Another Statement by MIR. Tilton.

THE second statement of Theodore
Iilton was published in the New York
Graphic and in the Chicago Tribune, extra,
on the 18th. The following is brief
summary of this very lengthy document,
which extends over twenty-eight columns
in the Tribune:
Mr.. Tilton commences by answering the two
statements of Mrs. Tilton that he had been for
ten years Jealous Of Mr. Beecher's reputation, and
been maltreating her for the same period of time.
This he attempts to do by producing va
5 1sssea sqWsen and hasa that
down to July 8, 1870. the date at which
he he first aware Of the
correspondence with Mrs. Tilton down to the
same period of time. He supplements this with
date, July 3, 1870, did he entertain an unkind
thought, or utter an unklnd word, to either Mr..
Beecher or his wife.
place and manner Of Mrs. tons
her alleged corruption by Mr.. Beecher, and fixes
the date Of its contamination, Oct. TO- 1858, by
.he d .ai che had y M
mark 1t In her own recollection.
Then followed letter from Susan B. Anthony
ton against Mr. Beecher, both for his crime and
for his want OF veracity concerning it. The sup
posed significance of this letter is that Mrs Tilton
nau confessed the crime TO MISS Anthony, and
that Miss Anthony and Mrs. Hooker were in cor
resPondence concerning it as thing about which
there could be no dispute.
He next seeks to defend Mrs. Triton against the
charge made against her by Mr. Beecher that she
made the first advances. For this charge saws
Mr.. TiltOn, II brand him as a coward of uncOm-
mon bascness." Elsewhere Mr.. Tilton sarcasti-
cally descants on the groveling character Of one
who will accept the last extreme favor of
woman, and then appoint committee of six to
publicly investigate her conduct.
series of letters of Mrs. Morse (Mrs. Tiltons
mother) are given, which contain frequent allu-
sions to the relations existing between Mr..
Beecher and Mrs. TfltOn. Mr.. Tilton accuses
band by the cravat and choking him till he was
black In the face, after which he (Mr. Morsc)
summoned the family together and legally and
formally separated from her-the separation con-
tinung to this day.
"a letter not previously published Is given from
Mrs. Iilton to her mother Enclosing one to Mr..
Tilton), written at Marietta, O., few months
after her alleged confession. 1t contains re-
peated illusions to some ofense committed by
her, and speaks Of q confession she had made

The timber used in the French dock.
yards is, before being constructively EN-.
ployed, subjected to slight carboniza-
ton treatment, by means Of Jet of
common coal gas. By thus charring the
timber the surface is exposed to a con-
siderable degree of heat, the primary ef-
feet of which is to exhaust the sap of the
epidermis and to dry up the fermcnting
principles; in the second place, below
the outside layer, completely carbonized,
scorched surface is found, that is to
say, partly distilled, and impregnated
with the products of that distiilation,
namely, creosote and empyreumatic oils,
the antiseptic nature of which is well
known-especially serviceable, in the
case OF ship timber, to prevent rot.
The electro-capillary engine, a new
motor, is described in La Natare. Its
operation is explained or illustrated by
the simple experiment of placing drop
of mercury in the bottom of a glass and
filling the latter with water slightly acid
ulated with sulphuric acid and also
treated with few drops of bi.chromate
OF potash. If now the mercury be
touched with an iron point it will be OBJ
served to contract quickly and to take a
new form, which it will maintain until
the point be withdrawn, when it will re-
sumo its former shape. These alternate
contractions and expansions can be made
to succeed each other as rapidly as the
point can be applied and removed, and
when a large drop of mercury is used
their appearance is most singular. 1t is
the galvanic current which is produced
by the iron, the calculated water and the
mercury which changes the force of the
capillary attraction-this being the
power which, in the beginning, keeps
the drop of quicksilver IN it's globular
form and prevents its spreading or fiat
tening out.
