was never
clearly or satisfactorily defined. Moth
ing further than the vague statement
that Grant was ambitious and conceited
has been offered as a reason for enter
tanning the belief that he would aspire
for third term. But these persons per-
sisted, when opportunity offered, in
dwelling upon the theme until finally
they have succeeded in making it mat
ter of common discussion in political
circles in all quarters-from the city
club-rooms to the township and c:oss-
roads gatherings. And that which
strikes US as particularly singular in the
self has repeatedly disclaimed any in
tention of being a candidate again, and
that not one of the accredited organs of
his party has ventured to indorse any
movement looking to third nomina-
tion. This fact has been steadily ignor-
ed by those who have been working up
the third term case; and they have per-
severed in their efforts to influence pub
lie opinion against the move in man.
ner calculated to deceive the unsuspect-
ing, and lead them into the belief that
such a job had in reality been set up by
the President and his "henchmen," as
his adherents are called, and that it was
matter whereof all persons at all in
formed in political affairs were fully
cognizant.
Thus by degrees have the originators
of the hue and cry now common through
out political circles, succeeded in draw
ing out some of those persons who favor
the project, and who would favor it all
the same if any other man were in posi-
tion to claim their support. And what
is more astonishing than any thing else
in connection with the whole business, is
the fact that thus far those who have
spoken in favor of the movement"
are southerners, ex-rebels, with Demo-
cratic antecedents. But there is nothing
in it all. The Republican leaders are
not so destitute of political sagacity as
to nominate Grant, and there is no good
reason for believing that he is himself
making any effort to secure the nomina-
tion. Should the party make another
effort with him as the standard bearer,
the result might be easily foretold.

One of the students at Davidson Col
lege, who was too lazy to do anything
right, was in the habit of cleaning out
his lamp-chimney by running his finger
down it as far as he could and twisting
it around. After he had cleaned it out
in this partial manner, one day not long
ago, fellow student took it up and car
ried it to the residence of one of the
Professors with the inquiry, "Why is
it that this chimney is smoked just up
to this point and no farther" The
learned gentleman entered into an elab-
crate scientifc explanation of why it
was, arguing With great lucidness, and
citing vsrioHs authorities to show the
correctness of his reasoning. When he
had finished, the student said to him,
No, sir, you are wrong" "Why is it,
then?" inquired the Professor. Because
the fellows finger wasn't long enough to
reach any farther" replied the student.

The Whereabouts of Other Comets

To the Editor of the Tribune.
For nearly forty years 1 have been an
observer of comets, which have come,
wandered through the heavens for
a few weeks or months, and departed;
returning in few instances, in few 9TH
ers expected to return; but in most cases
passing off in orbits, giving no hope of
a return for thousands of years. The
clouds forbid observation of our present
visitor tonight, and my thoughts go
back to former visitors, long since de-
parted, and 1 ask, Where are they now?
Fisrt, there was Halley's comet, ap.
preaching its perihelion in 1885. That
is now just beyond the orbit of the plan
ct Neptune, having commenced its-1e-
turn during the present year. Next,
vividly impressed upon my recollection,
is the comet of 1843, which saw at
MONDAY near the sun. That is not yet
twice the distance of Neptune. Donati's
comet is little beyond the orbit of
Neptune, and the comet of 1861 is just
crossing that orbit. / refer solely to
distances, and not TO the direction of
these comets. As it is hardly proper to
exclude from our system any planet pos
sibly existing at twice the distance of
the furthest now known, it is proper to
say that one of the hundred comets and
more that have appeared within the last
thirty years, is still nearly or quite with
in the limits of our solar system. Is it
not safe to conclude also that there are
as many already within its limits rush
toward US from every quarter? Donati's
comet left us sixteen years ago. Who
shall tell us where to direct our tele-
scopes to catch the first glimpse of an
other, of glory equal to that ofour pres
ent visitor? ------
