In speaking Of this great show we can do no
better than quote the following from the
Buffalo IN. y Courier;
"Ihe Great New York and New Orleans To-

liant eaysIeade, and the now famous Parisian

several weeks; that It Is in all resPeets what
it has been represented 20 be- The collection

the Alaska sea Lion il, after all, the grea;

MY BODILY SYMPTOMS,

and add that on this day l felt symp-
toms on me. The main pOint is, that l
was worried out with the whole busi-
ness, and would have been glad 10 es-
cape by death, of which l had no dread.
could see no end but death to the ac-
eumulatiou OF torture, but l resolved to
stop short and waste nc more time IN
making matters worse i felt that
NouitUn had better stop too, and let the
whole thing come out. l determined
then TO MAKE a true and full statement
which | now make, and leave the re-
suit with God. Mr.. Tilton bad repeatedly
urged me, as stated IN my letter, not
to betray his wife, and | felt bound by
every sense OF honor that should l be
pressed by inquiries from my church or
family, as 20 the foundation Of rumOrs
which might reach them, 10 keep this
promise by promise; l meant only that
[ would not betray the excessive affec-
tis n which his wife, as | had been told,
had conceived for me, and had con-
fessed to him; did not refer to sdul-
taPy; if there had been such q fact in
existence its betrayal would have ruined
me as well as her, and pledge not to
destroy myself would not have been too
absurd TO be mentioned in this letter.
In reply to this note, which was calm
and reserved, rather than glOOmed, Mr.
Moulton wrote the same day letter OF
three and 8 half sheets Of copy paper, in
which he deliberately, and twice in sue
cession reaffirmed his main statement,

DIRECT APPEAL

to the committee, as follows:
Gentlemen of the Committee, in the
note requesting your appointment !
asked that you should make fuii inyes-
tiRation of all sources Of Information.
You are witnesses that have iB no way
Influenced or iDterfersd with your pro-
ceedings or duties. l have wished the
investigation to be 50 searching that
nothing could unsettIe its results. l
have nothing to gain by suppression or
compromise. For four years have
borne and suffered enough. and
1 will not go step further,
1 will be free. l vii not walk under 3
rod or yoke. II any man would do me
a favor, let him tell ali he knows now
1t Is not mine to lay down the law o.
honor In regard to the use Of other per-
sons confidential communications, but,
in so far as my writings are concerned,
there Is not letter or document which
/ am afraid to have exhibited, end an
thorize any, and cali on any living per-
son to produce and print frthwith what
ever writings they have from aBy source
Whatever. 1t is true, for the sake Of
DEcENCY AND PUBLIC MORALS,
that this matter should be brought te an
end; it's anopen pool OF corruption ex-
haling deadly vspors for six weeks.
The nation has risen up and sat down
upon the scandal. Not 3 great var
nor q revolution could nao,e have
filed the newspapers than this
question Of domestic trouble mag
Iifed e thousand fold, and like q
sore spot in the human body, drawing
So C !.se.s !.ss.. every morbid humor in the
blood. Whoever is buried with il, It Is
time that this determination ne barred
below ali touch or power Of resurrection.

Beecher goes on to state how he
patched up hollow peace with Tilton
and Of his efforts to suppress the scan

doing, and proceeds with his story:
One more fact should be told, ard es-
pecially as Mr.. Tilton has invited it.
Money has been obtained from Ha in
the course OF these affairs in c3n-idera-
ble sums, but did not at first look upon
the suggestions that 1 should contrib

THE LETTER OF MRS. TILToN,
which is here partly quoted, is as fol-

fore leaving home. If so, be not east

an account OF the origin OF the
somewhat famous tripaTtite agreement.
shortly after the foregoing let eT was
written, MIR. TiltOn returned to the city,
thoroughly discouraged with the result
of his lecturiDg tour. The Golden Age,
which had then been established about
q year, had not succeeded, and WAS IN
derstOOd TO be losing money. His pecu-
mary obligations were pressing, and
although his claim against Bowen for
violating of his two contracts, had q
wear previously been put under the eX.
elusive control OF MOultOn with a view
of settlement, it had not been effected.
| About this time Mr.. Moulton, who was

what shall We do to make Ep lQr this

question, 1t seems to me, but one rem
edy-let US learu to do with but little
money by raising our own supplies. A
farmer who raises on his farm every-

money. Let Us make ourselves inde-

Captain HaIl,s Mysterious Death.

When Capt. Halls death was an
nounced in May of last year, the theory
was broached that he had been poisoned
by an envious rival. Capt. Tyson was
the sworn friend of Capt. Hall. Under
peculiar circumstances Capt. Tyson and
few other persons were left on a foe
OF ice IN the upper part of Baffin's bay,
just as the long night of the arctic win
ter was coming on, while all the officers
and the remainder of the crew of the
Polaris steamed into protected cove.
Through unparalleled hardship and suf-
fer1ng Capt. Tyson's party doated all
winter on the ice, and were, more than
six months after the separation, picked
up 800 miles from their starting point
by fishing vessel. The story told by
the rescued party was SO extraordinary
that the government had them all i'm
me1lately transported to Washington,
and, separated from each other, took
their dispositions in regard to the death
of Capt. Hall. The government officers
undertook to silence the story of foul
play toward Capt. Hall, and very little
has been said about it since. That they
were convinced by Capt. Tyson's state
ment is evident from the fact that they,
on the part of the government, placed
Capt. Tyson in command of an expedi-
tlOn TO Search Tor the missing HOlafls
and the remainder of her crew. This
would not have been done had not con
fdence been placed in his statement.
The "Diary" of Capt. Tyson has al
length been published. In intensity Of
interest no fiction ever surpassed it.
That part of the diary written after sep
aration from the Polaris was penciled IL
a pocket memorandum book, with al
most frozen fngers-the mercury con
geaIed-and by the dim light of the
northern borealis and an arctic moon
It bears internal evidence of truth, sim
plicity and exactness. That part re
lating to the antecedents of Halls deatl
had to be written from more slendel
data, his original memoranda having
been left on board the Polaris. WhC
ever reads Tyson's statement in regard
to the jealousy of the officers, insubor
dination of the crew, and the singula
death of Capt. Hall, must be convinceC
that he was poisoned. The matte
should not rest here. The governmen
ought, before this time, to have made
vigorous examination, procured the re
mains of Capt. Hall, and held the entir
crew of the Polaris as Witnesses
| BroOkly71 ArQus.

A Savage Lot of Bees.

One of the terrors of the Nile traveller
is bees At one time the adverse wind
made it necessary that DR., Schwein-
furth's boat should be towed by the
crew. AS the rope was being drawn
along through the grass on the banks,
it happened that it disturbed a swarm
of bees. In q moment, like a great
cloud, they burst upon the men who
were dragging. Every one of them
threw themselves headlong into the
water, and hurried to regain the boat.
The swarm followed them, and in few
seconds filed every nook and Granny of
the deck.
DIR. Schweinfurth was sitting quietly
in his rude cabin, arranging his botan-
icaI specimens, when he heard a scam
pering around the deck, which he at
first took to be the usual frolicking of
his people, but as the noise increased.
he called out for an explanation of the
disturbance. For an answer he re-
ceived only the cry of 'Bees bees !''
Springing up he endeavored to light
his pipe, hoping to protect himself with
smoke, but it was too late the bees
were already upon him. Thousands
surrounded him and he was mercilesslv
stung all over his face and hands. He
endeavored to protect his face with his
handkerchief, but all to no purpose ;
the more violently he flung his hands
about the more violent became the i'm
petuesity of the irritated insects. At
length, almost maddened, he threw
himself into the river, but the stinos
still rained down upon his head. He
tried to gain the mainland, hoping to
find shelter in the woods, but some of
the faithful servants, knowing that
course to be certain death, forced him
back into the boat. Here he wrapped
himself in sheet, which, after he had
crushed the bees inside, afforded him
some protection. He crushed down in
this way for full three hours, while the
buzzing continued uninterruptedly, and
solitary stings penetrated through the
linen covering. Every one in the boat
pursued the same course, and gradually
the buzzing subsided.
At length some courageous fellows
crept stealthily to the banks and sci
fire to the reeds. The smoke which
rose blinded and stupefed the bees, sc
that the boat was successfully driver
beyond their reach. Free from further
apprehension, the sufferers proceeded
to examine their injuries. Some of the
stings were extracted with pincers, bu
those which remained produced ulcer:
and even fever, which kept the whole
boats company in an uncomfortable
state for several DAYS.
